No One Knows My Plan
Put on your Red Shoes and Dance the Blues
Maybe I should play God, and shoot you myself
Bells and Footfalls and Soldiers and Dolls
In my Heart I did No Crime
God said to Abraham "Kill me a son"
My Alter Ego
"Official" Tori
He said "Hi," by the way

This topic is almost too easy when you're a Rage fan, especially if you're interested in what they (Zack) have to say.

I liked "No Shelter" a lot but couldn't get motivated enough to buy the Godzilla soundtrack and I can't find the lyrics anywhere online. *sigh* You'll just have to take my word for it. But "Revolver" is really good, it's just too bad that Zack is so mad that he doesn't enunciate for shit, so the only way I can figure out what he's saying is to go to lyric sites. Still. It's good. And it makes me want to pick a fight, which is, I guess, the point.

Revolver
Rage Against the Machine

His spit is worth more than her work
Pass tha purse to the pugilists
He's a prizefighter
He bought rings and he owns kin
And now he's swingin'
And now he's the champion
Hey revolver, don't mothers make
Good fathers ?
Revolver
A spotless domain
Hides festering hopes she's certain there's more
Pictures of fields without fences
Her body numbs as he approaches the door
Hey revolver, don't mothers make
Good fathers ?
Revolver


Now that's music that comes out of anger that I don't have to think about to get angry over. So I guess in a lot of instances it's idealism that can get to me and set me off. But here's a song I stumbled across some six years ago. I was at the Virgin Megastore on Picadilly Circus wasting time because I was going to go see Miss Saigon and didn't really have time to duck into a nearby museum. I had meant to get some singles that were only available here (the U.S. as imports) so I was scouring Tori, Bjork and PJ HArvey. I found a single on the cover of which PJ was kissing this man. Apparently the man is Nick Cave and CD had be placed under PJ Harvey rather than Nick Cave. Of course it only has three songs on it and the title track features PJ Harvey on lead vocal. It's really a neat song about "hell hath no fury...." and the rest of the Cd is neat too. For reasons I don't understand I haven't gone out to get the whole Murder Ballads album though I've been repeatedly told I'd like Nick Cave.

Henry Lee
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds with PJ Harvey

Get down, get down, little Henry Lee
And stay all night with me
You won't find a girl in this damn world
That will compare with me
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
I can't get down and I won't get down
And stay all night with thee
For the girl I have in that merry green land
I love far better than thee
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
She leaned herself against a fence
Just for a kiss or two
And with a little pen-knife held in her hand
She plugged him through and through
And the wind did roar and the wind did moan
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
Come take him by his lilly-white hands
Come take him by his feet
And throw him in this deep deep well
Which is more than one hundred feet
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
Lie there, lie there, little Henry Lee
Till the flesh drops from your bones
For the girl you have in that merry green land
Can wait forever for you to come home
And the wind did howl and the wind did moan
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
