life lyrics

There's nothing I like more than discussing music. I'm never happier than thrashing out the merits of some old track in comparison to some classic old music that has resonated through my life.
Maybe I'll try to work out the soundtrack to my life one of these days. But you might be a little shocked to some of the cheesy tracks... Maybe everyone likes some cheesy music?
Even Brassey? Hmmm.
Last night laid in bed we were discussing lyrics. In particular the lyrical brilliance of The Manic Street Preachers and Oasis. The Manics are uncompromisingly left wing. But I respect them for sticking to their principles and saying it as it is.
We both agreed 'Design For Life' was their best track. "We don't talk about love. We only want to get drunk" well fuck me if that's not the line of the century with all this lovey mushy crap we have to contend with these days. Crikey even our cinema visit to 'Superman Returns' had us having to put up with a ragingly hormonal Superman. He's meant to have screwed Lois but in reality wouldn't that little act of love have really 'blown her mind?'
"Wonderwall" was the most played track in funerals in the 90's. Least it wasn't fucking "The lord's my shepherd" joke. Have you ever been in a field with a pack of man eating sheep? I have and it wasn't pretty.
So bang up to date with the contemporary Keane. No guitars, Keane. Keyboards and Toms Chaplin's distinctive voice. I liked their first album but soon tired of the sameness of it. Though Bedshaped was a beautiful track I could listen to anytime. But this new stuff? The only thing I liked about their last track "Is it any wonder" was the piano intro. It all went downhill after that. But their NEW tracks is out now. On the official playlist of Radio one. You can hear it every 20 minutes or so if you so desire.
And the lyrics?

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball,
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful,
Mirror, mirror on the wall.
Oh, crystal ball, hear my song,
I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong,
So put me where I belong.

Crystal Ball.... Mirror Mirror on the wall. Now where have I heard that one before?
What a bunch of old balony.
Recommended, as highly as being savaged by sheep.
One for the sea Brassey.
