Has potential to be a neverending thread. If you aren't into such things then don't read


Feel free to post lyrics or fragments if you like. There is a similar thread on the GB started by Lexie. I give credit where its due.

Always a good indicator of my mood

Friday, I'm in Love The Cure (studio version)

I don't care if monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and wednesday too
Thursday i don't care about you
It's friday i'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's friday i'm in love

Saturday wait
And sunday always comes too late
But friday never hesitate...

I don't care if monday's black
Tuesday wednesday heart attack
Thursday never looking back
It's friday i'm in love

Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday wednesday stay in bed
Or thursday watch the walls instead
It's friday i'm in love

Saturday wait
And sunday always comes too late
But friday never hesitate...

Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
And as sleek as a shriek
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's friday
I'm in love

Put the Bone In

Soul Asylum, 1988



Put the bone in,
she said at the store.
My doggie's been hit by a car.
And I do want to bring him
home something
So put the Bone in,
she yelled out once more.

Put the bone in,
she begged,
as she paced across the floor.
Put the bone in,
she yelled out once more.

Hungry Like The Wolf Duran Duran

(ha ha!)

Dark in the city, night is a wire
Steam in the subway, earth is a fire
Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do
Woman you want me, give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind
Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do

In touch with the ground
I’m on the hunt I’m after you
Smell like I sound, I’m lost in a crowd
And I’m hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line, in discord and rhyme
I’m on the hunt I’m after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I’m hungry like the wolf

Stalked in the forest, too close to hide
I’ll be upon you by the moonlight side
Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do
High blood drumming ony our skin it’s so tight
You feel my heart, I’m just a moment behind
Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do

In touch with the ground
I’m on the hunt I’m after you
Scent and a sound, I’m lost and I’m found
And I’m hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it’s discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I’m after you
Mouth is alive all running inside
And I’m hungry like the wolf

-

(hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf)

Burning the ground I break from the crowd
I’m on the hunt I’m after you
I smell like I sound, I’m lost and I’m found
And I’m hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it’s discord and rhyme
I’m on the hunt I’m after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I’m hungry like the wolf

Burning the ground I break from the crowd
I’m on the hunt I’m after you
Scent and a sound, I’m lost and I’m found
And I’m hungry like the wolf

Strut on a line, it’s discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I’m after you
Mouth is alive all running inside
And I’m hungry like the wolf...

Figured You Out
nickelback

I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favorite damn disease

And I love the places that we go
And I love the people that you know
And I love the way you can't say "No"
Too many long lines in a row
I love the powder on your nose

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out

Now I did, you wonder why
I like the freckles on your chest
And I like the way you like me best
And I like the way you're not impressed
While you put me to the test

I like the white stains on your dress
I love the way you pass the check
And I love the good times that you wreck

And I love your lack of self respect
While you're passed out on the deck
I love my hands around your neck


And I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out

Now I did, you wonder why
Why not before, you never tried
Gone for good, and this is it

I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favorite damn disease

And I hate the places that we go
And I hate the people that you know
And I hate the way you can't say "No"
Too many long lines in a row
I hate the powder on your nose

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out

Now I did, you wonder why
Why not before, you never tried
Gone for good, and this is it

Box Full of Letters
Wilco



I've got a box full of letters
Think you might like to read
Some things that you might like to see
But they're all addressed to me

I wish I had a lotta answers
'Cause that's the way it should be
For all these questions
Being directed at me

I just can't find the time
To write my mind
The way I want it to read

You'll come back again
And I'll still be your friend

I've got a lot of your records
In a separate stack
Some things that I might like to hear, but I
Guess I'll give 'em back

I wish I had a lotta answers
'Cause that's the way it should be
For all these questions
Being directed at me

Just can't find the time
To write my mind
The way I want it to read

You'll come back again
And I'll still be your friend

I can't find the time
To write my mind
The way I want it to read

Just can't find the time
To write my mind
The way I want it to read

Words Missing Persons

Do you hear me?
Do you care?
Do you hear me?
Do you care?

My lips are moving but no sounds coming out
The words are audible but i have my doubts
That you realise what has been said

You look at me as if you're in a daze
It's like the feeling at the end of the page when you realize
You don't know what you just read.

What are words for
When no one listens anymore
What are words for
When no one listens what are words for
When no one listens
There's no use talking at all.

I might as well go up and talk to a wall
Coz all the words are having no effect at all
It's a funny thing.. am i all alone?

Something has to happen to change the direction
What little filters though is giving you the wrong impression
"it's a sorry state" I say to myself

What are words for
When noone listens anymore
What are words for
When no one listens what are words for
When no one listens
There's no use talking at all.

Do you hear me?
Do you care?
Do you hear me?
Do you care?

Let me get by over your dead body
Hope to see you soon
When will i know?
Doors three feet wide with no locks open
Walking always backwards in faces of strangers
Time could be my friend
But it's less then nowhere now....

Pursue it any further and another thing you'll find
Not only are they deaf and dumb they could be going blind
No one notices
I think i'll dye my hair blue.

Media overload bombarding you with action
It's getting near impossible to cause distraction
someone answer me.. before i pull up the plug.

What are words for
When noone listens anymore
What are words for
When no one listens what are words for
When no one listens
There's no use talking at all.

Do you hear me?
Do you care?
Do you hear me?
Do you care?
Do you hear me?
Do you care?
Do you hear me?
Do you care

To the one I love...

Bird, bird, bird.
B-B-buh-bird!
Bird, bird, bird.
B-B-buh-bird!

Oh, Bird, bird, bird.
B-B-buh-bird!
Bird, bird, bird.
B-B-buh-bird!

Oh, have you heard about the bird?
Everyone’s saying that the bird is the word!

Buh-buh-buh bird, bird, bird.
Bird is the word.



An early example of concrete poetry's influence in mid-sixties rock music, by the Trashmen, from their hit, “Surfin’ Bird”.

Depeche Mode's Strangelove

There'll be times
When my crimes
Will seem almost unforgivable
I give in to sin
Because you have to make this life liveable
But when you think I've had enough
From your sea of love
I'll take more than another riverfull
And I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile

Strangelove
Strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove
That's how my love goes
Strangelove
Will you give it to me
Will you take the pain
I will give to you
Again and again
And will you return it

There'll be days
When I'll stray
I may appear to be
Constantly out of reach
I give in to sin
Because I like to practise what I preach
I'm not trying to say
I'll have it all my way
I'm always willing to learn
When you've got something to teach
And I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile

Pain will you return it
I'll say it again -- pain
Pain will you return it
I won't say it again

I give in
Again and again
I give in
Will you give it to me
I give in
I'll say it again
I give in

I give in
Again and again
I give in
That's how my love goes
I give in
I'll say it again
I give in


for J, get your ass out of bed, baby.

Re: To the one I love...

Bird, bird, bird.
B-B-buh-bird!
Bird, bird, bird.
B-B-buh-bird!

Oh, Bird, bird, bird.
B-B-buh-bird!
Bird, bird, bird.
B-B-buh-bird!

Oh, have you heard about the bird?

Buh-buh-buh bird, bird, bird.
Bird is the word.

This is reminiscent of some dog poetry in the book, "Unleashed: Poems by Writers' Dogs." My favorite piece is by an English Bulldog (owned by a writer whose name I can't recall):

Are you gonna eat that?
Are you gonna eat that?
Are you gonna eat that?

I'd like to eat that.

Coming from you that's high praise!

It's a gift from the goddess.

You catch on real quick.

Yes, I'm rather clever like that.

Well, I'm glad to see that the General Board doesn't have a monopoly on cunty behaviour.
