Rival Schools - Holding Sand
Sew a late seed
And so inside
A cast out, unwanted son
A crawl to what you want
Sit down, you fault, you run away from anyone
And where you live, I feel most on
A corner of space that you don’t run
And guard’s off, I pass you by
Makes no impression as you stand
Makes no impression holding sand
A waif across the sea, aloss
Because you can’t think straight
It’s your calling
Wasted mourning
You wish it was your hand sliding down her back
Call, this is the first thing that you can solve
As the weight comes off again
Always the last to remember a name
Makes no impression as you stand
Makes no impression holding sand
You had your captive fan, and then what?
She saw your face and it tied your hands
Made no impression on me
Only left out holding sand
And it runs through
Shows in your face and runs through your hands
Just thought I'd throw that in there... |

Rival Schools - My Echo
Three voices on the phone
Between me, you and my echo
Decide to let me know
That you can’t hear at all
Constant interference of my echo
Can you give me clearance, Clarence?
Some relief, I long to be back home
Given the options that I’ve had
To cover a meaningful, wise conversation
I only want too bad
It’s not a pressure you feel under
A silent wonder
Constant interference of my echo
Can you give me clearance, Clarence?
Some relief, I long to be back home
I’m getting tired of holding your hand
Suddenly sick of proposals and questions
I hope you understand that you’ve been no help at all
End of call
Just thought I'd throw that in there... |

Rival Schools - SO Down On
You can blame this fall on some
invitation to your friend
when she promised that she'd come
you could wait until the end
Now you want it all too soon
just to calm what's on your mind
until she calls it off again
to the wayside
Yesterday is left behind
it's as close as you might get
until she calls you all the time
she calls so you can get
down
on
Not adjusted to begin
as you lay with your concerns
are we better off as friends ?
either way it burns
Now you want it all too soon
just to calm what's on your mind
until she calls it off again
to the wayside
Yesterday is left behind
it's as close as you might get
until she calls you all the time
she calls so you can get
down
on
so good so far
you said I'm lost instead
but that's all in your head
Yesterday is left behind
it's as close as you might get
until she calls you all the time
she calls so you can get
down
on
so good so far
Just thought I'd throw that in there... |

Rival Schools - Travel By Telephone
(i really love this one!)
Must have been a mistake
While you make things hard for me
Wouldn’t hurt you at all if I didn’t have to
Give in it’s our first fight
Now that I see this side
I want to more than I did before
This night has opened my eyes
I know you, hope I do now
Communication’s down
I know you, hope I do now
We come closer
Temptations, they crumble by your side
You say you wouldn’t hurt me at all
Can’t be sure that you mean it
If it’s worth holding on to, we can’t stay in between it
I know you, hope I do now
Communication’s down
I know you, hope I do now
We come closer
A comfort to us all
Insured against a fall from normal life
Afraid to be at it alone
To shoulder I wonder is it safe for now
This could go either way
This could work out between us, or never again
Make it clean, how realistic we mean to
I know you
Just thought I'd throw that in there... |

Culture Club - Karma Chameleon
Desert loving in your eyes all the way.
If I listen to your lies would you say
I'm a man without conviction,
I'm a man who doesn't know
how to sell a contradiction.
You come and go, you come and go.
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
you come and go, you come and go.
Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream,
red gold and green, red gold and green.
Don't hear your wicked words every day
and you used to be so sweet, I heard you say
that my love was an addiction.
When we cling our love is strong.
When you go you're gone forever.
You string along, you string along.
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
you come and go, you come and go.
Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream,
red gold and green, red gold and green.
Every day is like survival,
you're my lover, not my rival.
Every day is like survival,
you're my lover, not my rival.
I'm a man without conviction,
I'm a man who doesn't know
how to sell a contradiction.
You come and go, you come and go.
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
you come and go, you come and go.
Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream,
red gold and green, red gold and green.
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
you come and go, you come and go.
Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream,
red gold and green, red gold and green.
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
you come and go, you come and go.
Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream,
red gold and green, red gold and green.
Just so you know, I'm kidding. I'll think of some lyrics that mean something to me a little later...like 5 minutes later perhaps...or right after this later..who knows.(Damn that Karma Chameleon phone!)

Haha, crouton, thats great, I almost started laughing straight away...and then i started to read it, and some of those lyrics are pretty deep ya know!
Anyway, back to my invasion of the art that is Rival Schools - Undercover on
Crept on you slowly
But faster than you could see
It’s not like I noticed
I wouldn’t be the first one you let in
The same person that you know would forget to be honest
I might be the furthest from your mind
Whatever you told me somehow you sold me on
I want to believe it ‘til I see later on
Apparition counterfeit
Will this racket go on another year
Overconfident, maybe
You’re still here
Misplaced my fear
Whatever you told me, somehow you sold me on
I want to believe it ‘til I see later on
You cross the other way
And hope I didn’t see you
I start calling out your name
Cause I want to meet you again
Don’t know why you say you’re doing fine
That’s not what it looks like
Something doesn’t feel right
You’re undercover’s on
You’re acting kind of warm
But soon you’ve got to leave
There’s something you need
I’m not invited to go
Those people that you know
Well, they don’t care about you
Could live easily without you
Just thought I'd throw that in there... |

Used for glue (by you guessed it....)
Days of the conflicts you’ve been in
Traces of conscience you don’t want to hear
You hear it now
You listen, hear a sound
You missed it
Taken by conscience or taken by guilt
You live in the problems you decided to build
You hear it now
You listen and hear a sound that cant be still
The blame was found, you got it
Rode when she was new
you used for glue
But wasn’t told when she was through
Yeah
Dazed for time you were into
Praise from the crowd that you wanted to fool
You call them now, they’re waiting
To hear a sound that can’t be still
The blame is found, you got it
Rode when she was new but wasn’t told when she was through
Yeah
listen now, the sound that cant be stole ........
The blame is found, you got it
Rode when she was new but wasn’t told when she was through
Yeah

The Cure - Pornography
A hand in my mouth
A life spills into the flowers
We all look so perfect
As we all fall down
In an electric glare
The old man cracks with age
She found his last picture
In the ashes of the fire
An image of the queen
Echoes round the sweating bed
Sour yellow sounds inside my head
In books
And films
And in life
And in heaven
The sound of slaughter
As your body turns
But it's too late
But it's too late
One more day like today and I'll kill you
A desire for flesh
And real blood
I'll watch you drown in the shower
Pushing my life through your open eyes
I must fight this sickness
Find a cure
I must fight this sickness

The Moth by Aimee Mann
The moth don't care when he sees the flame
he might get burned but he's in the game
and once he's in he can't go back,
he'll beat his wings 'til he burns them black
no the moth don't care when he sees the flame
no the moth don't care when he sees the flame
the moth don't care if the flame is real
cuz flame and moth got a sweetheart deal
nothing fuels a good flirtation
like need and anger and desperation
no the moth don't care if the flame is real
no the moth don't care if the flame is real
So come on let's go ready or not
cuz there's a flame I know hotter than hot
and with a fuse that's so thoroughly shot away
the moth don't care if the flame burns low
cuz moth believes in an afterglow
and flames are never douzed completely
all you really need is a love of heat
no, the moth don't care if the flame burns low
no, the moth don't care if the flame burns low
So come on let's go ready or not
cuz there's a flame I know hotter than hot
and with a fuse that's so thoroughly shot away
_____________________________________________________________________
You`re where you want to be, I`m where I want to be
Caught up chasing everything I`ve ever wanted
I replace you easily, replace pathetically,
I flirt with any flighty thing that falls my way.
But how I needed you, when I needed you.
Let`s not forget we are so strong, so bloody strong.

and where my signature comes from -
Come on Home - Franz Ferdinand
Although my lover lives In a place that I can't live
I kind of find I like a life this lonely
It rips and pierces me in places I can't see
I love the rip of nerves the rip that wakes me
I'm where I want to be you're where you want to be
Come on we're chasing everything we've ever wanted
I replace you easily replace pathetically
I flirt with every flighty thing that falls my way
But how I needed you, when I needed you
Let's not forget we are so strong, so bloody strong
So come on home
Blue light falls upon your perfect skin
Falls and you draw back again
Falls and this is how I fell
and I cannot forget
I cannot forget
come on home
come on home
But don't forget to leave

MK Ultra - That Strange Flower the Sun (FOR FREE HERE! http://johnvanderslice.com/mp3sjv/MK.Ultra_Strange.Flower.mp3 )
(Adapted from Wallace Stevens)
That strange flower, the sun,
Is just what you say.
Have it your way.
The world is ugly,
And the people are sad.
That tuft of jungle feathers,
That animal eye,
Is just what you say.
That savage of fire,
That seed,
Have it your way.
The world is ugly,
And the people are sad.

Nathan Larson - We Will Know Thee By Thy Bloody Rings
All you earthly maidens crying out
become holy places by and by
to always sleep
in whoever loved you
we will know thee by thy bloody rings
You unfolding
(oo oo)
handsome sailors drifting
(bye bye)
the poles are shifting
obscured by the sound
steady clipping of thy water-wings
there’ll be harbour lights for drying ashes
there’ll be summer-whites at pitch-black masses
so why do we percieve
shadows in these empty things?
we will know thee by thy bloody rings

She lived on a curve in the road, in an old tar-paper shack
On the south side of the town, on the wrong side of the tracks
Sometimes on the way into town we'd say:
"Mama, can we stop and give her a ride?"
Sometimes we did but her hands flew from her side
Wild eyed, crazy Mary
Down along the road, past the Parson's place
The old blue car we used to race
Little country store with a sign tacked to the side
Said "No L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G allowed"
Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around
One night thunder cracked mercy backed outside her windowsill
Dreamed I was flying high above the trees, over the hills
Looked down into the house of Mary
Bare bulb on, newspaper-covered walls, and Mary rising up above it all
Next morning on the way into town
Saw some skid marks, and followed them around
Over the curve,through the fields, into the house of Mary
That which you fear the most, could meet you halfway
That which you fear the most, could meet you halfway
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around

I am sorry, but I have to say this is a stupid copy-paste thread. We should pick up less lyrics and comment them. I am sorry Mel, but your 100 lyrics of the same band are really pointless, and if you want to draw people's attention on that band (which is, I am sure, very good), you could post one song, with a link and perhaps a short explanation of how great their lyrics are.
Same for HPM and the Shins - I like them very much, but we are able to do a research on the internet by ourselves.
Moreover, I don't see what "lyrics as poetry" means. |

i agree with you posting a dozen lyrics by the same band is silly and one or two would suffice.
posting the lyrics without comment, imho, is more valuable than with comment as it lets the reader draw his own conclusions. your conclusions are not useful to me. |

also:
she didn't wanna be, she didn't wanna know
she couldn't run away cause she was crazy
she gave it all away, she saw her baby break
and in the air it hung that she was dull razors
and i said, i wanna fill you up, i wanna break you, i wanna give you up
from one another, another one should come to one another
no one should come between us
still i was lonely, and she was by my side, my one and only
knows that she could never hide
i couldn't feel her, and it was just a game,
cause i was lonely and she was crazy
rat-tat-tat, ka boom boom, now take that, and just a bit of this
cause i'm a watcher, and i'm a doer of none
come to save you, cause you're all mine
i hurt where i can't feel, i feel where i can't hurt
i know where i can't know, i bleed for me and mine
ka-boom, a rat-tat-tat, and some good ole bliss
cause i'm a sister, and i'm a motherfuck
i am made of shamrocks, i am made of stern stuff
i am never enough, i am the forgotten child
and i said i wanna fill you up, i wanna break you, i wanna give you up
from one another, no one should ever come
in between us, between us and our love
mary had a little lamb, her face was white as snow
and everywhere that mary went i was sure to go
now mary's got a problem, and mary's not a stupid girl
mary's got some deep shit, and mary does not forget
and this is how mary's garden grows, and this is how mary has her ghosts
and into the eyes of the jackyl i say ka-boom
now we begin descent, to where we've never been
there is no going back, this wasn't meant to last
this is a hell on earth, we are meant to serve
and she will never learn
bye bye, baby goodbye

It means what you want it to mean, maaaaan...
Ha, lighten up Ad, I think you're turning into Gordon Gekko.
Although, to be fair, an entire album probably wasn't necessary, naming no names.
I'm trying to type all mine rather than cutting and pasting, btw: it makes me think whether the words work in their own right rather than just putting them because I like the band.
I also wanted to say how much I like those Aimee Mann lyrics Em, those are fantastic, I love good analogies. I might have to go download it.
Anyway, its my thread, so I'm going to post another one without comment.
'Me Ves Y Sufres'
I've got no good in me for anybody,
I've been ruined by the lies I told to everybody,
It's so desperately sad that my life has come to this,
I hope there's something better than this for me.
I used to think I had something to say,
But my dumb ideologies gave me away.
I keep my mouth shut but its always the same,
Over and over and over again.
Today I am wrong again but its not surprising,
Once more heaven has forgotten me.
So everybody, clap your hands together for me,
As I watch my world collapse.
Don't waste your sympathy on me because I made it all up.
My mistakes happen so much its success,
But I drag you all down into my sorry mess.
I said I was sorry but its always the same,
Over and over and over again.
I have been doomed from the first time I tried
To find something to save me from all of my lies.
I'm always fake and its always the same,
Over and over and over and over again.
Kind regards,
Dr. Simon

Laurie Anderson "White Lily"
What Fassbinder film is it?
The one-armed Man walks into a flower shop and says:
What flower expresses
Days go by
And they just keep
going by
endlessly Pulling you
Into the future.
Days go by
Endlessly
Endlessly pulling you
Into the future.
And the florist says:
White Lily.
I have to say though, most of her songs are amazing poems. I feel supremely lucky to live at the same time as such an incredible lady. |

apl, what is a good Laurie album to start with? I've heard so much about her for years and years but never really heard her music.
HERE COMES A REGULAR by The Replacements
As far as lyrics as poetry goes, it don't get better than this:
Well a person can work up a mean mean thirst
after a hard day of nothin' much at all
Summer's passed, it's too late to cut the grass
There ain't much to rake anyway in the fall
And sometimes I just ain't in the mood
to take my place in back with the loudmouths
You're like a picture on the fridge that's never stocked with food
I used to live at home, now I stay at the house
And everybody wants to be special here
They call your name out loud and clear
Here comes a regular
Call out your name
Here comes a regular
Am I the only one here today?
Well a drinkin' buddy that's bound to another town
Once the police made you go away
And even if you're in the arms of someone's baby now
I'll take a great big whiskey to ya anyway
Everybody wants to be someone's here
Someone's gonna show up, never fear
'cause here comes a regular
Call out your name
Here comes a regular
Am I the only one who feels ashamed?
Kneeling alongside old Sad Eyes
He says opportunity knocks once then the door slams shut
All I know is I'm sick of everything that my money can buy
The fool who wastes his life, God rest his guts
First the lights, then the collar goes up, and the wind begins to blow
Turn your back on a pay-you-back, last call
First the glass, then the leaves that pass, then comes the snow
Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall
Inna zany combination of Wayne's Pet Youngin'! |

(The best way to start with Laurie? hmmm. Hard to say. Her music isn't what draws you -it's sometimes the goofiest thing imagineable (very new-wave and clunky in some songs, but her violin playing is very good) -the music is there to accentuate the performance. Best thing is to be in a really adventurous and inquisitive frame of mind, then watch "Home of the Brave", which is an edited version of one of her early works. If you can ever find video of her United States Live show (it was many hours long -I have the box cd set) then *LET ME KNOW PLEASE!* and watch it). Other than that, her song "O Superman (For Massenet)" http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/plain/A874758
was her one radio hit in the 80s, and spooks the shit out of me now - we saw her the night of 9/11/01 in Chicago.)
O Superman. O judge. O Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad.
O Superman. O judge. O Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad.
Hi. I'm not home right now. But if you want to leave a
message, just start talking at the sound of the tone.
Hello? This is your Mother. Are you there? Are you
coming home?
Hello? Is anybody home? Well, you don't know me,
but I know you.
And I've got a message to give to you.
Here come the planes.
So you better get ready. Ready to go. You can come
as you are, but pay as you go. Pay as you go.
And I said: OK. Who is this really? And the voice said:
This is the hand, the hand that takes. This is the
hand, the hand that takes.
This is the hand, the hand that takes.
Here come the planes.
They're American planes. Made in America.
Smoking or non-smoking?
And the voice said: Neither snow nor rain nor gloom
of night shall stay these couriers from the swift
completion of their appointed rounds.
'Cause when love is gone, there's always justice.
And when justive is gone, there's always force.
And when force is gone, there's always Mom. Hi Mom!
So hold me, Mom, in your long arms. So hold me,
Mom, in your long arms.
In your automatic arms. Your electronic arms.
In your arms.
So hold me, Mom, in your long arms.
Your petrochemical arms. Your military arms.
In your electronic arms.
Without hearing her delivery, and the synths and samples, and then again, her multimedia visuals, it is hard to express this song. One case where poetry very much benefits from how it is performed.
Please don't shoot. This was only meant to illustrate - I won't be putting any more of her lyrics here.  |

Well, obviously I am an idiot because I thought that lyrics are always poetry. In fact, do you know what the word "lyrical" means?
Posting comments doesn't necessarily mean posting "conclusions", you can also open a discussion, that is why this forum exists. You can even try to communicate with people by using your own words, not those of someone else. |

Posting comments doesn't necessarily mean posting "conclusions", you can also open a discussion, that is why this forum exists. You can even try to communicate with people by using your own words, not those of someone else.
it was already explained so i'm not going to do it again. if you want to keep pretending you're saying something new, that's fine, but you aren't.
comments are always based on some sort of conclusion, even if they're questions. but if you want to be a stickler let me rephrase; your conclusions, questions and thoughts are not useful to me. :) |

Posting lyrics is some sort of question, though...
Wow, you are very aggressive, Ebb. I think you need an advice from Dr. Happiness. Perhaps his conclusions might be useful to you... |

Monsieur, I posted two lots of The Shins lyrics! Hardly too much now is it?
I think it is you sir that needs to have a word with Doctor Happiness.

Actually, I was especially thinking of Mel, who posted an entire album of her new favorite band.
And I talk to Dr. Happiness all the time. He is so loving and understanding. |

Yes I know you were especially thinking of Mel, but you still mentioned me unnecessarily.
Perhaps you love me so much that you simply love to mention my name.

Everyone is always thinking of me. hehehe. For your information, it was not a whole album, i did not paste 3 or 4 of the songs from that album.
Im sorry, but I was bored, Reading the lyrics, and felt that all of these lyrics are ones which i feel very close too, and are poetry - to me at least. That is what the thread is about. I was nto posting them purely to prove a pooint to someone, i was posting them because they are poetry.
For fuck sake, even when i am on topic people still fucking complain!!
Just thought I'd throw that in there... |

Time is undone
moving on
And she says
Where's all the colour gone?
She's talking to a man
caving in
Staring at the ground
opening
and he says
I guess you can't have everything
It's up to you
yeah
it's down to you
but then
you already knew
And they're standing in shadows
like ghosts of the daytime
And dealing in plausible lies
Each one loves equally
And they're carving up reason
with sharped tongued incisions
And bleeding from seeing eye to eye
Each one loves equally...
She took him for a ride
he took her for a fool
(it's meaningless)
And as for you
well
as for you
you're already through
Within endless revisions
those no win decisions
Are spiralling out of control
Each one loves equally
Without clutching at straws
for the sake of the past
and the future
Then it's all gone
Each one loves equally
We'll sit in our homes
we'll sit in our homes
while the long day closes
and senses leaving
too close for words
(For now, for now)...
It's about 3 in the morning when it starts to rain.
She sits slumped on the bridge
her legs arranged awkwardly in front of her
He lights another Silk Cut and gazes out on the river
searching for something
But there's nothing there
just the sound of the rain
We've all been here before
We've all been here before
We've all been here before
(if anyone can name this band I'll send them a prize, I really really will)
