Lyrics a la Mode

[Derek Dragomir]

Got any song lyrics you think were well written? Either yours or someone else's? Why not share them here? Feel free to explain why you like them too.

Just for aesthetics sake try following this posting format:

"La, la, la, la, lyrics, lyrics, la, la, la, DERP!" - I'm Herpa-Derping for You, le Derpingtons

This line is great because it's so derptastic. Say derp one more time!

[McDuffies]

Here are some of my favourite lyrics:

The burdens that you carry now
Are not of your creation
So let's not weep about their evil deeds
But for their lack of imagination

Today is the time for courage babe
Tomorrow can be for forgiving
So if he touches you again with his stupid hand
His life won't be worth living

By Nick Cave who, obviously, has more complex and probably better lyrics than that, I guess it's the simplicity that hits me, the ability to evoke some pretty fascinating images and thoughts while talking about topic as prosaic as love.

[McDuffies]

I'd also like to post this bit of great poetry that a spammer posted a bit ago.

*bumbling babble of fish oil crap*

Ack! Did you really have to post that whole thing? It's enough that we had a frickin quadruple post of Fish Oil SPAM this morning. I think that scarred me.

Don't think I won't do it. I'm an attention whore around these parts. It may not be good, but it will exist.

[Mo]

Heh McDuffies, remember this one?

"Cekaj me..."

I can't remember the rest.

[McDuffies]

Heheh, yeah, that was lovely. I wrote so many new songs in the meantime, those old ones are collecting dust.
But yeah, posting my lyrics would do no good to anyone around here.

It's kinda cool though. It's got a certain rhythm but repeating words constantly punctuate different parts of the phrase, it's almost like polyrhythm.

...okay.

Best line I've heard in a song yet...
"Rent your wife and kids today".

[robotthepirate]

The Newsboys are pretty good for clever lyrics in some of their songs, one of my favourites is Belly of the Whale, about Jonah

The first chorus goes:

Up to my ears
In bitter tears.
Can't believe I've sunk this low
As I walk the plankton
Inner sanctum.
Got outta Dodge,
Sailed on a bon-less
Bon voyage.
You said North,
I headed South.
Tossed overboard.
Good Lord, that's a really large mouth...

And the second verse goes

Woke up this morning kinda blue,
Thinking through that age-old question:
How to exit a whale's digestion?
It might behoove me to be heaved.
Head out like a human comet.
(Hmm... I wonder what rhymes with comet?)

awwe I thought this was a Depeche Mode Thread

My wife didn't like the idea of having Enjoy The Silence on the reception playlist what with the whole "Vows are spoken, to be broken" bit. I told her that wasn't the point it was trying to get across but...
Anyway it didn't matter because after hours~ of putting the cd together at the last minute the computer broke and we ended up playing my dad's Abba cd.

Well... that guy who played the woman he was trying to woo "Roxane" didn't mean it that way either.

Had Stripped sang to me last night... which was one part interesting. I tend to always be the one who who sings Depeche Mode.

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone

Metropolis
Has nothing on this
You're breathing in fumes
I taste when we kiss

I am feeling very assemblege 23 today, though I haven't listened to any today. strange.

Cracks in the chrysalis spread out like tiny snakes
That hiss a litany of rumors and mistakes
But I'm afraid their cause is fraught with futility
There is nothing more that they can take from me

It opens all the scars on me
It leaves me shaken in my belief
It takes my hand just to drag me down
It makes me a stranger in the crowd

Give me isolation just for now
I feel a hard rain coming down
I promise that I will be back soon
But for now I'll return to my cocoon

And when were talking about awesome lyrics, and really just proof in concept type songs, it doesn't get more awesome than 'Sounds of Silence'

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turn my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

strangely, I'm not really much of a lyrics guy, I usually notice them after loving a song for a while. How did I ever get so obsessed with Morrissey and the Smiths is anyone's guess.

[McDuffies]

Anyhow - I sat by your side, by the water
You taught me the names of the stars overhead that I wrote down in my ledger
Though all I knew of the rote universe were those pleiades loosed in december
I promised you I‘d set them to verse so I'd always remember

That the meteorite is a source of the light
And the meteor's just what we see
And the meteoroid is a stone that's devoid
of the fire that propelled it to thee

And the meteorite's just what causes the light
And the meteor's how it's perceived
And the meteoroid's a bone thrown from the void
that lies quiet in offering to thee
