words are cool. sorry to be such a nerd, but they are.
i’m not particularly musical, in fact i’m more standard grade with all of that. a musical laggard. but i still get off on lyrics sometimes, that’s just the word nerd in me.
i heard some cool lyrics today:
‘i used to be love drunk, now i’m hungover’.
(‘Love Drunk’ by Boys Like Girls)
nice, right? clever.
then there’s this classic bit of non-genius to remind us that not all rhyming lyrics are good lyrics:
‘I don’t want to see a ghost,
It’s a sight that I fear most
I’d rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news
CHORUS:
Life, oh life, oh life,
oh life,
doo, doot doot dooo.
Life, oh life, oh life,
oh life,
doo, doot dooo’
‘life’ by Des’ree -I don’t want to see a ghost, i’d rather have a piece of toast. slow day at the piano Des’ree? (why the apostrophe, is something missing in the middle there? like is it really deslisaree? and should one pronounce it ‘Dezreeeee’?)
back to the higher grade lyrics. i think these ones by weezer are amazing:
‘You make me come,
you make me complete,
you make me completely miserable.’
pretty cool
(unless you’re the girl they’re singing about, then not so cool.
unless you’re that girl and it’s your aim to make boys miserable, then cool again.)
i’m fishing for lyrics today. anyone out there want to punt any other cool/uncool ones?
“She Hates Me”
Met a girl, thought she was grand
fell in love, found out first hand
went well for a week or two
then it all came unglued
In a trap, trip I can’t grip
never thought I’d be the one who’d slip
then I started to realize
I was living one big lie
She fucking hates me
trust
she fucking hates me
la la la love
I tried too hard
and she tore my feelings like I had none
and ripped them away
She was queen for about an hour
after that shit got sour
she took all I ever had
no sign of guilt
no feeling of bad, no
In a trap, trip I can’t grip
never thought I’d be the one who’d slip
then I started to realize
I was living one big lie
She was queen for about an hour
after that shit got sour
i like that.
There’s a she wolf in your closet
Open up and set her free (a-ooh)
There’s a she wolf in your closet
Let it out so it can breathe (aaahh)
What the f@ck is this woman on about!?!?
Johnny Cash – Folsom Prison Blues
When I was just a baby, my mama told me “Son,
Always be a good boy, don’t ever play with guns.”
But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.
justin is she a lesbian, but she’s still in the closet? mebbe? or maybe she’s just got hairy palms? dunno?
Justin….its a woman…….good luck in working it out. oh wait….nah
Damn, Son! Ya’ll got me straight trippin’!
