Favorite Song Lyrics

there's so many to choose from but, i gotta say i think this song is still one of the cleverest i've ever heard:

Hook
Music & Lyrics: John Popper

It doesn't matter what I say
So long as I sing with inflection
That makes you feel that I'll convey
Some inner truth of vast reflection
But I've said nothing so far
And I can keep it up for as long as it takes
And it don't matter who you are
If I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that breaks

Because the hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

There is something amiss
I am being insincere
In fact I don't mean any of this
Still my confession draws you near
To confuse the issue I refer
To familiar heroes from long ago
No matter how much Peter loved her
What made the Pan refuse to grow

Was that the hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

Suck it in suck it in suck it in
If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
Make a desperate move or else you'll win
And then begin
To see
What you're doing to me this MTV is not for free
It's so PC it's killing me
So desperately I sing to thee
Of love
Sure but also rage and hate and pain and fear of self
And I can't keep these feelings on the shelf
I've tried well no in fact I lied
Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside
To hide or slide
I'll do as I'll decide and let it ride until I've died
And only then shall I abide this tide
Of catchy little tunes
Of hip three minute ditties
I wanna bust all your balloons
I wanna burn all of your cities
To the ground I've found
I will not mess around
Unless I play then hey
I will go on all day hear what I say
I have a prayer to pray
That's really all this was
And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck
I don't rely on luck because...

The hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook...
On that you can rely

something i can never have, from pretty hate machine, nine inch nails (trent reznor wrote it)

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 'til i don't want to sleep anymore
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 this 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
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 this all go away
i just want something
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 fucking reminder of who i used to be
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
i just want something i can never have

Outkast featuring Ceelo,In due time-soulfood soundtrack

Ceelo... Imagine a highpitch Southern Voice belting this out...

Strugglin's just a part of my day
Many obstacles have been placed in my way
I know the only reason that I make it through
Is because I never stop believin in you
Some people wonder why we here in the first place
They can't believe because they ain't never seen your face
But even when you pray, the next day you gotta try
Can't wait for nobody to come down out the sky
You've got to realize that the world's a test
You can only do your best and let Him do the rest
You've got your life, and got your health
So quit procrastinatin and push it yourself
You've got to realize that the world's a test
You can only do your best and let Him do the rest
You've got your life, and got your health
So quit procrastinatin..

Just keep your faith in me
Don't act impatiently
You'll get where you need to be, in due time
Even when things are slow
Hold on and don't let go
I'll give you what I owe, in due time

#1 stunna, also by trent reznor

You know me - I don't need no introduction and shit
Ride Bentley's 'round the city on buttons, ya bitch
Arm hangin', wrist blingin' - just stun'n and shit
Drop the top, block is hot
Stay bumpin', ya bitch
B. Atrice get it right, don't tangle and twist it
Hit the club every night, drunk - drinkin' that Crissy
Niggas mad - don't like it 'cause I'm bangin' they bitches
When the light hit the ice, it twankle and glistens
Baby, Brian, B, Bubba - you can call me what you feel
Hoppin' out the platinum Hummer with the platinum grill
With the platinum pieces, and the platinum chains
With the platinum watches, and the platinum rings (platinum rings)
Nigga shit ain't changed, still doin' my thing
Still do it for the block - nuts hang and swing
You don't know another nigga that can stunt like me (stunt like me)
Big Tymer representin', nigga - the U.P.T.

(Hook [Baby + Lil' Wayne])
[Baby] I'ma a hard stun'n nigga like Evil Knievel

[Baby]
I put dubs on cars - when I ride, I'm fly
We thugs, not stars, bitch - ride or die
Put bricks on blocks, nigga - cooked and cut
Juvy 'bout to hold the rocks, nigga, hook it up
Diamonds on my hoes' feet - when they walk, they spark
Diamonds in my fuckin' teeth - when I talk, I spark
Don't fuck around with beef - when it start, I spark
Me and my Hot Boy creeps - when it's dark, we spark
Just bought a new car, and I spent about a million
The motherfuckin' driver seat sittin' in the middle
Me and my son, Wheezy, got a house by the water
I'll be fuckin' bad bitches (bad bitches, bad bitches)

[Lil' Wayne]
I be hittin' they daughters

[Baby]
I like my dick sucked fast

[Lil' Wayne]
I like to play with them rookies

[Baby]

I'ma stunt 'til I die, bitch, the shit don't quit

(Hook [Baby + Lil' Wayne])

[Juvenile]

[Lil' Wayne]

Juvenile (Juvenile)

[Lil' Wayne]
But wait,

(Hook2x [Baby + Lil' Wayne])

[Baby {talking}]
Now, it's plain and simple, nigga
I ain't met a nigga yet
could fuck with these Cash Money Hot Boys with these cars, nigga
See that new Monte Carlo, that's hot and on fire
that my dog, Fresh, had first
We got 'em on dubs
That Lexus - the new one - that come out in 2001 with the frog eyes
I got that bitch on dubs
And that Yu- the new Yukon, that's bubble-eye
I got that bitch on dubs
And that Mercedes Wagon, with the kit, that's kitted out
look like it got frog eyes
That bitch on dubs
And I got that Benz that me and my dog bought for our bitches
We got this shit here on dubs
We all drive Bentley's on dubs
I'm tryin' to put platinum eyebrows on these hoes
I just bought me a platinum football field, nigga
Ya understand?
Don't fuck with me with these cars, nigga (at all, playboy)
We the number-one stunnas, nigga (Nigga, we don't give a fuck)
Got that Viper with them rattlin stripes, with that kit
Ya understand?
We ain't playin'

Believe that, playboy
(Fuck your whole hood up)

one of my many favs:




DMB

Lately I've been feeling low
A remedy is what I'm seeking
I take a taste of what's below
Come away to something better
What I want is what I've not got
But what I need is all around me
I reach and search and never stop
And I'll say...

If you could keep me floating just for a while
'Til I get to the end of this tunnel called... brother
If you could keep me floating just for a while
I'll get back to you

Well, sometimes a Jimi Thing
Slides my way and keeps me swinging
I'd like to show you what's inside
Yeah, but I sure don't care if you do or don't like it
Brother chaos rules all about
Well, sometimes I take a walk there
God knows, sometimes I take a taxi
Shouldn't care, I shouldn't care
Bereaved as I'm feeling

The day is gone, I'm on my back
Staring up at the ceiling
Well, I take a drink, sit back, and relax
Smoke my kind, makes me feel
Better for a small time
What I want is what I've not got
But what I need is all around me
I reach and search and never stop
And I'll say...

If you could keep me floating just for a while
'Til I get to the end of this tunnel called... Jimi
If you could keep me floating just for a while
I'll get back to you

Well, sometimes my Jimi Thing
Slides my way and keeps me swinging
I'd like to show you what's inside
Yeah, but I sure don't care, oh, if you do or don't like it
Brother chaos rules all about
Yeah, sometimes I take a walk there
God knows, sometimes I take a taxi
Shouldn't care, I shouldn't care
Bereaved as I'm feeling

Lately I've been feeling low
And a remedy's what I'm looking for
Cooking for
Man, I take a taste of what's below
Come away...

If you could keep me floating just for a while
'Til I get to the end of this tunnel called... sister
If you could keep me floating just for a while
I'll get back to you

Well, sometimes a Jimi Thing
Slides my way and keeps me swinging
I'd like to show you what's inside
No, but I sure don't care, oh, if you do or don't like it
Brother chaos rules all about
Well, sometimes I take a walk there
God knows, sometimes I take a bus there
Shouldn't care, I shouldn't care
Bereaved as I'm feeling

I have a new favo song every few months...this time it's Eminem

Album: The Eminem Show (2002)
Song: Till I Collapse

Intro:
Cause sometimes you just feel tired.
You feel weak and when you feel weak you feel like you wanna just give up.
But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
and just pull that shit out of you and get that motivation to not give up
and not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse.

B/W Intro:
Go left, go left, go left right left
Go left, go left, go left right left
Go left, go left, go left right left
Go left, go left, go left right left

Verse #1:
Till I collapse I?m spilling these raps long as you feel em
Till the day that I drop you?ll never say that I?m not killing them
Cause when I am not then I am stop pinning them
And I am not hip-hop and I?m just not Eminem.
Subliminal thoughts when I?m stop sending them women are caught in webs spin and hauk venom
Adrenaline shots of penicillin could not get the illing to stop. Amoxacilin is just not real enough.
The criminal cop killing hip-hop filling minimal swap to cop millions of Pac listeners.
Your coming with me, feel it or not you?re gonna fear it like I showed you the spirit of god lives in us.
You hear it a lot, lyrics the shock is it a miracle or am I just a product of pop fizzing up.
For shizzle my whizzle this is the plot listen up you pizzles forgot slizzle does not give a fuck.

Chorus - NateDogg
Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out
Till my legs give out, can?t shut my mouth.
Till the smoke clears out and my high wear out
I?ma rip this shit till my bone collapse.
Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out
Till my legs give out, can?t shut my mouth.
Till the smoke clears out and my high wear out
I?ma rip this shit till my bone collapse.

Verse #2:
Music is like magic there?s a certain feeling you get when your real
and you spit and people are feeling your shit.
This is your moment and every single minute you spend trying to hold onto it
cause you may never get it again.
So while you?re in it try to get as much shit as you can
and when your run is over just admit when its at its end.
Cause I?m at the end of my wits with half this shit that gets in.
I got a list here?s the order of my list that it?s in.
It goes, Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac and Biggie, Andre from Outcast, Jada, Kurupt,
Nas and then me. But in this industry I?m the cause of a lot of envy,
so when I?m not put on this list the shit does not offend me.
That?s why you see me walk around like nothing?s bothering me.
Even though half you people got a fucken problem with me.
You hate it but you know respect you?ve got to give me
The press's wet dream like Bobby and Whitney. Nate hit me.

Chorus - NateDogg

Verse #3:
Soon as a verse starts I eat it at MC?s heart
what is he thinking? I'ma not to go against me, smart.
And its absurd how people hang on every word.
I?ll probably never get the props I feel I ever deserve
But I?ll never be served my spot is forever reserved
If I ever leave earth that would be the death of me first.
Cause in my heart of hearts I know nothing could ever be worse.
That?s why I?m clever when I put together every verse
My thoughts are sporadic, I act like I?m an addict
I rap like I?m addicted to smack like I?m Kim Mathers.
But I don?t want to go forth and back in constant battles
The fact is I would rather sit back and bump some rappers.
So this is like a full blown attack I?m launching at them
The track is on some battling raps who want some static
Cause I don?t really think that the fact that I?m Slim matters
A plaque of platinum status is whack if I?m not the baddest.

Chorus - NateDogg

Outro:
Eminem & Natedogg Echo:
Until the roof
The roof comes off
Until my legs
give out form underneath me

Eminem:
I will not fall,
I will stand tall,
Feels like no one could beat me.

GWAR "Babyraper"

Babyraper, sperm creator Hulking, brutish masturbator Babyraper, emasculator
Fleshy flap valve navigator Never leave me, Babyraper Melted cum ejaculator
Spackled filth evaporator High colonic spackulator the Babyraper the Babyraper
My quest for sex consumes all my life
Being a god I do what i like I know it hurts you when I fuck a child
Cum-sumed with cumming I've simply gone wild
Drinking and drowning in lakes full of lust
I'll still jerk off even when I cum dust My sex is my hatred My penis a tool
My balls are imploding I'm playing the fool My butt crack is folding
The crap that it's holding I heap it all over the stool
Oh, Babyraper I'm the fucking Babyraper I'm the guy who stiffed the waiter
Mangled public flagellator Turgid bowel exaggeratorFleshy flap-valved gladiator


GWAR "Fuckin' An Animal"

Oh I am Fuckin' an animal I'm fuckin' an animal I'm holding on the horns
I'm fuckin' an animal I'm involved with porn I'm fuckin' an animal
Sure is nice and warm in here I'm fuckin' an animal drinking fifty beers
I'm fuckin' an animal blowing fifty steers I'm fuckin' an animal
Oh, I'm a fucking queer I'm fuckin' an animal Didn't have to take her on a date
Just had to stand here on a crate
No talking, no torment, no long-term commitment Just me and animal,
Getting my dick bent I'm fuckin' an animal
Didn't have to say please I'm fuckin' an animal
With Legionnaires disease I'm fuckin' an animal
Damn hard on the knees... I'm fuckin' an animal
Animal fucker, on the loose I'm fuckin' an animal
I'll go from dog to goose I'm fuckin' an animal
Once I fucked a moose I'm fuckin' an animal But now the animal is in pain!
It's in pain, it's in pain, it's in pain (terrible pain).
And now it's starting to rain.... But I'm still the same. I'm fuckin' an animal
Not proud of what I do... I'm fuckin' an animal
Had a great time at the zoo I'm fuckin' an animal
Cause you won't let me fuck you... Animal!

God, there are so many to choose from. One of my faves is from a Mose Allison jazz tune, Lost Mind:

If you would be so kind
To help me find my mind
I wanna thank you in advance
Know this before you start
My souls been torn apart
Lost it in a wild romance

BTW, even though he's a jazz artist, his tunes have been done by well-known rock artists. The Who's Young Man Blues is a cover of a Mose Allison original.

Billie Holiday sang one of the original protest songs in Strange Fruit, recently covered by Tori Amos:

southern trees bear strange fruit
blood on the leaves
blood at the root
black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
pastoral scene of the gallow south
the bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
the scent of magnolia sweet and fresh
then the sudden smell of burning flesh
here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
for the rain to gather
for the wind to suck
for the sun to rot
for the tree to drop
here is a strange and bitter crop

JERK OFF

Someone told me once
that there's a right and wrong,
and that punishment
would come to those
who dare to cross the line.

But it must not be true
for jerk-offs like you.
Maybe it takes longer to catch a total asshole.
but I'm tired of waiting.
Maybe it's just bullshit and I should play GOD,
and shoot you myself.
Because I'm tired of waiting.

Consequences dictate
our course of action
and it doesn't matter what's right.
It's only wrong if you get caught.
If consequences dictate
my course of action
I should play GOD
and shoot you myself.
I'm very tired of waiting.

I should
kick you,
beat you,
fuck you,
and then shoot you in your fucking head.

"The Love Boat"
by Paul Williams and Charles Fox

Love, exciting and new
Come Aboard. We're expecting you.
Love, life's sweetest reward.
Let it flow, it floats back to you.

Love Boat soon will be making another run
The Love Boat promises something for everyone
Set a course for adventure,
Your mind on a new romance.

Love won't hurt anymore
It's an open smile on a friendly shore.
Yes LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! It's LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! (hey-ah!)

Love Boat soon will be making another run
The Love Boat promises something for everyone
Set a course for adventure,
Your mind on a new romance.

Love won't hurt anymore
It's an open smile on a friendly shore.
It's LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! It's LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! It's LOOOOOOOOOOOVE!
It's the Love Boat-ah! It's the Love Boat-ah!
