The good lyrics thread

Discussion in 'Music genres, Bands and Artists' started by IGotTheCottons, Nov 12, 2007.

  1. This is probably my favorite song at the moment. The lyrics are particularly good... If you have any lyrics you would like to add... Feel free to do so :D

    Shai Hulud - This Song: For The True And Passionate Lovers Of Music

    this song:
    i have this song: to sing
    certian words must be screamed
    rather than be sung or spoken:

    i am alive and vigorous...

    ...as they toil without love.
    fight without purpose,
    and live without passion...

    i am alive and vigorous.

    in this song: is where i belong.

    within these moments
    there are no outsiders.
    within the body of the song:
    time stands still.
    one is all,
    and all is beautiful -
    the beautiful moment of song and passion.

    we will all sing.
    we will all dance.

    if a human's nature is to war,
    this song:
    is a battleground,
    and this voice,
    a weapon
    one thousand voices -
    or trumpet call
    to arms.

    passion's promise;
    true love's reward -
    a pure expression
    in truth and sincerity.

    passion's promise:
    true love's reward, is this song:

    what will become of this song:...

    pray not a fallen banner,
    or screamed words to the deaf,
    for life is weary without song, or sound of harps.

    this is a song for the impassioned.
    this is strength for the heards on sleeves -
    a shining sentiment where voices soar
    and melody wells tears in the eyes.

    we will all sing the same song,
    this song,
    together

  8. I'm gonna sing those songs
    That offend the censors
    Gonna pop my pills
    From a Pez dispenser
    When they ask why I drink all day
    I'll say because I can

    Get washed-up singers writing all my songs
    Lip synch 'em every night so I don't get 'em wrong
    Then listen to the fans tell me how damn good I am
     
  9. Band: Slightly Stoopid
    Song: Above the Clouds

    "We flyin' high above the clouds again
    Lookin' down from the clouds
    At them holes that I see
    Never knowin' to put down your weight
    Only thing they know that time be leaving, and it's seven O
    Maybe if it was an 'igher day
    Any man, any girl, everybody in the world, time freeze
    They'll be sippin' on the wine again
    Poppin' champagne bottle
    Gettin' blunted till my eyes they don't see
    Maybe if we were that high again
    Taking a trip 'round the world
    Sittin' in, and then mine goes up a tree
    If you never ask me why again
    Is them Endo smoke better to be smoked up than juggle fifty

    It's Philly love
    Just drinkin' rum
    And getting high
    Listen to dub
    Grip them pint
    Get them buds
    Spark the light
    And get the girl

    It's in your blood
    Just drinkin' rum
    And getting high
    Listen to dub
    Grip the pint
    Get them buds
    Spark that light
    Fire it up

    We flyin' high above the clouds again
    Lookin' down from the clouds
    At them holes that I see
    You be comin' our direction
    DEA, don't try, they intercept up, blazin' all of our weed
    Instead of droppin bombs on Normandy
    Fire one long artillery, smokin' up the enemy
    Now we steppin' up an Irie beat
    Take your shit, don't hurt, this is herb, yo we be puffin' them green
    Now we live Manu Chao way
    King of the Congo, livin' in the jungle
    Get hyptnotized like an Egyptian, whoa whoa whoa whoa

    It's Philly love
    Just drinkin' rum
    And getting high
    Listen to dub
    Grip the pint
    Get them buds
    Spark the light
    Fire it up

    It's in the blood
    Just drinkin' rum
    And getting high
    Listen to dub
    Grip the pint
    Get them buds
    Spark the light
    Fire it up"
     
  10. Whatever this becomes
    Whatever words I say
    We are the fortunate ones...
    And when the days are done
    I won't forget
    All I see in you and me
    Is a light in the dark of humanity
    And when the days are done
    I won't forget
    Timid steps - come walk with me
    And with your useless words
    Come talk to me
    There are broken hearts
    Now on your stereo
    But the broken beats are just too slow
    You'll cry - it doesn't change a thing
    Kill the lights - and let the rain fall
    Recall - the memories
    Of yesterdays and better ways
    And know - the innocence is gone...
    Move on - from this day on
    We'll never be the same...
    The saddest songs
    Make sense to me...
    So with your sunken eyes
    Come talk to me
    Two hour drives
    Are two hours alone
    But two hour drives
    Are better than home
    You'll die - it doesn't change a thing
    You will - kill the lights
    And let the rain fall - recall
    The memories of yesterdays
    And better ways
    And know - the innocence is gone...
    Move on - from this day on
    We'll never be the same...
    Faster words - and faster kids
    Faster songs - and faster ends
    The one thing that's stayed the same...
    I've lived through days
    I've lived through nights
    I've had my loves
    I've had my fights
    You gotta know - you have my heart
     
  11. "Think that I'm a loser,
    'cause my pants are really too low,
    Think that I'm a slob,
    'cause i got holes in my shoes
    Think my cock is like,
    Just like my dirty shirt
    Well you can fuck off,
    'cause i'm working sixty a week

    You think that life is really tough
    When your daddy won't buy you a brand new car
    Take a girl out, she won't fuck you,
    You just bought her a gram of coke
    Spent all your money on shitty coke..."

    - descendants

    "I was left out
    There was no light
    There was no sound
    Here in the dark
    Fishin' Around For Meaning
    But I had to ask
    Someone I knew
    Not so far away from where I was

    She said...

    Hey! Do you know
    Where you're comin' from?
    Hey! Do you know...
    Now where you're going to?
    She said...
    Hey! Have you been...
    Somewhere you've never ever been before?

    I said well...

    Nothing is as clear!
    Nothing is as clear without
    Holding Hand to gently guide you.
    Once that disapeared
    But it's so close now that I'm here beside you.
    I was left down
    There was no light
    There was no sound
    Here in the dark
    Fishing Around For Meaning...
    I had to ask someone I knew
    Not so far away from where I was

    ...Now nothing is as clear

    Imagine in your mind, oasis.
    Far awide beyond our living.
    Sure enough I'm tired out trying to
    Hang on when this world is spinning

    I was left out
    There was no light
    There was no sound
    Here in the dark
    Fishin' Around For Meaning
    But, I had to ask
    Someone I knew
    Not so far away from where I was

    She said...

    Oh! Do you know
    Where you're comin' from?
    Hey! Do you know...
    Where you're going to?
    Hey! Have you been...
    Somewhere you've never been before?
    Oh, now nothing can ever be as clear."

  12. Harry Chapin - Cats in the Cradle

    A child arrived just the other day,
    He came to the world in the usual way.
    But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay.
    He learned to walk while I was away.
    And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew,
    He'd say, "I'm gonna be like you, dad.
    You know I'm gonna be like you."


    And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
    Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
    "When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when,
    But we'll get together then.
    You know we'll have a good time then."


    My son turned ten just the other day.
    He said, "Thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play.
    Can you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today,
    I got a lot to do." He said, "That's ok."
    And he walked away, but his smile never dimmed,
    Said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah.
    You know I'm gonna be like him."


    And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
    Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
    "When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when,
    But we'll get together then.
    You know we'll have a good time then."


    Well, he came from college just the other day,
    So much like a man I just had to say,
    "Son, I'm proud of you. Can you sit for a while?"
    He shook his head, and he said with a smile,
    "What I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys.
    See you later. Can I have them please?"


    And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
    Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
    "When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when,
    But we'll get together then, dad.
    You know we'll have a good time then."


    I've long since retired and my son's moved away.
    I called him up just the other day.
    I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind."
    He said, "I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time.
    You see, my new job's a hassle, and the kid's got the flu,
    But it's sure nice talking to you, dad.
    It's been sure nice talking to you."


    And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me,
    He'd grown up just like me.
    My boy was just like me.


    And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
    Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
    "When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when,
    But we'll get together then, dad.
    You know we'll have a good time then."
     
  13. push my fingers past her ear, watch them disappear into her brown hair. I wish
    the rest of me could go with them. Her bedroom is quiet but my heart screams
    a horrifying sound. Like a hundred crippled horses lying crumpled on the
    ground, begging for a rifle to come and put them down.

  14. Our first stop is in Bogota
    To check Colombian fields
    The natives smile and pass along
    A sample of their yield
    Sweet Jamaican pipe dreams
    Golden Acapulco nights
    Then Morocco, and the East
    Fly by morning light

    [Chorus:]
    We're on the train to Bangkok
    Aboard the Thailand Express
    We'll hit the stops along the way
    We only stop for the best

    Wreathed in smoke in Lebanon
    We burn the midnight oil
    The fragrance of Afghanistan
    Rewards a long day's toil
    Pulling into Katmandu
    Smoke rings fill the air
    Perfumed by a Nepal night
    The Express gets you there
     
  15. modest mouse - Tiny Cities Made Of Ashes

    We're goin' down the road towards tiny cities made of ashes
    Gonna hit you on the face gonna punch you in your
    glasses. Oh no!
    I just got a message that said "Yeah hell is freezin' over"
    I Got a phone call from the Lord sayin' "Hey boy get a
    sweater. Right now"
    So we're drinkin' drinkin' drinkin' drinkin' coca-coca-cola
    I can feel it rollin' right on down
    Oh right on down my throat
    And as we're headed down the road towards tiny cities
    made of ashes
    I'm gonna get dressed up in plastic gonna shake hands
    with the masses. Oh no!
    Does anybody know a way that a body could get away
    Does anybody know a way
    Were goin' down the road towards tiny cities made of ashes
    I'm goin' to hit you on the face I'm goin' to punch you in your
    glasses. Oh no!
    I'm wearin' myself a t-shirt that says "The world is my ashtray"
    Our hearts pump dust and our hairs all grey
    And I just got a message sayin' that hell has frozen over
    Got a phone call from the Lord sayin' "Hey boy get a
    sweater. Right now!"
    Does anybody know a way that a body could get away
    Does anybody know a way
    Were drinkin' drinkin' drinkin' drinkin' coca-coca-cola
    I can feel it rollin' right on down oh right on down my throat
    And as we're headed down the road towards tiny cities
    made of ashes
    I'm gonna lay down in the spa where they coat you
    in molasses. Oh no!
    Does anybody know a way that a body could get away
    Does anybody know a way
     
  16. Jose Gonzalez - Heartbeats

    one night to be confused
    one night to speed up truth
    we had a promise made
    four hands and then away

    both under influense
    we had devine scent
    to know what to say
    mind is a razorblade

    to call for hands of above
    to lean on
    wouldn't be good enough
    for me, no

    one night of magic rush
    the start a simple touch
    one night to push and scream
    and then releaf

    ten days of perfect tunes
    the colors red and blue
    we had a promise made
    we were in love

    to call for hands of above
    to lean on
    wouldn't be good enough
    for me, no

    to call for hands of above
    to lean on
    wouldn't be good enough

    and you, you knew the hands of the devil
    and you, kept us awake with wolf teeths
    sharing different heartbeats
    in one night

    to call for hands of above
    to lean on
    wouldn't be good enough
    for me, no

    to call for hands of above
    to lean on
    wouldn't be good enough
    for me, no
     
  17. modest mouse - we missed the boat

    While we're on the subject
    Could we change the subject now?
    I was knocking on your ears
    Don't worry, you were always out
    Looking towards the future
    We were begging for the past
    Well we knew we had the good things
    But those never seemed to last
    Oh please just last

    Everyone's unhappy
    Everyone's ashamed
    Well we all just got caught looking
    At somebody else's page
    Well nothing ever went
    Quite exactly as we planned
    Our ideas held no water
    But we used them like a damn

    Oh, and we carried it all so well
    As if we got a new position
    Oh, and I laugh all the way to hell
    Saying yes, this is a fine promotion
    Oh, and I laugh all the way to hell

    Of course everyone goes crazy
    Over such and such and such
    We made ourselves a ??
    We just used it as a crutch
    We were suddenly uncertain
    At least I'm pretty sure I am
    Well we didn't need the water
    But we just built that go god damn

    Oh, and I know this all myself
    I stood in front for all the people
    Oh, and I know this all myself
    We listen while life hangs on
    And the sound of life's sweet bliss

    Was it ever worth it?
    Was there all that much to gain?
    Well we knew we missed the boat
    And we'd already missed the plane
    We didn't read the invite
    We just dance at our wake
    All our favorites were playing
    So we could shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

    Tiny curtains open and we heard the tiny clap of little hands
    A tiny man would tell a little joke and get a tiny laugh from all the folks
    Sitting drifting around in bubbles and thinking it was us that carried them
    When we finally got it figured out that we had truly missed the boat

    Oh, and we carried it all so well
    As if we got a new position
    Oh, and we owned all the tools ourselves
    But not the skills to make a shelf with
    Oh, what useless tools ourselves

    :hello::hello::hello::hello::hello::hello::hello:
     
  18. i fucking hate keller williams but its a fun song.

    Well it’s a plant , but it can’t grow freely
    At least not in this space and time
    Where can we begin, shouldn’t it be a sin
    Fighting against the soldiers of sense
    That brings the peace to my mind

    The peace to my mind
    Oh why is it a crime?

    It’s against the law
    Well I hope this freeze will thaw
    Before I die, from this space and time

    And the politics, the folks that the nation picks
    Are they high, or afraid to try

    They’re afraid to try
    Oh why is it a crime?

    But whatever you do, you make sure it’s the right thing for you
    But if you pass, at least allow us to roll around in the grass
    Because it’s time it’s 420, 24/7...365

    Well that nation’s debt
    Kind of makes the man upset
    But we know and they know
    The answer is in this space and time
    Create work, just plow the fucking dirt
    Medicine clothes, and the paper make my head feel so fine

    My head feels so fine
    Oh why is it a crime?

    But whatever you do, you make sure it’s the right thing for you
    But if you pass, at least allow us to roll around in the grass
    Because it’s time it’s 420, 24/7...365

    Well is it meant to be
    Is it that far away from reality
    Open up the worlds mind
    And free the kind

    It could lube the cars, mellow out the bars
    Make room in jail for the killers in this time

    Because it’s just a plant
    But it can’t grow freely
     
  19. I smoke weed
    Get weeded
    Cuz I need it to calm my nerves
    Before a pig get bleeded.
     
  20. Piss in a Cup - Old Gray Hair

    You can't come in
    If they don't agree
    When I'm alone
    The smoke I breathe

    They give me a test
    To show who I am
    And if I pass
    They give a damn

    So can I be someone like you
    Who's not looked down on
    and lives by the rules
    So can I be someone like you...

    Where's all my luck, when it's piss in a cup
    Where's all my luck when it's piss in a cup
