oh no! lyrics from a GY!BE song??

The lyrics amidst my signature from "Dead Flag Blues".

the car's 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

Johnny C:
Tonight your ghost will ask my ghost,
"who put these bodies between us?"

Revenge_Therapist:
You don't what I'm all about
like killing cops and reading Kerouac.

Devastator:
ASturge, you left out the other amazing "Oh Comely" parts:

"but oh comely it isn't as pretty as
you'd like to guess
in your memory you're drunk on your awe to me
it doesn't mean anything at all"
and
"now we move to
feel for ourselves inside some stranger's stomach
place your body here let your skin begin to blend
itself with mine"

Also, Wolf Parade's "Sons and Daughters of Hungry Ghosts"
"But God doesn't always have the best God-damned plans, does he?"

and the Decemberists "Here I Dreamt I was an Architect"
"And we are vagabonds
We travel without seatbelts on
We live this close to death
And try one, and try two
Guess it always comes down to
Alright, it's okay, guess it's better to turn this
But I won, so you lose
Guess it always comes down to
Alright, it's okay, guess it's better to turn this way"

Pretty much any Decemberists, actually.
And the whole of Cursive's "Staying Alive."

--- Quote from: Shaft ---All very well... But aren't the majority of these just lyrics to entire songs? Not really worth the point of the topic.
--- End quote ---


Agreed. "Everybody dies frustrated and sad and that is beautiful."
