Golden Skans Lyrics
ooooooo ahhhh
Light touch my hand,
in a dream of Golden Skans,
from now on.
You can forget our future plans.
Night touch my hand
with the turning Golden Skans,
From the night and the light,
all plans are golden in your hand.
Set sail from where we once begun.
While we wait, while we wait.
or spaces still undone.
Ruins, or relics, disciples and the young.
A hall of records, or numbers,
or spaces still undone.
Ruins, or relics, disciples and the young.
in a dream of Golden Skans,
from now on.
You can forget our future plans.
Night touch my hand
with the turning Golden Skans,
From the night and the light,
all plans are golden in your hand.
ooooooo ahhhh
brought all our young.
We sailed from where we once begun.
While we wait, while we wait.
A hall of records, or numbers,
or spaces still undone.
Ruins, or relics, disciples and the young.
A hall of records, or numbers,
or spaces still undone.
Ruins, or relics, disciples and the young.
in a dream of Golden Skans,
from now on.
You can forget our future plans.
Night touch my hand
with the turning Golden Skans,
From the night and the light,
all plans are golden in your hand
Light touch my hand,
in a dream of Golden Skans,
from now on.
You can forget our future plans.
Night touch my hand
with the turning Golden Skans,
From the night and the light,
all plans are golden in your hand
ooooooo ahhhh
I come from a theatre background. Golden Scans are a type of moving lights which can break down white light to many colours in the spectrum. I feel the golden scan light touching their hands is their dream of gigging. Livin the dream you at the gig forget about any of their future stuff and catch their spirit of living in the here and now and see your on future plans in the golden light that is the music that poors into your mind like liquid silk. Focused and surrounded by warmth you feel everything in a better light. Light touch my hand, in a dream of Golden Skans, from now on.
Everyone here is wrong. This song references the collection of stories 'Myths of the Near Future' by JG Ballard, from whom the album is also named. Both he and Pynchon (Gravity's Rainbow) are post WWII writers; and both can be considered as post modern in their circumvention of modernist styles of writing in favourof challenging the reader into a crisis of comprehension, by scattering metafictional clues throughout their texts, whilst keeping themselves at arms length. This is best detailed by David Bennett in his article 'Parody, postmodernism, and the politics of reading' . JG Ballard has also been referenced most notably by Joy Division in their songs 'Atrocity Exhibition' and 'Closer'.
According to a radio interview with the Klaxons, the name "Golden Skans" is derived from a performance luminaire, the "Golden Scan" manufactured by Clay Paky
a beautiful song; isn't a skan a North American Indian god or something?
"...this space is still undone ruins, and relics...???"
I know the word is relics, I don't know what comes next...
isnt it, "light touch my hands"?
also "ruins, and relics, disciples crave the young"
yeh ken is right
it is 'light touch my hands'
and
"ruins, and relics, disciples crave the young"
also im sure its 'while we wait, while we wait' in stead of 'what a way'
i love this song. but im sure that you got some lyrics wrong. like it sound like 'while we wait, while we wait' not 'what a way'
Woo my very first comment =P They're...
Light touch my hand, in a dream of Golden Skans, from now on. You can forget our future plans. Night touch my hand with the turning Golden Skans, From the night and the light, all plans are golden in your hand.
Set sail from sense, bring all your young. Set sail from where we once begun. While we wait, while we wait.
A hall of records, or numbers, or spaces still undone. Ruins, or relics, disciples and the young.
