It's coming around again
They're letting it out again, again X4
When it comes, it comes abrupt
And it feels, it feels like trading brains with an imbecile
For real
Yes I feel emphatic about not being static
And not buying philosophies that are sold to me, no, at a steal
Just when you thought, it was safe to think
In comes mental piracy, and NO
What I'm looking for (for)
Can not be sold to me
I wish they all would stop trying
Cuz what I want, and what I need, is and will always BE FREE
It's coming around again
They're letting it out again, again X2
When it comes, it comes unannounced
And it feels like a matador is taunting me with his reddest red cloth
And I am the bull
Yes I feel emphatic about not being static
And not eating the bullshit that's being fed to me
Cuz now I'm full
Just when you thought, it was safe to think
In comes mental piracy, and NO!
What I'm looking for (for)
Can not be sold to me
I wish they all would stop trying
Cuz what I want, and what I need, is and will always BE FREE

It was one of my favourite songs during my teenage years
Yas, I see why you re-remember this song. It is amazing how music brings to our remembrance those things that have meaning for us. I know you have been through some tough times recently and I hope you continue to share your thoughts and experiences with us. Thanks for expressing how you feel through music. The Cs say "Music is Good". I don't know why I have been slow to pick up on their thoughts but I do see that there are messages and support in music that can not come home to us quite as clear as other mediums. Yes, they are letting it out again but this time so are we, and NO. May you freely find the support you need on the forum. :)
Thanks gotacobol. For me, this song was more about my irritation towards school and the lies they taught me there... :P

Oh! I also loved this one. For me, it was some sort of WAKE UP music. You know, you just see all your peers doing silly stuff and playing mindless games while you know there's much more. In my case, I was really concerned about the situation on the world, I wasn't 23 yet, so it was quite an immature concern maybe. But I was just fed up of my classmates being so indifferent and all that. So this song was good for expressing that and I loved it when they say "AND RISE ABOVE THE FLAMES". Because their saying that even if you've got this fed up feeling, it's like the process of leaving that insanity behind and rising as a new person...

S.C.I.E.N.C.E has some great songs, yeah! :D
I also haven't heard them for a while and I didn't like their new stuff so I don't really follow them anymore. I still think some of their old lyrics are really insipiring as you can see... ;D
Here's another one that (for me) talks about being your own master and driving yourself through life.

MusicMan,
I always liked that song too. I only remember Anne Murray's version but I like Liv's voice too. Here is Anne Murray's version with some nice snowy pictures. Just get out your skis and snowshoes and enjoy. We could try flapping our "butterfly wings" too I guess... :P

Here's an "Oldie" that I listen to and like to improvise along with. For me it still seems to say some relevant things.
This is originally by Marvin Gaye What's Going On from the 70s-80s

Yeah, I agree their first few albums were great but they kind of went off the rails a bit after Morning View IMO
I was always partial to The Warmth. Great track, there is a language warning on this one though!
"The Warmth"
I'd like to close my eyes and go numb
But there's a cold wind coming from
The top of the highest high rise today
Its not a breeze cuz it blows hard
Yes and it wants me to discard
The humanity I know, watched the warmth blow away
So don't let the world bring you down
Not everyone here is that f@$#%d up and cold
Remember why you came and while you're alive
Experience the warmth before you grow old
So do you think I should adhere
To that pressing new frontier
And leave in my wake, a trail of fear
Should I hold my head up high
And throw a wrench and spokes by
I'm leaving the air behind me clear
So don't let the world bring you down
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold
Remember why you came and while you're alive
Experience the warmth before you grow old
So don't let the world bring you down
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold
Remember why you came and while you're alive
Experience the warmth before you grow old
Before you grow old

I still like Liv's version more than Anne Murray's, her voice was so unusual. While I was checking that out, I had a listen to the version from Elvis - not bad!
Both of them had great graphics, but snow is not my scene thanks, brrr.
Give me shorts and thongs any day..

Yeahhh... I know what I see this as referring to....
The Voice
It's almost a feeling you can touch in the air
You look all around you, but nobody's there
It's been a long time now since you've been aware
That somebody's watching you
He's gonna get you
Sooner or later when your big chances come
You'll look for the catches, but there'll be none
Remember before you grab the money and run
That someone is watching you
He's gonna get you.
Before you run and hide
He's gonna get you
You got no choice
'Cause you can't escape the voice
Jumping with shadows that come up from behind
You're scared of the darkness that's there in your mind
You're frightened to move because of what you might find
Someone is watching you
He's gonna get you.
Before you run and hide
He's gonna get you
You got no choice
'Cause you can't escape the voice

Been taking a trip down memory lane on my ipod in the car - I played in a band back in the 80's. So much good music after the doldrums of the mid 70's.
Psychedelic Furs: President Gas (as referenced later by Green Day)
So may great lines styled by Richard Butler's incredible husky, gravelly, murky voice.
My faves:
"Open up your eyes
Just to check that your asleep again
President gas is president gas again..."
"He comes in from the left sometimes
He comes in from the right"
"Every day is happy days
It's hell without the sin, but
Don't cry, don't do anything
No lies, back in the government
No tears, party time is here again
President gas is up for president"
and the hysterically funny
"President gas on everything but roller skates"
