Now, for fun and only for fun,

I understand that a lot of people have a problem with the lyrics:

I'm ripping the stitches
You have 2 hands to rub
I'm digging the ditches
of someone elses love (luck)

or whatever...

so I CHALLENGE YOU TO REWRITE IT AND MAKE IT BETTER, SUCKERS!!!

okay, i'll give it a shot

The mob's killing the snitches
Cos' they're too dangerous
And pimping the bitches
I drive a pickup truck

it's sort of a country and wester gangster rap song...

that's gangster, not gangsta, with tuxedos and tommy guns. Thus the reference to the mob. "Yo Tommy, We gotsta whack this stool pigeon!"

Actually, I must say that's my favourite part of Mercy. It's the over-use of metaphors in the verses that bugs me.
 
does this work for you?

Oh, and my favorite part:


"And happiness is for
Those who don't really need it"

I love the line: "If you are ice/I'm water" Because he loves the person he's singing to so much, but yet (since ice melts in water) by his very being, he destroys the thing he loves the most.

It just breaks your heart. I think it's a very powerful lyric . . . and so succinct.
 
^:up: I love that line too.

And I have to say once again that your name, FitzChivalry, tells me that you have excellent taste in books and it makes me very happy because not a lot of people know that name :cool:
