I LOOOVE BNL.
Some current favourite lyrics from Maroon:
"I can't help anyone 'cause everyone's so cold
Everyone's so skeptical of everything they're told
And even I get sick of needing to be sold
Though it's only half a month away, the media's gone
An entertaining scandal broke today, but I can't move on
I'm haunted by a story and I do my best to tell it
Can't even give this stuff away, why would I sell it?
Everybody's laughing, while at me they point a finger
A world that loves its irony must hate the protest singer"
- from Helicopters
"You can't live your life in the baby seat
You've got to stand on your own
Don't admit defeat
He came down from his retreat
She saw him later on the street
He said "You are the only one
to recognize that I'm the son"
So she bent down and kissed his feet
And that night between the sheets she told him"
- from Baby Seat
"It goes like this, we have to choice
the minarets, the wailing voice
And vaguely Celtic music fills the air
We choose a foreigner to hate,
The new Iraq gets more irate
We really know nothing about them,
and no one cares
Aladdin and the forty thieves
Enhanced by brand new special effects
Saddam and his cow disease spiced up
With some gratuitous sex
A movie's made, a war is won
A low-speed chase, a smoking gun
Distracts us while the actor takes the stand"
- from Sell Sell Sell
And my favourite - the Hidden track
"Suddenly
Things become unsound
Stumbling
On the shaky ground
Given arrows to shoot tornados down
Shoot them down
To the ground
Saw a falling leaf
Good luck - jump to grab
Much to our surprise
A butterfly
And itÂ’s sunkeness
In duration
In duration
In our lives
Inside oursleves
A hidden sun
That burns and burns
Never does any harm to anyone
Shivering
Madly in the dark
Like an animal
Abandoned in the car park
Then she held me
And then she showed me
The beauty of
The human heart
Inside ourselves
A hidden sun
That burns and burns
Never does any harm to anyone
A hidden sun
That burns and burns
But never does any harm to anyone
Anyone
Oooh anyone
Hidden sun "
Hidden Sun
