Don't have to be the greatest lyrics in the world or the most poignent or anything; just thought a thread to put down any lyrics you catch and think are cool would be interesting.

 

At the moment the ones I like the most are from a bloke called Jamie T and the song's called Salvador. Best bit is probably:

 

"Well it's a bang-bang anglo saxons at the disco atishoo all fall down Hound-dogs rowl on the prowl for the next young girl who told her daddy "Im gonna round Gemma's and study".

 

Hard to get without hearing it in context but I just really like it. The whole song rules basically.

 

Feel free to contribute...

A guy called Sage Francis, the song is "Makeshift Patriot". The whole thing is brilliant.

Without turning this thread into a Monkey's appreciation love-in...Saw 'em on Gonzo late last night...how can they be so articulate song-wise, but come across so incoherently?!

Ritz to the rubble is lyrically brilliant; but then the whole damn album is.

 

"But his bird thinks he's amazing so all that's left is the proof that love's not only blind but deaf, He's talks of San Francisco he's form he from Hunters Bar, I don't quite know the distance but I'm sure that's far, yeah I'm sure that's pretty far, Yeah I'd love to tell you all my problem, Yer not from New York City yer from Rotherham"

 

Genius.

Tell me tell me how we ended up so cynically.

Hope of the States.

You're tall just like a giraffe

You have to climb to find its head

But if there's a glitch

You're an ostrich

You've got your head in the sand

I quite like in that new Morrisey song,

"As I live and breathe, you have killed me..."

just an inkling of classic Mozza.

 

Also PlantLife

"I wrote this song when I was drunk, but I meant every last word that I said".

 

Neither too profound but in the rhythm of the song they sound good.

I just listened to the Shirehorses album recently for the first time in years, and some of that is quality.

 

"Mark: Many miles on the clock and I'm ready to ROCK! How's it looking Lard?

Lard: We're on the A37 and we're fast approaching Devon, shall we stop off for a jar?

Mark: God I wish I'd never met this Lardy feckless get, just take me home"

 

"He's not in the kitchen, He's not in the khazi,

He's not in the morning room. Joe's fucked off!

He's not in the gard-on, or in the bedroom with a hard-on,

Ooh! I beg your pard-on, Joe's fucked off!"

 

"Now what you winking at, you know I'm not like that,

Keep yer mind on cutting grass, and off my hairy ass,

You're an ugly bleeder, but oi needs yer, and oi loves yer just the same!"

Johnny Cash, When The Man Comes Around

 

"Whoever is unjust, let him be unjust still. Whoever is righteous, let him be righteous still. Whoever is filthy, let him be filthy still. Listen to the words long written down, When the man comes around."

 

A quality song by a great artist from his last album, American IV: The Man Comes Around. An apocalyptic tale that stands up against anything from the last few years. One of my absolute favourite songs of recent times.

Court Report by Little Man Tate

 

 

Well he's a cross dresser honey, he fights for his team

He dishes out a kickin' with a thong under his jeans

He's a cross dresser honey and it don't seem right

 

His train pulls into the station, all the way from Leeds

He's gonna do somebody till his knuckles bleed

He's a cross dresser honey and it don't seem right

 

He gets home switches on the news, kicks back in his high heel shoes

Switches channels to Eastenders, cleans his house in his red suspenders

 

This is the court report, front page of the Daily Sport

Skinhead cross dresser caught, for smashing up someones car

Smashing up someones car

 

Well he's a cross dresser honey, he's down on his luck

Spends his time fighting and dressing up

He's a cross dresser honey and it don't seem right

 

He's sitting at the bar and he's looking pretty laced

He's gonna start some trouble with blusher on his face

He's a cross dresser honey and it don't seem right

 

He gets home switches on the news, kicks back in his high heel shoes

Switches channels to Eastenders, cleans his house in his red suspenders

This is the court report, front page of the Daily Sport

Skinhead cross dresser caught, for smashing up someones car

Smashing up someones car

 

This is the court report

This is the court report

This is the court report

This is the court report

 

This is the court report(this is the court report)

Front page of the Daily Sport (this is the court report)

Skinhead cross dresser caught (this is the court report)

This is the court report (the court report)

Front page of the Daily Sport (the court report)

Skinhead cross dresser caught (the court report)

For smashing up someones car

Smashing up someones car.

Any 'CRACK INDUCED' ODB lyric. He should deffo have his own thread.

 

You're a crossbreed, I'm a knowledge seed

I want ACTION, that's what I need

I never put doubt in my mind

Cause I know when I touch the mic there's the rhyme

See murder which is caused

When you fuck with the negative and positive charge

Then they came up, out my garage

With the hit that's gonna be LARGE

Tired of sittin on my fuckin ass

Niggaz I know, be runnin around with mad fuckin cash

Who the FUCK wanna be an emcee

If you can't get paid, to be a fuckin emcee?

I came out my momma pussy -- I'm on welfare

Twenty-six years old -- still on welfare!

So I gotta get paid fully

Whether it's truthfully or untruthfully

With my Boston bloodthirsty process

P-E-A-C-E

 

OR

 

 

I want to give a shoutout to FunkMaster Flex

And all the DJs across the world

I want to give a shoutout to my nigga Lupe

I want to give a shoutout to my nigga Suge Knight

To my nigga Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg

I want to give a shoutout to um,um, what's them niggas, Outkast

I want to give a shoutout to them crazy niggas

In parts of the world that I never been too

I want to give a shoutout to the Eskimos

I want to give a shoutout to the submarines

I want to give a shoutout to the army, air force, navy marines

KNow what I'm saying? Y'all playing my music

In the submarines and the boats

Play that shit know what I'm saying?

It's called travelling music busting ya ass style

Yo Big Baby Jesus

It's One Love

I give a shout out to all the women

I give a shout out to all the babies

All the munchkins

All across the world playa, God

I want to give a shoutout to all the school teachers

I give a shout out to um,um, myself

 

 

OR

 

Yo, I'm the cunt breath asshole eater

And if you let me physically eat it, it only get (burps)

Yo, the race we'll lose

I'm ?? the booze

Don't eat the food!

AAAAHH! If you really want to cum

This dope game get your pussy numb

I heard Mike Skinner (The Streets) talking about this song he'd wrote for his dad, who had just recently died and he was saying that he had nothing to remind him of his dad. Not that i'm a big fan of the streets but the lyrics we're somthing like. "Now i realised, you left me, to remind me of you."

 

Thought that was quallity!

Never went to church - The streets.

 

We never went to church

Just dealt with work and sometimes things will hurt

But sydney since you left us

It's so hard not to search.

 

If you were still about,

I'd ask you what I'm sposed to do now

I just get fucking a bit scared every now..

I hope I made you proud.

 

 

It's a good tune that one mate. Reckon it probaly catches how a lot of people feel after a loved one dies.
