Blue Sky Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) http://www.mikasounds.com/ Listen to the new song from the Songs for Sorrow EP and post your thoughts! First draft: Lady Jane the river saint Special yes but lucky ain't Lady Jane said she walked on water but she never had a man to show then one day she found a fella she was eager just to let him know Lady Jane she walked on water Followed by her brand new lover who tumbled along, drownin' down below Lady Jane did not abort for legends are never made that short Now be sure when you listen to this Here's another reason why you shouldn't eat fish Convinced he'd become a creature of the sea She cut off her feet and jumped into the deep and never stopped looking for her lover below Lady Jane the river fish became the world's most wanted dish and though no man would dare to catch something whose beauty we could never match but when some member from a far away state said "I order you to get that fish's head on my plate!" they killed little Lady Jane The emperor of a distant land The only man who didn't understand that though you think you've got your prize there's another fish that has escaped your eyes Lady Jane, her lover's there swimming through the ocean with a desperate stare looking for Lady Jane looking for Lady Jane Edited May 7, 2009 by Blue Sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzie Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) Thanks, Blue Sky for the tip...I actually wanted to book my flights instead. now it seems I will have to spend my night in Excel sheets as I haven't worked much today... Anyway, Lady Jane finished... I prefer Lonely Alcoholic to this one, but I have to go now. Will be back later . UPDATE I am back.... Listened to Lady Jane once more. Love it - not matching Toy Boy but he will never be able to top that. I am sooo glad that he now really DARES TO BE DIFFERENT. WHAT's NEXT? OPERA? WOULD LOVE IT SO MUCH Edited May 8, 2009 by suzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neiobi Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 errm..what does "Lady Jane walked on the water but had no man to show" means? something like she was amazing but no one noticed???

CazGirl Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 All I have to say is that I'm pretty sure this has been Angela Carter inspired. LOL!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CazGirl Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Apart from Angela Carter's creepy stories (lol) this story almost reminds me of Greek Mythology. You know, how they usually end really said. Narcissus for example was quite sad. http://www.echo.me.uk/legend.htm Not saying the stories are anything alike, just a story about tragic love.
