Mr. Musicface Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Hey all! I've decided to begin a new series of posts here on jambands.ca - it's Rush Lyric Of The Day. (Yes, I AM serious!) Everyday (well, everyday I get around to it, let's be honest) I'll be selecting a lyrical excerpt from the Rush catalog appropriate in some way to something that's going on, or just 'cus I think it's cool. This one is dedicated, well, everyone on the board: A world of indifference Heads and hearts too full Careless of the consequence Of constant push and pull Anger got bare knuckles Anger play the fool Anger wear a crown of thorns Reverse the golden rule Then you learn the lesson That it's tough to be so cool from "Kid Gloves", Grace Under Pressure, 1984 Peace, Mr. M.

rubberdinghy Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Why did Rush have washers and dryers working on stage behind them as they played at Sars-stock? Were they there the whole time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 This topic reeks of awesomeness. I have to admit, you beat me to the punch Mr. M. I fully support your initiative to keep one active Rush thread per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Musicface Posted October 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Hux, that's a great pic! I don't even remember that, was that in your apartment? Save that for our next caption contest, 'kay? - M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the definitive answer to this: 1) Go to http://www.rush.com/ 2) Enter the site, and go to the link for The Band. 3) Follow the Geddy link. 4) Under The Geddy Interview, select 2. It's about 3 minutes long, you have to watch the whole interview but it's worth it! - M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Just to show you I wasn't kidding, read the following and wretch: Butter Cup Butter Cup by Jewel Kilcher Transcribed by Ryan Doskocil Gee your mom looked Like shit last night Hope that tinkertoy Boyfriend tonks her right Then again I could never tell A fist fight from fun Maybe I've never really known anyone Just sat still and spit in the fire I thought I might strangle you But I couldn't find a wire You've never been the type To make your heart clear Lest someone overhear Words drown in your martini glass Entire sentences slowly drunken up But before they slipped away I swore I could've heard them say You wanted me to be your buttercup Say you need me to be your buttercup The party reached a feverish pitch Good time soldiers Drunk and in a ditch Infidelity a bomb that went off That left the world To swerve and cough Stepped over bodies Strewn like shipwrecks Love's last call Warning puke reflex Faith is for that frozen few That never met Someone quite like you Words drown in your martini glass Entire sentences slowly drunken up But before they slipped away I swore I could've heard them say You wanted me to be your buttercup Say you need me to be your buttercup Fish don't know they're short They just feel sideways And words to you are Just the same they shy away When legs and limbs are all tucked in You pull me close to you come night And I'm just like a fleshy fruit And hung from the bowl of your side Your lips may not sell or say What your eyes give away You're sweet as pumpkin pie I take the keys From your hand that stutters up Let the night air sober you up Driving home you make me pull over You press my hand gently As a four leaf clover You say sweetheart I'm a foolish man I'm ornery and I'm stubborn Like my coffee from a can But without you I would Shrivel up and die Won't you be my Won't you be my Won't you be my... Words drown in your martini glass Entire sentences slowly drunken up But before they slipped away I swore I could've heard them say You wanted me to be your buttercup Say you need me to be your buttercup Tell me you need me To be your buttercup Your buttercup Ducks, shnucks, shlucks, shucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Maybe Rush was hoping the crowd would throw change at them so that they could do their laundry? In the picture that Dinghy posted you can clearly see a frowning Geddy shouting "no nickels or pennies! they don't work in these machines!!".

Hux Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 ....actually, I think people were throwing pennies as Geddy asked the crowd what they thought Rush's "lyrics" are worth...apparantly a lot of people were pissed they didn't get change back from what they threw....
