cover #47: people are people

song: people are people
cover: a perfect circle
original: depeche mode

comments: i've been looking for a new song to apply the "shitty cover" tag to for a while now. i just never thought it would be a cover by a perfect circle that would satisfy the itch. jesus, this blows.



first song is cover, second is original.

where can you get it?
if, for some twisted and psychotic reason, you would actually like to spend money on the cover version of "people are people", you're in luck.
depeche mode - people are people
a perfect circle - people are people

lyrics: people are people
so why should it be
you and i should get along so awfully
people are people
so why should it be
you and i should get along so awfully

so we're different colours
and we're different creeds
and different people
have different needs
it's obvious you hate me
though i've done nothing wrong
i've never ever met you
so what could i have done

i can't understand
what makes a man
hate another man
help me understand

people are people
so why should it be
you and i should get along so awfully
people are people
so why should it be
you and i should get along so awfully

help me understand
help me understand

now you're punching
and you're kicking
and you're shouting at me
i'm relying on your common decency
so far it hasn't surfaced
but i'm sure it exists
it just takes a while to travel
from your head to your fists

i can't understand
what makes a man
hate another man
help me understand

people are people
so why should it be
you and i should get along so awfully
people are people
so why should it be
you and i should get along so awfully

i can't understand
what makes a man
hate another man
help me understand
i can't understand
what makes a man
hate another man
help me understand
i can't understand
what makes a man
hate another man
help me understand
i can't understand
what makes a man
hate another man
help me understand
i can't understand
what makes a man
hate another man
help me understand

cover #46: ordinary world

song: ordinary world
cover: aurora
original: duran duran

comments: oh house music. will you never win?



first song is cover, second is original.

where can you get it?
duran duran - ordinary world
aurora - ordinary world

lyrics: came in from a rainy thursday
on the avenue
thought i heard you talking softly
i turned on the lights, the tv
and the radio
still i can't escape the ghost of you

what has happened to it all?
crazy, some are saying
where is the life that i recognize?
gone away

but i won't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
somehow i have to find
and as i try to make my way
to the ordinary world
i will learn to survive

passion or coincidence
once prompted you to say
"pride will tear us both apart"
well now pride's gone out the window
cross the rooftops, run away
left me in the vacuum of my heart

what is happening to me?
crazy, some'd say
where is my friend when i need you most?
gone away

but i won't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
somehow i have to find
and as i try to make my way
to the ordinary world
i will learn to survive

papers in the roadside
tell of suffering and greed
here today, forgot tomorrow
here besides the news
of holy war and holy need
ours is just a little sorrowed talk

and i don't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
somehow i have to find
and as i try to make my way
to the ordinary world
i will learn to survive

every one
is my world
i will learn to survive
any one
is my world
i will learn to survive
any one
is my world
every one
is my world
