OMG I'm dying because of "Good Lovin'"!!! That sooooo fits!!!
I don't know if anyone is a fan of today's music, but I just picked up the new My Chemical Romance (MCR) CD and it is totally awesome! (though has no relation to that new Vh1 movie about the 80s
) It is today's rock, but with an edge that SCREAMS 70s/80s GOOD rock in some songs. Absolutely Great. Anyway, their first single is called "Welcome to the Black Parade".
When I was a young boy
My father took me into the city
to see a marching band (Barn and Joshua going to Martinique)
He said son when you grow up
Would you be the savior of the broken
The beaten and the damned? (Self explanatory, though I'm sure Joshua didn't want Barn to be a vamp!)
He said will you
Defeat them
Your demons
And all the non-believers
The plans that they have made? (HELLO Barn being the rescuer of the Collins family!)
Because one day
I'll leave you
A PHANTOM
To lead you in the summer
To join the black parade
When I was--a young boy
My Father
Took me into the city
To see a marching band
He said son when you grow up
Would you be
The savior of the broken
The beaten and the damned?
Sometimes I get the feeling
She's watching over me
And other times I feel like I should go (Ang is always watching!)
And through it all
The rise and fall
The bodies in the streets (oh how many!)
And when you're gone we want you all to know
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone belive me
Your memory will carry on
Will carry on
And in my heart I can't contain it
The anthem won't explain it
A world that send you reeling
From decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all (It sure killed Carl!)
So paint it black
And take it back
Let's shout it loud and clear
Defiant to the end we hear the call (Defiant? Barn? Never!)
To carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone belive me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches (Josette Marches! Get Ang! Bite her! Pull her eye out!)
On and on we carry though the fears
Disappointed faces of your peers
Take a look ta me
'Cause I could not care at
All
Do or die
You'll never make me
because the world
Will never take my heart
Go and try
You'll never break me (Barn and Ang always fought!)
We want it all
We want to play this part
I won't explain
Or say I'm sorry (Not until 1840 anyway!)
I'm unashamed
I'm gonna show my scar (and boy did Barn leave many)
Give a cheer
For all the broken
Listen here
Because it's who we are
I'm just a man
I'm not a hero
Just a boy who had to sing this song
I'm just a man I'm not a hero
I
Don't
CARE!
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches on!
