Lyrics


Have you ever seen a one trick pony in the field so happy and free?
If you've ever seen a one trick pony then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one-legged dog making its way down the street?
If you've ever seen a one-legged dog then you've seen me

Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door
Then you've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before
Then you've seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?

Have you ever seen a scarecrow filled with nothing but dust and wheat?
If you've ever seen that scarecrow then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one-armed man punching at nothing but the breeze?
If you've ever seen a one-armed man then you've seen me

Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door
Then you've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before
Then you've seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?

These things that have comforted me, I drive away
This place that is my home I cannot stay
My only faith's in the broken bones and bruises I display

Have you ever seen a one-legged man trying to dance his way free?
If you've ever seen a one-legged man then you've seen me

Eminem Music Poster

This is a poster for Eminem's single "Not Afraid". I like the way in which the name of the song stands out as the letters are in a big font size. The background image of Eminem is also good as it is very big, which is very eye catching and draws people's attention to it. The poster is quite simple as it only features the name of the artist and song as well as a picture of the artist plus a parental advisory warning, due to explicit language. The song I am thinking of doing is quite a simple song, as it does not involve a huge band but rather a solo artist, so I think that the poster advertising the singer/album should be quite simplistic, maybe with a picture of the artist and the name of the album.

Joe Strummer Music Poster

This poster is for Joe Strummer's album "The Future is Unwritten". I like this poster as it features a big picture of Joe Strummer, which is using the rule of thirds as he is not directly in the centre of the poster. I also like the reviews that are positioned next to him. From this picture the green boxes are hard to read but they are reviews from music magazines saying how good the album is. Also, I think the awards that the artist has won, the text in the large brackets, are a nice touch as they encourage people to buy the album because of the awards that it has received. The use of colour correction is also good as the background is in black and white yet the important reviews and other information are in brightly coloured boxes. The use of big fonts for the name of the album and of the artist are also good as it catches people's attention.

Green Day Poster

This poster is advertising a new album by Green Day, "21st Century Breakdown". This is quite a simple poster as instead of featuring a small picture of the album cover, the main picture is of the album cover. I like this as it is "in your face" and it is very eye-catching. I also like the way in which the name of the band is in a big bold font which also helps to make the poster eye-catching. The other details, such as when it is in store and other details are in a very small font which helps make the poster more in your face as the only big words are the name of the band and album.  

Bruce Springsteen Poster

This poster shows Bruce Springsteen (front row centre) with his accompanying band, the "Seeger Sessions" band. This poster is for a special Bruce Springsteen album where is he is accompanied by a country band. The poster features the artist and band that created the album as well as the front cover of the DigiPak (bottom left hand corner). The poster also features two website links where the album can be bought from. I like the use of colour correction for the poster as the brown effect makes it seem quite old fashioned, which is good as the Seeger Sessions use old fashioned instruments and sing old fashioned songs.

Bruce Springsteen "Working on a Dream" DigiPak

I like the front cover as the lead singer is in a cartoon form, which makes the DigiPak slightly more interesting, as it is not just a real life picture of the person. Also, it seems quite mystical because he looks as though he is floating on clouds, which can be seen as a reference to the album name "Working on a Dream" as it can be seen that his idea of a "Dream" is working on clouds.

I like the way that one image is used to cover both sides of the DigiPak rather than having two separate images. 

The lyrics booklet is good as there are no big bold images but rather much more subtle ones, such as this one of the lead singer lying on hay. 

I like the way in which the lyrics are positioned around the tree. This makes the back cover slightly more interesting as the lyrics are not just in a column but are separated into two columns by a tree. The bonus album "The Wrestler" is the song that I am considering doing for my music video.

Madness "Divine Madness" DigiPak

I like the front cover of this DigiPak as it shows the members of the group pulling funny faces as well as doing a strange walk. This is good as the name of the group is "Madness" and from the front cover, the user can tell that they are "mad".

The inside of the DigiPak is good as the lyrics booklet features pictures of Madness during some of their music videos. The music video pictures are from the songs that are featured on the CD. 

These are pictures from the music videos of the songs that are on the CD. The group live up to their name with their strange but funny music videos as they reenact weird situations and dress up as women.

I like the way that the names of the songs are positioned on the back cover of h DigiPak as they are laid out in an easy-to-read way.
