| Bob Dylan – Every Grain of Sand Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I agree completely with RayMan. Am am generally an agnostic and sometimes an atheist, but this song brings me to tears almost every time I hear it. If ever I could be convinced that their is a Sentient Divinity it would be through Dylan's words and voice. With this song leading the argument. It is, in my opinion, Bob at this best. Which says a lot, since he is a master. Quite simply one of the most moving songs I know. I am consistently moved by it. |

| Jethro Tull – Bungle In The Jungle Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
If there is anything gay in this song, I'm not seeing it. I've always viewed this song as a modernized version of something William Blake would have written. If it was mentioned above, forgive my repetitiveness. But I must mention that there is plenty of reference to William Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience here. Tyger! Tyger! burning bright, In the forests of the night: What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry? In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes! On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand, dare seize the fire? And what shoulder, and what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand? And what dread feet? What the hammer? What the chain, In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? What dread grasp, Dare its deadly terrors clasp? When the stars threw down their spears And watered heaven with their tears: Did he smile, his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb make thee? Tyger! Tyger! burning bright, In the forests of the night: What immortal hand or eye, Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

| Concrete Blonde – Everybody Knows (Leonard Cohen cover) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is originally a Leonard Cohen song. And it's not about cocaine, specifically. It is about cynicism and naivety, pessimism and idealism. Everybody knows the dice are loaded...that's how it goes. Everybody knows. |
