| David Bowie – No Plan Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
I've read a few comment elsewhere which seem to think this is Bowie knowingly singing beyond the grave. I don't think it is, judging by his final line 'this is not quite yet'. I think he's trying to convey exactly where he was when he wrote this, the uncertainty, not knowing when he's going to die exactly. He, as does everyone, spent his whole life making plans for whatever's next but at the stage he wrote this I imagine he's almost in limbo, neither here nor there. He's considering exactly what he was, what he is, where he is and he's unsure of it all. this is not quite yet, not quite death. |

| i think this is one of their best! the beach boys were a great 80's band....i love the almost manic relentlessness of this song, especially as the song ends with the repetition of the questions. mad mike and mad brian at their finest! | |

| This is how I hear the lyrics. This song seems very much to be about life and the perspective we take on it. Avey loves to use nature as metaphor for all he writes about, which is where I think a lot of AC’s brilliance comes from them with their almost naive nature themes yet complex music structures. This song is no different. Hive-world, bees-us. Thus I think there is a spiritual element to this song as Avey has suffered some losses and battles in recent years, he no doubt has been down and this songs seems almost as though he’s resigned to certain things and the way of life. Almost an acceptance song with lines such as ‘you won’t go ‘why?’, simply saying not to question things, knowing that if he does good (‘fill up your heart’) things will work out (‘you’ll find everything inside the heart on top of the hive’). Also an interesting element to the song as another old trick of AC’s with the changing of words and lines based on their sound — think sports brother/support your brother etc. Each one of their bridges seem to get more trying, perhaps similar to how life gets more difficult with age. Going from ‘kicking mole hills’ to ‘kicking boulders’ to ‘can’t control us’. | |

This is how I hear the lyrics - Knows news Go go How many times do you say ‘I’m through with this’ and you mull it over? How many times do you say ‘I’m sticking to this’ and you pull it over? How many times do you say ‘I’m finished with this’ and it starts all over? How many times do you say ‘I’m moving to this’ but it won’t move over? How many times do you say ‘I’m through with this’ and you mull it over? How many times do you say ‘I’m sticking to this’ and you pull it over? How many times do you say ‘I’m finished with this’ but it starts all over? How many times do you say ‘I’m moving to this’ but it won’t move over? How many times do you say ‘I’ve had it today I’m just kicking mole hills?’ You’ve seen the other side of unused time, the numbest of feelings How many times do you say ‘I’m through with this’ and you mull it over? How many times do you say ‘I’m sticking to this’ and you pull it over? How many times do you say ‘I’m finished with this’ but it starts all over? How many times do you say ‘I’m moving to this’ but it won’t move over? How many times do you say ‘I’ve had it today I’m just kicking boulders’ You’ve seen the other side of unused time the numbest of feelings How many times do you wait but ‘nothing today the evening is over’ Summer’s gone and made a glowing line in your pretty brown eyes If you fill up your heart, it spills outside You’ll find everything inside the heart on top of the hive And you'll fly like a dog and you won’t go ‘why?’ Even all the impossible places you go in your life How many times do you say ‘I’ve had it today I just can’t control us?’ You’ve seen the other side of unused time the numbest of feelings How many times do you wait but ‘nothing today the evening is over’ Summer’s gone and made a glowing line in your pretty brown eyes If you fill up your heart, it spills outside You’ll find everything inside the heart on top of the hive And you fly a dog and you won’t go ‘why?’ Even all the impossible places you go when you’re alive If you fill up your heart it spills outside You’ll find everything inside the heart on top of the hive And you'll fly like a dog and you won't go ‘why?’ Even all the impossible places you go when you’re alive life life life If you fill up your heart, it spills outside You’ll find everything inside the heart on top of the hive And you'll fly like a dog and you won't go ‘why?’ Even all the impossible places you go when you’re alive live live live |
