Spanish Sahara

Howdy folks -

How was your weekend? Mine was excellent, but as always Monday comes creeping up on you like a stranger in the night, forcing my hand again. Not to mention that last week was pretty draining for any American. So, in this most foul of spirits I submit that you check out the lyrics and music video to Foals "Spanish Sahara".

The beauty of these lyrics is that they envelope you with images, feelings and emotions. There's a story in there somewhere, but gennerally this song is about mood. And, as a teaser from their 2010 second album Total Life Forever, redefined their sound for the second decade of the 21st century. I promise I'll post some of my own stuff soon, but dedication requires recycling as well as original content. Besides, this is a great song and well worth your 7 minutes.

So I walked into the haze
And a million dirty ways
Now I see you lying there
Like a lie low losing air, air

Black rocks and shoreline sand
Still that summer I cannot bare
And I wipe the sand of my arms
The Spanish Sahara, the place that you'd wanna
Leave the horror here

Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and then it's future dust

Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and then it's future dust

Now the waves they drag you down
Carry you to broken ground
Though I find you in the sand
Wipe you clean with dirty hands

So goddamn this boiling space
The Spanish Sahara, the place that you'd wanna
Leave the horror here

Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and then it's future dust

I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am

I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am

I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am

Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and it's future dust

I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am
