AIGHT, SO I LOVE GOOD SONG LYRICS. IT'S PROBABLY WHAT GETS ME INTO MUSIC THE MOST. IT'S WHY I LISTEN TO MUSIC LIKE BOB BY NOFX, OR PIANO MAN BY BILLY JOEL. I GO ALL OVER THE BOARD WHEN IT COMES TO MUSIC I LISTEN TO, BUT THEY ALL HAVE DAMN GOOD LYRICS, WHICH TELL ME A STORY, WHICH MAKES ME LOVE THEM. I'LL LISTEN TO DAMN NEAR ANYTHING IF I THINK IT HAS A GOOD STORY OR MEANING TO IT. LIKE BECK, I KNOW HIS SONG LOSER IS WHAT EVERYONE LIKED, BUT I THINK THE SONG PAY NO MIND HAD BETTER LYRICS.
Pay No Mind (Snoozer) [Version (d)]:
Tonight the city is full of morgues
And all the toilets are overflowing
There's shopping malls coming out of the walls
As we walk out among the manure
That's why I pay no mind, I pay no mind, I pay no mind
Somebody burned down the picnic
Somebody kissed their own ass by mistake
The cliches are turning into people
With a greeting card glued to their face
That's why I pay no mind, pay no mind, pay no mind
Give the finger to the rock and roll singer
As he's dancing upon your paycheck
The sales climb high through the garbage pail sky
Like a giant dildo crushing the sun
That's why I pay no mind, I sleep in slime, I just got signed
So get out your leadpipe pipe dreams
Get out your ten-foot flags
The insects are huge and the poison's all been used
And the drugs won't kill your day job, honey
That's why I pay no mind, I pay no mind, I pay no mind
That's why I pay no mind, pay no mind, pay no mind
I pay no mind, pay no mind, pay no mind
I MEAN REALLY, I LIKE LOTS OF BANDS LIKE THIS. SUBLIME, EVERYONE LIKED WHAT I GOT, I WAS MORE A FAN OF JOHNNY BUTT BURRITO. THE SONG JUST HAD ME THINKING MORE.
Johnny Butt was a man with a real strong will to survive
He just keep pushin' on even though he was barely alive
So shoot it up shoot it up it just don't matter
Johnny says he wants go do it
Says he wants to kill a cop
We've got a brand new dance it's called we've got to overcome
We've got a brand new dance it's called we've got to overcome
So Johnny just keep pushin' cause the streets are yours
There'll come a day when all that shit won't matter
So shoot it up shoot it up it just don't matter
When you're resisting anyway
We've got a brand new dance it's called we've got to overcome
We've got a brand new dance it's called we've got to overcome
So Johnny just keep on pushin' cause the streets are yours
There'll come a day when all of that shit won't matter
So shoot it up shoot it up it just don't matter resisting anyway
We've got a brand new dance it's called we've got to overcome
We've got a brand new dance it's called we've got to overcome
I MEAN IT'S STUFF LIKE THAT I GET INTO. THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG. ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES BEING GLORY DAYS BY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN. SOMETHING ABOUT IT JUST RINGS TRUE.
I had a friend was a big baseball player
back in high school
He could throw that speedball by you
Make you look like a fool boy
Saw him the other night at this roadside bar
I was walking in, he was walking out
We went back inside sat down had a few drinks
but all he kept talking about was
Chorus:
Glory days well they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days
Well there's a girl that lives up the block
back in school she could turn all the boy's heads
Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by
and have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed
Her and her husband Bobby well they split up
I guess it's two years gone by now
We just sit around talking about the old times,
she says when she feels like crying
she starts laughing thinking about
Chorus
My old man worked 20 years on the line
and they let him go
Now everywhere he goes out looking for work
they just tell him that he's too old
I was 9 nine years old and he was working at the
Metuchen Ford plant assembly line
Now he just sits on a stool down at the Legion hall
but I can tell what's on his mind
Glory days yeah goin back
Glory days aw he ain't never had
Glory days, glory days
Now I think I'm going down to the well tonight
and I'm going to drink till I get my fill
And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it
but I probably will
Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture
a little of the glory of, well time slips away
and leaves you with nothing mister but
boring stories of glory days
I MEAN DAMN THATS JUST GOOD STUFF. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, AND THIS ONE IS OUT OF LEFT FIELD FOR WHY I LIKE IT, BUT THE SONG BY BLUE OCTOBER CALLED HATE ME. SOMETHIGN ABOUT WHAT IS BEING SAID IN THE SONG JUST MAKES ME SAY DAMN. I'LL END THIS LITTLE DRUNKEN RANT WITH THESE LYRICS. PEACE OUT AND SHIT.-BILL.
I have to block out thoughts of you so I don’t lose my head
They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I’m alone
Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you.
Will you never call again?
And will you never say that you loved me just to put it in my face?
And will you never try to reach me? It is I that wanted space
Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you
Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you
I’m sober now for 3 whole months it’s one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won’t touch again
In my sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
So I’ll drive so fucking far away that I never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind
Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you
Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you
And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I had made
And like a baby boy I never was a man
Until I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand
And then I fell down yelling “Make it go away!”
Just make a smile come back and shine just like it used to be
And then she whispered “How can you do this to me?”
Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you
Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you
For you
For you
For you
