SlyEnemy 2.0 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I always start this thread, and no-one is ever interested, but at least we have illdog, and he's easily please, so here I present the "Lyrics that make you fink and that" thread or "Lyrics what I proper like", however you see it, post the lyrics you reckon people should be reading... Here's one: Clem Snide - A Parable Shuffleboard the afternoon away for two and taste the plastic in my smile I can suffer if you really want me to For a parable it's really worth your while Is your life story about you? Because I just can't relate, But I've no reason to doubt you It's great. Lay your head here on my breast Coz I have food, and put your cookies in my milk This metaphor is just a door that you walk through Around the camp fire, it was late. Shuffleboard the afternoon away for two and taste the plastic in my smile I can suffer if you really want me to For a parable it's worth your while. And here's two: (You really should hear this song, it's beautiful) Smog - Vessel in Vain I can't be held responsible For the things I've seen For I am just A vessel in vain I can't be held responsible For the things I see For I am just A vessel in vain No boat out on no ocean No name there on no hull It's not a strain at all to remember those that I left behind They're all standing here beside me now and most of them with a smile My ideals got me on the run toward my connections with everyone My ideals have got me on the run toward my connections with everyone My ideals have got me on the run It's my connection with everyone Such free reign, for a vessel in vain.

relmatos Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I dont really like this group but whenever I hear this song it makes me think. POD -outh of the Nation Last day of the rest of my life I wish I would have known cause i'd have kissed my momma goobye. I didn't tell her that I loved her or how much cared or thank my pops for all the talks and all the wisdom he shared. Unaware I just did what I always do. Everyday the same routine before I skate off to school but who knew that this day wasnt like the rest, instead of takin the test I took two to the chest. Call me blind but I didn't see it comin and everybody was runnin but I couldn't hear nothin, except gun blast, it happened so fast I didn't really know this kid though I sat by him in class. Maybe this kid was reachin out for love or maybe for a moment he forgot who he was or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged, whatever it was I know its because CHORUS We are We are the youth of the nation (repeat)x4 Little Suzzy she was only twelve she was given the world with every chance to excel Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell she might act kinda proud but no respect for herself She finds love in all the wrong places the same situations but different faces. Changed up her pace since her daddy left her too bad he never told her she deserved much better. Johnny boy always played the fool, he broke all the rules so you would think he was cool. He was never really one of the guys no matter how hard he tried, with the thought of suicide It's kinda hard when you ain't got no friends, he put his life to an end they might remember him then. You cross a line and there is no turnin back he told the world how he felt with the sound of a gat. CHORUS x4 Whos to blame for the life that tragedies claim no matter what you say it won't take away the pain, that I feel inside I'm tired of all the lies don't nobody know why it's the blind leadin the blind. Guess that's the way that the story goes, will it ever make sense somebody's gotta know, there's gotta be more to life than this, there's got to be more to everything I thought exists (and I think people should pay more atention to the lyrics. It's the best part of the good songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I like Hooker With A Penis by Tool. Its about some fan coming up to the singer telling him he thinks he sold out and he was there in the beginning. This is his responce...... Hooker With A Penis I met a boy wearing Vans, 501s, and a dope Beastie t, nipple rings, and New tattoos that claimed that he was OGT, From '92, the first EP. And in between sips of Coke He told me that he thought we were sellin' out, Layin' down, suckin' up To the man. Well now I've got some A-dvice for you, little buddy. Before you point the finger you should know that I'm the man, And if I'm the man, then you're the man, and He's the man as well so you can Point that fuckin' finger up your ass. All you know about me is what I've sold you, dumb fuck. I sold out long before you ever heard my name. I sold my soul to make a record, dip shit, And you bought one. So I've got some A-dvice for you, little buddy. Before you point your finger you should know that I'm the man, If I'm the fuckin' man then you're the fuckin' man as well So you can point that fuckin' finger up your ass. All you read and wear or see and Hear on TV is a product Begging for your fatass dirty dollar So...Shut up and Buy my new record Send more money Fuck you, buddy.

illdog Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Some classic Gravediggaz lyrics, not exactly deep and meaningful but they can tell a good story using rhymes. This is verse 2 and 3 from 1-800-Suicide... Hey you little rich kid, what's your beef? Come and tell the Grym Reaper all of your grief You asked for a Benz and you only got a Jeep Your pop's got endz, but yo he's mad cheap Maybe you're a bastard child you think Mom and dad are white and you're dark as ink Maybe you're Sicilian with a tan But you hate lasagna and the pizza man Now you stand on the grave digga lott and You're singing the blues about the rough life you've got Not! You don't wanna live no more I guess you're really ready for the grave yard tour When you get home just seal up your windows and you doors Turn your oven on high for about four hours Light you a blunt, kiss your ass goodbye You gassed yourself 'cause it's a suicide Suicide, its a suicide, bidi-eye-bye, Suicide its a Suicide... Six fucking devils stepped up playing brave God Had the fucking nerve to try and enter my grave yard I'm the Rza-rector, be my sacrafice Commit suicide and I'll bring you back to life The first was convinced Stuck a water hose in his mouth at full blast so his head can explode Second said hmmmm that's good but I can top it Put an axe up to his head and then he chopped it Blood shot out in every direction The rest didn't know what to do, I made suggestions Put a slug in your mug, overdose on a drug Wet your hair stick a knife in the plug Or be like Richard Pryor set your balls on fire Better yet go hang yourself with a barbed wire Three and Four fell deep into spell and Ran to the zoo, locked themselves in a lion's den Number Five said it ain't worth being alive Smoked a dust suede, mixed it with cynaide The only one to escape was number Six He went home Sat in the tub and slit his wrists Yeah, more graves to dig. Goodbye There's no need to cry... ... cause we all die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hinn888 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Blue October - Hate Me About someone whose telling his mum to hate him so she can be happy I have to block out thoughts of you, so I don't lose my head They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I'm alone Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain An ounce of peace is all I want for you, Will you never call again? And will you never say that you love me just to put it in my face And will you never try to reach me, it is I that wanted space Hate me today. Hate me tomorrow. Hate me for all the things i didn't do for you. Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow. Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you. I'm sober now for 3 whole months, it's one accomplishment that you helped me with. The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won't touch again. In my sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate. You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take So I'll drive so fucking far away that I'll never cross your mind And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind Hate me today. Hate me tomorrow. Hate me for all the things i didn't do for you. Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow. Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you. And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I have made And like a baby boy I never was a man Until I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand And then I fell down yelling "Make it go away!" Just make her smile come back and shine just like it used to be And then she whispered "How can you do this to me?" Hate me today. Hate me tomorrow. Hate me for all the things i didn't do for you. Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow. Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyleth Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 A poem I wrote... It's about war... I shot a German today, He screamed in dismay, His face turned a funny shade of purple, then he ran in a crazy circle, He fell into a trench, Hit his head of a bench. Then his mate shot me.

DANGERMAN Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Leonard Cohen: The Stranger Song It's true that all the men you knew were dealers who said they were through with dealingEvery time you gave them shelter I know that kind of man It's hard to hold the hand of anyone who is reaching for the sky just tosurrender who is reaching for the sky just to surrender. And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind you find he did not leave you very much not even laughter Like any dealer he was watching for the card that is so high and wild he'll never need to deal another He was just some Joseph looking for a manger He was just some Joseph looking for a manger. And then leaning on your window sill he'll say one day you caused his will to weaken with your love and warmth and shelter And then taking from his wallet an old schedule of trains, he'll say I told you when I came I was a stranger I told you when I came I was a stranger. But now another stranger seems to want you to ignore his dreams as though they were the burden of some other O you've seen that man before his golden arm dispatching cards but now it's rusted from the elbows to the finger And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter. Ah you hate to see another tired man lay down his hand like he was giving up the holy game of poker And while he talks his dreams to sleep you notice there's a highway that is curling up like smoke above his shoulder It is curling just like smoke above his shoulder. You tell him to come in sit down but something makes you turn around The door is open you can't close your shelter You try the handle of the road It opens do not be afraid It's you my love, you who are the stranger It's you my love, you who are the stranger. Well, I've been waiting, I was sure we'd meet between the trains we're waiting for I think it's time to board another Please understand, I never had a secret chart to get me to the heart of this or any other matter When he talks like this you don't know what he's after When he speaks like this, you don't know what he's after. Let's meet tomorrow if you choose upon the shore, beneath the bridge that they are building on some endless river Then he leaves the platform for the sleeping car that's warm You realize, he's only advertising one more shelter And it comes to you, he never was a stranger And you say ok the bridge or some place later. I told you when I came I was a stranger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gothicat Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Just because when I was given _another_ nickleback song to listen to I was aprihensive but I really like this one.. its different.. *grins* Nickelback - Animals Lyrics I, I'm driving black on black Just got my license back I got this feeling in my veins this train is coming off the track I'll ask polite if the devil needs a ride Because the angel on my right ain't hanging out with me tonight I'm driving past your house while you were sneaking out I got the car door opened up so you can jump in on the run Your mom don't know that you were missing She'd be pissed if she could see the parts of you that I've been kissing Screamin' [CHORUS] No, we're never gonna quit Ain't nothing wrong with it Just acting like we're animals No, no matter where we go 'Cause everybody knows We're just a couple of animals So come on baby, get in Get in, just get in Check out the trouble we're in You're beside me on the seat Got your hand between my knees And you control how fast we go by just how hard you wanna squeeze It's hard to steer when you're breathing in my ear But I got both hands on the wheel while you got both hands on my gears By now, no doubt that we were heading south I guess nobody ever taught her not to speak with a full mouth 'Cause this was it, like flicking on a switch It felt so good I almost drove into the ditch I'm screamin' [CHORUS] No, we're never gonna quit Ain't nothing wrong with it Just acting like we're animals No, no matter where we go 'Cause everybody knows We're just a couple of animals So come on baby, get in Get in, just get in Look at the trouble we're in We were parked out by the tracks We're sitting in the back And we just started getting busy When she whispered "what was that?" The wind, I think 'cause no one else knows where we are And that was when she started screamin' "That's my dad outside the car!" Oh please, the keys, they're not in the ignition Must have wound up on the floor while we were switching our positions I guess they knew that she was missing As I tried to tell her dad it was her mouth that I was kissing Screamin' [CHORUS] No, we're never gonna quit Ain't nothing wrong with it Just acting like we're animals No, no matter where we go 'Cause everybody knows We're just a couple of animals So come on baby, get in We're just a couple of animals Get in, just get in Ain't nothing wrong with it Check out the trouble we're in We're just a couple of animals Get in, just get in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANGERMAN Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I could probably pick any number of shellac songs, but here' just one Shellac - Prayer to god To the one true God above: here is my prayer - not the first you've heard, but the first I wrote. (not the first, but the others were a long time ago). There are two people here, and I want you to kill them. Her - she can go quietly, by disease or a blow to the base of her neck, where her necklaces close, where her garments come together, where I used to lay my face... That's where you oughta kill her, in that particular place. Him - just fucking kill him, I don't care if it hurts. Yes I do, I want it to, fucking kill him but first make him cry like a woman, (no particular woman), let him hold out, hold back (someone or other might come and fucking kill him). Fucking kill him. Kill him already, kill him. Fucking kill him, fucking kill him, Kill him already, kill him, Just fucking kill him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I've never heard that song Ben, but I've read the words a few times before. One of Albini's more infamous songs (mind you, every Albini song is a bit in yer face). I'm currently listening to this one and it has some of my favourite lines. It's probably not hard to guess who it's about...... Leaders of the Free World by Elbow I’m sick of working for a living I’m just ticking off the days till I die I miss you Louise And the sickest little pleasures keep me going in between pulling teeth Periscope up I’ve been looking for a ladder I need to see the commander in chief And remind him what was passed onto me Well your mum don’t sleep! The friends you keep! I didn’t raise a thief! I didn't raise a thief! But the leaders of the free world Are just little boys throwing stones And its easy to ignore ‘til they’re knocking on the door of your homes My thinking isn’t driven But the music always gives me a lift I’m so easy to please But I think we dropped the baton like the 60’s didn’t happen. Oh no. Periscope up Should be looking for a ladder I need to see the commander in chief And remind him what was passed onto me Your mum don’t sleep! The friends you keep! I didn’t raise a thief! I didn’t raise a thief! Passing the gun from Father to feckless son We’re climbing a landslide where only the good die young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
