92. Fantastic Voyage by Bowie.

In the event
that this fantastic voyage
Should turn to erosion
and we never get old
Remember it's true, dignity is valuable
But our lives are valuable too

We're learning to live with somebody's depression
And I don't want to live with somebody's depression
We'll get by, I suppose
It's a very modern world,
but nobody's perfect

It's a moving world,
but that's no reason
To shoot some of those missiles
Think of us as fatherless scum
It won't be forgotten
'Cause we'll never say anything nice again, will we?

And the wrong words make you listen
In this criminal world
Remember it's true, loyalty is valuable
But our lives are valuable too

We're learning to live with somebody's depression
And I don't want to live with somebody's depression
We'll get by I suppose
But any sudden movement I've got to write it down
They wipe out an entire race and I've got to write it down
But I'm still getting educated but I've got to write it down
And it won't be forgotten
'Cause I'll never say anything nice again, how can I?

The Mekons - Only Darkness Has the Power

kornrulez6969, Friday, 11 November 2016 20:16 (nine years ago)

Btw the opening lines for Idiot Wind seems so oddly on point:

Someone’s got it in for me, they’re planting stories in the press

Whoever it is I wish they’d cut it out but when they will I can only guess

They say I shot a man named Gray and took his wife to Italy

She inherited a million bucks and when she died it came to me

I can’t help it if I’m lucky

No longer active (Moka), Friday, 11 November 2016 20:22 (nine years ago)

If it was released today everybody would think it was about Trump.

No longer active (Moka), Friday, 11 November 2016 20:23 (nine years ago)

I'd add Young Thug's Harambe because we all know how much trumps angsty young male supporters love memes

Nick Drake - Day Is Done

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rsSEsJbbxY

When the game's been fought
Newspaper blown across the court
Lost much sooner than you would have thought
Now the game’s been fought

When the party's through
Seems so very sad for you
Didn’t do the things you meant to do
Now there's no time to start anew
Now the party's through

When the day is done
Down to earth then sinks the sun
Along with everything that was lost and won
When the day is done

Million Dollar Loan - Death Cab For Cutie

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XE0nOfTA3pY

His enemies can't contain the flames of jealousy
With brutish charm the women flock to be on his arm
Because it's a sign of weakness to apologize
And he counter sues from any corner he's backed into

Widows, an antique replacement
A briefcase filled with mace
Widows six legged lost and found
Students spray the Kent State mist
Wishing wills missing clientele
Widows sex legged lost and found

Parkas worn in summer apparel
Sweat lodge comatose of broken arrows

Widows veiled in rebound sheets
This is the ghost of a chance the lonely
widows sex legged lost and found
Precision watch the scalpel make roads
Hear them talk in paranoid parables
Widows sex legged lost and found

Storefront chairmans fingering buttons
This running of the bulls will trample all the life support systems

Madrid Space Station Spain
E Space E Space
Flesh versus machine
Matador chase the bull in a china shop

Gored my neck, don't spare me death
I'm running circles red cape paper
Taste the vapor

Matador chase the bull in a china shop
