Previous - this entry written on February 22, 2002 at 3:02 am - Next A lyrical survey sort-of stolen from Kenji... ...the idea is that you use lyrics from only one band (I fudged and used two, Portishead and Splashdown) to answer the questions: 1: Are you male or female? I'm so tired of playing, Playing with this bow and arrow, Gonna give my heart away, Leave it to the other girls to play. For I've been a tempteress too long, Give me a reason to love you, Give me a reason to be a woman, I just want to be a woman Portishead � Glory Box 2: Describe yourself: Please could you stop this feeling like you're misunderstood I know that what you've done you've done the best that you could You've backed yourself into a corner of yourself Another reason not to listen to everyone else Splashdown � I Understand Oh how i feel so good That i can hardly wait To hold you Enfold you Never enough Render your heart to me All mine, you have to be From that cloud, number nine Danger starts the sharp incline And such sad regrets Oh as those starry skies As they swiftly fall Make no mistake, You shan't escape Tethered and tied There's nowhere to hide from me All mine, you have to be So don't resist We shall exist Until the day Until the day, i die All mine You have to be Portishead � All Mine 3. How do you feel about yourself?: Be still my dear, my shadow's here to meet with me again Only to meet with me again My shadow's here to meet with me again Splashdown � Presumed Lost 4. How do you feel about life?: Who's at the center of the Wheel The inventor of the Wheel or another spinning servant I'm the Master of my Wheel of my very own Wheel Universal and recurrent I'm a slave of Karma Spin the Wheel and I'm a King reborn I'm a slave to Karma I'm coming back, yeah, I'll be coming back But for the last time Splashdown � Karma Slave After time the bitter taste, Of innocence disintegrates, Scattered seed, buried lives, Histories of our disguise, Reborn, Circumstance will decide Portishead � Sour Times 5. What would you rather be doing?: Cos I don't wanna lose What we had last time You're leaving This life ain't fair You don't get something for nothing, turn now Mmmm gotta try a little harder It could be sweet..... Portishead � It Could Be Sweet 6. Describe where you live: (before) So if your past approaches you Preaching comfort Don't be fooled into a war you'll lose And if it's silence that you fear Yet you pray the noise would Clear your mind, keep still and let the unknown Tear you from your thoughts and Set you free From the games you play. Splashdown � Games You Play (at present) Acceptance in respect to how you say your prayers. To one from whence we came who has no name. Acceptance in respect to how you live your life, For you and only you may bear your weight. Splashdown � Games You Play 7. Share a few words of wisdom: In a half lit world I'm frightened to believe But i must try If i stumble, if i fall I'm reaching out in this mourning air Have i got the strength to ask Beyond the window I feel this fear alone Until we have Total honesty Portishead � Mourning Air Hosted by Diaryland - All Rights Reserved - Image, Layout, and Content copyright Jax Raven - - Do Not Feed The Moose - |
