12 - Defecting Grey - The Pretty Things
13 - My Nitrous Oxide Girl - Richard Rowley

not sure what these two have to do with corrosion.

 

[soundbrigade]

Me neither, but that isn't really of that big importance.

#13 - Iron oxide is rust and therefore corrosion.

 

[scottjoplin]

Defecting (or more accurately "defect") can be caused by corrosion

 

[Sorento]

12 - Defecting Grey - The Pretty Things
13 - My Nitrous Oxide Girl - Richard Rowley

not sure what these two have to do with corrosion.

Nitric oxide NO and nitrogen dioxid NO2 are highly corrosive
Nitrous oxide N2O (or vulgo: laughing gas) is a pretty strong oxidiser, so may be corrosive, too

(Chemically) defect is synonymous for weathered (rocks, concrete), a sort of corrosion ...

 

[drewburn]

I aways know it as Verdigris, not sure about spelling

Nitrous oxide N2O (or vulgo: laughing gas) is a pretty strong oxidiser, so may be corrosive, too

Nitrous oxide is inert at room temperature. Using it as an anaesthetic would be a problem if it was corrosive.
It is a strong oxidiser used in some rocket fuel and it is dangerous when in contact with combustible materials but that doesn't make it corrosive.

However it can produce NO and NO2 (which are corrosive) when it is involved in a fire.

Well?

 

[AstroZon]

01 - Silver Machine - Hawkwind
On the surface, it appears to be about a journey in a space capsule, but it's really about a bicycle ride.

 

[AstroZon]

02 - Get Out Of This House - Shawn Colvin

On the surface it seems that it's about typical teenage turmoil at home - but the song is really about her getting away from her past and getting her mind straight.

 

[scottjoplin]

Yep, they can be quite similar experiences when you're tripping.... Apparently

01 - Silver Machine - Hawkwind
02 - Get Out Of This House - Shawn Colvin
03 - Here At The Western World - Steely Dan

Steely Dan always wrote cryptic lyrics. This one is not only couched in euphemisms, but it may be, in fact, a double couch.

Not about Star Fruits & Pomegranites.

 

[scottjoplin]

That is certainly ain't

 

[drewburn]

Shawn Colvin explained the thinking behind her song Get Out Of This House, last week in Glasgow.
She said most people feel it to be a divorce song, but it is a song about a house she moved in to. Once she was in the house she realised what a great mistake she had made and wrote the song, imploring herself to get out of this house.

 

[scottjoplin]

Ah, that makes sense, particularly watching the video....
