The Bluemoon Song Cup 2024 - Round 4/M7 - P280 - The Cranberries (Zombie) v The Cult (She Sells Sanctuary)

It's all over. I had a one-liner lined up about Black Grape being crushed but with nothing much between them, I can't use it!

Don't worry, the quality of song improves soon.

Wussy - Airborne
v
Suede - It Starts and Ends With You
 
I've never heard of Wussy - but I enjoyed that. And love the comment she makes about choosing the name "It looks good on a t-shirt." :-)

Suede - meh. I do like the first seven lines

Like a cause without a martyr,
Like an effigy of balsa,
Like a hairline crack in a radiator,
Leaking life
I shout out but it just spins faster,
I'd crawl out but my knees are water,
I cling on by my nails to this sweet disaster

Someone had a great poetry idea - create metaphors and then building on them in the following lines - cause/shout, effigy/crawl, crack/disaster

and then didn't know where to go with it or build on it - so stuck it on the front of something else - and then tries to pick it up again in the last stanza - but gets stuck on two ideas and does nothing with the third.
 
Says a lot ab the demographic of the forum (myself included) that we are struggling for decent nominations post 2005 :-)

I found it really hard and I'm not overly enamoured with what I ended up picking to be fair - more a decent song with added sentiment..........
