    post some cool song lyrics...

    this is a tune by, maybe, aside from rush the greatest band ever from canada. the tragically hip.

    Bobcaygeon.

    I left your house this morning about a quarter after nine
    coulda been the Willie Nelson coulda been the wine
    when I left your house this morning
    it was a little after nine
    it was in Bobcaygeon I saw the constellations
    reveal themselves one star at a time

    Drove back to town this morning with working on my mind
    I thought of maybe quitting
    thought of leaving it behind
    went back to bed this morning
    and as I'm pulling down the blind
    the sky was dull and hypothetical
    and falling one cloud at a time

    That night in Toronto with its checkerboard floors
    riding on horseback and keeping order restored
    til the men they couldn't hang
    stepped to the mic and sang
    and their voices rang with that Aryan twang

    I got to your house this morning just a little after nine
    in the middle of that riot
    couldn't get you off my mind
    so I'm at your house this morning
    just a little after nine
    cause it was in Bobcaygeon where I saw the constellations
    reveal themselves one star at a time...



    Bobcaygeon is a small town north of toronto.

    i'll post two...

    "A Cross And A Girl Named Blessed"

    She wears a butterfly on her wrist
    But she might as well cut it's head off
    She's holding out for weapons to kill the ghost inside
    Or at least kill the thought she has of killing her mind
    she says "I love you" with her hands, she says "I hate you" with her eyes

    Theres a pretty girl somewhere, with a pretty name
    But I could never let you know how much this means
    I swear we'll end this war, cause we both know
    It wasn't worth fighting for

    I wear God's name up by my wrist but she might as well tear my skin off
    She's letting go convictions, to release the ghost inside
    To release all the suffering of a cross and a girl
    I sing "I love you" way too much, so I'll say "I hate you" for tonight

    Theres a pretty girl somewhere, with a pretty name
    But I could never let you know how much this means
    I swear we'll end this war, cause we both know
    It wasn't worth fighting for

    She, she said to me I will be driving in the wrong direction
    Did you ever think, that maybe your life,
    Is heading in the wrong direction, baby

    There's a cross up on the wall
    See from the corner of your eye
    When you're down on your knees
    And she's begging please
    So go and lay back down tonight
    Because you won't know who you are
    Until you're down on your knees
    And you're begging please

    Theres a pretty girl somewhere, with a pretty name
    But I could never let you know how much this means
    I swear we'll end this war, cause we both know
    It wasn't worth fighting for

    that was by Canadien band Evans Blue...

    And now for some Stabbing Westward...

    "The Thing I Hate (P.O.M.F.)"

    Lost in a world of doubt and insecurity
    Nothing that you hold sacred, nothing you believe
    Your life is a contradiction
    While you thrive on manipulation
    I fight to just hold on to what I believe
    I won't become the thing I hate
    I won't become the thing I hate
    I won't become the thing I hate
    I won't become you

    You've treated me like I'm a worthless piece of ****
    You think you're in control but you make me sick
    I want to watch you suffer
    The way that you've made me suffer
    I want to **** up everything you've ever loved

    I won't become the thing I hate
    I won't become the thing I hate
    I won't become the thing I hate
    I won't become you
    You smell that? That's the smell of spring, and I love it. You know what I love to do in spring? I love to come out into the woods, to walk amongst the budding trees, to smell and taste the hint of renewal that hovers in the air like a heady perfume, and to listen to the song of the birds who have returned from their long sojourn south. And bury the people I killed during the winter...

    I think these are more appropriate for this site

    I Love the Dead
    Alice cooper


    I love the dead before they're cold,
    Their bluing flesh for me to hold.
    Cadaver eyes upon me see...
    nothing.

    I love the dead before they rise.
    No farewells, no goodbyes.
    I never even knew your now rotting face.

    While friends and lovers mourn your silly grave...
    I have other uses for you darling.

    I love the dead.
    I love the dead so much.

    Join in my quest to leave life overturned
    Spanning the world wave of doom
    Spewing out death with the evil I've churned
    Awaken the dead from their tomb
    Love turns to lust the sensations I've felt
    Exploring the pleasures of sin
    Making the bast of the cards I've been dealt
    Adjusting the odds so I win

    Unleash all my burning wrath
    Potential killing machine
    Take down all who block my path
    Enjoying all that's obscene... born of fire

    Prince of all darkness initiation
    Ritually baptized in flames
    Next to the throne my abomination
    Spreads terror throughout the domain
    Master the art that controls the impure
    Inherit the infamous keys
    Thousands of centuries I will endure
    Tyrant of all prophecies

    Some have called me Satan's son
    A name I cannot deny
    Wielding fury that's second to none
    Far to vile to confine... born of fire

    All things dead must rise again
    When twilight's blanket falls
    Splattered red you'll find my den
    Blood dripping from the walls

    Dreams born of desire
    Shaped and forged within the fire
    Twisted, warped, deranged I see
    The world's corrupt insanity

    7734 is back!

    how about this

    Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Up Jumped The Devil


    O My O My
    What a wretched life
    I was born on the day
    That my poor mother died
    I was cut from her belly
    With a stanley knife
    My daddy did a jig
    With the drunk midwife

    Who's that yonder all in flames
    Dragging behind him a sack of chains
    Who's that yonder all in flames
    Up jumped the Devil and he staked his claim

    O poor heart
    I was doomed from the start
    Doomed to play
    The villians part
    I was the baddest Johnny
    In the apple cart
    My blood was blacker
    Than the chambers of a dead nun's heart

    Who's that milling on the courthouse steps
    Nailing my face to the hitching fence
    Who's that milling on the courthouse steps
    Up jumped the Devil and off he crept

    O no O no
    Where could I go
    With my hump of trouble
    And my sack of woe
    To the digs and deserts of Mexico
    Where my neck was safe from the lynching rope

    Who's that yonder laughing at me
    Like I was the brunt of some hilarity
    Who's that yonder laughing at me
    Up jumped the Devil 1, 2, 3

    Ha-Ha Ha Ha
    How lucky we were
    We hit the cathouse
    And sampled their whares
    We got as drunk
    As a couple of Czars
    One night I spat out
    My lucky stars

    Who's that dancing on the jailhouse roof
    Stamping on the ramping with a cloven hoof
    Who's that dancing on the jailhouse roof
    Up jumped the Devil and said "Here is your man and I got proof"

    O no don't go O no
    O slow down Joe
    The righteous path
    Is straight as an arrow
    Take a walk
    And you'll find it too narrow
    Too narrow for the likes of me

    Who's that hanging from the gallow tree
    His eyes are hollow but he looks like me
    Who's that swinging from the gallow tree
    Up jumped the Devil and took my soul from me

    Down we go Down we go Down we go
    The Devil and me Down we go down down down
    Hell fire and flames Down we go Down we go
    To Eternity Down we go We go down down down
    Down we go we go down down down
    Down we go the Devil and me to Eternity
    We go down down down down down ad inferno
    "Naturally, the common people don't want war, but they can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.
    Tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and endangering the country.
    it works the same in every country."

    how about this (translated from Italian):

    If I were fire I'd burn the world
    If I were water I would drown it
    If I were wind I would storm it
    If I were God I would send it into the Abyss

    If I were were pope
    I'd happily chain up all the christians
    If I were emporer
    I would behead them all

    If I were Death, i'd visit my Dad
    If I were Life I would run away from him
    Same damn thing with my Mom

    If i were Cecco (as I am and was)
    I'd keep all the young, sexy women
    and leave the fat, old ugly ones for everyone else

    Wow, that dude has some serious issues.


    I've got my own spirit level for balance
    To tell if my choice is leaning up or down
    And all the shouting voices
    Try to throw me off my course
    Some by sermon, some by force
    Fools and thieves are dangerous
    In the temple and marketplace

    Like a forest bows to winter
    Beneath the deep white silence
    I will quietly resist

    Like a flower in the desert
    That only blooms at night
    I will quietly resist

    I don't have faith in faith
    I don't believe in belief
    You can call me faithless
    I still cling to hope
    And I believe in love
    And that's faith enough for me

    ; Two feet of mine
    Have been mislead
    Across this dirty street
    By hanging heads
    Get yourself together
    Isnt that what they said
    You should stop walking through the city
    With the living dead
    Its no use
    Go run and hide
    You cant escape this
    Sea of sunken eyes
    You know
    We got the look
    We got the push
    We got the pull
    Now
    Who do you think
    Is gonna rise when
    Hell is full
    Dont ask for trouble
    Youll get double
    Stop that shouting
    Theres no use howling
    Those good old days
    Are dead and gone
    If you dont know
    whats going on
    get with it man
    get with it
    heres some advise
    dont loose your head
    thats what you get for
    sticken out your neck
    you know
    I got myself together
    Just like you said
    Im conquering this city
    With the
    Living dead
    Stop that shouting
    Theres no use howling
    Those good old days
    Are dead and gone
    If you dont know
    whats going on
    get with it man
    get with it
    Stop that shouting
    Theres no use howling
    Those good old days
    Are dead and gone
    If you dont know
    whats going on
    get with it man
    get with it


    not as good without the beat

    CARCASS - Buried Dreams

    Welcome, to a world of hate
    A life of buried dreams
    Smothered, by the soils of fate
    Welcome, to a world of pain
    Bitterness your only wealth
    The sand of time kicked in your face
    Rubbed in your... face

    When aspirations are squashed
    When life's chances are lost
    When all hope is gone
    When expectations are quashed
    When self esteem is lost
    When ambition is mourned
    ...All you need is hate

    In futility, for self preservation
    We all need someone
    Someone to... hate

    There seems to be alot of hate and anger in the lyrics in this thread, so I thought I would do my part to brighten it up.

    The Beatles - All You Need is Love

    Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.

    There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
    Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
    Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
    It's easy.
    There's nothing you can make that can't be made.
    No one you can save that can't be saved.
    Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be in time
    It's easy.

    All you need is love, all you need is love,
    All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
    Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
    All you need is love, all you need is love,
    All you need is love, love, love is all you need.

    There's nothing you can know that isn't known.
    Nothing you can see that isn't shown.
    Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
    It's easy.

    All you need is love, all you need is love,
    All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
    All you need is love (all together now)
    All you need is love (everybody)
    All you need is love, love, love is all you need.

    Well, facetious choice or not, that is a great song. Cheers

    Nope, just a lot of bad lyrics. As Harlan Ellison would agree, along with sex and driving a car, everyone believes that they can write great song lyrics. There's nothing to it! In reality, it takes great skill to be able to write good lyrics, and very few people are actually any good at it. Just turn on the radio if you need any proof.

    barenaked ladies- the flag

    The phone rings, it's early, it's seven o'clock
    He says 'Sorry I woke you, but I just had to talk
    You know, last night remember when I tried to choke you
    I didn't mean it - I was drunk, it was only a joke.
    You should know that by now
    When the checkered flag comes down
    No one, no one, no one has
    Won the race'

    The next he's over and over and under
    And after he's finished she lies there and wonders
    Just why does she need him and why does she stay here
    And then in the darkness she'll quietly say, 'Dear
    You've never really known
    That when the white flag is flown
    No one, no one, no one has
    Won the war'

    They're complicated people living complicated lives
    And he complicates their problems
    Telling complicated lies
    He tells her he's sorry
    She tells him it's over
    She says over and over
    'You've never really known
    That when the white flag is flown
    No one, no one, no one has
    Won the war'

    There goes a forest and there goes a bluebird
    There goes a partridge and there goes a Go-Train
    There goes an angel and there goes a steeple
    There goes a cop car and there goes an eagle
    There goes a raven and there go the ribbons
    There goes a raven and there go the ribbons
    There goes a raven and there go the ribbons
    The ribbons, the ribbons, the ribbons,
    The ribbons of the flag
