Lyrics that you think are great.

[andshelaughs]

some of my fav lyrics come from The Spill Canvas

here is a line that no one wishes to feel...

"Himerus And Eros" - The Spill Canvas

oh-how I wish I meant a little more then a symphony of heavy breathing
and the friction of hips

 

[Joe Schmoe]

I love Brian Eno's lyrics.

From "Some Of Them Are Old":

People come and go
and forget to close the door
and leave their stains and cigarrette butts
lying on the floor
some of them are old
and some of them are new
and some of them will turn up
when you least expect them to
and when they do
remember me, remember me
Lucy you're my girl
Lucy you're a star
Lucy please be still
and hide your madness in a jar
but when you do
it will follow you, it will follow you.

From "Backwater":
There was a senator from Ecuador
who talked about a meteor
that crashed on a hill
in the south of Peru
where it was found by a conquistador
who gave it to the emperor
and he passed it on to a Turkish guru
his daughter was slated for becoming divine
he taught her how to spend every dime
but if you study the logistics and heuristics of he mystics
you will find that their minds rarely move in a line
so it's much more realistic
to abandon such statistics
and resign to live life like a leaf on a vine.

COUSIN DUPREE

Well I've kicked around a lot since high school
I've worked a lot of nowhere gigs
From keyboard man in a rock'n ska band
To haulin' boss crude in the big rigs
Now I've come back home to plan my next move
From the comfort of my Aunt Faye's couch
When I see my little cousin Janine walk in
All I could say was ow-ow-ouch

CHORUS
Honey how you've grown
Like a rose
Well we used to play
When we were three
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree

She turned my life into a living hell
In those little tops and tight capris
I pretended to be readin' the National Probe
As I was watchin' her wax her skis
On Saturday night she walked in with her date
And backs him up against the wall
I tumbled off the couch and heard myself sing
In a voice I never knew I had before

CHORUS (see Above)

I'll teach you everything I know
If you teach me how to do that dance
Life is short and quid pro quo
And what's so strange about a down-home family romance?

One night we're playin' gin by a cracklin' fire
And I decided to make my play
I said babe with my boyish charm and good looks
How can you stand it for one more day
She said maybe its the skeevy look in your eyes
Or that your mind has turned to applesauce
The dreary architecture of your soul
I said- but what is it exactly turns you off?

I walk 47 miles of barbed wire,
I use a cobra-snake for a neck tie,
I got a brand new house on the roadsie,
Made from rattlesnake hide,
I got a brand new chimney made on top,
Made out of a human skull,
Now come on take a walk with me, Arlene
And tell me, who do you love?

Ellas Mc Daniel, 1956 better known as Bo Diddley!

 

[Joe Schmoe]

Well, I went home with the waitress
The way I always do
How was I to know
She was with the Russians, too

I was gambling in Havana
I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns and money
Dad, get me out of this

I'm the innocent bystander
Somehow I got stuck
Between the rock and the hard place
And I'm down on my luck
And I'm down on my luck
And I'm down on my luck

Now I'm hiding in Honduras
I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers, guns and money
The **** has hit the fan

Send lawyers, guns and money...

Warren Zevon

For those of us old enough to remember vietnam,the protests & race riots.

Frank Zappa.

Album, You are what you is.

Song, Dumb all over.

Whoever we are
Wherever we're from
We shoulda noticed by now
Our behavior is dumb....

And if our chances
Expect to improve
It's gonna take a lot more
Than tryin to remove
The other race
Or the other whatever
From the face of the planet altogether.

They call it THE EARTH
Which is a dumb kinda name
But they named it right
'cause we behave the same.......

We are dumb all over.........
Dumb all over
Yes we are
Dumb all over
Near n far
Dumb all over
Black n White.....
People,we is not wrapped tight.

Nerds on the left
Nerds on the right
Religious fanatics
On the air every night
Sayin the Bible
Tells the story
And makes the details sound real gory
'Bout what to do
If the geeks over 'there'
Dont believe in the book
We got over here.

You cant run a race
Without no feets.....
And pretty soon there wont be no streets
For dummies to jog on
Or doggies to dog on
Religious fanatics
Can make it be all gone
(i mean it wont blow up
N dissapear
It'll just look ugly
For a thousand years......)

You cant run a country
By a book of religion
Not by a heap
Or a lump or a smidgeon
Of foolish rules..........
Of ancient date
Designed to make you all feel great
While you fold,spindle
AND MUTILATE
Those unbelievers from a neighboring state.

TO ARMS!!! TO ARMS!!!
Hooray! thats great
Two legs ain't bad
Unless there's a crate
They ship the body parts
TO mama in.....
For souviners: two ears(get down!)
Not his..... not hers (but what the hey?)
The good book says:
"its gotta be that way!"
But "their book" says
" REVENGE THE CRUSADES!!!!!!!..........
With whips N chains and hand grenades.......

TWO ARMS? TWO ARMS?
Have another and another
Our god says:
"there ain't no other!"
Our god says:
"its all ok!"
Our god says:
"this is the way!"
It says in the book:
" BURN -N- DESTROY!.........
And repent and redeem
And revenge and deploy
And rumble thee forth
To the land of the unbelieving scum
on the other side........
'Cause they dont go for whats in 'the book'
And that makes em BAD!!!!!
So verily we must choppeth them up...
And stompeth them down.....
Or rent a nice french bomb...........................
To poof them out of existence.......
While we leave the real estate just where we need it!
To use again...........
For temples in which to praise (our god)
("cause he can really take care of business!")

And when his humble TV servant
With humble white hair
And humble glasses
And a nice brown suit
And maybe a blond wife who takes phone calls
Tells us "OUR GOD" says
its ok to do this stuff then we gotta do it!
'cause if we dont do it we ain't goin up to heaven!'
(Depending on which book your using at the time)
Cant use theirs...it dont work...its all lies..Gotta use mine!
Ain't that right?
Thats what they say
Every night
Every day...........
Hey,we can't really be dumb
If we're just following 'god's orders'
Hey,lets get serious.....
God knows what he's doing
He wrote this book here
And the book says!
He made US ALL to be just like him,"
soooooooo........
If we're dumb....
Then God is dumb...
(and maybe even a little ugly on the side)

(chorus)
Dumb all over
A little ugly on the side
Dumb all over
A little ugly on the side.


Remember, theres a big difference between kneeling down and bending over!
