Song of the Moment: Getaway

[96583UP]

These are good, ambiguous lyrics which aren't all that difficult to understand. I'd rather these than the photorealistic journal entries of S/T.

Lyrics that are unambiguous but difficult to understand are rewarding as well. It is inferior to be of the opinion that only songs with ambiguous lyrics that aren't all that difficult to understand are good songs.

[Jorge]

I thought he was saying "stranger things".

[Leatherhead]

Ed's delivery of the "It's alright!" is great, maybe my favorite parts of the song.

[buckeye24]

well I didn't go from lizards to dinosaurs but that makes sense.

The word "dinosaur" means "terrible lizard", but they're technically more closely related to birds. So eh... that's the bit where Ed is just like yeah.

I was on the same page as Harmless. I thought he was referring to dinosaurs and evolution, and it not being accepted by religions. When I was in first grade, I went to school and church. As a six year old I loved dinosaurs so I did my science project on them. At church, I remembering asking my youth pastor why the bible never talks about dinosaurs. He told me that if I was a true christian that I wouldn't believe in dinosaurs. That is the day I learned the meaning of the word 'bullshit'.

Jeff Ament has to be one of the most underappreciated bass players out there. I chose to post this in this thread, but it could really have been in the thread for any of these songs.

[Lounge Lizard]

I thought it's 'sacred days'

working lyrics

everyone’s a critic looking back up the river
every boat is leaking in this town
everybody is thinking they can all be delivered
sitting in a box like lost and found

but i found my place and it’s all right
we’re all searching for a better way
get this off my plate
it’s all right
I got my own way to believe

find a lighthouse in the dark stormy weather
we all could use a sedative right now
holy rollers sitting with their backs to the middle
(all alone and sinking ???)

and if you want to have to pray
it’s all right
we all be thinking with our different brain
get this off my plate
it’s all right
I got my own way to believe

it’s okay
sometimes you find yourself having to put all your faith in no faith
mine is mine and yours won’t take its place
now make your getaway

science says we’re making love like the lizards
try and say that fossils ain’t profound
silence says we’re not allowed to consider
silence says stand up sit down you’re out

But I found my place
and it’s all right
I’m bearing witness to some better things
get this off my plate
it’s all right
I’ve got my own way to believe

it’s okay
sometimes you find yourself being told to change your ways
there’s no way
mine is mine and yours won’t take its place
now make your getaway

it’s okay
sometimes you find yourself having to put all your faith in no faith
mine is mine and yours won’t take its place
now make your getaway
it’s okay
sometimes you find yourself being told to change your ways
for god’s sake
mine is mine and yours won’t take its place
now make your getaway

I think the holy roller lyric is

Holy rollers sitting with their backs to the middle
All they know that's sinking is the bow

Right, but I didn't say that. Neither is inferior.
