Frank Zappa "Bobby Brown"

Hey there, people, Im bobby brown
They say Im the cutest boy in town
My car is fast, my teeth is shiney
I tell all the girls they can kiss my heinie
Here I am at a famous school
Im dressin sharp n im
Actin cool
I got a cheerleader here wants to help with my paper
Let her do all the work n maybe later Ill rape her

Oh God I am the american dream
I do not think Im too extreme
An Im a handsome sonofabitch
Im gonna get a good job n be real rich

(get a good
Get a good
Get a good
Get a good job)

Womens liberation
Came creepin across the nation
I tell you people I was not ready
When I fucked this dyke by the name of freddie
She made a little speech then,
Aw, she tried to make me say when
She had my balls in a vice, but she left the dick
I guess its still hooked on, but now it shoots too quick

Oh God I am the american dream
But now I smell like vaseline
An Im a miserable sonofabitch
Am I a boy or a lady...i dont know which

(I wonder wonder
Wonder wonder)

So I went out n bought me a leisure suit
I jingle my change, but Im still kinda cute
Got a job doin radio promo
An none of the jocks can even tell Im a homo
Eventually me n a friend
Sorta drifted along into s&m
I can take about an hour on the tower of power
long as I gets a little golden shower

Oh God I am the american dream
With a spindle up my butt till it makes me scream
An Ill do anything to get ahead
I lay awake nights sayin, thank you, fred!
Oh god, oh god, Im so fantastic!
Thanks to freddie, Im a sexual spastic
And my name is bobby brown
Watch me now, Im goin down,
And my name is bobby brown
Watch me now, Im goin down, etc

The Thin Ice

If you should go skating
On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear-stained eyes
Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet.
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice.

Time

Ticking away the moments that make up the dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find that ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

Perfect Sense, Part I Lyrics


The monkey sat on a pile of stones
And he stared at the broken bone in his hand
And the strains Viennese quartet
Rang out across the land
The monkey looked up at the stars
And he thought to himself
Memory is a stranger
History is for fools
And he cleaned his hands
In a pool of holy writing
Turned his back on the garden
And set out for the nearest town
Hold on hold on soldier
When you add it all up
The tears and marrowbone
There's an ounce of gold
And an ounce of pride in each ledger
And the Germans killed the Jews
And the Jews killed the Arabs
And Arabs killed the hostages
And that is the news
And is it any wonder
That the monkey's confused
He said Mama Mama
The President's a fool
Why do I have to keep reading
These technical manuals
And the joint chiefs of staff
And the brokers on Wall Street said
Don't make us laugh
You're smart kid
Time is linear
Memory's a stranger
History's for fools
Man is a tool in the hands
Of the great God Almighty
And they gave him command
Of a nuclear submarine
And sent him back in search of
The Garden of Eden

Crazy Bitch Buckcherry

Alright
Break me down
You got a lovely face
We're going to your place
and now you got to freak me out
Scream so loud getting F*CKing laid
You wanted me to stay
but I got to make my way

Chorus
Hey you're a crazy bitch
but you F*CK so good I'm on top of it
When I dream I'm doing you all night
Scratches all down my back to keep me right on

(Repeat)

Take it all the paper is your game
You jump in bed with fame
Another one night paid in full
you're so fine it won't be a loss
Cashing in the rocks just to get you face to face

Chorus
Hey you're a crazy bitch
but you F*CK so good I'm on top of it
When I dream I'm doing you all night
Scratches all down my back to keep me right on

(Repeat)

Get the video
F*CK you so good
Get the video
F*CK you so good

Crazy bitch
Crazy bitch
Crazy
Bitch

Chorus
Hey you're a crazy bitch
but you F*CK so good I'm on top of it
When I dream I'm doing you all night
Scratches all down my back to keep me right on

Hey you're a crazy bitch
but you F*CK so good I'm on top of it
When I dream I'm doing you all night
Scratches all down my back
Come on

Baby girl
You want it all
To be a star you'll have to go down
Take it off
No need to talk
You're crazy but I like the way you F*CK me

Chorus
Hey you're a crazy bitch
but you F*CK so good I'm on top of it
When I dream I'm doing you all night
Scratches all down my back to keep me right on

(Repeat)

You keep me right on
[glow=red,2,300]You're crazy but I like the way you F*CK me[/glow]

not gonna quote any lyrics....but I like alot of The Police stuff.

Iron Maiden's lyrics would just draw you in like novel. Some of my favorite lyrics by them are :
'Sanctuary', 'Phantom Of The Opera", "Running Free", "Killers", "Remember Tomorrow" "Children Of The Damned" "22 Acacia Ave." , "The Prisoner' ,"Hallowed Be Thy Name"....you now what I am gonna stop there with Maiden because I will be writing all day.

Early Judas Priest, especailly stuff like "Victim Of Changes" "Beyond The Realms Of Death", "The Rage", etc...

Of coarse Dylan had great lyrics, but the one that stands out for me is 'Masters Of War'

I always loved what Paul McCartney did in The Beatles lyrically. He was a great storyteller and wrote stuff that actually meant something. Some of my favorite lyrics by him are songs like 'She Came In through The Bathroom Window', 'Rocky Racoon', 'Hey Jude', 'Eleanor Rigby', etc. His stuff with The Wings was great to.

Roger Waters almost goes without saying, especially with Floyd.

I think that John Mellancamp had alot of lyrics that meant something to everyday people. Stuff that you really could relate to.

Johnny Cash...nuff said there

That Buckcherry song is great, the first time you hear it, it sticks with you.

Dream On:

Every time I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It goes by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

Yeah, I know nobody knows
where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life
is in books' written pages
Lived and learned from fools and
from sages
You know it's true
All the things come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away

Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year
sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dream comes through
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On

Sing with me, sing for the year
sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me, sing for the year
sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away......

The Wall



I'm woven in a fantasy,
I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen now
Has led me to a wall
And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost
It rises now before me,
A dark and silent barrier between,
All I am, and all that I would ever want be
It's just a travesty,
Towering, marking off the boundaries my spirit
Would erase

To pass beyond is what I seek
I fear that I may be too weak
And those are few who've seen it
Through to glimpse the other side,
The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride
The moment is a masterpiece,
The weight of indecision's in the air
It's standing there, the symbol and the sum of all that's me
It's just a travesty,
Towering, blocking out the light and blinding me
I want to see


Gold and diamonds cast a spell,
It's not for me I know it well
The riches that I seek
Are waiting on the other side
There's more than I can measure in the treasure of the love that I can find
And though it's always been with me,
I must tear down the Wall and let it be
All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be, in harmony
Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross
There is no loss

[Scott]

Cheyenne Anthem



From the mountains to the sun, life has only just begun
We wed this land and pledge our souls to meet its end,
Life has only just begun
Here my people roam the earth, in the kingdom of our birth
Where the dust of all our horses hides the sun
We are mighty on the earth, on the earth

You have come to move me, take me from my ancient home,
Land of my fathers I can't leave you now
We will share it with you, no man owns this earth we're on
Now the wheels are rolling, hear the howling winds of war
It's my destiny to fight and die
Is there no solution, can we find no other way, Lord let me stay
Under the endless sky and the earth below
Here I was born to live and I will never go, oh no

But we cannot endure like the earth and the mountains
Life is not ours to keep, for a new sun is rising

Soon these days shall pass away, for our freedom we must pay
All our words and deeds are carried on the wind,
In the ground our bodies lay, here we'll stay

[Scott]

And this one's for Sandi...


Big Ten Inch Record


Got me the strangest woman
Believe it, this chick's no sinch
When I wanna get her goin'
Then I whip out my Big Ten Inch

Record of the band that plays the blues
Well the band that plays the blues
She just loved my Big Ten Inch
Record of her favorite blues

Last night I tried to tease her
I gave my love a little pinch
But she said now stop that jivin
now whip out your big ten-inch

Record of the band that plays the blues
Well the band that plays the blues
She just loved my Big Ten Inch
Record of her favorite blues

I'll cover her with kisses
and when we're in a lover's clinch
she gets all excited
when she puts on my big ten-inch

Record of the band that plays the blues
Well the band that plays the blues
She just loved my Big Ten Inch
Record of her favorite blues

My gal don't go smokin'
and liquor just makes her flinch
Seems she don't go for nothin'
'cept for my big ten-inch

Record of the band that plays the blues
Band that plays the blues
She just loved my Big Ten Inch
Record of her favorite blues

Good call Duojett with the mention of The Police lyrics!
...uhmmm with the exception of De Do Do Do...haha.

I'm different in the sense that when it comes to music, most song lyrics take a back seat to the beat, melody, harmonies, instruments, etc. involved.

However, the lyrics from folks such as Harry Chapin, Dan Fogelberg, Cat Stevens, Kate Bush or Roger Hodgson for example, now emphasize the lyrical part of the song for me. Whether it's because the music is a wee bit more subdued in it's intensity and allows me to focus more on the lyrics instead???...I don't know???

Thanks
Kim

I'm not the biggest Pearl Jam fan
but I love the following line from "Wish List":

....I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good.....I wish I was the full moon shining off a Camaro's hood....[/color]
