Hey kurticus, good point about the event thing.. For all we know, J could be singing about some guy he saw crawling under a table chasing some critter at a cafe or some other nonsense.. [img]images/smiles/converted/biggrin.gif[/img]

Who knows..? (J knows [img]images/smiles/converted/biggrin.gif[/img] )

[Anthony]

ok one that i always had problems with is Quicksand. is it "im living in a college realm" or is it "im living in a callous room", or what the #*%# ???

[Cloud9]

I think its a combination of Both: I’m living in a callous realm

Btw I Always thought that The Title was "Little Furry Things"
Funny that u can misread sometimes

[Javro]

unconfused now – bowie’s is "I’m closer to the Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowley’s uniform
Of imageryyyyyyyyyyyyy"

[maxini]

Here’s how I always heard it (haven’t listened to it just now though):

Bowie: I’m living in a silent film

J: I’m living in a college room

I was living in a college room when I first heard J’s version, so I totally could relate to that. Guess it could be "callous realm" instead though.

[Anthony]

we should just give up and go get a beer while we’re ahead.

[Javro]

I’m closer to the Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowley’s uniform
Of imagery
I’m living in a silent film
Portraying Himmler’s sacred realm
Of dream reality
I’m frightened by the total goal
Drawing to the ragged hole
And I ain’t got the power anymore
No I ain’t got the power anymore

I’m the twisted name on Garbo’s eyes
Living proof of Churchill’s lies
I’m destiny
I’m torn between the light and dark
Where others see their targets
Divine symmetry
Should I kiss the viper’s fang
Or herald loud the death of Man
I’m sinking in the quicksand of my thought
And I ain’t got the power anymore

Don’t believe in yourself
Don’t deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death’s release

I’m not a prophet or a stone age man
Just a mortal with the potential of a superman
I’m living on
I’m tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien
Can’t take my eyes from the great salvation
Of bullshit faith
If I don’t explain what you ought to know
You can tell me all about it
On the next Bardo
I’m sinking in the quicksand of my thought
And I ain’t got the power anymore

Don’t believe in yourself
Don’t deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death’s release

[maxini]

Alright, that’s how Bowie sings it, way to go Javro. Now, someone mentioned beer …

[Anthony]

that is TOTALLY not the way J sings it

[Anthony]

ok, ‘Not You Again’. thought of the blond today? or thought of the blob today ?

that tune rules

[maxini]

Hell no, but I’m going out for that beer now, you guys figure it out while I’m away .. [img]images/smiles/converted/wink.gif[/img]

[maxini]

Eh, my last post was in response to ..

About the blond/blob issue, I can’t really picture J singing specifically about blonds, but God knows. Blob though? Hmmm, see my signature …

[bob]

I’m sure it blob. It could be an inside joke. About a fat chick that likes him or something.

[rosa]

You guys are too funny….I think you’re reading way too much into the "blob" thing…I think it’s just a reference to the Blob, you know, from the Steve McQueen movie of the same name.

& for what it’s worth, I always thought it was "carless realm", especially because he later asks, "should I leave the engine on?"

just my 2c….that’s how I’ve always sung it.

freshly unemployed & posting way too much,
Rosa
