Frequently played live of late, this is one of my faves of the new tracks. A number of people have told me they don't
really get into this one. But I think they're mad! This is a choon! The live version is a lot faster than the studio
version, which gutted me a bit. Because I loved the live one and thought changing it would mean hurting it.
However, the studio version of Dollars & Cents IS excellent. There's more backing vocals than in the live one, not to mention
fantastic strings pulling and ripping through the track.
And though the eerie guitar isn't as noticeable, Thom's moaning is all the more dominant for it. An excellent track both
ways. |
It ain't nothing to talk about Be constructive There are weapons we can use Be constructive with your blues Even when it's only warnings Even when you're talking war games Why don't you quiet down? Why don't you quiet down? Why don't you quiet down? Why don't you quiet down? Quieten down All over the neighbourhood You're going to remember this day All over the neighbourhood Better times when I could stand it, babe It's all over the streets tonight It's all over the streets so let me out of here It's all over the streets tonight It's all over the streets so let me out of here It's all over We are the dollars and cents And the pounds and pence And the mark and the yen And yeah, we're gonna crack your little souls We're gonna crack your little souls (quieten down) (why don't you quiet down?) We are the dollars and cents And the pounds and pence And the mark and the yen And yeah, we're gonna crack your little souls Crack your little souls (why don't you quiet down?) (why don't you quiet down?) We are the dollars and cents |
