Neutral Milk Hotel - The King of Carrot Flowers Pt.One
When you were young you were the king of carrot flowers and how you built a tower tumbling through the trees In holy rattlesnakes that fell all 'round your feet and your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder and dad would throw the garbage all across the floor as we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for and this is the room one afternoon I knew I could love you and from above you how I sank into your soul into that secret place where no one dares to go and your mom would drink till she was no longer speaking and dad would dream of all the different ways to die each on a little more than he could dare to try

Hey Nikita is it cold In your little corner of the world You could roll around the globe And never find a warmer soul to know
Oh I saw you by the wall Ten of your tin soldiers in a row With eyes that looked like ice on fire The human heart a captive in the snow
Oh Nikita You will never know anything about my home I'll never know how good it feels to hold you Nikita I need you so Oh Nikita is the other side of any given line in time Counting ten tin soldiers in a row Oh no, Nikita you'll never know
Do you ever dream of me Do you ever see the letters that I write When you look up through the wire Nikita do you count the stars at night
And if there comes a time Guns and gates no longer hold you in And if you're free to make a choice Just look towards the west and find a friend
Oh Nikita You will never know anything about my home I'll never know how good it feels to hold you Nikita I need you so Oh Nikita is the other side of any given line in time Counting ten tin soldiers in a row Oh no, Nikita you'll never know
I will show you fear in a handful of dust |

Pavement - Here
i was dressed for success but success it never comes and i'm the only one who laughs at your jokes when they are so bad and your jokes are always bad but they're not as bad as this
come join us in a prayer we'll be waiting waiting where everything's ending here
and all the sterile striking it defends an empty dock you cast away and rain upon your forehead where the mist's for hire if it's just too clear let's spend our last quarterstance randomly go down to the outlet once again
painted portraits of minions & slaves crotch mavens and one night plays are they the only ones who laugh? at the jokes when they are so bad and the jokes they're always bad but they're not as bad as this
come join us in a prayer we'll be waiting waiting where everything's ending here
and all the spanish candles unsold away have gone to this and a "run-on piece of mount on" trembles, shivers, runs down the freeway i guess she spent her last quarter randomly i guess a guess is the best i'll do last time last time was the best time... we spent randomly

and Lou Barlow's Mary:
"written from the perspective of jesus' earth-bound biological daddy" said the man before playing the song
immaculate conception, yeah right crazy mary it's good that you lied a test tube baby, seed of the lord breaking the law with the man next door
blame it on an angel, they'll believe joseph will wonder but you know he won't leave they all love you like i still do magic in the air, swirling all around you
mary, mary under veil of stars you changed the world you broke my heart thank you mary, you saved me too they'd stone us both if they ever knew
sold out the manger, well allright the mystery baby got a supernova spotlight they say that he's the one brother joseph got a king for a stepson
mary kissed me and we lost control the oldest story never told crazy mary you're forever divine they'll never know the baby's mine

I have never enjoyed so much reading lyrics as I'm enjoying with Robert Pollard's/GBV ones, I think he's such a good writer, I could post here lots of them, because I think that some of them are just pure poetry and pieces of art.
Watch Me Jumpstart
Watch me jumpstart as the old skin is peeled See an opening and bust into the field Hidden longings no longer concealed Watch me bulldoze every bulldozer away Each new obstacle from each old new day Where it's going it's hard for me to say
And shoot me down And bring me down But I won't be around As you run through the places you love I remember the faces that cry And they're pulling me back so I have to die
And watch me jumpstart at the first light of day Each new sensation just blows me away Don't look now, don't look now, I'm a phase Straight from ground zero, X marks the spot I can't pretend to be something I'm not 'Cause I'm a supernova erect and white hot
And shoot me down And bring me down But I won't be around As you run through the places you love I remember the faces that cry And they're holding me back so I have to die
And watch me jumpstart I'm Maximum Jack Shot through the cosmos like an alien attack Film finished, fade into black.
I'd comment but I'll hold my tongue |

(seeing as the rules have been abandoned)
I never thought of this as funny It speaks another world to me I wanna be your Easter bunny I wanna be your Christmas tree
I'll strip the world that you must live in Of all its godforsaken greed I'll ply the tar out of your feathers I'll pluck the thorns out of your feet You and me You and me You and me
And if I choose your sanctuary I'll want to wash you with my hair I'll want to drink of sacred fountains And find the riches hidden there
I'll eat the lotus and peyote I'll want to hear the caged-bird sing I'll want the secrets of the temple I'll want the finger with the ring You and me You and me You and me
And if you make me your religion I'll give you all you will need I'll be the drawing of your breath I'll be the cup if you should bleed I'll be the sky above the Ganges I'll be the vast and stormy sea I'll be the lights that guide you inland I'll be the visions you will see Visions you will see You will see You will see You and me You and me You and me You and me

If I get old, I will not give in But if I do, remind me of this. Remind me that, once I was free, Once I was cool, once I was me.
And if I sat down, and crossed my arms, Hold me into, this song.
Knock me out, smash out my brains, If I take a chair, start to talk shit.....
If I get old, remind me of this: That night we kissed, and I really meant it.
Whatever happens, if we’re still speaking. Pick up the phone, play me this song.

For that perfect combination of erotic and depressing, you can always count on REM:
"I want you naked, I want you wild I want the stars to know they win Give me that smile, just give it to me Just turn it on, I'm lost again"

because Kathryn is right and I don't need (much of) an excuse to post rem lyrics:
I don't know why you're mean to me When I call on the telephone And I don't know what you mean to me But I want to turn you on turn you up figure you out I want to take you on
These words, "You will be mine" These words, "You will be mine" all the time
The fool might be my middle name But I'd be foolish not to say I'm going to make whatever it takes, Ring you up call you down sign your name secret love Make it rhyme take you in and make you mine
These words, "You will be mine" These words, "You will be mine" all the time
---
Call your bathroom friends around I will fake a little frown I will be your little clown, Easily defeated Yeah, shut the door and open wide Seconal and astroglide Fuck with me and traumatize Don't you see I love your hide? All the beauty that's trapped inside Can't you see I love your hide? Can't you see I love your hide? Can't you see it?
---
Pull your dress on and stay real close Who might leave you where I left off? A perfect circle of acquaintances and friends Drink another, coin a phrase
---
You've got a little worry, I know it all too well, I've got your number, But so does every kiss-and-tell Who dares to cross your threshold, Or happens on your way, Stop laying blame You know that's not my thing
The easiest way to sleep at night is to carry on believing that I don't exist |

A wonderful forum-er sent me this song by Mike Doughty and I think it's beautiful and poetic.
Unsingable Name
I want to be your absolute ultimate Want to be your only one now Feel the wave come up from your sulkiness Feel the rays you radiate now
Sweet and plain unsingable name That rings in my mind now That strums me like a string Shine, unsingable name Over everything
Beware the thrum of hearts in your presence and Watch the breeze that snaps at you now All the dogs that bark from the fences and Everything is wanting for you Smirk on the face and fists in the clenches and Make the radiator blow now Crack the planks and shatter the lenses and Mix the salt, the sugar and flour
Slushing, sleeting through the blue gloom Some long bell’s lonely ring Chime, unsingable name Over everything
I want to see the mountains in silhouette Want to split for Singapore now I want to see the mystery trees Want to hear the womanly sound
I still believe in the excellent joy of the Catholics

because I am listening to it and I really do pity anyone who doesn't love this band.
You can force it but it will not come. You can taste it but it will not form. You can crush it but it's always here. You can crush it but it's always near Chasing you home saying everything is broken Everyone is broken.
You can force it but it will stay stung. You can crush it as dry as a bone. You can walk it home straight from school. You can kiss it you can break all the rules But still everything is broken, Everyone is broken.
Why can't you forgive me?
Why can't you forgive me?

A Song For Europe
Here as I sit At this empty cafe Thinking of you I remember All those moments Lost in wonder That we'll never Find again Though the world Is my oyster It's only a shell Full of memories And here by the Seine Notre-Dame casts A long lonely shadow |

I sleep with my hands across my chest, And I dream of you with someone else, I feed my body with things that I don't need, Until I sink to the bottom, Don't act like it came as a surprise, Don't believe me even look into these eyes
This cant go on so I should just, Regret it, regret it, regret it, And even though I left you I'll, Forget it, forget it, forget it
I'm going missing for a while, I've got nothing left to lose, I'll listen to anything
I still remember how you moved, And I can taste your scent on my lips, Well how it started I will never know, But now I've reached my limit
This cant go on so I should just, Regret it, regret it, regret it, And even though I left you I'll, Forget it, forget it, forget it
I'm going missing for a while, I'll listen to anything, I've got nothing left to lose, I'm going missing for a while, I've got nothing left to lose, I'll listen to anything
Do you ever want to wear your body out, Until there's nothing left to take, The one began to push away, As midnight come to soon again
I'm going missing for a while, I've got nothing left to lose, I'll listen to anything, I've got nothing in defence, I've got nothing left to lose, I'll listen to anything
I sleep with my hands across my chest, And I dream of you with someone else
I want to live, breathe, I want to be part of the human race |

I'll be quiet to keep you quiet. Don't concern yourself with my slow dying. Through the vents I hear you sigh. I don't get too high these days. Your floor is my ceiling. Lights out, you can't come in. If you don't remind me, I won't forget you. If you don't ask, I won't upset you. I am jet black. I am stone cold. Jet black to the center. Funny like a funeral. I need you to bury me. White noise in black room dust. These hands long for one last touch. Hourglass all out of trust. I don't scratch so I won't itch. I don't reach so I won't miss. I taste our last kiss. This is the cure: the same as the symptom. Simple and pure: break to keep fixing. Patiently nurse, patient and nurse. This is the part I wouldn't show you. The part where you say, "I don't even know you." This is your cue. Be glad it's through.

It's in your arms, it's in your heart: your beauty, Even in this world of lies. You've got innocence, you've got purity In your eyes, Even in this world of lies you're still hopeful, Very sexy, OK, OK.

Goofy name but excellent song, killer music, sweet, sweet lyrics.
I'm a wishbone And I'm breaking Yeah, I'm wishing for Adda Lee
And the lake sings And the dogs don't, They are quiet for Adda Lee, Adda Lee
I'm sorry and I miss you And away, I went away Coz I wished I was away, I wished I was away A wishing well Of well wishing And Adda waves away, Adda waves away
Heroine of the stars I don't know where I am But I know who you are
Adda Lee, Adda Lee And she whispered And she left me a man For the world Adda Lee, Oh Adda Lee, Oh Adda Lee

THIS/This is stranger than I ever thought Six different ways inside my heart And everyone I'll keep tonight Six different ways go deep inside
I'll tell them anything at all I know I'll give them more and more
They think I'm on my hands and head This time they're much too slow
Six sides to every lie I say It's that American voice again It was never quite like this before Not one of you's the same
This is stranger than I thought Six different ways inside my heart And everyone I'll keep tonight Six different ways go deep inside

I was your boyfriend when we were 15, it’s the happiest that I’ve ever been. Even though we didn’t understand how to do much more than just hold hands. There’s so much about you I miss, the clumsy way we used to kiss. I wish I’d convinced you you’d made a mistake, if memory serves we’re still on a break. Other girls went and other girls came, I can’t get over my old flame. I’m still in love with, Emily Kane. Every girl I’ve seen since looks just like you when I squint. I know you said it’s for the best, I still don’t understand why you left. There’s so much about you I miss, every time I see a couple kiss. I hope this song finds you fame, I want school kids on busses singing your name. Other girls went and other girls came, I can’t get over my old flame. I’m still in love with, Emily Kane. I don’t even know where she lives. I’ve not seen her in 10 years, 9 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 6 hours, 13 minutes, 5 seconds. Other girls went and other girls came, I can’t get over my old flame. All my friends think I’m insane, I’m still in love with Emily Kane. There’s a beast in my soul that can’t be tamed, I’m still in love with Emily Kane. I thought I’d never love again, I’m still in love with Emily Kane. The torch I hold is always a flame, I’m still in love with Emily Kane. I hope this song finds you fame, I want school kids on busses singing your name. All my friends think I’m insane, I’m still in love with Emily Kane. Emily Kane, Emily Kane, Emily Kane.

I like that one Mike, who is that?
Sounds like it might be a pop-rock version of an Allan Ahlberg or Roger McGough poem.

It's actually Art Brut. They have some very good lyrics and it's easy to hear them because he (Eddie Argos) talks more than he actually sings.
You may know this one.
Formed a band, we formed a band, look at us, we formed a band x 4 Honeypie, I don’t know when it started, stop buying your albums from the supermarket. They only sell records that have charted, and Art Brut, we’ve only just started. And yes, this is my singing voice, it’s not irony, it’s not Rock & Roll, we’re just talking, to the Kids. Formed a band, we formed a band, look at us, we formed a band x 4 We’re gonna be the band that writes the song that makes Israel and Palestine get along. We’re gonna write a song as universal as happy Birthday, that makes sure everybody knows that everything is going to be OK, we’re going to take that song and we’re going to play it 8 weeks in a row on Top of the Pops. Formed a band, we formed a band, look at us, we formed a band x 4 Die your hair black, never look back, my past is my business.

Doesn't sound familiar, but then I don't really listen to the radio as much these days. It's all so much effort at work, we have to plug the speakers to the computer, blah de blah. I'll keep my ears open, ta.

I wanna know I wanna know
Was the garage your playground Full of holes Did you piss in the alley And get your toes caught in the Spokes of a bike with a bananna seat Did you carry a knife that was rusted shut tight You got drunk after church at 13
We may well be the ones To set this world on its ear We may well be the ones If not then why are we here
I oughta know I wanna know
I wanna know I wanna know
The sweet smell of candles burnt low by young women Alone on their own for the very first time under Posters of rock stars that ya vaugely resemble In front of a cad or resounding perhaps Means that you'll be the next one in line
We may well be the ones To set this world on its ear We may well be the ones If not then why are we here Why the hell then are we here
I wanna know I wanna know
You may well be the next one Someone sell me a hand gun Goodbye ma, I'm done for It's the law, tell me what for
I wanna know I wanna know
I wanna know I wanna know
Smoke cigerette butts from your brothers green helmet he wore in that war once Where everyone lost and they taught him to pour coffee and napalm and Traded his storm for an intense calm that just won't let him be
We may well be the ones To set this world on its ear We may well get it done Why the hell else are we here We may well be the ones To set this world on its ear We may well be the ones if not then why are we here if not then why are we here We may well be the ones

Little Jimmy's gone Way out of the backstreet Out of the window Through the fallin' rain Right on time Right on time That's why Broken Arrow Waved his finger down the road so dark and narrow In the evenin' Just before the Sunday six-bells chime, six-bells chime And all the dogs are barkin' Way on down the diamond-studded highway where you wander And you roam from your retreat and view Way over on the railroad Tomorrow all the tippin' trucks will unload Every scrapbook stuck will glue And I'll stand beside you Beside you child To never never never wonder why at all No no no no no no no no To never never wonder why at all To never never never wonder why it's gotta be It has to be Way across the country where the hillside mountain glide The dynamo of your smile caressed the barefoot virgin child to wander Past your window with a lantern lit You held it in the doorway and you cast against the pointed island breeze Said your time was open, go well on your merry way Past the brazen footsteps of the silence easy You breathe in you breathe out you breathe in you breathe out you breath in you breathe out you breathe in you breathe out And you're high on your high-flyin' cloud Wrapped up in your magic shroud as ecstasy surrounds you This time it's found you You turn around you turn around you turn around you turn around And I'm beside you Beside you Oh darlin' To never never wonder why at all No no no no no To never never never wonder why at all To never never never wonder why it's gotta be It has to be And I'm beside you Beside you Oh child To never never wonder why at all I'm beside you Beside you Beside you Beside you Oh child
