Members electricmel Posted June 13, 2002 Members Share Posted June 13, 2002 To the guy who posted Ministry lyrics, how about this... "Anal {censored}fest, Drill Olympics..." from Burning Inside That one always got us back in the three foot bong/double dipped hits of Porky Pig acid days. Here is a gem - "A wrinkled rose snapped back, And the flies on flowers spreading out, To all sickness and humanity. Listen to our Queen as she is offering free samples - Of her lovely garden spoils." -Jane Of The Waking Universe, -Robert Pollard, -Guided By Voices Or my favorite, actually - "Heeeeeeeeeeeeeroooooooooooooiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnn......................It's my wife.........and it's my life" - Lou Reed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Osmosis Posted June 13, 2002 Members Share Posted June 13, 2002 Indiscipline--King Crimson I do remember one thing. It took hours and hours... by the time I was done with it, I was so involved, I didn't know what to think. I carried it around with me for days and days.. playing little games... like not looking at it for a whole day and then.. looking at it. to see if I still liked it. I did. I repeat myself when under stress. I repeat myself when under stress. I repeat myself when under stress. I repeat myself when under stress. I repeat.. The more I look at it, the more I like it. I do think it's good. The fact is.. no matter how closely I study it, no matter how I take it apart, no matter how I break it down, It remains consistent. I wish you were here to see it! I like it!

It is actually paper boy: In other words:Pictures of people on newspapers that has been delivered by a paper boy. In Britain all the front doors have holes in them where the mail and newspapers are delivered. Once they have passed through the hole, they just fall to the floor. Hence "the paper holds their folded faces to the floor".

Members tankgod Posted June 17, 2002 Members Share Posted June 17, 2002 Go ahead and bash away but Don Henley can turn a great phrase. "Same dancers in the same old shoes, You get too careful with the steps you choose. You dont care about winning but you dont want to lose After the thrill is gone... The flame rises but it soon decends, Empty pages and a frozen pen. Your not quite lovers and your not quite friends, After the thrill is gone....."

Members Rabman Posted June 18, 2002 Members Share Posted June 18, 2002 Did you exchange a walk on part in a war for a lead role in a cage. Don't know why, but this verse really caught me. Another one that grabbed me is from an old Daryl Hall and John Oates album "War Babies" the song is 70's Scenario. And I laugh and I say that's alright Things really ain't that tough as long I'm still able to turn the TV off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lurid Posted June 20, 2002 Members Share Posted June 20, 2002 Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity. Calculate what we will or will not tolerate. Desperate to control all and everything. Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen. Clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down. Justify denials and grip 'em to the lonesome end. Clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down. Terrified of being wrong. Ultimatum prison cell. Saturn ascends, choose one or ten. Hang on or be humbled again. Clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down. Justify denials and grip 'em to the lonesome end. Saturn ascends, comes 'round again. Saturn ascends, the one, the ten, ignorant to the damage done. Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity. Calculate what you will or will not tolerate. Desperate to control all and everything. Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen. Wear the grudge like a crown. Desperate to control. Unable to forgive. And we're sinking deeper. Defining, confining, sinking deeper. Controlling, defining, and we're sinking deeper.

Saturn comes back around. Lifts you up like a child or Drags you down like a stone to Consume you till you choose to let this go. Choose to let this go. Give away the stone.

Members 6String Diablo Posted June 20, 2002 Members Share Posted June 20, 2002 It's time you songwriting gurus were acquainted with the great Martin Walkyier (ex-Sabbat, ex-Skyclad)... Youth of our nation - A lost generation Like lepers we march to the chimes of Big Ben. Exiled and rejected by powers elected Our cries from the gutter don't reach number ten. Give us this day our daily bread Before the headlines read "bring out your dead." Chip-wrapper flowers are blown onto this cardboard grave My spray paint epitaph upon the wall it says... "Here lies the bones of some poor homeless vagrant He died as he lived, in the {censored} on the pavement." -Skyclad, Cardboard City [this next one here is dedicated to my man Wes Powell: ] Commercial suicide's appealing after ten years on this losing streak. 'Cause I'd rather be called sour and bitter than be deemed the flavour of the 'weak'. -Skyclad, Penny Dreadful I've wandered far (I've wondered hard) And have one source of comfort only - When I share my thoughts with you Mortality is not so lonely. Countless starts between us - Myriad the things I miss, I say farewell and think of home The static drowns my parting kiss. Planet Earth is great to visit - It's great to visit (but you wouldn't want to live there.) And as your signal slowly wanes - the fears return (my growing pains), here it is for what it's worth - yet another postcard from planet Earth. -Skyclad, Postcard From Planet Earth The curtain never falls On the show that has it all, Taken in, you can't begin to see their lies, for the people who are clapping Are the ones who will be laughing At your fate, they just can't wait to bleed you dry. -Sabbat, The Church Bizarre [and my all time fave...] Some say I bite the hand that feeds - but to these disillusioned eyes 'tis sweet revenge to watch it bleed (it has only fed me lies), The dead horses you were flogging could not rise and stand upon its legs, Behold the leper-minstrel has been cured and nevermore shall beg. -Skyclad, The Sky Beneath My Feet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
