I say it means both at the same time, a play on words. Loading two meanings into one sentence. How clever. e.g. "If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?" |

It's supposed to be a play on words, I think. You think it's cry, then it turns into crying out. Tricky. A tougher one is Ozma's "Eponine." The first chorus is "Woah, my Eponine," but the second chorus segues from the first verse with "Time to put an end to all your woe, my Eponine." Clever. _________________ Scriptozoology, a screenwriting blog .. Facebook |

And did anyone notice that BW's the only track on the CD where the title isn't actually a part of the lyrics? Me neither, 'til further examination. |

I didn't know there was a pronunciation issue with the song. I mean, "Brightly" is an adverb, which would make "Wound" a verb, not a noun. Should there really even be a question? _________________ Scriptozoology, a screenwriting blog .. Facebook |

Oh, wound as in injury, derf. I hadn't even thought of that  . I suppose that I became confused because I don't pronounce wound as wow-ned, I pronounce it as, uh, wow-en'd.

I'm inclined to think the latter, as "I (am) lost at sea" sounds more correct than "Me (am) lost at sea". I guess it isn't such a bad idea to cover both  .

Should there really even be a question? to wound (woond) is a verb. just thought i would point that out. even though i am positive that it is brightly wound (wow-ned) It requires a perfect tense, using a past participle. It would be Brightly Wounded. Wound is past tense of wind. "To wound" is based on "a wound," which is a noun, by the way. granpaturtle wrote: since when does Eisley pay close attention to grammar? or any rock band for that matter... Since always. Durr.

I have another lyrics-related question, but I don't feel like starting a new thread.. In Golly Sandra, does she sing "you are my star" or "you are my scar"? I've seen it printed as both. |

It says "scar" in the booklet. _________________ Power is only pain It’s probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in.
