Members ExplodingBoy Posted December 28, 2004 Members Share Posted December 28, 2004 In all seriousness, from a poetic and artistic standpoint, which of these lyrics is better in your opinion? Last night, in the moments my thoughts were adriftAnd coasting a terrace, approaching a riftThrough which I could spy several glimpses beneathOf the darkness the light from above could not reachI spied wings of reason, herself taking flightAnd upon yonder precipice saw her alightAnd glared back at me one last look of dismayAs if she were the last one she thought I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ExplodingBoy Posted December 28, 2004 Author Members Share Posted December 28, 2004 Fee In the cool shade of the banana treeOn the rugged trail toward the balconyA child of the twentieth centuryA dried up goliath and a weasel named fee Far away in another placeA fading beauty named milly graceA gospal singer with pox on her faceAnd a bamboo cane to help her keep the pace Fee was a buddhist prodigyLong past the age of maturitySomeday he knew it would set him freeLike it did for floyd the chimpanzee Oh, fee, you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mintbeetle Posted December 29, 2004 Members Share Posted December 29, 2004 the 2nd one is a masterpiece. it reminds me of an old Beck song, or maybe They might be giants. i imagine the backing track as having trippy reversed guitars and something unusual supplying percussion.

The 2nd one is art. Great, great melody and trippy ambience. Fee is actually one of Phish's better tunes. It's a nice job (musically, not lyrically).

Members pink floyd cramer Posted December 29, 2004 Members Share Posted December 29, 2004 So who the f*k wrote the first 2 songs? BTW I like them. I would be willing to believe the first is the work of a well-known 20th century poet. Feel free to laugh at me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UncleDig Posted December 29, 2004 Members Share Posted December 29, 2004 And though they were sadThey rescued everyoneThey lifted up the sunA spoonful weighs a ton Giving more than they hadThe process had begunA million came from oneThe limits now were none Being drunk on their planThey lifted up the sun Forcing it off with their handsThe trap door came undoneAbove our heads it swungThe priviledge now was won Being drunk on their planThey lifted up the sun Shouting as hard as they canThe doubters all were stunnedHeard louder than a gunThe sound they made was love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
