| The Velvet Underground – Venus in Furs Lyrics
| 23 years ago
|
I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears
...the greatest stanza ever written by the velvets....by anyone for that matter...i find this song as a definition for so much in my life...mainly because an order follows a choice and i just get pissed off about it...why should i care what others want...why should i care what i want...perception is a blackhole...wdc

| The Velvet Underground – Stephanie Says Lyrics
| 23 years ago
|
...stephanie, ah the sweet girl with nothing to offer to the circle of affection...as the song reveals, we get a picture of her as some sort of doormat, welcoming the others to the final destination...obviously not with her...through her work she's grown tired and unforgiving and while nothing strikes her as important she does feel loneliness under her skin...by accepting death she's describing life as complete and fulfilled. this not only sets the tone for her winter aroma but also pushes others back...in all probability she'll either die of an overdosage or continue despising the human flaw so best described with her own face...and as for the historical facts of the girl...do we need to know who 'julia' is to feel sympathy for john lennon?...wdc
Why she's given half her life
to people she hates now
when answering the phone (answering the phone)
What country shall I say is calling
from across the world
But she's not afraid to die
the people all call her Alaska
Between worlds so the people ask her

...very true fishman...the first disc 'sister ray' is probably the best version available with the smooth ass intro...now if only their 66-68 shit was recorded...the velvets lost so much when john cale got booted...even though lou does the lyrics i always think of cale and tucker before lou and sterling when i hear about vu...wdc |

...thank you flamer...but although its a good song to scream at those morons who get their kicks of 4 second drum/bass tape loops it also a higher shot at the culprit of this whole teen-bop bs that i expect will die when old navy goes out of business (checking outside window to the mall)...nope, looks like a flock of em are going in there now...i'm out like new kids on the block, the monkees, all41, and those damn pricks so called 'weezer'...(pinkerton is my only exception)...wdc |

| The Beatles – Julia Lyrics

|
...the first line always bothered me...as for the yoko reference, what i get from it is he wants to take his love for his mother and give it all to yoko...that he sees his mother in yoko and giving up would be like losing his mother again...only from misery could such beauty unfold...wdc |

...if i recall corectly BJW was a hotel but nevertheless...this song is trippy as hell but you have to admit its watered down and was a pathetic attempt at capturing the listener's mind...leave george to the folk pop shit...john is as psychedelic as they come...wdc |

| The Beatles – Happiness Is a Warm Gun Lyrics

|
|
...obvious heroin references mixed in with perversion and the misplacement of affection...you must remember where john was in life when he wrote this bitter piece of shit song...its not funny, its depressive ramble of a soon-to-be junky, making a song to justify his actions..."heroin is a way of life"- william s. burroughs...now love, that's a whole other story...wdc (notice the chamelon reference as well...ie...the feminine illusion) |

...this song has never grown old on me but it grown with me...the meaning gives me this hope of nothing (the kind you get off watching fight club)...its become a sort of a chant to get the hell up and beat what's killing you are you'll get used to it...i turn up the volume everytime and scream my guts out. especially the 'jim-jim' line through 'and all the bodies piled up in mounds'...this is one of the greatest songs ever made for one reason, the sound fits the mood...and yet you don't see it on those damn vh1 lists...wdc |

...i've lived this song so many times after those saturday nights out getting warped out of your mind...the buzz slowly wears off and you're getting this splitting headache from too many drinks...watching your parents go to church while you slowly sneak your way to the room to pass out...lou reed described it as feeling like dracula...but schizophrenia is another piece to the puzzle...wdc |
