The Lyrics Thread
Apparently, people here like lyrics or some shit. Here are some of my favorites:
"All that you left You left for someone All of this hurt that's wilted off Oh, this relief is the oddest thing Oh, my god! Oh, my god! Oh, my go-ha-hod." "Sound is faster in water than it is in air!" "KEEP MY NAME OUT OF YOUR DAMN MOUTH!" Meh. I'll post more after you post some. I can't think of any right now. |
"Use the word fuck"
|
"I wrote my name on the sun.
Hey! Alright! I might be goddamned! A life of artic sounds. Hey! Alright! I might be goddamned!" Any Beck song pre-Odelay is fucking fantastic. |
"tommy played the piano like a kid in the rain, then he lost his leg in dallas"
|
Quote:
Yep. How you like me now pretty good going on, feeling strong I quit my job blowing leaves telephone bills up my sleeves choking like a one man dustbowl freedom rock slimeball talking in code we went down lit up the shack grab me a beer out of the sack everybody bent over twice painting the walls throwing some dice leaping up into the air getting juiced up beyond belief |
I've always liked this song...
It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here And I'm much obliged to you for making it clear That I'm not here And I never knew we could be so thick And I never knew we could be so blue And I'm grateful that you threw away my old shoes And brought me here instead dressed in red And I'm wondering who could be writing this song I don't care if the sun don't shine And I don't care if nothing is mine And I don't care if I'm nervous with you I'll do my loving in the winter And the sea isn't green And I love the queen And what exactly is a dream And what exactly is a joke You should know who it is. |
Too bad.
Better bite the bullet hard, son. I didn't have no teeth so I stole his gone. Crawled out the window with my shadow in a spoon. Dancing on the roof shooting holes in the moon. |
Gotta love N.W.A
Do I look like a mutha fuckin role model? To a kid lookin' up ta me Life ain't nothin but bitches and money. Cause I'm tha type o' nigga that's built ta last If ya fuck wit me I'll put a foot in ya ass See I don't give a fuck 'cause I keep bailin Yo, what the fuck are they yellin |
when i leave this town I'm 'on bid you fare...farewell
And when I return again you'll have a great long story to tell |
Well a person can work up a mean mean thirst
after a hard day of nothin' much at all Summer's passed, it's too late to cut the grass There ain't much to rake anyway in the fall And sometimes I just ain't in the mood to take my place in back with the loudmouths You're like a picture on the fridge that's never stocked with food I used to live at home, now I stay at the house And everybody wants to be special here They call your name out loud and clear Here comes a regular Call out your name Here comes a regular Am I the only one here today? Well a drinkin' buddy that's bound to another town Once the police made you go away And even if you're in the arms of someone's baby now I'll take a great big whiskey to ya anyway Everybody wants to be someone's here Someone's gonna show up, never fear 'cause here comes a regular Call out your name Here comes a regular Am I the only one who feels ashamed? Kneeling alongside old Sad Eyes He says opportunity knocks once then the door slams shut All I know is I'm sick of everything that my money can buy The fool who wastes his life, God rest his guts First the lights, then the collar goes up, and the wind begins to blow Turn your back on a pay-you-back, last call First the glass, then the leaves that pass, then comes the snow Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall |
It was back in '32 when times were hard
He had a Colt .45 and a deck of cards Stagger Lee He wore rat-drawn shoes and an old stetson hat Had a '28 Ford, had payments on that Stagger Lee His woman threw him out in the ice and snow And told him, "Never ever come back no more" Stagger Lee So he walked through the rain and he walked through the mud Till he came to a place called The Bucket Of Blood Stagger Lee He said "Mr Motherfucker, you know who I am" The barkeeper said, "No, and I don't give a good goddamn" To Stagger Lee He said, "Well bartender, it's plain to see I'm that bad motherfucker called Stagger Lee" Mr. Stagger Lee Barkeep said, "Yeah, I've heard your name down the way And I kick motherfucking asses like you every day" Mr Stagger Lee Well those were the last words that the barkeep said 'Cause Stag put four holes in his motherfucking head Just then in came a broad called Nellie Brown Was known to make more money than any bitch in town She struts across the bar, hitching up her skirt Over to Stagger Lee, she starts to flirt With Stagger Lee She saw the barkeep, said, "O God, he can't be dead!" Stag said, "Well, just count the holes in the motherfucker's head" She said, "You ain't look like you scored in quite a time. Why not come to my pad? It won't cost you a dime" Mr. Stagger Lee "But there's something I have to say before you begin You'll have to be gone before my man Billy Dilly comes in, Mr. Stagger Lee" "I'll stay here till Billy comes in, till time comes to pass And furthermore I'll fuck Billy in his motherfucking ass" Said Stagger Lee "I'm a bad motherfucker, don't you know And I'll crawl over fifty good pussies just to get one fat boy's asshole" Said Stagger Lee Just then Billy Dilly rolls in and he says, "You must be That bad motherfucker called Stagger Lee" Stagger Lee "Yeah, I'm Stagger Lee and you better get down on your knees And suck my dick, because If you don't you're gonna be dead" Said Stagger Lee Billy dropped down and slobbered on his head And Stag filled him full of lead Oh yeah. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Who wouldn't like an album titled 'Muder Ballads'. |

I hope hes' talking about toes.... |
The lyrics for I've Been Tired by the Pixies is amusing.
One two three She's a real left winger 'cause she's been down south And held peasants in her arms She said "I could tell you stories that could make you cry" "What about you?" I said "Me too" "I could tell you a story that would make you cry" And she sighed "Aaahh" I said "I wanna be a singer like Lou Reed" "I like Lou Reed" she said sticking her tongue in my ear "Let's go, let's sit, let's talk" "Politics go so good with beer" "And while we're at it baby, why don't you tell me one of your biggest fears?" I said "Loosing my penis to a whore with disease" "Just kidding" I said "Loosing my life to a whore with disease" I said "Please... I'm a humble guy with a healthy desire" "Don't give me no shit because..." That one is awsome. |
More...just realized while listening....
A plate steel object was fired And I did not feel for my compatriots Hated even the core of myself Not a matter of ill-health It was fear of weakness deep in core of myself The fact attainment was out of... |
How's It Gonna End - Tom Waits
He had three whole dollars, a worn out car And a wife who was leaving for good Life's made of trouble, worry, pain and struggle She wrote goodbye in the dust on the hood They found a map of Missouri, lipstick on the glass They must of left in the middle of the night And I want to know the same thing Everyone wants to know How's it going to end? Behind a smoke coloured curtain the girl disappeared They found out that the ring was a fake A tree born crooked will never grow straight She sunk like a hammer into the lake A Long lost letter and a old leaky boat Promises are never meant to keep And I want to know the same thing I want to know How's it going to end? The barn leaned over, the vultures dried their wings The moon climbed up an empty sky The sun sank down behind the tree on the hill There's a killer and he's coming thru the rye But maybe he's the father of that lost little girl It's hard to tell in this light And I want to know the same thing Everyone wants to know How's it going to end? Drag your wagon and your plough over the bones of the dead Out amoung the roses and the weeds You can never go back and the answer is no And wishing for it only makes it bleed Joel Tornabene was broken on the wheel Shane and Bum Mahoney on the lamb The grain was as gold as Shelia's hair All the way from Liverpool with all we could steal He was robbed of twenty dollars, his body found stripped Cast into the harbour there and drowned And I want to know the same thing We all want to know How's it going to end? The sirens are snaking their way up the hill It's last call somewhere in the world The reptiles blend in with the colour of the street Life is sweet at the edge of a razor And down in the first row of an old picture show The old man is asleep as the credits start to roll I want to know the same thing We all want to know How's it going to end? I want to know the same thing We all want to know How's it going to end? And I just want to know the same thing I want to know How's it going to end? ================================================== ====== Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley Well I heard there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? Well it goes like this: The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Well your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you She tied you to her kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Well Baby I've been here before I've seen this room and i've walked this floor, you know, I used to live alone before I knew you And I've seen your flag on the marble arch But love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Well there was a time when you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show that to me do you But remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Maybe there is a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you And it's not a cry that you hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah ================================================== ======= Schizophrenia - Sonic Youth I went away to see an old friend of mine His sister came over, she was out of her mind She said Jesus had a twin Who knew nothing about sin And she was laughing like crazy At the trouble I'm in Her light eyes were dancing, she is insane Her brother says she's just a bitch With a golden chain She keeps coming closer Saying "I can feel it in my bones - Schizophrenia is taking me home" My future is static It's already had it I could tuck you in And we could talk about it I had a dream And it split the scene But I got a hunch It's coming back to me |
Burying me softly in this womb
I give this part of me for you Sand rains down and here I sit Holding rare flowers In her tomb... Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved See my heart I've decorated like a grave You don't understand who they thought I was supposed to be Look at me now a man who won't let himself be Down in a hole, feeling so small Down in a hole, losing my soul I'd like to fly, But my wings have been so denied Down in a hole and they've put all the stones in their place I've eaten the sun so my tongue has been burned of the taste I have been guilty of kicking myself in the teeth I will not speak no more of my feelings beneath Down in a hole, feeling so small Down in a hole, losing my soul I'd like to fly, But my wings have been so denied Bury me softly in this womb (Oh I want to be inside of you) I give this part of me for you (Oh I want to be inside of you) Sand rains down and here I sit Holding rare flowers (Oh I want to be inside of you) In her tomb Oh I want to be inside... Down in a hole, feeling so small Down in a hole, losing my soul Down in a hole, feeling so small Down in a hole, out of control I'd like to fly But my wings have been so denied |
Alic in chains, i'm still trying to figure out if they have good lyrics or depressing tripe.
These are probably the best lyrics i've ever read I've searched the holy books I tried to unravel the mystery of Jesus Christ, the saviour I've read the poets and the analysts Searched through the books on human behaviour I travelled this world around For an answer that refused to be found I don't know why and I don't know how But she's nobody's baby now I loved her then and I guess I love her still Hers is the face I see when a certain mood moves in She lives in my blood and skin Her wild feral stare, her dark hair Her winter lips as cold as stone Yeah, I was her man But there are some things love won't allow I held her hand but I don't hold it now I don't know why and I don't know how But she's nobody's baby now This is her dress that I loved best With the blue quilted violets across the breast And these are my many letters Torn to pieces by her long-fingered hand I was her cruel-hearted man And though I've tried to lay her ghost down She's moving through me, even now I don't know why and I don't know how But she's nobody's baby now She's nobody's baby now Nobody's baby now She's nobody's baby now Johnny Burrell said that he thought that this song was the one song Nick Cave was striving for and I believe it. Got an album by him yet screamingskull? You should do, or you could have it for free thats right free from me! |
Hallelujah was written by Leonard Cohen.
I'm a huge Bowie fan as you guys know. Here are some of my favorite lines: "This mellow thighed chick just knocked my spine out of place" "But I love you in your fuck me pumps" "Heavens on the pillow, its silence competes with hell" "Who sucks you while your sleeping" "I'm home, lost my job, and incurably ill, you think this is easy? realism, I got a girl out there, I suppose, I think she's dancing." "She's my main feature" Some other lines that I like " Well I kno karate, Voodoo too I'm gonna make myself available to you I don't need no make up I got real scars I got hair on my chest I look good without a shirt" - Tom Waits " I hear stories from the chamber Christ was born into a manger And like some ragged stranger He died upon the cross Might I say, it seems so fitting in its way He was a carpenter by trade Or at least that's what I'm told"- Nick Cave "I spoke to the man down at the tracks, And I asked him how he don't go mad, He said: 'Look here, junior, don't you be so happy, And for Heaven's sake, don't you be so sad.' "- Television "Chained to the pillars I break the walls and kill us all" - The Pixies "My body is a past time My mind is a simple joy I learned my lesson The hardest way"- Sonic Youth " In a crucifiction ecstasy Lying cross chequed in agony Stigmata bleed continuously Holes in head, hands, feet, and weep for me"- Bauhaus "In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more, As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor, And with cold streel, odour on their bodies mad a move to connect, But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left."- Joy Division |
Here's some classic lyrics:
HEY LADIES WHEN YOUR MAN WANT S TO GET BUCKWILD JUST GO BACK AND HIT'EM UP STYLE JUST GRAB ONTO CASH AND SPEND UNTIL THE LAST DIME FOR ALL THE HARD TIMES |
alyasa, good choice. schizophrenia is one of my favorite sy songs lyrically.
While one who sings with his tongue on fire Gargles in the rat race choir Bent out of shape from society's pliers Cares not to come up any higher But rather get you down in the hole That he's in. |
Angels on the sideline,
Puzzled and amused. Why did Father give these humans free will? Now they're all confused. Don't these talking monkeys know that Eden has enough to go around? Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys Where there's one you're bound to divide it Right in two Angels on the sideline, Baffled and confused. Father blessed them all with reason, And this is what they choose? Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over pieces of the ground. Silly monkeys give them thumbs they forge a blade And where there's one they're bound to divide it Right in two Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over pieces of the ground. Silly monkeys give them thumbs they make a club, And beat their brother down. How they survive so misguided is a mystery. Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability, To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here. [Cutting it all right in two / Cut it all right in two] / Cutting our love right in two] Fight over the clouds, over wind, over sky Fight over your lie, over blood, over anything Fight over love, over sun, over nothing Fight till they die, (Ahhh!) over what? for their ending [This whole part above needs a lot of help - head for the Opinion page and help out!] Angels on the sideline again, [Mixing love / Benched along] with patience and reason. Angels on the sideline again, Wondering where this tug of war will end. [Cutting it all right in two / Cut it all right in two] / Cutting our love right in two] |

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark Clubs and bells, your servant, dont forsake him Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart Downy sins of streetlight fancies Chase the costumes she shall wear Ermine furs adorn the imperious Severin, severin awaits you there I am tired, I am weary I could sleep for a thousand years A thousand dreams that would awake me Different colors made of tears |
A song about SM is allways nice.

Holes - Mercury Rev
Time, all the long red lines, that take Control, of all th smokelike streams that flow into yr Dreams, that big blue open sea, that can't be Crossed, that can't be climbed, just born Between, oh th' two white lines, distant gods an' faded Signs, of all those blinking lites, you had t' pick the one tonite... Holes, dug by little moles, angry jealous Spies, got telephones for eyes, come t' you as Friends, all those endless ends, that can't be Tied, oh they make me laugh, an' always make me Cry, til they drop like flies, an' sink like polished Stones, of all th' stones i throw, how does that ol' song go how does that ol' song go... Bands, those funny little plans, that never work quite right. ============================================ If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next - Manic Street Preachers The future teaches you to be alone The present to be afraid and cold So if I can shoot rabbits Then I can shoot fascists Bullets for your brain today But we'll forget it all again Monuments put from pen to paper Turns me into a gutless wonder And if you tolerate this Then your children will be next And if you tolerate this Then your children will be next Will be next Will be next Will be next Gravity keeps my head down Or is it maybe shame At being so young and being so vain Holes in your head today But I'm a pacifist I've walked La Ramblas But not with real intent And if you tolerate this Then your children will be next And if you tolerate this Then your children will be next Will be next Will be next Will be next Will be next And on the street tonight an old man plays With newspaper cuttings of his glory days And if you tolerate this Then your children will be next And if you tolerate this Then your children will be next Will be next Will be next Will be next ======================================== |

I jumped into the river
Black-eyed angels swam with me A moon full of stars and astral cars And all the figures I used to see All my lovers were there with me All my past and futures And we all went to heaven in a little row boat There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt |

Everybody’s Talkin’
Listed under Paul Brewster & Everybody's Talkin' Your FEEDBACK on this song is welcome!
I don’t hear a word they’re saying Only the echoes of my mind People stop and starin’ I can’t see their faces Only the shadows of their eyes I’m going where the sun keeps shining Through the pouring rain Going where the weather suits my clothes Banking off the northeast winds Sailing on a summer breeze And skipping over the ocean like a stone Everybody’s talkin’ at me Can’t hear a word they’re saying Only the echoes of my mind Oh I won’t let you leave my love behind No I won’t let you leave |
Two scientists were racing
For the good of all mankind Both of them side by side So Determined Locked in heated battle For the cure that is their prize But it's so dangerous But they're determined Theirs is to win If it kills them They're just humans With wives and children Upwards to the vanguard Where the pressure is too high Under the microscope Hope against hope Forging for the future But to sarcrifice their lives Both of them side by side So determined Theirs is to win If it kills them They're just humans With wives and children Theirs is to win It will kill them They're just humans With wives and children |
