cover #49: angel

song: angel
cover: sepultura
original: massive attack

comments: (whoops, i thought i'd scheduled this and all that. my bad!) you know, there really isn't anything i can say about the combination of massive attack and sepultura. i think this song might be too pretty, kind of like how the better known supermodels, apart from their ability to be a walking clothes hanger, are remembered because of some outstanding quirk in their features (cindy crawford's mole, lily cole's weird alien face and head, etc).



first song is cover, second is original.

where can you get it?
massive attack - angel
sepultura - angel

lyrics: you are my angel
come from way above
to bring me love

her eyes
she's on the dark side
neutralize
every man in sight

to love you
love you
love you
love you
love you
love you
love you

you are my angel
come from way above

to love you
love you
love you
love you
love you
love you
love you

cover #11: bullet with butterfly wings

song: bullet with butterfly wings
cover band: frida snell
original: smashing pumpkins

comment: there are songs out there that i call 'songs for the rain'. they don't necessarily have to have tinkly pianos, but there is just some underlying... iunno. it's hard to explain, ryan adams' "everybody knows" and massive attack's "teardrop" are songs for the rain. so's this one.

smashing pumpkins - bullet with butterfly wings
unfortunately, amazon doesn't have frida snell's lovely version of bullet with butterfly wings. your only hope is to search the internet.

lyrics: the world is a vampire
sent to drain
secret destroyers
hold you up to the flames
and what do i get
for my pain?
betrayed desires
and a piece of the game

even though i know
i suppose i'll show
all my cool and cold
like old job

despite all my rage
i am still just a rat in a cage
despite all my rage
i am still just a rat in a cage
then someone will say
what is lost can never be saved
despite all my rage
i am still just a rat in a cage

now i'm naked
nothing but an animal
but can you fake it
for just one more show?
and what do you want?
i want to change
and what have you got
when you feel the same?

even though i know
i suppose i'll show
all my cool and cold
like old job

despite all my rage
i am still just a rat in a cage
despite all my rage
i am still just a rat in a cage
then someone will say
what is lost can never be saved
despite all my rage
i am still just a rat in a cage

tell me i'm the only one
tell me there's no other one
jesus was the only son, yeah
tell me i'm the chosen one
jesus was the only son for you


despite all my rage
i am still just a rat in a
despite all my rage
i am still just a rat in a
despite all my rage
i am still just a rat in a
despite all my rage
i am still just a rat in a cage
despite all my rage
i am still just a rat in a cage
