Song: Life on Mars?
Artist: David Bowie
Lyrics:
It's a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling, "No!"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
Because Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
Because I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
Yes, the whole damn song because the lyrics are fantastic
Song: Vicarious
Artist: Tool
Lyrics:
Eye on the the TV
'Cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor it happens to be, like...
"Killed by the husband"
"Drowned by the ocean"
"Shot by his own son"
"She used a poison in his tea, and kissed him goodbye"
That's my kind of story
It's no fun 'til someone dies
Don't look at me like I am a monster
Frown out your one face, but with the other
Stare like a junkie into the TV
Stare like a zombie
While the mother holds her child, watches him die
Hands to the sky crying, "Why, oh why?"
Cause I need to watch things die...from a distance
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
You all need it too, don't lie
Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit it?
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing
Neither the brave nor bold
Will write as the story's told
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing
I need to watch things die...from a good safe distance
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same, so...
Why can't we just admit it?
Blood like rain come down
Drum on grave and ground
Part vampire
Part warrior
Carnivore and Voyeur
Stare at the transmitter
Sing to the death rattle
La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie (x4)
***Incredulous at best your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men
Pull your head on out your hippie haze and give a listen
Shouldn't have to say it all again
The universe is hostile, so impersonal
Devour to survive... so it is, so it's always been
We all feed on tragedy
It's like blood to a vampire
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I
Best lyrics I've seen. They're so true as well.
[B]Song:[/B] The Moor (though really the whole album, Still Life, is lyrically brilliant)
[B]Artist:[/B] Opeth
[B]Lyrics:[/B]
The sigh of summer upon my return
Fifteen alike since I was here
Bathed in deep fog, blurring my trail
Snuffing the first morning rays
Weary from what might have been ages
Still calm with my mind at peace
Would I prosper or fall, drain the past
The lapse of the moment took it's turn
I was foul and tainted, devoid of faith
Wearing my death-mask at birth
The hands of God, decrepit and thin
Cold caress and then nothing
I was taken away from my plight
A treason bestowed to the crowd
Branded a jonah with fevered blood
Ungodly freak, defiler
Pale touch, writhing in the embers
Damp mud burning in my eyes
All the faces turned away
And all would sneer at my demise
Outcast with dogmas forged below
Seared and beaten, banished from where I was born
No mercy would help me on my way
In the pouring rain nothing is the same
Vows in ashes
I pledge myself to no-one
Seethed and spiteful
All shudder at the call of my name
If you'll bear with me
You'll fear of me
There is no forgiveness in these eyes
For any of you but one
Dispel the mist for now
Melinda is the reason why I've come
She is waterdrops over the pyre
A thistle in my hands
Stained and torn, aged and brown
Virtous shell with kindred innocense
I awoke from the miasma
Passing swiftly through the moor
This is here, waters stir
And in the distance all that was lost
If you'll bear with me
You'll fear of me
You'd never leave me to
A fate with you
I second life on mars, its a brilliant song.
[b]Right in Two - Tool
Lyrics:[/b]
Angels on the sideline,
Puzzled and amused.
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they're all confused.
Don't these talking monkeys know that
Eden has enough to go around?
Plenty in this holy garden, silly old monkeys,
Where there's one you're bound to divide it
Right in two
Angels on the sideline,
Baffled and confused.
Father blessed them all with reason.
And this is what they choose.
(and this is what they choose)
Monkey, killing monkey, killing monkey
Over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs,
They forge a blade,
And when there's one they're bound to divide it,
Right in two.
Right in two.
Monkey, killing monkey, killing monkey
Over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs,
They make a club
And beat their brother... down.
How they survived so misguided is a mystery.
Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability
to lift an eye to heaven conscious of his fleeting time here
Gotta divide it all right in two
They fight, till they die
Over earth, over sky
They fight, over life,
Over brawn, over air and light,
Over love, over sun. Over blood
They fight, or they die, all for what? For our rising!
Angels on the sideline again
Been too long with patience and reason
Angels on the sideline again
Wondering when this tug of war will end
Gotta divide it all right in two
Right in two
Right in two...
Song: Hound Dog
Arist: Elvis Presley
You aint nothin but a hound dog
Cryin all the time.
You aint nothin but a hound dog
Cryin all the time.
Well, you aint never caught a rabbit
And you aint no friend of mine.
When they said you was high classed,
Well, that was just a lie.
When they said you was high classed,
Well, that was just a lie.
You aint never caught a rabbit
And you aint no friend of mine.

Lyrics to Mini-Theme: Moocher From The Future :
Minnie the moocher from the future
She was raised by neither nature nor nurture
She had a metal front and a plastic back
But in the middle was a lot of soul and that’s a fact
She started messing round with the king of Saturn
He looked like a purple psychedelic pattern
His heart went zing when she did her thing
And before long she was walking off with Saturn’s ring
She travelled from the future to the distant past
Killed a fly which made her first guy become her last
Turned yesterday to notaday with some cute goon
And said the past is just some future that arrived too soon
And New York city how I love it so
I’m always bumping into buddies whose names I don’t know
I don’t get off to sleep until a quarter to four
And then I wake up in the morning and I do it some more
And when you look me in the face I just disintegrate
Now I’m on another date that I kind of hate
And I just keep falling further ended
Seems by now I should have landed
But Minnie the moocher from the future
Could turn space into whatever kind of face would suit ya
The rainbow's bend was what her contact lens was
So she knew what the colour glowing in each of her friends was
She started messing with the gamma beam
He said baby stick with me, I’ll turn your money green
Gave her his number, she dialled it with a satellite pilot
Took his infrared head and turned it ultra violet
She rode a black hole to a magnetic pole
Rode a dinosaur so long that it turned into coal
Made the coal a diamond said this ain't my best friend
Turned the jewel back into a dinosaur again
And my window view is a brick wall or two
With some barbed wire snagged on a plastic bag
And every plane I hear I think the end is near
They get louder and louder and then they disappear
And the shampoo stings and the landline rings
The Jesus freak on the corner with the guitar sings
And the vacant lot daydreams of what it's not
And the night seems to remember what the day forgot
But Minnie the moocher from the future
Is gonna meet me halfway ‘tween when I find her and lose her
And in that dock between the hands of the clock
She’s gonna park her flying spark here on my own block
She’ll honk her horn for me and take my arm
She’ll invite me on a ride to where the tide is born
Where the director and cast of the future and past
Follow the union rules and take a break at last
And when we’re all refreshed after a little rest
She’ll say goodbye to her guests and go back on her quest
I’ll say so long Minnie, I’m glad you’re my friend
I’m gonna keep dreaming about you till we meet again
To all my friends by Atmosphere has some really great lyrics. They speak to me a lot personally

Lyrics:
[quote]What you gonna be when you grow up?
I'm all grown up and still don't know what
I mop throw up, I rock a tow truck
Long as it means that I can get old and post up
I used to be a typical winner
Living off the gratuity from delivering your dinner
Cause as a kid I didn't consider
That I would get the opportunity to be a full-time spitter
I love this occupation
I got bosses across the nation
Validation is an understatement
And I don't really know how to take a vacation
My kind don't have any free time
I'm so distracted, but everything's fine
I speak shine and I read signs
Appreciate your opinion, but this dream's mine
It's all love, we're cool
But you don't tell a cowboy what to do
I was the ugly kid that didn't listen
Little big man, full of ambition
Based on imagination just like you
Daydreaming, thinking about the things I might do
I used to paint, draw, illustrate
Mom would facilitate, and it would feel okay
Seems like yesterday still plays a part
When I grow up, I wanted a job making art
Picture that, how many years old
Young enough to mix up love with career goals
But I was just this tall when they told me
That the world was mine, but the papers weren't signed
There's no deed, so proceed to go see
Up the whole piece like it owes me groceries
Don't breathe until you formally know me
Won't leave, better call authorities
It's all love we're cool
But you don't tell an astronaut what to do
The turn tables stole my heart
Burnt the paintbrush, broke it apart
I miss it, I might revisit it
But I wasn't that good, I admit it
Maybe you can't tell but as I kid I wanted to be Melle Mel
And later as a teenager I wanted to be LL
Then I discovered weed and I wanted to be Del
And thank god eventually I found myself
It's funny when I bump into fools
I used to go to school with and they ask what I'm doing
Half of the time I wanna crack a lie
But fuck it, I'm still a wannabe rapper guy
Yeah I guess that it seems that way
I get to see the world, and it's decent pay
As long as somebody wanna see us play
I wake up every morning and I seize the day
It's all love we're cool
But you don't tell the president what to do[/quote]
Pink Floyd - Childhood's End
[quote=]You shout in your sleep, perhaps the price is just too steep.
Is your conscience at rest if once put to the test?
You awake with a start, to just the beating of your heart.
Just one man beneath the sky, just two ears, just two eyes.
You set sail across the sea, of longpast thoughts and memories.
Childhood's End, your fantasies merge with harsh realities.
And then as the sail is hoist, you find your eyes are growing moist.
Though the fear is never voiced, you say you have to make your final choice.
Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why.
Some are born, and some men die, beneath one infinite sky.
There'll be war, there'll be peace, but everything one day will cease.
All the iron turns to rust, and all the proud men turn to dust.
So all things time will mend, and so this song will end.[/quote]

"The Dead Flag Blues" - Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Because it is nice.
[quote]The car is on fire, and there's no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
And a dark wind blows
The government is corrupt
And we're on so many drugs
With the radio on and the curtains drawn
We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death
The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles
It went like this:
The buildings tumbled in on themselves
Mothers clutching babies
Picked through the rubble
And pulled out their hair
The skyline was beautiful on fire
All twisted metal stretching upwards
Everything washed in a thin orange haze
I said, "Kiss me, you're beautiful -
These are truly the last days"
You grabbed my hand
And we fell into it
Like a daydream
Or a fever
We woke up one morning and fell a little further down
For sure it's the valley of death
I open up my wallet
And it's full of blood[/quote]
Also I'm sorry but I must post two okay
"Poke" - Frightened Rabbit
[quote]Poke at my iris, why can't I cry about this?
Maybe there is something that you know that I don't?
We adopt a brand new language, communicate through pursed lips,
You try not to put on any sexy clothes or graces.
I might never catch a mouse and present it in my mouth
And make you feel you're with someone who deserves to be with you.
But there's one thing we've got going and it's the only thing worth knowing.
It's got lots to do with magnets and the pull of the moon.
Why won't our love keel over as it chokes on a bone?
We can mourn its passing and then bury it in snow.
Or should we kick its cunt in and watch as it dies from bleeding.
If you don't want to be with me just say and I will go.
--
Well we can change our partners this is a progressive dance,
But remember it was me who dragged you up to the sweaty floor.
Well this has been a reel
I've got shin-splints and a stitch from weed
But like a drunken night it's the best bits that are coloured in
Should look through some old photos I adored you in every one of those.
If someone took a picture of us now they'd need to be told that we had ever clung and tied a navy knot with arms at night
I'd say she was his sister but she doesn't have his nose.
And now we're unrelated and rid of all the shit we hated,
But I hate when I feel like this and I never hated you. [/quote]
It's either Heartattack in a Layby for me, for their heartbreaking simplicity and honesty, or Jethro Tull's Thick as a Brick Part 1, for being very down to earth yet incredibly odd at the same time

Torsofuck - Raped by elephants
[Quote][b][i]I was visiting in africa two months ago
My goal was to see all those wild animals
Most excited I was when I came close to elephants
They were so big and somehow so scary
Something happened when I snapped a picture
Three elephants surrounded me
One of them ripped off all my clothes
Second elephant came on me and started to spread my buttocks
With its huge trunk
I screamed in agony when I felt it started to shove up my ass
Third elephant forced me to take its giant cock in my mouth
I sucked like a whore while I was assfucked by elephant trunk
After all it wasnt too bad at all
It took only about ten minutes and cock in my mouth started to cum
Extremely huge load of elephant sperm filled my throat and
Spurted allover my face
I was completely fucked up, but elephants had one more thing to do
All three of them huffed and puffed shits on me
Then they left me alone with my ripped asshole
I'll never go to Africa again[/b][/i]

Go With The Flow

Except it wasn't Elvis lyrics.
I lol'd at the Torsofuck lyrics. The Pink Floyd song doesn't surprise me (maybe not that particular song, but I was expecting Pink Floyd). I myself considered posting Comfortably Numb, but I don't really want to jump on the bandwagon and post Pink Floyd. Because let's face it, pretty much any Pink Floyd song deserves to be up here.
So I'll post this instead.
Song: "A Cosmic Question"
Artist: Allegaeon
Lyrics:
[quote]Conjectures thrive
Why are we alive?
Presenting an open mind
Intergalatic travel?
Dimensions?
A product of genetics?
What defines reality?
What defines a soul?
Where is the line of fathom,
And how much truth do we know?
What lays beyond (beyond),
What we see (we see)?
These cosmic questions,
For all humanity.
What lays beyond (beyond),
What we know (and see)?
These endless questions are for all entities
Too many signs in this life to ignore
What were the ancients telling us?
From Giza to galaxies
Exceeding comprehension
What's the truth on foreign life?
What defines reality?
What defines a soul?
Where is the line of fathom,
And how much truth do we know?
What lays beyond (beyond),
What we see (we see)?
These cosmic questions,
For all humanity.
What lays beyond (beyond),
What we know (and see)?
These endless questions are for all entities.
*solo*
Are the answers here,
On this sphere we occupy?
On this land we're bleeding dry?
Is the truth disguised?
Should we look to the sky?
Would we find ties to global demise?
*solo*
So many have vanished
At what cause or time?
Did civilization face annihilation?
Infinite, no walls
Just the blink of an eye
When is the beginning and end
Of existence and time?
What defines reality?
What defines a soul?
Where is the line of fathom,
And how much truth do we know?
What lays beyond (beyond),
What we see (we see)?
These cosmic questions,
For all humanity.
What lays beyond (beyond),
What we know (and see)?
These endless questions are for all entities.

MCR - The Sharpest Lives:
Well it rains and it pours when you're out on your own
If I crash on the couch, can I sleep in my clothes
‘Cause I spent the night dancing, I'm drunk I suppose
If it looks like I'm laughing
I'm really just asking to leave this alone
You're in time for the show
You're the one that I need
I'm the one that you loathe
You can watch me corrode
Like a beast in repose
'Cause I love all the poison
Away with the boys in the band
I've really been on a bender and it shows
So why don't you blow me
A kiss before she goes
Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
Your kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me
There's a place in the dark where the animals go
You can take off your skin in the cannibal glow
Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands
Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands, Romeo
I've really been on a bender and it shows
So why don't you blow me
A kiss before she goes
Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
Your kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me
Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
Your kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me
those lyrics are shitty, shallow and generic.

Yes but; originally it was recorded by Big Mama Thorton, but apparently she's never claimed that she 'wrote' the lyrics, and it happens alot that blues singers use old phrases or modified songs that people sang before they was recorded or such; For example, ever heard Johnny Cash's song "I Got Stripes", well in the song there is a phrase that goes
[QUOTE]On A Monday I Was Ar-rested

Wich can also be found in "Black Betty" recorded by Leadbelly wich actually was an american worksong. I'm not trying to say Elvis doesn't deserve credit for what he did cause Elvis was fantastic. My point is, you can never be sure about who wrote the lyrics when it comes to blues and to be fair it doesn't really matter cause blues was never about the lyrics themselves, it was about the feeling when you sang or played the notes wich Elvis does really good.
