All of "Like a Rolling Stone" or "Imagine" (Bob Dylan and John Lennon respectively, if you know nothing about music).

Fun Fact, David Cassidy sang "Imagine at my school's band/chorus concert. I wasn't there, but I heard it described as a crime against music.
"Fuck it man, you just gotta do it."

If you spread your love around, the secrets of your dreams, you may find your love is gone, no longer what it seems.
-Billy Corgan

lifes a breeze when you're close
i suffocate when you're far away
you know i love you the most
rays of light in the clouds of grey

I'm told the eventual downfall
Is just a bill from the restaurant
You told me I could order the moon babe
Just as long as I shoot what I want

[...]

The tune you'll be humming forever
All the words are replaced and wrong
With a shower of yeahs and whatevers
You trade me away long gone
-- New Pornographers, Letter from an Occupant

I'm not the best at what I do
But its cool
-- Heiruspecs, And

These are the photos that I kept
Thats me crumbling bereft
But your still smiling on my left
So its not so serious I guess
-- Superchunk, Honey Bee

Why is it like this? Why the fuck do I care
I don't have the answers at least not the ones you wanna hear
City lights look like bright loops of fireflies
many see the truth the proof only when the liar days
-- C-Rayz-Walz, Bent Life (Aesop Rock f. C-Rayz-Walz)

Spittin like a bionic sneeze that freeze vodka
Just to clear the air like the ionic breeze quadra
-- MF Doom, Beat Mouse

There you were
you were boy with all the walls
and so she took her sugar elsewhere
while you shuffled in the light of day
she left you for the undertaker
with a sensitive side
he'd say baby morgues are people too
-- Subtle, She (probably got a lot of words wrong)

Well I'll just stop for now...

I've only heard this song 3 times in my life. The first time I heard it was on the radio, and it made me cry. I don't cry often.

The second time I heard it, I had been thinking of it, and just after that thought, it was the next song on the radio. This isn't a top 40 hit, by the way. So, that was STRANGE for me to think of it, and for it to come on immediately. It also made me cry that time.

The third time I heard it, I was at Falcon Ridge folk festival in downstate NY, by woodstock. a friend of mine, a fellow musician that I really respect, suggested I check out this act, so I was listening with her, and the singer started playing this song. Turns out it was written by her dead husband.

So, thrice, it's snuck up on me. If you read all these lyrics, think about your life, think about the world around you. It is a SCARY, sad song.

Hey Ho, by Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer

tv’s on, the favorite son
is watchin how the west was won
daddy, please, a plastic gun
get brother one for twice the fun

little camo helmet-heads
makin brave and playin dead
missiles made of gingerbread
dollars on the dime

hey ho, so it goes, the point of sale, the puppet show
the merchant kings of war and woe have turned their hands to labor
sound out the trumpet noise, the cannons bark and jump for joy
someone’s dread and darlin boy has fallen on his saber

another world across the sea
home for little busy bees
sweatin in some factory
hurry, please, more of these

action dolls with laser sights
robot planes that shoot at night
faster, kid, and get it right
they’re rollin down the line

hey ho, so it goes, the point of sale, the puppet show
the merchant kings of war and woe have turned their hands to labor
sound out the trumpet noise, the cannons bark and jump for joy
someone’s dread and darlin boy has fallen on his saber

these days the spin machine
is always on the silver screen
secret plots and submarines
foreign fiends and magazines

wave the flag, watch the news
tell us we can count on you
mom and dad are marchin too
children, step in time

hey ho, so it goes, the point of sale, the puppet show
the merchant kings of war and woe have turned their hands to labor
sound out the trumpet noise, the cannons bark and jump for joy
someone’s dread and darlin boy has fallen on his saber

bring your kids and coddled pets
bouncin babes in bassinets
we’ll play a game with tanks and jets
better yet – bayonets!

marchin bands and color guards
funerals in your own backyard
don’t forget your credit card –
johnny, hold the line

hey ho, so it goes, the point of sale, the puppet show
the merchant kings of war and woe have turned their hands to labor
sound out the trumpet noise, the cannons bark and jump for joy
someone’s dread and darlin boy has fallen on his saber

Here is another song that makes me cry. It is 'Eulogy', by Tool. as far as I can tell, it's about Jesus Christ, from the point of view of a politician who has used jesus, and began to find him annoying, and had a hand in his death. This tune is INTENSE...


He had alot to say.
He had alot of nothing to say.
We'll miss him.

So long.
We wish you well.
You told us how you weren't afraid to die.
Well then, so long.
Don't cry.
Or feel too down.
Not all martyrs see divinity.
But at least you tried.

Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice that was strong and loud.
We'll miss him.
Ranting and pointing his finger
At everything but his heart.
We'll miss him.

No way to recall
What it was that you had said to me,
Like I care at all.

So loud.
You sure could yell.
You took a stand on every little thing
And so loud.

Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice so strong and loud and I
Swallowed his facade cuz I'm so
Eager to identify with
Someone above the ground,
Someone who seemed to feel the same,
Someone prepared to lead the way, with
Someone who would die for me.

Will you? Will you now?
Would you die for me?
Don't you fuckin lie.

Don't you step out of line.
Don't you fuckin lie.

You've claimed all this time that you would die for me.
Why then are you so surprised to hear your own eulogy?

You had alot to say.
You had alot of nothing to say.

Come down.
Get off your fuckin cross.
We need the fuckin space to nail the next fool martyr.

To ascend you must die.
You must be crucified
For your sins and your lies. [sic]
Goodbye...
BRICK!

All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon

I brought my bitch out the Pathmark, she's pushing the cart
Headed to aisle four, damn I got milk on my Clark's
That's what I get, not focusing, from hitting that bar
My mouth dried, need plenty water quick, I feel like a shark
In the aisle, busting them paper towels and wiping my Wally's dow
I stood up to face a barrel, he's holding a shiny pound
It's him, he want revenge, I murdered his Uncle Tim
I sold Tim a bag of dope, his wife came and copped again
That bitch is crazy and uh, she brought her baby
She knew I had the murders, a smack, it killed her man though
Now I got his fucking nephew gripping his gat, "you'se a bitch...
You better kill me... you know you're booty...
You pulled your toolie out on me... motherfucker!"
First thought was to snatch the ratchet, said fuck it and fucking grabbed it
I ducked, he bucked twice, this nigga was fucking laughing
I wrestled him to the ground, tustle, scuffle, constantly kicked him
He wouldn't let go the joint, so I fucking bit him
Shots was whizzing, hitting Clorox bottles
Customers screaming, then this faggot ran out of hollows
I had to show him what it's all about
Next thing you read in the paper
"A man who came to kill, gets knocked out"

I think I'm going to post more lyrics, but my all time favorite passage has been written by Tool for their song Reflection:


So crucify the ego
before it's far too late,
to leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical.
and you will come to find that we are all one mind
capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable
so let the light touch you
and let the words spill through
and let 'em pass right through
bringing out hope and reason.

before we pine away.
Simon Kittlaus aka 季士è

Pearl Jam - Love Boat Captain

Is this just another day,... this God forgotten place?
First comes love, then comes pain. let the games begin,...
Questions rise and answers fall,... insurmountable.

Love boat captain
Take the reigns and steer us towards the clear,... here.
Its already been sung, but it cant be said enough.
All you need is love

Is this just another phase? earthquakes making waves,...
Trying to shake the cancer off? stupid human beings,...
Once you hold the hand of love,.. its all surmountable.

Hold me, and make it the truth,...
That when all is lost there will be you,...
Cause to the universe I dont mean a thing
And theres just one word I still believe
And its

Its an art to live with pain,... mix the light into grey,..
Lost 9 friends well never know,.. 2 years ago today
And if our lives became too long, would it add to our regret?

And the young, they can lose hope cause they cant see beyond today,...
The wisdom that the old cant give away
Hey,...
Constant recoil...
Sometimes life
Dont leave you alone.

Hold me, and make it the truth,...
That when all is lost there will be you.
Cause to the universe I dont mean a thing
And theres just one word that I still believe and its
Love,... love. love. love. love.

Love boat captain
Take the reigns,.. steer us towards the clear.
I know its already been sung,... cant be said enough.
Love is all you need,.. all you need is love,..
Love,.. love,...
Love.

and pass it on

we're so creative

we're high above
but the floor
its not a habit its cool
i feel alive
if you dont have it
you're on
the other side
the deeper you stick it in your vein
the deeper the thoughts theres no more pain
im in heaven im a god
im everywhere
i feel so hot
its not a habit its cool
i feel alive
if you dont have it
you're on
the other side
im not an addict, maybe
thats a lie

its over now
im cold alone
im just a person on my own
nothing means a thing to me
oh nothing means a thing to me
its not a habit its cool
i feel alive
if you dont have it
you're on
the other side
im not an addict, maybe
thats a lie

free me
leave me
watch me as im going down
free me
see me
look at me im falling
im falling

it is not a habit
it is cool i feel alive
i feel ...

I think 99% of song lyrics are shit. Its just a lot of the time the musical merit of the song makes the lyrics seem better than they are.

Were no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitments what I'm thinking of
You wouldnt get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We've know each other for so long
Your hearts been aching
But you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know whats been going on
We know the game and were gonna play it

And if you ask me how Im feeling
Dont tell me youre too blind to see

Give you up. give you up
Give you up, give you up
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, give you up
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, five you up

I just wanna tell you how Im feeling
Gotta make you understand
