Тексты песен «Poor Old Lu»
Poor Old Lu - Enough
One of the more peculiar things we've done is in this song. We always liked the bridge of our song 'Never Said', from our 1992 release Star-Studded-Super-Step, so we decided to use it again. Really. We just placed that...
Poor Old Lu - For The Love Of My Country
The thing that sticks out about this song, of course, is the very quiet beginning until it really kicks in. A lot of fun. As was the rest of Straight Six, this song was written entirely in the studio as we spent a month...
Poor Old Lu - Friday To Sunday
Liner notes go here... eventually Darkness fell across the land Our hope fell in the sand And there it was Though for certain we stood still The earth shook and spilled Then gave it up Could we believe our eyes When...
Poor Old Lu - Hello Sunny Weather
This song is probably most notable (to me) for being very much *below* my normal singing range. The out-of-range vocals reminds me, I suppose, of 'Untitled' off of The Cure's 1989 release Disintegration, an incredible...
Poor Old Lu - Hope For Always
Perhaps our song with the highest "twang factor", Hope For Always was consistently a good concert song. Maybe it was the very fast tempo, the praise-ful "cry" in the lyrics, or the western theme. Who...
Poor Old Lu - I Am No Good
This song offended some. Not the music, of course, but the title and lyrics. The notion of "I Am No Good" is not particularly popular in a society where we are constantly told to "believe in...
Poor Old Lu - In Love With The Greenery
Definitely the oldest song on the album, it was originally recorded on our first album (1990), In Love With The Greenery, when we played under the name BellBangVilla. In 1989, we traveled to Germany for a mission trip...
Poor Old Lu - Joy I Had Was Joy I Sold
There isn't much to say about this song. It seems that every album we put out had some sort of "funk" track on it, and this is probably *that* track for '8th Wonder'. I never have liked this song much, but the...
Poor Old Lu - Lie, Lie, Lie
'Lie, Lie, Lie' hearkens back to those great songs of the '70's... or atleast it's supposed to. The track begins with a horrendous buzz and background noise. All just part of the special sound. We brought in Dave...
Poor Old Lu - More
As one of the last songs written for Mindsize, we chose to put it as the first song that many people would ever hear of us. It also became our very first "official" single, being packaged with Mortal's...
Poor Old Lu - My World Falls Down
Arguably the most popular Lu song - at least in concert. 'My World Falls Down' was always a slight notch up in the 'distortion' department than most of our stuff, but still fit very well. The beauty of this song might...
Poor Old Lu - Never Said
In the summer's chill We say the winter kills But we don't know ourselves Well enough to know if this is true Ask a question here And get an answer there Well it can take us years to Get to the One that sees us thru You...
Poor Old Lu - Now
Don't dream of hours gone by Of seconds came and spent Don't wish on distant stars Of worlds come and went (Oh, what do I see?) Tripping through the moments (And to my shame) I've longed for years and months and days...
Poor Old Lu - Peapod
Another song that was first released on our 1992 independent album, Star-Studded-Super-Step. Definitely a concert favorite because of it's funk vibe and catchy, though simple, chorus. Over the years, having someone yell...
Poor Old Lu - Praying For The Perfect World
I see, You are merciful I see, You are kind I see, You are full of love That is far beyond my mind I hope, for strength to stand I hope, to be the man that I should be I hope, that You will embrace These little ones,...
Poor Old Lu - Puddlegum
And then the rain falls down Into welcome hands on my lips And in the distance i see clearer skies Oh, and i wonder do they come for me Majestic kingdom fall on me Lie me down and make me see Right above me the eye of...
Poor Old Lu - Rail
Definitely not the usual way to start an album, but by this time we were doing things our own way, and not for booming record sales. The song was written as is (long intro and all), but the decision to put it at the...
Poor Old Lu - Receive
As I look back, 'Receive' is one of the most complete and well-rounded songs we had. Unfortunately, we only played a handful of shows after "8th Wonder" was released, so it never became a huge concert hit that...
Poor Old Lu - Revolve
It promises much It promises you'll never be cold The words are such As to turn you until you are sold And walk in this rut And run in the ground where we know Have the lights gone dim In the light of this sin? Am I...
Poor Old Lu - Ring True
'Ring True' is probably the most "intentionally" worshipful song that Lu has. Written just before recording 'Sin' (and finished up in the studio), it is probably most notable for its raw sounds, catchy groove,...
