Sir Frankie Crisp Wrote:Tell me true, tell me why was Jesus crucified - rubbish lyric
Was it for this that Daddy died? - ok, I'd be evil to criticise that, but I bet he could've written a better one with some thought
Was it you, was it me, did I watch too much TV? - surely one of the worst Floyd lyrics of all
Is that a hint of accusation in your eyes? - best line of the song
If it wasn't for the nips being so good at building ships, the yards would still be open on the Clyde - picks up a bit there
And it can't be much fun for them beneath the rising sun, with all their kids committing suicide - not bad, not excellent
What have we done, Maggie what have we done, what have we done to England? - it's ok, sets up a nice, reuseable musical theme, though mentioning politicians by name outdates songs in the long run
Should we shout, should we scream, what happened to the post-war dream? - that's a very poor piece of writing, probably the first thing he thought of and decided to not bother developing it into something more meaningful, but it does fit well musically if nothing else

There's my opinion. Not exactly Dogs, is it?

Nice. Do you write lyrics? Do you know how hard it is to convey real emotion? If so, I would like to read some of them, see if you come off much better. If not, shut the hell up. It's hard. Maybe that's not the best sheet Roger ever made, but it's certainly beautiful. The allusions to religion, rascism, and over-information which you seem to loathe, are key ingredients. Not exactly Dogs? I find Dogs to be annoying somewhat in how direct it is. You see, Roger was banging us over the head. In Post War Dream he is being more metaphorical, maybe your just to thick to appreciate lyrics that aren't so clear cut as "all alone and dying of cancer".

Sydney, if it wasn't entirely creepy on all levels, I may propose to you based solo on that post :love: You really got the nail in the board on that one.

wow, you guys have some in-depth posts :)
