Good, bad.love.hate.rap.metal.core,emo,70's, 80's,thrash,,etc,etc,etc.
Lyrics, to me personally, are as much a part of the music as any instrument.
Hence this thread is to post lyrics of ANY worth to YOU personally.....be it funny, romantic, gangsta, brutal,thrash,death....whatever.....
If any words in a song have meaning to you that you wish to share...post.
Obviously, mewithoutYou.
QuoteI was looking at the leaves, climbing to the tops of the trees...
But you were nowhere to be found;
Just beneath all the green you were buried like a little seed...
Among the roots and underground.
<..>
I was swimming through the waves for what must have been days...
But could find no relief;
When I started sinking down I thought for certain I would drown...
Until I saw you in the ocean,
Underneath all the bright colored fish tell of a treasure in a dull shell...
"Such subtlety, so easily missed!"
You, my hidden pearl of pure and perfect love,
And I'm the living example of 100% the opposite of this.
a 100% agree with bored. mewithoutYou's lyrics are the best.
Also i luv Xiu Xiu lyrics. They are really impressive
And yes, lyrics are very important part of the song. I refused listening a lot of bands just cuz thir lyrics are too simple (though music was really what i luv).
the music is much more important than the lyrics. the music shapes the lyrics
but yes. lyrics are important
Battle-Axe lyrics mean a lot to me personally for some reason. I pretty much listen to that song everyday...
Windmill, Windmill for the land
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is ticking, falling down
Love forever love is free
Let's turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?
Blue October: Sound of Pulling Heaven Down
Somewhere, far away from here
I saw stars, stars that I could reach (yeah)
It was a midnight, a silent twilight
Fell down, beyond the ocean beach (yeah)
I assemble all the sand that cover wedding beaches
To build a castle so your mom would have a place to stay
Behind the water slide and down the hill where heaven reaches
Land and time is left to float away (yeah)
So rest assured I have the key to every opening
To every wishing well that's deep enough to dream (dream)
I want to show you just how fascinating kissing is
When earth collides with all the space between (yeah)
I'm reaching farther than I ever have before
Leaving all who broke your heart upon the shore
I may be some sort of crazy
We may be some sort of crazy
But I swear on everything I have and more
So never look behind you, spooky people bring you down
The world is ending there's a party by the bay
I'll wear my suit and tie when I am
I am toasting to the way you put that smile upon my face (yeah)
Fill up the air balloon and ride with me
Yeah hell is jealous of the rain (rain)
Make love like time and space Is ending
While befriending fate's alluring way of putting us to shame
Digital Bath FTW!!!!
"You Have Loved Enough" - Leonard Cohen
I said I'd be your lover.
You laughed at what I said.
I lost my job forever.
I was counted with the dead.
I swept the marble chambers,
But you sent me down below.
You kept me from believing
Until you let me know:
That I am not the one who loves –
It's love that seizes me.
When hatred with his package comes,
You forbid delivery.
And when the hunger for your touch
Rises from the hunger,
You whisper, "You have loved enough,
Now let me be the Lover."
I swept the marble chambers,
But you sent me down below.
You kept me from believing
Until you let me know:
That I am not the one who loves –
It's love that chooses me.
When hatred with his package comes,
You forbid delivery.
And when the hunger for your touch
Rises from the hunger . . .
I think NICK CAVE has some badd-ass lyrics. Also, TOM WAITS, for me the man is just great. Next, THE MARS VOLTA, and it's not only because I'm a huge fan. I think Cedric is an amazing writer.
I'm not interested in lyrics at all. To me it really doesn't matter if you sing words or just gibberish most of the time. With that said there are some lyrics i do enjoy. Some people just try to hard with poetry and it just sounds lame. Syd Barrett was the man.

yeah, i tend not to care about the lyrics unless its a lyric driven song...you know what i mean. my favorite album is Houdini by Melvins, heres a sample of the some lyrics
-Honey Bucket-
Eight times of fel-an-fo-fi
Like cobalt cast and clean
I got a mojo felt the wheel
Real fashion feel
Tri-Jack it, black it for more
Handcuffs with special keys
Triple locked and been down defiled
It's a V. S. I.
Throw a case of plasticine down
Baby I can immolate
And it's rotten in my rounds
Sister's in my way
I'm as fast as my home town
Green glass it most of all
Been around this foreign cage
Villiage in the wall.
Those lyrics sound like some shit Chino would have written in the Adrenaline days...
"A Quiet Mind" by Blue October
A slow strangle with your feet on the floor
I've got 14 angels and we're sleeping alone
In the back of a cave, where the rest of us go
To feel normal
I call baby up. Leave me alone.
I'm in pain but I won't let you Band-Aid my wound
I am mad at a stage where I can't even handle my own (can't even handle my)
Give me a quiet mind and I...
I love you
You give me a quiet mind and I...
I love you
Until the end
Until the end
Give me strength to be kind... To combine
All the good things in life that are so hard to find
But I have and I won't let them go like I do with my friends (my friends)
Still hearing voices... From front... From behind
They're the reasons I choose... When to live... How to die
When to cast... When to reel
When to buy... When to steal
When to fiend for the friends that taught you
Being inappropriate will
Give me a quiet mind and I
I still love you
You give me a quiet mind and I
I love you
You give me a quiet (quiet) mind and I
I love you
You give me a quiet mind and I (you give me)
And I love you
Until the end
Crotchduster - Mr. Indignant Erection
;D awesome song
Mr. indignant erection
Why must you be so brash
Lets play twister with wesson oil
And a meat cork for your ass
Have you ever felt a meat cork plunge you
Like a barium enema mass
Insufficient lubrication
Will damage your intestinal tract
Mothers not home
Lets have some fun
Make sure that daddys away
If they ever found out
What were doing here
They'd probably think we're gay
Mr. williams home
Just leave me alone
Captain tupperware
Rip out my pubic hair
Hey there captain dan
Welcome to butter land
Melted cheese and shit
Rub my face in it
Cadillac mac tick tack
A swolen sack attack
Praying to the cottage cheese
That runs within my mind
Cottage cheese we worship
Came from the crack in your behind
Masturbate the alligator
Masturbate the alligator
Frozen pudding logged in person
Elevate the elevator
Desecrate the nipulator
Praying for the nannys
Suck my stolen eye
Revibrate the devibrator
Let me inside of your asshole
300 pounds of toys melted
Into a log of hate
Realize that your mothers boyfriend sells potatoes
To a pimp
Work your way into my asshole
Grab a shovel theres no hassle
Welcome to my dick
These are the best lyrics in the world. Hands down.
Mr. Bungle - Squeeze Me Macaroni
I wanna lock Betty Crocker in the kitchen
And knock her upper during supper
Clutter up her butter gutter
Hostess Ding Dong wrapped an eggroll around my wong
While Dolly Madison proceded to ping my pong
Your Milky Way is M'n'M in your britches
And I'll tell you Baby Ruth it looks mighty delicious
Keep blowing my gum, cuz here I come
I'm gonna get you all sticky with my Bubble Yum
Knick knack paddywhack and give your dog a bone, baby
I was givin' some head to some french bread
It was a four course orgy on the spread of my bed
French kissin' french fries in my Fruit of the Looms
I get deeper penetration with a fork and a spoon
I got yogurt meat loaf smeared all over my ass
I stick my weiner in two buns and and then give it the gas
Sour cream from my spleen into Levi jeans
Gonna bust the seams with my refried beans
Ronald McDonald just loves to be fondled
With Big Mac he'll fuck it like a Chicken McNugget
Colonel Sanders wants to goose Granny's loose caboose
He's gonna give her a boost with that Kentucky fried juice
Sooper doop poop scoop, loop de loop, chicken coop
Shoot some hoop, top sirloin from the groin
Topped with dick cheese, sneeze, wheeze,
From the skeez disease, wooi!
Take a dump, baby, squirt some gravy
Pour some sugar on me, honey, make it brown & runny
Give a little Flavor Flav, back from the grave
Gonna burn some toast, pump some humpin' rump roast
Knick knack paddywhack, jump in the sack, in fact
Jerk the smack and crack Jack from the back
Bananarama or ramabanana
Fuckin' Barry Manilow on the Copa Cabana
Squeeze me macaroni, slop your face with my bologna
You gotta syphon the spinach, you gotta cream the corn
Sperm scrambles the eggs and a meal is born
Cookin' like a beginner, but I'm goin' up in her
I had Fritos for lunch I'm havin' bush for dinner
Chef Boyardee and the Three Muskateers
Shove Charleston Chews in their rears like queers
"Holy moly, guacamole!" said my Chips Ahoy
I'm gonna pinch a ravioli on the Pillsbury dough boy
Knick knack paddywhack and give your dog a boner, baby
We came to pottie...we came to pottie down your throat
;D :D
Shine On You Crazy Diamond (I-V)
"
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
"
i think the lyrics to Faith No More's song 'RV' have always stuck in my head, since after the first listen , they were glued in there
Backside melts into the sofa
My world, my tv, and my food
Besides listening to my belly gurgle
Ain't much else to do
Yeah, i sweat a lot
Pants fall down every time i bend over
And my feet itch
Yeah - I married a scarecrow
I hate you
Talkin' to myself
Everybody's starin' at me
I'm only bleedin'
Someone taps me on the shoulder every 5 minutes
Nobody speaks english anymore
Would anyone tell me if i was gettin' stupider?
I hate you
Talkin' to myself
You don't feel it after awhile
You take the beating
I'm a swingin' guy
Throw a belt over the shower curtain rod
And swing - - -
Toss me inside a hefty
And put me in the ground
A drink needs me
I don't
I ain't about to guzzle no tears
So kiss my ass
Newscasters, cockroaches, and desserts
I hate you
Talkin' to myself
Everybody's starin' at me
I'm only bleedin'
where are the kids?
Maybe pregnant,
or on drugs,
or on welfare,
on top of the world,
the honor roll,
on parole,
on reruns,
in the Dodgers,
back of milk cartons,
on stakes in them middle of corn fields,
on covers of future history books,
on old lady's mantles,
walkin' on water,
nailed on crosses,
I think it's time I had a talk with my kids
I'll just tell 'em what my daddy told me
YOU AIN'T NEVER GONNA AMOUNT TO NOTHIN'
Smashing Pumpkins - 1979
Shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
Double cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slippin dues down to see
That we don't even care as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules,
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made, I know you better than you fake it
To see that we don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of sound
As you can see there's no one around
I'm a lyricist myself, so I tend to care about the words. But I think that the first step is to really like the music a band does, and then is when you start to care about the lyrics. And when you fall in love with the lyrics, you fall in love deeply with the band.
Lets put lyrics that is what matters not stupid personal comments (Not mentioning anyone in particular)
Megadeth - Five Magics
Five Magics
Bestow upon me magic
Wizard, all knowing, all wise
I want to rule this kingdom
Make sweet the breeze now defiled
Dethrone the evil prince's iron fists
In velvet gloves of sin
Parade the grey robed monks
The vestal virgins, wheel the wyvern's in
Let the ceremony consecrate the marriage
Let me be the protege of Five Magics
Give me alchemy, give mewizardry
Give me sorcery, thermatology
Electricity, magic if you please,
master all of these, bring him to his knees
I master five magics, I master five magics
I master five magics, I master five magics
Possessed with hellish torment, possessed with hellish torment
I master magics five, I master magics five
Hunting the abyss lord, hunting the abyss lord
Only one will stay alive, only one will stay alive
He who lives by the sword, he who lives by the sword
Will surely also die, will surely also die
He who lives in sin, he who lives in sin
Will surely live the lie
Great song very underrated song on RIP album.
Wish You Were Here
"So, so you think you can tell?
Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade,
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found? The same old fears
Wish you were here"

That song is one of the best on RIP. Its a shame that it is underrated. So is Rust in Peace (track). I personally think that RIP > Peace Sells
Somewhat Damaged
"So impressed with all you do
Tried so hard to be like you
Flew too high and burnt the wing
Lost my faith in everything
Lick around divine debris
Taste the wealth of hate in me
Shedding skin, succumb defeat
This machine is obsolete
Made the choice to go away
Drank the fountain of decay
Tear a hole exquisite red,
Fuck the rest and stab it dead!
Broken, bruised, forgotten, sore
Too fucked up to care anymore!
Poisoned to my rotten core
Too fucked up to care anymore!
Broken, bruised, forgotten, sore
Too fucked up to care anymore!
Poisoned to my rotten core
Too fucked up to care anymore!
In the back, off the side and far away
Is a place where I hide, where I stay
Tried to say, tried to ask, I needed to
All alone, by myself, where were you?
How could I ever think its funny how
Everything that swore it wouldn't change, is different now
Just like you would always say, we'll make it through
Then my head fell apart, and where were you?
How could I ever think its funny how
Everything you swore would never change, is different now
Like you said, you and me, make it through
Didn't quite, fell apart, where the fuck were you?!"

Marilyn Manson: Evidence
You have eyes that
Lead me on
And a body that
Shows me death
Your lips look like they were made
For something else but
They just suck my breath
I want your pain
To taste why you're ashamed
And I know you're not just what you say to me
And I'm not the only moment you're made of
You're so sudden and sweet
All legs, knuckles, knees
Head's blown clean off
Your mouth's paid off
Fuck me til we know it's unsafe
And we'll paint
Over the evidence
I want you wanting me
I want what I see in your eyes
So give me something to be scared of
Don't give me something to satisfy
You're so sudden and sweet
All legs, knuckles, knees
Head's blown clean off
Your mouth's paid off
Fuck me til we know it's unsafe
And we'll paint
Over the evidence
I want your pain
To taste why you're ashamed
And I know you're not just what you say to me
And I'm not the only moment you're made of
You're so sudden and sweet
All legs, knuckles, knees
Head's blown clean off
Your mouth's paid off
Fuck me til we know it's unsafe
And we'll paint
Over the evidence
Quote from: Fireal1222 on Mar 12, 2008, 06:31 PM
the music is much more important than the lyrics.
I tend to not so much disagree as be opposed to the fact I place more importance on the contribution of lyrics in making a good song.I love some songs and bands yet hate the lyrics, Limp Bizkit being a prime example for me, where the lyrics completely ruin the music.
Then again it's obviously dependent on the genre and style....for example Jeff Buckley. Bob Dylan, Bob Marley and Dallas Green (eg City and Color) etc, etc, to name a few from a large list, make lyics as much a part of the music as any other instrument.
I'm also a Hip-Hop fan where lyrics are everything.
Still...each to their own and I guess the import of lyrics are totally up to the individual.
i dont really listen to lyrics too much... like i'll hear vocals.. but i dont really LISTEN to what he is sayin. It's more-so the tone n' such of his voice... how it compliments the music. I have to really focus to know what they're sayin, hah.
+..4? for the Pink Floyd lyrics though.
A Fine Frenzy ~ Almost Lover
Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images....
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick....
I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do...
We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images...
And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you'd never ever forget these images, no...
I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy
To walk right in and out of my life?
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
Beautiful song.. <3
The Knife ~ Heartbeats <3
One night to be confused
One night to speed up truth
We had a promise made
Four hands and then away
Both under influence
We had divine scent
To know what to say
Mind is a razorblade
To call for hands of above, to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me, no
One night of magic rush
The start: a simple touch
One night to push and scream
And then relief
Ten days of perfect tunes
The colours red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in love
To call for hands of above, to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me, no
To call for hands of above, to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
And you
You knew the hand of a devil
And you
Kept us awake with wolves teeth
Sharing different heartbeats in one night
To call for hands of above, to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me, no
To call for hands of above, to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
Massive Attack - Angel
You are my angel
Come from way above
To bring me love
Her eyes
She's on the dark side
Neutralize
Every man in sight
To love you, love you, love you ...
You are my angel
Come from way above
To love you, love you, love you .

Great Song one of my favorites from this band =D
Team Sleep: "Ever (Foreign Flag)"
You make that dance look so new
And I'm in awe
A face like you've never seen
I'm yours tonight
So come on
Light the stage
So we can all take off
Anywhere
We'll never come back
Ever
You wear that cast so cool
And I'm in awe
A face like you've never seen before
Around
So come on, yeah
Light the stage
So we can all take off
Anywhere
We'll never come back
Ever
Lie on the stage
You picture all of us everywhere
We'll never come back
Ever

Marilyn Manson: The Dope Show
The drugs they say make us feel so hollow
We love in vain narcissistic and so shallow
The cops and queers to swim you have to swallow
Hate today, no love for tomorrow
We're all stars now in the dope show
We're all stars now in the dope show
There's a lot of pretty, pretty ones
That want to get you high
But all the pretty, pretty ones
Will leave you low and blow your mind
We're all stars now in the dope show
We're all stars now in the dope show
They love you when you're on all the covers
When you're not then they love another
The drugs they say are made in California
We love your face
We'd really like to sell you
The cops and queers make good-looking models
I hate today
Who will I wake up with tomorrow?
There's a lot of pretty, pretty ones
That want to get you high
But all the pretty, pretty ones
Will leave you low and blow your mind
They love you when you're on all the covers
When you're not then they love another
There's a lot of pretty, pretty ones
That want to get you high
But all the pretty, pretty ones
Will leave you low and blow your mind, blow your mind
We're all stars now in the dope show
We're all stars now in the dope show
Pink Floyd have some of my favorite lyrics. Comfortably Numb, Time, Us & Them, Brain Damage, Pigs, pretty much the rest of The Wall...

Nine Inch Nails ~ Burn
This world rejects me
This world threw me away
This world never gave me a chance
This world's gonna have to pay
I don't believe in your institutions
I did what you wanted me to
Like the cancer in the system
I've got a little surprise for you
Something inside of me, has opened up its eyes
Why did you put it there? Did you not realize
This thing inside of me, it screams the loudest sound
Sometimes I think I could
Burn
Burn
I look down there where you're standing
Flock of sheep out on display
With all your lives fucked up around you
I can take it all away
Something inside of me, has opened up its eyes
Why did you put it there? Did you not realize
This thing inside of me, it screams the loudest sound
Sometimes I think I could
I'm gonna burn this whole world down
I'm gonna burn this whole world down
I never was a part of you (burn)
I am your savior (burn)
Of your corruption (burn)
I am the angel (burn)
Of your destruction (burn)
I am perversion (burn)
Sick with desire (burn)
I am your future (burn)
Swallowed up in fire
NIN ~ The Fragile
she shines
in a world full of ugliness
she matters when everything is meaningless
fragile
she doesn't see her beauty
she tries to get away
sometimes
it's just that nothing seems worth saving
i can't watch her slip away
i won't let you fall apart
she reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by
hoping someone can see
if i could fix myseld i'd-
but it's too late for me
i wont let you fall apart
we'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide
i'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side
...but they keep waiting
...and picking...
it's something i have to do
i was there, too
before everyhting else
i was like you
NIN ~ The Great Below
staring at the sea
will she come?
is there hope for me
after all is said and done
anything at any price
all of this for you
all the spoils of a wasted life
all of this for you
all the world has closed her eyes
tried faith all worn and thin
for all we could have done
and all that could have been
ocean pulls me close
and whispers in my ear
the destiny i've chose
all becoming clear
the currents have their say
the time is drawing near
washes me away
makes me disappear
i descend from grace
in arms of undertow
i will take my place
in the geat below
i can still feel you
even so far away
Candlebox: Far Behind
Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you bad
But I did it anyway
And now maybe
Some would say your life was sad
But you lived it anyway
And so maybe
Your friends they stand around they watch you crumble
As you fall to the ground
And someday
Your friends they stand beside as you were flying
Oh you were flying oh so high
But then some day people look at you for what they call their own
They watch you suffer
Yeah they hear you calling home
But then some day we could take our time
To brush the leaves aside so you can reach us
But you left me far behind
Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
Now maybe some would say you're left with what you had
But you couldn't share the pain
No, no, no
Couldn't share the pain they watch you suffer
Now maybe I could have made my own mistakes
But I live with what I've known
And then maybe we might share in something great
But won't you look at where we've grown
Won't you look at where we've gone
[Far Behind lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]
But then someday comes tomorrow holds a sense of what I fear for you
in my mind
As you trip the final line
And that cold day when you lost control
Shame you left my life
So soon you should have told me
But you left me far behind
Now maybe I didn't meant to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
Now maybe some would say you're left with what you had
But you couldn't share the pain
No, no, no
Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
No maybe some would say you're left with what you had
But you couldn't share the pain
I said times have changed your friends
They come and watch you crumble to the ground
They watch you suffer
Yeah they hold you down
Hold you down
Maybe brother maybe love I didn't mean to treat you bad
But you left me far behind
Left me far behind
Left me far behind
Has anyone read any of the lyrics people post in here? I know i haven't.
I read a few.... Like maybe ............... 1%
BLOODHOUND GANG
"Kiss Me Where It Smells Funny"
You came twice last year like a Sears catalog,
Cause your last boyfriend makes love like Boss Hogg,
Well now you're seeing me but soon I'll have you seeing God,
Cause girl I'll get you panting like you're Pavlov's dog,
Like a DC-10: guaranteed to go down,
But baby your black box is the one that I found,
I'll give you the gift that keeps on givin' it won't cost you any money,
Then she grabbed me by the ears and said kiss me where it smells funny.
So down I go like I'm 2000 Flushes,
I can tell I'm doing something right by the way that she blushes,
She's one that's speechless, I'm the one that's tongue tied,
She's thinking holy mackerel I'm thinking tuna on the side,
There must be something wrong with Al Pacino's nose,
Cause the scent of a woman is like rotten tomatoes,
Yeah I'm snorkeling for clams and it doesn't matter if I wanna be,
Don't come up for air until you kiss me where it smells funny.
Drop my face below her waist and stay on third base,
I can tell that the cherry's ripe by the way it tastes,
Yeah I could make a lot of wine with the yeast I find inside her panties,
And then drink it while eating out down at the Seafood Shanty,
Drop my face below her waist and stay on third base,
I can tell that the cherry's ripe by the way it tastes,
Yeah I could make a lot of wine with the yeast I find inside her panties,
And then drink it while eating out down at the Seafood Shanty.
yeah, Bloodhound Gang did have some good lyrics on their first album. then they just turned... a bit too childish for my tastes.
wow... them are some romantic lyrics, right thurr.
Just for you baby.
I LOVE clams.
Seriously though......
I still recall the taste of your tears.
Echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears.
My favorite dreams of you still wash ashore.
Scraping through my head 'till I don't want to sleep anymore.
You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
I'm down to just one thing.
And I'm starting to scare myself.
You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
I just want something.
I just want something I can never have
You always were the one to show me how
Back then I couldn't do the things that I can do now.
This thing is slowly taking me apart.
Grey would be the color if I had a heart.
Come on tell me
In this place it seems like such a shame.
Though it all looks different now,
I know it's still the same
Everywhere I look you're all I see.
Just a fading fucking reminder of who I used to be.
Come on tell me
I just want something I can never have........
^^ I actually really love those lyrics. <3 What song is that?

Oh Yes! I couldn't place it! Nice call Ry. =o)
I find there has to be a really great balance between lyrics and music. If the lyrics are great, but the songs sucks it ruins it all for me and vice-versa. Sometimes, it's not even so much the lyrical content but the way the person sings it.
Dramarama- Anything, Anything
Oh, gee, what is it tonight?
At least just tell me what the hell is wrong,
Do you want to eat, do you want to sleep, do you want to drown?
Just settle down, settle down, settle down...
I'll give you give candy, give you diamonds, give you pills,
Give you anything you want, hundred dollar bills,
I'll even let you watch the shows you want to see,
Just marry me, marry me, marry me...
I'm so sick of you tonight,
You never stay awake when I get home,
Is something wrong with me, something wrong with you?
I really wish I knew, wish I knew, wish I knew...
I'll give you candy, give you diamonds, give you pills,
Give you anything you want, hundred dollar bills,
I even let you watch the shows you want to see,
Because you married me, married me, married me...
When I was young I learned a game,
Where love and happiness were the same,
Now I'm older and I don't play,
I found out the hardest way,
I got wasted, she got mad, called me names and she called her dad,
He got crazy and I did too, wondered what I did to you.
I'll give you candy, give you diamonds, give you pills,
Give you anything you want, hundred dollar bills,
I even let you hear the songs I want to sing,
I'll give you anything, anything, anything...
I'll give you anything, anything, anything
Sponge - Plowed
Will I wake up some dream I made up
No I guess it's reality
What will chance us or will we mess up our only chance to connect with a dream
Say a prayer for me
I'm buried by the sound
Of a world of human wreckage
In a world of human wreckage
Where i'm lost and I'm found and I can't touch the ground
I'm plowed into the sound
To see wide open with a head that's broken
Hang a life on a tragedy
Plow me under the ground that covers the message that is the seed
Say a prayer for me
I'm buried by the sound
Of a world of human wreckage
In a world of human wreckage
Where i'm lost and I'm found and I can't touch the ground
I'm plowed into the sound
Will I wake up some dream I made up
No I guess it's reality
Class.^^
So go on
And I will refrain
And I'll keep on running this neverending race
Well maybe next time will be the right time
And maybe next time will be your time
So save your scissors
For someone else's skin
My surface is so tough
i dont think the blade will dig in save your strength save your wasted time theres no way that i want you to be left behind
go on and save your scissors
save your scissors
So why does it always seem
That every time I turn around
Somebody falls in love with me
This has never been my sole intention
And I have never claimed
to have patents on such inventions
Just save your scissors
For someone else's skin
My surface is so tough
I don't think the blade will dig in
Save your strength
Save your wasted time
There's no way that I want you to be left behind
Go on save your scissors
Save your scissors
There is something that I must confess to you tonight
To you tonight
And that is I expect nothing less from you tonight
From you tonight
Go on save your scissors
Save your scissors
Save your scissors

[youtube=425,350]UEW8riKU_tE[/youtube]
That's actually a really depressing song.
It's real. Some music I <3 is depressing, it tells the most truth.
You had something to hide
Should have hidden it, shouldnt you
Now youre not satisfied
With what youre being put through
Its just time to pay the price
For not listening to advice
And deciding in your youth
On the policy of truth
Things could be so different now
It used to be so civilised
You will always wonder how
It could have been if youd only lied
Its too late to change events
Its time to face the consequence
For delivering the proof
In the policy of truth
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Now youre standing there tongue tied
Youd better learn your lesson well
Hide what you have to hide
And tell what you have to tell
Youll see your problems multiplied
If you continually decide
To faithfully pursue
The policy of truth
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Yeah I like the sad song lyrics too.
I know most people hate Limp Bizkit at this point but there's a song in the album, Results May Vary that I love anyway...
"Let Me Down"
Heartbreak is a headache,
Like a toothache or an earthquake.
Spontaneous combustion
Leaves a taste that so disgustin'
And it don't go away too fast
I'm a window made of broken glass
I've never needed anything,
Anything but you
And that's what wrong
That's what i get
For feeling this
Anyway...
Just let me know
All i'll miss
When i'm gone
Just throw it all away... you let me down
Like everybody says... you let me down
Write me off like yesterday... you let me down
Oh, i guess that your not good enough to be with me
Rumors are tumors
Of the sick and mainly useless
When you come to me with these things
It's the shit that i cant deal with.
Still i gave you all of me,
Faithfulness and honesty
Prayed for God to bring you near,
Along with all these tears.
And that's what wrong
That's what i get
For feeling this
Anyway... just let me know
All i'll miss
When i'm gone
I'd like to thank you
For lettin' me know i can feel this way
Feel this way
For lettin' me know i can feel
Nothing new for you now, how can you bury?
Filling up all of your eyes and never swearing
With your embrace I receive, receive the enemy
Is this the Christ that you need or not the Christ that you need?
Where do you gain your strength?
One look and you will know
Who chokes on boxes of fucking pills?
Choking on your thoughts of what used to be
She's clothed with the silk
Waiting to be drained dry
And the echoes will come
They'll come all around
And drain us all...dry
They'll drain us all dry
As we gag on the dust of the everyday
I choke on one more reminder you know I'm alone.
Where do you gain your strength? I wish I knew...
Where do you gain your strength? I wish I knew...
She's clothed with the silk
Waiting to be drained dry
And the echoes will come
They'll come all around
And drain us all..dry
They'll drain us all dry
faith has led the way...dismantle.
Believe in what you can see
Believe in what you can feel
Reveal yourself unto me
Show yourself unto me
Believe in what you know
Believe in what you can touch
Legs agape
Stretching slow
Show yourself unto me
The soft wet kisses
To the mouth of the vagina
Taste exquisite to me
"I believe that when I die I shall rot
and nothing of my ego shall survive"
The glabrous beauty
Once the blood dries on the contract
All debts must be paid
Once the blood dries on the contract
You can never go back
All debts must be paid
We form an unmoving tableau
Of adorer and adored
Unsure briefly which is me
Every thought I ever had
Dissolves into nothing
When you take me in your mouth
Staring into my eyes
Stretched skin
Mesmerising
All debts must be paid
The Who - Behind Blue Eyes
"No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies
But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you!
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through
But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool
And If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
And If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes"

Marilyn Manson: The Dope Show
The drugs they say make us feel so hollow
We love in vain narcissistic and so shallow
The cops and queers to swim you have to swallow
Hate today, no love for tomorrow
We're all stars now in the dope show
We're all stars now in the dope show
There's a lot of pretty, pretty ones
That want to get you high
But all the pretty, pretty ones
Will leave you low and blow your mind
We're all stars now in the dope show
We're all stars now in the dope show
They love you when you're on all the covers
When you're not then they love another
The drugs they say are made in California
We love your face
We'd really like to sell you
The cops and queers make good-looking models
I hate today
Who will I wake up with tomorrow?
There's a lot of pretty, pretty ones
That want to get you high
But all the pretty, pretty ones
Will leave you low and blow your mind
They love you when you're on all the covers
When you're not then they love another
There's a lot of pretty, pretty ones
That want to get you high
But all the pretty, pretty ones
Will leave you low and blow your mind, blow your mind
We're all stars now in the dope show
We're all stars now in the dope show
horrible fucking song
best song on that album
I can tell you what they say in space
That our earth is too grey
But when the spirit is so digital
The body acts this way
That world was killing me
That world was killing me
Disassociative
The nervous systems down
The nervous systems down
I know
The nervous systems down
The nervous systems down
I know
I can never get out of here
I don't want to just float in fear
A dead astronaut in space
I can never get out of here
I don't want to just float in fear
A dead astronaut in space
Sometimes we walk like
We were shot
Through our heads, my love
We write our song in space
Like we are already
Dead and gone
Your world was killing me
Your world was killing me
Disassociative
Your world was killing me
Your world was killing me
Disassociative
I can never get out of here
I don't want to just float in fear
A dead astronaut in space
I can never get out of here
I don't want to just float in fear
A dead astronaut in space
The nervous systems down
The nervous systems down
I know
This is a song by a local band called Profane. They're not that well known yet but they have their second album coming out this year. Lyrically, their vocalist Phil reminds me of Chino, in the sense that you can read one or 2 lines and they'll make perfect sense but when you read the whole thing you're like "EH?"
In a good way, of course :D
Anyway, I think I've got these right; they're not printed online and the inlay is on the other side of the room :P
Here's the video for anyone who's interested

Profane - I Think I've Outstayed My Welcome
Beg to differ, sordid like an angel's filthy wing, steal the pleasure born
And I'm coming back to you, by crook or fist I'll lather up your gracious smile
And take my time
Blackened fingers always tell me where you might have been
And I'll be waiting, numb
And I thought you would know by now
A brave assumption, realised by months of waiting clean, forever rue my day
Well I'm coming back to find you turned off that little switch inside my gracious fallen tide
Blackened fingers always tell me where you might have been
And I'll be waiting, numb
[Middle 8 - the lyrics aren't printed in the inlay]
And I'll be waiting, numb
Blackened fingers always tell me where you might have been
And I'll be waiting, numb
And I thought you would know by now
Without cause of, immediacy
Graphic depictions, rational beauty
Bled through filters, to analyse depth
Auspicious decent, into drowning
Without cause of, immediacy
Graphic depictions, rational beauty
Bled through filters...
Not too bad hook me up with some Profane in the D&R thread!
she frolics through the rain
whispering love insane
her kisses exit through
heart-shaped exit wounds
her skin like flesh of angels
her blood my catholic wine
it moves slowly through me
disintegrates my spine
she's got heroin embraces
that I still need to be in
I force myself to loathe her
so I can fall for her again
so I can fall for her again
[x2]
her lips are wet with venom
her posture's serpentine
she'll touch my arm and
flowers grow their
poisonous and obscene
all her shrugged little movements
and their despotic majesty
in the midst of such perfection
I can't help but feel diseased
my face has changed, but you know its me, YOU KNOW ITS ME!

In leafless
You've got the spinal meningital
Your words are vital suicidal
Sticky vinyl, color bridal
And now I'm painted blue
Yeah, you're too complicated
Past-related, conversated
Migraine-true
Quite frustrated, suffocated
Sophisticated, medicated
And now I'm painted blue
We're all one, painted blue
I'm painted blue
Oh yeah, I'm painted blue
I'm painted blue
I compromise
And then I sympathize
On what I despise, and yes rang true
But trust I'm wise
From all the little lies
And now I'm painted blue
I hope the gold one had this plan for me
I talk to God but only musically
I thank my friends cause you supported me
We're all one, painted blue
Yeah we're all one, painted blue
I'm painted blue
We're all one, painted blue
You've go to live this
Life like the passion in a wedding
Pray for your homely stable setting
Comfortable bedding
And now I'm painted blue
I used to be so high-strung slanted
Straight from the doctor's door to manic
Yeah, the key is don't take anything for granted
You'll be enchanted
And then you're painted blue
We're all one, painted blue
I'm painted blue
We're all one, painted blue
I'm painted blue
