Tenson you like clever lyrics, this from same writer as above, Drummer from rush Neil Peart, "The Proffessor"


Theres a snake coming out of the darkness

parade from paradise

end the need for eden

chase the dreams of merchandise


There is tic and toc in atomic

leaders make a deal

the cosmic is largely comic

a con they couldn't conceal


There is no safe seat at the feast

take your best stab at the beast

The night is turning thin

the saint is turning to sin


raise the art to resistance

danger dare to be grand

pride reduced to humble pie

diamonds down to sand


take heart from earth and weather

the brightness of new birth

take heart from the harvest

shave the harvest from the earth


Reasoning is partly insane

Image just an eyeless game

the night is turning thin 

the saint is turning to sin


Miracles will have their claimers

more will bow to Rome

he and she are in the house

but theres on me at home


Rose is a rose of splendor

posed to respond in the end

lonely things like nights

I find, end finer with a friend


I hear the rate of her heart

A tear in the heat of art

the night turns thin

the saint turns to sin 


This is fantastic lyric writing the mans a bloody genius, althe more so when you consider the song is called "Anagram" read the lyrics again now you know the title, I don't know how the f*ck he does it, but all hsi songs are like this, don't know where he gets the ideas.


You need to hear this band my young musician friend.


This one i copied from the sleeve, the one in my sig i recited from memory, Stickman also a fan recognised my other sig a rush song also and recognised it from memory, Rush have this effect on people, 3 guys once described by Tommy Vance as a 3 piece symphony orchestra, anyway go buy some of their albums.


Moving Pictures

Hemispheres

2112

A farewell to Kings

Permanent Waves

Exit Stage left (live)


these would all give you a good taste of rush and woud be where i would start.
