Poetry in Song Lyrics

Homework this week requires Room 8 students to post their favorite song lyrics in the comments section...

Poetry

Poetry runs through all our lives. But perhaps the most obvious use of it, is in music. Choose a song that has some great lyrics. Using youtube, post the track on the blog. Next to the link, I would like you to write out your favourite part of the lyrics.
Here’s some from song called ‘Cortez the Killer’ by Neil Young that I really like:

And his subjects
Gathered 'round him
Like the leaves around a tree
In their clothes of many colors
For the angry gods to see
