Given the turn towards the poetical that this group has taken in recent >>weeks, I thought that I would lay out my ten favourite lines / couplets / >>stanzas from The Doors.
how amusing.
A bit juvenile, I know.
much like Morrison's works.
And to make it worse, I've crossposted into a
couple of the poetry groups.
how jolly. one for all and all for one.
So sue me.
why? you are expressing yourself in usenet, the last haven of the true essence
of the freedom of speech. we should salute you, not sue you.

Lost, in a Roman wilderness of pain...
And all the children are insane
when coupled with the opening of Apocalypse Now, it's quite chilling. on it's
own it's pretentious as all get out. Coppola's the real artist of this creat
juxtaposition. i love that word.
and i always thought it "roamin'" wilderness of pain? i need to listen again.

The sidewalk crouches at her feet.
Like a dog that begs for something sweet
gimme Johnny Cash singing "Blistered." now that's lustful words!

Let's swim to the moon, uh huh, let's climb through the tide,
Penetrate the evening, that the city sleeps to hide
that the city sleeps to hide is amusing.

Not to touch the earth
Not to see the sun
Nothing left to do, but...
Run, run, run
um, this is not great writing. i know you like it and all, and that's cool, but
this isn't even songwriting, let alone poetry.

What was that promise that you made?
Why won't you tell me what she said?
it was a catchy tune.

5.
I took a trip down to L'America
To trade some beads for a pint of gold
i hated this song. nothing personal, but it's one of the most overblown pieces
he ever wrote. the lyrics, i mean, he didn't write much of the music.

I tell you this:
No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn
wasting the dawn? i think teenagers have been using that line since the dawn of
poetry writing time.

I'll tell you about Texas radio and the big beat...
Soft driven, slow and mad, like some new language
i thought Manzerak actually wrote the lyrics to that song, that Morrison simply
sang the song?

1.
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall...
whenst in college, SO long ago, this is what we used to say as we were leaving
our old and long-halled apartment.
