Best Lyrics... (3 Viewers)

[Dan]

Lots, but ones that spring to mind:

"Well i want to fly above the storm,
but you can't grow feathers in the rain"

" I want to sleep,
Underneath the weeping willow,
Its tears all around me,
I'd sleep there so soundly,
'til I'm allowed finally,
To wake and be happy again"

 

[billygannon]

"Spuds, spuds, spuds... ah! these spuds are really great... good oul' Irish spuds are on everybody's plate..."

"....I don't want your starters or afters, your wee square of butter nor bun... just give me a big plate of bacon and cabbage and I'll belch like a bull when I'm done"....

Both Brendan Shine.... lyrical genius (he also had a wonderful song about carrots)

"Don't eat pigs coz they're made of ham... eat that nasty butcher man...." from Oink magazine's free vinyl brought out with it's first issue in 1986....

 

[herv]

ani di franco....

"tonight i stooped to your level,
with your crazy little whore...
you try to find a reason...
and then your socks....and the door..."

its not verbatum, but you get the picture.

 

[Beanstalk]

Oink!...class...I have every issue of that comic rotting in my attic.


You can't beat Stephen Malkmus for lyrics...this is his tribute to Yul Brenner, from "Jo Jo's Jacket"...

I'm not what you think I am
I'm the king of Siam
I've got a bald head
My name is Yul Brynner
And I am a famous movie star
Perhaps you saw me in Westworld
I acted like a robotic cowboy
It was my best role
I can not deny I
Felt right home deep inside
That electronic carcass

 

[manky mongrel]

"Uh!...said the lady to the man"

"Click..clack"

 

[egg_]

The Lone Ranger and Tonto were riding on down the line
Fixing everybody's problems, everybody's 'cept mine
Someone must have told em I was doin fine

That's Bob Dylan, boys and girls

Or another example:
"Out on tour with Smashing Pumpkins
blah blah blah
Aw, they don't have no function...
I don't understand what they mean,
I couldn't really give a fuck..."

Frank Zappa's 'Wind up workin' in a Gas Station'

It's what the college 'thing' and the work 'thing' are all about.

This here song might offend you some.
If it does, it's because you're dumb.
That's the way it is where I come from.
If you been there too, let me see your thumb.

Let me see your thumb. (16x)

Show me your thumb if your really dumb.
Show me your thumb if your really dumb.
Show me your thumb if your really dumb.
Show me your thumb if your dumb.

Hey now, better make a decision.
Be a moron, and keep your position.
You oughta know now, all your education,
won't help you know-how.

You're gonna wind up workin' in a gas station.
Wind up workin' in a gas station.
Wind up workin' in a gas station.
Wind up workin' in a gas station.

Pumpin' the gas every night.
Pumpin' the gas every night.
Wind up workin' in a gas station.
Wind up workin' in a gas station.

Pumpin' the gas every night.
Pumpin' the gas every night.
Wind up workin' in a gas station.
Wind up workin' in a gas station.

Many da camper wants to by some white.
Wind up workin' in a gas station
Many da camper wants to by some white.
Wind up workin' in a gas station
Many da camper wants to by some white.
Wind up workin' in a gas station
Many da camper wants to by some white.
Wind up workin' in a gas station

Wind up workin' in a gas station.
Wind up workin' in a gas station.
Wind up workin' in a gas station.
Wind up workin' in a gas station.

sorry, i would love to beat malkmus for his lyrics. especially the recent stuff the likes of which you quoted. knowing, smug, annoying fucking twat. he gradually made pavement unlistenable for me over the years.

never mind me.

Have you listened to Preston School of Industry?
You soon begin to realise that Spiral Stairs was the better talent in the band, and that Malkmus simply had the bigger ego... Malkmus would NEVER have been able to do Slanted on his own...
The Preston Schools album is the REAL sequal to Slanted...

After all this poetry.......

DON'T GIVE A FUCK!

(SUICIDAL TENDENCIES / SUICIDAL FOR LIFE)

i don't give a shit! i don't give a fuck! i don't give a shit! we don't give a fuck! your opinion don't mean shit to me and your shit's about to fall your rationale isn't rational like bungee jumping off a 6 foot wall i don't give a shit! your right and wrong to me is all wrong and you'll pay if you do me wrong politically correct means tag along stupid and i don't ever tag along we don't give a fuck! i don't give a shit! we don't give a fuck! what i am is who i am and i'm proud of who i am c'est la vie cause change to me comes naturally i don't give a shit! i ain't afraid of the present, ain't ashamed of my past and my future's locked in real tight the guns aren't loaded and my fists aren't clenched but i've taken on a brand new fight i don't give a fuck! i don't give a shit! and i don't give a fuck! i don't give a shit! and we don't give a fuck! i don't give a shit! we don't give a fuck! i don't give a shit! we don't give a fuck! hip ain't hip and cool ain't cool but a fool is definitely a fool new ain't new it's just new to you but the truth is sad that's true i don't give a shit! i don't give a fuck! we don't give a fuck, no!
