Check out the cat’s reaction at the 1:07 mark!
Seriously, this is a perfect example of a song that – Look aside – goes from being a good Rush song on the verses to a bad XTC song on the choruses. The intersection of the relatively positive comparison to a band I don’t like with a negative comparison to a band I love is too small for me to hang onto.
On second thought, I’d rather keep the focus on the cat’s reaction shot. Peace!
A fine example of why videos suck. Oh, but did you catch the lyrics?
So this is where she stands at night
On this cold avenue of lights
the reds and greens but mostly reds
for you he’s stopping
In seeing him she knows him less
his stick is wet she’s half undressed
and all in all they’re both obsessed
with so much nothing
I know it’s hard for you to see
what lies behind’s a mystery
if words could speak they’d mean even less
when the king is half undressed
She dots her eyes with a smiley face
a work of art in all but taste
the fool deserves the bed he’s made
where idiots slumber
divine she is to air his fate
a crack of smile
through all this hate
means nothing more in this nervous state
of so much nothing
I know it’s hard for you to see
The truth behind is misery
if words could speak they’d mean even less
When the king is half undressed
Blue Autumns
Sunshine Kisses
Hearts and Flowers
Broken Wishes
I’m suprised Mr Mod that you didn’t bring up the “Ticket to Ride” beat.
That’s your job, Andyr!
