Brooks Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 The clouds prepare for battleIn the dark and brooding silence.Bruised and sullen stormcloudsHave the light of day obscured.Looming low and ominousIn twilight prematureThunderheads are rumblingIn a distant overture... --Jacob's LadderAwesomei LOVE that tune, esp the riff in 13 (i think?).i think phil lynott's lyrics are better than most;"there are people who dispise you,who analyze and criticise you,they'll scandalize and tell lies 'tilthey realize they should apologize, too.don't let them comprimise you,be wise too,you can do anything you wanna do".
DanT51 Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 My Favorite lyric is always the one I just wrote.SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA RUNSOMETIMES YOU GOTTA WALKSOMETIMES EVEN CRAWLGIRL YOU GOT ME WALKIN'CAUSE I'M TIRED OF CRAWLIN'GUESS YOU KNOW IT'S TIME TO RUNchorus from 'TIME TO RUN' copyright Dan Chavers 2007
serial Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 One Banana, Two Banana, Three Banana, FourFour Bananas make a bunch and so do many more.Flippin' like a pancake, poppin' like a cork.Fleagle, Beagle, Drooper and Snork.Makin up a mess of fun, Makin up a mess of fun,Lots of fun for everyone!Tra-la-laLa-la-la-laTra-la-laLa-la-la-la.Four Banana, Three Banana, Two Banana, OneAll Bananas playin' in the bright warm sun...OK, that was one of the first records I ever got (from a box of Kellogg's cereal-still have it).There are lots of lyrics that blow my head off. Sometimes, it's just a word-other times it's a phrase. I've always liked that Lit lyric. My current fave is by the Shazam (who have TONS of killer lyrics put to amazing power pop).Destiny's in her evening gownYou're always running lateYou tell her she looks wonderfulBut she'll just have to wait.

serial Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Steve,Have you heard this b4? I have it. It's pretty cool. It has your song on it by one of my favorite gals - Liz Phair...Saturday-Morning-Cartoons-Greatest-Hits cdI'd heard about that soundtrack, but never got to check it out. Isn't Matthew Sweet on that one too? Will DEFINITELY have to check it out!
cmatthes Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Liz Phair does that with Material Issue (before Jim offed himself, obviously!). Matthew Sweet is on that CD, as are the Ramones and a few other favorites.
blackfbiv Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 IMHO-Pink Floyd's The Wall is chock-filled with cool lyrics..This is a fave:Hey You (Waters)Hey you, out there in the coldGetting lonely, getting old Can you feel me?Hey you, standing in the aislesWith itchy feet and fading smiles Can you feel me?Hey you, dont help them to bury the lightDon't give in without a fight.Hey you, out there on your ownSitting naked by the phone Would you touch me?Hey you, with you ear against the wallWaiting for someone to call out Would you touch me?Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?Open your heart, I'm coming home.But it was only fantasy.The wall was too high, As you can see.No matter how he tried, He could not break free.And the worms ate into his brain.Hey you, standing in the roadalways doing what you're told, Can you help me?Hey you, out there beyond the wall,Breaking bottles in the hall, Can you help me?Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at allTogether we stand, divided we fall."Comfortably Numb" is another killer...DionEdited for spelling...
ScottM Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Rosanne Cash has some great lyrics.Like FugitivesThe priest is prayin' for your soulAnd the doctor for your heartSomeone tell me how to liveNow that we must live apartOnce we had a mother But that's all over nowSo wish her well and let her goJust as soon as you know howIt's a strange new world we live inWhere the church leads you to hellAnd the lawyers get the moneyFor the lives they divide and sellAnd the only truth believed in Is the one upon the screenSo we live our lives like fugitivesAnd we were born to live like queensAnd it's not hard to figure out who she's talking about here:Black CadillacIt was a black Cadillac drove you awayEverybody's talkin' But they don't have much to say There was a black sky of rainNone of it fellOne of us gets to go to heavenOne has to stay here in hellNow it's a lonely worldGuess it always wasMinus you and minus bloodMy blood It was a black CadillacLike one you used to driveNow you were always rollin' But those wheels burn up your lifeOh, it's a black heart of pain that I'm wearin'Suits me just fineOh, there was nothin' I could do for youWhen you were still aliveYeah, it's a lonely worldJust a numbers gameWell, a hundred years Will find me feelin' just the sameYeah, it's a lonely worldI guess it always wasMinus you and minus bloodMy blood
savethematches Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Well I'm the eighth generation to grow my ownButter beans, tobacco, a little pot in the cornGot four black angus and a belted hogChickens 'round the house and a country dog"I'm Country" by Trent Summar and The New Row Mob
