OK - this time around, you can post no more than one lyric, but feel free to analyse and pick to pieces other peoples' choices.
Here's my one, which seems quite appropriate to me at the moment.
"How Soon Is Now"
I am the son and the heir, Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar. I am the son and heir of nothing in particular.
You shut your mouth, how can you say I go about things the wrong way? I am human, and I need to be loved Just like everybody else does.
There's a club if you'd like to go, You could meet someone who really loves you. So you go and you stand on your own, And you leave on your own, And you go home, and you cry and you want to die.
When you say it's going to happen 'now' - Well, when exactly do you mean? See, I've already waited too long, And all my hope is gone.
You shut your mouth, how can you say I go about things the wrong way? I am human and I need to be loved, Just like everybody else.

Some of the greatest lyrics of all time. So fucking true at times.

This is the bit that gets me.

Outfit
You want to grow up to paint houses like me, a trailer in my yard till you're 23 You want to be old after 42 years, keep dropping the hammer and grinding the gears
Well, I used to go out in a Mustang, a 302 Mach One in green. Me and your Mama made you in the back and I sold it to buy her a ring.
And I learned not to say much of nothing and I figured you already know but in case you don’t or maybe forgot, I’ll lay it out real nice and slow
Don’t call what your wearing an outfit. Don’t ever say your car is broke. Don’t worry about losing your accent, a Southern Man tells better jokes. Have fun but stay clear of the needle. Call home on your sister’s birthday. Don tell them you’re bigger than Jesus, Don’t give it away.
Six months in a St. Florian foundry, they call it Industrial Park. Then hospital maintenance and Tech School just to memorize Frigidaire parts.
But I got to missing your Mama and I got to missing you too. So I went back to painting for my old man and I guess that’s what I’ll always do
So don’t let them take who you are boy, and don’t try to be who you ain’t. And don’t let me catch you in Kendale with a bucket of wealthy-man’s paint.
Don’t call what your wearing an outfit. Don’t ever say your car is broke. Don’t sing with a fake British accent. Don’t act like your family’s a joke. Have fun, but stay clear of the needle, Call home on your sister’s birthday. Don’t tell them you’re bigger than Jesus, Don’t give it away. Don’t give it away
Floops quesedillas zijn te vergelijken met het likken van fatsige Albert's aars nadat hij een fles laxeermiddel heeft leeggedronken. |

A nice heart and a white suit and a baby blue sedan And I am doing the best that I can All the eunuchs, they were standing in rows singing, "Please stud us out just as fast as you possibly can." Sad song, last dance and no one knows who the band was And Henry, you danced like a wooden Indian Except this one mattered and I felt it had a spirit And I shot the story because I didn't hear it that way And it's hard to be a human being And it's harder as anything else And I'm lonesome when you're around And I'm never lonesome when I'm by myself And I miss you when you're around
(modest mouse - baby blue sedan)

LBF, those lyrics are beautiful. I'm gonna have to get my hands on some Drive-by Truckers songs and hear what they're all about.
And that's one of my favorite Smiths' songs as well, Cheesemeister. Raw angst in a mental swoon - it perfectly describes a mood I was in far too often as a teenager.
We can only post one song, huh? I don't know that I can do it. I've been very indecisive lately. |

You had the chance to post a bunch last time round apl. You did pretty well if I remember.
Unfortunately Mr Moz's words don't necessary lose their relevance once you hit your twenties...
I liked those lyrics a lot as well Andy, very poignant. I like these threads, you get to see that behind the fluff there are good songs with proper meanings. Simon, I liked yours as well, but I think I'll have to read it a few more times to properly appreciate it.

Had a Jane's morning.
Oh baby, I'm so tired The man...from the government The man from the tax board The man from the public school The man owns the golden rule, yeah I'm everybody's slave I made you my slave You said This I do for you If I would help To give the world back What it gave Then I would I would I would I would I would for you I would for you You say my eyes Are crazy eyes Sometimes they are And so are you And if you wonder What I would do I would do Anything If I could You know I would I would I would I would for you I would for you I would for you I would for you I would for you |

I think he's a genius asa well as Brian Wilson
here's antoher one that I like:
Sylvilla looked into her mirror Percilla looked into the washing machine And the drudgery of being wed She was so jealous of her sister And her liberty, and her smart young friends She was so jealous of her sister Sylvilla looked into the wardrobe Percilla looked into the frying pan And the bacon and eggs And the breakfast is served She was so jealous of her sister And her way of life, and her luxury flat She was so jealous of her sister She threw away her dirty dishes just to be free again Her women's weekly magazines just to be free again And put the children in the nursery just to be free again Percilla saw her little children And then decided she was better off Than the wayward lass that her sister had been No longer jealous of her sister So she ran 'round the house with her curlers on No longer jealous of her sister

Trouble Oh trouble set me free I have seen your face And it's too much too much for me
Trouble Oh trouble can't you see You're eating my heart away And there's nothing much left of me
I've drunk your wine You have made your world mine So won't you be fair So won't you be fair
I don't want no more of you So won't you be kind to me Just let me go where I'll have to go there
Trouble Oh trouble move away I have seen your face and it's too much for me today
Trouble Oh trouble can't you see You have made me a wreck Now won't you leave me in my misery
I've seen your eyes and I can see death's disguise Hangin' on me Hangin' on me
I'm beat, I'm torn Shattered and tossed and worn Too shocking to see Too shocking to see
Trouble Oh trouble move from me I have paid my debt Now won't you leave me in my misery
Trouble Oh trouble please be kind I don't want no fight And I haven't got a lot of time

this is a horrible thread, I'm going to get my coffee spark up a cigarette and trawl through and find the other lyrics thread and post some happy nonsense lyrics.
(as an aside though, I went through a stage of not being able to listen to 'how soon is now' because it did that horrible heart-pull thing to me, you know that nasty dull ache in the chest thing. "I am human and I need to be loved" is such a desperate and honest plea, if it fails to affect anyone then they are frankly not human)
I look like the kind of guy who pimps his sister not just for the money, but because he hates her

I wasn't telling you off, don't worry. Its just that certain people overran the last thread with whole albums worth of Rival Schools songs (naming no names ), so I thought maybe we'd be a bit more specific this time round.
I don't actually know David Watts, only know of it, so its quite nice to be able to look at these words outside of the context of the music.

that's alright Cheeseman, and I agree with this idea of reading the lyrics without their musical context
and I love the Smiths' lyrics too, my favourite lyrics from them might be Heaven Knows... or Vicar In A Tutu, but they're all great

You're the night, Lilah. A little girl lost in the woods. You're a folk tale, the unexplainable
You're a bedtime story. The one that keeps the curtains closed. I hope you're waiting for me cause I can make it on my own. I can make it on my own.
It's too dark to see the landmarks. I don't want your good luck charms. I hope you're waiting for me across your carpet of stars. You're the night, Lilah. You're everything that we can't see. Lilah, you're the possibility.
You're the bedtime story. The one that keeps the curtains closed. And I hope you're waiting for me cause I can make it on my own. I can make it on my own.
Unknown the unlit world of old. You're the sounds I never heard before. Off the map where the wild things grow. Another world outside my door. Here I stand I'm all alone. Drive me down the pitch black road. Lilah you're my only home and I can't make it on my own.
You're a bedtime story. The one that keeps the curtains closed. And I hope you're waiting for me cause I can make it on my own. I can make it on my own.
You're the paint can falling off the wall at the door that slams at the end of the hall where the kid rings sounds of basketball. The battle of the earth of the angels. The shifting snow drifts so realistic, so realistic - call you carpet of stars. See there is something in the yard. It's awful dark. With the painted strings, the cross, the good luck charm, the prayer, the extra layer. The group ???...
And what the hell have I learned? |

This one instantly brings back a really nice time period in my life.
I said ’mama, he’s crazy and he scares me But I want him by my side Though he’s wild and he’s bad And sometimes just plain mad I need him to keep me satisfied’
I said ’papa, don’t cry cause it’s alright And I see you in some of his ways Though he might not give me the life that you wanted I’ll love him the rest of my days’
Misguided angel hangin’ over me Heart like a gabriel, pure and white as ivory Soul like a lucifer, black and cold like a piece of lead Misguided angel, love you ’til I’m dead
I said ’brother, you speak to me of passion You said never to settle for nothing less Well, it’s in the way he walks, It’s in the way he talks His smile, his anger and his kisses’
I said ’sister, don’t you understand? He’s all I ever wanted in a man I’m tired of sittin’ around the t.v. every night Hoping I’m finding a mr. right’
Misguided angel hangin’ over me Heart like a gabriel, pure and white as ivory Soul like a lucifer Black and cold like a piece of lead Misguided angel, love you ’til I’m dead
He says ’baby, don’t listen to what they say There comes a time when you have to break away’ He says ’baby there are things we all cling to all our life It’s time to let them go and become my wife’
Misguided angel hangin’ over me Heart like a gabriel, pure and white as ivory Soul like a lucifer Black and cold like a piece of lead Misguided angel, love you ’til I’m dead

Well I got a bad liver and a broken heart, Yeah, I drunk me a river since you tore me apart And I don't have a drinking problem, 'cept when I can't get a drink And I wish you'd a-known her, we were quite a pair, She was sharp as a razor and soft as a prayer So welcome to the continuing saga, She was my better half, and I was just a dog And so here am I slumped, I've been chipped and I've been chumped on my stool So buy this fool some spirits and libations, it's these railroad station bars And all these conductors and the porters, and I'm all out of quarters And this epitaph is the aftermath, yeah I choose my path, hey, come on, Kath, He's a lawyer, he ain't the one for ya No, the moon ain't romantic, it's intimidating as hell, And some guy's trying to sell me a watch And so I'll meet you at the bottom of a bottle of bargain Scotch I got me a bottle and a dream, it's so maudlin it seems, You can name your poison, go on ahead and make some noise I ain't sentimental, this ain't a purchase, it's a rental, and it's purgatory, And hey, what's your story, well I don't even care 'Cause I got my own double-cross to bear
And I'll see your Red Label, and I'll raise you one more, And you can pour me a cab, I just can't drink no more, 'Cause it don't douse the flames that are started by dames, It ain't like asbestos It don't do nothing but rest us assured, And substantiate the rumors that you've heard.
And what the hell have I learned? |

I like your twisted point of view Mike I like your questioning eyebrows You've made it pretty clear what you like It's only fair to tell you now that I leave early in the morning and I won't be back till next year I see that kiss me pucker forming but maybe you should plug it with a beer
cause Papa was a rodeo Mama was a rock n roll band I could play guitar and rope a steer before I learned to stand Home was anywhere with diesel gas Love was a trucker's hand Never stuck around long enough for a one night stand Before you kiss me you should know Papa was a rodeo
The light reflecting off the mirror ball looks like a thousand swirling eyes They make me think I shouldn't be here at all You know, every minute someone dies What are we doing in this dive bar How can you live in a place like this Why don't you just get into my car and I'll take you away
I'll take that kiss now, but.....
And now it's 55 years later We've had the romance of the century After all these years wrestling gators I still feel like crying when I think of what you said to me.....
What a coincidence, your Papa was a rodeo too

Would all future posters please list Band Name and song title with their lyrics - so i can download ones that seem pretty good! - especially ColdHeartofStone quite impressed with those song(s) listed! Here's my fave acclaimed but undersold Aussie band You Am I - If We Can't Get it Together
To get up the bond for an inner west flat He'd work for anybody if he wasn't working for her dad. She' practicing saying I do or I will 'cause she don't know how to tell him that she's going off the pill. Her curtains are for certain that he'll talk about her ass But she clings to his photo like a piece of broken glass. We can't get it together today. She's looking for his heart while he stares the other way. He's dad is a nut, he's ex-girl is a slut. But he'll be yours forever if you just get it together. If we can't get it together, if we can't get it together Is it ever gonna be just you and me?
So they met on Tuesday at the town hall steps To get an eight by ten photo and a wedding date set. We might as well do it next week 'cause we've met everybody that we're ever gonna meet.
He's dad is a nut, he's ex-girl is a slut But he'll be yours forever if you just get it together. If we can't get it together, if we can't get it together Is it ever gonna be just you and me?

Dashboard Confessional - The Best Deceptions
I heard about your trip I heard about your souveniors I heard about the cool breeze and the cool nights And the cool guys that you spent them with I guess I should have heard of them from you I guess I should have heard of them from you Well don't you see, don't you see That the charade is over And all the best deceptions and the Clever cover story awards go to you So kiss me hard 'Cause this will be the last time that I let you You will be back someday And this awkward kiss that tells of other people's lips Will be of service to giving you away I heard about your regrets I heard that you were feeling sorry I heard from someone that you wish you could Set things right between us Well, I guess I should have heard of that from you I guess I should have heard of that from you Well don't you see, don't you see That the charade is over And all the best deceptions and the Clever cover story awards go to you So kiss me hard 'Cause this will be the last time that I let you You will be back someday And this awkward kiss that screams of other people's lips Will be of service to giving you away To giving you away I'm waiting for blood to flow to my fingers I'll be alright when my hands get warm Ignoring the phone--I'd rather say nothing I'd rather you never heard my voice You're calling too late, too late to be gracious You do not warrant long goodbyes You're calling too late You're calling too late You're calling too late
God forbid I exude confidence and enjoy sex |

Patti Smith - Kimberly
The wall is high, the black barn, The babe in my arms in her swaddling clothes And I know soon that the sky will split And the planets will shift, Balls of jade will drop and existence will stop. Little sister, the sky is falling, I don't mind, I don't mind. Little sister, the fates are calling on you.
Ah, here I stand again in this old 'lectric whirlwind, The sea rushes up my knees like flame And I feel like just some misplaced Joan Of Arc And the cause is you lookin' up at me. Oh baby, I remember when you were born, It was dawn and the storm settled in my belly And I rolled in the grass and I spit out the gas And I lit a match and the void went flash And the sky split and the planets hit, Balls of jade dropped and existence stopped, stopped, stop, stop. Little sister, the sky is falling, I don't mind, I don't mind. Little sister, the fates are calling on you.
I was goin' crazy, so crazy I knew I could break through with you, So with one hand I rocked you and with one heart I reached for you. Ah, I knew your youth was for the takin', fire on a mental plane, So I ran through the fields as the bats with their baby vein faces Burst from the barn and flames in a violent violet sky, And I fell on my knees and pressed you against me. Your soul was like a network of spittle, Like glass balls movin' in like cold streams of logic, And I prayed as the lightning attacked That something will make it go crack, something will make it go crack, Something will make it go crack, something will make it go crack.
The palm trees fall into the sea, It doesn't matter much to me As long as you're safe, Kimberly. And I can gaze deep Into your starry eyes, baby, looking deep in your eyes, baby, Looking deep in your eyes, baby, looking deep in your eyes, baby, Into your starry eyes, oh.
Oh, in your starry eyes, baby, Looking deep in your eyes, baby, looking deep in your eyes, baby, oh.
Oh, looking deep in your eyes, baby, Into your starry eyes, baby, looking deep in your eyes, baby
--
Jódete, tío, Que se joda tu hermana, Que se joda tu hermano, Que se joda tu madre, Que se joda tu tía, ¡Porque soy policia!
Que se jodas, currante, Que se joda tu perro, Que se joda tu hijo, Que se joda tu amante, No me pidas razónes, Soy el Hombre ¡cojones! |

and:
So familiar and overwhelmingly warm This one, this form I hold now. Embracing you, this reality here, This one, this form I hold now, so Wide eyed and hopeful. Wide eyed and hopefully wild.
We barely remember what came before this precious moment, Choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside... This body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in This body makes me feel eternal. All this pain is an illusion. We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment, We are Choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside... This holy reality, this holy experience. Choosing to be here in...
This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion.
Alive
This holy reality, in this holy experience. Choosing to be here in...
This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion... Of what it means to be alive
Swirling round with this familiar parable. Spinning, weaving round each new experience. Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing chance to be alive and breathing.
This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality. Embrace this moment. Remember. we are eternal. all this pain is an illusion.

Que se jodas, currante, Que se joda tu perro, Que se joda tu hijo, Que se joda tu amante, No me pidas razónes, Soy el Hombre ¡cojones! |

Dans le port d'Amsterdam Y a des marins qui chantent Les rêves qui les hantent Au large d'Amsterdam Dans le port d'Amsterdam Y a des marins qui dorment Comme des oriflammes Le long des berges mornes Dans le port d'Amsterdam Y a des marins qui meurent Pleins de bières et de drames Aux premières lueurs Dans le port d'Amsterdam Y a des marins qui naissent Dans le chaleur épaisse Des langueurs Océanes
Dans le port d'Amsterdam Y a des marins qui mangent Sur des nappes trop blanches Des poissons ruisselants Ils vous montrent des dents A croquer la fortune A décroisser la lune A bouffer des haubans Et ça sent la morue Jusque dans l'coeur des frites Que leurs grosses mains invitent A revenir en plus Puis se lèvent en riant Dans un bruit de tempête Referment leurs braguettes Et sortent en rotant
Dans le port d'Amsterdam Y a des marins qui dansent En se frottant la panse Sur la panse des femmes Et ils tournent et ils dansent Comme des soleils crachés Dans le son déchiré D'un accordéon rance Ils se tordent le cou Pour mieux s'entendre rire Jusqu'à ce que tout à coup L'accordéon expire Alors, d'un geste grave Alors le regard fier Ramènent l'or batave Jusqu'en pleine lumière
Dans le port d'Amsterdam Y a des marins qui boivent Et qui boivent et reboivent Et qui reboivent encore Ils boivent à la santé Des putains d'Amsterdam De Hambourg ou d'ailleurs Enfin, ils boivent aux dames Qui leur donnent leurs jolis corps Qui leur donnent leurs vertus Pour une pièce en or Et quand ils ont bien bu Se penche le nez au ciel Se mouchent dans les étoiles Et ils pissent comme je pleure Sur les femmes infidèles
Dans le port d'Amsterdam Dans le port d'Amsterdam

Sorry for those of you who don't understand French, but these are probably the best lyrics I've ever heard.
