Hey everybody! I’ve come out of my cave to say hello!
This song struck me when it first came out last May. I was going to over the bridge into the city, and thinking about the future –> even before they started singing about it.
Then it was like, oh what do ya know, Radiohead wrote this song for me. 🙂
I almost blogged it then, but I seem to have blogging “posters block” these last few years. Everybody asks me about it. Still. “What the hell happened Lisa? I really liked your blog.”
Well today’s the day! (Fade in trumpets rising.)
I’m going to try to post at least once a day, in the morning, about whatever I’m thinking about that morning. Lucky you!
We call upon the people
Only people have this power
and the numbers don’t decide
The system is lie
A river running dry
The wings of a butterflyand you may pour us away like soup
like we’re pretty broken flowers
but we’ll take back what is ours
we’ll take back what is oursOooh One day at a time
Complete Lyrics:
It holds us like a phantom
Touches like a breeze
Shines its understanding
See the moon is smiling
Open on all channels
I’m ready to receive
Cause we’re not at the mercy
Of your shimmerers or spells
Your shimmerers or spells
Mmm hmmm hmmm
We are of the earth
To her we do return
and the future is inside us
It’s not somewhere else
It’s not somewhere else
It’s not somewhere else
One day at a time
One day at a time
oooh
We call upon the people
Only people have this power
and the numbers don’t decide
The system is lie
A river running dry
The wings of a butterfly
and you may pour us away like soup
like we’re pretty broken flowers
but we’ll take back what is ours
we’ll take back what is ours
Oooh One day at a time
