supergrass

10.07

yay
Since they ain't pushing an album, I think we might get an even better set then last time. Which could really be something.
Now, are these the T Rex wannabes, or is that the "supersomethingelse" band?

No these are more like T.Rex than the super furry animals.

dont you think everyone is like T.rex or radiohead though?

I think you're confusing me with Rhett, who also thinks every shite band (aka bands he likes) are alt-country.

Actually, it's was someone else who told me they sounded like T Rex so I should give them a listen. I'm dying to go to a show so now scraping the barrel for ANYTHING that might work.

Try the Dandy Warhols. You would need an open mind to like them, but they are pretty good.

Supergrass normally put on a good show too. You must know most of their singles?

there is always the pistols…….

I'm not sure I'm getting the Dandy Warhols love on the boards. I listened to snippets of earlier songs from their website; they seem pretty quirky. Obviously I'm missing something?

I don't think I can do it….I really don't. Like an ex-lover, just remember the good times and let it be!

listen to bohemian like you and godless from 13 tales from urban bohemia. Then try the new album, welcome to the monkey house. The new album takes a while to get its hooks into you.

Come on, one last fandango. You will enjoy it at the time, but afterward you will get all bitter and realise why you had stayed away for so long before.
Dandy Warhols are the Duran Duran of the 2000's. Dumb, vapid lyrics, very catchy singles, and lots of fluffy album filler. I don't think the singer is nearly as cute as Simon, but the keyboard player gives Nick a run for the money in terms of femininity quotient.

I think you are mistaken.

I think this is pretty smart:

you've got a great car,
Yeah, what's wrong with it today?
I used to have one too,
Maybe you'll come and have a look.
I really love your hairdo,yeah,
I'm glad you like my do,
See we're looking pretty cool, getcha.

So what do you do?
Oh yeah i wait tables too.
No i haven't heard your band,
Cause you guys are pretty new.
But if you dig on vegan food,
Well come over to my work,
I'll have them cook you something that you'll really love,

Cause i like you,
Yeah, i like you,
And i'm feelin so bohemian like you,
Yeah, i like you,
Yeah, i like you,
And i feel wahoo, wooo

Wohoo hoo hoo x4

Wait,
Who's that guy,
Just hanging at your pad.
He's looking kinda blah,
Yeah, you broke up that's too bad.
I guess its fair if he always pays the rent,
And he doesn't get bent about sleeping on the couch when i'm there,

Cause i like you,
Yeah i like you,
And i'm feeling so bohemian like you.
Yeah i like you,
Yeah i like you,
And i feel wahoo, woooo
Wohoo hoo hoo x4

I'm getting wise,
And i'm feeling so bohemian like you,
It's you that i want so please,
Just a causal, casual easy thing.
It isn't? it is for me.
And i like you,
Yeah i like you,
And i like you, i like you, i like you, i like you, i like you, i like you
I like you.
And i feel wahoo, woooo
Wohoo hoo hoo x4
The Reflex

(words and Music Duran Duran)



You gone too far this time

But I'm dancing on the valentine

I tell you somebody's fooling around -

With my chances on the dangerline

I'll cross that bridge when I find it

Another day to make my stand, oh..

High time is no time for deciding

If I should find a helping hand, oh..





So why don't you use it

Try not to bruse it

Buy time don't lose it





(chorus)



The reflex is an only child, he's waiting in the park

The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark

And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre

Every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a

question mark





I'm on a ride and I want to get off

But they won't slow down the roundabout

I sold the renoir and the TV set

Don't want to be around when this gets out



(chorus) (chorus)



The reflex is an only child, he's waiting by the park

The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark

And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre

Every little thing the reflex does is an answer with a

question mark



(chorus) (chorus)



The reflex is an only child, he's waiting by the park

The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark

And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre

Every little thing the reflex does leaves me answered with a

question mark



Oh, the reflex what a game he's hiding all the cards

The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark

And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre

Every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a

question mark
Are you trying to shoot down your own point?

the Dandys song is a scathing attack on hipsters and the music scene. The Dura Duran song is a collection of phrases with no apparent meaning that only occassionally rhyme. It is nonsense.
a song that is about hipsters and the music scene seems like a pretty vapid topic to me, even if it is skewering it. My point was BOTH are vapid.
and aint this one brilliant…hmmm is it duran duran, or dandy warhols? very, very inciteful

A long time ago
We used to be friends but I
Haven't thought of you lately at all
If ever again A greeting I send to you
Short and sweet to the soul I intend
Hoho ohohoh Hoho ohohoh Hoho ohohoh Hoho ohohoh
Come on now honey
Bring it on bring it on yeah
Just remember me when
You're good to go
Come on now sugar
Bring it on bring it on yeah
Just remember me when

It's something I said
Or someone I know
Or you called me up
Maybe I wasn't home
Now everybody needs some time
And everybody knows
The rest of it's fine
And everybody knows now
Come on now sugar
Bring it on bring it on yeah
Just remember me when
You're good to go
Come on now honey
Bring it on bring it on yeah
Just remember me when
We used to be friends
A long time ago
We used to be friends
A long time ago
We used to be friends
A long time ago
We used to be friends
Yeeeeeaaaaahhhhhh
Eeeeaaaahhhhhh
Hoho ohohoh Hoho ohohoh Hoho ohohoh Hoho ohohoh
A long time ago
We used to be friends but I
Haven't thought of you lately at all
If ever again A greeting I send to you
Short and sweet to the soul I intend

We used to be friends
A long time ago
We used to be friends
A long time ago
We used to be friends
A long time ago

Hoho ohohoh Hoho ohohohHoho ohohoh Hoho ohohoh
No Rhett, you're right.

This is so much better:

This is what I do this is what I do
Jennifer 1 was a racehorse-rider Heidi was a house on fire
Bernadette kept a distance we got tangled up in telephone wire
I'm gonna sing this song forever about a girl that I once knew
And how she is always leaving this is what I do
This is what I do for a living this is what I do
In another life I was a holy roller in another lifetime I flew
I have always kept a distance this is what I do
This is what I do for a living this is what I do
This is what I do this is what I do
Every one of us has a secret rhythm beating like a drum
All of us have a albatross and this is my one
This is what I do for a living this is what I do
I could hide it in the attic I could bury it in static
I could only put it out in Japan
I could tape my mouth closed I could take another dose
I am dancing as fast as I can
This is what I do for a living this is what I do
This is what I do this is what I do
Now this…is a wordsmith at work…NOT!

I need a camera
To my eye
To my eye reminding
Which lies I been hiding
?
Iâ??ve counted out
Just to see how far
Iâ??ve driven in the dark
It echoes in my heart
For my family
Tell â??em Iâ??m lost on the sidewalk
And, no, itâ??s not okay
I smashed a camera
I want to know why
To my eye
Deciding which lies that I been hiding
Which _ _ belong
Iâ??m counting on
My _ _
To walk me through this war
Whenever wounds get stored
For my family
Tell â??em Iâ??m lost on the sidewalk
And, no, itâ??s not okay
Iâ??m counted out
But no one knows how far
Iâ??ve driven in the dark
It echoes in my heart
For my family
Tell â??em Iâ??m lost, yeah, Iâ??m lost
And, no, itâ??s not okay
And, no, itâ??s not okay
And, no, itâ??s not okay
