Do you think that a song Should be etched upon your heart? Would you like the muscle that pumps Your vital life Be reduced To a music box dancer She sings the song on an empty stomach And her veins are pumping You sit there and declare It's the song that speaks your heart Her sweat beads bleed for you Do you think that a song Should have a beginning Or an end A bridge or a gap A feel or a mood All of the records in L.A. Perch on the golden boys wall And here comes Mister Earthquake Are you ready for the fall Rock in Roll rest... In pieces... rest in... Pieces... fallen from the golden boys wall Rest in pieces... Each one I will cherish Like splinters in my side They remind me of the pain Of yesterday When records were in And vinyl was sin Do you think that a song Is worth something to somebody If it aint worth a thing to me Do you think that a song Should be eight minutes long 2 minutes throbbing 6 minutes sobbing And cut short for the radio Echo life... Echo art... Fade in... fade out... [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 05-05-2001).] |

I think that a song should last a whole life long, have plenty of soul a beat that ain't whole and an E minor flair with a bit of dare, reverb-heavy bass lyrics in your face, something to remember in the cold days of December! Thanks for the cool croonin' ride, Walt! Cor [This message has been edited by Corinne (edited 05-06-2001).] |

first, i would love for my heart to be a shaped box with a music dancer at the controls, as long as it the one you speak of here. second, i think a song should make you feel, like that of your poetry. third, as witnessed everyday by your shining joy once your ears are filled with music, i think that you are "somebody" and a song does mean something to "me." fourthly, 'cuz of # 3 i cant answer this one. i like your inquisitive thoughts  Echo life... Echo art... Fade in... fade out... |
