Widowmaker Lyrics
As the predicate predicts, a swift ending to her presence
At six hundred miles an hour
A surprise attack, tora-tora kamikaze, no looking back.
A tactic of considerable power
My heart was in the right place at the wrong time again
and I had found my modesty.
"Everything not in the dumpster was otherwise tossed",
Her voice lacking sincerity
My heart was in the right place at the wrong time again
Minus three words we threw around and around and a why cant you in tang douplahnu?!
(A phone call is made at midnight that won’t let her fall asleep,
Her ringer's turned off but she can hear the answering machine)
Or walk over my dead body and you just may!
The ship is sinking I'm the captain, there's no escape!
If you want to get away you're gonna have to go through me!
This is the first song I heard by the Impossibles, and I still think it is their best
yuh! this song does rock.
the first one i ever heard too. is a great one.
"it's you plus me divided by inadequecy times my denial minus three words we threw around and around and a why cant you in tang douplahnu?!"
Geez, that's the best stuff right there. And reading them isn't nearly as good as hearing them turn from singing into screaming. It's obvious what this song's about, as most Impossibles songs are, but it's still great to listen to.
why are the impossibles so g'damn good? they've pretty much put every emotion that i've felt into a song...i've never been able to relate to anyone's songs more.
If you listen to the older version of the song, it is more clear what the singer says toward the end. He says: "...minus three words we threw around and around and uh why can't you jus- shut - up!" as aposed to "in Tang Douplahnu?!" It seems like the older one has less sylables, leading me to believe they may have changed the line, or maybe just made it incomprehendable screaming on pupouse to emphasize that he does care what she does anymore.
I thought I'd include that though this wasn't my first imposibles song, eight ball (<---awsome song!) was, I still think is one of their best.
