I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
I saw boys, toys electric irons and t.v.s
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people

A girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children
If the black hadn't a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer threw up at the sight of that

I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlor, drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine, don't think
You knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of ma and I wanted to get back there
Yr face, yr race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, yr beautiful, I want you to walk

We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all we've got
We've got five years, what a surprise
Five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all we've got
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all we've got
We've got five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all we've got
Five years
Five years
Five years
Five years

learn to Popul Vu.

I thought that was David Bowie?

Anyway, I realize I'm posting in another dead thread (c'mon guys, I've got work and a life during the daytime and usually don't get here until after midnight, then don't post for weeks at a time), but here's my $0.02:

In high school I played video games, now I play guitar.

I am much happier now.

Lol, case closed?

I'd personally advise against acoustic though. I tried for like 6 months, got an electric and my world was all the better for it.

yes, it's David Bowie. the items in bold relate to the Popul Vu (not the freakin' band Popul Vu....the book).

threads not dead yet....it's getting better.

and yeah Jt, I would rather have an electric, but my friend convinced me that it would be easier to learn how to actually play on accoustic. also means not having to buy an amp.... *shrug*

obviously I'm having trouble making this decision myself.

!@#$%! · 04.10.2007, 08:51 AM

as long as the math remains clear...

drums > lectric > fake wood

well have fun whatever you do, whatever you do have fun. and fun. amen.

Electrics are easier on the marshmallowy fingertips of newbies, but acoustics can train you hard because they make your mistakes so obvious.

Drone makes a good point. I learned on acoustic and I found it much better to hear every mistake I made.

I'm not sure I want to train hard.

that's good to know. I think after that I might have to shut down the information intake or I'll never decide. hah

I'VE GOT STAY-PUFTS ON MAH FINGERSSS!

that is if you wanna play guitar & make music, not if you wanna RAWK

h a ha ha ha ha. but really. the guitar is nice. im just thinking that for easily achieved thrills something else is in order. something like a cheap distortion pedal and power chords.

wait-- worshipping time-wasters from the 80's is somehow the epitome of the good life, while the technologically updated versions deserve the death penalty? i sure hope you're joking!

now I feel like a dirty fucking hippie for even suggesting the whole peter paul and mary shit. I've been called out for pussing on the electric on this person's very first post.

thank you, kind firey bird, for preventing me from potentially loathing myself.

seriously though, now I'm more undecided now than I was before I posted this. by the time I'm done buying all the shit y'all recommended, I'll be in the poorhouse for sure.
