Mindless Motives |
It's hard enough being born in the first place, Who would ever want to be born again? It's taken this long just to get to this place, So what's the point in ever being born again? |
I think this is probably my favourite song at the moment. Chan Marshall or more commonly known as Cat Power, is simply an incredible singer. Apparently she also is a bit ‘gone in the head’, which makes her story that little bit more interesting. For some more info on her the Wikipedia entry for her is pretty good and is available here.
Her work on the “I’m Not There” Soundtrack (a Bob Dylan lifestory film) is on Spotify and also well worth checking out.
The Lyrics to “The Greatest” are also below.
Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or waterfall could stop me
And then came the rush of the flood
The stars at night turned you to dust
Melt me down
To big black armour
Leave no trace
Of grace
Just in your honor
Lower me down
That corporate slob
Make a watch
For a space in town
For the lack of the drugs
My faith had been sleeping
Lower me down
In the end
Secure the grounds
For the later parade
Once I wanted to be the greatest
Two faced, sad little rock
When things I couldn’t explain
Any feelings
Lower me down
In the end
Secure the grounds
For the lack of the drugs
My faith had been sleeping
For the later parade
Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or water fall could stop me
And then came the rush of the flood
The stars at night turned you to dust
