Single Line/verse Of A Song

Recommended Posts

my favorite upbeat, 'get happy' song:

 

everbody's better - mighty mighty bosstones

 

Everybody's better than I am

I think everybody's better than me

And everybody's swell I guess

They're doing well some more or less

Everybody's better than I am I think

 

You know to be king you don't need a castle

To row back to shore can sure be a hassle

Why you walk around with your head low down?

 

Everybody's acting like I don't matter

Everybody's into the act

Too many of them to avoid

It could be that I'm paranoid

I matter as a matter of fact

 

And you know to be king you don't need a castle

To row back to shore can sure be a hassle

 

Why you walk around with your head low down?

The true king rules without a crown

If your boat's afloat after the typhoon

Row it safely back to the lagoon

And nevermind the green grass you won't mow

Or what it is you have or don't to show

Or what it is you can or can't afford

The good are good without reward

You know to be king you don't need a castle

To row back to shore can sure be a hassle

Why you walk around with your head low down

Everybody's better than I am

I think everybody's better than me

And everybody's swell I guess

They're doing well some more or less

Everybody's better than I am I think

Everybody's acting like I don't matter

Everybody's into the act

Too many of them to avoid

It could be that I'm paranoid

I matter as a matter of fact

And you know to be king you don't need a castle

No no! No No! No no no no

To row back to shore can sure be a hassle

You know to be king you don't need a castle

 

 

-and here's a cool bit from "shit outta luck", also by the bosstones:

 

Check the new car out in the mirror

Here comes the fastest man in the traffic jam

A major road rager with a bone to pick

I'll take another quick look and I'm over it

Right you're richer now weren't you happier

When you were shit out of luck

You've got so much but you've forgotten

It's more fun when you don't give a fuck

true music - down by law

 

well ouch! Last night I was bitten by the bug of success

they said your record's doing great, maybe it can even do better yet

so we made a video but I must admit it wasn't me

smiles and lies from the suits and ties that light the big blue screen

well I must admit for just one day

I let all that bullshit get in the way

but I won't do it again

I just want to play true music!

Well the reviews have been great, and I thank all the scribes so sincerely

from the smallest to the biggest fanzines I love you dearly

and college radio I support with all my might

don't tell me what they say in spin cause size don't make it right

but I must admit for just one day

I let all the bullshit get in the way

but it won't happen again

I just want to play ... true music

so don't call me about it on the phone

don't ask me when we're going gold

i'm trying not to think about being bought and sold

well some sell millions, some sell nothing at all

and i've done well, had success and stayed true through it all

but I never did want to own my own limousine

if music had a color, for me it wouldn't be green

well I must admit for just one day

I let all that bullshit get in the way

but it won't happen again

I just want to play .... true music!

drummin dave, hunter up - down by law

 

retro sucks

retro sucks

everything about it sucks

retro sucks

disco sucks

ooh ooh, fuck you

retro sucks

retro sucks

ravers almost suck as much

take those stupid mirror balls

and smash them into bits

 

sam I - down by law

 

waking up at 5 pm

tell the girls you're in a band

hey, it's fucking awesome man

we're hanging out with Sam

 

1944 - down by law

 

well they're just like new dictators

tryin' to tell us what to love

well their opinions they can take and shove

 

goodnight song - down by law

 

look at you sleeping there

I couldn't love anyone or anything more

you really are my angel from heaven

so thanks, god

wish I could tell you how much I love you

a 1,000 times a day

but I hope you can see it in my eyes

every moment that we're awake

and every minute that I dream

I dream of you

god that sounds like such a used line

but fuck it, its true

now most of my words are social

the human condition we all share

and i'm not very good with love songs

but I just saw you sleeping there

and I didn't want to wake you up

but I feel us so strongly right now

thanks for being so great

and thanks for being my friend

I know it's the same for you for me

I love you

etc.

Je t'aime

etc.

When you wake up, let's make out

not very nice lyrics... but intense anyway

 

Mesh - You didn't want me

 

"Because you didn't want me

You never cried for me at all

You didn't love me

You were too far above me

Then you watched me take the fall"

John Campbelljohn - Sydney Steel

 

 

They beat'er 'til she's red & and pound her 'til she's blue

And did that 'til the sun came up like nothing else to do

They rolled'er up and strapped'er tight and shipped her out the door

And hoped tomorrow she's a bridge or maybe something more

 

The sparks are thick as fireflies, the molten metal glows

She'll find a way to kiss you buddy, burnin' through your clothes

You love the work, you hate the work, your back against the wheel

But I never dreamed they'd lock that gate, down at Sydney Steel

 

 

I never thought I'd get into a fuckin' song about workin' in a steel plant as much as I enjoy this track. I actually really enjoy the lyrics.

payolas - eyes of a stranger

 

Cause in nothing there's something I feel

And my heart takes it straight

Or it'll break down again

In your lips I sense a danger

You've got the eyes of a stranger

Have I been sleeping for all these years?

Is it magic that makes you appear?

When you walked in the room I felt my heart race

But you in the food when I look at your face

In your lips I sense a danger

You've got the eyes of a stranger

In your lips I see a danger

You've got the eyes of a stranger

i can never remember who did that, but i like that song.

better off dead - bad religion

 

i'm sorry about the sun

how could I know that you would burn?

and I'm sorry about the moon

how could I know that you'd disapprove

i'll never make the same mistake

the next time I create the universe

i'll make sure we communicate at length

 

infected - bad religion

 

you're clear

as a heavy lead curtain

wanna drill you

like an ocean

 

hooray for me... - bad religion

 

so hooray for me

and fuck you

 

marked - bad religion

 

if I'm a monster

i'm a willing one

this roller coaster ride is an enticing one

on the tip of a continuum flowing wavelike

through disorder

carry me like a vessel to water
