Are you under the impression that I think those are good lyrics?

I like the lyrics because they remind me of that whole Breakfast Club/Simple Minds/80's new wavers the world is against me vibe. But, I freely admit they are not Pulitzer Prize winning prose

I like the American video more. He looks so much hotter cleaned up

Such a little girl... such a hard life
She could look a challenge... right between the eyes
Disappointment... would become her middle name...
Up against the wall, Jane
So her nights became nightmares...
As she fought for their souls
And the days became worse...
For the ones she had lost
Children of the world...
the forgotten chimpanzee
In the eyes of the world...
You have done so much for me

There are angels... here on earth... angels
There are angels... here on earth...
Angels... send from God
Come away from the wall... stay with us
Well you can, Jane

So she watched as they put them all into cages
Well they might as well have caged her very own baby
They might as well have put us both into prison
Through a window... all our sorrows...
Would become our only visions...
Nothing more

There are angels here... angels
There are angels here on earth... angles
Angels... send from God
You will never feel... that you have ever done enough
But you have, Jane

Such a little girl... such a hard life
You could look a challenge... straight between the eyes
Disappointment... would become her middle name
Up against the wall, Jane
Nothing more then the shadow of a man
Come away from the wall, Jane
Well they might as well have put us both into prison
Come away... if you can, Jane
Through a window... all our sorrows...
Will become our only visions
Come away, Jane...
Come away... come away if you can

In the eyes of the world... you have done so much

Back off young man - back off

I submit:

Through a window... all our sorrows...
Will become our only visions

is hauntingly poignant and just so moving when you consider she is talking about poor caged animals who are forced to watch their cagemates tortured and experimented on.

I think they are great. I think they are applicable to the song. I like them. So, take that

That's nice. I think Jane Goodall deserved far better. I mean, c'mon:

So she watched as they put them all into cages
Well they might as well have caged her very own baby
They might as well have put us both into prison

Those lines are cringeworthy; they sound like something anyone could have written.

I like this:

Disappointment... would become her middle name...
Up against the wall, Jane

But that's it.

Well I try.

I mean c'mon. Stevie Nicks does not write about chimpanzes.

how ill I am at this moment (Thus the lack of posts today) I am currently listening to a song that I can relate to:

"A Tout Le Monde" by Megadeth from their just released "Greatest Hits-Back to the Start" disc
