Knuckledragger Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Artist: Megadeth Album: Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? Song: My Last Words Lyric: A couple grains of powder, A couple grams of lead. A touch against the trigger, A touch inside the head. Take another drink, and Raise the last bets. Think about my last words, They might be what I just said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungrych Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 That is the greatest douchebag song ever. Artist: Wu-Tang Clan Album: Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) Song: Da Mystery of Chessboxin' (Masta Killa's verse) Homicide's illegal and death is the penalty What justifies the homicide, when he dies? In his own iniquity it's the Master of the Mantis Rapture coming at you We have an APB on an MC Killer Looks like the work of a Master Evidence indicates that's it's stature Merciless like a terrorist hard to capture The flow, changes like a chameleon Plays like a friend and stabs you like a dagger This technique attacks the immune system Disguised like a lie paralyzing the victim You scream as it enters your bloodstream Erupts your brain from the pain these thoughts contain Moving on a nigga with the speed of a centipede and injure - ANY MOTHERFUCKING CONTENDERHe sounds like he's slicing you up with his rhymes! So damn serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopstretch Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Artist: The National Album: Alligator Song: "Stretch's Theme" "All The Wine" I'm put together beautifully, Big wet bottle in my fist, big wet rose in my teeth. I'm perfect piece of ass, like every Californian. So tall I take over the street, with high-beams shining up my back. A wingspan unbelievable, I'm a festival! I'm a parade! And all the wine is all for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPH Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Artist: Van Der Graaf Generator Album: Still life Song: La Rossa Lacking sleep and food and vision here I am again, encamped upon your floor, craving sanctuary and nourishment, encouragement and sanctity and more. The streets seemed very crowded, I put on my bravest guise- I know you know that I am acting, I can see it in your eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faust3d Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Artist: Tom Waits Album: Bone Machine Song: Dirt In The Ground What does it matter, a dream of love Or a dream of lies We're all gonna be in the same place When we die Your spirit don't leave knowing Your face or your name And the wind through your bones Is all that remains And we're all gonna be We're all gonna be Just dirt in the ground The quill from a buzzard The blood writes the word I want to know am I the sky Or a bird 'Cause hell is boiling over And heaven is full We're chained to the world And we all gotta pull And we're all gonna be Just dirt in the ground Now the killer was smiling With nerves made of stone He climbed the stairs And the gallows groaned And the people's hearts were pounding They were throbbing, they were red As he swung out over the crowd I heard the hangman said We're all gonna be Just dirt in the ground Now Cain slew Abel He killed him with a stone The sky cracked open And the thunder groaned Along a river of flesh Can these dry bones live? Ask a king or a beggar And the answer they'll give Is we're all gonna be Yea yeah We're all gonna be just Dirt in the ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Artist: Pain of Salvation Album: Road Salt One Song: Of Dust Come break my bones, come spread my ashes. Come wear me down, come wear me down. In life a king, in death a failure. Come help me cry, come help me cry. ... Dust in my throat, dust in my nostrils. Dust in my mouth, dust in my eyes. From dust I come, through dust I wander. Dust I'll remain - dust all I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mypasswordis Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Artist: Hot Chip Album: One Life Stand Song: Alley Cats Pretty much all of it, because the lyrics are so well constructed even though there's repetition. Well, the repetition is put to good effect. Here's one part: Well we wear each other's heads like hats Speak in tongues like alley cats Cradle them in both our laps When we lie (replaced by die the second time around) alone http://www.lyricsmania.com/alley_cats_lyrics_hot_chip.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark baguette Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 La Dispute - Sad Prayers for Guilty Bodies They stored their passion in the creases in the corners of their mouths, every angle of light from the open window washed their aged faces out. They said, "Should we feel guilty for this sin? Lord, did we kill a man and woman just to lie here skin to skin?" "I wasn't happy. I wasn't happy where I was.. What is life without a purpose? What is purpose without love? I pray my children will forgive me, though I bade the river flood. I have washed my hands a thousand times but still can see the blood." "Oh, great mercy, I am here to beg forgiveness for this mess. I know I tore two worlds apart but I can't change the way I felt. Love swept in like a storm and ripped the hinges from the doors. Love poured in like a flood, I couldn't stop it anymore. I will not be drowned." She said, "Lover, come and hold me, I am terribly afraid. While you're shouting at the stars, my scars are not fading away." He said, "Darling, I was begging heaven make them disappear, but, See, I didn't get an answer or at least one I could hear. Now, I am thinking of the past and how we both said vows and lied and I am wondering how we trust ourselves to say a second time: 'To have and to hold, From this day and onward, For better and for worse, For richer and for poorer, In sickness or in health, To love and to cherish Till death do us part?'" The song really channels some demons from my childhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 "When you came in the air went out..." "Bad Things", Jace Everett Yes, I've been watching True Blood. But I find myself returning to those opening lyrics, and when I try to recreate them in my head, I try to squeeze the word "room" in there somewhere, but ... IT'S NOT THERE...

Dusty Chalk Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 "In a little nowhere town Way out deep in the woods Sits a little lonely factory Makin' household goods With a little nothin' river Flowin' by their back door You won't find any fishin' There ain't no fish in there no more..." Planet P Project, "To Live Forever", Pink World I especially like the way he slurs the syllables in that last line so that it sounds like he's singing, "There ain't no fission there no more..."

Take it slow, oh, oh, gonna make it last" (emphasis mine, as that's the part I like so much -- also, kickass song) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Manfred Mann's Earth Band, "Martha's Madman", opening foray: "Martha has a madman Standing hidden in the shadows He's got a long curved Turkish dagger With a bejewelled handle He's tellin' her the world is full of freaks and geeks and simples and he's Hiding like a leprechaun under stones and in the ripples In the pool of time she thought she knew it - but someone threw a stone into it Which breaks up the surface and it's making her nervous..." Despite being sung without question marks, this actually raises more questions than it answers -- how does one 'hide like a leprechaun'? What is a Turkish dagger? I mean, obviously I can picture it, but I wouldn't have called it a dagger...and why does this song show up in 4 out of 5 of their live sets on the bootlegs archives, and how on earth does it rock so hard? And what on earth is up with that video: Also, lollers at "simples". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonShine Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Artist: Natalie Merchant Album: Ophelia Song: "Thick as Thieves" Lyric: "I come to you in restless sleep Where all your dreams turn bitter-sweet With voodoo doll philosophies And day-glo holy trinities The crooked raft that leaves the shore Ferries drunken souls aboard Pilgrims march to Compestela Visions of their saint in yellow All follow deep in trance Lost in a catatonic dance Know no future Damn the past Blind, warm, ecstatic Safe at last…" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
