"And the dirt beneath my heels in the road,
Obeys commands from me and helps me as I go,
And though it helps me know you're never far away,
I can't help wondering how you might feel about me today." -Jack White,Never Far Away
-
"Pray for content, settle for free rent
High five, look up look alive
As the scions of history
Guess another mystery
WRONG!"
-New Pornographers- Ballad of a Comeback Kid
"Singers like the sound
Sounds like oh well
I know times like these are the hell"
-Broken Social Scene- It's All Gonna Break

"If you’re going off to war then I wish you well
But don’t be sore
If I cheer the other team
Killing people’s not my scene
I prefer to give the inhabitants a say
Before you blow their town away
I like to watch them play
I like to marvel at the random beauty of a simple village girl
Why should she be the one who’s killed?"
Belle and Sebastian - If Yo FInd Yourself Caught in Love
"And if a double-decker bus
Crashes in to us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine"
The Smiths - There is a Light That Never Goes Out

"He was knocking on doors; she was watchin' television;
He said, "Money for the kids? I'm collecting for World Vision."
Her heart was full of pity for a world that's full of grief:
He donated to a charity she called Hand Relief."
TISM - (Theres gonna be) Sex Tonight

Opeth - The Moor
The sigh of summer upon my return
Fifteen alike since I was here
Bathed in deep fog, blurring my trail
Snuffing the first morning rays
Weary from what might have been ages
Still calm with my mind at peace
Would I prosper or fall, drain the past
The lapse of the moment took it's turn
I was foul and tainted, devoid of faith
Wearing my death-mask at birth
The hands of God, decrepit and thin
Cold caress and then nothing
I was taken away from my plight
A treason bestowed to the crowd
Branded a jonah with fevered blood
Ungodly freak, defiler
Pale touch, writhing in the embers
Damp mud burning in my eyes
All the faces turned away
And all would sneer at my demise
Outcast with dogmas forged below
Seared and beaten, banished from where I was born
No mercy would help me on my way
In the pouring rain nothing is the same
Vows in ashes
I pledge myself to no-one
Seethed and spiteful
All shudder at the call of my name
If you'll bear with me
You'll fear of me
There is no forgiveness in these eyes
For any of you but one
Dispel the mist for now
Melinda is the reason why I've come
She is waterdrops over the pyre
A thistle in my hands
Stained and torn, aged and brown
Virtous shell with kindred innocense
I awoke from the miasma
Passing swiftly through the moor
This is here, waters stir
And in the distance all that was lost
If you'll bear with me
You'll fear of me
You'd never leave me to
A fate with you
Sopor Aeternus - Dead Souls
Hidden behind merciful shadows, beyond the cruel daylight,
living to hunt and kill, we are the... damned children of the night.
Dragging our immune existence through thousands of centuries
and from dusk to dawn we suffer from our immortality.
Hosts contaminate our tombs and crosses burn our skin,
you can kill us a thousand times, but we're the ones,
who will always remain ... - In Pain ... In Pain:
"I'm the resurrection-man, who steals his own corpse
and abducts himself to the beloved catacombs and vaults".
Death and decay, cadaverous smell,
for us there's neither heaven, nor is there a hell,
and only the stigmata could be able to betray
the sombre existence of the former days.
After the dead Lover's kiss you fall into a dream,
but with your second birth you're a prince in our mournful realm.
By day, when a million suns are killing with their shine,
the cold, dark crypts are saving me ... and mine.
Death and decay, cadaverous smell,
for us there's neither heaven, nor is there a hell,
and only the stigmata could be able to betray
the sombre existence of the former days ...

"And there's things I would like to do
That you don't believe in
I would like to build something
But you'll never see it happen"
Third Eye Blind, Motorcycle Drive By
"I am the entertainer; I've had to pay my price
The things I did not know at first I learned by doing twice
But still they come to haunt me; still they want their say
So I've learned to dance with my hand in my pants
And I rub my neck and I write 'em a cheque
And they go their merry way."
Billy Joel, The Entertainer

I hope that our few remaining friends
give up on trying to save us.
I hope we come out with a fail-safe plot
to piss off the dumb few that forgave us.
I hope the fences we mended
fall down beneath their own weight.
And I hope we hang on past the last exit,
I hope it's already too late.
And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here
someday burns down.
And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away,
and I never come back to this town again.
In my life, I hope I lie,
and tell everyone you were a good wife.
And I hope you die,
I hope we both die.
I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow;
I hope it bleeds all day long.
Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises;
we're pretty sure they're all wrong.
I hope it stays dark forever,
I hope the worst isn't over.
And I hope you blink before I do,
and I hope I never get sober.
And I hope when you think of me years down the line,
you can't find one good thing to say.
And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out,
you'd stay the hell out of my way.
I am drowning.
There is no sign of land.
You are coming down with me,
hand in unlovable hand.
And I hope you die,
I hope we both die.

Frickin' love that song.
I can only think of one line at the moment, but it's absolutely gorgeous.

it ain't that in their hearts they're bad
they'd stick by you if they could
but that's just bullshit
people just ain't no good
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - People Ain't No Good
Well we stick our fingers in
The ground, heave and
Turn the world around
Smoke is blacking out the sun
At night I pray and clean my gun
The cracked bell rings as
The ghost bird sings and the gods
Go beggin here
So just open fire
As you hit the shore
All is fair in love
And war
Hoist that rag!
Tom Waits - Hoist that Rag
every terrible thing
is a relief
even months on end
buried in grief
are easy, light times
which have to end
with the coming
of your death friend
death to everyone
is gonna come
and it makes hosing
much more fun
so strap me on
and raise me high
cos buddy, i'm not
afraid to die
cos life is long
and it's tremendous
and we're glad
that you're here with us
and since we know
an end will come
it makes our living
fun
Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - Death to Everyone
I always have a tendency of just saying Will Oldham, Nick Cave and Tom Waits when I am asked about great lyricists. Which is with good reason I think.
-
Great lyricists...well, don't get me started on Nick Cave, I'll just toss one out there:
'You weren't much of a muse
But then, I weren't much of a poet.'
Nick Cave - There She Goes, My Beautiful World
-
Seraphim in seaweed swim where stick-limbed Myla lies - The Decemberists "Song for Myla Goldberg"
I'm a whore for alliteration and this line makes me all ready for a good rogering.
All I can see is black and white
And white and pink and blades of blue
That lay between the words I think
On a page I was meaning to send her
With you I couldn't tell if it bring my heart
The way I wanted when I started
Writing this letter to you" - Wilco, "I Am The Man Who Loves You"
-
Let's pretend your wallet-chain is functional
Obscurity is not a fucking badge
Celebrate animals, celebrate animals
Standing in the corner like your girlfriend's dead hey hey!

When a man lies he murders
Some part of the world
These are the pale deaths which
Men miscall their lives
All this i cannot bear
To witness any longer
Cannot the kingdom of salvation
Take me home

"Why do you view me with
Eyes unable to see
The beauty in all that is pure
When it's left to live free?"
Skyclad - The Cry of the Land
"I stand here before you
The way life has made me
Ill mannered, foul mouthed
Bad tempered and lazy
I stare at your world
Down the neck of a bottle
Every day is a death ride
When I hold the throttle.
To the drowning I am water
For your calm I am the storm
I'm the fiend who's with your daughter
In bed well before the dawn.
Was I the cat that got the bird?
They'll put the blame on me
Everything was grand in wonderland
Till Charles Manson came to tea."
Skyclad - The Wickedest Man in the World
"I woke from my daydream--discovered my nightmare was real,
At the altar of progress to gods of ambition we kneel,
Our database deities--they cannot save us,
Microchip miracles only enslave us.
The high priests of high finance claim that their actions are wise--
But our planet still dies!
It dies for the want of more people who care
'bout the poisons we pump in the seas and the air,
Yet blissfully ignorant--still unaware,
We strive for a future entwined with despair.
You say, "Why waste concern on the rivers and trees
they belong to mankind to exploit as we please?"
Face up to the fact that mankind's a disease
irrelevant microbes with colour T.V.s."
Skyclad - Our Dying Island
"D.J.s, V.J.s, pimps and trollops,
never mind music - this is bollocks!
...
Stand your ground behind the times -
and refuse to follow fassion.
Write your poetry with anger,
(and then sing it with a passion)."
Skyclad - Penny Dreadful
"Alone he sits -
a vanquished Lord
Upon an oaken throne,
presiding o'er this conflict
that chills him to the bone,
for each tarnished blade that festers
is a thorn thrust in his side,
and His pain alone bears witness
to the folly of mankind...
THE FOLLY OF MANKIND!"
Sabbat - Horned is the Hunter

i saw her at the party pit. she was shaky but still trying to shake it.
half naked and three quarters wasted.
she was completely alone.
i saw him at the riverbank. he was breaking bread and giving thanks.
with crosses made of pipes and planks. leaned up against the nitrous tanks.
he said take a hit. hold your breath and i'll dunk your head.
then when you wake up again. you'll be high as hell and born again.
there's strings attached to every single lover.

Tear Garden - In Search of My Rose
I found you crying outside on the wall of Devil's Well...
A hangman's knot around your foot and praying for the spell
to be shattered. May I be the one to rip those shackles clean away
and lead you to a place where loneliness is tackled with a kiss?
A kiss that has no ropes, no strings, and no obligations.
I don't owe you; be quite sure that you don't owe me.
-
Okay, I gotta post more, by various people:
'I noticed at the ceremony
your corrupt ways had finally made you blind'
Bob Dylan - Idiot Wind
'L is for love
O is for only you that I do
V is for loving nearly all that you are
E is for loving almost everything that you do
R is for rape me
M is for murder me
A is for answering all my prayers
N is for knowing your loverman's going to be the answer to all of yours'
Nick Cave - Loverman
That's all I Can be bothered to post right now. I'll be back.

"Jesus the mexican boy,
Born in a truck on the fourth of July
Gave me a card with a lady,naked,on the back." -Iron and WineJesus The Mexican Boy
"CATINFLAS WAS A BODY ROCKER!" -Mindless Self Indulgence,Whipstickagostop
"now
necks are cracking sideways
hit me from the back side
i am on the white side
you are on the black side
cut a piece thats bite size
shoot me from my good side
if you got a straight line
this would be a good time" The Dresden Dolls,Gravity
-
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round, round, round
-
I'm a whore for alliteration and this line makes me all ready for a good rogering.
May I suggest that you be careful around the Fiery Furnaces' "Cousin Chris" and "Sullivan's Social Slub?" Exposure to more than around ten seconds of either at a time will probably cause you to have so many orgasms that you explode.
-
But my faith is like a bullet
My belief is like a bolt
The only thing that lets me sleep at night
A little carriage of the soul
If it starts a little bleaker
Then the year may yet be gold
Happiness is not for keeping
Happiness is not my goal
Belle and Sebastian - Stay Loose

venom - BLARK MEATAL
Black is the night, metal we fight
Power amps set to explode
Energy screams, magic and dreams
Satan records the first note.
We chime the bell, chaos and hell
Metal for maniacs pure.
Fast melting steel, fortune on wheels
Brain haemorrhage is the cure
For BLACK METAL
lay down your soul to the gods rock `n' roll
Freaking so wild, nobody's mild
Giving it all that you've got.
Wild is so right, metal tonight
Faster than over the top.
Open the door, enter hells core
Black is the code for tonight
Atomic force, feel no remorse
Trunk up the amps now it's night
BLACK METAL
lay down your soul to the gods rock `n' roll
metal ten fold through the deadly black hole
riding hells stallions bareback and free
faking our chances with raw energy
Come ride the night with us
Rock hard and fight
United my legions we stand
Freak hard and wild for us
Give up your souls
Live for the guest satans band
Against the adds, black metal gods
Fight to achieve our goal
Tasting a spell, leather and hell
Black metal gods rock `n' roll
Building up steam, nuclear screams
War-heads are ready to fight
Black leather hounds, faster than sound
Metal our purpose in life.
BLACK METAL
lay down your soul to the gods rock `n' roll
black metal

Khar are Skyclad really that awesome?
This is the song they wrote about themselves:
"At the vanguard of a juddering caravan,
hurriedly galloping down a dirt-track.
Six furtive figures, crooked as Caliban;
Smuggling hope to the land of the claque.
Weary, hoarse-riders; irksomely blistered.
Spent from a decade a-roving the road.
Frigging a jig for our brothers and sisters;
Stark-raving-madrigals by the cartload.
Without trepidation I sing in laudation;
Vocal salute to all travelling tinkers.
Vagabond nation joined in congregation.
United free-thinkers cry from the bryony;
"Any old irony?!"
Come one, come all to our travelling circus;
Cast-off your cares for the painted parade.
Whirl down the wynd like dervish-berserkers;
If life hands us lemons; we'll make lemonade.
Maybe Jay's smashed, drumming up passion;
Scarring forever with each brisk tattoo
Bean's in the place so bass is in fashion,
killing us all with his amp set on 2.
Watch out for Ridley The Raucously Tiddly,
Unplugged he's no Dr. Jekyll....so Hyde!
Desperate-Dan-Ramsey; deft fingers diddle.
Watching The Match on a telly stage-side.
The cat on the fiddle, Miss Georgie Biddle;
Keeping it reeling with her fugue electric.
Stuck in the middle I'll rhyme you a riddle;
Irate and eclectic my cry from the bryony;
"Any old irony?!"
Come one, come all to our travelling circus;
Cast-off your cares for the painted parade.
Whirl down the wynd like dervish-berserkers;
If life hands us lemons; we'll make lemonade."
So, basically, yes.
-
"I can't prepare for death anymore than I already have."
-
"Now it is time to find out how you died.
Remember that death is not the end, but only a transition."
I'm not sure if that really counts, since it was a spoken interlude, but I've always liked it.
-
"We like to drink and party high
We're not afraid to fight, we're not afraid to die
We like to fuck, any girl will do
We're not ashamed of the things we do
Drink, fight and fuck
Drink, fight and fuck
Give me a bottle, Jack Daniels will do
Stay out of my way I'm gonna flatten you
Give me a girl, I don't care who
'Cause drink, fight and fuck is what I'm gonna do
Drink, fight and fuck
Drink, fight and fuck" -GG Allin "Drink, Fight and Fuck"

Hell, I'm tempted to do an entire thread of Bruce Springsteen tracks, but I won't.
Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night now they blew up his house too
Down on the boardwalk they're gettin' ready for a fight gonna see what them racket boys can do
Now there's trouble busin' in from outta state and the D.A. can't get no relief
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade and the gamblin' commission's hangin' on by the skin of its teeth
Well now everything dies baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Atlantic City - Bruce Springsteen
I got a hand
So I got a fist
So I got a plan
It's the best that I can do
Now we'll say it's in God's hands
But God doesn't always have the best goddamn plans, does he?

The obligatory Beefheart post. Probably my favorite lyricist.
Quietly the rain played down on last of the ashes
Quietly the light played down on her lashes
She smiled 'n twisted she smiled 'n twisted
Hideously looking back at what once was beautiful
Playing naturally magically
O' her ragged hair was shinin' red white n' blue
All 'n all the children screamin'
Why surely madam you must be dreamin'
You couldn't have done this if you knew what you were doin'
Well the gold fish 'n the bowl lay upside down bloatin'
Full in the sky 'n the plains were bleached white with skeletons
Various species grouped together according
To their past beliefs
The only way they ever all got together was
Not in love but shameful grief
It's not the way I'd like it t' get together
That's not the kind uh thoughts I'd like t' keep
The rain played lightly down down on the formaheap
O' lady look up in time o' lady look out of love
'n you should have us all
O' you should have us fall
-Captain Beefheart, Song:Bill's Corpse, Album:Trout Mask Replica
I love those lyrics. That entire album is a lyrical goldmine, as well as a musical one.
-
Stutter step to the beat of a disparaged lover.
Dumb and pulsing we've become.
The bedroom door is an old black lung.
It's arrhythmic.
Uninviting and pliable.
With the noble irreverence of shrapnel she came for us.
Bore into our heads and found thoughtlessness.
Never minded the faithless courage of shame or the bravery of oblivion.
-every time i die - kill the music
-
This is what I give you
Rooftops with secret views
Fire escapes lead us to heaven
Train yards where we hide together
Nighttime’s our security
The stars watch us like guardian angels
Take these letters from an old sign
Now you got your inititals
~"Holy Names" by Pretty Girls Make Graves
I am kissing my first kiss
I am wishing my first wish
In my life we had such fun
You and me, we’re the only ones
We are sneaking out ‘til dawn
Out across the neighbor’s lawn
Smell of grass and cigarettes
Pirouettes around our heads
Oh, what did we know?
We were just sixteen and pretty
Oh, God only knows
I was just like any other boy
Oh-o-o
Staring through the window glass
I took your photograph
With my reflection looking back
Memories in white and black
Oh, what did we know?
We were just sixteen and pretty
Oh, God only knows
I was just like any other boy
Oh-o-o
Oh-o-o
I am kissing my first kiss
I am wishing my first wish
In my life we had such fun
You and me, we’re the only ones
You and me, we’re the only ones
You and me, we’re the only ones
You and me, we’re the only ones

"I LIKE PANDA PANDA PANDA PANDA PAN- PANDA!"
I really do love that song.
-
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
And you are young, and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same, in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught
Or half a page of scribbled rhymes
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over
Thought I'd something more to say
Pink Floyd, "Time"

"what else could i say?

-THE GREAT KURT COBAIN
"And I swear that I don't have a gun" is, in hindsight, a painfully ironic lyric.
-
Yeah, that was it - that was the Jupiter crash,
Drawn too close and gone in a flash,
Just a few bruises in the region of the splash;
She left to the sound of the sea.
She just drifted away from me.
Yeah, so much for gravity.
-- The Cure, Jupiter Crash.
If I had three lives, I'd marry her in two,
I'm dreaming of a time that we sit when the music stops.
She has an aversion to conviction,
She's more confused than ever,
Won't pay her fines and wonders when the cops will get her,
She calls her dog the Bear,
And walks me with him to the corner in her pyjamas.
-- The Whitlams, Melbourne.
Whomsoever I've cured, I've sickened now,
Whomsoever I've cradled, I've put you down,
I'm a search-light soul they say,
But I can't see it in the night,
I'm only faking when I get it right,
'Cause I fell on black days.
-- Soundgarden, Fell On Black Days
-
When was it that you lost your youth or traded it
For something more for them to use, so jaded
Why is it that you never said
I love you more than just a friend
I pray this gridlock never ends
And when we get there just depends
I found out recently that you are leaving
For good I hope, I softly tell my ceiling
It's better now to be alive
Sleeping is my 9 to 5
I'm having nightmares all the time
Of running out of words that rhyme
Everything that you could never say
Would never matter anyway
I took a hammer and two nails to my eardrums long ago
Before that steak knife took my eyes
I looked up to the sky
For the last thing I would ever see
For the last time I'd cry
When was it that you sold your life or wasted
Every bite of that small slice you never tasted
I guess I should be one to talk
There's nights that I can't even walk
There's days I couldn't give a fuck
And in between is where I'm stuck
From blocks away I heard somebody screaming
That small child inside of you that you left bleeding
You stabbed him up not once but twice
Cubicles will now suffice
Some say it's the roll of the dice
I think they're wrong I know I'm right
Every breath that I could barely breathe
Could barely make it past my teeth
I took a blowtorch to both of my lungs a long long time ago
Every step that I could take
Every one more difficult to make
Mr. Chainsaw came and took my legs a long, long time ago
In case you're wondering
I'm singing about growing up about giving in
In case you're wondering we're singing about growing up
About giving up and giving in
Alkaline Trio - Mr. Chainsaw

"When we are younger
oh, our hearts are so much bolder.
Oh, the pressure's not as great.

Okay, actually, best lyrics ever. You cannot beat them:
Cryptic Wintermoon - Supersatan
I am here back from the dead to paint the world with blood red.
Watch out the hell in my eyes, when I take the harvest with my scythe...
Bringing fire as I ride, I will send bombs out in the night!
Listen what I have to tell, 'cause I wish you fucking HELL.
It won't be nice to meet up with me.
'Cause all I wanna do, IS TO FISTFUCK YOU!
I am the Supersatan! Big block instead of balls.
Your fear is gasoline for my supernatural death machine!
I am the racing HATE! 6! 6! 6! My license plate.
...SO FUCK YOU ALL!
I'm coming round to Satanise...to SLAUGHTER and to PULVERIZE...
YEAH! I'm coming round.
I guess you do not really love me...
But riding with the evil gives me pleasure too!
I am the loving darkness, that sweetly embraces your SOUL!
THAT SWEETLY EMBRACES YOUR SOUL!
*Fucking solo*
Racing with the hand of doom will be very cool...
Hey little MOTHERFUCKER! I will make you a fool.
I am the Supersatan. Your fear is gasoline.
Not weapons kill me, BUT I FUCK YOU!
-
And on a lighter note:
Oh, well imagine; as I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor,
and I can't help but to hear, no I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words:
"What a beautiful wedding, what a beautiful wedding!" says the bridesmaid to a waiter.
"Yes, but what a shame, what a shame, the poor groom's bride is a whore."
I chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
I'd chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of...
Well in fact well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved! Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne!
Oh! Well in fact well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved! Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne, pour the champagne!
Panic! at the disco - I write sins not tragedies. I think this song is pretty awesome right about now.

If I should die this very moment
I wouldn't fear
For I've never known completeness
Like being here
Wrapped in the warmth of you
Loving every breath of you
Still my heart this moment
Or it might burst
Could we stay right here
Until the end of time... Until the earth stops turning
Wanna love you until the seas run dry
I've found the one I've waited for
All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace, here my heart knows calm...
Safe in your soul, bathed in your sighs
Lamb - Gorecki
I've been to Hong Kong
And South Dakota
In a little wood plane
Without a motor
Got a girl in bed
When I took it further
Where, Jamaica?

We die for pleasure
We kill for fun
We give you children
But we won't make you come

And I never made the first team
I just made the first team laugh
And she never came to the phone
She was always in the bath
In the end it took me a dictionary
To find out the meaning of unrequited
While she was giving her self for free
At a party to which I was never invited

"I am indecent, I am unfocused, I am forgettable.
I am a punchline, I am a leper, I am the woman of your dreams."
"Rosaries and sacraments are like lovebites and razorlines or like badly written movies stuck on repeat, repeat, repeat. They violate me."

By the turnstile beckons a damsel fair,
The face of Melinda neath blackened hair,
No joy would flicker in her eyes,
Brooding sadness came to a rise.
Words would falter to atone,
Failure had passed the stepping stone,
She had sworn her vows to another,
This is when no-one would bother.
And conceded pain in crumbling mirth,
A harlot of God upon the earth,
Found where she sacrificed her ways,
That hollow love in her face.
Still I plotted to have her back,
The contentment that would fill the crack,
My soul released a fluttering sigh,
This day fell,the darkness nigh.
I took her by the hand to say,
All faith forever has been washed away,
I returned for you in great dismay,
Come away with me,far away to stay.
Endlessly gazing in nocturnal prime,
She spoke of her vices and broke the rhyme,
But baffled herself with the final line,
My promise is made,but my heart is thine. -Opeth,Face Of Melinda

I don't have much to offer
or anything at all
I look like death warmed over
you're like a living doll
Okay, I may be the worst that you have seen
But I'm King Dork and I want you to be my Queen, e-een, e-een, whoa-o
I'm King Dork and I want you to be my Queen
You're too dear to put a price on
and when I talk to you
You're more than Monty Python
Star Trek or Dr. Who
You're much more than
MST3K or D&D yeah
I'm King Dork and I want you to be with me, e-ee, e-ee, whoa-o
I'm King Dork and I want you to be with me-e-e-e-e.
Once you get used to it
Maybe you can love me just a little bit
Would that be, such a catastrophe?
So don't start screaming yet
Just lower your standards and get set
Whatever it takes, however it has to be
Those other girls can't stand me
There's none as fair as you
But if they see you and me
It might embarass you
So we'll go where they will never see you
I'm King Dork and I want you to be with me, e-ee, e-ee, whoa-o
I'm King Dork and I want you to be my
I'm King Dork and I want you to be my
I'm King Dork and I want you to be my Queen

and love is a tired symphony
you hum when you're awake
and love is a crying baby
mama warned you not to shake
and love's the best sensation
hiding in the lion's mane
--iron + wine, the lion's mane
true love is a rose that i guess(?)
is locked to get closed
maybe just to me
my heart’s been attacked
shattered by tough love, bad love
i bought mine off the street
true love man just can’t be beat
-- elliott smith, true love
i'm surprised that i only saw one e smith in here berfore... he's incredible

WHACK FOR MY DADDY-OOOOOO
THERE'S WHISKEY IN THE JAR-O
It's a shame nobody really pays attention to Thin Lizzy aside from The Boys are Back in Town.

i saw her at the party pit. she was shaky but still trying to shake it.
half naked and three quarters wasted.
she was completely alone.
i saw him at the riverbank. he was breaking bread and giving thanks.
with crosses made of pipes and planks. leaned up against the nitrous tanks.
he said take a hit. hold your breath and i'll dunk your head.
then when you wake up again. you'll be high as hell and born again.
there's strings attached to every single lover.

WHACK FOR MY DADDY-OOOOOO
THERE'S WHISKEY IN THE JAR-O
It's a shame nobody really pays attention to Thin Lizzy aside from The Boys are Back in Town.
The best Thin Lizzy song is clearly Emerald.
"Down from the glen came the marching men
With their shields and their swords
To fight the fight they believed to be right
Overthrow the overlords
To the town where there was plenty
They brought plunder, swords and flame
When they left the town was empty
Children would never play again
From their graves I heard the fallen
Above the battle cry
By that bridge near the border
There were many more to die
Then onward over the mountain
And outward towards the sea
They had come to claim the Emerald
Without it they could not leave!"

who's seen jezebel?
she was born to be the woman i would know
and hold like the breeze
half as tight as both our eyes closed
who's seen jezebel?
she went walking where the cedars line the road
her blouse on the ground
where the dogs were hungry, roaming
saying, "wait, we swear
we'll love you more and wholly
jezebel, it's we, we that you are for
only"
who's seen jezebel?
she was born to be the woman we could blame
make me a beast half as brave
i'd be the same
who's seen jezebel?
she was gone before i ever got to say
"lay here my love
you're the only shape i'll pray to, jezebel"
who's seen jezebel?
will the mountain last as long as i can wait
wait like the dawn
how it aches to meet the day
who's seen jezebel?
she was certainly the spark for all i've done
the window was wide
she could see the dogs come running
saying, "wait, we swear
we'll love you more and wholly
jezebel, it's we, we that you are for
only"

You know, for a forum that is supposed to slaver over the tired canon of indie rock, I'm mightily surprised no-one in this thread mentioned...
"What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
What a beautiful dream
That could flash on the screen
In a blink of an eye and be gone from me
Soft and sweet
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me
And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see
Love to be
In the arms of all I'm keeping here with me
What a curious life we have found here tonight
There is music that sounds from the street
There are lights in the clouds
Anna's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
Soft and sweet
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees
Now how I remember you
How I would push my fingers through
Your mouth to make those muscles move
That made your voice so smooth and sweet
And now we keep where we don't know
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
With one you loved so long ago
Now he don't even know his name
What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
And when we meet on a cloud
I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all"

Lyrics to Jezebel by Iron & Wine
I love that song. I've had it stuck in my head for a week or so now.
