Members bassgirl9 Posted October 4, 2006 Members Share Posted October 4, 2006 You're walking down the street.It's a grey and drizzly day. I've seen you pass a million timesyou always look the same way. Away from me away from you.Away from everything we hate to do. I can smell your coffee It lingers on your breath.The day unfolds and we stepon the pavement towards our death. Away from me away from you away from everything we have to do. BridgeThe papers fly as we collide and twist and turn within our livesand everything we hate to do, we send it back and then it's through.Time again to drop our headsclose our eyes, pretend we're dead. You're walking down the streetend of a another drizzly dayYou've seen me pass a million timeswe always look the same way. We always look the same way.We always look the same. I'm in the Rockabilly scene now, so my dullish poetry doesn't go very far. I have to sing about chicks cars and murder. I wouldn't mind writing lyrics for other peoples bands. PM if this does anything for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members B-Bottom Posted October 4, 2006 Members Share Posted October 4, 2006 I like to write about robots and cool stuff like that. Feelings are for pussies. Unless you're talking about the feeling of metal hands tightening around your throat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM if this does anything for you. well that's not bad, but we write pretty happy music... i dont think it would really fit our style. anything depressing isnt really what we're going for--- do you have anything funny, or exciting, reflective, reminiscent of old times, sarcastic, etc? or it can even be cynical or negative, as long as it's not depressing or political Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could find a you tube for the song 10001110101. Oh well burning beard will have to do burning beard Every day I wake up we drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN Every day I wake up to a bowl of clover honey and let the locusts fly in. Lobsterbacks attack the town again Wrap all my things in aluminum Beams of darkness streak across the sky Pink rays from the ancient satellite Every time I look out my window same three dogs looking back at me. Every time I open my windows cranes fly in to terrorize me. The power of the Holy Ghost The power of the Holy Ghost Shadow of the New Praetorian Tipping cows in fields Elysian Saturnalia for all you have The seven habits of the highly infected calve Swan diving off the tongues of crippled giants International Business Machine Choking on bits of barley bread crumbs Oh this burning beard I have come undone.

Unless you're talking about the feeling of metal hands tightening around your throat. I think that the ultimate would be a song about robotic zombie pirate dinosaurs in space. The Dinobots are a good first approximation, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fireball_73 Posted October 5, 2006 Members Share Posted October 5, 2006 I'll give $5 to the first guy who actually works out what this song I wrote is about! Io An imperfect sphere, So close to what we know, An imperfect sphere, The seed, to learn as we grow Run, young Io.
