QUOTE(FishOutaWater @ Jul 9 2010, 10:54 am) *


I hate to quote myself, but I want to continue my anaolgy.

If Alive is like marshmellows, then The Gracious Few is like a nice steak dinner. Heavy and full of complex flavor. Very satisfying. Lots of sizzle!

By the way, I prefer I nice steak dinner to marshmellows any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

So if this analogy was lyrics in an Ed Kowalczyk song, it would go like this:


Oooooh oooooh
Oooooh oooooh, child

Alive is like a marshmellow
So fluffy and sickeningly sweet

The lyrics are about as challenging
As an Eddie K LOL Tweet

Ed could be telling me about philosophy
With that amazing singing voice

But instead he prays to Jesus in song,
Oh well, I guess that's his choice


TGF is like a nice sizzling steak
Cooked to medium rare

It would make the Mona Lisa smile
While lighting fire to her hair

No mention of God in the lyrics
And no drummer trapped in plexiglass

Just hard driving rock n' roll
That knocks you on your ass.


Oooooh Ooooooh, child.
Oooooh Ooooooh, Lord.

Take me to the desert.
Let me drink water.
Let me eat your bread.
Sweet surrender.
Love, love love.
I'm surrounded by razor blades and fire and enemies.
Bla bla bla. [Very catchy melody to follow]




Too f'in funny Fish lol.gif lol.gif
