the Table and the Chair  just wondering if there was any significance to the use of this poet/poem in "Beautiful Night"  SOTT and was it Sheila's idea or Prince's? and what's a transcen-something rap?
any who,  Edward Lear's cool!! http://www.nonsenselit.or...table.htmlmusic is its own reward - Sting | |

I seem to remember Sheila commenting somewhere that Prince had heard her recite that poem (nursery rhyme) and liked it, so he asked her to include it in the song. I haven't read DMSR yet tho, so I could be wrong.  | |

{Poem by Edward Lear titled "The Table And The Chair"}
I. Said the Table 2 the Chair "U can hardly be aware How I suffer from the heat And from chilblains on my feet" "If we took a little walk We might have a little talk Pray let us take the air" Said the Table 2 the Chair (Can't nobody fuck with us {repeat}) II. Said the Chair unto the Table "Now U know we are not able How foolishly U talk When U know we cannot walk" Said the Table with a sigh "It can do no harm 2 try I've as many legs as U Why can't we walk on 2?" (Say...) III. So they both went slowly down And walked about the town With a cheerful bumpy sound As they toddled round and round And everybody cried As they hastened 2 their side "See! The Table and the Chair Have come 2 take the air" (Paris, y'all, can't nobody...) (Say it y'all) IV. But in going down an alley 2 a castle in the valley They completely lost their way And wandered all the day Till, 2 see them safely back They paid a Ducky-quack And a Beetle, and a Mouse Who took them 2 their house V. When they whispered 2 each other "O delightful little brother What a lovely walk we've taken Let us dine on Beans and Bacon" So the Ducky, and the leetle (Say it, y'all) Browny-Mousey and the Beetle Dined, and danced upon their heads Till they toddled 2 their beds Good God, uh! (Can't nobody fuck with us) Keep your headphones on. | |

That's true, and what it is referred to. I've tried to get the lyrics down, but it's difficult, Sheila is a fucking whizz at doing it!! Still I can do the 'rap' from Square Biz no probs, so I know I got skills  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm a sucker for a major chord | |
