Members Mike Fresh Posted June 22, 2002 Members Share Posted June 22, 2002 incubus - The Warmth (it was on Make Yourself, made in 99, so it's in the 90's ) I'd like to close my eyes and go numb but there's a cold wind coming from the top of the highest high-rise today. It's not a breeze cause' it blows hard. Yes and it wants me to discard the humanity I know, watch the warmth blow away. Do you think I should adhere to that pressing new frontier? And leave in my wake a trail of fear? Or should I hold my head up high and throw a wrench and spokes by leaving the air behind me clear? Don't let the world bring you down. Not everyone here is that {censored}ed up and cold. Remember why you came and while you're alive experience the warmth before you grow old.

Members Supernes Posted June 22, 2002 Members Share Posted June 22, 2002 Dashboard confessional - brillant dance i love this guys lyrics sooo much! "so this is odd a painfull realisation that all has gone wrong andnobody cares at all so you buried all your lovers clothes and burnt the letters lover wrotebut it doesnt make it any betterdoes it make it any betterand the plaster dented from your fist in the hall where you had your first kiss reminds you that the memories will fade so this is strangea side stepping has come to be a brillant dance where no body leads at all and the picture frames are facing downand the ringing from this empty soundis defening and keeping you from sleepand breathing is a foreign task and thinkings just too much to askand your mesuring your minutes by a clock thats blink eights well this is incredible starving insatiableyes this is love for the first timewell you liked to think that you were invincible well wernt we all once before we felt loss for the first timewell this is the last timethis is the last timethis is the last time " i think one of the best things about the song is the way he repeats "this is the last time" several times over at the end implying that though everytime you think its the last time its going to happen again and again ...well atleast thats what i read from it Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rocinante Posted June 22, 2002 Members Share Posted June 22, 2002 'VINTAGE WHINE' - SKYCLAD I'll play Bacchus for the evening,Pray, be seated, take your placesShould my manna seem displeasing,Offend your airs and graces,I've a list long as your arm,(The connoisseur's selection)Such bitter whines -a quaff of qualms,Awaiting your inspection The bubbles burst - this ain't sham-painI've watched hopes wither on the vineThe fruits of labours toiled in vainI reap sour grapes at harvest time. Anno 1999 - a classic year for Vintage Whine. CHORUS : Since it's drawn - I must sup the cellarage of sorrowYet fate refills my tarnished cup each time I drain the dregsTheir poison cannot kill me - new strength from it I'll borrowMy maudlin is a caudle that would fill a thousand kegs Here's one for the road - afore ye goDrink deep sweet lads and lassesThose blighted crops you gladly sowShall one day fill your glassesBrood for decades - pure hate distilledThen bottled up much longerRevenge - a draught I'll serve you chilled,When time has made it stronger Non-cordial - it's bile bouquetLaments ferment the patience schnappsCask full of mulled futile dismayMy well-aged-rage - you 've turned the taps Anno 1999 - a classic year for Vintage Whine Since it's drawn - I must sup the cellarage of sorrowYet fate refills my tarnished cup each time I drain the dregsTheir poison cannot kill me - new strength from it iI'll borrowMy maudlin is a caudle that would fill a thousand kegs Anno 1999 - a classic year for Vintage Whine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blameshifter Posted June 24, 2002 Members Share Posted June 24, 2002 I guess not too many people are really going to identify this artist as a 90's touchstone but he did put out about a zillion albums during the decade. I'm talking about John Darnielle; aka the Mountain Goats. In my opinion, the finest lyricist I've yet encountered. To truly understand their beauty one has to hear them married to the actual music but I'll post a few choice offerings from his 90's catelog. Elijah streak the windows.smear the walls with coconut oil, yeah.fill a cast iron kettle with water and magnolia blossom.let it boil. let the water roll.let the fire take its toll.i'm coming home.i'm coming home. dust off the idols.give them something to eat.i think they're hungry.i know i'm starving half to death. i know you're waiting.i know you've been waiting for a long long time.and i'm coming home.i'm coming home. set the table.those three extra places -- one for me,one for your doubts,and one for god. let the incense burn in every room.feel the fullness of time in the empty tomb.feel the future kicking in your womb.i'm coming home.i'm coming home. Weekend in Western Illinois the land's opening up like a blanket,and the dandelions spread themselves thickly outalong the fields, which are, evidently, endless;and we are hotly in love with one another.we've got an unquenchable thirst in our throats.we are, for some reason, all the time, bleeding,and we are friendless. but we love these dogs that roll on the lawns here in galesburg --because they seem to know something nobody else knows.it is written on the smiles on their faces,and it rings in their high young voicesand we are burning up all of our choices up herewhere the tall grass grows, up here in galesburg. the sky's opening up like an old wound,and the rain on our bodies is warm tonightand the ground underneath us shakes in the cracking thunder.and we can taste fresh blood in our mouths again:there is no chance of getting enough of it,and we tally up all our possessions, and we're going under. but we love these dogs that loll in the rain here in galesburgas the new season rocks them in its terrible arms.yeah they howl as though the world were ending,and we are watching the sky unwindingand some of our promises were binding up here where our dreams take formup here in galesburg.

Members RIFFMASTER Posted June 25, 2002 Members Share Posted June 25, 2002 THE DAY I TRIED TO LIVE I woke the same as any other dayExcept a voice was in my headIt said seize the day, pull the triggerDrop the blade, and watch the rolling heads The day I tried to liveI stole a thousand beggar's changeAnd gave it to the rich The day I tried to winI dangled from the power linesAnd let the martyrs stretchSinging One more time around might do itOne more time around might make itOne more time around might do itOne more time aroundThe day I tried to live Words you say never seemTo live up to the ones inside your headThe lives we make never seemTo ever get us anywhere but dead The day I tried to liveI wallowed in the blood and mud withAll the other pigs I woke the same as any other day you knowI should have stayed in bed The day I tried to winI wallowed in the blood and mud withAll the other pigs And I learned that I was a liarJust like you Music: Cornell Lyrics: Cornell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jbh Posted June 25, 2002 Members Share Posted June 25, 2002 Toss up between Soundgarden and Afghan Whigs. Since noone ever mentions Afghan Whigs on this forum, here's a song from them Now You Know - Dulli Since you're aware of the consequences I can pimp what's left of this wreck on you Bit into a rotten one, now didn't you? Now I can watch you chew Did you have blinders on my dear Or were you just willing? Or was I unaware of the damage a lie can do? I thought you knew Listen up Drive it off Punctuate it with a smoker's cough Light it up Stick around I told you somebody's going down now Spit it up Get it out Let me kiss that beautiful mouth Tell me is it the same? My sweetness, my everything And is this condescending a comfort at all to you? We bit into a rotten one Now didn't we? Well, baby now it's through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wayrockin1 Posted June 25, 2002 Members Share Posted June 25, 2002 In the 90's I didn't care much for most of the rock that was out, so some of my faves are 'New York Minute' by Don Henley, '455 Rocket' recorded by Kathy Mattea (don't know who wrote it) or 'Walking On The Sun' by Smashmouth.
