Julia's Song Lyrics
The means to an end
A sinful distress
Writing down meaningless words
Vaguely offhand so the rest of the band
Can learn from the bees and the birds
Concentrate businessman you
You haven't got long
Planets are ruling your heart
Stilettos and thighs may be burning your eyes
But it keeps you from falling apart
Heavy but generalised
Sordid and wet
Someone advised me to die
Blowing your mind 'cause you'll know what you'll find
When you're looking for things in the sky
Under the influence
Rotting our nerves
Cutting us off at the mains
Nearing the end with your grandmother's friend
Is something to do when it rains
Wow, some big howlers in the lyrics above. The actual lyrics are:-
A means to an end A sinful distress Of writing down meaningless words Vaguely off hand So the rest of the band Can learn from the bees and the birds Concentrate business man you, you haven't got long Planets are ruling your heart Stilletos and thighs may be burning your eyes But it keeps you from falling apart Heavy but generalized Sordid and wet Someone advised me to die Blowing your mind Cause you know what you'll find When you're looking for things in the sky Under the influence Rotting our nerves Cutting us off at the mains Nearing the end with your grandmother's friend Is something to do when it rains Something to do when it rains Something to do when it rains
One of my favorite tunes by these guys. Not totally sure what it means, but Andy did a great job vocally, one of finest early tracks.
I agree entirely - great song. Interestingly not written by Andy or Paul but by a woman called Julia Kneale, who was a member of The Id and who I believe was Andy's girlfriend at the time. Hence 'Julia's Song'.
Just adore this song, would love to know the meaning of it!
This song is about the superficiality of looks and lust which will inevitably fade away over time.
