Anybody interested in figuring out other lyrics/ checking these ones? ahmm, of course, don't read the following if you don't like re-learning the _right_ lyrics later on :) when i was young, my parents left me they said i could not sing i talked through my mouth with many tongues i am ?a wonder? (a-wanderer?) the nightinggale, the lark, the blackbird, the thrush proclaim themselves from every bush crow crow, get out of my sight i am a wonder so weird and sad i am a wonder i vary my voice one is sorrow two mirth three a wedding four birth five heaven six hell seven the devil's own self sonets, ???? eased my grief oppressed heart of strain so sweet sweet birds, might i hear you ever i sing again, as i should to wake men up for their own good i talk through my mouth with many tongues i am a wonder so weird and sad i am a wonder one is a sign of mischief two a sign of mirth three a no four a sign of death five a sign of rain six is the sign of the bastard born the bastard born with no last name crow crow, get out of my sight i'll kill your mother and father tonight when i was young, my parents left me they said i could not sing - ------------------------------------- thin thin thin pale length of limb lives in ?north? and watches out where('ve) you been my bonny boy crack crack crack break your father's back overseas a slow kid now where you been my bonny one you were blond and now you're brown give him back neck yaw wrist ? ? where kissed done done done set in bone and tongue sits eleven bells strong and thin where you been my bonny child curve yourself to me a while where you been my bonny one you were blond and now you're brown welcome back rib eye-lid shoulder ??? shut mouth - ------------------------------------- ??? candy? lemon? ??? fill me up with what you've got that blue is a lovely shade come on over, my bed is unmade there's nothing wrong with feeling good nay ne nay ne nay ne nay nothing wrong with feeling great fine music and good headphones make it with your stereo not much sleep but healthy shine i feel better all the time .all the time. .all the time. come on come on it's warm inside come on be my pony bride painted nails and blondy head come on over and make my bed there's nothing wrong with feeling good nay ne nay ne nay ne nay ne nay ne nay ne nay every time i'm feeling good nay ne nay ne nay ne nay every time i'm feeling great ps. i love the 'tweeweeweeweewee' high pitch sound.

No headaches here ;-) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Nov 1999 10:18:05 -0800 (PST) From: John Drummond Subject: [VH] ;D Ponybride lyrics Actually, I think she's saying-- there's nothing wrong with feeling good inane inane inane inane inane every time I'm feeling good inane inane inane inane inane every time I'm feeling great - --because I think the song is talking about artistic people's weird compulsions to be artistic and high-class all the time, and also not to associate themselves with, like, non-artistic people... the common folk who actually listen to the radio and stuff... and then the ponybride is just some random cute little awkward girl who actually likes pop because it's just the level she's on... but saying "inane inane inane inane inane" brings out the fact that the speaker feels stupid and/or lame for actually taking pleasure in the simple things in life, rather than being an arty dramatic drama artist all the time. That's what I get from the song at least. ;D John ===== "However, for all you S&M fans out there, fill your jodhpurs with whatever tickles your fancy, xoxo." - - Kym Brown __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
