"Bitches will be bitches as they smash in my chevy"

When you cried as a little baby
Mom and daddy let you cry
Thought that that was the best way maybe
To make you grow all strong inside
Now that you're older
You need someone's shoulder
What about mine?
paul westerberg

pretty much all of "seventy times seven" by brand new. jesse lacey is basically saying "**** you i hope you die", but he says it so eloquently!

same with "me vs. maradona vs. elvis". it's about taking advantage of a drunk girl but again, eloquence.

"seventy times seven"

So is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish
I've seen more guts on eleven-year-old kids
Have another drink and drive yourself home
I hope there's ice on all the roads
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt
and again when your head goes through the windshield

Is that what you call tact?
You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back
So let's end this call and end this conversation
And is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
Cause you left the frays from the ties you severed
when you say "best friends" means friends forever


"me vs. maradona vs. elvis"

With one or two I get used to the room
We go slow when we first make our moves
But five or six bring you out to the car
Number nine with my head on the bar
And it's sad, but true
Out of cash and I.O.U's
I got desperate desires and unadmirable plans
My tongue will taste the gin and malicious intent
Bring you back to the bar, get you out of the cold
A sober straight face gets you out of your clothes
And they're scared that we know all the crimes they'll commit
Who they'll kiss before they get home
I will lie awake
Lie for fun and fake the way I hold you
Then you'll fall for every empty word I say
Barely conscious in the door where you stand
Your eyes are fighting sleep while your mouth makes your demands
You laugh at every word, trying hard to be cute
I almost feel sorry for what I'm gonna do
And your hair smells of smoke
Who will cast the first stone?
You can sin or spend the night all alone
Brass buttons on your coat hold the cold
In the shape of a heart that they cut out of stone
You're using all your looks that you've thrown from the start
If you let me have my way, I swear I'll tear you apart
Cause it's all you can be
You're a drunk and you're scared
It's ladies night, all the girls drink for free
I will lie awake
Lie for fun and fake the way I hold you
Then you'll fall for every empty word I say...

you have to listen to them both to get the full effect. trust me.

And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to nought
Or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
The time is gone
The song is over
Thought I'd something more to say

"Chocolate rain, made me cross the street the other day"

Blue yonder dreams and second hand shoes
You're so far gone that you live to close
And it's too late to go home all alone
You're the tar in that old cigar
And the worn out cable on a cable car
And you're too tired to admit you've got to chose

I'm looking for a song to sing
I'm looking for a friend to borrow
I'm looking for my radio
So I might find a heart to follow
I've never been just longing for your loving
I've never been just wearing down to nothing
I've never been just looking for a reason
So that maybe you'd be thinking of me

- Hanson, A Song to Sing

It's my favorite song...it's melancholy, and really poetic, IMO...love it.

And you could have it all. My empire of dirt. I will let you down. I will make you hurt.

Johnny Cash - Hurt

Y'all want a single say **** that - Korn

all we got to show what we really are is the same kind of scars

"Last night I heard Lepers flinch like birth defects"

(The Mars Volta, "Inertiatic ESP")

"If I would, could you?"

(Alice In Chains, "Would?")

"We're all wounded in our respective ways"

(Bayside, "The Walking Wounded")

"If you really want to live, why not try and make yourself?"

"If you let them make you, they'll make you Paper-Mache
At a distance you're strong, until the wind comes
Then you'll crumble and blow away.
If you let him **** you there will be no foreplay.
Rest assured, They'll screw you complete, Until your ass is blue and grey!"


(Incubus, "Make Yourself")

"I will walk away and say
You ****ing disappoint me
Maybe you're better off this way!"


(A Perfect Circle, "Passive")

Whats your favorite position?
That's cool with me Its not my favorite
But I'll do it for you
Whats your favorite dish?
I'm not gonna cook it
But ill order it from Zanzibar

It's actually written by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails.

Right now it has to be:

I wanted to put myself in your position to figure you out
So I took a chainsaw to my skull and extracted my brain out

-"Outrageous" - Bitter Ruin - We're Not Dancing

"But oh no, no, I see them falling.
Let's all pray for rain, Let's all pray for rain.
And all your children are reared by panic and fear.
But what when all your fields are rotten,
your waves of grain, amber waves of grain?
And your word is yet done: Inbreed us 'till we're all the same."
Two Gallants - Waves of Grain


"Well I come from the old town baby,
where all the kids are crazy."
Two Gallants - Steady Rollin'


"Goodnight my Anda-Lucia.
Don't buy all the lies that they feed ya.
And though you're heading slowly to some place I can't respect,
I'll keep you in my collection of regrets."
Two Gallants - Las Cruces Jail


"**** man
I just woke up to a land where killing is part of every day
and every mind in this intelligent species
is then blinded into the battlefield
like it's natural for us to break instead of build"
Enter Shikari - Fanfare for the Conscious Man


"Is your love really Love?
Is my love really Love?
I think our love isn't Love,
Unless it's Love to the end.

Is your god really God?
Is my god really God?
I think our god isn't God,
If he fits inside our heads."
As Cities Burn - Clouds

My Name is Death and the End is here

I've been loving the starkness and the cold reality of these lyrics lately, I dunno why but everytime i hear this song i get a kinda sobering chill, it's musically fairly barren and stark as well which really lets the lyrics filter through as well...

On Angel Street : the Church

Sunday disappears into a fog
Darkness invites us all inside
To hide amongst the lamplight radial glow

Shadow in the pool
Winter in the wind
A message in the fallen leaves

Cruise down to the plaza in your Merc
Never really know how or where to go
Blow me down you're outside a bank on Angel Street

I arrive but never leave
You leave but never stay
It kind of reminds me of the salad days

I saw your brother during lunch
I saw at once that he was lost and he was mad
He had been standing in the rain to get some snow

But the snow it couldn't fall
The people all go home
And he just kind of stood there helplessly

You should change the message on your machine
So sad, so strange baby to hear my name
Makes me cry when you say we're not at home

And the line it just goes dead
And the trail it just goes cold
I guess that story's told anyway

far too many, but right now i'm digging this line:

it might be simple, it might be true
I might be overwhelmed by you

(L)

I have so many, but my latest (as in TODAY) are......

"This is a cold war, do you know what you're fighting for?"
-Janelle Monae, Cold War

"Who gave you permission to rearrange me? Certainly not me."
-Erykah Badu, Certainly

One two three
She's a real left winger 'cause she been down south
And held peasants in her arms
She said "I could tell you a story that could make you cry"
"What about you?"
I said "Me too"
"I could tell you a story that will make you cry"
And she sighed "Ah"
I said "I wanna be a singer like Lou Reed"
"I like Lou Reed" she said sticking her tongue in my ear
"Let's go, let's sit, let's talk"
"Politics go so good with beer"
"And while we're at it baby, why don't you tell me one of your biggest fears?"
I said "Loosing my penis to a whore with disease"
"Just kidding" I said
"Losing my life to a whore with disease"
She said "Excuse me please?"
I said "Losing my life to a whore with disease"
I said "Please... I'm a humble guy with a healthy desire"
"Don't give me no **** because..."

The single line I'm digging the most currently would have to be:

Why can't I see the sunspots in your eyes?

mostly because of how it's delivered.

I agree with the whole delivery of song lines notion you put forward there... the song I posted earlier today makes those songlines say so much more when you consider the delivery of the lyrics - in a cold, stark broken hearted fashion... it's truly the perfect song for uniting it's lyrical theme with it's musical delivery.

Because this city, this city is haunted, there's no hope, left for these souls

Alexisonfire - This could be anywhere in the world.

brand new - good to know that if I ever need attention all I have to do is die

"Clothes ripped like The Incredible Hulk. I spit when I talk. I'll F*ck anything that walks."

"Im..Hot, Sticky and Sweet, From my Head, Head, to my Feet yeah"...

"And I guess I'll never know, why sparrows love the snow."

Those lines from Owl City's Saltwater room stuck out to me.

Lol this reminds me of a friend of mine. haha

In general P.O.S. is my favorite lyricist

Jump into that water and see for yourself
Take a deep breath and hold it in, hold it in

She's got a secret and she wants to tell
But I made a promise to hold it in, hold it in

Baby I'm in love and maybe it's not to tell
Only thing that I can do is hold it in, hold it in

I was told that I'm a man now and I'm not allowed to cry
The only thing that I can do is hold it in, hold it in

Hah!

[Refrain]
But life is "Oh my God, if I tell him, he'll tell her, and then she will know I like her!"
Good grief! I don't think that I can take this heartbreak any longer
I will not hold it in
Hooo! Hooo! Hoooo!

Well the couple with the baby and it's no secret why
Neither one was able to hold it in, hold it in

Kids in the streets, yeah they're all getting high
Everybody's screaming "hold it in, hold it in!"
Ha-hey!

[Refrain]
But life is "Oh my God, if I tell him, he'll tell her, and then she will know I like her!"
Good grief! I don't think that I can take this heartbreak any longer
I will not hold it in
Hoooo!

If there's a God, He's embarrassed and it's no secret why
The only thing that He can do is hold it in, hold it in

So I printed him a letter to be sent out to sea
I'm looking for a bottle to hold it in, hold it in
Ha!

[Refrain]
But life is "Oh my God, if I tell him, he'll tell her, and then she will know I like her!"
Good grief! I don't think that I can take this heartbreak any longer
I will not hold it in
Hoooo!

Boxes of cats, people with Taz tattoos, explosive personalities, self-centeredness, protractor from junior geometry sets, inability to do math, geography...

So many, too little time.

Not a well known one, but by Dire Straits:

"If she was the Ace and I was the Jack and the cards were never seen, we could have been the King and the Queen". - Planet of New Orleans.

Some great lyrics on all of the songs on the album On Every Street.

"i wasn't 'poor', i was po', i couldn't afford the 'or'" -big l "lifestylez ov da poor & dangerous"

just one of many brilliant turns of phrase in the work of L

"Directionless so plain to see, a loaded gun won't set you free."

Best. Lyric. Ever.

"So the FBI they rewarded him, 'cause they like a guy who will stab a friend."

At the moment:

"Outside, the rain is tappin' on the leaves. To me, it sounds like they're applauding us the quiet love we've made."

That is lovely actually^

When I shot him, I was so handsome
It was the light, it was the angle

The whole of O'malley's Bar is a brilliantly ghastly character portrait, but I think that line is probably the best. I've been getting more and more into Nick Cave recently.

"You don't go in the bathroom with me"
From Horror Business by The Misfits

Classic.

"My silence solidifies, til that hollow void erases you, erases you so I cant feel at all, but if I never feel again at least that nothingness will end the painful dream of you an me." by Missy Higgins.
