RE: Lyrics

["Alastair Tweedie" <atweedie@66...com>]

The Applicant (c/o Sylvia Plath)...

First, are you our sort of a person?
Do you wear
A glass eye, false teeth or a crutch,
A brace or a hook,
Rubber breasts or a rubber crotch,

Stitches to show something's missing? No, no? Then
How can we give you a thing?
Stop crying.
Open your hand.
Empty? Empty. Here is a hand

To fill it and willing
To bring teacups and roll away headaches
And do whatever you tell it.
Will you marry it?
It is guaranteed

To thumb shut your eyes at the end
And dissolve of sorrow.
We make new stock from the salt.
I notice you are stark naked.
How about this suit----

Black and stiff, but not a bad fit.
Will you marry it?
It is waterproof, shatterproof, proof
Against fire and bombs through the roof.
Believe me, they'll bury you in it.

Now your head, excuse me, is empty.
I have the ticket for that.
Come here, sweetie, out of the closet.
Well, what do you think of that ?
Naked as paper to start

But in twenty-five years she'll be silver,
In fifty, gold.
A living doll, everywhere you look.
It can sew, it can cook,
It can talk, talk , talk.

It works, there is nothing wrong with it.
You have a hole, it's a poultice.
You have an eye, it's an image.
My boy, it's your last resort.
Will you marry it, marry it, marry it.

Subject: Re: [Blueplanes] Lyrics

If everyone on this forum wrote out the lyrics to just one song each  
you could have all the lyrics to all the songs in about 5 minutes!  
Then they are all here for us to share too. Someone could even gather  
them up and put them on the lyrics sites on the web. Shouldn't be too  
hard to organise. Here's my contribution to kick things off:

Song: What It Is
Album: Swagger

Watch these hands
Watch what they're doing
What is it?
They float around the neck like nervous birds
They circle the waist like sly torpedoes
Then they hike into the interior
You know how it is
You can be your enemy
Turns a sideways figure of eight
Oh we've each got our positions in this exchange of views
This oratory, this debate
You know, I think one of us should drink the other to tears

Well alcohol it composes to water
You know there's not much to it
The last part was nothing less than the same as the first
Your dark eyes, your blue eyes
Your dark eyes, your blue eyes
Oh memory's a house under rain
The morning was bright
I met your train
A haze of perception brought buildings closer and sounds from further  
away
I watched a kiss on private ground
And a phone box demolished by mistake

Just watch it explode

Yeah I know, I know, I know
He doesn't want you to speak
He's not sure if he even wants you to breathe
And if he says you're not gonna last a week without him
It's only what he wants you to believe
These lovers
You ask them to go, they won't come back
You ask them to stay, they won't go away
The morning was evening, train was a bus, it was dull, dull, dull
You've got something to tell me?
I can taste it
I can taste it
I know what it is

My cds a re back in England (I'm based in Switzerland!) and I only  
have the songs on my laptop and ipod. I remember the lyrics were  
printed on Swagger. Maybe you can double check these just to make  
sure I didn't mis-hear anything!

BTW you should find the applicant easily on the web as it is a well  
know poem by someone else

Chris
