I get in the car to drive to work this morning. . and as soon as i start the engine. . at the hundredth meridian comes in on the radio.

I get in the car to drive home from work later on, and as soon as I start the engine. . at the hundredth meridian comes in on the radio.

It has to be a sign.

Me debunk an American myth?
And take my life in my hands?
Where the Great Plains begin at the hundredth meridian
At the hundredth meridian where the Great Plains begin

Driving down a corduroy road,
Weeds standing shoulder high
Ferris wheel is rusting off in the distance

[Chorus]

At the hundredth meridian
At the hundredth meridian
At the hundredth meridian where the great plains begin

Left alone to get gigantic
Hard, huge, and haunted
A generation so much dumber than it's parents
Came crashing through the window

A raven strains along the line of the road
Carrying a muddy, old skull the wires show their approval
Off down the distance

[Chorus]

I remember, I remember buffalo And I remember Hengelo
It would seem to me
I remember every single fucking thing I know
[
If I die of Vanity, promise me, promise me
That if they bury me some place I don't want to be
That you'll dig me up and transport me
Unceremoniously away from the swollen city breeze, garbage bag trees
Whispers of disease, and acts of enormity
And lower me slowly, sadly, and properly
Get Ry Cooder to sing my eulogy

[Chorus]
Where the Great Plains begin at
The hundredth meridian
At the hundredth meridian where the Great Plains begin

Driving down a corduroy road,
Weeds standing shoulder high
Ferris wheel is rusting off in the distance

[Chorus]

At the hundredth meridian
At the hundredth meridian
At the hundredth meridian where the great plains begin

Left alone to get gigantic
Hard, huge, and haunted
A generation so much dumber than it's parents
Came crashing through the window

A raven strains along the line of the road
Carrying a muddy, old skull the wires show their approval
Off down the distance

[Chorus]

I remember, I remember buffalo And I remember Hengelo
It would seem to me
I remember every single fucking thing I know

If I die of Vanity, promise me, promise me
That if they bury me some place I don't want to be
That you'll dig me up and transport me
Unceremoniously away from the swollen city breeze, garbage bag trees
Whispers of disease, and acts of enormity
And lower me slowly, sadly, and properly
Get Ry Cooder to sing my eulogy

Too much time on your hands!

Not to be a dick, but I think we all know the words already. :thumb:

I bet you couldn't recite the entire song off the top of your head.
Anyways. . the thread wasn't that serious. . but say somebody did believe that I somehow was receiving some crazy message. . it's a lot easier to deduce one when the lyrics are right there. Like an interpretation.

Anyways, you are a dick.

The sign was meant for me. If I die of 'vanity'...

I just bought a beautiful antique vanity. The ride out there was 75 miles, I endured getting stuck in backup from 4 traffic accidents, 3 bridges, lots of highway construction and almost got hit by a tractor trailer. Then I turned around to face the entire thing again for the ride home. I finally made it home in one piece and now I have to carry it from my garage up to my bedroom. If I die of 'vanity'...

Actually, I could, as well as any other Hip song.

Yeah, but it doesn't stop you from being a dick. :lol:

Just kidding, James...

dont take this post in an argumentative rude way. . but. .

bs. . you think you could off the top of your head recite the lyrics to any hip song, from any album? not a chance. I bet gordie couldnt even do it

Hundredth Meridian off the top of my head, no problem....rapping it as fast as Gord does when they kick into double time....not a chance

Not a chance? well how can I prove it?

Not to be a dick.... but I could recite any of the lyrics from any and every Hip song that I've heard.... any day or the week.... drunk, stoned or half-asleep.... and everybody here knows that I could.... but I don't mean to be a dick.... eventhough I am.... actually, I prefer "asshole";.... it gives the impression that I know I'm a jerk but I don't really care.... whereas "dick" would mean that I was jerk and didn't realize it.... so intothenight?.... what's the message?..... cuz I've been sitting here trying to figure it out but I keep coming back to the "take my life in my hands" line.... life not going the way you like?.... Not to be a dick, of course....

I don't understand your point, intothenight. I can recite sing dozens of Hip songs beginning to end...even the long ones! Not that you would want me to, of course - can't sing worth two sh*ts - but it's easily done for any true fan.

How could you POSSIBLY decide that nobody, anywhere, could recite one of the Hip's most famous songs of all??

Exactly what I was thinking, everybody on here should be able to recite them better than the alphabet...

Yeah, I read that and thought "who couldn't?" It's like Catholics and the rosary, we all know it by heart.

i could recite any hip song day or night off the top of my head..i do it a lot..and right now i'm quite drunk, and could easily do it
