    "Frank Forgets" (Leo Kottke)

    sample verse:
    - - - -
    His hand was where his nose should be
    his head stuck up his ass
    he walked on one leg naturally
    and watched the bipeds pass
    - - - -

    Acres of Skin - Fear Factory

    walk through the ashes of man
    skin like fields on fire
    pain is only a weakness
    death is just an escape

    we are connected like tissue
    feed on the shame you've raised
    why continue the harvest?
    we are already dead

    no one can reap these scars we've sown

    there is no morning sun
    no falling rain
    for acres of skin

    wait! can you hear the machines?
    gears that cultivate flesh
    why continue the harvest?
    we are already dead

    no one can reap these scars we've sown

    there is no morning sun
    no falling rain
    for acres of skin

    all i want and wish for
    is to end this suffering
    all alone and unaware
    all primed up for dying

    without face, without mind
    without dreams, without memory

    Take your time, come on, get what you come for don't
    Waste my time, come on, get what you come for don't
    waste my time, come on, get what you come for don't
    waste my time, come on, get what you come for

    Of course, you have to hear it to appreciate its raw sexual energy:

    *************
    M*W: My favorite lyrics are:

    "You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave." ~ The Eagles (Hotel California)

    "Tramps like us, baby we were born to run." ~ Bruce Springsteen (Born to Run)

    "Desperado, why don't you come to your senses? You've been out ridin' fences for so long. You better let somebody love you. You better let somebody love you, before it's too late." ~ The Eagles (Desperado)

    "It had to be you. It had to be you. I wandered around, and finally found somebody who...". ~ Tony Bennett (It Had to Be You)

    "I hear her voice in the mornin' hours she calls me, the radio reminds me of my home far away, and ridin' down the road I get a feelin' that I should've been home yesterday. Yesterday. Country Roads, take me home, to the place I belong. West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home." ~ John Denver (Almost Heaven-West Virginia)

    "I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars, on a collision course, I am a satellite, I'm outta control, I'm a sex machine ready to reload, like an atom bomb about to oh oh oh oh oh explode. Burning through the skies, six-hundred degrees, that's why they call me Mr. Farenheit, I'm travelling at the speed of light, I'm gonna make a rocket man outta you. Don't stop me now, I'm having such a good time, I'm having a ball. Don't stop me now, if you wanna have a good time, just give me a call. Don't stop me now. Don't stop me now. I don't want to stop at all." Queen (Don't Stop Me Now)

    "Life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone. Rock on." ~ John C. Mellencamp (A Little Ditty 'Bout Jack and Diane)

    Hoobastank (The Reason)

    I'm not a perfect person
    theres many things I wish I didn't do
    but I continue learning
    I never meant to do those things to you
    and so I have to say before I go
    that I just want you to know


    I found a reason for me
    to change who I used to be
    a reason to start over new
    and the reason is you


    I m sorry that I hurt you
    its something i must live with everyday
    and all the pain I put you through
    I wish that I could take it all away
    and be the one who catches all your tears

    I found a reason for me
    to change who I used to be
    a reason to start over new
    and the reason is you
    and the reason is you
    and the reason is you

    A sample of some of my faves:

    Ray

    Georgia, Georgia
    The whole day through
    Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia
    On my mind...

    Bill

    Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
    It's not warm when she's away
    Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
    And this house just ain't no home
    Anytime she goes away

    Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
    Only darkness ev'ry day
    Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
    And she's always gone too long
    Anytime she goes away...

    Elton

    It's sad, so sad
    It's a sad sad situation
    And it's getting more and more absurd
    It's sad, so sad
    Why can't we talk it over
    Oh, it seems to me
    That sorry seems to be the hardest word...

    Gerry
    ...
    But you know he'll always keep movin'
    You know he's never gonna stop movin'
    His heels rollin'
    He's a rollin' stone

    And when you wake up it's a new mornin'
    The sun is shinin', it's a new mornin'
    You're goin'
    You're goin' home

    The Floyd

    Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
    To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
    Steps taken forwards
    But sleepwalking back again
    Dragged by the force of some inner tide

    At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
    We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

    Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
    There's a hunger still unsatisfied
    Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
    Though down this road we've been so many times

    The grass was greener
    The light was brighter
    The taste was sweeter
    The nights of wonder
    With friends surrounded
    The dawn mist glowing
    The water flowing
    The endless river

    Forever and ever


    But I tend to think about the music structure mostly, the lyrical structure can be spoken like a poem, you see.

    Your Saving Grace by Steve Miller

    Winters people watching
    As I sail from seasons four
    To join some crazy ladies
    In a game upon the shore
    None of them with broken wings
    But still refuse to fly
    So with sweetness on my lips
    I smile a last goodbye

    And now I spend my life
    On the velvet side of hell
    Aimlessly here searching
    For what I cannot tell
    The quietness is terrible
    Its more than I can stand
    But thousands now stand cheering
    As my blood flows in the sand

    Spoken: youre not the child
    You thought you were
    You wake up in the night
    And know youre blind
    And yet they keep on pushing
    Trying the insides of your mind
    Forever, forever arresting to control
    Until the emptiness of heaven welcomes your weary soul

    Rise up with the new dawns early morning
    Feel the sunshine warm upon your face
    Tomorrows come a long, long way to help you
    Yes, its your saving grace

    Every day, every way
    Tomorrow, its your saving grace
    Well, now got no time to worry
    Cause Ive got no time to hurry
    Baby, its your saving grace
    Now dont you lay those blames on me
    Dont you play those games on me
    Cause baby its your saving grace
    You got to need a little lovin
    Now baby its your saving grace
    Hey, I feel alright
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Your saving grace
    Ah, hey, hey, hey
    Your saving grace
    La la la la la la la la....
    Oh baby, its your saving grace

    Its hard for me to say the things
    I want to say sometimes
    Theres no one here but you and me
    And that broken old street light
    Lock the doors
    Well leave the world outside
    All Ive got to give to you
    Are these five words when i

    Chorus:
    Thank you for loving me
    For being my eyes
    When I couldnt see
    For parting my lips
    When I couldnt breathe
    Thank you for loving me
    Thank you for loving me

    I never knew I had a dream
    Until that dream was you
    When I look into your eyes
    The skys a different blue
    Cross my heart
    I wear no disguise
    If I tried, youd make believe
    That you believed my lies

    Chorus:
    Thank you for loving me
    For being my eyes
    When I couldnt see
    For parting my lips
    When I couldnt breathe
    Thank you for loving me

    You pick me up when I fall down
    You ring the bell before they count me out
    If I was drowning you would part the sea
    And risk your own life to rescue me

    Solo

    Lock the doors
    Well leave the world outside
    All Ive got to give to you
    Are these five words when i

    Chorus:
    Thank you for loving me
    For being my eyes
    When I couldnt see
    You parted my lips
    When I couldnt breathe
    Thank you for loving me

    When I couldnt fly
    Oh, you gave me wings
    You parted my lips
    When I couldnt breathe
    Thank you for loving me

    It's really strange reading through so many lyrics on their own. It makes you realise how some songs are poetry to a music, while others are just sound and words.

    good charlotte couldnt write a decent song if it jumped up and bit them on the noses, an elephant shitting through a straw sounds better than them

    This song always makes me laugh:

    Sunspot Baby
    Bob Seger

    She packed up her bags and she took off down the road
    Left me here stranded with the bills she owed
    She gave me a false address
    Took off with my American Express
    Sunspot Baby
    She sure had me way outguessed

    She left me here stranded like a dog out in the yard
    Charged up a fortune on my credit card
    She used my address and my name
    Man that was sure unkind
    Sunspot Baby
    She sure has a real good time

    I looked in Miami
    I looked in Negril
    The closest I came was a month old bill
    I checked the Bahamas and they said she was gone
    I can't understand why she did me so wrong

    But she packed up her bags
    And she took off down the road
    Said she was going to visit her sister Flo
    She used my address and my name
    And man that was sure unkind
    Sunspot Baby
    I'm gonna catch up sometime
    Sure had a real good time

    Talk about some pain!

    Suzanne by Leonard Cohen


    Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
    You can hear the boats go by
    You can spend the night beside her
    And you know that she's half crazy
    But that's why you want to be there
    And she feeds you tea and oranges
    That come all the way from China
    And just when you mean to tell her
    That you have no love to give her
    Then she gets you on her wavelength
    And she lets the river answer
    That you've always been her lover
    And you want to travel with her
    And you want to travel blind
    And you know that she will trust you
    For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.


    And Jesus was a sailor
    When he walked upon the water
    And he spent a long time watching
    From his lonely wooden tower
    And when he knew for certain
    Only drowning men could see him
    He said "All men will be sailors then
    Until the sea shall free them"
    But he himself was broken
    Long before the sky would open
    Forsaken, almost human
    He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
    And you want to travel with him
    And you want to travel blind
    And you think maybe you'll trust him
    For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.

    Now Suzanne takes your hand
    And she leads you to the river
    She is wearing rags and feathers
    From Salvation Army counters
    And the sun pours down like honey
    On our lady of the harbour
    And she shows you where to look
    Among the garbage and the flowers
    There are heroes in the seaweed
    There are children in the morning
    They are leaning out for love
    And they will lean that way forever
    While Suzanne holds the mirror
    And you want to travel with her
    And you want to travel blind
    And you know that you can trust her
    For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.
