Woah! Rip off or serious luck

Post by I AM ME »

i was just listening to this Bush song called "Out of this World" one of the lyrics is "are you drowning or just waving" :wtf: is that familiar to anyone
"How can we justify spending so much on destruction and so little on life?" Matthew Good

"The white dove is gone, the one world has come down hard, so why not share the pain of our problems, when all around are wrong ways, when all around is hurt, i'll roll up in an odd shape and wait, untill the tide has turned.....with anger, i'm dead weight, i'm anchored"- IME, God Rocket (Into the Heart of Las Vegas) ^ Some say this song is about a terrorists thoughts before 911

"Pray for the sheep" Matt Good
"But it's alright, take the world and make it yours again" Matt Good

I felt it in the wind, and i saw it in the sky, i thought it was the end, i thought it was the 4th of July.

they have been going down hill for a long time after sixteen stone they released razerblade suitcase which in my opinion wasnt that good then had legal problems with their record lablel and took forever to release a third studio album and that big gap between albums lost alot of fans i think.

yeah they have been going down hill, they can make some great music, but then there's always a bunch of crap on the rest of the cd, it's like they need some more quality control or someone to tell them "Hey Gavin that song is shit!" it's kinda frustrating because they do have talent they just can't seem to cut the excess shit off their albums

"Not Waving But Drowning" by Stevie Smith:

Nobody heard him, the dead man,
But still he lay moaning:
I was much further out than you thought
And not waving but drowning.

Poor chap, he always loved larking
And now he's dead
It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way,
They said.

Oh, no no no, it was too cold always
(Still the dead one lay moaning)
I was much too far out all my life
And not waving but drowning.

They're both plagerists.

Gavin may've been referencing the older song.

It's not THAT close of a similarity, anyway, and the possibility of it being coincidence seems far more probable.. if it even matters.

in fear u should not cower,
cuz girl i will protect u,
i promise not to sex u,
and IiiiiIiiiiIiiiiiiIiiiiiIiiiiii...." - Dudez a Plenti

"all by myself
cause I don’t want to drag you down, hold you down
cause you’re a friend
i blame myself
i guess you think it’s funny now, funny now
it's such a shame..."

That's not a song. It's an extremely famous poem!
