Jen >> Sure is. Take your choice: the original or the version by the Austin Lounge Lizards. Also: The Rooks, "Love Said to Me": Love said to me that our love Was a picture of black damnation That's what it showed to me Like a Goya illustration His "Sleep of Reason" mirrors me This might be the time to ask the rock eggheads of the Loud List a question that has tormented me since my teen years. Around 1972 I used to hear a song on FM radio about which I remember these things. It had an uptempo 4/4 beat, the line "And now I'm into Le Corbusier," and the chorus, "Remember what it was like Ah, remember what it was like Remember what it was like, what it was like" Name that tune. Could we throw in "Frank Lloyd Wright" by Simon and Garfunkle? How in the world could I forget "20th Century Man." ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2009 08:43:58 -0500 From: Prew Chris Subject: Re: [loud-fans] call to obsessive playlisters - songs separated at birth Brian Eno's "Kings Lead Hat" & the Cars "Shake it Up" is the one that leaps to my mind.

I'm liking the new Morrissey. Liking a lot. I'd like it even more were it not so painful, but I'm still liking a lot. Is is possible he's finally hit his real stride knocking on 50? Andy Elegy For Jane by Theodore Roethke (My student, thrown by a horse) I remember the neckcurls, limp and damp as tendrils; And her quick look, a sidelong pickerel smile; And how, once startled into talk, the light syllables leaped for her, And she balanced in the delight of her thought, A wren, happy, tail into the wind, Her song trembling the twigs and small branches. The shade sang with her; The leaves, their whispers turned to kissing, And the mould sang in the bleached valleys under the rose. Oh, when she was sad, she cast herself down into such a pure depth, Even a father could not find her: Scraping her cheek against straw, Stirring the clearest water. My sparrow, you are not here, Waiting like a fern, making a spiney shadow. The sides of wet stones cannot console me, Nor the moss, wound with the last light. If only I could nudge you from this sleep, My maimed darling, my skittery pigeon. Over this damp grave I speak the words of my love: I, with no rights in this matter, Neither father nor lover.
