Sunday Song Lyric:

[1]TV on the Radio's Dear Science seems to be the consensus pick for
"album of the year," having received this honor from [2]Rolling Stone,
[3]Spin and [4]others. I like this band, and enjoyed seeing them open
for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs a few years back, I haven't picked this one up
yet, but I suppose I'll have to. Here's a taste of the lyrics from one
of the singles "Golden Age":
The age of miracles
The age of sound
Well there's a Golden Age
Comin' round, comin' round, comin' round
Give it up
'stead of grabbing for decay
What we viewed as gold
I believe pollutes this space
And its grace ascending
Like a snake up your tree
Up your happy ending understanding
All your s'pposed to be
The full lyrics are [5]here, and the video is [6]here.
At year's end, I'd also be curious what VC readers think were the best
albums, songs, or lyrics of 2008. Leave your suggestions in the
comments.
