Subject: Thru These Architect's Eyes

Stomping along on this big Philip Johnson
Is delay just wasting my time
Looking across at Richard Rogers
Scheming dreams to blow both their minds

It's difficult you see
To give up baby
To leave a job
When you know
You know the money's from day to day

CHORUS
All the majesty of a city landscape
All the soaring days in our lives
All the concrete dreams in my mind's eye
All the joy I see
Thru these architect's eyes

Cold winter bleeds on the girders of Babel
This stone boy watching the crawling land
Rings of flesh and the towers of iron
The steaming caves and the rocks and the sand

Stomping along on this big Phillip Johnson
Is delay just wasting my time
It's difficult you see
To give up baby
These summer scumholes
This goddamned starving life

CHORUS
All the majesty of a city landscape
All the soaring days in our lives
All the concrete dreams in my mind's eye
All the joy I see
Thru these architect's eyes

It's difficult you see
It's difficult you see

CHORUS
All the majesty of a city landscape
All the soaring days in our lives
All the concrete dreams in my mind's eye
All the joy I see
Thru these architect's eyes...

Speaking of Bowie, hey Gim have you heard the soundtrack to Oh Brother Were Art Thou? It's sooooooo scrumptious! IIIIIIIIIIIIIII...AM A MAN...OF CONSTANT SORROWWWWWWW!!!! (NT) -- spoot, okay maybe it has nuthin to do with Bowie!, 16:22:46 08/12/01 Sun

No, havent heard it - incidentally, the Phillip Johnson referenced in the song was the architect (obviously) for the AT&T building in NY - (big ugly), not the mad Christian-right ranter against Darwinism and Modern Science.

- errr....I kinda like that building, with it's silly greek top on a big tall skyscraper. And you must get that soundtrack, or first rent the movie, it's fun, a take off on the Odyssey. But the music is the old Country, of Alan Lomax, and Appalachia and Mississsippi Blues. And Gospel. A really great CD! (NT) -- spoot, 02:53:45 08/14/01 Tue
