A thread for great song lyrics

[Bammer]

Blood runs through your veins
That’s where our similarity ends

[Simple Torture]

Out the window in the harbour he saw a little ship
The moon was worn just slightly on the right
They slow danced so the needle wouldn't skip
And he held her till the room was filled with light

[dad]

Out the window in the harbour he saw a little ship
The moon was worn just slightly on the right
They slow danced so the needle wouldn't skip
And he held her till the room was filled with light

man, i miss that dude.

poetry

Am I the only one here tonight
Shakin' my head and thinkin' somethin' ain't right
Is it just me? Am I losin' my mind?
Am I standin' on the edge of the end of time?
Am I the only one? Tell me I'm not
Who thinks they're takin' all the good we got
And turnin' it bad, hell, I'll be damned
I think I'm turnin' into my old man
Am I the only one, willin' to bleed
Or take a bullet for bein' free
Screamin', "What the fuck" at my TV
For tellin' me, yeah, are you tellin' me?
That I'm the only one, willin' to fight
For my love of the red and white
And the blue, burnin' on the ground
Another statue comin' down in a town near you
Watchin' the threads of Old Glory come undone
Am I the only one not brainwashed?
Makin' my way through the land of the lost
Who still gives a shit and worries 'bout his kids
As they try to undo all the things he did?
Am I the only one who can't take no more
Screamin', "If you don't like it, there's the fuckin' door"
This ain't the freedom we've been fightin' for
It was somethin' more, yeah, it was somethin' more
Am I the only one, willin' to fight
For my love of the red and white
And the blue, burnin' on the ground
Another statue comin' down in a town near you
Watchin' the threads of Old Glory come undone
I'm not the only one
I can't be the only one
Am I the only one who quits singin' along
Every time they play a Springsteen song?
Am I the only one sittin' here
Still holdin' on, holdin' back my tears
For the ones who paid with the lives they gave
God bless the U.S.A
I'm not the only one, willin' to fight
For my love of the red and white
And the blue, burnin' on the ground
Another statue comin' down in a town near you
Watchin' the threads of Old Glory come undone
I'm not the only one
I can't be the only one

Took my baby to a picture show
Found a seat in the back row
Sound came up, lights went down
And Rambo he was blowing 'em down
I don't need no gun in my fist baby
All I need is your sweet kiss
To get me feeling like a real man
Feeling like a real man
Well you can beat on your chest
Hell any monkey can
But you got me feeling like a real man
Oh feeling like a real man

Me and my girl Saturday night
It's a late movie on Channel Five
The girls were dropping, they're dropping like flies
To some smooth talking cool walking private eye
I ain't got no nerves of steel
But all I got to know is if your love is real
To get me feeling like a real man
Oh feeling like a real man
Well you can beat on your chest
Hell any monkey can
You got me feeling like a real man
Oh feeling like a real man

Whoa
Hey baby
Na na na na na na na
Oh yeah

Well now I ain't no fighter that's easy to see
And as a lover I ain't going down in history
But when the lights go down and you pull me close
Well I look in your eyes and there's one thing I know
Baby I'll be tough enough
If I can find the guts to give you all my love
Then I'll be feeling like a real man
Feeling like a real man
Well you can beat on your chest
Hell any monkey can
You got me feeling like a real man
Oh feeling like a real man
Yeah I been feeling like a real man
Oh feeling like a real man

Ah ah
You got me feeling baby
You got me feeling baby
You got me
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Don't be afraid
Bring it up, bring it up
Bring it up, bring it up now
Bring it up, bring it up
Bring it up, bring it up, bring it up
Whoa

Hey pretty baby
Na na na na na na na na
Hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo hoo
Hoo hoo
Oh oh
Ah ah

Bruce really does stick out like dog's balls, doesn't he?

Coming to me in the morning, leaving me at night.
Coming to me in the morning, leaving me alone.
You've got that rainbow feel,
But the rainbow has a beard.

Running to me a-cryin', when he throws you out.
Running to me a-cryin', on your own again.
You've got that pure feel,
Such good responses,
But the picture has a mustache.

You're comin' to me with that soulful look on your face.
Coming lookin' like you've never ever done one wrong thing.

You're comin' to me with that soulful look on your face.
You're comin' lookin' like you've never ever done one wrong thing.

So many fantastic colours, I feel in a wonderland.
Many fantastic colours, makes me feel so good.
You've got that pure feel,
Such good responses,
Got that rainbow feel,
But the rainbow has a beard.

[wease]

Twice upon a time
In the valley of the tears
The auctioneer is bidding
For a box of fading years
And the elephants are dancing
On the graves of squealing mice
Anyone for tennis?
Wouldn't that be nice?
And the ice creams are all melting
On the streets of bloody beer
While the beggars stain the pavements
With fluorescent Christmas cheer
And the Bentley-driving guru
Is putting up his price
Anyone for tennis?
Wouldn't that be nice?
And the prophets in the boutiques
Give out messages of hope
With jingle bells and fairy tales
And blind providing scopes
And you can tell that all they're saying
Underneath the pretty lights
Anyone for tennis?
Wouldn't that be nice?
Yellow Buddhist monkeys
Burning brightly at the zoo
You can bring a bowl of rice
And then a glass of water, too
And Fate is setting up the chessboard
While Death rolls out the dice
Anyone for tennis?
Wouldn't that be nice?

Always good to see Aroma of Man alumnus getting mentions round these parts.

[Ello Sailor]

Boredoms in the bathroom
Shaking out the loose teeth
Sally's in the stirrups
Claiming her destiny
And nobody nowhere understands anything
About me
And all my dreams
Lost at sea
Jack it up Judy set your heart alight
Mayfair mistress of the satellites
Misspent youth
Faking up a rampage
To hold off
The real slaves
Paid off and staid
And what you never knew
Can never get to you
So fake it
I'll be your stumbleine
I'll be your super queen
And make you
Jukebox fuck up hanging 'round the drugstore
No matter what you say
He'll be back for more
Mommy's in the manger with the little kids
She's got her reasons
Got my forgets
Of tears and idle threats
Misplaced
And no matter what they do
They can't get to you
So fake it
I'll be your stumbleine
I'll be your super queen
And make you me
Come around Ruby
I could never sleep alone

[Simple Torture]

If you're in heaven then you'll forgive me dear
Because that's what they do up there
If you're in hell
What can I say?
You probably deserved it anyway

[Simple Torture]

There's a man who spoke wonders, though I've never met him
He said, "He who seeks finds and who knocks will be let in"
I think of you in motion and just how close you are getting
And how every little thing anticipates you

[Simple Torture]

Out the window in the harbour he saw a little ship
The moon was worn just slightly on the right
They slow danced so the needle wouldn't skip
And he held her till the room was filled with light

man, i miss that dude.

Listened to this song tonight because I wanted to be fucking murdered.

[epilogue]

These are my new favorite lyrics ever:

In the middle of makin love we notice the time
We both get nervous cause it's way after nine

[surfndestroy]

There is in certain living souls,
a quality of loneliness unspeakable.
So great it must be shared
as company is shared by lesser beings.
Such a loneliness is mine.
So, know by this
that in immensity there is one lonelier than you.

[LetMeSleep]

Gonna raise me an army, some tough sons of bitches
I'll recruit my army from the orphanages

[wease]

Bad luck wind been blowin' at my back
I was born to bring trouble to wherever I'm at
Got the number thirteen tattooed on my neck
When the ink starts to itch
Then the black will turn to red

I was born in the soul of misery
Never had me a name
They just gave me the number
When I was young

[Higgs]

Gonna raise me an army, some tough sons of bitches
I'll recruit my army from the orphanages

I got the pork chops, she got the pie
She ain't no angel and neither am I
Shame on your greed, shame on your wicked schemes
I'll say this, I don't give a damn about your dreams

[Norah]

Is your muffin buttered? Would you like us to assign someone to butter your muffin?

[Higgs]
