thisyearsgirl Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 file this under the "i don't know if anyone other than me cares" file: so, i just happened to be rereading tweedy's poetry book adult head and the poem entitled 'unlikely japan' caught my eye. in the poem, i noticed lyrics that appear in the final track ('wanted') on loose fur's current release. i have yet to hear 'impossible germany' to know if any lyrics from the aforementioned poem appear in the song, but i do know from previous posts that the main chorus line is "impossible germany, unlikely japan"... here's the poem, for those of you interested. hope i'm not breaking any rules by typing it here, but i'm assuming it's ok since song lyrics are often posted. Unlikely Japan when I say that she's the rapistthat really isn't what I meanit was all in my imaginationto be claimed too easily with almost loving force of willwhat would have been given sadlywithout deceiving me with skillshe was still only takingwhat I should give more carefully (but now) religion enters ingod cracks through her moist skinand twirls from her batonher hair suggests a roller skate he whispers through her perfumejust above shallow watery surfacesripples with action lovelikethere is no voice so thin she knows what she wantsthat she wants what she knowsshe wants this to mean nothing and that sounds fair to mea made-by-hand halo and new-fashioned wings she is blind to be an angel that's rare to beshe's not so well roundedshe has points you don't seeshe does whatever she wants(and I swear)she wanted me personally, i think this poem is brilliant, as is the song "wanted" that shares its lyrics with it.

Gobias Industries Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 impossible germany has no relevant lyrics with Wanted/Unlikely Japan except for the title, Unlikely Japan, which appears as a hook of sorts in the new tune. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mpolak21 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I love that poem in Adult Head and was pretty excited to hear Wanted's lyrics were based on it. Wanted probably my favorite cut on Born Again in The USA. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 "Impossible Germany" (with solo in middle) The version with the hardcore jam at the end is a billion times better. Impossible Germany (with solo at the end) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MWB Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 The version with the hardcore jam at the end is a billion times better. Impossible Germany (with solo at the end) I think so too, but didn't have it up on YSI anymore. But now they're both up, so everyone can compare and contrast! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
