[strictlycommercial]

Comes the sign of wasted times
I will wait no more
Ever trudging through the aimless forests
we explore
in our boots and money chains
misfitting cloaks - we can't contain
the hidden hates of urgency
declaring our emergency

and up the tallest window world
the distance was not clear
unoccupied with brutish thoughts
we had no cause to fear
a lesson so severe

hotter than the fire we built
darker than the truth
ignorance reflected in the windows
of our youth
push me now, beyond the bounds
of healing hands and thorny crowns
all the sadness it implies
I've tasted it with my own two eyes

and as the cattle rack was cleared
the floor was brightly stained
and larger though we grew in size
not a thing was gained
the fate as so ordained

dead milkmen - instant club hit (you'll dance to anything)

You'll dance to anything [x4]

Oh, baby, look at you
Don't you look like Siouxsie Sioux
How long'd it take to get that way
What a terrible waste of energy
You wear black clothes say you're poetic
The sad truth is you're just pathetic
Get into the groove just get out of my way
I came here to drink not to get laid
So why don't you just go on home
'Cause if you want to moan you'll have to moan alone

You'll dance to anything [x2]

Don't try to tell me that you're an intellectual
Cause you're just another boring bisexual
"I met Andy Warhol at a really chic party"
Blow it out your hairdo 'cause you work at Hardees
80 pounds of make up on your art school skin
80 points of I.Q. located within

Know what you are? You're a bunch of ...
Artfags! Artfags! Artfags! Artfags!
Choke on this you dance-a-teria types!

You'll dance to anything by The Communards
You'll dance to anything by Book of Love
You'll dance to anything by The Smiths
You'll dance to anything by Depeche Commode
You'll dance to anything by Public Image Limited
You'll dance to anything by Naked Truth
You'll dance to anything by any bunch of stupid Europeans who come over here
with their big hairdos intent on taking our money instead of giving your
cash, where it belongs, to a decent American artist like myself!

You'll dance to anything!

Obvious choice,i know,but i've had the lyrics to this awesome song in my head all day.

Hits of Sunshine (For Allen Ginsberg)

today i
said goodbye
to my conflicted goddess
her lush eyes
show surprise
at how we could gather knowledge
the painting has a dream
where shadow breaks the scene
and the colors run off
blue is bashful
green is my goal
yellow girls are running backwards
until the nextime
with six hits of sunshine
the lights will blind up with blues in haiku
the shadow has a dream
where painters look to sea
the colors burn out
now i know where
i once saw you
stepping into muddy water
john’s reflection
decried perfection
now you walk him through the gardren
waiting in the wings
painters shade their dreams
with falling colors
see me wave good
bye forever
happiness the goddess lover
hurry back re
member last time
the hits of sunshine
the hits of goldmine
i’ll see you back tonite
where painters love the light
and yellow shadow girls
today i
say goodbye
to my complicious goddess
her hushed eyes
show surprise
and how we captured knowledge
i’ll see you back tonite
where shadows dream of light
let’s slip on outside

Broadcast Corporeal


Under the white chalk
Drawn on the black board
Drawn on the black board
Under the xray
I'm jut a vertebrate

Do that to me
Do that to my anatomy
Do that to me
Do that to my anatomy
Corporeal Corporeal

We are mankind
We are manikin
With and without mind
With or without Darwin

Classify me
The strings of my autonomy
Classify me
The strings of my autonomy
Corporeal corporeal

A thorny red heart
Around a thin arm
Inside a white bone
The love is inborn

Close up to me
Up close to my anatomy
Close up to me
Up close to my autonomy
Corporeal corporeal
Corporeal

Take George Bush to Afghanistan
He's gonna bathe in a river of blood
He wants to party till the wheels fall off
Six feet under ground

What the world needs
Is another dead cowboy

Take George Bush to Afghanistan
Throw him in an oil pit, six feet deep, six feet wide
We're gonna cook him till his ears fall off

What the world needs
Is another dead cowboy

[screamingskull]

My favorite lyrics of all time are

Out on some borderline
Some mark of inbetween
I lay down golden-in time
And woke up vanishing
Sweet bird you are
Briefer than a falling star
All these vain promises on beauty jars
Somewhere with your wings on time
You must be laughing
Behind our eyes
Calendars of our lives
Circled with compromise
Sweet bird of time and change
You must be laughing
Up on your feathers laughing
Golden in time
Cities under the sand
Power, ideals and beauty
Fading in everyone's hand
Give me some time
I feel like I'm losing mine
Out here on this horizon line
With the earth spinning
And the sky forever rushing
No one knows
They can never get that close
Guesses at most
Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching

Joni Mitchell - Sweet Bird

Fabulous, amazing, beautiful lyrics!

[schizophrenicroom]

sister, say a prayer for me
right now i could believe in anything

[Norma J]

I lived in the country where the dead wood aches
In a house made of stone and a thousand mistakes
Where the glory of morning got crushed by the burden of day
I went down to the seaside and it was light and easy
But it was salt in my wounds man I won't ever be free
Though alone on a beach getting drunk ain't a bad way to be

- Drones

[Norma J]

Strontium-90
Removed from milk
As curious an entity
As bullshit writ on silk

Cancer's airborne now
Do you hear the sound?
I was hanging out the washing, man
As the rain come falling down

Now the grass lies snakes
Has crowds of iodine and fire
On Jezebel's luminescence
I swear you are my heart's desire

Bomb proof the embassy
Give infanticide a cemetary
You looked so good on the late night news
With your curtain and your deed

Yeah, I love you like a violin
I'll hunt you like an amputee
But I ain't gonna lose my skin
I would love to see you again, again

I... I would love to see you again
I... I would love to see you again

You wrote me a letter
And this is how it went:
It said, "We're backing up the supply lines
The first division's crossin' the Nile
Through the rushes and up the side
And into the machine gun fire
Tell me that this is not a dream
I've become a steel spring
Uranium tips night vision cruise missles
Gonna cut the belly out of the sky

I rode an Abrams
We stopped in Bethlehem
They made the answers here
But there weren't so many questions then
And there I shot a woman
In a headscarf with my gun
She said 'Does my bomb look big in this?
Am I the only one?'

I was in the blitz you know
My heart was young and true
I had a Caesarean, but it was not any use

Oh calamity! Oh the vanity!
You can't ride a thunderbolt
You can't claim an enemy

See, there ain't nothing here
Except a darkness
I ain't gonna fail no test
I gave my dowry to a finger on a switch
Turn me to a fine pink mist

But I ain't nothing but a stranger still
If I'm even anyone at all
But I ain't gonna lose my skin
I would love to see you again

I... I would love to see you again
I... I would love to see you again

But that ain't gonna happen now
It's no use to pretend

How many people gonna lie?
How many people gonna die?
What's best for the Western and the greed?
Kill 'em all? Let 'em breed?
Another bomb for every atom you injure
Meet the Devil with extended ring finger
Saying 'thou shalt not kill'
But I'm damned if I don't
So I'm thinking I will

Yeah, Dan Pearl
They cut your head off on TV
But I am not a camera
A man is not an effigy
But still all this horror
Has made a trench out of my soul
I'm gonna have to fall in love with a blind girl
So she will not see the shame that I know

Oh, new scar
You have raised the bar
Goliath rides an oil drum raft
Through a cyclone in my ear drums

You don't want a tyrant, we're sure
You'd prefer civil war
And I am gonna lose my skin
And I ain't gonna see you again

Again

I... I would love to see you again
I... I would love to see you again

- Drones.

Then it errupts into this mayhem of guitar and noise

"and it's all about the moderate climates
everyone wants to be hot and be cold for sure
and its all about the moderate climates
everyone wants to be blessed and be cursed for sure"

[Inhuman]

Stuck in a world, with no in's or out's.
"I've left to many lives behind," she cries.
Stronger words for a fading will when a new language only serves to cut even deeper still, and pennies for your thoughts are simply wasted on chance, and we are twisting through years without looking ahead

[Trasher02]

A change of speed, a change of style.
A change of scene, with no regrets,
A chance to watch, admire the distance,
Still occupied, though you forget.
Different colours, different shades,
Over each mistakes were made.
I took the blame.
Directionless so plain to see,
A loaded gun won't set you free.
So you say.

We'll share a drink and step outside,
An angry voice and one who cried,
'We'll give you everything and more,
The strain's too much, can't take much more.'
Oh, I've walked on water, run through fire,
Can't seem to feel it anymore.
It was me, waiting for me,
Hoping for something more,
Me, seeing me this time, hoping for something else.

I absolutely adore these lyrics.

[Inhuman]

Those are great Trasher! I haven't listened to Joy Division in a while

Smog - I Feel Like The Mother of The World

Whether or not there is any type of god
I’m not supposed to say
And today
I don’t really care

God is a word
And the argument ends there

Oh do I feel like the mother of the world
With two children
Oh do I feel like the mother of the world
With two children fighting

When I was a boy I used to get into it bad
With my sister
And when the time came to face the truth
There’d only be tears and sides
Tears and sides
And my mother my poor mother
Would say it does not matter
It does not matter
Just stop fighting

Oh do I feel like the mother of the world
With two children

[Danny Himself]

Classic, never thought I'd see those lyrics on here.

[jimbrim]

A classic indeed, Bill Callahan's such a wonderful lyricist.

scarnella - millennium fever ballad

In the last remaining weeks we realize there's nothing to lose
the stars will break from the heavens now and fall
we'll have a ball in the last remaining weeks.
In the last remaining days we blow off everything
that doesn’t mean the very most
let's drink a toast to the last remaining days.
Tick, tick, tick and turn around
you're smiling as you spin away.
Tick tock, tick tock
tick tick and turn around
you're smiling as you spin...
In the last remaining minutes swimming in your eyes
fireworks nail us to a sky that looks just like an orchid blooming black
step on a crack in the last remaining minutes
the funny times and torn up rhymes
play just like a movie in my dizzy head
another year is dead and I still never told you
that...I love you.
In the last remaining seconds
we reconcile resistance and let go
the instinct to survive has gone to hell
let's ring the bells in the last remaining seconds.

BRMC - Waiting Here


Nothing seems to lead me to these words I need to tell you tell you more
Everything's been tainted that I told you that I told you once before
Something hides the meaning there's no meaning in the words I said before
There's no meaning in the things I've told you long before
I've been waiting here to see what
I've been here waiting here to see what (x3)
I've been waiting here
Something leaves me in these words I tell you in these words I tell you more
Everything I've said is true I've told to you the truth as told before
These are all I've meant to say they're all I've meant to tell you long before
There's no meaning to the things I've told you long before
I've been here waiting here to see what
I've been here waiting here to see what (x3)
I've been waiting here
There's no meaning to the things I've told you long before
I've been waiting here to see what
I've been here waiting here to see what (x3)
I've been waiting here
