just a random thought

[rainbowdemon]

I was just sitting here playing some old Queen songs. (Imagine that!!) And it occured to me. How many rock bands have used lyrics like "fastiduous"?

:wha':

[method77]

What is "fastiduous"?

[rainbowdemon]

i don`t know but the Flying Luttenbachers?? use the word to describe their album Gods of Chaos......Weasel Walter, the drummer and leader of this Chicago ensemble promises "a more fastidious music" integrating the band's current crazed attack with his love of spacey and discordantly operatic '70s prog rock like Magma and Yes' Relayer album.. :wha':

[KiwiCoromandel]

and so does this little number by Faye Wong???......

Spring's Last Blossom* (track 1)

Every ant has a pair of eyes and a nose

Whether or not it is beautiful

Whether or not it misses by a hair

What does it matter?

Every human being cries in times of sadness

[And] eats to satisfy hunger

The difference can't be bigger than heaven and earth

It's nothing to be excited about

There's too much fascination, too little logic

[One plays] too many games

Only because of curiosity

What else would warrant

Such hysteria?

What would make one lose all hope?

Each and every idol is also this way

Once-revered idols

Disappear one by one

Who was once a sinner, who is God?

What kind of miracle do we await?

In the end I'm left alone

I can't be overly FASTIDIOUS

In the end I face myself

And don't really approve of what I see

I'd be suspicious of anyone

Who gives me the whole world

I'm elated**

Yet spring's last blossom has bloomed

Each and every person

Who is more beautiful?

Each and every person

Who is sweeter?

Each and every person

Who is easier?

It's no big deal

Every ant will remain unruffled

No matter who it brushes by

What does it matter?

Every human being will tremble with fear

On encountering someone (s)he loves

and this one...well you DID ask.....

CATS - the original London version Soundtrack Lyrics

- Bustopher Jones Lyrics

Bustopher Jones is not skin and bones

In fact, he's remarkably fat

He doesn't haunt pubs - he has eight or nine clubs

For he's the St. James's Street Cat!

He's the cat we all greet as he walks down the street

In his coat of FASTIDIOUS black

No commonplace mousers have such well-cut trousers

Or such an impeccable back

In the whole of St. James's the smartest of names is

The name of this Brummel of cats

And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to

By Bustopher Jones in white spats

In the whole of St. James's the smartest of names is

The name of this Brummel of cats

And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to

By Bustopher Jones in white spats

My visits are occasional to the Senior Educational

And it is against the rules

For any one cat to belong both to that

And the Joint Superior Schools

For a similar reason when game is in season

I'm found not at Fox's but Blimp's

I am frequently seen at the gay Stage and Screen

Which is famous for winkles and shrimps

In the season of venison I give my ben'son

To the Pothunter's succulent bones

And just before noon's not a moment too soon

To drop in for a drink at the Drones

When I'm seen in a hurry there's probably curry

At the Siamese or at the Glutton

If I look full of gloom then I've lunched at the Tomb

On cabbage, rice pudding and mutton

In the whole of St. James's is the smartest of names is

The name of this Brummel of cats

And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to

By Bustopher Jones in white

Bustopher Jones in white

Bustopher Jones in white spats

So, much in this way passes Bustopher's day

At one club or another he's found

It can be no surprise that under our eyes

He has grown unmistakably round

He's a twenty-five pounder, or I am a bounder

And he's putting on weight everyday

But I'm so well preserved because I've observed

All my life a routine, and I'd say

I am still in the prime, I shall last out my time

That's the word from the stoutest of cats

It must and it shall be spring in Pall Mall

While Bustopher Jones wears white

Bustopher Jones wears white

Bustopher Jones wears white spats!

Macavity!

and there`s this...i`ll stop now... :rolleyes:

FASTIDIOUS horses

Russian title: Koni priveredlivye

Along the ledge of the abyss, on the very edge of it,

I lash my horses out, urging them on...

Running out of air, I drink the wind, I swallow the fog,

I feel with a damned extasy that I am done for, done for!

Slow down a bit, my horses, slow down!

Don't listen to the tight whip!

But I got some FASTIDIOUS horses -

I didn't finish living, now my song will be cut short.

I will let my horses drink,

I will finish my verse -

For a moment, at least, I will stand

on the edge....

When I am gone - the hurricane will sweep me, a snowflake off the palm,

And horses will pull my sleigh at full speed on the snow that morning,

Pace yourselves, my horses,

Lengthen the way to my last shelter, even for a little bit!

Slow down, my horses, slow down!

The whip is not your overseer!

But I got some fastidious horses -

I didn't finish living, now my song will be cut short.

I will let my horses drink,

I will finish my verse -

For a moment, at least, I will stand

on the edge....

We've come in time: there is no such thing as being late for God, -

Why do then those angels sing so viciously?

Or is it a bluebell that grew numb from sobbing?

Or is it me, crying for the horses not to carry the sleigh so fast?!

Slow down a bit, my horses, slow down!

I beg you, do not tear away at such mad pace!

But I got some fastidious horses -

I didn't live enough, at least I should finish my song!

I will let my horses drink,

I will finish my verse -

For a moment, at least, I will stand

on the edge....

A couple of joints will fix that. Just make sure you don't make an illegal u-turn and be sure to take you insurance card with you.
