the saints are coming...

...and they are bringing some bedraggled little punks with them:



[mp3]
the saints are coming - the skids


buy music by the skids.

the saints are coming, the saints are coming / i say no matter how i try, i realise there's no reply / a drowning sorrow floods the deepest grief / how long now / until a weather change condemns belief / the stone says / this paternal guide once had his day / once had his day....

full lyrics / background on the skids.

thanks to u2 east link for the photo and mp3.

u2 recorded that skids song with green day. they will debut it on monday night football next week and sell it to raise funds for music rising. playing music. helping out new orleans. woot woot. i think that's awesome.

i really do not like green day's music. at all. i do not like them in a house / i do not like them with a mouse / i do not like them here or there / i do not like them anywhere / i do not like them near the edge / but this is a stupid rant / and i can't even rhyme / and i can't wait to see u2 on stage / even if green day will be on it, too / plus, i know it's for charity / so i'll shut up now.

Wow. That's the worst fake poem/rhyme you've ever written. Thus, I laughed hysterically, but was a bit perplexed by all the Green Day hate...

"I do not like them near the Edge..."

how about...

'I think I'll go and trim a hedge.'

yes - your rhyme is way better. i was going to try to do a total rewrite of green eggs and ham, but i'm WAY too lazy.

i don't hate green day. i just don't like their music.

OR,

("I do not like them near the Edge")


'I think i'll jump over a ledge"

Meh. Too morbid?

I wasn't a big Green Day fan until I heard American Idiot (about 2 years after it was released, but hey, sometimes I'm slow to catch on). What a great album.

I loved the late- great- Stuart Adamson (the Skids & Big Country), by why is this song only on Rhapsody??? that completely sucks... I just want the song, not Rhapsody crap.

Hell, I'll even donate to get it...

I agree. I think that Rhapsody sucks. Not mac compatible. Not the best choice for the bands to make on this one. The mp3 is around and available in forums, but I am not going to post it.

WHY?? green day are the best band in the world! yeah, yeahh.. i`m a huge fan, but they are good, if you don't like punk rock you mustn't say anything cuz you hate punk rock, but if you LOVE punk rock i don't understand =( think about it! Green Day rlz!

just so you know..the video and song The Saints are Coming are available on Green Days Official Fansite. Free too!! www.greenday.com...
and, fi to those who dislike this great American band. They've come along way to making "punk" and "indie" music in its purest form found.
Just my opinion of course.

OK, so you dont like Green Day
Why make up a crappy rhyme about the fact you dont like them? What's the point?
Nevermind
