You Could Be The One

Ich weiss, dass das Thema drüben im Land der Herzen schon zum Running Gag geworden ist, aber hier habe ich (auf die schnelle) noch keinen aktiven Thread gefunden...
M. E. ist die VISIONTHING (bis auf wenige Ausnahmen) nur zu ertragen, wenn man das ganze Ding als Satire auffasst. Jetzt bin ich mal wieder über diese olle B-Seite gestossen und muss sagen, wenn man schon auf dem Satire-Trip ist, so ist das wirklich das beste Lied auf dem Album.
Hippie-bashing ist ja in guter Post-Punk-Tradition, und unter diesem Gesichtspunkt ist der Text einfach genial:
"All gods children give good phone
I called Jesus, he's not home
So I'm so pleased to talk to you
Trees and walks I love them too
Threatened species they adore me,
Flower children never bore me
But all the this you share
Are better left unsaid
When you can give me head
And run your fingers through my hair
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, You could be the one - We can meditate
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, You could be the one - Let's call it fate
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, You could be the one - So get your flowers pressed
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, You could be the one - Just get undressed
I'm so glad to find you here
Mystic people they're so dear
I don't like the rest
Your signs the best
Whatever it is
I'm most impressed
I don't need to understand
The laying on of hands
I'm in a hurry to get my collar straight
Life is short and I can't wait
But don't worry about the state
Of this pretty little thing in the armour plate
I'm so pleased that you believe
Just open up a little let the good times in
We're, going fo a ride
Destiny can't be denied
But all those precious things are better left unsaid
When you can keep me here
And run your fingers though my hair
Love, is all you need."
Oder?
