USVirgin Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Just listening to some old music. I never cared about lyrics when I was young as opposed to lead guitar, thus I liked bands such as the early Scorpions and what Ritchie Blackmore was up to at the time, which was Rainbow. I think my generation was confused by unintelligible unimportant lyrics. I had this album, and was just listening to it and can't make any sense out of this good song at all. Can someone please clue me in? Rainbow - Man on the Silver Mountain I'm a wheel, I'm a wheel I can roll, I can feel And you can't stop me turning 'Cause I'm the sun, I'm the sun I can move, I can run But you'll never stop me burning [color:red]Come down with fire Lift my spirit higher[/color] Someone's screaming my name Come and make me holy again I'm the man on the silver mountain I'm the man on the silver mountain I'm the day, I'm the day I can show you the way And look I'm right beside you I'm the night, I'm the night I'm the dark and the light With eyes that see inside you Just look at me and listen I'm the man, the man, give you my hand Come down with fire Lift my spirit higher I'm the man on the silver mountain I'm the man on the silver mountain I'm the night the light The black and the white The man on the silver mountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Try this one... China Cat Sun Flower-Grateful Dead Look for a while at the china cat sunflower, Proud walking jingle in the midnight sun. Copperdome bodhi drip a silver kimono, Like a crazy quilt stargown through a dream night wind. Crazy cat peekin through a lace bandanna, Like a one-eyed cheshire, like a diamond-eye jack. A leaf of all colors plays a golden-string fiddle, To a double-e waterfall over my back. Comic book colors on a violin river cryin leonardo, Words from out a silk trombone. I rang a silent bell, beneath a shower of pearls, In the eagle-winged palace of the queen chinee. I have "travel far and wide" with this band, and I get it...er sort of...

Julian2 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 It all started here. Picture yourself in a boat on a river, With tangerine trees and marmalade skies Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly, A girl with kaleidoscope eyes. Or even earlier. A-Wop-bop-a-loo-lop a-lop-bam-boo Tutti Frutti, all over rootie,..... A-wop-bop-a-loo-lop a-lop bam boo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian2 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Why? What could be easier to understand than this? Well I turned around and I said "Oh, oh" Oh Well I turned around and I said "Oh, oh" Oh Well I turned around and I said "Ho, Ho" And the northern lights commenced to glow And she said, with a tear in her eye "Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow" "Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
