The Flaming Lips

Muchos grupos hay que reclaman la etiqueta de alternativos y psicodélicos, pero pocos se lo merecen tanto como The Flaming Lips. Y para muestra su carátula, que es genial a mi gusto, y aunque la idea del dibujo pueda parecer simple [ ya que solo aparecen dos personajes ] la verdad es que las formas van muchos más allá de lo que podíamos esperar, al igual que sus colores. ¿Qué les parece :) ?

Y aunque hoy estoy tentado de poner su mítica canción "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots" que da titulo al álbum a la carátula anterior, voy a dejarles en su lugar, la canción que abre dicho LP. "Fight Test", una canción genial que no tiene nada que envidiar a los grandes Hits de la veterana Banda de Oklahoma.

Espero que les guste : ) !

Lyrics - The Flaming Lips

I thought I was smart - I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight - I thought there was a
Virtue in always being cool - so when it came time to
Fight I thought I'll just step aside and that time would
Prove you wrong and that you would be the fool -

I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Light begins it's all a mystery

Oh to fight is to defend if it's not
Now than tell me when would be the time that you would stand up
And be a man - for to lose I could accept but to surrender
I just wet and regretted this moment - oh that I - I
Was the fool

I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Light begins it's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides what right for his
Own life - it's all a mystery

Cause I'm a man not a boy and there are things
You can't avoid you have to face them when you're not prepared
To face them -
If I could I would but you're with him now it'd do no good
I should have fought him but instead I let him - I let
Him take it -

I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Light begins it's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides what right for his
Own life - it's all a mystery
