I'm using one of Fish's lyrics for an English Class project. I love the way he plays with meaning in words (to write my rites to right my wrongs). I think I've narrowed it down to Script for a Jester's Tear and Forgotten Sons, but am open to advice and opinion. Other potentials are Fugazi, Incubus, The Web.
Which is your favorite? Which would you suggest I use? Any other similar non Fish lyricist suggestions? ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

I would use Fugazi, the meaning of the lyrics changes mid way through the song and I find that cool. Forgotten Sons is also a good choice due to the Northern Ireland/Terrorism subject matter. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Fugazi - there's Shakespeare AND Coleridge mixed in with Fish's own poetry.
Good luck untangling that lot! ------------- The important thing is not to stop questioning. |
