Spot the link - if you will
1) More people considering voting for the BNP
I’m not leaving the country in fear of a BNP government just yet. I acknowledge that ‘might consider voting’ is a far cry from actually voting but the article is at least mildly disturbing.
2) U2’s ’One’ tops favourite lyric poll
I take it that the people who voted for "One life, with each other, sisters, brothers"
as their favourite line from a song are not the same people who ‘might consider voting’ for the BNP - just a thought.
Oh and to all who voted for the line "I feel stupid and contagious, here we are now, entertain us" from a Nirvana’s ‘Teen Spirit’ - You are stupid. In fact I’m surprised you managed to drum up enough intelligence to work out how to vote in the poll.
And finally my plea to the world - can we please talk about music just once without mentioning Coldplay. My four year old has written lyrics less cliche ridden. What next James Blunt droning ‘You’re Beautiful.’?
My favourite lyrics? There are so many but from the top of my head you can’t beat New Model Army (‘This golden age of communication means everyone talks at the same time’) or Manic Street Preachers (‘Outside open mouthed crowds pass each other as if they’re drugged. Down pale corridors of routine where life falls unatoned’)
