Was listening to White Lies new album and heard these lyrics:

You went where the horses cry

You've never taken that way with me before

Did you feel the need for change?

Guilt smeared across your lips

I was tired and cold from the window

You're tired, nothing has changed

Whats that all about? I think bands make this stuff up off the top of their heads sometimes!

It's nothing new. This was Procul Harum's Whiter Shade of Pale in 1967. What were they on?

We skipped the light fandango

turned cartwheels 'cross the floor

I was feeling kinda seasick

but the crowd called out for more

The room was humming harder

as the ceiling flew away

When we called out for another drink

the waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later

as the miller told his tale

that her face, at first just ghostly,

turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, 'There is no reason

and the truth is plain to see.'

But I wandered through my playing cards

and would not let her be

one of sixteen vestal virgins

who were leaving for the coast

and although my eyes were open

they might have just as well've been closed
