Pictures by Sneaky Sound System

Artist: Sneaky Sound System
Song: Pictures

Light, of course,
Like a flicker in my left eye
Push, move,
Could be perfect if you walk by


I've got lots of pictures in my head,
You'd better not turn off the projector
And I've got lots of pictures in my head,
You'd better not save them all for later


[Chorus]
Maybe I, oh get me on fire,
Could take your picture, oh you could get one too
And maybe I, oh get me on fire!
But keep me on, don't switch me off ...


You can't fight,
Oh what we do what we
Can't do it solo,
But you've got what tickles for me


I've got lots of pictures in my head,
You'd better not turn off the projector
And I've got lots of pictures in my head,
You'd better not save them all for later


Maybe I, oh get me on fire,
Could take your picture, oh you could get one too
And maybe I, oh get me on fire,
But keep me on, don't switch me off ...


Maybe I, oh get me on fire,
Could take your picture, oh you could get one too
And maybe I, oh get me on fire,
But keep me on, don't switch me off ...


Keep me on, don't switch me off ...
Keep me on, don't switch me off ...
You'd better not turn off the projector!

well obviously nic should be commited BEFORE he does anything stupid concerning the afore mentioned band.

this song hilights the struggle in our society with the supression of ideas, represented in these lyrics as the 'pictures', the turning off of the projecter most starkly demonstrating this. the lyrisist pleading for 'her' ideas to be shown as she has 'lots of pictures in [her] head' and wishes to share them through the means of society the 'projector' where in addressing the opressor 'dont you turn of the projector' showing her dream to share ideas into the society and this darkened showdow, refered to as the 'man', attempts to cut off the flow of ideas or 'pictures'. this song is a plea to society and to the 'man' to allow the flow of ideas the 'pictures' the shared accounts of humanity and not to supress this though 'turning off the projector'.

did i actually say anything in that? i dont thinks so, well thats lit for u.
