I would have dropped "You're right I was wrong" and "Because of you" in favour of "Decadent wish" and "Unsaid". Then the album's pretty much perfect for me. I found those other two songs lacking, but the b sides were terrific.

"Because Of You" is a quality track - Meat's delivery of '...this is larger than life...' is quintessentially Meaty, if you know what I mean ... I think we are all agreed that "You're Right I Was Wrong" is B-side material. Meanwhile, what on earth is "Decadent Wish" doing, being tucked away on a B-side?! It grabs your attention from the off, and sweeps you into its tide. That funny messy middle-bit almost ruins the whole thing - thankfully, almost, but not quite (see also that synthesiser noodling on the otherwise marvellous 'Good Girls Go To Heaven').

I'm interested in getting hold of both Decadent Wish and Unsaid in CD quality. Can you get them anywhere else besides eBay or Amazon at a decent-ish price for Australia? Thanks!!!

RSG · 14 Mar 2012, 13:21

I may have Couldn't Have Said It Better single laying around. It has 'Unsaid' and a radio edit of CHSIB and a music video on it. You can have it, no money for it. I'll have to find it.

CarylB · 14 Mar 2012, 13:23

I have some copies of the CD with Did I say That, Decadent Wish and Lawyers, Guns and Money. I will be putting them on the Loafdom for the Turtle website in the next week or so to raise money for The Painted Turtle. They will be priced at $11 US plus 68p postage within the UK or $3 postage overseas. All the money raised apart from postage costs will go to TPT.

You're sure? I'm happy to pay you something for it.

RSG · 16 Mar 2012, 15:06

I found it; the jewel case is in rough used condition however the disc runs smoothly. We can discuss getting this to you through inbox. We can discuss how I can send this to you. May have to send it in April so I can save a little cash.

drewhiggins · 16 Mar 2012, 15:38

That's alright, I can wait 'til then. Thanks so much for the help.

"Decadent Wish"(

), "Unsaid"(

)? Of course - they are one of the best songs Meat recorded. I would choose not only "You're Right I Was Wrong" but also "Why Isn't That Enough" and "Do It" and send them into non-existence.

glockenspiel · 25 Mar 2012, 13:27

I've never really got into 'Unsaid' - maybe I should give it another whirl. 'Why Isn't That Enough'is a great record - can't fault it.

I agree. I also think "Why Isn't That Enough" is a wonderful song with great meaning, and really liked Meat's version "Do It". Even if I didn't, I wouldn't send them into "non-existence" .. but then I don't really appreciate Picasso personally, and wouldn't ban his work from any gallery .. nor take a knife to it

(Nice metaphor Meat

) I just accept it's not for me because I haven't managed to understand it.

Has somebody besides Meat sing Do It?

It's not a metaphor because he said that would be LIKE someone slashing a picasso. That makes it a simile.

hello!

Thanks .. actually, I do understand the difference between metaphor and simile. I just didn't realise the level of grammar required here was so exacting

.. and frankly as "metaphor" is the word Meat's been using in so many interviews, I thought the term would work for most readers here. Metaphor or not, it referred to those who would send a song that doesn't appeal to them into "non-existence", which was my point, that I think most would have understood.

However I stand corrected. Now you might want to turn your skills to the spelling and punctuation on the forum generally.

I think they are:

Oh now lover, hungry lover
We devour each other
I should run for cover
But you keep turning water to wine
Dangerous and yet divine
You back me in a corner with your sugar and lace
In every breathless night there's less and less escape
And you're the ultimate confection here at heaven's gate
And I pray, I pray that you'll be mine

'Cause I know you, are a decadent wish
A siren's call with a terminal kiss
And I'd give it all for one more taste of your lips
If I crash on the shore I'll be yours
If I crash on the shore I'll be yours

Oh now far from being perfect
Unions of the spirit
Skating on the surface of something pure and genuine
Dangerous and yet divine
Now you're tired of my defenses and your grip's too tight
You know I'm going under, oh but it feels so right
If it's wrong it doesn't matter 'cause I'm satisfied
And I pray, I pray that you'll be mine

'Cause I know you, are a decadent wish
A siren's call with a terminal kiss
And I'd give it all for one more taste of your lips
If I crash on the shore I'll be yours
If I crash on the shore I'll be yours

You can't even touch my body
I can't even touch your soul
But how do you know, I bet on me
To turn you on again
I need to turn you on again

'Cause I know you, are a decadent wish
A siren's call with a terminal kiss
And I'd give it all for one more taste of your lips
If I crash on the shore I'll be yours
'Cause I know you, are a decadent wish
A siren's call with a terminal kiss
And I'd give it all for one more taste of your lips
If I crash on the shore I'll be yours
If I crash on the shore I'll be yours
If I crash on the shore I'll be yours
If I crash on the shore I'll be yours
And I'd give it all, yes I'd give it all
And I'd give it all for just a taste of your lips

You are a decadent wish is a nice metaphor

I've always thought it was "And you're the ultimate confession here at heaven's gate".

With all the food and drink references in the first verse though, you're probably right.

I think he's wrong about "confession" though. That makes little sense, whereas "confection" fits perfectly with the references to sugar and lace.

duke knooby · 27 Mar 2012, 01:13

though confession would fit perfectly with the references to heavens gate, confection would perhaps fit better with the song title...

i think it's confession...since it makes a bit more sense to say that you'd confess to being with this person when asked at the 'pearly gates' even though it's akin to have been with the devil.

Plus Mike Duff, co-writer of the song, has it on his site as confession...http://www.michaelduff.com/lyrics.html#dec

there's a very good acoustic version that he performs to be found somewhere as well.

Shame we can't ask Meat. He said he wrote most of the lyrics
