[Song of the Week] Hoodoo

General info:

This song is probably one of the most love/hate songs on the sub. It was called Nina originally, if anyone knows who 'Nina' is, please comment! It was originally piano only but Matt thought it was too posh so added in the spanish-style guitar. The lyrics won 'Lyric of the Decade', a 2009 poll by Q Magazine. Morgan plays bass & Chris plays guitar during the 2006/07 live performances of the song.

Song meaning:

To quote the tdrunner025 from the previous but deleted SOTW post - "The song is obviously about a relationship. Some people think the song is about politics, but think what you will!"


Lyrics:

Come into my life
Regress into a dream
We will hide
And build a new reality

Draw another picture
Of the life you could've had
Follow your instincts
And choose the other path

You should never be afraid
You're protected
From trouble and pain
Why, why
Is this a crisis
In your eyes again?

Come to be
How did it come to be?
Tied to a railroad
No love to set us free
Watch our souls fade away
And our bodies crumbling
Don't be afraid
I will take the blow for you

And I've had recurring nightmares
That I was loved for who I am
And missed the opportunity
To be a better man

EDIT: I changed some of the wording as I got lots of flack for the informality of it. Enjoy the improved version!
