PLATEAU
Many a hand has
scaled the grand old face of the plateau
Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands
The nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words
When you've finished with the mop then you can stop
And look at what you've done
The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen
And the work it was fun
The nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words
Many hands began to scan around for the next plateau
Some said it was in Greenland and some in Mexico
Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
But they were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could
Plateau
č il primo di tre brani dei Meat Puppets riproposti dai Nirvana nell'unplugged.
All'esecuzione hanno partecipato anche gli stessi Meat Puppets.
Rispetto
all'originale, questa versione č un poco pių dolce e melodica, ma il ritornello
č cantato in modo pių sforzato.
La canzone č
chiusa da un lungo assolo strumentale, forse la parte pių positiva di un brano
non eccezionale, date anche le frequenti dissonanze che lo caratterizzano,
soprattutto nella versione originale.
