´´Son, I'm 30 I only went with your mother cos she's dirty´´ "I saw the Happy Mondays on TV, and they reminded me of the Beatles in their 'Strawberry Fields' phase." Paul McCartney, 1990 Funny thing is that Paul was younger in 1990 than Noel is now. Or is it just funny and weird to me ?  I don´t know, that Paul from 90s, even 80s is like some old legend, I don´t see him as I see Noel now. It´s not like that he is looking old or anything, it´s just... shit, I don´t know how to explain Maybe it´s because so much happened in music between Beatles and 1990 and basically nothing (or almost nothing) happened since Oasis till now. |

Here she comes walking down the street
She's got something you would love to meet
It's her heart and her heart is black
Think of ice cream sliding into a crack
- Here Comes Alice by The Jesus and Mary Chain -

Nah, seriously, a contender has got to be:
"Over Bridges of Sighs
To rest my eyes in shades of green
Under Dreaming Spires
To Itchycoo Park, that's where I've been"

Now it looks as though they're here to stay."

"Look out, mama, there's a white boat coming up the river,
With a big red beacon, and a flag, and a man on the rail.
I think you better call John 'cause it don't look like they're here to deliver the mail."
Neil Young, for 'Powderfinger'

I hadn't thought about what my favourite Neil songs are before, but I guess Powderfinger would have to be up there. I don't know where the inspiration for it came from, but it's amazing the picture he paints. Even from just the three lines above, he establishes a setting, a narrative voice, a plot device, and introduces two other characters. Raw talent. |

The line "cause it don't look like they're here to deliver the mail" strikes me as being especially genious, because it has an almost sarcastic tone to it, while it is probably said rather sincerely in a tone of uncertainty, and as the ship gets closer, in a tone of absolute dread and with the realisation that shit is likely about to go down. I may be over analysing this, but that line makes me both laugh and feel depressed at the same time - not every song lyric does that, or at least not with such precision. |

"You're a law unto yourself, and we don't suffer dreamers.
But neither should you walk the earth alone.
So, with finger rolls and folding chairs and a volley of streamers,
We can be there for tweaks and repairs, should you come back home."

Perhaps a more controversial choice, but to me as a very young person when I first heard it as someone living in the UK who had only really had the education system reference Martin Luthur King, and even then in a context that made it seem as if institutional racism in the USA was a thing of the past, the opening words of Ice Cube from 'Straight Outta Compton' gave a uncompromising introduction to an alternative perspective from a group of young black men who had grown up experiencing very different lives to the narrative I had been taught. It and the remainder of that LP were one of the first indicators I had that life was certainly not the same for everyone, and that prejudice and racism were unfortunately still very much alive. Thirty years on and the situation appears to have stagnated or perhaps even regressed for many minorities....  |

All the lyrics written by Matt Berninger have something very common to Moz's.
Miserable and beauty at same time.
Sorrow found me when I was young
Sorrow waited, sorrow won
Sorrow, they put me on the pill
It's in my honey, it's in my milk
- Sorrow by The National -

Someone beat me to Supersonic
We've been crying now for much too long, now we're gonna dance to a different song, gonna scream and shout till my dying breath, i'm gonna smash it up till there's nothing left
Always loved that by the Damned

A witness to the slit wrist

Still in a room without a view"

"The gap that grows between our lives, the gap our parents never had.
Stop those thoughts, control your mind; replace the things that you despise.
'Oh, you're old', I hear you say. It doesn't mean that I don't care."

"Lippy kids on the corner again.
Lippy kids on the corner begin settling like crows.
Though I never perfected the simian stroll,
The cigarette senate was everything then.
Do they know those days are golden?
Build a rocket, boys!..."

"Well, he came home from the war
With a party in his head
And modified Brougham DeVille
And a pair of legs that opened up like butterfly wings
And a mad dog that wouldn't sit still"
