| Fairport Convention – Matty Groves Lyrics
| 1 year ago
|
I always want to hear more about the servant, who goes off to tell Lord Donald, but his story stops with this line: “And when he came to the broad millstream, he took off his shoes and he swam.”
I find it hard to believe that he just went swimming for fun, but that he drown while crossing the water and was unable to relay the message. Lord Donald just happened to get home in time, anyway. It raises the tragedy/body count by one. |

This has a riff that echos "Speed of Life" by David Bowie. Still original, but hinted. It also sounds like it was produced by Brian Eno. |

| Andy Williams – Butterfly Lyrics
| 2 years ago
|
This song came up in shuffle today and I did a double take when I heard the lyrics:
I love you so much I know what I'll do
I'm clippin' your wings, your flyin' is through
'Cause I'm crazy about you, you butterfly (ooh, ah)
The psychopath message is belied by the gentle trot of the music and melody. I know it was 1957 and times were very different, but didn't anyone say, "Andy, this song cute and all, but it is sung from the point of view of a raging lunatic?" |

These geezers were born in '52, '51, and 1942. Were they trying to be as young as punks in England at the time? Dave Vanian and Johnny Rotten were born in 1956, putting two punks square in the '50s. Police: suspect. |

Interesting contrast of two songs on All Mod Cons. In Mr. Clean, the protagonist is judging and having fantasies about fucking up a random stranger. While in Down in the Tube Station at Midnight, the protagonist is randomly victimized by brutal right-wing drunks |
