| Hedwig and the Angry Inch – Wicked Little Town (Reprise) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This song is a response to Hedwig's own version of Wicked Little Town. Hedwig believes so strongly abstract concepts such as fate and luck and how he has been a victim to both throughout his life. As a result, he is vindictive towards Tommy and believes it is deserved and indignant hatred. Tommy tries to explain to Hedwig in this version that he was wrong and he admires Hedwig for everything he is and the relationship they had at one point, but Hedwig's philosophies are completely wrong. He insists that Hedwig is looking in the sky for a scapegoat and fate and luck had no part in this: "You think that Luck Has left you there. But maybe there's nothing up in the sky but air." and "And there's no mystical design, No cosmic lover preassigned. There's nothing you can find that can not be found." By re-using the original "So when you've got no other choice, You know you can follow my voice..." Tommy is trying to show Hedwig that he is now the one in the position to guide, for Hedwig has not only lost a part of him since they were last close, but also lost his way. Anywho, it's such a great song! The version by The Bens (later to be called Ben Folds Five) is also amazing! |
