Rock’n'roll lyrics as hierarchical lists

Via some site, not that anyone cares: a new way of approaching classical songs.

The originator of the idea deserves a reward.

And here’s the best of the bunch, to give you a quick idea what
it’s all about.

Pink Floyd: another brick in the wall (parts one through three [inclusive])

  • Things across which Daddy has flown:
    • the ocean
  • Things which Daddy has left behind for me:
    • a memory
    • unknown
  • Things which we don’t need:
    • no education
    • no thought control
    • no dark sarcasm in the classroom
  • Conditions in which teachers are requested to leave them/us kids:
    • alone
  • Things the having of which is dependent upon the eating of meat:
    • pudding
  • Things which I don’t need:
    • no arms around me
    • no drugs to calm me
    • anything at all
  • Things which I have seen:
    • the writing on the wall
  • Things which, all in all, are or were just bricks in the wall:
    • it
    • you
