Recommended Posts

mother of all threads, right haha

 

well, here is the idea, you read the lyrics of the last post, then post some... w00t

 

ill start it off

 

NIN - SOMETHING I CAN NEVER HAVE

 

I still recall

The taste of your tears

Echoing your voice

Just like the ringing in my ears

My favorite dreams of you

Still wash ashore

Scraping through my head

'Till I don't want to sleep anymore

 

Come on tell me

You make this all go away

You make this all go away

I'm down to just one thing

And I'm starting to scare myself

You make this all go away

You make it all go away

 

I just want something

I just want something

I can never have

You always were the one

To show me how

Back then

I couldn't do the things

That I can do now

This thing

Is slowly taking me apart

Grey would be the color

If I had a heart

 

I just want something

I can never have

In this place

It seems like such a shame

Though it all looks different now,

I know it's still the same

Everywhere I look

You're all I see

Just a fading f***ing reminder

Of who I used to be

 

I just want something

I just want something

I can never have

I just want something

I can never have

Think I know what you meant

That night on my bed

Still picking at this scab

Car Thief

Beastie Boys

 

Some static started in the pool hall

Hit a motherf***er's face with the cue ball

Then I met this girl she tried to gank me

So I smacked her in the booty with a Plank Bee

Cause me and my crew were out breakin' windows

The bingo the lotto you know I'll never win those

Possession is half the law

I had my routines before all y'all

Your whole life is comin' apart at the seams

You ain't nothing but a car thief biting routines

See I'm a city slicker I ain't no townie

Right now I wish I had another hash brownie

Like Ricky always said you've got to toke and pass

Or Mookie's gonna kick your motherf***in' ass

You try to take what isn't yours like a God damn rat

"See I personally I wouldn't even wanna' go out like that"

 

I'm a writer a poet a genius I know it

I don't buy cheeba I grow it

"I'm a farmer"

People always trying to get next to me

I had a beautiful experience on ecstasy

I smoked up a bag of elephant tranquilizer

Because I had to deal with a money hungry miser

Had a caine filled Kool with my man Rush Rush

Saw my teeth fall in the sink when I started to brush

You be doing nose candy on the Bowie Coke Mirror

My girl asked for some but I pretended not to hear her

You can't deny me you always want to try me

Yo you're just gonna get your ass kicked

Homeboy throw in the towel

Your girl got dicked by Ricky Powell

The Godfather of Soul in the belly of the beast

Smokin' that dust at St. Anthony's Feast

 

All the wife beaters and all the tax cheaters

Sitting in the White House pulling their peters

Buy my cheeba from the cop down the street

The only cop with a rope chain with the walking the beat

So like a sneaky pouch time bomb tickin'

Like the beat to my rhyme just kickin'

Space cake cookies I discover who I am

I'm a dusted old bummy Hurdy Gurdy Man

Five-O caught me now I'm going to the mountains

Said good-bye to my girl my lawyers and accountants

My mind is kinda' rhymin' and I think I oughta think

So I'm rockin all the rhymes and I'll have another drink

So the lights are flashing my mind is spinning

I feel like it is always the beginning

Of another rhyme I'm rappin' MC'in' I rock

You ain't nothing but a car thief who must be stopped

The Mars Volta

 

Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt

 

 

 

You must have been phlegmatic in stature

The gates of thanos are a spread eagle wide

You let the shutters make sackcloth and ashes

Out of a blind mans picaresque heart

You take the veil

You'll take the dive

You take the veil

It's not over till the tremulant sings

These ides of march

Are they so make believe

How tempts the revenant

Slice up and not across

You take the veil

You'll take the dive

You take the veil

A mass of gallon sloth

As flys have walls for feet

A rapturous verbatim-someone said but who is to know

And when you find the fringe

The one last hit that spent you

You'll find the ossuary spilling by the day

The iconoclastic had it coming for years

They know the prisons that you have yet to fear

Where thumbs hide inside of sleepingbag mouths

Adlib your memoires by casting a drought

You take the veil

You'll take the dive

You take the veil

A mass of gallon sloth

As flys have walls for feet

A rapturous verbatim-someone said but who is to know

And when you find the fringe

The one last hit that spent you

You'll find the ossuary spilling by the day

Knife me in -hobbeling

Talking in it's sleep again

Knife me in-hobbeling

Talking in it's sleep again

Virulent hives- of bedpost piles

Virulent hives

Who brought me here

Forsaken,depraved and wrought with fear

Who turned it off

The last thing I remember now

Who brought me here

Forsaken,depraved and wrought with fear

Who turned it off

The last thing I remember now

Who brought me here

Another Postcard - Barenaked Ladies

 

You can't imagine so many monkeys in the daily mail

All of them coming anonymously so they leave no trail

I never thought I'd have an admirer from overseas

But someone is sending me stationary filled with chimpanzees.

 

Some chimps in swimsuits, some chimps are swinging from a vine

Some chimps in jackboots, some chimps that wish they could be mine.

Starsky and Hutch chimps, a chimp who's sitting on the can

A pair of Dutch chimps who send their love from Amsterdam.

 

[CHORUS (x2):]

Another postcard with chimpanzees

And every one is addressed to me.

 

If I had to guess, I'd say the monkey-sender thinks it's great

He's sending me, maybe she's sending me just to see me get irate

I'm losing sleep - and it's gonna be keeping me up all night

I thought it was funny, but now I've got money on a monkey fight.

 

Some chimps in hard hats, chimps a-working on a chain gang

Some chimps who love cats, burning rubber in a Mustang

A birthday-wishing chimp, a chimp in black like a goth

A goin' fishin' chimp, a British chimp in the bath.

 

[CHORUS (x2)]

 

Somehow they followed me even though I packed and moved my home

No matter what, they come and they come they won't leave me alone

Another monkey in the mail could make me lose my mind

But look at me shuffling through the stack until I finally find

 

Some chimps in swimsuits

Some chimps in Jackboots

Some chimps in hard hats

Some chimps who love cats

I've got some shaved chimps; that's chimps devoid of any hair

I've got depraved chimps dressed up in women's underwear.

 

Another postcard with chimpanzees

And every one is addressed to me.

Every one is, every one is, every one is addressed to me.

Every one is, every one is, every one is addressed to me.

 

[CHORUS (x4)]

 

Some chimps in swimsuits, Some chimps in Jackboots

Some chimps in hard hats, Some chimps who love cats

I've got some shaved chimps; that's chimps devoid of any hair

I've got depraved chimps dressed up in women's underwear.

Starsky and Hutch chimps, a chimp who's sitting on the can

A pair of Dutch chimps who send their love from Amsterdam.

Some chimps in Mustangs, Some chimps in chain gangs

I got a birthday wishin' chimp and I got the goin' fishin' chimp

Lil Scrappy

[Chorus]

You can get crunk in the club

Roll wit your hood

Get stomped in the club

Or you could get buck in the club

Get f***ed up in the club

But you don't want no problem (Problem)

But you don't want no problem (Problem)

But you don't want no problem with me

Cuz BME we be 50 deep

 

You don't wanna be dead in the streets

Mouth full of blood and soaked from the heat (Ooo)

Why you tryna act hard as hell

And you know damn well you don't wanna feel the shell

n**** I been down by a lot

Gun to my head, pressed dead to the wall

I got big balls and bullets like baseballs

Split ya dome, put you straight, knock out all ya'll

Hell no them boys don't play

Straight nuts to ya face

Put your pistol away

And don't weed to my head

I pray for the folks in the club gettin scared

Got a problem with that

 

[Chorus]

 

Hold em back, hold em back

Man f*** that n****

Gotta push that n****

Hold em back, hold em back

Push that n****

Hey shawty it's on

Keep poppin in my face and get popped in the dome

Learn to rush mothaf***as

It's gonna hurt

If a n**** fall

That's when s*** gets worse

The problem with you n****s is

You just talk too much

Man swang on a n**** and f*** his ass up

And you can walk on by with your nuts in a tub

I'll be your ? if you really won't get crunk

In the A we don't play them games

We just stack and slang and load up them things

Gettin buck if you wanna and catch a bow

Keep your pretty ass gull, beat your ass, and take your hoe

That right there is an attempt to kill this thread. You have dummied it down significantly. Hopefully, this one will get us back on the right track.

 

Public Enemy- "Welcome To The Terrordome" (1989)

 

I got so much trouble on my mind

Refuse to lose

Here's your ticket

Hear the drummer get wicked

The crew to you to push the back to Black

Attack so I sat and japped

Then slapped the Mac(Intosh)

Now I'm ready to mike it

(You know I like it) huh

Hear my favoritism roll "Oh"

Never be a brother like me go solo

Lazer anastasia maze ya

Ways to blaze your brain and train ya

The way I'm livin', forgiven'

What I'm givin' up

X on the flex...hit me now

I don't know about later

As for now I know how to avoid the paranoid

Man I've had it up to here

Gear I wear got 'em goin' in fear

Rhetoric said

Read just a bit ago

Not quittin' though

Signed the hard rhymer

Work to keep from gettin' jerked

Changin' some ways

To way back in the better days

Raw metaphysically bold

Never followed a code

Still dropped a load

Never question what I am...God knows

Cause it's comin' from the heart

What I got better get some

(Get on up) hustler of culture

Snakebitten

Been spit in the face (uh!)

But the rhymes keep fittin'

Respects been givin' how's ya livin'

Now I can't protect a pad off defect

Check the record

And reckon an intentional wreck

Played off as some intellect

Made the call, took the fall

Broke the laws

Not my fault they're fallin' off

Known as fair square

Throughout my years

So I growl at the livin' foul

Black to the bone my home is your home

But welcome to the Terrordome

 

(REFRAIN)

 

Subordinate terror

Kickin' off an era

Cold deliverin' pain

My 98 was 87 on a record yo

So now I go Bronco

 

(BREAKDOWN)

 

Crucifixion ain't no fiction

So called chosen frozen

Apology made to who ever pleases

Still they got me like Jesus

I rather sing, bring, think...reminisce

'Bout a brother while I'm in sync

Every brother ain't a brother cause a color

Just as well could be undercover

Backstabbed, grabbed a flag

From the back of the lab

Told a Rab get off the rag

Sad to say I got sold down the river

Still some quiver when I deliver

Never to say I never know or had a clue

Word was heard, plus hard on the boulevard

Lies, scandalizin', basin'

Traits of hate who's celebratin' wit satan?

I rope a dope the evil with righteous

Bobbin' and weavin' and let the good get even

C'mon down

And welcome to the Terrordome.

 

(REFRAIN)

 

Caught in the race against time

The pit and the pendulum

Check the rhythm and rhymes

While I'm bendin' 'em

Snakes blowin' up the lines of design

Tryin' to blind the science I'm sendin' 'em

How to fight the power

Cannot run and hide

But it shouldn't be suicide

In a game a fool without the rules

Got a hell of a nerve to just criticize

Every brother ain't a brother

Cause a Black hand

Squeezed on Malcom X the man

The shootin' of Huey Newton

From a hand of a N*gger who pulled the trigger

 

(BREAKDOWN)

 

It's weak to speak and blame somebody else

When you destroy yourself

First nothing's worse than a mother's pain

Of a son slain in Bensonhurst

Can't wait for the state to decide the fate

So this jam I dedicate

Places with the racist faces

Just an example of one of many cases

The Greek weekend speech I speak

From a lesson learned in Virginia (Beach)

I don't smile in the line of fire

I go wildin'

But it's on bass and drums even violins

Watcha do gitcha head ready

Instead of gettin' physically sweaty

When I get mad

I put it down on a pad

Give ya somethin' that cha never had

Controllin', Fear of high rollin'

God bless your soul and keep livin'

Never allowed, kickin' it loud

Droppin' a bomb

Brain game intellectual Vietnam

Move as a team

Never move alone

But Welcome to the Terrordome

Porcupine Tree - Trains

 

Train set and match spied under the blind

Shiny and contoured the railway winds

And I've heard the sound from my cousin's bed

The hiss of the train at the railway head

 

Always the summers are slipping away

 

A 60 ton angel falls to the earth

A pile of old metal, a radiant blur

Scars in the country, the summer and her

 

Always the summers are slipping away

Find me a way for making it stay

 

When I hear the engine pass

I'm kissing you wide

The hissing subsides

I'm in luck

 

When the evening reaches here

You're tying me up

I'm dying of love

It's OK

 

--------------------------

 

I love this song

Faith No More "Mouth to Mouth"

 

You tied the knot

A legend is what you bought

I give you cold water and you

Swear it was wine

You bought time

If you can fool yourself, then why not them?

Just keep on passing it mouth to mouth to mouth

 

I can dress up the dead man

But I can't bring him back to life

 

You tied the knot

Peeled your skin off, leaving a bundle of nerves

I give you a wet noodle, you swear that it was my tongue

A sharp one

Instead of that same old mouth to mouth to mouth to mouth

 

I can dress up the dead man

But I can't bring him back to life

Shangri-La - The Kinks

 

Now that you’ve found your paradise

This is your kingdom to command

You can go outside and polish your car

Or sit by the fire in your shangri-la

Here is your reward for working so hard

Gone are the lavatories in the back yard

Gone are the days when you dreamed of that car

You just want to sit in your shangri-la

 

Put on your slippers and sit by the fire

You’ve reached your top and you just can’t get any higher

You’re in your place and you know where you are

In your shangri-la

Sit back in your old rocking chair

You need not worry, you need not care

You can’t go anywhere

Shangri-la, shangri-la, shangri-la

 

The little man who gets the train

Got a mortgage hanging over his head

But he’s too scared to complain

’cos he’s conditioned that way

Time goes by and he pays off his debts

Got a tv set and a radio

For seven shillings a week

Shangri-la, shangri-la, shangri-la, shangri-la, shangri-la, shangri-la

 

And all the houses in the street have got a name

’cos all the houses in the street they look the same

Same chimney pots, same little cars, same window panes

The neighbors call to tell you things that you should know

They say their lines, they drink their tea, and then they go

They tell your business in another shangri-la

The gas bills and the water rates, and payments on the car

Too scared to think about how insecure you are

Life ain’t so happy in your little shangri-la

Shangri-la, shangri-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

 

Put on your slippers and sit by the fire

You’ve reached your top and you just can’t get any higher

You’re in your place and you know where you are

In your shangri-la

Sit back in your old rocking chair

You need not worry, you need not care

You can’t go anywhere

Shangri-la, shangri-la, shangri-la, shangri-la, shangri-la, shangri-la

Dream Theatre - Pull Me Under

 

Lost in the sky

Clouds roll by and I roll with them

Arrows fly

Seas increase and then fall again

 

This world is spinning around me

This world is spinning without me and

Every day sends future to past

Every breath leaves me one less to my last

 

Watch the sparrow falling

Gives new meaning to it all

If not today nor yet tomorrow then some other day

 

I'll take seven lives for one

And then my only father's son

As sure as I did ever love him I am not afraid

 

This world is spinning around me

The whole world keeps spinning around me and

All life is future to past

Every breath leaves me one less to my last

 

Pull me under

Pull me under

Pull me under I'm not afraid

All that I feel is honor and spite

All I can do is to set it right

 

Dust fills my eyes

Clouds roll by and I roll with them

Centuries cry

Orders fly and I fall again

 

This world is spinning inside me

The whole world is spinning inside me

Every day sends future to past

Every step brings me closer to my last

 

Pull me under

Pull me under

Pull me under I'm not afraid

Living my life too much in the sun

Only until your will is done

 

 

Pull me under

Pull me under

Pull me under I'm not afraid

All that I feel is honor and spite

All I can do is to set it right

Pull me under

Pull me under

Pull me under I'm not afraid

Living my life too much in the sun

Only until your will is done

 

Oh that this too

Too solid flesh

Would melt

Time to get back on track. No more Linkin Park chat :bang

 

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

 

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain.

Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?

Do you think you can tell?

 

And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees?

Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change?

And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

 

How I wish, how I wish you were here.

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,

Running over the same old ground. What have you found? The same old fears.

Wish you were here.

Seven Seas Of Rhye

Queen

Words and music by Freddie Mercury

 

Fear me you lord and lady preachers

I descend upon your earth from the skies

I command your very souls you unbelievers

Bring before me what is mine

The seven seas of Rhye

 

Can you hear me you peers and privy councillors

I stand before you naked to the eyes

I will destroy any man who dares abuse my trust

I swear that you'll be mine

At the seven seas of Rhye

 

Sister I live and lie for you

Mister do and I'll die

You are mine I possess you

Belong to you forever

 

Storm the master marathon I'll fly through

By flash and thunder fire I'll survive

I'll survive I'll survive

Then I'll defy the laws of nature

And come out alive

 

Begone with you you shod and shady senators

Give out the good leave out the bad evil cries

I challenge the mighty titan and his troubadours

And with a smile

I'll take you to the seven seas of Rhye

Spread Your Wings

Queen

Words and music by John Deacon

 

Sammy was low

Just watching the show

Over and over again

Knew it was time

He'd made up his mind

To leave his dead life behind

His boss said to him

'Boy you'd better begin

To get those crazy notions right out of your head

Sammy who do you think that you are?

You should've been sweeping up the Emerald bar'

 

Spread your wings and fly away

Fly away far away

Spread your little wings and fly away

Fly away far away

Pull yourself together

'Cos you know you should do better

That's because you're a free man

 

He spends his evenings alone in his hotel room

Keeping his thoughts to himself he'd be leaving soon

Wishing he was miles and miles away

Nothing in this world nothing would make him stay

 

Since he was small

Had no luck at all

Nothing came easy to him

Now it was time

He'd made up his mind

'This could be my last chance'

 

His boss said to him 'now listen boy

You're always dreaming

You've got no real ambition you won't get very far

Sammy boy don't you know who you are?

Why can't you be happy at the Emerald bar?'

 

So honey

Spread your wings and fly away

Fly away far away

Spread your little wings and fly away

Fly away far away

Pull yourself together

'Cos you know you should do better

That's because you're a free man

Come on honey

I'll be damned, I never knew John did the lyrics to this song. It always struck me as a Brian May song.

Queens of the Stone Age

 

"You Can't Quit Me Baby"

 

 

 

It’s a mistake, but who knows

Followed you home

Crawled in your window

This life is a trip

When you’re psycho in love

And I know

 

Followed your friends

You were not there

Slashed and I cut

I bled in the sink

Heard what you said and

You’re laughing baby

Slashed and I cut

And I do it for you

I want you to notice

When I’m not around

Wherever you are

 

You’re solid gold

I’ll see you in hell
