My mamma wants to know Where I'm spending all my dough Honey, all she does is nag, nag, nag But I won't apologise I'd inject into my eyes If there was nowhere else to stick my skag All I want is brown And I'm going into town Shooting up as soon as I'm back My friends have got some good shit All I want is some of it Gimme, gimme, gimme that smack Well I've ruined nearly all of my veins Sticking that fucking shit into my arms Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Givin' up, givin' up givin' a fuck Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Givin' up, givin' up givin' a fuck Getting off my face There's a dragon I must chase Honey, I'm the scourge of all mankind And everyone but me Is destined just to be Slaves to the remorseless grind But I found myself an easy way out Sticking that fucking shit into my arms Into my arms Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Givin' up, givin' up givin' a fuck Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Givin' up, givin' up givin' a fuck Title: Re: What/Wich song(s) has the greatest lyrics ever? Post by: T_Roxie on October 24, 2006, 02:19:59 PM Not my fav. song, but I love these lyrics,
"Sometimes I wanna kill sometimes I wanna die sometimes I wanna destroy sometimes I wanna cry Sometimes I could get even sometimes I could give up sometimes I could give sometimes I never give a fuck" Title: Re: What/Wich song(s) has the greatest lyrics ever? Post by: Rocksteady on October 24, 2006, 04:10:53 PM Yeah "Don't Damn Me" has great lyrics! But there are really too many great songs with great lyrics so I possibly couldn't pick just one, or even five or ten for that matter! It's not only the lyrics but the delivery of them is also what's important "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me x13" is a good example.
Title: Re: What/Wich song(s) has the greatest lyrics ever? Post by: IzzyDutch on October 25, 2006, 01:51:18 PM Dust N' Bones is of my favs.. it's got everything from great music, laidback rhythm, catchy riff and cool solos till great lyrics which are cool, funny but also deep at the same time.
He lost his mind today He left it out back on the highway On "65" She loved him yesterday Yesterday's over I said okay That's all right Time moves on That's the way We live an hope to see the next day That's all right Sometimes these things they are so easy Sometimes these things they are so cold Sometimes these things just seem to rip you right in two Oh no man don't let 'em get ta you She loved him yesterday He laid her sister She said O.K. And that's all right Buried her things today Way back out deep Behind the driveway And that's all right Sometimes these women are so easy Sometimes these women are so cold Sometimes these women seem to rip you right in two Only if you let 'em get to you Ya get out on your own And you take all that you own And you forget about your home And then you're just fuckin' gone There's no logic here today Do as you got to, go your own way I said that's right Time's short your life's your own And in the end We are just Dust n' bones Title: Re: What/Wich song(s) has the greatest lyrics ever? Post by: Jim on October 25, 2006, 02:20:56 PM I mean, it may not be the best of writing all the time, but in as far as capturing a moment in a lot of peoples life, not just a period of time, in part self examination and the feeling of youth, you can take anything from The Who's Quadrophenia and it will blow you away.
I've had enough of dancehalls, I've had enough of pills, I've had enough of streetfights, I've seen my share of kills. I'm finished with the fashions, And acting like I'm tough, I'm bored with hate and passion, I've had enough of trying to love. 'I've Had Enough.' Zoot suit, white jacket with side vents Five inches long. I'm out on the street again And I'm leaping along. I'm dressed right for a beach fight, But I just can't explain Why that uncertain feeling is still Here in my brain. 'Cut My Hair.' I have to be careful not to preach I can't pretend that I can teach, And yet I've lived your future out By pounding stages like a clown. And on the dance floor broken glass, The bloody faces slowly pass, The broken seats in empty rows, It all belongs to me you know. 'The Punk and the Godfather.' The beach is a place where a man can feel He's the only soul in the world that's real. 'Bell Boy.' Only love Can bring the rain That makes you yearn to the sky. Only love Can bring the rain That falls like tears from on high. 'Love Reign O'er Me.' I guess it also helps that it is one of the best vocally recorded albums ever, but then again so are most Who albums. : ok: Title: Re: What/Wich song(s) has the greatest lyrics ever? Post by: pasnow on October 25, 2006, 03:18:09 PM I might get slammed for this but I think The Killers "Mr Brightside" is well written lyrically.. Not the best all-time, just a good recent example.
Nice point on "Rage" Rocksteady. : ok: Title: Re: What/Wich song(s) has the greatest lyrics ever? Post by: sandman on October 25, 2006, 04:19:56 PM the lyrics to Simple Man are among my favorites.
Simple Man (by Ronnie Van Zant and Gary Rossington) Mama told me when I was young Come sit beside me, my only son And listen closely to what I say. And if you do this It will help you some sunny day. Take your time... don?t live too fast, Troubles will come and they will pass. Go find a woman and you?ll find love, And don?t forget son, There is someone up above. And be a simple kind of man. Be something you love and understand. Be a simple kind of man. Won?t you do this for me son, If you can? Forget your lust for the rich man?s gold All that you need is in your soul, And you can do this if you try. All that I want for you my son, Is to be satisfied. Boy, don?t you worry... you?ll find yourself. Follow you heart and nothing else. And you can do this if you try. All I want for you my son, Is to be satisfied. Title: Re: What/Wich song(s) has the greatest lyrics ever? Post by: Chris Axl on October 26, 2006, 12:02:33 PM IMO Estranged is the best song ever, and will ever be, written!
Also the lyrics to Madagasvar is beyond perfect Title: Re: What/Wich song(s) has the greatest lyrics ever? Post by: Mauve_All on October 28, 2006, 08:23:15 AM The Spy
I'm a spy in the house of love. I know the dream, that you're dreamin' of. I know the words that you long to hear. I know your deepest, secret fear. I'm a spy in the house of love. I know the dream, that you're dreamin' of. I know the words that you long to hear. I know your deepest, secret fear. I know ev'rything. Ev'rything you do. Ev'rywhere you go. Ev'ryone you know. I'm a spy in the house of love. by The Doors (of course) Title: Re: What/Wich song(s) has the greatest lyrics ever?
