Have you ever noticed that one man's poetry is another's mumbo-jumbo?

To that end, I've concocted this little game whereby we re-write lyrics in our own personal way so that they speak to everybody from our own viewpoints.

ENJOY!!!

Two rules;

1. Lyrics must be from an album in the archives.

2. Interpretations should be humourous and inoffensive to the band/artist/poster.

EXAMPLE:

"So here I am once more in the playground of the broken hearts
One more experience, one more entry in a diary, self-penned
Yet another emotional suicide overdosed on sentiment and pride
Too late to say I love you, too late to re-stage the play
Abandoning the relics in my playground of yesterday
I'm losing on the swings, I'm losing on the roundabouts
I'm losing on the swings, I'm losing on the roundabouts
Too much, too soon, too far to go, too late to play, the game is over
The game is over"

= "I just split up with my girlfriend and life sucks."

"I act the role in classic style of a martyr carved with twisted smile
To bleed the lyric for this song to write the rites to right my wrongs
An epitaph to a broken dream to exercise this silent scream
A scream that's borne from sorrow"

= "I pretend to my mates that I dumped her, although she dumped me. There's no way I can come clean about it, not even to my best mate, and it's driving me mental."

"I never did write that love song, the words just never seemed to flow
Now sad in reflection did I gaze through perfection
And examine the shadows on the other side of the morning
And examine the shadows on the other side of mourning
Promised wedding now a wake"

= "I'm really hacked off now - I can't think about anything else but what might have been"

"The fool escaped from paradise will look over his shoulder and cry
Sit and chew on daffodils and struggle to answer why?
As you grow up and leave the playground
Where you kissed your prince and found your frog
Remember the jester that showed you tears, the script for tears"

= "Especially 'coz I know that initially she really fancied me, but  I acted like a complete wnker,  psed her off big time and saw it all coming but didn't do anything about it. What a total tser I am"

"So I'll hold my peace forever when you wear your bridal gown
In the silence of my shame the mute that sang the sirens' song
Has gone solo in the game, I've gone solo in the game
But the game is over
Can you still say you love me"

= "Oh well, I'm off to my room for a wk"

How about a challenge response;

Try to precis these lyrics into simple humourous sentences (100 bonus points if you can tell me who it is):

In upstairs rooms
The meals are eaten
The cars in the garage ready to go go
Disco baby shed no tear
Hot light overhead
Shaking meat meet
Ho ho weekend ha ha party
Moo moo sacred cow
The White House somedays
On the lawn
Well kept pedigree
Snap over bones
Surplus requirements
Appetite angel going down

Meanwhile below reports flop into the in-trays in-trays
Meanwhile below reports flop into the in-trays

She stares out of her window
Her will is still in bed
She has no memory of herself
For care has drained her head
The poster on the billboard
Says she should paint her lips
Like the smiles on the TV people

[FILE 1:]
"If the thought processes of an individual can be permanently limited to the
point of strict conformity to an outside source of thought the said individual need no longer be considered as such. The enforcement of order becomes possible for anybody with enough power of control what is projected"

See?
It's all quite simple ...

This woman's place is in a home
Society has judged
She does not fit official standards
And they cannot be budged
There's something on her eyes that says
The struggle's gone too deep
And there's no comfort in the thought of
Watching acolytes of doubt try hard to fight
Their problems out
Excess profit has the clout to spread the message:

"We are sane
Not insane ..."

(Good Luck! )
