n this Home on Ice

 

Blue you radiant blue

I don't know how you can stand next to me

You you talk like a noose

And only confuse my perplexity

Now that I'm so sad and not quite right

I could dance all night

I could dance all night

 

Shake your rattle-snake skin

And become a part of society

Wait on down the highway

To see how far I'll come a-run a-run run running

All that we had salvaged from the fire

Was a waste of time

(But) what a waste of time

 

Should I trust all the rust that's on TV

The guests with some distaste they disagree

With quite a fashionable dispassion for the dispossessed under-stressed gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme

but I don't care if you don't like it or just don't see

 

Now that we fattened the cow

And set out to plow unknown enemies

"Wow!" shouts the startled crowd "Now now did you see what I did see?"

the ravaged cabbage drifts on dark red skies

and it looks so nice

gee it looks so nice

 

shout just let it on out

confusion becomes a philosophy

down we're reaching the town where we don't have to stand around and look over our shoulders

hell I never knew was what we made it

let's just take it slow IN THIS HOME ON ICE

[Radiohead]

They're ok, not really my thing, a little too happy for me.

 

 

Also, don't get disheartened that no one's paying attention to your thread, I try to get people into new bands too and no one pays attention either.

 

If it's not painfully mainstream music this crowd won't get into it.

[saturnine]

what a retarded band name

[Dan #2]

i downloaded three of their songs, i'll listen to them later

[running4home]

i listened to over and over again and i liked it

[Dan #3]

I won't listen to any band that has an exclamation point in thier name.

[borntohula]

not even: !!! <-- thats a real band.

[mrjones]

not even: !!! <-- thats a real band.

shit i was just going to say that.

[Dan #3]

Yes, even !!!.

[Ravenous megin-sane]

it makes me tap my toes. but not much more.

 

i like the lyrics though.

[Radiohead]

Ok, now that everyone's paying attention to this thred, how about some people pay attention to threads where I try and introduce bands? Only fair.

[Ravenous megin-sane]

yes, sir. ;)

[juanpe]

had never heard of them before... they are ok but dont feel very "enthusiastic" about them

[shade]

I won't listen to any band that has an exclamation point in thier name.

Godspeed You! Black Emporer... everyone has to listen to them.

Pas moi, d'accore?

[mrjones]

There's a video for Over and Over Again up on You Tube. Its old but this is the first time I've seen it. Its a pretty good video for what I think is the best song on the album.

 

[Quammy]

"Cigarettes" is a good song. I don't think it's on the album though.

'the skin of my yellow country teeth' is incredible, ive had it on repeat for days at a time.
