Song

[chalice]

Tangled Up In Blue by Bob Dylan.
His finest lyric imho.

[DL.]

Jewel - Angel Standing By


Followed by



Live and Let Die - Paul McCartney & Wings Played very LOUD

[J'Pol]

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me
For I must be traveling on now
There's too many places I've got to see

If I stay here with you girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change

Oh, and the bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows I can't change

Bye-bye babe, it's been sweet, love
'Though this feeling I can't change
But please don't take this so badly
'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame

But if I stay here with you girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change

Oh, and the bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows I can't change
Lord help me I can't change

Oh No, I can't change

I like the topic, hate to see it go so soon.

As for Pink Floyd, my favorite is "Comfortably Numb" except for the instrumental which ends the song. And I still want to know what "swollen hand blues" are all about. Some say masturbation, however that does not fit with "When I was a child I had a fever, my hands swelled up like two balloons".

I need some coffee.

Do you have all the lyrics for this Hobbes. Sometimes a warped mind like mine may see the meaning.

Californication - Chili Peppers

(not really a fan of theirs, but I like the song)

"When I was a child I had a fever, my hands swelled up like two balloons".

These are symptoms of Kawasaki's disease, tho' I don't know if that is the reference being made.

Comfortably Numb
Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?

Come on, now.
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I can't explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

Ok.
Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more --Aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working. Good.
That'll keep you going for the show.
Come on it's time to go.

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

The link: The Wall


5th line of song "Nobody Home"
lines 17 and 18 of song "Comfortably Numb"

The two lines may be unrelated but song on the album are so inter-related that I have always assumed some connection.

Anyway, don&#39;t waste too much time on this

JPaul,

How do you know about Kawasaki&#39;s disease? Such a rare condition. Did Waters think people would understand that reference. Damn, those guys were on drugs&#33;

Maybe, if Pink Floyd looked like this:


not, this:



Anyway, I am hijacking the thread so, lets us get back to:

What song would you like to die to?
