Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
Even with good lyrics i dont think I'd be a fan of inside job. The vocal delivery is a huge turn off, the actual music feels like something a 16 year old (me probably) would write when he first learns guitar, and the song tries to be way bigger than it is.

Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
I kinda liked it till I heard them do Reign Over Me. Then I realized what Inside Job tried to be and completely failed at it.
There's the dog. You can't fake that stuff. Confess with your mouth.

Inside Job tried to be Reign Over Me? It needed a totally different time signature.

Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
Since we're all poets all of a sudden, I'm gonna start a thread titled 'rewrite inside job'
And you write some lyrics for it.
This isn't a pit style defence of the song but I'm just interested what people think is better lyrics(anything seemingly). So you can write lyrics to it and see how we all go.

Since you didn't like the song you have to rewrite it and then we'll supply the lyrics. When Dime comes back in five minutes he can judge the original composition.Strat wrote:dimejinky99 wrote:Since we're all poets all of a sudden, I'm gonna start a thread titled 'rewrite inside job'

Underneath this smile lies hurrr durr
All my hopes and anger hurr and durr
Make myself a hurr, not to shut doors on the durr
Just for today,... I am hurr durr
I will not lose my hurr
It's an inside job hurr durr
How I choose to hurr is how I durr
How I choose to hurr is how I durr
All my hopes and anger hurr and durr

Jorge won already? It was a forgone conclusion.

Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
Um, is this a "If you could have written better lyrics than Mike, you do it!" type argument? Because that's a non-starter. I like Mike, he's a good dude in a cool band. But my stepkids could've written better lyrics than these ones.dimejinky99 wrote:Since we're all poets all of a sudden, I'm gonna start a thread titled 'rewrite inside job'

Nice idea for a thread. Either serious or for laughs. Tweak Pj lyrics to what you think they should be.

Comedians with songs they don't like. And poet laureates on the matter of songs they do.

It's much better to have no fun at all, ever.
