Is that gash in your leg
Really why you have stopped?
'Cause I've noticed all the others
Though they're gashed, they're still going
'Cause I feel like the real reason
That you're quitting, that you're admitting
That you've lost all the will to battle on

Will the fight for our sanity
Be the fight of our lives?
Now that we've lost all the reasons
That we thought that we had

Still the battle that we're in
Rages on till the end
With explosions, wounds are open
Sights and smells, eyes and noses
But the thought that went unspoken
Was understanding that you're broken
Still the last volunteer battles on

Battles on
Battles on

This is my favourite song of all time. I was so happy to hear it on air. 
The play count is '52' on my iTunes. Haha.

I agree. The Lips are best live. And their most likable music is on Yoshimi.

I have uploaded a couple of songs from their Dark Side of the Moon effort. Hopefully, they will get added to the Radioparadise catalog. The Lip's interpretations are original and bring new life to the material. I heard the whole thing done live in the New Year Freakout down in Oklahoma City 12/31/2009. It was one of the very best shows I have ever seen (or ever expect to see).

Best enjoyed LIVE, if you have a chance.  Also, I'd strongly recommend their Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots which is imminently more digestible than Soft Bulletin as a place to start with their catalog, IMO.{#Cool}

From the very first chord I'm getting The Addams Family ;). Lurch! Stop playing with Thing and come here and eat your sloth brains :o)

This song sounds eerily much like a track from Tony Banks solo (Genesis) album "The Fugitive" (1983).

Woah this song is scary as hell!  Maybe we should stick with Yoshimi?

Agreed.


 

Gosh Excelsior, you seem so unhappy and miserable with all your negative imput, one has to wonder why you even tune in at all.  Guess there's always one in the group.

A very bad Queen imitation!

Great band and this is a strong album, front to back. I think more Flaming Lips are in order!

I was groovin nicely to this until the soloist started. WHy can't lead singers actually carry a tune? Is it that hard?
Agreed.

Thank you, Laurelia. This album has long been a favorite.

Cool choice from a super disc.

This has a very Moody Blues sound to it. Is that intentional?

Whoa. Like super-crunchy Moodies? i LOVE it.
