I don't think that's bad, I actually think it's good. That happens to me a lot, too.

The one you posted also couldn't touch the flaming crap bomb that is Silver Girl. IMO.
HEY, and that's good!!



No, seriously, Mirror Mirror is one of her worst compositions. It's just a bunch of incomplete sentences and thoughts jammed together with the nightly news jingle.

You just repeated that cause you know I'll laugh every time, right? Yeah, I read it - I see the point, but at least the words are pretty? They also seem to have a pattern to their "totally not make sensedness" But, the point is, they certainly couldn't be called "good", could they?

I've wondered if that's why she cut it from the album, because she recognized it was incoherent. Or maybe it was because it sounded almost exactly like that Risky Business song (train scene). Maybe she ripped it off and remembered Waddy saying "don't ever do that again" regarding lifting the Edge riff from a Police album. I've always wanted to know why she cut Mirror.

Honey, I laugh my ass off just as much as you do at that line. Don't be surprised if I start posting it randomly.

I like the opening line only in Mirror Mirror. The rest is just...atrocious. But that's par for the course.

She supposedly didn't the like the way it came out. And after hearing it, I agree. But she probably loves her inane lyrics in that mess, while I happen to think those are the journal pages that she should have housetrained her doggies with.

I'm interested in what Police track the riff was "borrowed" from, I didn't know this, if its true does anyone have any clues which one?


thanks

Maybe she was smart enough to realize how much the song sucks...... Nahhhh. Actually, I recall her saying somewhere that it was the planned title track for what became TOSOTM. You know how she is with her title tracks songs ("they've gotta be killer"). Perhaps, she thought it was good but a little to sucky to be a title track. I think it's too sucky to be a B side from Street Angel.

P.S.: "Paper Doll" sucks ass, too!! UGH!!!! ( Amber)

With a little tweaking, that would make a fabulous condom commercial jingle.

make absolutely no sense whatsoever. I really do think that this song was a complete cut and paste scrapbook job from journals. Just like that other piece of **** "The Nightmare". PUKE!

On the other hand.....

"Bella Donna" is sheer greatness. I happen to like "Thousand Days". "Sister Honey" is kinda .

I hafta agree with you there. Hello Stevie?!?!? Rivers end in the sea- remember "Crystal"????

Oy.
I love many of the lyrics that have been mentioned. A river can totally be neverending for me and I see diamond snakes in black skies quote often (No, I'm not on anything ). Those I agree on till now are Sister honey, Ghosts, the desire line in Thousand Days, Listen To The Rain, but for the rest, I don't know what you're talking about.

Oh come on... are you suddenly become unaware of metaphors? What's so wrong with them?
