I kill children
I love to see them die
I kill children
And make their mamas cry
Crush 'em under my car
I wanna hear them scream
Feed 'em poison candy
To spoil their Halloween

So your're in the kids' ward
You're in there cos you're ill
How about some Pavulon
So I can see you chill

Time to hit the scool bus
I think I'll shoot the tires
Offer them a helping hand
Of open telephone wires

Ever wanted to die?
Of course you have
But I won't till I get my revenge
I don't wanna see people any more

Things I never ever saw before
Make me see them for the shit they are
Take as many as I can away with me
Anyone can be king for a day

So I kill children
I love to see them die
I kill children
And make their mamas cry
I bang their heads in doors
I kill children
Can hardly wait for yours


It never fails to make me smile.

When he came out to the lock-up
He said Im looking for something better
He made his shock announcement
And backed off, backed down, backed off
And then he got up off the floor
He said Im wealthy enough, not to do this no more
And he made it all known with his hands held up, palm
Out
And she said dont know if I should
Cause I worry too much about the tests on the blood
And at first it was a yes, and then a no, then a
yes.
A maggot sleeps on her desk
H wears a sleeping bag as his vest
And hes getting too too bothered
About the spots on his chest, chest, chest
Now shes (blank)...she laid it on
And a few days later shes gone
So its back to the womb
To get drowned, drowned, drowned, drowned warm

Otherwise, he's a very good lyricist.

i think hes brilliant, there are very few artists in the singer/songwriter category who manage to make music that isnt bland, and i think andrew birds one of them... certainly live, he was really good, like a one man band with all his violin loops and stuff...

I've recently come to the conclusion that anybody below the age of thirty, really is an absolute waste of time.

oi! i'm 30 next year.

[demonrail666]

did someone say something? I hear a child's voice twittering in the background.

[Toilet & Bowels]

i can hear a groaning sound coming from that grey pile of clothes on the chair, what's going on?

[demonrail666]

Fetch me my barley sugars young Toilet and I'll tell you all about the time I managed to fight off an entire battalion of Germans with a single Scotch egg.

[Rob Instigator]

I find it hard to detach lyrics from their sung form, or the song they are a part of, so lyrics that mean things to me in the song do not come off the same when read on a page.

[demonrail666]

Agreed, that Happy monday's lyric I posted up just now sounds great when it's sung. But written down it just sounds naff as fuck.

[batreleaser]

captain beefheart-dachau blues (the best song written about the halocaust ever)

Dachau blues those poor jews
Dachau blues those poor jews
Down in Dachau blues, down in Dachau blues
Still cryin' 'bout the burnin' back in world war two's
One mad man six million lose
Down in Dachau blues down in Dachau blues
Dachau blues, Dachau blues those poor jews
The world can't forget that misery
'n the young ones now beggin' the old ones please
t' stop bein' madmen
'fore they have t' tell their children
'bout the burnin' back in World War Three's
War One was balls 'n powder 'n blood 'n snow
War Two rained death 'n showers 'n skeletons
Danced 'n screamin' 'n dyin' in the ovens
Cough 'n smoke 'n dyin' by the dozens
Down in Dachau blues
Down in Dachau blues
Three little children with doves on their shoulders
Their eyes rolled back in ecstasy cryin'
Please old man stop this misery
They're countin' out the devil
With two fingers on their hands
Beggin' the Lord don't let the third one land
On World War Three
On World War Three

i also really like flipper's lyrics, dont get enough credit for how great they were lyrically:

earthworm:

I am the earthworm
I live underground
I am the earthworm
I live in the dark
I am the earthworm
I live off decay
I am the earthworm
And no one sees me
Ever
The forces of dynasty are laughed at in the street
Our teachers hide behind their lies
But we´ve got the vision to see
You waste your time running from one book to the next
and when you stand in front of the mirror
I might get some rest
The chief looks back into the dark
and no one cares to follow
Lovers wait behind the phones
Praying there´s no mistakes
the city is made of concrete and stone
But we hide in the cracks
And the insects crawl through the dark
knowing nothing, nothing sees them

[gualbert]

Matt Johnson , from The The , he has some good lyrics.

[Derek]

post-morbidity, pre-mortality, the dying proceeds and the living intercede
on the behalf of your best interests as we perceive them
and so you sign this document stating the following 'please let me go'
post-morbidity, pre-mortality, facing this inevitably
that i could never begin to understand
what is it you see staring down the barrel of limited options?
what goes through your mind as you make the decision to end all decisions?
never say everything will be okay.

- Off Minor




Don stepped outside
It feels good to be alone
He wished he was drunk
He thought about something he said
And how stupid it had sounded
He should forget about it
He decided to piss, but he couldn't
(A plane passes silently overhead)

The streetlights, and the buds on the trees, were still

It finally came, he took a deep breath
It made him feel strong, and determined
To go back inside

The light
Their backs
The conversations
The couples, romancing, so natural
His friends stare
With eyes like the heads of nails
The others
Glances
With amusement
With evasion
With contempt
So distant
With malice
For being a sty in their engagement
Like swimming underwater in the darkness
Like walking through an empty house
Speaking to an imaginary audience

And being watched from outside by
Someone without a key

He could not dance to anything
Don left
And drove
And howled
And laughed
At himself
He felt he knew what that was

Don woke up
And looked at the night before
He knew what he had to do
He was responsible
In the mirror
He saw his friend

It's a style thing. If you don't like the music, it's hard to see. But I genuinely think that those people are some of the most talented music-writers around. It's very easy to hate, though. I actually saw one of Sufjan's guitarists in L.A. and had a short conversarion with her about Sonic Youth.
