On The Wire

Got any interesting thoughts on a set of lyrics? Any that don't involve the word "indeed"? Find yourself struggling to decipher all those obtuse references Von makes? Read "1959 And All That" and still no clearer? Nope, us neither. Postcards found lying in a skip around the back of the Chemists can be found here... Don't say you weren't warned.

I don't really know what the lyrics are about but I did use some of the imagery in my recent English essay ('Describe A Nightmare World'... dust erupting and all that).

I only recently discovered this song and I really like it so I made an "Extended Version". ENJOY!

Now the ground comes up too fast
Too fast to meet you
In clouds of dust erupting
Thick around your feet, be careful
In the rubble in waiting
Wall to wall where you tread
Now the quick and the dead and the same old
Fates come calling cards away
How do you think it came to pass you
By the hard way by desire
How do you think it came to pass you by?
On the wire

I don't sleep so I don't dream
So I don't wake up frightened
Everything is what it seems if
You look deep enough tonight and
See.....

On the wire
On the wire
On the wire
I will not fall

[repeat x4]
drugs, buildings and crumbling relationships.
What’s the difference between a buffalo and a bison?

line 5 is:

In the rubble in shrouds in waiting

[/pedant]
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"
