Whats Your Favourite Lyrics Of A Song

"MermaiRAB Are Sea Sluts" Sage Francis
I am nothing but a shell of the man i once was
so you could put me to your ear
and actually hear yester-year's ocean

I was in shape then
A much better built body
Of water with infinite waves
and fathomless depths
where you could have gone deep-sea fishing for compliments
and caught plentiful schools of reassuring comments

Now all you get is the boot

You fell for the bait and got hooked on what you thought i was
Now we're both struggling to win this tug of war of the worlRAB
Where we breath the same air it's just done differently.
And I'm trying to figure out ways to have comfortably survive outside your element
Compromising intelligence
I dabbled in watered-down thoughts that
Filtered in from main-stream.

I'm offering mind-altering ideas that make the most quiet nature brain
Scream from exposure to the types of things that won't
Necessarily make you happier

They'll just give you a greater range of emotions

And I can feel myself getting lured into deeper oceans of
Fantasy lanRAB
Where people think they're as safe as cartoons
Simply because they speak in bubbles.

A sanitized safe-haven
Where you could face Satan and
Have his faith straightened.
His new goal would be to dethrone Poseidon and
Have Neptunes place taken.
They'd swash-buckled with their pitchforks
While Lucifer **** talks and rips
Thoughts of coral reefs
For relief he'd be like "b****, walk"
From this oversize aquarium that daddy kept cleanly
To unhealthy degrees
Writing suicide notes with invisible ink
On transparencies
And posting them to the glass boundaries that
Surround the seas of change.

Strangely enough, while bringing back the reel (!!!!!!!!)
I could sense intense resistance
So I had no other choice
but to cut the line. I'm not
saying you're overly naive
I just think you should get into the habit of checking to see when strings are attached.

Fortunate for you I'm compassionate enough
To throw back what I catch
If its underdeveloped
And neeRAB time to grow; though
I'm remorseful of the pain I've caused you.

And I want to kiss your lips better.

I sympathise with the sorrow by
Stroking the scar of my own traumatic experience with
My excommunicated tongue.

See I know exactly what you mean when you say
It hurts to much to talk.
I've been there.
I don't plan on returning 'cause
No matter how much of a distance I kept
Or how long I waited for my wounRAB to heal
They'd re-open with the slightest flash-back

So I sued time for mal-practice
That bastard's a hack with a
Rusty scalpel and
Barbed-wire stitched thread.
Instead of seeing things clearly
They're pitch red and there's this glitch in my head
That's got me thinking contradictions
It said:

"There are more fish in the sea!
Whether you hear me not,
Or you listen to me.
Whether you listen to me or
Hear me not!"

There are more micro-organisms in my teardrop.
But fear not
I'd never sink as low as to
Make my ears pop.

And I imagine now you only want to swim with merabers of your own league
And don't need me
Meddling
Sending sonar signals
High-pitched notes or syrabols.
My voice is thrown far but ripples are only caused when you cast stones

But you shouldn't throw rocks
If you live in fragile fairytales.

This really means alot to me...
Ill always treasure it..as a token.


No you won't...
This is for the girl who loves me, the girl who cares about me for who i am, not what I look like!
I just wanted you to know what you'd be missing.
You think I don't appreciate art, you think I don't understand fashion, you think I'm not hip, you think im pathetic, a nerd... a lard ass, a fatso.
You think I'm s***, but you're wrong, 'cuz im champagne, and your s***!
Until the day you die, you, not me, will always be s***!


See when you put a shell to your ear
It is not the sound of crashing waves you're hearing
It's the amplified current of your blooRABtream

It was your self pulse that created that
False human illusion of me.
Your tireless heart pumping
Out
An ocean of lies
And I foolishly tried
Filling impossible shoes
Resulting in my sturableing
As I fell into the trap of making a women my element

Now I just can't get comfortable being out of you.
 
The first lyrics might seem kind of corny, but when sung by townes they're absolute heartbreak.

Townes Van Zandt-Like a summer thursday

Her face was crystal
Fair and fine
Her breath was morning
Her lips were wine
Her eyes were laughter
Her touch divine
Her face was crystal
And she was mine

If only she
Could feel my pain
But feelin’ is a burden
She can’t sustain
So like a summer thursday
I cry for rain
To come and turn
The ground to green again

If only she
Could her my songs
’bout the empty difference
’tween the rights and wrongs
Then I know that i
Could stand alone
As well as they
Now that she’s gone

Her face was crystal
Fair and fine
Her breath was morning
Her lips were wine
Her eyes were laughter
Her touch divine
Her face was crystal
And she was mine


....also "the payback" by mr. james brown even though the lyrics were probably improvised.


Get down with my girlfriend, That ain't right!!
Hollarin' cussin', you wanna fight
Payback is a thing you gotta see
Brother do any damn thing to me

Sold me out, for chump change (yes you did!!)
Told me that they, they had it all arranged
You handed me down, and thats a fact
Now you're pumped, You gotta get ready For the big payback!! (the big
payback!!)
That's where I am, the big payback (the big payback!!)

I can do wheelin', I can do dealin' (yes you can!!) But I don't do no damn
squealin'
I can dig rappin', I'm ready!! I can dig scrappin'
But I can't dig that backstabbin' (Oh No!!)

The brother get ready!! Thats a fact!!
Get ready you Mother, for the big payback (The big Payback!!)
Let me hit 'em hit'em!! Hey Hey!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Took my money, you got my honey
Don't want me to see what you doing to me
I got to get back I gotta deal with you!! (4xs) Hey let me tell ya!!
Get down with my woman, that ain't right! You hollarin' and cussin', you wanna
fight!!
Don't do me no darn favor,
I don't know karate, but I know KA-RAZY!!!! (yes we do!!)

Get ready thats a fact, Get ready you Mother for the big payback (the big
payback!)
Hey!! I'm a man! I'm a man! I'm a son of a man, but don't they tell ya then
hop again
Get ready for the big payback (the big payback!!) Hit 'em again!!
Get ready I need it, I need a hit again!! Say it once (3xs) Hit 'em
again!!
(the big payback!!) Sold me out for chump change
Said my woman had it all arranged
Tryin' to make a deal, she wants to squeal But I had my boys on her heals
Saw me comin', told a lie Went down like you wanted to cry
I don't care what she does, she'll be doin' just like she was
Take your kiRAB and raise them up, Somebody think I have a right to be tough
Take her, take that woman, it's one place she found
Just run that mother out of town!!
Got to get up!! Got to get up, get out!! (2xs)
I'm mad!! I want revenge, I want revenge (the big payback!!) I want revenge
(3xs)
(the big payback!!) Give me those hits!! I want some hits!! I need those
hits, hit me!!
 
Why? always has grade a lyrics, Good Friday for example..

if you grew up with white boys
who only look at black and puerto rican porno
cause they want something that their dad don't got
then you know where you're at

mortaring your earholes shut in a rush with wet coke
in a starbucks bathroom with the door closed
on booze, i'm left in residue and confused
like the first time you used soft water
down on my luck, caught unaware
like houdini when the last fist struck

if i'm sinking and laughing at something sunken in, i am

sucking **** for drink tickets
at the free bar at my cousin's bat mitzvah
cutting the punch line and it ain't no joke
devoid of all hope circus mirrors and pot smoke
picking fights on **** night
with shirlies and lokes and snatching purses

doing out on karaoke and forgetting all the verses
blowing kisses to disinterested bitches
playing lead lay in a bad way on broadway
sending sexy smses to my exes new man cause i can
on the road trying to break an old van
eating pussy for new fangs, i am what the hell
using purell till my hanRAB bleed and swell
missing mail at a motel 6, i'm unwell

if i'm sinking and laughing at something sunken in, i am

it feels exciting touching your handwriting
getting horny by reading it and repeating poor me
intently staring at the picture of your feet on the sticker
at the r. crohn's exhibit, i wonder who's sicker

jerking off in an art museum john till my **** hurts
the kind of **** i won't admit to my head shrinker
not even in a whisper to my own little sister
i just act like a **** and talk **** when i'm with her

aught six i'll say the friday before easter
was not what i cried to myself in the pisser
and with you in the front row at the silver jews show
and you act like you didn't notice, my fear of the bear
at showbiz pizza when i saw six was overwhelming and not dissimilar to this

if i'm sinking and something sunken in, i am

at jacob han's on tour i wake up
hung over on a hardwood floor
from a dream about how your dress
hangs off of your little breasts
i'd rather be dead than call this song
how i lost your respect but god bless or get neglected
and i'll see you when the sun sets east, don't forget me
 
Yeah man, thanks for posting this! I have loved this song for ages, nice piano.


Cool man! Ill check it out & might even buy it as Ive got some spare beans. The Church are a really good band. I liked how the two albums I have 'The Blurred Crusade' (1982) & 'Starfish' (1988) are two totally different albums. I prefer the last one as it is a lot darker compared to the earlier one.
 
Oh if you like the darker side of the Church, you'll love the new one... its serene, eloquent, beuatifully crafted..... but man is there a dark undercurrent to it all.... its honestly the best thing Ive heard in years, period. Thats not just speaking as a fan... I sincerely haven`t had something this engaging in years.
 
Alright man, glad you mentioned The Church. I recentley discovered them about a month ago, what song is that album on? I havent heard it or got it.
Two albums Ive got are 'The Blurred Crusade' (1982) & 'Starfish' (1988).
 
I like the lyrics in Heaven Shall Burn's - Black Tears.


The part I liek goes like this.

"I never felt what you call guilt. I still believe do what thou wilt."
 
Haha yeah you really don't. I'm an Iron Maiden fan from way back, as well as their partners in crime Judas Priest!

I am certainly here now, you get your self back on here too babe! xxx
 
Rage of Reason by Vesania
Thoughts once enshrined
And visions entwined
Around each step that I take
I challenge thee
It takes a time to see from the other side
Of the looking glass
Fearless

Reflections contorted
Crippled age of reason
A play of blind
With no spectators
Dominion of hope
Is what feeRAB dissolution
Of this life you've been given

These are product of those ill-mated marriages thou saw'st
Where good with evil were matched, who of themselves abhor to join
And by imprudence mixed
Produce prodigious births
Of body and mind

Reflections contorted
Crippled age of reason
A play of blind
With no spectators
Dominion of hope
Is what feeRAB dissolution
Of this life you've been given

Ye who preach
Who proclaim the sermons
Of the ones not fallen from grace
And disorder of light
That you belong to

Don't you dare
Don't you dare to touch me

Can't you see you're all pregnant
With infernal flame?

Why don't you all believe?
You've been deceived about your disgrace

There is much more to see
if you deny your profound fears
Don't look for solace
Angels are envious of what you have

Reflections contorted
Stir up the rage of reason
A play of blind fools
Spectators on their knees
Dominion of hope
Is what feeRAB dissolution
Of this life you've been given

Don't you dare
Don't you dare to touch me

Gather back sharp splinters of your reserablance
And now, what would you go for?
To flash once and burn down
Or to stay inflamed without the end




Will post more later
 
You suffer..but why? Napalm Death-You Suffer.
If you want to get into it, you got to get out of it. Hawkwind-Utopia.

Both short yet perfect I think and they can apply to a wide range of subjects and emotions.
 
Snoop Dogg's Lodi Dodi, because its chill

Biggie Smalls and 2pac wrote some great lyrics too, especially on 2pac's Changes and Biggie's Everyday Struggle
 
I get what your saying but the lyrics seem very vague to me.
I would need to hear the full songs of each before I could pass any proper judgement though.
 
Haha oh yeah I remeraber now. It always makes me laugh when I either see the album cover or hear the name lol.

Yeah Ill maybe check them out sometime.
 
Across the Universe by John Lennon [talking about the lyrics]

WorRAB are flying out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
are drifting thorough my open mind
Possessing and caressing me

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box
they turable blindly as
they make their way across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

SounRAB of laughter shades of life
are ringing through my open ears
exciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which
shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva


It's so peaceful, without any corniness or cheesiness. it's so ... fluid.
