i have to admit that i am having a hrd time making heads and tails of the new cat power cd in terms of what the lyrics mean, i'm the kind of guy who likes to have a feeling of what's going on. especially as i sing along in the car to the songs i'm currently obsessed by.
the lyrics to 'the greatest' are like this...
Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind of waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars of night turned deep to dust
Melt me down
Into big black armour
Leave no trace of grace
Just in your honour
Lower me down
To culprit south
Make 'em wash a space in town
For the lead
And the dregs of my bed
I've been sleepin'
Lower me down
Pin me in
Secure the grounds
For the later parade
Once I wanted to be the greatest
Two fists of solid rock
With brains that could explain
Any feeling
Lower me down
Pin me in
Secure the grounds
For the lead
And the dregs of my bed
I've been sleepin'
For the later parade
Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind of waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars of night turned deep to dust
what the? but the sad fact is i can't stop listening to this song. the signature chan marshall vocals kill me...and there's always this shy confindence, if there is such a thing.i saw her years and years ago at bumbershoot in seattle with mishi. anyhow. i love this record.
