Public Image Ltd. - God Lyrics
I can only feel and think in the language of
Cliches others have concocted for you
Prefabricated pre-conception
Worn like the walls around you
All around you
How good to walk - with the caprice of God
How good to talk - with the caprice of God
Build your ivory tower
So you can scratch the sky
How could I forget that, you're not finished yet and that
All that you have done, still adding up the sum
This totem has some use, the total of abuse
Real life is never used as truth
Bows and arrows highly strung
Same shadow I can see right through
Whenever I picture you
How good to walk - with the caprice of God
How good to talk - with the caprice of God
An ordinary human - an ordinary mortal, and ordinary model
Build your ivory tower - so you can touch the sky
Don't hide inside the sentiment
The real test is never finished yet
Face up, collect the interest
Of all the idiots you should detest
How good to walk - with the caprice of God
How good to talk - with the caprice of God
An ordinary human - an ordinary mortal
An ordinary model

I love this song!
There's a guitar riff that happens at the end of so many bars and I recognize it from an old Pistols song--but I don't remember which.
..hallellluyaaa...
COSMIC!
I always said cosmic back when I listened to this
Coinsido con Артём Бояринцев realmente uno de mis faboritos
favorite pil song
Absolutely agree
It's amazing.
the bass line is the root note for nearly 2 measures a quick fill returning to the root - not exactly rocket science
the bass line is much like phsyco killer at begining
@Stinky95030 Ah but come on......There are limits+It's due to a lack of recognition of any limit that there are so many brutal rip off bands around now that get away with it.I don't care if a musician has to piss on an electric fence to get an original sound-but at least try!It's verrrrrry hard now to think of a list of musicians that will be remembered for originality&yes that does include Amy Winehouse (another rip off)!
@paulpaddyp Excellent observation. While this isn't the bands strongest song and representational of the eventual creative decline of Public Image Ltd., it can be said, for just about every song, therein lies the foundation of every song that has ever been written. There is nothing new under the sun.
@paulpaddyp
Wow!! nailed it. It's pretty much exactly the same bassline.
@paulpaddyp the heads music esp early on was so basic many bands be said to hav lifted the bassline drums etc. dude thats the nature of music from that era, it was more about songwriting
Is that Johnny singing while mixing on the decks?.......If it's not at the least the bassline is the most obvious rip off of a tune I ever heard.....(Talking Heads-Psycho Killer).
