Favorite lyrics?

I have so many favorites. But this one really stands out in my mind

Man That You Fear by Marilyn Manson

the ants are in the sugar
the muscles atrophied
we're on the other side, the screen is us and we're t.v.
spread me open,
sticking to my pointy ribs
are all your infants in abortion cribs
I was born into this
everything turns to shit
the boy that you loved is the man that you fear
pray until your number,
asleep from all your pain,
your apple has been rotting
tomorrow's turned up dead
i have it all and i have no choice but to
i'll make everyone pay and you will see
you can kill yourself now
because you're dead
in my mind
the boy that you loved is the monster you fear
peel off all those eyes and crawl into the dark,
you've poisoned all of your children to camouflage your scars
pray unto the splinters, pray unto your fear
pray your life was just a dream
the cut that never heals
pray now baby, pray your life was just a dream
(I am so tangled in my sins that I cannot escape)
pinch the head off, collapse me like a weed
someone had to go this far
I was born into this
everything turns to shit
the boy that you loved is the man that you fear
peel off all those eyes and crawl into the dark,
you've poisoned all of your children to camouflage your scars
pray unto the splinters, pray unto your fear
pray your life was just a dream
the cut that never heals
pray now baby, pray your life was just a dream
the world in my hands, there's no one left to hear you scream
there's no one left for you

 

"And when you feel life ain't worth living
You've got to stand up and
Take a look around you look up way to the sky.
And when your deepest thoughts are broken,
Keep on dreaming boy, cause when you stop dreamin' it's time to die.
And as we all play parts of tomorrow,
some ways we'll work and other ways we'll play.
But I know we can't all stay here forever,
So I want to write my words on the face of today. "
Blind Melon-Change

"Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a color TV ?
Dialing For Dollars is trying to find me.
I wait for delivery each day until three,
So oh Lord, won’t you buy me a color TV ?

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town ?
I’m counting on you, Lord, please don’t let me down.
Prove that you love me and buy the next round,
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town ? "
Janis Joplin-Mercedes Benz

 

A doyenne of topiary once told me
That one day he would like to grow a maze
It seemed to me quite logical that this should be his wish
And with that we both went our separate ways

Half Man Half Biscuit, Rod Hull Is Alive - Why?

 

Everything someday will be gone except silence
Earth will be quiet again
Seas from clouds will wash off the ashes of violence
Left as the memory of men
There will be no survivors my friend

my back pages by bob dylan

 

And some man live his life
For profits alone
That very same man
He lives his life all alone
And the road to life
Yes it goes up and down
Doesn't really matter
As long as the music goes on


Slightly Stoopid - Collie man

 

This brings back a lot of memories. Unpleasantly euphoric ones. My mom freaked out like crazy when I bought this album. So much so, that she let my therapist know about it, and my goddamn therapist took it away for few weeks!! I gotsta pick this one up again.

 

Living Legends - Loose Cannon(1st verse, The Grouch)



Loose cannon bang
Loose cannon
Watch out
You never really know who's the next one to blow
Who's cannons loose, who's plannin what
Who's not plannin standing on shaky ground and demanding
What you're not handing out
Last straw, no fuse, broken law
There's no joking cause it's all on the news now
Every channel talking on the panel
Couldn't figure out little Jonny had problems
And his daddy kept a house full of guns
But it only took one, it only took one
He held the power, headed to the roof of the school
Didn't have to aim, yelling 'bout he wasn't a fool
He made that change close range
Students yellin, first time felon
Times fifty, now isn't that nifty
Trace it back to rap tapes
Said he was wearing black a lot
He wanted to be an astronaut, but he failed
He's headed to the moon though, didn't want to see jail
barrel in the mouth with no doubts, blown out skull
no bull, Jonny had us fooled
Rule number one, you can't spot him
If you think you got him, then tell us about him(go on)
Tell us about him(go on)
Tell us about him(come on)
Tell us about him

 

You tell me everything is beautiful
Beautiful in it's own way
You got such a lovely cancer darling
Eating right through your brain
'Blindspots' - Mudhoney

All full of wine, the world before her, was sober with no place to go.
Don't fool yourself, she was heartache from the moment that you met her.
'Forget Her' - Jeff Buckley

Now as I open my eyes to start another day
I'm in a pile of puke
Empty bag of excuses
My love for friends and family
you know I need them
'Walk' - Blind Melon

I ruse the day that I ever met you,
And deeply regret you getting close to me.
I cannot wait to deeply neglect you,
Deeply forget you, jesus believe me
You promised me poems.
'Poems' - Tricky

Come sit right down
Lay your head on my shoulder
It's not the point
That I'm forty years older
You can trust me
I'm no criminal
But I'd kill my mother
To be with you
'Edge Of The World' - Faith No More

 

I go to parties sometimes un till 4:00. Its hard to leave when you can't find the door.
Life's been good to me sooo faar. -Joe Walsh

Bob Dylan's A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall

And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin',
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world,
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin',
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin',
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin',
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

 

Shall I tell you about my life
They say I'm a man of the world
I've flown across every tide
And I've seen lots of pretty girls
I guess I've got everything I need
I would't ask for more
And there's no one I'd rather be
But I just wish that I'd never been born
break:
And I need a good woman
to make me feel like a good man should
I don't say I'm a good man
Oh, but I would be if I could
I could tell you about my life
And keep you amused I'm sure
About all the times I've cried
And how I don't want to be sad anymore
And how I wish I was in love

Fleetwood Mac, Man Of The World, 1969

 

You claimed all this time that you would die for me.
Why then are you so suprized when you hear your own eulogy?

He had a lot to say
he had a lot of nothing to say
he had a lot to say
he had a lot of nothing to say

 

"O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride."

[G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal]


Bind all of us together,
Ablaze with Hope and Free,
No storm or heavy weather
Will rock the boat you'll see.
The time has come to close your eyes
And still the wind and rain,
For the one who will be King
Is the Watcher in the Ring.
It is You.

Iron Maiden

 

Mostly Black Sabbath lyrics

WAR PIGS
Generals gathered in their masses,
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction,
Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning,
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind,
Poisoning their brainwashed minds

CHILDREN OF THE GRAVE
So you children of the world listen to what I say
If you want a better place to live in spread the word today
Show the world that love is still alive you must be brave,
Or you children of today are children of the grave.

ALL MOVING PARTS STAND STILL
Since he passed the motion they're building in the ocean
And he's saying ''all men should all be free''
What a combination, peace and radiation
And he's saying ''free men should fight for me''
Just like his momma, he seems to get his pleasure from pain,
And the rain, ain't that strange? Very strange, yeah!

 

the revolution starts now (in your own home town in your own back yard)

i don't know it well enough to post, but as lyrics go, that have been written/sung, in the past decade or so, it has to be one of, if not the, my favorites.

MOST of what i listen to doesn't have lyrics, what i do that does, tends to be that sort of alternative agit prop. for things, persepectives i believe in.

that and folk music of folk that haven't been born yet (or exist only in their author's immagination).
