Interesting Song That I Heard.

It is called little faces, it is by a band
called oysterhead.
It speaks of shadow people, and other
things. Listen to it, you might learn
something. here are the lyrics. a crazy
song man.
In the dawn
When my toes are cold
They spread their little trinkets on the
ground
In the hall
By the closet door
They creep into my bed without a sound
On a cube
In a plastic egg
A hundred fabric figures in a pile
See them march
Toward me in a line
And dance across the floor in single file
Little faces keep no track of time
Little faces speaking out in rhyme
Little faces smiling in my mind
Tiny doors
For walking though
While sticky fingers clutch forbidden
things
And the phone
For talking through
They often pull the cable when it rings
Sinking ships
On a foamy sea
That roll and tumble slowly from the
motion of their filthy
little hands
Their little hands
Little faces keep no track of time
Little faces speaking out in rhyme
Little faces smiling in my mind
In the dark
When their eyes are wide
They listen to the secrets that I tell
In a ball
On their tiny beds
Or beneath them where the shadow people
dwell
And the moon
Beams that split the night
Leave bars of yellow pasted on their
faces
As they drift into a dream
In a dream
Little faces keep no track of time
Little faces speaking out in rhyme
Little faces smiling in my mind

to offer and this....THIS is what our
furure holds...............I'm glad I 'm

It's a song, man, it doesn't have to be
high-end poetry. For a one-time read it
was worth it. Eerie.

Hell, you can't call this poetry.....you
can't call this anything but babble.
Someone must have been on some bad drugs
to come up with this.........

Look at the category in which it was
posted and you would see it makes perfect
sense. To people with Schizophrenia(sp?)
it does anyway from what I understand
about the condition.

I'm not calling it poetry. It's lyrics to
a song. But, I say let's chill to
everyone...

No actually all you do is force upon your
children a pointless and painful death,
and work in between, you force upon your
children nothing good, you raise them the
best you can?! Whoa! Let me count the
ways that that never works out. Your
insane and delusional. We give birth,
that's a serious laugh.

send them to school?! Been to school
lately, it's horrible, and we learn only
how to get a job, what a joke.
The best life has to offer these days?
How might we define that, growing
healthily old and then your body shuts
down and you die, after about sixty some
odd years of working, paying your bills,
weekends off though, I guess thats a plus
right? I'm sorry, but the best life has
to offer still sucks.
And if I remembered my birth, I would
probably vomit and have an anxiety attack,
because just a guess, it was probably
incredibly painful, morbid, an absolute
nightmare. A curse. Not a blessing. Are
we having trouble these days
distinguishing between the two or what?
And I think to myself, what a wonderful
world.

There an okay band consisting of trey
anastasio, les claypool, and the drummer
from the police(don't know his name).
I think that they make music about true
things, although those true things maybe
messed up sad and crazy.

occasion...and i loved the Police...but I

I've never heard this song but just
looking at the lyrics it's obviously about
a parent's musings of his children. Toys
in the hall... crawling into mom and dad's
bed in the morning... the children's
photo's on a photo cube and an egg shaped
picture frame... a pile of paper dolls ,
or maybe laundry... tiny doors on a
playhouse... sticky fingers... kid's in
the bathtub with toy boats... in their
bed's at night... the "monster" under the
bed... moonlight on their faces... the
children's "little faces" in his mind.
Maybe I just enjoyed parenting my kids a
lot, but that's my interpretation of the
song. I thought it was kinda beautiful.
Maybe it's good I haven't heard the
melody!
