LILT: Spring 3.0

Promoted:

Atop a tall bridge way up high
A man stands up feeling small
He stands there with his arms held wide
A mob forms below his pedestal
And I don't want to miss out here
I want to get in really near
I move myself close to the scene
And scream

He is now ready to climb back down
The rabble show a new-found hatred
They compress into a tight crowd
It won't allow him to escape it
So he finds that he must return
And the mob then begins to stir
They're wanting him to vent his spleen
And they scream

Fly
Fly
Fly

Fly
So I'm alright
Fly
Don't spoil my night
Fly from spite
Fly to the light
Fly

Now the man begins to weep
A cloud moves silently in
He can see what he has reaped
Before the sun and it dims
I just want to be at the scene
The people start to surge and teem
And to look up into the evening
And they're screaming

Fly
Fly

They're screaming
Fly

Fly
So I'm alright
Fly
Don't spoil my night
Fly from spite
Fly to the light
Fly

A cloud moves silently in
Before the sun and it dims
A thousand suns're burning just for him
Up there behind him I draw near
From there I kick him in the rear
I am his redemption
Yeah, I scream at him

Fly
Fly
Fly

Fly
So I'm alright
Fly
Don't spoil my night
Fly
Fly from spite
Don't spoil my night

Atop a tall bridge way up high
A man stands up feeling small
He stands there with his arms held wide
A mob forms below his pedestal
And I don't want to miss out here
I want to get in really near
I move right in close to the scene
And scream

He now really wants to climb back down
The rabble show a newfound hatred
They compress into a tight crowd
It will not let him escape it
So he finds that he must return
And the mob then begins to stir
They're wanting him to vent his spleen
And they scream

Fly

Fly
So I'm alright
Fly
Don't spoil my night
Fly from spite
Fly to the light

Now the man begins to weep
A cloud moves silently in
He sees what he has now reaped
Before the sun so it dims
I just want to be at the scene
The people start to surge and teem
And to look up into the evening
And they're screaming

Fly

They're screaming

So I'm alright

Up there behind him I draw near
From there I kick him in the rear
I am his redemption
Yeah, I scream at him

LILT: Spring 1.1

Atop a tall bridge way up high
A man stands up feeling small
He stands there with his arms held wide
A mob forms below his pedestal
But I don't want to miss out here
I want to get in really near
I move right in close to the scene
And scream

The man's wanting to climb back down
The people begin to display real hate
They compress into a tight crowd
They don't want to let him escape
So he finds that he must return
And the mob then begins to stir
They're wanting him to vent his spleen
And they scream

Fly
Fly
Fly

Fly
So I'm alright
Fly
Don't spoil my night
Fly from spite
Fly to the light
Fly

Now the man begins to weep
A cloud moves secretly in
He sees what he has now reaped
Before the sun. It goes dim
I just want to be at the scene
The people start to surge and teem
And to look up into the evening
And they're screaming

Fly
Fly

They're screaming
Fly

Fly
So I'm alright
Fly
Don't spoil my night
Fly from spite
Fly to the light
Fly

A cloud moves secretly in
Before the sun. It goes dim
A thousand suns're burning just for him
On the bridge behind him I near
From behind I kick him in the rear
I am his redemption
I scream at him

Fly
Fly
Fly

Fly
So I'm alright
Fly
Don't spoil my night
Fly
Fly from spite
Don't spoil my night

LILT: Spring 1.0

It's a bit shaky, but it's a first draft:

Atop a tall bridge right up high
A man stands up feeling small
He stands there with his arms held wide
A mob forms below his pedestal
But I don't want to miss out either
I want to get in so much nearer
I get right up close to the scene
And scream

The man's wanting to climb back down
The people begin to really hate
They compress to a tight crowd
They don't want to let him escape
So he finds that he must return
And the mob then begins to stir
They want him to vent his spleen
And they scream

Fly
So I'm alright
Fly
For my delight
Fly from spite
Fly to the light
Fly

Now the man begins to weep
A cloud moves quietly in
He sees what he has now reaped
Before the sun it goes dim
I just want to be at the scene
The people start to surge and teem
And to look up into the evening
And they're screaming

Fly

They're screaming
Fly
So I'm alright
Fly
For my delight
Fly from spite
Fly to the light
Fly

A cloud moves quietly in
Before the sun it goes dim
But a thousand suns burn just for you
Behind him on the bridge I sneak
From behind I kick him in the back
I am his redemption
I scream at him

Fly

Fly
So I'm alright
Fly
For my delight
Fly from spite
Fly
For my delight

Teutophilia

I know that a lot of Rammstein fans are Teutophiles. I'm not. I don't dislike anything German, really, but I've not generalised my liking for Rammstein their motherland. One product of Germany that I am a complete sucker for, however, is their cars. This is a life-long passion brought about by my morfar (maternal grandfather), who was a complete Mercedes-Benz fan. I drive a Golf and adore it. We also have a classic Mercedes-Benz coupe, and that's our baby. Because I know that a lot of Rammstein fans do generalise their passion for Rammstein to Germany and because I think it's very funky here is a clip on YoutTube that should satisfy both the revheads and the Teutophiles amongst you.

By the way, I'm about halfway through Spring. It won't get posted today, but perhaps tomorrow after work.

Spring Flopped

I had intended to finish draft one of Spring today, but I put in too much time promoting the petition and doing other necessary stuff, so it's not happened as planned. I'll hopefully find time for it tomorrow. I also want to look back over Eifersucht and see if it's something I can salvage, or if it's just not a good LILT song.

Now go and sign the petition!
