[Ephejvll]

Sorry for the day early post - cannot do this for a day or two and its after midnight where I am so technically I got the right day!

The song:


The lyrics:
Vultures in my garden
Figures that I know them
And it is what it is

You were good once
Now you're filled with bitterness
And it is what it is

I cannot forget that he can't forget
or that some friends just change like the seasons
Take me back to the fact that you're still blaming,
but I am not the reason you are not David Bowie

Now you want to steal the thoughts
that I have been deep in thought
and it is what it is

How 'bout your soulmate pact with the Devil
and needs a date with the surgeon
and it is what it is

I cannot forget that he can't forget
or that some friends just change like the seasons
Take me back to the fact that you're still blaming,
but I am not the reason you are not David Bowie

You forgot to value
what all of us have done for you
and it is what it is

You swore you were concious
not a champagne spiritualist
and it is what it is

I cannot forget that he can't forget
or that some friends just change like the seasons
Take me back to the fact that you're still blaming,
but I am not the reason you are not David Bowie

I cannot believe I am doing this song, its not even in my top 10 and some songs people haven't picked yet (Heart of Gold, Crucify, Toast, Sister Janet,, Riot Poof) I was so tempted to do.

But I just cannot let this oddity slide.

One of the problems with the Beekeeper was the potential of some songs being completely ruined by baby voice, insincerity and/or cheesy production.

Its no surprise that the era's best songs were also her most sincere and came from inside - Toast, Beekeeper, Garlands and Not David Bowie.

I have no muscial vocabulary but I call this song a "baroque diss-song". The song is bold and angry. It has a driving tribal sounding beat with so much reverb/echo and just builds and builds.

And it is clearly about Steve Caton. Bells for Her was about a friendship ending but is sad and ethereal. This is angry and raw - no baby voice in sight.

Steve Caton was the perfect compliment to Tori, he provided my favourite non piano moment from Tori on Doughnut Song. And even when "Mac Aladdin" took over - Steve Caton still inspired the best songs.

P.S. Body and Soul is the poor man's Not David Bowie.
