Mercury Rev - Tonite It Shows Lyrics
Into a dream, I took a turn, an' promised t' return
Th' way we were, th' way we met, th' way I lit your cigarette
Th' way it trailed, into a stream, an' lay down between...
You had t' choose, a side t' love, an' divide yerself in two
But you forget, where th' road goes, an' tonight it shows...
Into your soul, I tried t' climb, but found th' hole t' high
For me t' leave, th' way I'd learned, an' found I couldn't turn
Th' way th' trees, an' fallin' rain, remind me in a way...
Th' way you were, th' day we met, th' way I lit your cigarette
Th' way it changed, into a strange, cole porter phrase
But you forget, how th' song goes, an' tonight it shows...

Mercury Rev Tonite It Shows Comments
2:33 onwards till the end, the music takes on a different level. Superlatively creative.
Missing seeing these lot live is like missing out on seeing the Doors live. I promise you. They are at their prime right now. They shall not become worse with age; merely more lovable.
devastating. (remember you mary kate)

It would have been in the late '90's... they were still a guitar-driven, heavily psychedelic band in the early '90's, with David Baker on vocals.

Me too. Sad. I heard this by chance on an NME compilation tape when it came out. I was drawn to it, even though I knew Mercury Rev's first album, which was radically different than this. Anyway, I ended up hearing this on the radio in Switzerland with...the "one". driving through the Alps in the evening. I was shocked to hear it in a foreign country. Sadly, it was prophetic to the relationship with her, the mother of my child. I have still, nor think I will ever recover. A song that says it ALL.
whose voice is it?
Jonathan
The lyric is "walking silver wall". I wrote it.
@Useless2112 lol you wish
@slymanward
The line is "walking civil war."
@slymanward "the way you were/ long before/ you were a walking civil war" - it's a great lyric
@Useless2112 bravo!
My favourite part of this song is near the end when the those beautiful ascending violins kick in. Did they ever perform live with a full orchestra? If so, this song would sound amazing!
I wrote this song.
splendida!
I love this song. I have heard it since I was a little baby. My dad said he heard this song on a talk show in the early 90's. It should have made it n=big time. I love this song. It makes me think of the past. Ive herad it over 1,00 times. Its on my iPod!!!
This is such a prophetic description of the end of my last relationships.... really. Even the lightin' cigarrete verse.....
It's anything near 'fantastic' this song. Sometimes it can bring me tears to the eyes....
