Mudslide
Unveiling the Muddy Reflections: The Bluetones' Metaphorical Tale
Lyrics
There's a mudslide,
There's a natural disaster, a mudslide occurring.
Slippin' down to cover the hillside
The mudslide is progressing down the hillside.
And you can bet it's gunna seep into your house
It's likely to enter homes.
In through your eyes
It'll affect people's perception ("eyes").
And out your dirty little mouth
People will speak about it, perhaps negatively.
There's a mudslide
Reiteration of the mudslide's presence.
A monoeyed browntied bonified mudslide
Descriptive details about the mudslide, metaphorically
And what s the odds that you're enjoying one right now?
Questioning if people are currently experiencing a similar situation.
From the comfort of your favourite easy couch
People may be unaware or indifferent while sitting comfortably.
And the man said:
Introduction of a character concerned about cleanliness.
How'm I gunna get my liscence clean
Repetitive concern about cleaning ("license") without a solution.
How'm I gunna get my
-How'm I gunna get my
-How'm I gunna get my liscence clean
-How'm I gunna get my
-How'm I gunna get my
-There's a mudslide,
Restating the occurrence of the mudslide.
Slippin' down to cover the hillside
Repetition of the potential impact on homes and people's perception.
And you can bet its gunna seep into your house
-In through your eyes
-And out your dirty little mouth
-There's a mudslide
Reiteration of the mudslide.
A monoeyed browntied bonified mudslide
Descriptive details about the mudslide, emphasizing its impact.
And what s the odds that you're enjoying one right now?
Questioning if people are aware they're affected by it while being comfortable.
From the comfort of your favourite easy couch
-The scum's gunna keep on risin'
Metaphorically comparing the rising negativity to a rising tide.
It swallows up the sun shining new horizon
-And everywhere you look
-It's the same disguises
-The lunatics it seems, from the whole asylum
-The scum's gunna keep on risin'
Reiteration of the overwhelming negative influence and a comparison to an asylum.
It swallows up the sun shining new horizon
-And everywhere you look
-It's the same disguises
-The lunatics it seems, from the whole asylum
-There's a mudslide,
Repeating the occurrence of the mudslide.
Slippin' down to cover the hillside
Emphasis on the impact and nature of the mudslide.
There's a mudslide
-A monoeyed browntied bonified mudslide
-A monoeyed browntied bonified mudslide
-A monoeyed browntied bonified mudslide
Reiteration and emphasis on the intense nature of the mudslide.
