"I don't give a fuck about anything.
When I think about the future all I see is it bringing me pain, misery, and poverty."

-Off With Their Heads.

Thats pretty fitting right now.

Right now i am into:
I'm not afraid of all the reasons why we shouldn't try

What happens if the lyrics are actually about you??? That can be a unfortunate byproduct of dating a musician and pissing him off!

[MikeyWretch]

You and weener need to tell me who sings or writes these.

[weener]

Sorry. Mine was Frank Zappa, "What's the Ugliest Part of Your Body."

We stood in your room and laughed out loud.
Suddenly the laughter died
and we were caught in an eye to eye.
We sat on the floor and did we sit close.
I could smell your thoughts and thought.
Do you want to touch a lot like me?
Too scared to say a thing.
I left your house and kicked myself.
I put those feelings on a shelf to die.
I guess I'm not a gambling type
but think of what the two of us had lost.
I needed some time to think it out.
7-Eleven parking lot.
A toothless woman turned and stopped.
I gave her a dime and a Chesterfield.
She leaned down and kissed my cheek.
I was scared but it felt sweet.
Felt so sweet.
She asked me if I had a name.
I told her I was glued up on some chick.
We sat and smoked against the wall.
Drank a beer, felt the chill of fall.
I took my car and drove it down the hill by your house.
I drove so fast.
The wind it couldn't cool me down,
so I turned it around and came back up.
You were waiting on your step,
steam showing off your breath and
water in your eyes.
We pulled each other into one,
parkas clinging on the lawn and kissed right there.
Said all my chicks they smoke these things and handed you a
Chesterfield King.
Held your hand and watched TV
and traced the little lines along your palm.

jawbreaker - chesterfield king

any of you that write lyrics care to chime in?

V1 of my song "Shy 50c5"

I've got no need to go
no need for luck
I don't need anyone
Never needed complacency
all we need is some decency
well, common sense occurs to me.
like the sky, covered sky
taken for granted on this december night
while I live and I smile
right before your frozen breath

V2 & chorus of my song "Dry Eyes" (similar theme, I guess)

I've got nowhere to go, no one I care to see
an inherited madness takes ahold of me
I might be making eyes at some gal I know
but a bettin' man just put his money on me
going home
I stand on the corner, Roosevelt & Grand
might as well forget this nonsense
and just start a band
I'm not the kind to raise a fuss
I'm not the kind to lie
this might hurt for a little while...
might just say goodbye

But I've been around
and I've been let down
sometimes you swim, sometimes you drown
just try keep your feet on higher ground

[MikeyWretch]

I took my lyrics down for personal reasons.

[Jacki O.]

mine was The Bird and The Bee - My Love.
Im into that song hardcore right now, it speaks to me

[skeksis]

I took my lyrics down for personal reasons.

oh c'mon, I didn't see anything particularly incriminating in those lyrics. :-)

This fits most of the time, sadly:

See the lonely boy out on the weekend
Trying to make it pay
Can't relate to joy, he tries to speak and
Can't begin to say

Neil Young - Out on the Weekend

I'm not a cool guy anymore
As if I ever was before
I took a look at all the signs
Then rolled it over in my mind
The feelings I could not release
Became a bitter part of me
What was I thinking of?
It couldn't stay the way it was
I looked at my reflection
And I saw a stranger's face
I saw where I was going
And I had to walk away
I lost a girl, it's Just as well
She tried to save me from myself
I've still got her on my mind
Tossing and turning in my bed
But if she had stayed another week
I would have dragged her down with me
She took it till she'd had enough
Is that what I thought love was?
I told her see you later
But it's hard to see at all
At the bottom of the barrel
With your back against the wall
I'm not a cool guy anymore
Left it behind, then closed the door
I know you can't escape the past
Now I look back and have to laugh
I was my worst enemy
It almost got the best of me
What was I thinking of?
It couldn't stay the way it was
I looked up one day and saw that
It was up to me
You can only be a victim if you
Admit defeat


Descendents, Coolidge. Of course. If you don't know the whole thing by heart, I doubt you'll ever really know me.
