'Beachball' Lyrics, transcribed by Fink: "All the world is like a beach ball out in space, between the waves In the hands of laughing babies all the world is gumball(?) shaped
Hello moon, Hello stars in the sky Heaven won't you answer me, why?
I ring the bell until someone listens look upon this burning city victory, smiles the wicked man does he feel the weight of every finger hanging off his heavy hands.
Ring the bell til someone listens Bring me gold and bring me wisdom give me scars(?) to bring me grace wicked wit and when i use it that's the hopes of those who hate me Give me love, big as a mountain, oh oh oh, yea.
Ring the bell til someone listens Melt your words right to my skin and your smile my flesh and bones From the mountains i will sing you through your veins my river flows
I ring the bell til someone listens Bring me gold and bring me wisdom give me scars(?) to bring me grace wicked wit and when i use it that's the hopes of those who hate me Give me love, big as a mountain, oh oh oh, yea.
Ring the bell til someone listens Bring me gold and bring me wisdom give me scars(?) to bring me grace and wicked wit and when i use it that's the hopes of those who hate me Give me love as big as a beachball, oh oh oh, yea. Give me love as big as a beachball, yea."
What's the best thing about the new Wilco album? The names? So come June 30th, when you press play on your iPod the following will be on screen:
Wilco (The Song) Wilco Wilco (The Album)
Genius.
Tracklist: Wilco The Song Deeper Down One Wing Bull Black Nova You And I You Never Know Country Disappeared Solitaire I'll Fight Sunny Feeling Everlasting
For now, here's 'Wilco (The Song)' on The Colbert Report:
I love the way "Elvis" is an anagram of "lives", that's probably why people still think he's alive. One band who do are post-punk band The Mighty Roars. Their new single is called 'Elvis Lives (and he drinks sale)', the scond part of which isn't an anagram. Well it probably is, but I'm too lazy to figure out what. The single is out June 1st, and is taken from upcoming album ZIP which will be out sometime later this year on One Little Indian.
