Lyrics That Are Pretty Awesome!
« Reply #50 on: 26 Apr 2006, 12:06 »
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
Mr. T Experience - King Dork

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.

My other favorite from The Hold Steady (Craig Finn is schweet yams):

"Mary's got a bloody nose from sniffing margarita mix. She licked her lower lip and then she kissed that Halleluiah chick. She came off kind of spicy but she tasted like those pickle chips."

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"
