This is a little rushed and for that I apologize. I had written a post last Saturday, in a foul feel-sorry-for-myself mood, and set up lots of heavy metal youtube links to let the world know exactly how dark my mood was. This is why you should never immediately post a blog written in anger because a few days later you may cringe at the content and have to delete it as I have. So before my English Language exam I have glued a little bit of something together. I will be back on form next week I promise - Poet's Dishonour! ;-)
Back to pop music. I have my moments where a little bit of pop is ok. I love Pink and occasionally treat myself to a Now 906 or wherever they are up to now. But I feel pop music got left behind in my teens. Most music I listen to that locates itself in the charts is pop rock, because I like my drum beats and gruff, sexy male vocals.
Some of my favorite lyrics at the moment are fairly simplistic and yet they get all those diddy arm hairs standing on end. Also, the future ex Mrs McFleeca sings lead vocal! So here is a bit of the Foo’s for a Friday with accompanying lyrics so you can sing along!
Keep you in the darkYou know they all pretendKeep you in the darkAnd so it all began
Send in your skeletonsSing as their bones go marching in... againThe need you buried deepThe secrets that you keep are ever readyAre you ready?I'm finished making senseDone pleading ignoranceThat whole defense
Spinning infinity, boyThe wheel is spinning meIt's never-ending, never-endingSame old story
[Chorus (x2):]What if I say I'm not like the others?What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?You're the pretenderWhat if I say I will never surrender?
In time or so I'm toldI'm just another soul for sale... oh, wellThe page is out of printWe are not permanentWe're temporary, temporarySame old story
[Chorus x2]
I'm the voice inside your headYou refuse to hearI'm the face that you have to faceMirrored in your stareI'm what's left, I'm what's rightI'm the enemyI'm the hand that will take you downBring you to your knees
So who are you?Yeah, who are you?Yeah, who are you?Yeah, who are you?
Keep you in the darkYou know they all pretend
[Chorus x2]
[x2]What if I say I'm not like the others?(Keep you in the dark)What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?(You know they all... pretend)You're the pretenderWhat if I say I will never surrender?
So who are you?Yeah, who are you?Yeah, who are you?
