Lyrics, Arms

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 can't stand it!! These are the lyrics. The song was written for a girl he met at the Portland show. I should know...

Live your life in parallax
Live your life through a lens
Live your life in a wraith room
Or a Mercedes Benz

All signs say stay away
Throw a key and call her someday

Come feel the arms around you
Come feel the arms around
Gonna be the arms around you
Over the wisdon, feel is real, come feel

Throw away the underclasses
Throw your love under law
Everybody got locked and loaded
With the hammer drawn

Froze senseless; steal away
Throw a key and call her someday

Come feel the arms around you
Gonna be the arms around
Come feel the arms around you
Over the wisdom, feel is real, come feel

I can tell you exactly what it all means, if your really interested, but it's rather silly.

So like Still, the tune came first then he threw the lyrics on.

Thank you for clearing that up

@ blklce: thanks for the transcription. from having quick read & listen to the song your version all sounds entirely feasible :notworthy:

as for why the song was written, i'll leave that up to you to divulge. we sisters fans are obsessive in out quest for gossip, insider info and background stories, but we also know when to leave something private...

thanks for the lyrics anyway 8)

Note previous eyeroll...

Portland is full of dodgy darklings - and I've no doubt at all of the lengths to which they'll go, wherever they're from... :wink:

(PS to Sinnie - My technical difficulties have been surmounted - incoming shortly. :D )

Dear blklce, when you've said A, you gotta say B. :notworthy: :D

Maybe you could start by explaining what a wraith room is.
There have been better plans
But none that I could ever understand...

A wraith is a spirit... Described as something more substantial than a ghost. Liquor is often referred to as spirits, hence "Wraith room" is simply a bar, and is in fact where I met him...

It was me, and I didn't do anything to him... That's the problem, you always want what you can't have. Hint, "Throw your love under law." Pretty easy to figure out... I'm married.

Then you should have either divorced quickly or just cheat on your husband. :lol:
