Pareidolia - Brown Word and the Big Whine

Had to quit my job at the machine room
Tiny faces in the dials staring at me
Murmur of plans I can barely discern
In the humming and the thrumming
Of the engines as they turn

I'm picking up something from nothing
See it playing out in the shape of the clouds
Neighbor's dog is barking in code
If I defy the patterns then the world might explode
Well docs gave it a name and they say it's benign
But just in case I'm gonna take it as a sign
I'm picking up something from nothing
And I can't stop reading between the lines

Had to stop shopping at the supermarket
Shadow people stealing just out of sight
All the lettuce looks like people I know
And the meeping and the beeping
Of the checkouts tells me so

I'm picking up something from nothing
See it playing out in the shape of the clouds
Neighbor's dog is barking in code
If I defy the patterns then the world might explode
Well docs gave it a name and they say it's benign
But just in case I'm gonna take it as a sign
I'm picking up something from nothing
And I can't stop reading between the lines

Pareidolia
They call it pareidolia

The electric outlet isn't surprised
The face on Mars is just a moutainous rise
The building next door isn't looking at me
I'm not hearing secrets from the washing machine

Good start! I think this be my favourite so far, but then i went to Girlschool. There may be a part too much to the chorus. But the section at 3.00-ish is tremendous. That was really good.

Birds? sigh At least this one has dogs and a lawnmower. Cool intro. There is something about the way you typically mix the vox that doesn't sit just right for me but the more I listen to this song, the more I like the arrangement and the mix. I noticed the more distorted guitar comes in on that second verse that I would have probably did the opposite. Created more space for the vox. But it's a nice backdrop with a bit more of a midrange sound than the vox.
