Big Wreck - The Fly And The Bowl Lyrics






I've found some comfort overhead
In your clouds
As I float in the soup
I'm left for dead, wings down
Alive till I turn around

I failed this simple test
And fell from the skies
In the bowl when I'm pressed against the side
I will rise

My navigation instruments
Are so in tune
A simple blunder got my best
Beside the spoon
Yes, I fought for my life

I failed this simple test
And fell from the skies
In the bowl when I'm pressed against the side
I will rise
I will rise

I've found some comfort overhead

Big Wreck The Fly And The Bowl Comments
  1. I.... H....

    If there was anyone in the world that could possibly at some point do a reunion tour with Soundgarden, and do Chris's vocals justice, it would be Ian Thornley. I've been a fan of Big Wreck for a couple of years now, and this dude is the real deal.

  2. 3.... ....

    Only 25 comments on this MASTERPIECE?!?!?! Ok, let me settle the ‘it sounds like..’ debate. Clearly our boys in BW listened to their fair share of the Coop in their youth. This is dripping with the tight nasal Wah pedal work of many of the solos on Welcome To My Nightmare, ad well as other albums from around that time in Alice’s career. I also detect a similar song theme parallel to those works. The dissonant guitar line seriously influenced by.. ‘Steven’. I’m just amazed how one minute he’s conjuring Steve Hunter and the next Billy Gibbons. These guys are proof our media system is dysfunctional when a band with these singing, songwriting, and virtuoso playing and composition talents are completely unknown after almost 20 years now too if I’m not mistaken. Anyway, rant over.. listening to the song again for me.. 5th time tonight?! Lol!!

  3. D.... W....

    The end progression reminds me of " I want you " from the Beatles anyone else now that I mentioned it ???

    D.... W....

    For sure!!!

    D.... W....

    I hear a little syd barrett in there at the end of the verses, too. " i will rise..."

  4. A.... Q....

    Blows me away how much this song sounds like Soundgarden. Fucking love it Ian!

  5. D.... M....

    Best song!

  6. f.... c....

    Outstanding track.

  7. p.... g....

    The patience of the build at the end...love it.

    p.... g....

    They must of been influenced by " I want you " beatles

  8. c.... t....

    I hear Nazareth's version of 'Love Hurts' in this song...similar guitar part I hear, not sure if it was intentional.

  9. N.... C....

    This is my fave so far.

  12. S.... C....

    This is a trip. They never stop making great music. Reminds me of another band, that happened to open for DreamTheater, called Big Elf. Their whole sound is like this.

  13. c.... ....

    Best current rock band in the world, and less then 1000 views right now..if this was some face tattoo kid with dyed dreads and the worst lyrics...+50 Million views. What the hell is wrong with western culture right now.

    c.... ....

    Blame youtube! In 2008 I had over 35,000 views on one of my uploads after 5 days (most US but many global views), then they changed the algorithm and 2300 views over 11 years. BS.

    Brand new 'Big Wreck' is _EXACTLY_ what my house needs for this fall! How did y'all know?? Thank you so much for all your hard work. Gonna try to get out to see ya's again. Front row centre, at my age, is what my kids are calling 'cringy'?? (like I care at my age. Heck, without 'cringy' in my youth _they_ wouldn't exist!😂) I'm _SO_ excited. I feel 20 again!! Lots of love from the Atlantic Coast 🤗🌷


    Parlee Beach New Brunswick Summer of 2000!! Was front row centre with binoculars. Cause you know, Oh what a view! *🤩+ blushing.
    Using the album that was released at the time only. This whole thing was me, in love with a band 20+ years ago. What's Changed? We all grew up that's all. My love has developed into respect & admiration for their stama, creativity & damn hard work. Here's a cheeky little thing I wrote a _long_ while ago:
    Look What I Found... memories of a fantastic day!! Do y'all remember That Song?? They were all so young & sweaty. I had to say a Prayer. The concert was, Blown Wide Open by their stellar performance! Writing this out, I feel like The Oaf. My mind has taken a Fall Through the Cracks. But How Would You Know? I'm just out here, living my life Under the Lighthouse, in good ol' Canada. Don't wanna be Overemphasizing the size of the music festival that year. It was out doors, but there were severe thunder & lightning storms _all_ weekend. The festival was cancelled & uncancelled, most bands in the line up didn't show or cancelled altogether. NOT Big Wreck though!! It was AMAZING & I'll love them forever because they rocked out.
    So glad that Big Wreck is still rocking out. Giving us fans, some new songs to jam too. Oh My, I can't wait to see them again soon. By the Way, Between You and I, it's never a Waste to create new memories for your personal scrap book of life. Moments are precious, look up more often. Life is once. Enjoy the REAL & the now. Especially, the people & places you love. Get out & live life
