Random Song Lyrics
 
How about a thread on song lyrics. Ones you like, or dont like. Ones that are funny, or profound...

The rivers are full of crocodile nasties
and He who made kittens put snakes in the grass.
He's a lover of life but a player of pawns ---
yes, the King on His sunset lies waiting for dawn
Jethro Tull - Bungle in the Jungle

and my time is a piece of wax
fallin' on a termite who's chokin' on the splinters
Beck - Loser

The morn' that I was born my old man beat up the doctor
He clocked the doctor cause the doctor said I looked like Chewbacca
The doctor said sir you're misled sir which infers you mistook me
I did not mean your lovely wife was shackin' up with a wookie
Bloodhound Gang - Why is everbody always pickin' on me?

'Forget your lust for the rich man's gold,
all that you need is in your soul.
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied.'
Lynyrd Skynyrd - SIMPLE MAN

I met someone at the dog show
She was holding my left arm
But everyone was acting normal so I tried to look nonchalant.
We both said, "I really love you,"
The Shriners loaned us cars
We raced up and down the sidewalk twenty thousand million times

Why did they send her over anyone else?
How should I react? These things happen to other people
They don't happen at all, in fact

When you're following an angel
Does it mean you have to throw your body off a building?
Somewhere they're meeting on a pinhead
Calling you an angel, calling you the nicest things
I heard they had a space program
When they sing you can't hear, there's no air
Sometimes I think I kind of like that and
Other times I think I'm already there

Gonna ask for my admission
Gonna speak to the man in charge
The secretary says he's on another line,
Can I hold for a long, long time?
I found out she's an angel
I don't think she knows I know
I'm worried that something might happen to me
If anyone ever finds out

Why, why did they send her over anyone else?
How should I react? These things happen to other people
They don't happen at all

When you're following an angel
Does it mean you have to throw your body off a building?
Somewhere they're meeting on a pinhead
Calling you an angel, calling you the nicest things
I heard they had a space program
When they sing you can't hear, there's no air
Sometimes I think I kind of like that and
Other times I think I'm already there

When you're following an angel
Does it mean you have to throw your body off a building?
Somewhere they're meeting on a pinhead
Calling you an angel, calling you the nicest things

Great one, bell! One of my favorites.

We could do a whole thread of TMBG songs. :)



How about:

Rows of houses, all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out

This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
And fade out again and fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out again

Immerse your soul in love
IMMERSE YOUR SOUL IN LOVE

Best,

Kurt

A classic:

Quote:

When you cast your eyes upon the skylines
Of this once proud nation
Can you sense the fear and the hatred
Growing in the hearts of its population

And our youth, oh youth, are being seduced
by the greedy hands of politics and half truths

The beaten generation, the beaten generation
Reared on a diet of prejudice and mis-information
The beaten generation, the beaten generation
Open your eyes, open your imagination

We're being sedated by the gasoline fumes
and hypnotised by the satellites
Into believing what is good and what is right

You may be worshipping the temples of mammon
Or lost in the prisons of religion
But can you still walk back to happiness
When you've nowhere left to run?

And if they send in the special police
To deliver us from liberty and keep us from peace

Then won't the words sit ill upon their tongues
when they tell us justice is being done
and that freedom lives in the barrels of a warm gun

Sort of anti-American, but sometimes the truth hurts...

Ten score years ago
Defeat the kingly foe
A wondrous dream came into being
Tame the trackless waste
No virgin land left chaste
All shining eyes but never seeing

Beneath the noble bird
Between the proudest words
Behind the beauty cracks appear

Once with hands held high
They sang out to the sky
Why do their shadows bow in fear

Watch the cities rise
Another ship arrives
Earth's melting pot, and ever growing
Fantastic Dreams come true
Inventing something new
The greatest minds, but never knowing

Beneath the noble bird
Between the proudest words
Behind the beauty cracks appear

Once with hands held high
They sang out to the sky
Why do their shadows bow in fear

The guns replace the plow
Facades are tarnished now
The principles have been betrayed
The dreams gone stale
But still let hope prevail
History's debt won't be repaid

Beneath the noble bird
Between the proudest words
Behind the beauty cracks appear

Once with hands held high
They sang out to the sky
Why do their shadows bow in fear

Rush - Beneath, Between, Behind (the first song Neil ever wrote, IIRC)

So I signed my name on number 24, hey!
Yeah the judge said, "Boy, just one more
I'm gonna throw your ass in the city joint"
Looked me in the eye, said, "You get my point?"
I said "Yeah!, Oh yea!"

The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin
That's what I said.
The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand
Or so I have read.
My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo.
I love to sink her with my pink torpedo.

Well that was easy waiting
Everything's easy now
The days are Oh So Normal
But oh, Hannah
how I miss you
Now

I used to lock myself in your bathroom
Swallowing the codeine kept for your back
Numb, so numb
I'd let your words
Come and come
So come on -
Kill me now
Kill me now
Kill me now
Because I'm leaving you now

That was easy, but how I miss you
Now

I watched you clean the filth off your phone dial
Swallowing the things your finger picked up
Tongue, your tongue
I watched your tongue licking on
Eeuuw
So come
Come on tongue
Ah, come on tongue
Kill me now
Kill me now
Kill me now
As I'm leaving you now

That was easy, but how I miss you

I knew a girl named nikki
I guess u could say she was a sex fiend
I met her in a hotel lobby

Probably shouldn't quote the rest. This should be sufficient for anyone who remembers.

Andre is at the piano
behind the Ivar in the Sewers
with a buck a shot for pop tunes
and a fin for guided tours
he could have been in Casablanca
he stood in line out there all day
but now he's spilling whiskey
and learning songs about the one that got away

well I've lost my equilibrium
my car keys and my pride
tatoo parlor's warm
and so I huddle there inside
the grinding of the buzz saw
whatchuwanthathingtosay
just don't mispell her name
buddy she's the one that got away

King of the Cowboys

I used to watch you When I was little
The games I played I learned from you
I kept dreaming You kept playing
When I woke you were 62

Say goodbye to the King of the Cowboys
First and last of a Dying breed
Say goodbye to the King of the Cowboys
Chained to a life He doesn't lead

You told the truth You were always ready
Whether with your gun Or with your hand
It was lies But I never knew it
You taught me how to Act like a man

Say goodbye to the King of the Cowboys
First and last of a Dying breed
Say goodbye to the King of the Cowboys
Chained to a life He doesn't lead

Say goodbye to the King of the Cowboys
First and last of a Dying breed
Say goodbye to the King of the Cowboys
Chained to a life He doesn't lead


Lipstick Traces

Your pretty brown eyes, your wavy hair,
I won't go home no more, 'cause you're not there.
I'm telling you now like i told you before,
I'm so in love with you,
Don't leave me no more.

Lipstick traces on a cigarette,
Every memory lingers with me yet.
I got it bad like i told you before,
I'm so in love with you,
Don't leave me no more.

(won't you come on home?)
Won't you come on home?
(won't you come back home)
Won't you come back home?
I'm crazy 'bout you, can't live without you,
Won't you come back home?

I'm telling you now like i told you before,
I'm so in love with you,
Don't leave me no more.

(won't you come on home?)
Won't you come on home?
(won't you come back home)
Won't you come back home?
I'm crazy 'bout you, can't live without you,
Won't you come back home?

Lipstick traces on a cigarette,
Every memory lingers with me yet.
I'm telling you now like i told you before,
I'm so in love with you,
So don't leave me no more.

Don't leave me no more, (leave me no more)
Don't leave me no more, (leave me no more)
Don't leave me no more, (leave me no more)
Don't leave me no more, (leave me no more)
Don't leave me no more. (leave me no more)
(leave me no more)


Fish Heads

Fish heads, fish heads, rolly polly fish heads
Fish heads, fish heads, eat them up
Yumm!

Fish heads, fish heads, rolly polly fish heads
Fish heads, fish heads, eat them up
Yumm!

In the morning, laughing happy fish heads
In the evening, floating in the soup

Fish heads, fish heads, rolly polly fish heads
Fish heads, fish heads, eat them up
Yumm!

Ask a fish head anything you want to
They won't answer, they cant talk

Fish heads, fish heads, rolly polly fish heads
Fish heads, fish heads, eat them up
Yumm!

I took a fish head out to see a movie,
Didn't have to pay to get it in

Fish heads, fish heads, rolly polly fish heads
Fish heads, fish heads, eat them up
Yumm!

They can't play baseball, they don't wear sweaters
They're not good dancers, they don't play drums

Fish heads, fish heads, rolly polly fish heads
Fish heads, fish heads, eat them up
Yumm!

Rolly Polly fish heads are never seen drinking cappuccino in
Italian restaurants with Oriental women.
Yeeaahh

Fish heads, fish heads, rolly polly fish heads
Fish heads, fish heads, eat them up
Yumm!

Fish heads, fish heads, rolly polly fish heads
Fish heads, fish heads, eat them up
Yumm!

Yum!

Fish heads, fish heads, rolly polly fish heads
Fish heads, fish heads, eat them up
Yumm!

Fish heads, fish heads, rolly polly fish heads
Fish heads, fish heads, eat them up
Yummmm!

Yeeaahh

I was born in a Groesbeck Hurricane.
And I howled at my ma in the drivin' rain....

I ain't an educated man
As all you Fleet Street
preachers know,
It's just the simple things
in life
Get my motor running,
ready to go.
If I can make you smile
I will raise my glass,
An' if you don't like it
Then, baby, you can
kiss my ass!
You can tell me it's
wrong,
But, I love wine, women
an' song.

Wore starched white shirts, buttoned at the neck
And he'd sit in the yard and watch the chickens peck

And his teeth were gone, but what the heck
I thought, he walked on water.

I'm no stranger to the rain
I'm a friend of thunder
Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me
I've fought with the devil
Got down on his level
But I never gave in, so he gave up on me

I'm no stranger to the rain
I can spot bad weather
And I'm good at finding shelter in a downpour
I've been sacrificed by brothers
Crucified by lovers
But through it all I withstood the pain
I'm no stranger to the rain

But when I get that foggy feeling
When I'm feeling down
If I don't keep my head up, I may drown
But it's hard to keep believing
I'll even come out even
While the rain beats your hope in the ground
And tonight it's really coming down

I'm no stranger to the rain
But there'll always be tomorrow
And I'll beg, steal, or borrow a little sunshine
And I'll put this cloud behind me
That's how the Man designed me
To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane
I'm no stranger to the rain

Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain

I'm no stranger to the rain
I'm a friend of thunder
Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me
But I'll put this cloud behind me
That's how the Man designed me
To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane
I'm no stranger to the rain

Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain

--Keith Whitley, Stranger to the Rain

Oh out near Stonehenge, I lived alone
Oh out near Gamehendge, I chafed a bone
Wilson, King of Prussia, I lay this hate on you
Wilson, Duke of Lizards
I beg it all trune for you

Talk my duke a mountain, Helping Friendly Book
Inasfar as fiefdom, I think you bad crook
Wilson, King of Prussia, I lay this hate on you
Wilson, Duke of Lizards
I beg it all trune for you

I talked to my son Roger, Rutherford the same
[or "I talked to Mike Christian, Rog and Pete the same"]
When we had that meeting, over down near Game(henge)
Wilson, King of Prussia, I lay this hate on you
Wilson, Duke of Lizards
I beg it all trune for you

You got me back thinkin' that you're the worst one
I must inquire, Wilson
Can you still have fun?
Wilson
Can you still have fun?
Wilson
Can you still have fun?
Wilson
