Smartest lyric you ever heard.

[mcflytrap]

Steve Taylor is a master:

 

Ah, the news of my impending death

Came at a really bad time for me

I was far too young to depreciate

When they read my expiration date

I'd built iron man stalls in the northern wild

I'd played cabage patch dolls with my inner child

Now I'm getting sealed bids for a granite vault

And I'm pretty sure this is my parents' fault

 

[Wes_Powell]

There's lots of good ones. My favorites are:

 

Darkness makes you fumble for a key

To a door

That's wide open - The Police

 

Sitting on a park bench

Eyeing little girls

With bad intent - Jethro Tull

 

Find 'em

Feel 'em

F*** 'em

Forget 'em - The Mentors

[Wes_Powell]

But, the best lyric of all comments on the sad state of modern music.

 

I take the checks

And face the facts

That some producer

With computers

Fixes all my {censored}ty tracks - Ben Folds Five, Rockin the Suburbs

[SLfreak]

Dear Mother, Dear Father,

You've clipped my wings before I learned to fly,

Unspoiled, Unspoken,

I've outgrown that f@cking lullaby,

Same thing I've always heard from you,

Do as I say, not as I do

 

Dyers Eve, 'Tallica

[tramampoline]

No alarms and no suprises please.....

 

That number's by a little band I like to call Radiohead

Desiree- BY WALTER HYATT

 

Oh Desiree, for once so fair

there should be heaven and a gentle hand to take her there

To your sweet life, my sugurcane

the sweetness of the world

should come like falling rain

 

Oh Desiree, For once so young

There Should be magic words and spoken with a golden toungue.

and in her heart, that magic done

That warms and lights the day

just like the golden sun

 

Oh, desiree, when we're apart

though I can't describe the sadness that comes to my heart

to see your eyes, to hear your voice

would bring my soul to life

and make my heart rejoice

 

Oh desiree, oh desiree, oh desiree

[hood]

Deeper than love - Walter hyatt

 

Oh my dearest darling

Your on my mind tonight

now that spring is comming

and the leaves are bright

when i read your letter

i remember life

oh, no

it's deeper than love

 

that mountain music

makes me think of you

everytime i hear it

want you to hear it too

when i hear the music

i remember life

oh no

it;s deeper than love

 

it's just a simple beat of hearts

just a glove on the hand of time

It's so long we've been apart

when I remember your life I remember mine

 

oh my dearest darling

I'm no one's sweet heart now

I've left love behind me

It's never right somehow

when I read your letter

I remember life

oh no

It's deeper than love

[hood]

High hill- Champ Hood (Uncle walt's band)

 

I'm alone in my thoughts like the night wind's cry

Last night I thought i saw some love in your eyes

I was hitting pretty heavey on your gin and wine

And it's true you had been on my mind

Do you really want to know how I'm spending my time

I'm just tryin to make the best of your love

 

I'm holding on now to the potters wheel

and it's turing me so fast that I don't know what I feel

I could be on a ship at sea

with only my thoughts to burden me

I guess it all depends on where to want to be

I'm just tryin to make the best of your love

 

I live upon a high hill

Work my hand in wire and wood

and i sing like a whippoorwill

and everynight there one thing on my mind

only that you love me

until the day I die

If you love me then

you know I would not mind

 

Everything I do everything I feel

Is comming back to me in a endless reel

like a movie I don't want to see

because I knew about the man and his misery

and your the only one who remains a mystery

I'm just tryin to make the best on your love

 

I live upon a high hill

Work my hand in wire and wood

and i sing like a whippoorwill

and everynight there one thing on my mind

only that you love me

until the day I die

If you love me then

you know I would not mind

One more the Walter hyatt

 

 

"green tree"

 

In deapest oceans

and far from shore

away beneath the

resounding storm

great whales were playing

full fathom nine

where they were safe from

the whalers Line

the seasons harm

 

as children rushing

to see the fair

together wondered

in the pastures there

through spring was calling

to every heart

then dusk came falling

drew them apart

when raindrops fell

 

Why did the fragile , once seem so strong

why did forever , once seem so long

 

when words were gentle

and love was new

when i was worthy

as she was true

beneath the branches

of that green tree

the world was sweet to

my love and me

and life secure

 

Why did the fragile, once seems so strong

why did forever, once seem so long

why did the fragile, once seems so strong

why did forever, once seem so long

[Mike_E_McGee]

And you turn in disghust

From your hatred

And from your love

-Leonard Cohen

 

I love the way you expect to hear lust, but don't.

 

Hold me while I hold a grudge...

-Deep Banana Blackout

 

Grabbed a gallon

at the corner shop.

Found my Jesus

in the last few drops.

There's so much to choose from, here's a few of my favorite "smart lyrics" from Ministry.

 

 

don't follow my path to extinction

if I had a mind I'd leave it alone

we speak of liberation children, ghetto medication

like a journey to the inside of carnal-fiction

release yourself where the preditor prays

rewind your mind

freeze your world apart

 

wage war on the eye which cannot see

destroy the temple of emptyness

and what about them in the wake of damnation?

and what about us?

do we come from God?

 

--What About Us?

 

 

absolution and a frozen room

are the dreams of men below

i try to grab it but the touch is hot

the mirror collapses, but the image came not

i'm scared of the darkness in the light

i scare myself because i know i'm right

i see the evil in your savage eye

as it cuts right through the sky

burning inside! burning inside!

 

--Burning Inside

 

so what, it's your problem to learn to live with

destroy us, or make us saints

we don't care, it's not our fault that we were born too late

a screaming headache on the brow of the state

killing time is appropriate

to make a mess and {censored} all the rest, we say, we say

so what? so what?

 

--So What

[yeahmanwhatever]

"The further we go

And older we grow

The more we know

The less we show"

 

 

"10.15

Saturday night

And the tap drips

Under the strip light

And I'm sitting

In the kitchen sink

And the tap drips

Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip

 

Waiting

For the telephone to ring

And I'm wondering

Where she's been

And I'm crying

For yesterday

And the tap drips

Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip

 

It's always the same"

[LittleLam]

You can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being - Poe, "Trigger Happy Jack"

Sad as it seems _Champ Hood (uncle walt's band)

 

Sad as it seems

you'll wake and be lonely

through all the night

you'll dream of him only

I talk to you, but you don't hear me

Why can't you see

It's not as sad as it seems

 

Sad as it seems

your misery surrounds you

I can't seem to break

this silence around you

your heart won't take, this unhappy feeling

But don't feel so low

It's not as sad as it seems

 

You say you lost someone

you believe in

But why make it hard on yourself

won't you try to love again

 

Sad as it seems

he's now just a memory

You need to let go

and stop this pretending

what can i do you know that I love you

but if you can't see

then it's sad as it seems

 

If you can't see

then It's sad as it seems

[hood]

this one has really unusal metaphors and stuff which is cool

 

As the Crow Flies- Walter Hyatt

 

 

As the crow flies

you can be my baby are you ready

YOu can live in the skies

you can rise on the wings of love

As the cat moves

you can be my woman are you ready

I been sitting to long

right or wrong I'm ready to move

 

as the crow flies

as the cat moves

i'm a sad bojangles but I'm too young for livin' the blues

 

As the buck dies

you can be my lover if you hunt me

I will fall int the woods

and the arrow and the goods will be yours

As the river rolls

I will take you to the sea if you want me

I will rock you in the deeP

and sing you to sleep on the shore

 

As the crow flies

As the cat moves

as the buck dies

as the river rolls

I'm a sad bojangles but I'm too young for the livin' the blues

Some of you guys wouldn't know a good lyric if it bit you on the butt.

I recently decided to give a serious listen to Pink Floyd (finally)... So far I'm only familiar with The Wall, but I'm amazed by the whole concept of the album and how it all fits together so nicely. Very cool
