3 populærmusikalske meta-hymner

1. The Beatles: Only a Northern Song

If you're listening to this song
You may think the chords are going wrong
But they're not
He just wrote it like that

When you're listening late at night
You may think the bands are not quite right
But they are
They just play it like that

It doesn't really matter what chords I play
What words I say or time of day it is
As it's only a Northern Song

It doesn't really matter what clothes I wear
or how I fare or if my hair is brown
When it's only a Northern Song

If you think the harmony
Is a lttle dark and out of key
You're correct
There's nobody there
And I told you there's no one there

2. WAR: This Funky Music Makes You Feel Good

This Funky Music Makes You Feel Good
This Funky Music Makes You Feel Good
This Funky Music Makes You Feel Good
This Funky Music Makes You Feel Good
This Funky Music Makes You Feel Good
This Funky Music Makes You Feel Good
This Funky Music Makes You Feel Good
This Funky Music Makes You Feel Good
This Funky Music Makes You Feel Good
This Funky Music Makes You Feel Good
 
3. Pulp: Something Changed

I wrote this song two hours before we met.
I didn't know your name or what you looked like yet.
Oh I could have stayed at home and gone to bed.
I could have gone to see a film instead.
You might have changed your mind and seen your friends.
Life could have been very different but then,
something changed.
Do you believe that there's someone up above?
Does he have a timetable directing acts of love?
Why did I write this song on that one day?
Why did you touch my hand and softly say.
Stop asking questions that don't matter anyway.
Just give us a kiss to celebrate here today.
Something changed.
When we woke up that morning we had no way of knowing,
that in a matter of hours we'd change the way we were going.
Where would I be now if we'd never met?
Would I be singing this song to someone else instead?
I dunno but like you said
something changed.
