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

    Walking like one man army
    fighting with the shadows in your head
    living out the same old moment
    knowing you'd be better off instead, if you could only
    say what you need to say

    Cut me down
    But it's you who'll have further to fall
    Ghost town and haunted love
    Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones
    I'm talking loud not saying much

    When the days
    Are cold and the cards
    All fold and the saints
    We see are all made of gold
