two songs

Hey guys, I know we're meant to be posting text and visual research, but I have two songs I keep listening to that we might be able to do something with. I don't know what. I just had an impulsive reaction to these, that they "fit" with what they're doing, but not much thought has gone into it....

Radiohead - "I Will (No Man's Land)"
http://www.sendspace.com/file/ssg7ja

i will
lay me down
in a bunker
underground
i won’t let this happen to my children
meet the real world coming out of your shell
with white elephants
sitting ducks
i will
rise up
little babies eyes eyes eyes eyes...


Sigur Rós - "Heysátan (Haystack)"
http://www.sendspace.com/file/t9r0w5

Heysátan
Höfðum þau hallí ró
En ég sló
Eg sló tún
Eg hef slegið fjandans nóg
En ég sló
Heysátan
Þá fer að fjúka út
Ut í mó.. (ég dró)
Heyvagn á massey ferguson
Því hann gaf undan
Og mér fótur rann... Andskotann
Eg varð undan
Og nú hvíli hér
Með beyglað der
Og sáttur halla nú höfði hér

translation:
The stack of hay
Had them all calm
But I mowed
I mowed fields
I have mowed fucking enough
But I moved
The stack of hay
Then begins to blow out the door
Out into the field (I dragged)
A wagon of hay on a Massey Ferguson
'Cause he gave in
And I slipped... fuck
I was first
And now rest here
With a folded cap
And now loll my head here, content

Funny how it's such a pretty song, but they snuck those "fuck"s in there...

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy these. Looking forward to reading everyone's posts!
