Meatloaf's "I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)"

And after they're done with the assignment, come back and explain to me what "that" is.

The first performers that came to mind where RUSH, who you already mentioned, and Bjork. Bjork's music is almost always "deep" in meaning and imagery to me so whey not try her stuff?

Pretty much any song off the Manic Street Preachers' <i>The Holy Bible</i> album.

Too songs I've always liked that get lots of questions about the true meaning will follow.

"Fat Bottomed Girls" is a much better choice.






Here's some lyrics:


The Stranglers -
"Golden Brown"
[ from the album "La Folie" (1981) ]


Golden brown texture like sun
Lays me down with my mind she runs
Throughout the night
No need to fight
Never a frown with golden brown

Every time just like the last
On her ship tied to the mast
To distant lands
Takes both my hands
Never a frown with golden brown

Golden brown finer temptress
Through the ages she's heading west
From far away
Stays for a day
Never a frown with golden brown

(Never a frown) Never a frown (never a frown)
(Never a frown) With golden brown (with golden brown)

(Never a frown) Never a frown (never a frown)
(Never a frown) With golden brown (with golden brown)

(Never a frown) Never a frown (never a frown)
(Never a frown) With golden brown (with golden brown)

(Never a frown) Never a frown (never a frown)
(Never a frown) With golden brown (with golden brown)

(Never a frown) Never a frown (never a frown)




"Some Velvet Morning" lyrics:



Lee:
Some velvet morning when I'm straight
I'm gonna open up your gate
And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra
and how she gave me life
and how she made it in
Some velvet morning when I'm straight

Nancy:
Flowers growing on the hill
Dragonflies and daffodils
Learn from us very much
Look at us but do not touch
Phaedra is my name

Lee:
Some velvet morning when I'm straight
I'm gonna open up your gate
And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra
and how she gave me life
and how she made it in
Some velvet morning when I'm straight

Nancy:
Flowers are the things we knew
Secrets are the things we grew
Learn from us very much
Look at us but do not touch
Phaedra is my name

Lee:
Some velvet morning when I'm straight
Nancy:
Flowers growing on the hill
Lee:
I'm gonna open up your gate
Nancy:
Dragonflies and daffodils
Lee:
And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra
Nancy:
Learn from us very much
Lee:
And how she gave me life
Nancy:
Look at us but do not touch
Lee:
and how she made it in
