[Symbolistic_white_boy]

" She alway's used to say ... life's a dirty business , so just be a prick and do it while the world's awake , the world's awake, "

 

" I was made by the Taiwaneise is Taiwan "

 

to very funny lyrics from THE WORKERS SING A SONG

 

"I long to be dead, sleep with the fishes under the sea, they can swim through my head, stop all the traffic jams "

-Fated

 

so many more

couldn't possibly think of them all right now

[miles2025]

If everyone's a casualty

Then take your time there ain't no trouble

If the weather's fine and we're feeling crazy

There's always drinks and dancing in the rubble

I'm spinning and you're spinning

And the world's spinning and we're laughing

And I'm charming, the devil's charming

And we're ruined but we're building

And I'm selling and you're counting

The world's stopping but we keep going

And we're ruthless and we're cunning

And I'm heir to it all

 

Is my absolute favourite...

 

I also like:

 

A robot heart for a theme park world

Whatever keeps us alive

Whatever keeps claim to us being civilized

 

Give it up and they'll love you for it

Give them blood and they'll love you for it

 

There's a TV in every room

And it's free, even Pay Per View

Which you'll need if no one's gonna visit you

Animal, fucking animal

 

I also like basically all of As Long As You're Mine, Parable, Prime Time Deliverance, and 21st Century Living

yeah, i'm not sure if the Jen in Truffle pigs is his wife, it could be just like Jenni's song which is not about Jen Good. I was under the impression that it wasn't, but you never know unless you ask him. hmmm another question i'll forget to ask him the next time i see him.

 

Cheers.

Maybe he just likes that name, I mean he's named a song with that name, used it in his lyrics and gets married to a lady with that name. Hell, he could name his kid that.

Buy in it'll shut you up

Try it, it should should you up

We've brought someone in to shut you up

It's a life's work

 

While we were hunting rabbits

I came upon a clear

The sky its stars like fortune drilled me

Until now I was a soldier

Until now I dealt in fear

These years of cloak and dagger

Have left us disappeared

 

And I dance and I sing

And I'm a monkey in a long line

 

Buy in it should shut you up

Try it, it should should you up

They've brought someone in to shut you up

And its getting to be light work

 

While we were hunting rabbits

I came upon a clear

The sky its stars like fortune filled me

Until now I was a soldier

Until now I dealt in fear

These years of cloak and dagger

Have left us disappeared

 

And I dance and I sing

And I'm a monkey in a long line of kings

And we dance and we sing

And we're all monkey's in a long line

 

I'm just a boat in the ocean

And I'm just a ship lost at sea

[axistomp]

My devil's on rollerskates

Down at the roller rink

Picking up chicks for me

Ones that push and push and push till it hurts- Hello Timebomb

 

Hey

I've been thinking

Why don't we get out of here tonight?

Get in the car and just start driving

Fuck them if they can't take a joke

Right? -House of Smoke and Mirrors

 

I got me a whore head

i got me a day star

i lost me control of myself

and baby i don't want it back

no i don't want to be like that

if this is us in control of ourselves -Man of Action

[Guest jsunC]

i looked out at the bay at the water and the lights,

noticed we had gone to great lengths, but not great heights.

"Fake lightning flashes over a skyline.

A deer in your headlights

So gun it, gun it, gun it, gun it, gun it

We’re singing songs about 21st century living

If hates in your heart, man

You’ll take what you’re given"

21ST CENTURY LIVING

[Sparq]

Among others... Suburbia.

 

there ain't nothing here at all

another day, a week, the mall

and baby if I was in demand

you would be mine

someday this place it going to burn

is your whole life in there waiting?

someday your head is going to turn and you'll realize

i'm missing, do you realize?

...

so you can tell them I'm coming

and hell's coming with me

[matrix]

Ok, question. In Suburbia...he sings

 

Baby, if I was in demand

You would be mine

 

Now, in the lyrics section of the home page, it says...

 

Baby, if I was in demand

You would be mind

 

I've always heard 'You would be MINE', am I mistaken?? Because 'You would be MIND' makes no sense.

Indeed...the lyrics page has some typos.

[matrix]

Good to know, because I was going to download a Desktop screen that had the incorrect lyrics. Boy, would have I look stupid! Ha!

[wmarskell]

jen ill bring them to their knees.

 

if anything...i feel like he really ment that one.

"Dropped off the face of the earth,

Bobby is my hero for that.

Down a hole with the Grinch's antler dog and Yukon Corenlius;

when I'm sober, I need this."

-Invasion 1

 

"I miss new wave,

and hearing scratches on my long plays--

well, just the parts that sound ok."

-I Miss New Wave

 

"I walk alone, I ride alone, I rock myself to sleep,

and baby there ain't enough room in this world,

for perfections like you, and monsters like me."

-The Fine Art of Falling Apart

 

"And at night I often think about direction,

right after happiness, just before my imperfection."

-Mercy Misses You

 

"Light split the window,

and the wind blew me away

And the sun scraped the distance like

an acceptable mistake

I stared at the road signs

and their possibilities they'd

take me away from you."

-Dancing Invisible

 

Among MANY more. The reason I'm so attracted to so much of Matt's music are his amazing lyrics. The poetry has always been first and fore-most to me... Often times the actual music is fairly average.

[Baby Faced Assassin]

my favs...

 

"maybe if i was in demand... you would be mine" - suburbia

 

"Its amazing what velocity can do when human beings are in season" a boy and his machine gun

 

"you know i'd love to be your consciencee when it calls" change of season..

 

and my all time favorite

 

"THE GUN IT MAKES YOU LOOK NICER IN A BAD WAY" - RFH

[dingdong]

damn i'll bring them to their knees

[matrix]

It's actually....

 

Jen, I'll bring them to their knees

 

Easily confused, some think it's damn, some think it's then...
