Odd lyrical themes...
 

What I want to do here is get some suggestions for song lyric themes for you guys. I'm perfectly capable of coming up with my own themes, of course, but want to expand my horizons a bit.

If anybody can throw me some ideas for lyrics, as weird as you like, I don't mind, then I promise to post up my attempts, no matter how crap they are. Actually, the weirder or more leftfield, the better as the idea is to get themes I haven't already considered...

Plus, if anybody else gets inspired by a suggestion on this thread then feel free to throw in your lyrics.

P.S. If you're reading this thread, respond. Everybody is capable of coming up with some kind of idea, so no excuses now.

If you want leftield or weird lyrics I suggest you take inspiration from Mark E Smith from the Fall.....

Thanks. I was a bit annoyed that you were the only person to respond and that all you'd given me was a link... but after checking out the lyrics there I've changed my mind! Thanks Urban, that was a great link.

Write about sploshing.

?

About what?

Do you mean jumping into puddles wearing wellington boots?

That or the sexual fettish of sploshing. It is where you throw foods that shouldn't go togther at your partner's crotch. Spells great fun (not reccomended by me)

So maybe:

Chocolate and sirloin
On your groin
Ketchup and cabbage
On my package

You can coat my knob
With crab paste and gin
But it might chafe
When it goes in


Yes. Very poetic.

In my house that is practically a sport http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...p/badteeth.gif

Right, so at the moment we've got:

Sploshing.
Contortionist midgets (from another thread)
Manginas (from another thread)

On the list of lyric topics. I'll carry on with a lyric for these later on.

Any other suggestions?

(I'm asking for leftfield lyric ideas remember. For me, sex-based lyrics aren't particularly novel, as that's what most of my songs are about anyway.)

pancakes

anal blowouts, i'd just love to see what you'd come up with. go on, humour me.

midgets http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...p/badteeth.gif

anal blowouts on contortionist transvestite midgits as they partake in the art of sploshing. this is starting to remind me of a bloodhound gang song.

Thankyou, more like that would be appreciated.

So its currently:

Sploshing.
Contortionist midgets (from another thread)
Manginas (from another thread)
Pancakes.
Anal blowouts.

Yes Moley, I may incorporate the themes into one giant prog-epic and then Booboo and Don can argue about it for the next five years.

can't wait...:D

I'd like to see one about a man who tries to kill himself by jumping off a bridge with a rope around his neck. (reason for suicide is entirely up to you)

But then he has a sudden change of heart and decides he wants to live, again the reason is up to you.

Miraculously the rope snaps and down he drops into the water below.
He thinks he's saved and can continue his life, however, due to the partial hanging, he is weak and sadly drowns (ironic isn't it?)

I want to know what's going through his head...begin.

weird thing this girl in my class was talking about
Sex with Ken dolls

Ok, so now its.

Sploshing.
Contortionist midgets
Manginas
Pancakes.
Anal blowouts.
Failed hanging but succesful suicide, despite change of mind.
Having sex with Ken dolls.
Suicide by adder (either/or's Cleopatra inspired idea from the other thread, I was wetting myself at this one)

My mate wants to answer to this!

If you're looking for a theme, remember it's the moral of a story or in this case a song. such themes are:
"keep your friends close and your enemies closer"
"radio has the best pictures"
"there are plenty more fish in the sea"
"there are plenty more rats in the sewer"
"love conquers all"
"better to starve than to be eaten"
"to a crow it's young is bright"
"beauty does not boil the pot"
"everything's not so cut and dried"
and so on, maybe do a search on old fables and sayings.

write about carpet burn.

What about writing as if you are some really sicko bastard who kills people or whatever that tries to justify his actions. And the justifications you make actually make sense and get people thinking. I've been trying to do something like this for a while but can never think up any ways to justify killing someone for no reason.

^thank you for making me start thinking. I'm going to write a themed album. I know this has been done before I just never thought of doing it myself. Not sure what it'll be about. Eh, I'll get bored and find out soon enough.

Hobo, there are quite a few great stories out that portray a kind of justifiable but rediculous murder. Maybe doing a bit of fictional reading will give you some ideas. I know of one Edgar Allen Poe story where a man is planning to murder the wealthy man he works for.

The employed house worker is also the narrator and so we get his side of the story. He hates the wealthy guy for this large left eye he has (some deformity) and he also hates the ticking of his heart stabiliser that he must have had surgery for. And every night he'll go up outside the rich mans bedroom door and stand for hours on end reeling off all these stories about why the old man should die.

It's clear this guy is a nutcase but he refuses to admit it, he'll attempt to say he's unique and a perfectionist though to the reader it's obvious the guys a bit derranged for standing outside this guys door every night for months, waiting for the right time to kill him. No sane person does that.

Anyway, the night happens and he finally kills this old guy, chops him up and buries him under the floor boards.

Next morning the police stop by and say the neighbours heard a scream and wouldlike to ask a few questions. The crazy guy is so sure of himself that he invites the police in, offers them some coffee, and a seat in the old mans bedroom where he is buried! Confidence or stupidity? Anyway, they start talking, the crazy guy makes up a convincing story about the old man being out of the house away on holiday. But while the police have a private chat, the narrator starts hearing things. The ticking of the old guys heart comes out of nowhere and now the narrator is getting nervous. Sweat starts pouring off his face as he thinks the police will hear it, though it's only something he's hearing. Then the police seem to be laughing at him though they're really just telling a small joke. The guys sitting there losing his mind and finally he gives in and rips up the floor boards.

I don't know if thats the kind of thing you were after hobo, but thats a story where a man is constantly assuring himself that he is perfectly normal and that it is the old guy who is a bit freaky, but really it's the other way around.

So the reasons for justifying a murder are quite alright...to an insane person.

Here's an idea...murder is a substitute for suicide to a deranged madman who is obsessed with death.
He kills to see what his own death would look like.

Jesus right-track I think you just blew my 15minute post right out of the water.

Can I copyright this idea? PLEEEEEEEEASE. No one else use it, it's mine....

Hands over permission to hobo...it's yours.

I want royalties. ;)

We'll see....

Damn your a hard man...I'll settle for a quid. :(

Hey that's a lot for you Mancs.... as we saw yesterday you seem content with settling for nothing....
