I'll check them out mangg. p.s you've made my day, ty.

GCommander, please tell me you're joking.

GCommander, please tell me you're joking.

No I'm not joking :nono:
Why you ask?

Well, I have two favorite song lyrics.
The first is We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed by Los Campesinos.

By the light of the LED display of a VCR recorder
You kiss my neck, I whisper in your ear, "this is my downfall"
As you squint and you grimace, we both know your heart's not in it

By the glow of a thousand fireflies in a travelodge en-suite:
They think the future's bright as halogen, we know it's pretty bleak
And I'm trying to be sexy, biting at the air that falls in front of me.

Your telegrams are more and more less detailed by the day
And all the characters are strangers and the pubs have different names
I tell a joke that I'd like to meet them but they loathe me and I hate them back

Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Fondness makes the absence longer
Length loses my interest, I'm a realist, I'm insatiable
Swapped counting days until I fly, with hours before your reply

You said he got his teeth fixed
I'm gonna break them
I've got a heart on fire
He said he's got his sights set
On getting to you
I've got a fist on fire

You feel terrified at the thought of being left behind
Of losing everybody, the necessity of dying
Oh, WE KID OURSELVES THERE'S FUTURE IN THE ****ING,
BUT THERE IS NO ****ING FUTURE
I'm just practising my accents, picking at old sutures

I taught myself the only way to vaguely get along in love
Is to like the other slightly less than you get in return
I keep feeling like I'm being undercut

Charlotte says, "It's more constructive than the one in Canada,
When you got drunk,
Ate loads of crisps
And threw up by a football pitch"
I know it is,
And really that's what worries me,
I feel like I should
Hurt.

You said he got his teeth fixed
I'm gonna break them
I've got a heart on fire
He said he's got his sights set
On getting to you
I've got a fist on fire

I cannot emphasise enough that my body
Is a badly designed, poorly put together vessel,
Harbouring these diminishing, so-called 'vital organs'
Hope my heart goes first,
I HOPE MY HEART GOES FIRST!

And
We are beautiful,
We are doomed.

My second one is Swing Your Heartache by Young Galaxy.

We do not believe that love is free
cause anything worth fighting for doesn't come for free
we believe in time that you will see
how a war might save us
how a war might save us
we believe in time that you will see
the institutions of the world will only serve to enslave us.

it's time for you and i to face the signs and realize that living's a battle
for all the times we cried and told the lies and realized life's not a rehearsal

come on babe, swing your heartache
come on babe, swing your heartache

we have learned that hope does not come cheap
we all must sacrifice in the name of our beliefs
we believe in time that you will see
the frontier is misery
the frontier is misery
what do you think it is that makes us free?
a life without boundaries if you question everything

it's time for you and i to face the signs and realize that living's a battle
for all the times we've cried and told the lies and realized life's not a rehearsal

come on babe, swing your heartache
come on babe, swing your heartache

here's something that you should know
getting older doesn't always mean you grow
turning from the shadows following behind you
to stare at the sun can easily blind you
the only way to learn, you're not afraid to die
could very well involve risking your life
despite the contradictions that these worlds imply,
you've got to live on, live on, live on.

come on babe (repeat to fade)

;D (LLL)

Since when did you like Modest Mouse, mayne?! And great first post. That is one hell of a song. Can't wait for the new album. <3

Modest Mouse is ****ing amazing.
I saw them live with Man Man, and both were astounding.
Man Man is basically a live band, and they put on a better performance, but Modest Mouse was nearly as good.
That's saying something, because Man Man is one of the most talented live bands ever.
Each member of Man Man plays like 4 instruments, and they only use a fraction of the size of their stages.
It's like five guys, and their set is teeny tiny compared to most.
Phenomenal performance.

 

[King Wiired]

This is my brain
And I live in it
It's made of love
and bad song lyrics.
It's tapped away behind my eyes
Where all my screwed up thoughts can hide

Mgmt- Love always remains

there's a place I'd like to go somewhere out west,
it's not specific, and the pictures show it best.
I know there's trees I know there's sand and I know there's grass,
I know it's somewhere in the past.
There's a girl out there who's lookin for it too,
she's not sure when she'll go or exactly what she'll do.
If i am doomed am I the first on or the last?
Am I just someone from the past?

No one has to hear, the sound of people laughing at their fear, and the ocean and sun are always there, to make you happy if you're feeling scared of the darkness.

If I ever saw a ghost it'd change the way I think.
I wouldn't gasp for air if ever I did sink.
I wouldn't struggle, I'd just let it all out fast,
and then start living in the past.

If we hold the hand that rapes the hand,
and everyone can feel the hand,
and nothing's gonna change,
it could be the time we're living in,
we'll never feel so safe again,
but love always remains

If I Didn't Have You - Tim Minchin

If I didn't have you to hold me tight
(If I didn't have you)
If I didn't have you to lie with at night
(When I'm feeling blue)
If I didn't have you to share my sights
(Share my sights)
And to kiss me and dry my tears when I cry...

Well I, really think that I would... have somebody else.

(If I didn't have you)
If I didn't have you, someone else would do
Your love is one in a million
(One in a million)
You couldnt buy it at any price
(Can't buy love)

But of the 9 point 9 hundred thousand other loves,
Statistically some of them would be equally nice.

(Equally nice)

Or maybe not as nice but say, smarter than you...
Or dumber but better at sport or...
Tracing

I'm just saying
(I really think that I would)
Probably
(Have somebody else)

Yeah.

(If I didn't have you)
If I didn't have you someone else would do
(Someone else would surely do)

If I were a rich man
And did a diddle diddle diddle diddle diddle diddly
I guess I would be with a surgeon or a model
Or any of the royals or a kennedy
Or a nymphomonical exhibitionist heiress to a large chain of hotels

If I were a rich man maybe I would fiddle
Fiddle diddle diddle with the rich man girls

I'm not saying that I'd not love you if I was wealthy or handsome
But realistically there's lots of fish in the sea
And if I had a different rod I would concievably land some

Even though I am fiscally consistantly pitiable
And considerably less brad pitt than brad pitiful
And I'm really so poor and ugly that you reckon only you could possibly love me
And I
(Really think that I would)
Probably
(Have somebody else)
Oh yeah

Visual.

(If I didn't have you)
(Someone else would surely do)

Look, I'm not undervaluing what we've got when I say
That given the role chaos inevitably plays in the inherently flawed notion of fate,
It's obstruse to deduse that I've found my soulmate at the age of 17
It's just mathematically unlikely that at a university in perth
I happened to stumble on the one girl on earth specifically designed for me

And if I may conjecture a further objection love is nothing to do with destined perfection
The connection is strengthened the affection simply grows over time
Like a flower
Or a mushroom
Or a guinea pig
Or a vine
Or a sponge
Or bigotry

... or a banana (banana)

And love is made more powerful by the ongoing drama of shared experience and synergy
And symbiotic empathy or something like that...

So I trust it would go without saying
That I would feel really very sad if tomorrow you were to fall off something high
Or catch something bad

But I'm just saying
I don't think you're special
I mean... I think your special
But
You fall within a bell curve

I mean, I'm just saying I
(Think that I would)
Probably
(Have somebody else)

I think you are unique and beautiful
You make me happy just by being around
(Being around)
But objectively you would have to agree that baby when I found you
Options are relatively thin on the ground
(Thin on the ground)
Your lovely but there must be girls as lovely as you
Or maybe more open to spanking or scrabble...
I'm just saying

(That I think that I would)
Probably
(Have somebody else)
I mean I reckon it's pretty likely that if for example
My first girlfriend jackie hadn't dumped me
After I kissed winstons ex girlfriend neah at stephs party back in 1993

And our variables would probably have been altered by the absence of that event
To have meant the advent of a tangential narrative and which we don't meet.

Which is to say there exists a theoretical hypothetical parallel life
Where what is is not as it is and I am not your husband and you are not my wife

And I am a stuntman living in LA
Married to a small blonde portugese skier
Who when she's not training
Does abstract painting
Practises yoga
And brews her own beer
And really like making home movies
And suffers neck down alopecia

But with all my heart and all my mind I know one thing is true
I have just one life and just one love and love that love is you
And if it wasn't for you
Baby you
(I really think that I would)
(Have somebody else)
Oh yeah
(If I didn't have you)
If I didn't have you someone else would do
(Someone else would surely do)
Dooooooooooooo.

I'm curious, what makes them your favourite lyrics?

I read them and whoever wrote the lyrics and posted them in the Internet can't spell for ****. I like the song but some words are spelled wrong.
I just like the song and like most of Lil Jon's songs.

 

[King Wiired]

Favourite lyrics, not songs.
Lyrics which have a meaning to you, I guess. Or that are clever or just have some appeal..

Not like
AND SWEAT DROP DOWN MY BALLS
AHHH SKEETSKEETSKEETSKEETSKEET

'cause though I like that song, the lyrics are ****ing horrible.

Ying Yang Twins ft Lil Jon: Salt Shaker

Shawty crunk on the floor wide open
Speak so much they call her Billy ocean
Row like eighteen wheeler
That hoe find but this hoe killer
She leakin, she's soak and wet
She leakin, soak and wet
Shake it like a salt shaker (shake it like a salt shaker)
Shake it like a salt shaker (shake it like a salt shaker)
P poppin, till you percolate
First booty on duty no time to wait
Make it work, with your wet t-shirt
***** you gotta shake it till your camel starts to hurt
Say the heals on your feet or the strap around your ankle
Call that ***** bojangles
Juicy like fruit or dosh like coup Deville
Used to get loose on the goose for real
Five dollars get your ass a table dance
If you got ten then bring a friend
Hoe shake your ass to the song then
If you ain't with it then we gone then
We ain't no boys we grown men
If you ain't gone dance then don't then
Why you wanna waste a niggaz song then
see your ass down doin nothin

Shawty crunk on the floor wide open
Speak so much they call her Billy ocean
Row like eighteen wheeler
That hoe find but this hoe killer
She leakin, she's soak and wet
She leakin, soak and wet
Shake it like a salt shaker (shake it like a salt shaker)
Shake it like a salt shaker (shake it like a salt shaker)

[Lil Jon]
Face the wall shawty, put your hands on it
Bounce that ass up and down make a ***** want it
Face the wall shawty, put your hands on it
Bounce that ass up and down make a ***** want it
Roll that ass round and round like a mother****in' wheel
Shake that **** this ain't no mother****in' drill
Roll that ass round and round like a mother****in' wheel
Shake that **** this ain't no mother****in' drill
Get crunk with it (what!)

Get crunk with it (what!)

Shake that ass real fast then stop (aaww ****!)
Shake that ass real fast then stop (aaww ****!)
Shake that ass real fast then stop (aaww ****!)
Shake that ass real fast then stop (aaww ****!)

Shawty crunk on the floor wide open

She leakin, she's soak and wet
She leakin, soak and wet
Shake it like a salt shaker (shake it like a salt shaker)
Shake it like a salt shaker (shake it like a salt shaker)

Shake it like a dollar five or ten
But what would you do for a twenty twen
Get on the stage shake that ass then
Get on the pole do a back ban

Work like a game that you playin' to win
Make that pussy fart for the Ying Yang Twins
Sixteen bitches in thongs in one club
The home of the fifth rate bones and butts

Sixty-nine plenty time will pay a bill
At day she a clerk but night she turn (stripper)
You're not even dated your just tryin to (tip her)

Shawty crunk on the floor wide open
Speak so much they call her Billy ocean
Row like eighteen wheeler
That hoe find but this hoe killer
She leakin, she's soak and wet
She leakin, soak and wet
Shake it like a salt shaker (shake it like a salt shaker)
Shake it like a salt shaker (shake it like a salt shaker)

Just Jack - The Day I Died

Drag myself from my bed, around 20 past 6
Get my kids up make breakfast,
1 egg 2 toast 3 Weetabix

And as I sit down I look up
And you're standing in the doorway sun at your back
in my old brown dressing gown
Well no one can love you more than I love you now, but I
Gotta go running for the bus
Coat flying and I try not to miss it this time
But the drivers waiting.. ain't that strange?
Kids on the top deck quiet for a change
And there’s no rain and no roadworks
In the bus lane and all my hurt's run away
and I'm smiling as I’m punching in.

The day I died was the best day of my life
The day I died was the best day of my life
Tell my friends and my kids and my wife
Everything will be alright
The day I died was the best day of my life

Now the secretaries they got a smile for me
and the in-tray on my desks almost empty
I get a memo from Executive Joe
saying Rob the gob is getting kicked out
for embezzling funds from the company account
and I'd be lying if i said I wasn’t chuffed
'Cause I always hated Rob
and now they’ll probably offer me Rob's old job

And in the park at lunch
there's no whinos on my favourite bench
None of that drunk chatter none of that pissy stench
And the scrawny little pigeons with the gammy legs
decide to dive bomb for someone else’s sandwich instead
And there's something about the city today
like all the colours conspire to overwhelm the grey
and this close to the fire I can feel no cold
but a rainbow halo around my soul.

The day I died was the best day of my life
The day I died was the best day of my life
Tell my friends and my kids and my wife
Everything will be alright
The day I died was the best day of my life

So I leave work get to the High Street and I miss my bus
Should I wait for another? No I can't be arsed
I begin to walk
and rush hour crowd seem to part like the red sea
and I'm stopping at the offy
20 cigarettes and a 6 pack to relax me
and as I cross back over the street
I guess I never saw that taxi
I guess I never saw that taxi

The day I died was the best day of my life
The day I died was the best day of my life
Tell my friends and my kids and my wife
Everything will be alright
The day I died was the best day of my life.

Now I got 99 red balloons floating in the summer sky
I got 99 red balloons drifting past my dreamy eyes
I got 99 red balloons floating in the summer sky
I got 99 red balloons drifting past my dying eyes

Nice save, Mikey.

Recently been been listening to a side-project by Modest Mouse front man Isaac Brock, Ugly Casanova. Beautiful music, beautiful lyrics.. amazing stuff. Took me a while to get into it, but now I'm hooked like a level 9 Magikarp on an old rod.

Don't like how these lyrics are written out, but I cba to do them myself.

Hotcha Girls by Ugly Casanova

Smells like autumn smells like leaves you don't
know that you'll rust and not belong so much
and then get left alone,
Suck it up take a ride and take a walk,
Don't you know that old folks homes
smell so much like my own - the hotcha girls
at the palisades dime store keets..... Pretty birds
..... Pretty mouths.
Mamas little truck stop rose, her dancy-Feet her happy laugh.
We were dropping dimes on the ponies
in the cul de sac, casting shadows throwing sparks.
We left our teeth marks on the barrel of the gun,
The clipper ship across your chest,
Turns out the pony
only had one trick, a wink for the truckstop boys
They learned it all from the polaroids.
Smells like autumn smells like leaves you
don't know that you'll rust up and not belong so much
and then get left alone. Suck it up take
a ride and take a walk don't you know that
old folks homes smell so much like my own
home. Time bends light, paints all peeling,
wait outside, take four rights.
The hotcha girls in the palisades, dime store
keets pretty birds pretty mouths. Glass eyes
and in the wooden teeth. The engines roasting
in deep deep sleep....it waits. The mail
came from miles away, the postal man
is always late, and we wait and we wait.
Tight lipped with a big 'ol mouth, the government
workers all deaded south while it rained
glassy eyes and the wooden teeth, the engine
rusted in deep deep sleep. And it waits, and it
waits, to awake.

Barnacles by Ugly Casanova

I don't really need to see
so i don't need to see so I'll paint
I don't know, I'll paint it black
I don't need to see
I don't see how you see out of your window
I don't need to see, I'll paint mine black
I don't need to see
I don't see how you see out of your window
I don't need to see, I'll paint mine black
I don't know me and you don't know you
so we fit so good together
cos I knew you like i knew myself
we clung on like barnacles on a boat
even though the ship sinks you know you can't let go
I was talking like two hands knocking
yelling 'let me in, let me in, please come out.'
black glass, dirt-based soap,
tell yourself what you know.
my friends, oh my friends,
bury your head I'll help you bury your plans.
hard hit, hard to miss, problems are what a problem is.
my light came up quick, call it your asterisk,
buried like boys in a boys first book of the stars
saw it as satellite
constant unblinking as
buried in the bottom of a bottom of a brackish lake
I don't really need to see
so i don't need to see so I'll paint
I don't know, I'll paint it black
I don't need to see
I don't see how you see out of your window
I don't need to see, I'll paint mine black
I don't need to see
I don't see how you see out of your window
I don't need to see, I'll paint mine black

The Game ft 50 Cent "Hate It Or Love It"

[50 Cent] Ya, let's take em back Uh huh
Comin up I was confused my momma kissin a girl
Confusion occurs comin up in the cold world
Daddy ain't around probably out commitin felonies
My favorite rapper used to sing ch-check out my melody
I wanna live good, so **** I sell dope for a fo-finger ring One of them gold ropes
NaNa told me if I pass could get a sheep skin coat
If I can move a few packs and get the hat, now that'd be dope
Tossed and turned in my sleep that night
Woke up the next morning niggas done stole my bike
Different day same ****, ain't nothing good in the hood
I'd run away from this ***** and never come back if I could
[Chorus (50 then Game):]
Hate it or love it the underdog's on top
And I'm gonna shine homie until my heart stop
Go head' envy me I'm raps MVP
And I ain't goin nowhere so you can get to know me
Hate it or love it the underdog's on top
And I'm gonna shine homie until my heart stop
Go head' envy me I'm raps MVP
And I ain't goin nowhere so you can get to know me
[Game]
On the grill of my lowrider
Guns on both sides right above the gold wires
I'll fo-five em Kill a ***** on my song but really do it
Thats the true meaning of a ghostrider
10 g'z will take ya daughter out of Air Forces
Believe you me homie i know all bout losses
I'm from Compton where the wrong colors be cautious
One phone call will have ya body dumped in Marcy
I stay strapped like car seats
Been bangin since my lil ***** Rob got killed for his Barkley's
That's 10 years I told Pooh in 95' I'd kill you if you try me for my Air Max 95s
Told Banks when i met him imma ride
And if I gotta die rather homicide
I ain't have 50 Cent when my Grandmomma died
Now i'm goin back to Cali with my Jacob on See how time fly?
[Chorus - 50 Cent]
From the beginnin to the end Losers lose, winners win
This is real we ain't got to pretend
The cold world that we in
Is full of pressure and pain
Enough of me ***** now listen to Game
[Game]
Used to see 5-0 throw the crack by the bench
Now i'm ****in with ~5-0~ it's all startin to make ~sense~
My moms happy she ain't gotta pay the rent
And she got a red bow on that brand new Benz
Waitin on Sha Money to land sittin in the Range
Thinkin how they spend 30 million dollars on airplanes
When there's kids starvin
Pac is gone and Brendas still throwin babies in the garbage
I wanna know what's goin on like i hear Marvin
No school books they use that wood to build coffins
Whenever I'm in the booth and i get exhausted
I think what if Marie Banker got that abortion
I love ya Ma'
[Chorus X2]
