not just "neat" ones, but ones that really mean something

like;

 

 

tim mc graw-angry all the time

 

Here we are

What is left of a husband and a wife four good kids

Who have a way of gettin on with their lives

I'm not old but I'm getting a whole lot older every day

It's too late to keep from goin' crazy

I got to get away

 

The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love

And I understand that lovin a man shouldn't have to be this rough

You ain't the only one Who feels like this world left you far behind

I don't know why you gotta be Angry All The Time

 

Our boys are strong the spittin image of you when you were young

I hope someday they can see past what you have become

I remember every time I said I'd never leave

What I can't live with is memories of the way you used to be

 

The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love

And I understand that lovin a man shouldn't have to be this rough

You ain't the only one Who feels like this world left you far behind

I don't know why you gotta be Angry All The Time

 

Twenty years have came and went since I walked out of your door

I never quite made it back to the one I was before

And God it hurts me to think of you

For the light in your eyes was gone sometimes

I don't know why this old world can't leave well enough alone

 

The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love

And I understand that lovin a man shouldn't have to be this rough

You ain't the only one Who feels like this world left you far behind

I don't know why you gotta be Angry All The Time

 

i've just discovered these guys;

the verve pipe-the freshmen

 

 

When I was young and knew everything

And she a punk who rarely ever took advice

Now I'm guilt stricken,

Sobbing with my head on the floor

Stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice

 

I can't be held responsible

Cause she was touching her face

I won't be held responsible

She fell in love in the first place

 

(chorus)For the life of me I cannot remember

What made us think that we were wise and

We'd never comprimise

For the life of me cannot believe

We'd ever die for these sins

We were merely freshman

 

My best friend took a week's

Vacation to forget her

His girl took a week's worth of

Valium and slept

Now he's guilt stricken sobbing with his

Head on the floor

Think's about her now and how he never really

Wept he says

 

(chorus)

 

We've tried to wash our hands of all of this

We never talk of our lacking relationships

And how we're guilt stricken sobbing with our

Heads on the floor

We fell through the ice when we tried not to

Slip, we'd say

everyone interprets songs differently

 

some people only listen to them FOR the lyrics, the music is meaningless. some people are there for the music, the lyrics are a superfluous addition that doesn't really matter. some people like both, or think that both go hand in hand. and sometimes it's different for different songs

 

for me, just posting a big bunch of words with no music is pointless *shrug* just how i am

Mikey....

Trust me.. I read the lyrics...

Very deep stuff... Believe me, I've written song lyrics and poetry for over 8 years now... I think I know what to look out for "in between the lines" with ANY words of expression.

 

Gets my :S pf approval when you read about the pain in this song.

I should post up some of my material in here...

I'll sleep on it ;)

Agreed^^^^^ I'm sick of the song itself because its been overplayed (the blokes at work listen to FOX FM all day..............bloody 20 song playlist arghhhhh).

However the lyrics are the one thing that make me listen to it, if it comes on the radio still.

 

I used to listen to alot of Silverchair and Nirvana when i was in my teens. Some of those lyrics are interesting.

Hate is what I feel for you,

And I want you to know that I want you dead.

You're late for the execution...

If you're not here soon, I'll kill your friend instead.

 

These days the old 60's and 70's rock 'n roll does it for me.

Favourite all time band for pure listening pleasure would have to "Creedence Clearwater Revival". Most of their songs have great lyrics about events during those times, and the music is somwhat iconic.

I know that verse!

Israel's Son - Silverchair (Frogstomp album-best one I reckon)

Those boys always said "I hate you" in alot of their songs :S hahaha

 

Actually, off Nickelback's Album. I love their song "Savin' Me"

 

Prison gates won't open up for me

On these hands and knees I'm crawlin'

Oh, I reach for you

Well I'm terrified of these four walls

These iron bars can't hold my soul in

All I need is you

Come please I'm callin'

And oh I scream for you

Hurry I'm fallin'

 

[CHORUS]

Show me what it's like

To be the last one standing

And teach me wrong from right

And I'll show you what I can be

Say it for me

Say it to me

And I'll leave this life behind me

Say it if it's worth saving me

 

Heaven's gates won't open up for me

With these broken wings I'm fallin'

And all I see is you

These city walls ain't got no love for me

I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story

And oh I scream for you

Come please I'm callin'

And all I need from you

Hurry I'm fallin'

tool - stinkfist

 

something, has to change

un-deniable dilemma

boredom's not a burden

anyone should bear

 

constant, over, stimu-lation numbs me

but I would not want you

any other way

 

it's not enough

i need more

nothing seems to satisfy

i said

i don't want it

i just need it

to breathe, to feel, to know i'm alive

 

finger deep within the borderline

show me that you love me and that we belong together

relax, turn around and take my hand

 

i can, help you change

tired moments into pleasure

say the word and we'll be

well upon our way

 

blend and balance

pain and comfort

deep within you

till you will not have me any other way

 

tt's not enough

i need more

nothing seems to satisfy

i don't want it

i just need it

to feel, to breathe, to know I'm alive

 

knuckle deep inside the borderline

this may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to

relax, slip away

 

something kinda sad about

the way that things have come to be

desensitized to everything

what became of subtlety?

 

now how can this mean anything to me

if i really don't feel a thing at all?

 

i'll

keep

digging

 

till I

feel

something

 

elbow deep inside the borderline

show me that you love me and that we belong together

shoulder deep within the borderline

relax, turn around and take my hand

i dunno what it is but there is something about this song that strikes a nerve in me, just love it

 

Miss You Love - Silverchair

 

Millionaire say

Got a big shot deal

And thrown it all away but

But I'm not too sure

How I'm supposed to feel

Or what I'm supposed to say

But I'm not, not sure,

Not too sure how it feels

To handle every day

And I miss you love

 

Make room for the prey

'Cause I'm coming in

With what I wanna say but

It's gonna hurt

And I love the pain

A breeding ground for hate but...

I'm not, not sure,

Not too sure how it feels

To handle everyday

Like the one that just passed

In the crowds of all the people

Remember today

I've no respect for you

And I miss you love

And I miss you love

 

probably not as deep as some of the others, but everyone finds things different.

 

oh heres on that actually brings a tear to my eye

Cat Stevens - Cats And The Cradle Lyrics

A child arrived just the other day

Came to the world in the usual way

But there were planed to catch, and bills to pay

He learned to walk while I was away

He was talking before I knew It

And as he grew

He said, "I'm gonna be like you, Dad you know I'm gonna be like

you"

 

(chorus)

And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon

Little boy blue and the man in the moon

When you comin home son I don't know when, We'll get together

then

You know we'll have a good time then.

 

My son turned ten just the other day

He said "thanks for the ball dad, come on lets play

can you teach me to throw?"

I said "Not today, Ive got alot to do"

He said "Thats okay"

He walked away and he smiled and he said

"you know I'm gonna be like you, dad

you know I'm gonna be like you......"

 

(chorus)

 

He came from college just the other day

So much like a man I just had to say

"Son I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?"

He shook his head, and he said with a smile

"What I'm feeling like dad, is to borrow the car keys

See you later, can I have them please?"

 

(chorus)

 

Ive long since retired, my son has moved away

I called him up just the other day

I said "Id like to see you if you don't mind"

He said "Id love to dad If I could find the time.

You see my new jobs a hassle, and the kids have the flu.

But Its sure nice talking to you, dad, Its been sure nice

talking to you........"

And as he hung up the phone It had occured to me

He'd grown up just like me, my boy, was just like

me..............

 

(chorus)

 

i guess it just reminds me of my relationship with dad so much.

might leave this before i start crying lol

i definitely think that song is as deep as a song can go for me

catch :S
