Bad boy

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel it
As every fairy tale comes real I
I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So so many things I could've done
But clouds

Angeldust Gets in your eyes your hair
On acid stars your getting there
My bodys assembled into
A little itty bitty gift to you
When you die i've looked at life that way

But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
So so don't let them inside, don't let them know
Don't give yourself ohh away

But now my friends are acting strange
They shake their heads man they say I've changed well
Well something's lost rearranged
From living every every every I've

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
I'ts just illusions I recall

I really don't know i really don't know
I really don't know i really don't know
I really don't i really don't clouds at all
Why are we here...terrified terrified wow

    General Comment:Even though I grew up listening to grunge bands, I like the Joni Mitchell version, "Both Sides Now," a lot better. There's an incredible poetry in the song that really tugs at the heart. I think you have to have some years under you though to really appreciate it. I'm approaching thirty now, and I personally identify with the first few stanzas that speak to the passing of childhood and the loss of innocent wonder and naivete. I imagine the later sections of the song about love and life will resonate more when I'm older.

    General Comment:Dudes, this is a Joni Mitchell song. that scared me. I heard the Mitchell version a while after the Hole version. And it really impressed me, cause it was a fuckin hippy song and they made it so good!
