REM - Living Well is the Best Revenge

 

It's only when your poison spins into the life you'd hoped to live

That suddenly you wake up in a shaking panic - wow!

You set me up like a lamb to slaughter

Garbo as a farmer's daughter

Unbelievable, the gospel according to who?

I lay right down.

 

All your sad and lost apostles hum my name and flare their nostrils

Choking on the bones you toss to them

Well I'm not one to sit and spin

'Cause living well's the best revenge

Baby, I am calling you on that

 

Don't turn your talking points on me, history will set me free

The future's ours and you don't even read the footnote now!

So who's chasing you? Where did you go?

You disappeared mid-sentence

In a judgement crisis I see my anecdote for it

You weakened shell.

 

All your sad and lost apostles hum my name and flare their nostrils

Choking on the bones you toss to them

Well I'm not one to sit and spin

'Cause living well's the best revenge

Baby, I am calling you on that

 

You savour your dying breath

Well, I forgive but I don't forget

You work it out, let's hear that argument again

Camera three... GO NOW!

 

All your sad and lost apostles hum my name and flare their nostrils

Choking on the bones you toss to them

Well I'm not one to sit and spin

'Cause living well's the best revenge

Baby, I am calling you on that

Baby, I am calling you on that

Baby, I am calling you on

New Order - Leave Me Alone

 

https://youtu.be/JEJpmDUMKco

 

On a thousand islands in the sea

I see a thousand people just like me

A hundred unions in the snow

I watch them walking, falling in a row

We live always underground

It's going to be so quiet in here tonight

A thousand islands in the sea

It's a shame

 

And a hundred years ago

A sailor trod this ground I stood upon

Take me away everyone

When it hurts thou

 

From my head to my toes

From the words in the book

I see a vision that would bring me luck

From my head to my toes

To my teeth, through my nose

You get these words wrong

You get these words wrong

Everytime

You get these words wrong

I just smile

 

But from my head to my toes

From my knees to my eyes

Everytime I watch the sky

For these last few days leave me alone

But for these last few days leave me alone

Leave me alone

Leave me alone

Replacements - Left of the Dial

 

https://youtu.be/J004aQUKbO4

 

Read about your band in some local page

Didn't mention your name, didn't mention your name

Sweet Georgia breezes, safe, cool and warm

I headed up north, you headed north

 

On and on and on and on

What side are you on?

On and on and on and on

What side are you on?

 

Weary voice that's laughin', on the radio once

We sounded drunk, never made it on

Passin' through and it's late, the station started to fade

Picked another one up in the very next state

 

On and on and on and on

What side are you on?

On and on and on and on and...

 

Pretty girl keep growin' up, playin' make-up, wearin' guitar

Growin' old in a bar, ya grow old in a bar

Headed out to San Francisco, definitely not L.A.

Didn't mention your name, didn't mention your name

 

And if I don't see ya, in a long, long while

I'll try to find you

[[Lo...]]

I love Bruce's "Dancing in the Dark". Felt such an adrenaline rush when I heard it first.  Used to play it on my keys and still do sometimes.

 

 

Bruce Springsteen - Streets of Philadelphia

Me too!

 

Here's one for you LF2015 as a birdie told me you love this band. This is my favorite song of theirs and lucky me I saw them in concert 5 times over the years.

 

Hang Fire

 

 

I like these verses the best. It makes me laugh.

 

You know marrying money is a full time job

I don't need the aggravation

I'm a lazy slob

[[Lo...]]

Never heard of that one. Thanks. Very underrated song, I must say

 

Kind of a sister tune here that I listened a lot to in my 20's. I think it drives the meaning home even more than it did back then.

 

 

This song appeared on The Pixies 1990 album Bossanova. The lead singer Black Francis has stated that it is a tribute to the Talking Heads. The song is about searching for what drives you in life. In both verses we meet an old woman and an old man. They are described as old to denote wisdom and experience. The singer sees the old woman digging and asks her if she is "looking for the mother lode", which he envisions as gold, riches or wealth in some form. She replies that she is "digging for fire". Fire in this context symbolizes a burning desire or passion for something, and the old woman is trying to find her passion. Literally digging for fire would be very difficult, which is to say that searching for your true passion in life is also not any easy task.

 

The second verse describes an old man on the beach, presumably living a life that the singer covets. He is also searching for something on the beach, possibly with a metal detector. Francis also asks this old man if he is searching for wealth and riches, to which he replies, "no my child, this is not my desire" and that he is also digging for life's passion, that rare and nearly unattainable thing in life that drives you along and brings you true happiness. The song is a testament to the worth of intangible emotions and well being as opposed to material possessions.

Curiously, though, the first Stevie Nicks song I ever heard was "Rooms on Fire", back in 1989. The song immediately clicked with me, but I thought of it as an unrequted love song. Didn't quite realize there was much more to it. Both the song and the video kind of had some sort of cryptic meaning to it I wasn't quite able to decipher, but it sure makes sense now. 

 

All in all, it seemed like an unusually introspective song for a pop hit.   

 

Love that little Spanish Guitar tidbit in it. Sometimes, less is more....
