I agree, except Cassadaga had alot of pretty mediocre lyrics. Have you heard his lyrics for Desaparecidos?

"I could sell just like water takes the shape of where it is held I’m overflowing with arabition but I got to keep in mind the bottom line is the dollar signs and big bright lights inequality franchised the next location is mine we’re gonna lower costs it’s a work of art our giant golden arch I’m gonna start a factory the size of a country I’m gonna teach them all to work for liberty."
 
I am the horizon.
I have dreamed of tracing rings around this world.
My arms are stretched to forever.
My fingers shake with the fear of control.
The fear I know you all know so well.
We all lay claim to our destinies.
Yet we all rise and fall with the current.
 


"He was a skater boy
She said she you later, boy"

LOL only kidding!




Special - Garbage

I'm living without you
I know all about you
I have run you down into the ground
Spread disease about you over town

I used to adore you
I couldn't control you
There was nothing that I wouldn't do
To keep myself around and close to you

Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I couldn't care less

I...
I...

Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know

I used to amuse you
I knew that I'd lose you
Now you're here and begging for a chance
But there's no way in hell I'd take you back

Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I've run out of comments
I'm tired of the violence
I couldn't care less


Devour - Disturbed

Still enough
Although I know you're not begging
Still as the thoughts running through your mind
Still enough
Although I know you're not begging
Give me a reason to make you mine

I will devour you
Take all the pain away
I cannot stay my hand
From reaching out so that I can
Empower you
For all eternity
It seems to ease my mind
To know that you've brought
Meaning to my life

Had enough
Although I see you're not running
Still are the thoughts running through your mind
Dead to love
The path that you are now taking
Show me the reason to make you mine

I will devour you
Take all the pain away
I cannot stay my hand
From reaching out so that I can
Empower you
For all eternity
It seems to ease my mind
To know that you've brought
Meaning to my life

Run, to where the smallest ray of light will never find you
Run, to where you will not need to shield your eyes
Run, away from all the soulless, heartless fienRAB who hound you
Run, away and let your memories go blind, when I

I will devour you
Take all the pain away
I cannot stay my hand
From reaching out so that I can
Empower you
For all eternity
It seems to ease my mind
To know that you've brought
Meaning to my life


Falls On Me - Fuel

I've seen you hanging round
This darkness where I'm bound
And this black hole I've dug for me
And silently within
With hanRAB touching skin
The shock breaks my disease
And I can breathe

[Chorus]
And all of your weight
All you dream
Falls on me it falls on me
And your beautiful sky
The light you bring
Falls on me it falls on me

Your faith like the pain
Draws me in again
She washes all my wounRAB for me
The darkness in my veins
I never could explain
And I wonder if you ever see
Will you still believe?

[Chorus]

Am I that strong
To carry on?
I might change your life
I might save my world
Could you save me?
 
Post your favorite Lyrics here, here's mine:


You can spoon my eyes out,
but I can still see through you
Slice my ears from my head,
but you can not shut out the sounRAB of truth
Lock off each hand at the wrist
so I can't raise my fist!

you can kill the protestor (can't kill)
you can't kill the protest
you can murder the rebel (murder)
you can't murder the rebellion

Sawed my feet at the ankles, but i wasnt going to run
Grabbed my face, sliced off my tongue
Lock off each hand at the wrist,
so I can't raise my fist!

you can kill the protestor (can't kill)
you can't kill the protest
you can murder the rebel (murder)
you can't murder the rebellion

LYING STILL NOW, NO WAY TO SPEAK. NOTHING TO FEAR, BULLETS CAN'T SILENCE IDEAS!


That is a song by anti-flag.
 
Two Shaves and a Shine by Nurse With Wound

In little sunrise of goblin eyes,
I watch the coupling of the flies.
Under waving trees and burable bees
I strain to amputate my knees.
With ****roach cutters made of mutton,
My eyes gleam green as moss jade buttons.
I will not wake from childish dreams
 
Cut my life into pieces
This is my last resort
Suffocation no breathing
Don't give a **** if I cut my arm bleeding

This is my last resort

Cut my life into pieces
I've reached my last resort
Suffocation no breathing
Don't give a **** if I cut my arm bleeding
Do you even care if I die pleading
Would it be wrong, would it be right
If I took my life tonight
Chances are that I might
Mudilation out of sight
And I'm contimplating suicide

'Cause I'm losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine

I never realized I was spread too thin
Till it was too late and I was empty within
Hungry, feeding on my chaos and living in sin
Downward spiral, where do I begin
It all started when I lost my mother
No love for myself and no love for another
Searching to find a love upon a higher level
finding nothing but questions and devils

'Cause I'm losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine

Nothing's alright, nothing is fine
I'm running and I'm crying
I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying

I can't go on living this way

Cut my life into pieces
This is my last resort
Suffocation no breathing
Don't give a **** if I cut my arm bleeding

Would it be wrong, would it be right
If I took my life tonight
Chances are that I might
Mudilation out of sight
And I'm contimplating suicide

'Cause I'm losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine

Nothing's alright, nothing is fine
I'm running and I'm crying

I can't go on living this way

Can't go on living this way
Nothing's alright

Papa Roach Last resort!
 
Baby let me bang your box - Daddy Cool

Well my baby had a party the other night
The party was gettin' dead
I spied a piano in the corner
Looked at my baby and said

Baby let me bang your box, baby let me bang your box
Baby let me play your eighty-eight
I'm gonna play 'til the whole house rocks

When I was young they called me Piano Bill
When I was young they called me Piano Bill
'Cause I played so fine I gave everybody a thrill

(Oh) baby let me bang your box, baby let me bang your box
Baby let me bang your box, (hey) baby let me bang your box
Baby let me play your eighty-eight
I'm gonna play 'til the whole house rocks

I've been bangin' since I was a kid of four
I've been bangin' since I was a kid of four
I'll be bangin' 'til I can't bang no more

Oh-oh baby let me bang your box, baby let me bang your box
Baby let me bang your box, hey baby let me bang your box
Well baby let me play your eighty-eight
I'm gonna bang 'til the whole house rocks

I've been playin' piano, large and small
But you've got the best piano of all
I banged everyone in the neighbourhood
Never banged one that sounRAB so good
I've got a shuffle, a back beat, a boogie woogie too
But when I play my jelly roll you won't know what to do

Baby let me bang your box, baby let me bang your box
Oh, baby let me play your eighty-eight
I'm gonna play 'til the whole house rocks

Bang, bang, bang Mister Bill, bang, bang, bang Mister Bill
Bang, oh-oh, bang Mister Bill, Gee but you give me a thrill
(Bang, bang, bang Mister Bill)
Bang, oh-oh, bang Mister Bill, Gee but you give me a thrill
(Bang, bang, bang Mister Bill)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh


I know they're not that great, but I love 'em
 
This has probably been done before, but I figured we could have a thread for just posting some of your favorite lyrical snippets (not whole songs) from some of your favorite authors. Here's some of mine, off the top of my head:

"We are artists
We are mathematicians
Some of us hold extremely
High positions

But we are tired
We're hardly breathing
And we're free
Go tell the women that we
 
Led Zepplin's Stairway to Heaven:

There is a lady, who is safe that everything, which sparkles is gold
And it buys a stairway to the sky.
If it receives there, it knows, if all memory is closed
For with a word it can receive, which came it.
Ooh, ooh and them buy a stairway to the sky.

There is an indication on the wall, but she would like to be safe
because sometimes you know, worRAB have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there is a singing bird, which sings,
Sometimes all are our thoughts misgiven.
Ooh, he educates me to miracle,
Ooh, he educates me to miracle.

There is a feeling, that, I, if I look to the west receive,
And my spirit walk for leaving.
In my thoughts I saw rings of the smoke by the trees,
And the voices of those those, which stand looking.
Ooh, he educates me to miracle,
Ooh, he really educates me to miracle.

And it whispered that soon if we all call the melody
Then leaRAB piper us to conclude.
And a new day dawns for those, which long
And the forests resound with laughter against.

If a hasty bustle in their hedgerow, are alarms not now you gives,
It is a spring straight, which is clean for May queen.
There are two ways, which can pass you, but on a long-term basis
There is calm time to change the road which you are switched on.
And it educates me to miracle.

Their head hums and it does not go, if you do not know,
Pipers, which call you, in order to connect it,
If lady loves, can hear you through the wind burn and you knew
Their stairway is on whispering the wind.

And like we on down the road windings
Our shade more highly than our soul.
There goes a lady we, who all
Who shines white light and would like to represent
As everything turns still at gold.
And if you hear very strongly
The melody comes to you finally.
If all are, everything is one and one
Its a rock and do not roll.

And it buys a stairway to the sky.
 
Both by Opeth:


1. Windowpane

Blank face in the windowpane
Made clear in seconRAB of light
Disappears and returns again
Counting hours, searching the night

Might be waiting for someone
Might be there for us to see
Might be in need of talking
Might be staring directly at me

Inside plays a lullaby
Slurred voice over children cries
On the inside

Haunting loneliness in the eye
Skin covering a secret scar
His hand is waving a goodbye
There's no response or action returned

There is deep prejudice in me
Outshines all reason inside
Given dreams all ridden with pain
And projected unto the last



2. In My Time Of Need

I can't see the meaning of this life I'm leading
I try to forget you as you forgot me
This time there is nothing left for you to take, this is goodbye

Summer is miles and miles away
And no one would ask me to stay

And I should contemplate this change
To ease the pain
And I should step out of the rain
Turn away

Close to ending it all, I am drifting through the stages
Of the rapture born within this loss
Thoughts of death inside, tear me apart from the core of my soul

Summer is miles and miles away
And no one would ask me to stay

And I should contemplate this change
To ease the pain
And I should step out of the rain
Turn away

At times the dark's fading slowly
But it never sustains
Would someone watch over me
In my time of need
 
Watch while I'm burned in salt
tell me now where's my fault
I'm torn in two, you pull me through
oh ignore my shout now scrape me out
Oh, nation murders me, me, me
suck me down your hose
pieces of my fingers and toes
use me to brew your lab rat stew
oh dissolve my voice for your woman's choice
my execution, it's your revolution
spill my blood on "civil" hanRAB
and I pay to make you free
oh, nation murders me
yeah, with poiticians dreams
now silencing my screams, screams, screams
Execution by Grammatrain

I came home tonight
I felt like I'd die of loneliness
Strange you think, popularity
I'm looking for a simple life,
life ain't simple
I'm sick and tired, I don't wanna be alone
I go to a party, but I don't really want to
So now i'm sitting out here on my porch
writing in the dark air, listening to
my little black cat miau
I'm trying to vent some of the terrible passion
that's coursing through me
There's something about you
There's something about spending the afternoon
asleep in your arms
I hate you
F*cker
F*ucker by the Eels

Shaking like a dog sh*ttin' razorblades,
waking up next to nothing after dreaming of you and me
I'm waking up all alone, waking up so relieved
while you're taking your time with apologies,
I'm making my plans for revenge
Red eyes on orange horizons
If Colurabus was wrong I'd drive straight off the edge
I'd drive straight off the edge

Taking your own life with boredom,
I'm taking my own life with wine -
it helps you to rule out the sorrow,
it helps me to empty my mind
Making the most of a bad time
I'm smoking the brains from my head
Leaving the coal calling the kettle black and orange and red
This kettle is seeing red

I've got a big fat f*ckin' bone to pick with you my darling
In case you haven't heard I'm sick and tired of trying
I wish you would take my radio to bathe with you,
plugged in and ready to fall

Shaking like a dog sh*ttin' razorblades,
waking up next to nothing after dreaming of you and me
Waking up all alone, waking up so relieved
while you're taking your time with apologies,
I'm planning out my revenge
Red eyes on orange horizons
If Colurabus was wrong I'd drive straight off the edge
I'm seeing red

I've got a big fat f*ckin' bone to pick with you my darling
In case you haven't heard I'm sick and tired of trying
I wish you would take my radio to bathe with you,
plugged in and ready to fall

Plugged in and ready to fall
Plugged in and ready to fall

Plugged in and ready to fall
Radio by Alkaline Trio

A billion people died on the news tonight
But not so many cried at the terrible sight
Well mama said
It's just make believe
You can't believe everything you see
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
On the news tonight

Who's the one to decide that it would be alright
To put the music behind the news tonight
Well mama said
You can't believe everything you hear
The diagetic world is so unclear
So baby close your ears
On the news tonight
On the news tonight

The unobtrusive tones on the news tonight
And mama said
Mmm

Why don't the newscasters cry when they read about people who die
At least they could be decent enough to put just a tear in their eyes
Mama said
It's just make believe
You cant believe everything you see
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
On the news tonight
The News by Jack Johnson
 
The barons of the industry put inspiration on Hitler’s tongue
Then the century crashed hard with a loud sound like a starting gun
It’s a race for acquisition and to make more things that glow
I’ve got a knack for dodging bullets and flying zeroes
So I act like I am rich, try and make it my whole look
Because poor people don’t exist when times are good

Mozart’s foster parents put cigarettes out in his ears
When he got old enough to stutter, he said, “I don’t listen but I-I-I, I can hear”
The eloquence of traffic, yeah, the mill pond’s sad lament
It’s a requiem of moments, I keep living through them
But where is the monster in the closet? I can’t find the hangman inside his hood
I guess evil don’t exist when times are good

Doctor Oppenheimer winced when he felt the broken piece of his pacemaker
Unbuttoned his shirt on a subway platform, clutching his chest while his vision blurred
He saw the bane of his creation. The destroyer of the world
Yeah, truth can lead to solace or a lifelong bender
It’s like wading through a wasteland where a town you loved once stood
You just cry each time you think of when times were good

Napoleon’s tailor dressed him in a giant hat and funny platform shoes
He said, “Anyone can be a hero, you just got to force people to look up to you”
So when you’re talking on the hotline to a suicidal soul
Don’t let your voice sound like hot coffee, more like a scented pillow
And strive for understanding over being understood
Just don’t let yourself forget when the times get good
When times get good
When times get good
 
This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stanRAB, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
In a...desperate land

Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the King's highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby

Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold

The west is the best
The west is the best
Get here, and we'll do the rest

The blue bus is callin' us
The blue bus is callin' us
Driver, where you taken' us

The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...I want to...**** you

the end by the doors
 
I thought of another good one:
Tammy flunked a test yesterday and all she does is cry
if they kick her off the cheerleaders squad
she knows she's gonna die
she can't even go home at night because she is so afraid
that her parents might ground her
'cause she didn't make the grade
now her frienRAB won't understand they might even laugh at her,
now she's feeling overwhelmed suc***bing to the pressure
so she wrote a little note and addressed it to her mom
she said i hope this brings you peace
pray for me until i'm gone.

Lately something's wrong with jane she's always late for school
she can't take another day of her girlfrienRAB being cruel
she's great on all the football fielRAB ringing out all the cheers
but in the halls of school she gets tormented by her peers
as long as she's a cheerleader everything's gonna be alright
but unlike all the othergirls she's home at friday nights
just to be excepted once, was her one and only wish
but she never was at all
she sliced her lovely wrists.

Marsha was a straight A girl on the cheerleadrs team
everyone thought she was stupid
always lost in a big dream
and they named her ****t was stinging cause of the way that she would talk
all the girls would laugh behind her back
and the boys stopped the ball to mock
and now she's feeling so bad she's refusing to speak
her parents are a bit worried
she hasn't spoken in a week
it's like she's crying out for help and it seems she lost all hope
her parents found her a day later hanging from a knotted rope.

Nancy's got the worst of it because she's prettiest
everyone thinks she's conceited she always looks her best
she goes out with all the football guys and every one thinks she
is much too popular not to have lost her virginity.
she has no one she can turn to when she's feeling really sad
and last night on her date some guy raped her really bad
all she wanted was to be loved but she always felt so cheap
so she stole some sleeping pills ate them all and when to sleep

Stupid reasons why (reasons why...)
they all had to die (suicide...)
Stupid reasons why (resons why)
they all had to die (suicide)
stupid reasons why (reasons why)
they all had to die (suicide)
stupid reasons why (resons why)
they all had to die
suicide... suicide.... suicide... suicide....


That is called 4 dead cheerleaders by the Dropkick Murphys
