There is a reason for alot of shit in Shrek....It was directed by someone ejected from Disney. And like in Shrek 1 the castle was made surprisingly similar to the one in Disneyland, and Shrek makes the comment "think he's compensating for something?" Well...anyways, Disney is about as evil as you can get, beside well walmart...'nother topic entirely. Can't say much good for the largest childrens movie corperation that also is the largest pornographer in the world (Vivid is part of Disney.....yeah, surprised me too.)

oh wait....
i got that wrong. That wasn't on the Shrek 2 soundtrack. These 2 songs that were are slightly more cheerful:

Little Drop Of Poison
(Tom Waits/Kathleen Brennan 1997)
I like my town with a little drop of poison
Nobody knows they're lining up to go insane
I'm all alone, I smoke my friends down to the filter
But I feel much cleaner after it rains

And she left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall
She always had that little drop of poison

Did the devil make the world while God was sleeping?
There'll never get a wish from a bone
Another wrong goodbye and a hundred sailors
That deep blue sky is my home

And she left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall
She always had that little drop of poison

Well, a rat always knows when he's in with weasels
Here you lose a little every day
Well, I remember when a million was a million
They all have ways to make you pay

And she left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall
She always had that little drop of poison

And she left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall
She always had that little drop of poison



Artist: Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds Lyrics
Song: People Ain't No Good Lyrics
People just ain't no good
I think that's welll understood
You can see it everywhere you look
People just ain't no good

We were married under cherry trees
Under blossom we made pour vows
All the blossoms come sailing down
Through the streets and through the playgrounds

The sun would stream on the sheets
Awoken by the morning bird
We'd buy the Sunday newspapers
And never read a single word

People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good

Seasons came, Seasons went
The winter stripped the blossoms bare
A different tree now lines the streets
Shaking its fists in the air
The winter slammed us like a fist
The windows rattling in the gales
To which she drew the curtains
Made out of her wedding veils

People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good at all

To our love send a dozen white lilies
To our love send a coffin of wood
To our love let aal the pink-eyed pigeons coo
That people they just ain't no good
To our love send back all the letters
To our love a valentine of blood
To our love let all the jilted lovers cry
That people they just ain't no good

It ain't that in their hearts they're bad
They can comfort you, some even try
They nurse you when you're ill of health
They bury you when you go and die
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

People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good at all

Chris T-T, a local musician who specialises in social commentary in his songs did a great song about fox hunting - it starts off as this folk-ey story telling song then casually slips in a line about the rich country gentleman fucking his daughter...
I can't for the life of me remember the album it's from, but it's dark because you're not expecting it.

Also, that Bright Eyes song 'easy/lucky/free' always struck me as more of an optimistic song about death - his lyrics are never that pleasant, but I saw that as something comforting, largely because I listened to it pretty much on repeat when I lost someone..

Mountain Goats - No Children

I hope that our few remaining friends
Give up on trying to save us
I hope we come up with a failsafe 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
Yeah 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

This is pretty much the only Mountain Goats song I've ever listened to.  And goddamn is it dark as fuck.  I'm sorta scared of listening to more of this stuff, I don't know if I want to listen to an album that'll depress me as much as an album composed of songs like this undoubtedly will.

[The Eyeball Kid]

I actually find that song uplifting... its kinda anthemic. Its the way he sings it, i think. Its also the end of the Alpha Cycle, or near the end, so the Alpha Couple is breaking up... i dunno. Its pretty uplifting the way he sings it... he's just positive about hoping they die... and the Alpha Couple have been trapped in this horrible relationship through the whole song cycle.
But yeah... i can give certain Mountain Goats albums one or two listens... i had to interview him, and i think the research is part of the reason i'm so depressed now.

hmm... i have way too many Mountain Goats lyrics... let's see if i can top that. Do you want songs about dealing with an abusive father, songs about the end of a relationship, songs about black metal, or songs about obscure classical history?

hmmm... i consider all the songs that aren't about the inevitiblility of death cheerful songs, so here's a cheerful mountain goats song:


I went down to the gas station
for no particular reason
Heard the screams from the high school
It's football season

Empty lot the station faces
Will probably be there forever
I climbed over the four foot fence
I was trying to sever the tether

Moon in the sky
Cold as a stone
Spend each night in your arms
Always wake up alone

I lay down in the weeds
It was a real cold night
I was happy 'til the overnight attendant
Switched on the floodlight

Walking home I was talking to you under my breath
Saying things I would never say directly
I heard a siren on the highway up ahead
Kinda wished they'd come and get me

Frost on the sidewalk
White as a bone
Tried to get close to you again
Always wake up alone

And as I was crossing our doorstep
I hesitated just a moment there
Remembered the day we moved in to our small house
'til the vision got too vivid to bear

You were almost asleep
Halfway undressed
I lay right down next to you
held your head against my chest

And a guy with any kind of courage
would maybe stop to think the matter through
Maybe hold you still and raise the question
Instead of blindly holding onto you

But we crank up the heat
And you giggle and moan
Spend all night in the company of ghosts
Aways wake up alone

[muffy]

'Dance Music' by the mountain goats always struck me as dark but in a playful way - that guy is gifted.
