Best Lyrics

[Jack_Harvard]

Pixies--Nimrod's Son
My sister held me close and whispered to my bleeding head...
"You are the son of a mother ****er."

Cake--Shadow Stabbing
Adjectives on the typewriter
He moves his words like a prize fighter.
The frenzied pace of the mind inside the cell.

American Death Ray--Miss America (What Goes On)
Oh, between those Star-Spangled thighs
What goes on?
When you look in those eyes
What goes on?
She'll take your soul, and she'll exercise!

Eagles--Learn To Be Still
But the flock cries out for another.
They keep answering that bell.
One more starry-eyed Messiah
Meets a violent farewell.
Learn to be still.

Simon and Garfunkel--A Poem on the Underground Wall (Sorry, I gotta put the full song)
The last train is nearly due,
The Underground is closing soon.
And in the dark, deserted station,
Restless in anticipation,
A man waits in the shadows.

His restless eyes leap and scratch
At all that they can touch and catch.
Hidden deep within his pocket,
Safe within a silent socket,
He holds a colored crayon.

Now from the tunnel's stony womb
The carriage rides to meet the groom,
And opens wide and welcome doors,
But he hesitates, then withdraws
Deeper in the shadows.

And the train is gone suddenly,
On wheels clipping silently,
Like a gently tapping litany,
And he holds his crayon rosary
Tighter in his hand.

Now from his pocket quickly flashes,
The crayon on the wall he slashes
Deep upon the advertising
A single-worded poem comprised
Of four letters.

And his heart is laughing, screaming, pounding,
The poem across the tracks rebounding.
Shadowed by the exit light,
His legs take their ascending flight
To seek the breast of darkness and be suckled by the night.

Art Brut - These Animal Menswear

Last week she attempted suicide,
16 Times,
Apparently she nearly died.

[MrGrieves]

And we won't be breathing in that same sun again. None of this will ever surface again. How we get older, how we forget about eachother. And the angel falls to the sky. Raised and coiled she blessed this day she did. And it rings our ears. She rarely flies anymore, burden broke her wings. And I know this ghost, I have seen it before. Young it is the dying too fast, too soon, I'll be okay. The air thins in the quick and our lips move but we hear no sound. Every time you justify, another good in you dies. Faith and fear sears me, and love and you pull all the right strings. How we get older, how we forget about eachother, she said. Entwined within the sadder of days.

Take a Bow- Muse
(Like Jack_Harvard said, sorry gotta post the whole song)
Corrupt
You're corrupt
Bring corruption to all that you touch
Hold
You behold
And beholden for all that you've done
And spin
Cast a spell
Cast a spell on the country you run
And risk
You will risk
You will risk all their lives and their souls

And burn
You will burn
You will burn in hell, yeah you'll burn in hell
You'll burn in hell
Yeah you'll burn in hell
For your sins

And our freedom's consuming itself
What we've become
It's contrary to what we want

Take a bow

Death
You bring death, and destruction to all that you touch
Pay
You must pay
You must pay for your crimes against the earth
Yeah hex
Feed the hex
Feed the hex on the country you love

Now beg
You will beg
You will beg for their lives and their souls

Now burn
You will burn
You will burn in hell, yeah you'll burn in hell
You'll burn in hell
Yeah you'll burn in hell
You'll burn in hell
Yeah you'll burn in hell
For your sins

Heartbreaker - Led Zeppelin

One thing I do have on my mind, if you can clarify please do,
It's the way you call me another guy's name when I try to make love to you.

Boy Named Sue - Johnny Cash (written by Shel Silverstein)

And he said: "Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
And I knew I wouldn't be there to help you along.
So I give you that name and I said goodbye
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
And it's that name that helped to make you strong."

He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
But you ought to thank me, before I die,
For the gravel in your guts and the spit in your eye
Cause I'm the son-of-a-***** that named you "Sue.'"

Drunken Butterfly- Sonic Youth
I love you
I love you
I love you
What's your name
