Here are some corrections: saw you dropped in the slot sayin' I got a brand new game running down the alley with an hour you bought from a man with no last name like an idiot animal too stupid to shame got a brand new game got a brand new, brand new game got a brand new game got a brand new game ape men in a cave painting on the wall nothing's going to keep ambition's menacing glances and nothing's that's got it all from gazing over to where hope sleeps artificially small like a beast too tame got a brand new, brand new game got a brand new game got a brand new game no happiness allowed cuz one's never enough, two is always a crowd I've got a microscope and a slide and a glass eye nature made everything's impossible there's nothing to do but oppose this promenade push the point to oblivion and keep turning the blade got a brand new game got a brand new, brand new game got a brand new game got a brand new game the meaning? gosh, i dunno. |

| Mew – 156 Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| 156 is the chord progression playing during the chorus. the chorus is in c# minor, so when they sing 1 5 6, the chords are actually changing on the rhythm that 1 5 6 is sang-- c#min G#min Amaj. although the bass doesn't play the root of the 5 chord, which is G# minor, the 5 chord is very strongly implied in the instrumentation and in that synthesized string line which plays G# (the root of the 5 chord) right when they say "5". i dont know if this is actually why they say 156, but if it's just a coincidence that they're saying 156 and the chord progerssion happens to be 156 changing right in rhythm with the vocal line, then damn that's quite a coincidence. | |
