lol the lead singer says "I feel like pink floyd!" in the middle of the song..

( an LSD reference )

His name was Mark Hollis. He died of cancer 4 years ago. I met Mark Hollis twice, both times backstage at their concerts.

I painted two different Elvis portraits for him. He was a huge Elvis fan.

( I've only met two celebrities that weren't gigantic Elvis fans, out dozens and dozens of celebrities I've met who absolutely loved elvis. It's an Insider thing)

Not only were they bandmates, but they were also FRIENDS...

BLOKES.....

Tripping their balls off

Such a shameto believe in escape

A life on every face

And that's a change

'Til I'm finally left with an eight

Tell me to relax, I just stare

Maybe I don't know if I should change

A feeling that we share

It's a shame

(Such a shame)

Remember me with rage, it's a shame

(Such a shame)

Number me in haste (such a shame)

This eagerness to change

It's a shame

The dice decide my fate

And that's a shame

In these trembling hands

My faith tells me to react, I don't care

Maybe it's unkind that I should change

A feeling that we share

It's a shame

(Such a shame)

Remember me with rage, it's a shame

(Such a shame)

Number me in haste (such a shame)

This eagerness to change

Such a shame

Tell me to relax, I just stare

Maybe I don't know if I should change

A feeling that we share

It's a shame

(Such a shame)

Remember me with rage, it's a shame

(Such a shame)

Number me in haste, it's a shame

(Such a shame)

Write it across my name

(Such a shame)

This eagerness to change

Such a shame

This song is actually aboutanimal rightsand the role we play in their fate

Baby, life's what you make it

Can't escape it

Baby, yesterday's favorite

Don't you hate it

Baby life's what you make it

Don't back date it

Baby, don't try to shade it

Beauty is naked

Baby, life's what you make it

Celebrate it

Anticipate it

Yesterday's faded

Nothing can change it

Life's what you make it

"Funny how I blind myself.."

I never knew

i would sometimes I would 'play the part'..... afraid to lose

(wearing horseblinders, not facing the truth, saying he loved animals, but still clinging to the meat eating diet)

I'd tell myself "what could you do?"

convince myself....

(convincing himself of his powerlessness to make change)

It's about the realization that half measures simply won't do, and he became a vegan.

It's about animal rights yes, but more importantly this is his personal story about where he finally confronted himself, and realized he should put his money where his mouth was...

He had become enlightened through lsd, and he completely quit eating meat and using animal products
