Beautiful South, The ~ The Slide


(heaton/rotheray) When you're too old for the swings You tend to choose the slide And they never seem to warn you The slide's your final ride And when you're at the top of it And you cannot see the end Either don't let go son - or grab the nearest friend The slide is no respecter of dignity or class As soon as you sit down on it That slide has got your ass Don't take the slide, don't take the slide Heroes and villains have tried and cried A broken soul at the bottom lies denied Don't take the slide, don't take the slide When the slide was invented A thousand drinkers sighed They thought they had the copyright On the very word the slide It's a picture of innocence On which the innocent have fried Take the helter skelter son It's easier than the slide Advice to listening parents Or the father of the bride Let them marry anyone But don't let her take the slide Don't take the slide, don't take the slide Heroes and villains have tried and cried A broken soul at the bottom lies denied Don't take the slide, don't take the slide It'll take you much much lower Than you ever would have asked 'cause as soon as you sit down on it The slide has got your ass - it's customers are fools And every one of them deceased The long and silver murderer The devil must have greased Don't take the slide, don't take the slide Heroes and villains have tried and cried A pile of broken souls at the bottom it denied Don't take the slide, don't take the slide Don't take the slide, don't take the slide Heroes and villains have tried and cried A broken soul at the bottom it denied Don't take the slide, don't take the slide more free lyrics

(heaton/rotheray)
When you're too old for the swings
You tend to choose the slide
And they never seem to warn you
The slide's your final ride
And when you're at the top of it
And you cannot see the end
Either don't let go son - or grab the nearest friend
The slide is no respecter of dignity or class
As soon as you sit down on it
That slide has got your ass

Don't take the slide, don't take the slide
Heroes and villains have tried and cried
A broken soul at the bottom lies denied
Don't take the slide, don't take the slide

When the slide was invented
A thousand drinkers sighed
They thought they had the copyright
On the very word the slide
It's a picture of innocence
On which the innocent have fried
Take the helter skelter son
It's easier than the slide
Advice to listening parents
Or the father of the bride
Let them marry anyone
But don't let her take the slide

Don't take the slide, don't take the slide
Heroes and villains have tried and cried
A broken soul at the bottom lies denied
Don't take the slide, don't take the slide

It'll take you much much lower
Than you ever would have asked
'cause as soon as you sit down on it
The slide has got your ass - it's customers are fools
And every one of them deceased
The long and silver murderer
The devil must have greased

Don't take the slide, don't take the slide
Heroes and villains have tried and cried
A pile of broken souls at the bottom it denied
Don't take the slide, don't take the slide

Don't take the slide, don't take the slide
Heroes and villains have tried and cried
A broken soul at the bottom it denied
Don't take the slide, don't take the slide

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
