Just post yr favourite song lyrics, say what song and artist they are, and maybe try and come up with something more interesting than, say "Yesterday". I'll do mine in a bit.
You call me a dog well that's fair enough 'Cause it ain't no use to pretend You're wrong When you call me out I can't hide anymore I have no disguise you can't see through Well you say it's bad luck To have fallen for me Well what can I say to make it good for you You wore me out like an old winter coat Trying to be safe from the cold But when it's my time to throw The next stone I'll call you beautiful if I call at all You tell me I'm low 'cause I've slept on the floor And out in the woods with the badgers & wolves You threw me out 'cause I went digging for gold And I came home with a handful of coal But when it's my time to throw the next stone I'll call you beautiful if I call at all And when it's my time to call your bluff I'll call you beautiful or leave it alone You call me a dog Well that's fair enough It doesn't bother me as long as you know Bad luck will follow you If you keep me on a leash and You drag me along
My New favorite song--- Steve Earle "F the CC" From: "Revolution" 2004 I used to listen to the radio And I don’t guess they’re listenin’ to me no more They talk too much but that’s okay I don’t understand a single word they say Piss and moan about the immigrants But don’t say nothin’ about the president A democracy don’t work that way I can say anything I wanna say So fuck the FCC Fuck the FBI Fuck the CIA Livin’ in the motherfuckin’ USA People tell me that I’m paranoid And I admit I’m gettin’ pretty nervous, boy It just gets tougher everyday To sit around and watch it while it slips away Been called a traitor and a patriot Call me anything you want to but just don’t forget your history Dirty Lenny died so we could all be free F-U-C-K Fuck the FCC Fuck the FBI Fuck the CIA I'm Livin’ in the motherfuckin’ USA repeat--
They say you can't say no to drama, now you don't have to try so hard - "Kim Gordon and the Arthur Dolye Hand Cream", Sonic Youth It would be nice to answer questions with a capsule, but I don't deem myself that simple minded. It would be nice to think oblivion was a challenge, instead of an excuse. "The Kids Are Going To Love It", Million Dead Today New York kinda looks like Beirut, Beirut never looked liked New York, New York kinda cuts to the quick, as it quickens. "Relentless", Million Dead Come home, why don't you come home I cannot remember why you left, and I'd rather be happy than right this time "Come Home", The Dismemberment Plan We don't pretend a liver a lung a kidney a thumb lies in some heart of some beloved, because the best part is you never know just what yr capable of. "A Liver, A Lung, A Kidney, A Thumb", The Paper Chase Anything I can mistake in the dark for being what I'm looking for is good enough for me. And every face I saw was the same face. Anything I can mistake in the dark for being what I'm looking for is good enough for me. No longer soft as water must mean never was so. Ask the prettiest girl in any small town. Anything I can... "What Whorse You Wrote Id On", Owls. She'll turn once more to Thursday's rags, and cry behind the door. "All Tomorrow's Parties", Velvet Underground
I have bunches of lyrics i adore but this is one i'm into right no. i just transcribed it from piano to guitar... Neil Young After the Goldrush Well, I dreamed I saw the knightsIn armor coming,Saying something about a queen.There were peasants singing andDrummers drummingAnd the archer split the tree.There was a fanfare blowingTo the sunThat was floating on the breeze.Look at Mother Nature on the runIn the nineteen seventies.Look at Mother Nature on the runIn the nineteen seventies.I was lying in a burned out basementWith the full moon in my eyes.I was hoping for replacementWhen the sun burst thru the sky.There was a band playing in my headAnd I felt like getting high.I was thinking about what aFriend had saidI was hoping it was a lie.Thinking about what aFriend had saidI was hoping it was a lie.Well, I dreamed I saw the silverSpace ships flyingIn the yellow haze of the sun,There were children cryingAnd colors flyingAll around the chosen ones.All in a dream, all in a dreamThe loading had begun.They were flying Mother Nature'sSilver seed to a new home in the sun.Flying Mother Nature'sSilver seed to a new home.
Actually, just go here and read them all, you owe yrself: http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Million-Dead-lyrics/9220FA875A5997C248256DD50011E162

Codine An' my belly is craving, I got shakin' in my head I feel like I'm dyin' an' I wish I were dead If I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long time For I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on codine An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time When I was a young man I learned not to care Wild whiskey, confronted I often did swear My mother and father said whiskey is a curse But the fate of their baby is many times worse An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time You'll forget your woman, you'll forget about man Try it just once, an' you'll try it again It's sometimes you wonder and it's sometimes you think That I'm a-living my life with abandon to drink An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time Stay away from the cities, stay away from the towns Stay away from the men pushin' the codine around Stay away from the stores where the remedy is found I will live a few days as a slave to codine An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time An' my belly is craving, I've got a shakin' in my head An' I've started heating whether my body said Steady yourself with the grains of cocaine An' you'll end dead or you'll end up insane An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time An' my belly is craving, I got shaking in my head I feel like I'm dyin' an' I wish I were dead If I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long time For I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on codine An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time

Another Paper Chase one (you really need to hear this band): They don't know you like I do They don't know you like I do They don't know you like I do How could they know you like I do?
Can't remember the song but i liked these lyrics when I heard them a few years ago. Survival by loss of direction, and meaningful conversation, Beautiful lies and thrilling stands, Memories take us back to then
This was a hard choice to make, but I decided that I could not go wrong with: Pink Floyd-The Wall Another Brick in the Wall pt.2 We don't need no education We dont need no thought control No dark sarcasm in the classroom Teachers leave them kids alone Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone! All in all it's just another brick in the wall. All in all you're just another brick in the wall. We don't need no education We dont need no thought control No dark sarcasm in the classroom Teachers leave them kids alone Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone! All in all it's just another brick in the wall. All in all you're just another brick in the wall. "Wrong, Do it again!" "If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?" "You! Yes, you behind the bikesheds, stand still laddy!" Ironically I want to teach for a career
Well last time I did a Floyd and a Dylan song, so now I'll do a Cash song: "Man in Black"-written by Johnny Cash Well, you wonder why I always dress in black, Why you never see bright colors on my back, And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone. Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on. I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down, Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town, I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime, But is there because he's a victim of the times. I wear the black for those who never read, Or listened to the words that Jesus said, About the road to happiness through love and charity, Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me. Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose, In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes, But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back, Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black. I wear it for the sick and lonely old, For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold, I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been, Each week we lose a hundred fine young men. And, I wear it for the thousands who have died, Believen' that the Lord was on their side, I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died, Believen' that we all were on their side. Well, there's things that never will be right I know, And things need changin' everywhere you go, But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right, You'll never see me wear a suit of white. Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day, And tell the world that everything's OK, But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back, 'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black.
