Always found Triumphs lyrics to be secondary when compared to...well...lots. But always had a soft spot for Hold On. Amazing song. EDIT: Oops, sorry missed the joke. I get it now.  Rock on. I've got something on my mind I want you to know Rock troops are on the move It's startin' to show Paratroopers everywhere Can't you see Strategic weapons Are something we don't need... -Allied Forces Umm...riigghhht. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Nipsey88/?chartstyle=myspace02" rel="nofollow">  |

Triumph always pride themselves in meaningless lyrics depicting rock lifestyles on the road Accidentaly, once in a while a song did come through as a little more meaningfull such as the three part The city Blinding Light Show , too ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

I find most of their lyrics are Spinal Tap-esque. Follow your heart (you got to follow your hearrrrrrrrrrrt) Living for today, forget about tomorrow Follow your heart (you got to follow your hearrrrrrrrrrrt) Any other way can only lead to sorrow wow, that's deep. I always found it funny that Rick Emmet left Triumph because they were getting too overproduced and commercial sounding, only to release a solo album that was very overproduced and very commercial sounding. ... but jeez, the guy can play guitar. ------------- "they locked up a man who wanted to rule the world. the fools they locked up the wrong man." - Leonard Cohen |
