Klaatu- Sub-Rosa Subway

"Sub-Rosa Subway", by Klaatu.

Lyrics:

Back in 1870
Just beneath the Great White Way
Alfred Beach worked secretly
Risking all to ride a dream
His wind machine
His wind machine

New York City and the morning sun
Were awoken by the strangest sound
Reportedly as far as Washington
The tremors shook the earth
As Alfie blew underground
Blew underground, he blew underground

Ah, all aboard Sub Rosa Subway
Had you wondered
Who's been digging under Broadway
It's Alfred
Poor Al, oh no, Al

As for America's first subway
The public scoffed
"It's far too crude"
One station filled with Victoria's Age
From frescoed walls
And goldfish fountains
To Brahmsian tunes

This reminds me of something Jellyfish could've done, short-lived but revered power-pop band from the early 90's

[AdmrlLocke]

I love the harpsichord instrumental toward the opening.

[michellesupport89]

Does sound a bit like The Beratles but more like Wings.

@Rampant7990 Way to make a blanket statement about someone you know absolutely nothing about. I pity the future of mankind, when assholes like you walk the earth bringing everyone else down. Who give a rats ass what my education is, I own every single album The Beatles ever released, and I still like this song way more than most of their material. That is my opinion, you don't have to agree with it. Either way, I suggest never attempting a career where you have to speak to others.

[Rampant7990]

@VernianProcess You're musically uneducated, seriously.

Way more creative than the Beatles huh? I love this band, but isn't it funny? how many arrangements, various instrumental riffs and , various other sounds and yes even the voices were direct copy of the Beatles existing works.

I like this group very much, but your comment is that of a moron or a lying sociopath. Either way, I suggest never attempting for any career that involves music.

Great Beatles pastiche, even down to the Liverpudlian accent on the words "It's far too rude." Great song and like FrostyRSIFX notes, it's a definite nod to It's All Too Much. Love the sound of the underground train at the conclusion and the stereo effect of it travelling through the tunnel in my head, from one ear to the other.

[ElBlogDeUnVago]

the face of the sun looks like paul!

[FrostyRSIFX]

Sounds a lot like "It's All Too Much" from the Yellow Submarine Songtrack

[alexynere9]

Ladies and Gentlemen, ¡here are The Beatles!
