Buying New Soul Lyrics

Artist: Porcupine Tree
Album: Recordings

Dried up, a guitar upon my knee
I should have sold out when the devil came for me
Dig a hole and throw it out to sea
Break the code, how happy I could be

I still wave at the dots on the shore
And I still beat my head against the door
I still rage and wage my little war
I'm a shade and easy to ignore

White wall, I had to paint a door
I always find that I've been through it before
Close it up and throw away the key
Break the code, how happy I could be

I woke up and I had a big idea
To buy a new soul at the start of every year
I paid up and it cost me pretty dear
Here's a hymn to those that disappear

What a hero! Steven Wilson's struggle against his soul which wants to sell itself to the lucrative Pop music. Rock on progressive!

dude. this has nothing to do with anything u have said. its plainly a song about pop music "artists" . how none of them have talent and stuff in that catergory. alot of transcendentalism in it 2. thanks and cheers

Joe Smie: you haven't listened to "Insurgentes" apparently...

Opinions vary. Only Steve knows, now doesn't he?

Where the hell do you hear (I bang my head against the door) I clearly hear (I still beat my head against a wall)

dudie, its "i still beat my head against the wall" and not " i still beat my head against the door"
