Ted's Song of the Week - 3/09/05



Cells
The Servant
The Servant

The first time i encountered this song, I was watching the trailer for the new movie, "Sin City". With an array of powerful imagery and the throbbing beats of "Cells", the trailer captivated me and I found myself watching it repeatedly. I located the artist behind the music after some checking around and found The Servant, a band described to be the love child of Ian Curtis and the Cure. "Cells" is comprised of a dark rhythmic pulse and crescendos of soaring guitars. I have no idea how the movie will turn out, but i found the song sexy enough for me to crave a cigarette afterwards.

Lyrics:
It'll all click when the mortgage clears
All our fears will disappear
Now you go to bed
I'm staying here
I've got another level that I want to clear
My skin feels like orange peel
My eyes have been vacuum-sealed
My organs move like a squirm of eels
We should be more adventurous with our meals
They annoy me those who employ me
They could destroy me
They should enjoy me
We eat chinese off our knees
And look for each other in the TV screen

The sun goes up and the sun goes down
I drag myself into the town
All I do I want to do with you
Everyday I'm at my desk
At my desk, I'm like the rest
All I do I want to do with you

On the city's skin they move on mass
Like a rash on the back of a manky cat
Now in I go like a fool
I can't resist dipping in the pool
I watch them watch me I watch them too
Across the street across the room
I dress myself like a charcoal sketch
My eyes are brown and my hair's a mess
They annoy me those who employ me
They could destroy me
They should enjoy me
We eat Chinese off our knees
And look for each other in the TV screen

The sun goes up and the sun goes down
I drag myself into the town
All I do I want to do with you
Everyday I'm at my desk
At my desk I'm like the rest
All I do I want to do with you

The sun goes up and the sun goes down
I drag myself into the town
All I do I want to do with you
Everyday I'm at my desk
At my desk I'm like the rest
All I do I want to do with you

The cells I am at the moment will soon die
But I will be here
Oh I'll still be here

The cells I am at the moment will soon die
But I will be here
Oh I'll still be here

The sun goes up and the sun goes down
I drag myself into the town
All I do I want to do with you
Everyday I'm at my desk
At my desk I'm like the rest
All I do I want to do with you

The sun goes up and the sun goes down
I drag myself into the town
All I do I want to do with you
Everyday I'm at my desk
At my desk I'm like the rest
All I do I want to do with you

Everyday, everyday, everyday...
