Lied van de week: week 51 - 2018

So long, and thanks for all the fish - A Perfect Circle

Tool komt volgend jaar naar Rock Werchter en dus mag het festival mogelijks mijn lief en mij verwelkomen op vrijdag. Die andere band van Maynard James Keenan, A Perfect Circle, bracht dit jaar alvast een nieuwe plaat uit, Eat the elephant. Daarop vinden we deze single terug, die onze reeks liederen van de week voor 2018 mag afsluiten.

Je kan het album hier kopen.

Lyrics:

Time is money and money's time

We wasted every second dime

On diets, lawyers, shrinks and apps

And flags, and plastic surgery

Now Willy Wonka, Major Tom

Ali and Leia have moved on

Signal the final curtain call

In all its atomic pageantry

Bravissimo, hip-hip hooray

For this fireworks display

Mind and body blown away

What a radiant crescendo

Ticker tape parade

Our hair and skin 

Like Marilyn Monroe

In an afterwind

Time is money and money's time

We wasted every second dime

On politicians, fancy water

And guns, and plastic surgery

Like our Prince and Reenie's mom

All the dolphins have moved on

Signaling the final curtain call

In all its atomic pageantry

Bravissimo, hip-hip hooray

What a glorious display

Melt our joyous hearts away

Under the mushroom cloud confetti

Hip-hip hooray

For this fireworks display

Mind and body blown away

What a radiant crescendo

Hip-hip hooray

Hip-hip hooray

Ticker tape parade

Our hair and skin 

Like Marilyn Monroe

In an afterwind

Time is money and money's time

We wasted every second dime

On diets, lawyers, shrinks and apps

And flags, and plastic surgery

Now Willy Wonka, Major Tom

Ali and Leia have moved on

Signal the final curtain call

In all its atomic pageantry
