regarding drummond's delivery of "go to sleep", what does "kurt cobain territory" mean?
Good God man, it probably has to do with the lyrical style. Emotional self-doubt and such is more of a Cobain style of lyrical content. It's not that that hard to understand.
Good God Thanks You - but the part of the song quoted:
"Mummy please, please Mummy, look at me. And then I hear - go to sleep."
aren't those really two different subjects put together? in other words, aren't the lyrics specifically performed for "go to sleep" the first part, and the "and then I hear..." is from the original "last train"? either way, it's still nowhere near as "emotional" as "disaster fund collection", at least to my ears

Actually now that I think of it, the line probably sounds like sometihng one of those numetal "i was abused as a child and sign about my awful life and suicide but i'm making millions thanks to 14 year olds buying my records" bands. -- Loki Ambrodious von Esling -|- RELST8 - http://www.relst8.net |
If we're discussing dark and disturbing lyrics, I think the content of "All You Need Is Love" is far more poignant. Just my 2c...

Nobody has ever heard the original "last train" (we had this discussion some weeks ago). But the unreleased "Go To Sleep" dates farther back than the oldest KNOWN version of "Last Train". These lyrics might all be recorded for "Go To Sleep", and then later reused in klf08 (the oldest known versions of LTTT). Ulrik
