| Todd Snider – Prison Walls Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
simple song from the heart. just wtf is this publock? every other site in town has these lyrics!the nervous wrecks even omitted them in the cd, along with half the songs as is their custom.... here for your approval is: "Prison Walls" These prison walls, they're are cold and hard The fence is tall across the yard Locked away and what's so strange Is that I feel, God, I feel like nothing's changed The floor is cold, the blankets itch Three meals today though God, there's something that's rich Just some still dream, if nobody told me Me, I know that I was never free before I was never free far away Never free, disappear There's always someone so far away Well, I will always be in here late at night I think things through I try to think of ways to get to you I never can and what's so strange Is that I feel, God, I feel like nothing's changed Ten more months, they say I'm free But it makes no difference to me Locked you out so long ago Prison walls, prison walls, they're all I know Prison walls, prison walls, they're all I know |

| @[lawoma:30882] you write in 2012 but he explains in intro to: Al Stewart, Year Of The Cat, Royal Albert Hall, May 16 2015 = movie is Casablanca. astrology is Vietnamese. the story of the music is... an earworm planted by a bandmate. now i go in search of the explanation song meanings edited out from that live version from a few years before. personally i like the heroin theory until i hear different, and even then? | |

| Al Stewart – On The Border Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| @[hnryvk:30881] spot on bro. bless those republicans and damn Franco to hell. not sure which side stewart comes down on. that is why i came to this site. dummy me; will someone make it clear and say why. i'm thinking the arms are coming from africa (from franco) to his horrid rebels. ...and those country folk were born nazis weren't they? gads i always thought the best of stewart and thought he would have backed the republican anarchists. oh well another rocker angel god goes falling down to earth pants on fire in my humble opinion. maybe i will still play him on occasion and pretend not to suspect that which logic dictates me to believe. | |
| Jefferson Airplane – The House at Pooneil Corners Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| God bless Marty Balin; he died yesterday. God bless the Airplane, & the Starship. I got news: the revolution DID happen; we the survivors are the proof. The Woodstock nation was always a one at a time thing; a nation in a nation without leaders, always anarchic. This leads me to the line "Can't help but see the rhinoceros around us" which refers to Eugene Ionesco's play wherein the actors turn one by one into rhinos. In 1974 it was made into the the movie "Rhinoceros". Yeah, I know it's supposed to be about everyone becoming Nazis, but check out the cartoon on the back cover of the album Volunteers (and on the back cover, and the back cover of the booklet too, in the cd package). A prismatic ant gets bonked by a head, and is thereby turned into a head. It has the captions; "don't they outnumber us?", "thank you", and "you're welcome friend". Sorta like rhinoceros in reverse. One person at a time turned into new citizens of the Woodstock nation. By means of clear light doses of LSD the way I see it. I digress; Mary Balin and Paul Kantner were probably just singing about Ionesco's type of rhinoceroses (rhinoceri?). This song, "The House at Pooneil Corners", is actually a very sad song about nuclear war, and one we all desperately hope will never come true! | |

| Pink Floyd – Louder Than Words Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
i was listening to this for the first time following along. the lyrics are a bit different. before that, this is pink floyd's coda for sure. a mostly worldless one big song about life, death, living, and soul. the last few minutes have these lyrics that incorporate staying home by the fire, filled by desire, stoking the flame; and more: [Intro] [Verse 1] We bitch and we fight Diss each other on sight But this thing we do These times together Rain or shine or stormy weather This thing we do With world-weary grace We've taken our places We could curse it or nurse it and give it a name Or stay home by the fire, filled by desire Stoking the flame But we’re here for the ride [Hook 1] It's louder than words This thing that we do Louder than words The way it unfurls It's louder than words The sum of our parts The beat of our hearts Is louder than words Louder than words [Verse 2] The strings bend and slide As the hours glide by An old pair of shoes, your favorite blues Gonna tap out the rhythm Let's go with the flow, wherever it goes We're more than alive [Hook 2] It's louder than words This thing that we do Louder than words The way it unfurls It's louder than words The sum of our parts The beat of our hearts Is louder than words Louder than words Louder than words This thing they call soul Is there with a pulse Louder than words Louder than words [Guitar solo] [Outro] |
