Day & Age exceeded all my expectations for an album. But, I should learn not to have any expectations about the Killers. You never know what they're going to do. In the same week I discovered that Third Eye Blind released their first new tracks in 5 years. Stephen Jenkins has always been right up there with Jim as one of my favorite lyricists. Say what you will about his singing ability but Jenkins has always been one of the truest "voices" in the industry. He's fearless and often times comes off as an A-hole in his songs, he just calls it as he sees it. Red Star is one of the 3 tracks on the EP. Some sort of reminiscing love song mixed with the politically charged world we live in (almost V for Vendetta-ish). Take a look at the lyrics and hunt down the song if you like them. The police high beam froze her perfect face In white glow for a while The politic bureau's on high alert And her name showed up on file There's trouble with their war effort And she's been speaking out Checkpoint Charlie's radioing in She's compromised in doubt There's trouble with the war effort and she's crossed the party line You were so pretty in the days you spoke your mind You were so pretty oh And you were so pretty oh oh oh Well I don't know... The files have been filled The regime won't be undermined You were so pretty in the days you spoke your mind Quiet now don't make a sound The system shut us down now we find each other in the underground She had the voice once of the people now she's timid as a mouse I would kiss you on the mouth in a safe house Cause you were so pretty oh hiding out hiding out Cause you were so pretty oh hiding out hiding out Walk on by hiding out hiding out Walk on by She's a red star She's a red star Tell me how did you let them in We were silent secret agents But the resistance is wearing thin Dissent is now illegal She must pay the consequence In this thriller mystery baby You are my suspense Cause you were so pretty oh hiding out hiding out Cause you were so pretty oh hiding out hiding out Walk on by hiding out hiding out Walk on by She's a red star She's a red star You've come so far to back down now.. | |
