Lyrics. Two lines maximum. Theme: optional. Credit tag: optional.

One lyric post per day limit. Penalty for violation will change daily. (Smarmy comments are without limits, as usual.)

First poster after midnight determines that day's violation penalty.

Like sitting both for HomeDad's AND Ken's kids (in a single room @ Motel 6 in Needles) while they're each away for two weeks in Hawaii. And I know that some of you probably were never limited to only two lines, but the 80's ended 20 years ago. Get over it!

"Was convicted of theft when I slipped from the womb.
They led me straight from my mother to a cell in the Tombs."

"And then I, mowed my lawn on a John Deere tracter.
Rockin out to the tunes from a guy named Mic Jager."

"Eating pizza with gizzards and fish,"
"I was the only one caught licking the dish."

If I had a gun
There'd be no tomorrow.

for Adrian

Your lips move,
But I can't hear what you're saying.

for Ken

In a world of make believe,
that don't believe in me

"In the town where I was born lived a man who sailed the seas.
And he told me of his life in the land of submarines."

4 lines, but I cheated a little.

These collection of lyrics isn't far from the normal dialogue found within a typical thread

That's only one line.

It was a hot summer night in mid July.
A hangover and a black eye.

Hey, if we can cheat 4 lines into two, then I want a do-over.

Or else I know what I'm quoting tomorrow.

Don't worry, I'll fix it...

"These collection of lyrics isn't far from the normal dialogue found within a typical thread.

We shoulda formed a rock band long ago, so all the sex-starved members could be getting themselves some head".







....I'm pretty sure that's where he was going with that.

Not one credit line offered thus far. Interesting...

I was kinda hoping that this might devolve into using a one or two liner deftly chosen to snipe at the previous poster's post.

Adrian's got so much "stuff" swimming around up there and a pretty good retrieval system as well. And he's so not alone here.

"I don't like those; my God what's that?"

We should string all of the lyrcis together and to form one long song.

This is the song that never ends
Yes it goes on and on my friend

"They say California is a recipe for a black hole
and I say I got my best shoes on; I'm ready to go."

Hey, I know her! She's that $100,000 kid!

And IIIIIIII hate you.
And IIIIIIII be-rate you!

Better for us if you don't understand,
Better for me if you don't understand.

Soooweeee. No eat piggie, no eat piggie.
Soooweeee. Poke it and pop it and don't drop it.

My little piggy needed something new
Nothing can stop me now

"And it's a hell of a day when you realize
that the people you despise are keepin' you alive"

Flintstones. Meet the Flintstones.
They're a modern Stone Age fa-mi-leeeee....

So does that mean you or Micah get to dole it out to Peter, Ken, Adrian, et al?

Carnsarnit!

Katstabit!

Well, I'm guilty too.




I herby punish myself with one free VP180 paid for by the other violators.

It's good to be king!

Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm

Ahh ahh ah ah-uh-ah
Ahh ahh ah ah-uh-ah

Bo-ow womp womp
Chick.... chicka chickahhhhh

I used to have a Ford sounded like that when I tried to start it.

and when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him

he said All men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them

Michael Jackson in Disneyland / Don't have to share it with nobody else
Lock the gates, Goofy, take my hand / and lead me through the world of self

- Warren Zevon, Splendid Isolation, 1989

The roses in the window box have tilted to one side,
Everything about this house was born to grow and die.

Actually, with a post @ 1 a.m. yesterday and another yesterday a.m. @ around 11, I guess I was the first person to violate my own rule! Makes sense after all these years of violating myself.
What's another rule?

I'll let he who is without sin cast the first stone my way.
(Boy, that cad's gonna have some 'splainin' to do.)

The toilet stopped up yesterday afternoon
The plumber, he said, never flush a tampoon.

You gave a credit---and that's one of the few lines I recognized!

Who's the "piggie" thing by?

I had to Google...9 Inch Screws or something like that.

Really? It's Trent?

There've already been so many good ones here that I dont know at all. They're intriguing enough that, if the artists aren't rap, hip-hop or opera , I might run out and buy their CD's just for their attitude.

I can give you some attitude for free, Bob.

In iambic pentameter?

Really, I came here just to get some info, but stuck around 'cause of all the "bad attitudes" and puerile behaviors.

Yeah, JP does grow on you in the end!

I can't give attitude in iambic pentameter, but I'll give Beatnik Slang a shot if you play the bongos for me.

I sport a soul patch! Looks like we're in!

Dobie Gillis lives!

Oh we're suppoosed to be quoting other singers? I thought we were supposed to come up with our own lyrics.

Ewwww.

I said "on you," not on me!

'Ewwww' still applies.

"All this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week; I'm a rocket man"

Listen to the tide slowly turning, wash all our heartaches away,
We're part of the fire that is burning and from the ashes we can build another day.

Everyone needs a town a tune a dream to rely on
One to dance to one to scream to survive on

(no, this is not from our national anthem but it's close)

"And it's so cold it's like the cold if you were dead," and then you smiled for a second.

Sometimes you make me feel like I'm living at the edge of the world, like I'm living at the edge of the world.
"It's just the way I smile," you said

"Have no fear;
Underdog is here!"

"DUCK SEASON!!"

"WABBIT SEASON!!"

"Bing! Bing! Bing!"
"Ricochet Rabbit!"

but since it fell into my lot that I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call; goodnight and joy be to you all

The trouble with the Maples - and they're quite convinced they're right -
They say the Oaks are just too lofty, and they grab up all the light!

So the Maples formed a union.
And demanded equal rights.

There is no place to hide
The dreaming tree has died.

I stroke it to the east, I stroke it to the west,
I stroke it to the woman that I love the best.

"Holy Man, Rocker Man, Come on Queenie,
Joker Man, Spider Man, Blue Eyed Meanie"

"They said screw you, oh you bloody young fools,
I could get more sense out of the back end of a mule."

OK!!...in keeping with the two lines "MAX"

The cat's in the bag, the neighbours holler:
"This party's higher than the Eiffel Tower!"

"Another one: See this monkey sitting on a tree, one day, decided to climb down, and run off to the city.

Look at him now, tired and drunk and living on the street... as good as dead, you see, a monkey should know, stay up your tree".

Mamma say, Mamma sah, mamma cusa
You're a vegetable.

You wanna hear about my new obsession
I'm riding high upon a deep depression

- Only Happy When It Rains, Garbage

She puts her make-up on like graffitti on the walls of the heartland.

Billy Joe

And she won't understand why anyone would have to try,
to walk a line when they could fly.

"Sex is natural, sex is good.
No everbody does it, but everybody should"...




- George Micheal


(Thought these lyrics were fitting in this forum since it seems a few of our members haven't been laid since that song was released!)

(Well.... That, and the fact that I've been accused of talking about sex more than the usual forum member does. So I'm just tryng to live up to my name sake)

He got to be a joker
He just do what he please.

Nature abhors a vacuum but what's between your ears?
Your judgment, clouded with fearful thoughts of headlights and a deer – ow!

REM, Man-Sized Wreath

I'm learnin' to fly but I ain't got wings.
Comin' down is the hardest thing.

I wear this crown of thorns Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair

...More Trent, made famous by the Man in Black.

Actually, if you want to quote Trent, then it should be:

"I wear this crown of sh*t Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair"

Do you think that Johnny Cash's version was more famous than NIN's...just curious about your opinion?

You lock the door and throw away the key,
There's someone in my head but it's not me.

I went with the Johnny Cash version since I try to keep my offensive language to a minimum on a public forum. (Yes, I sometimes fail.) However I seem to remember hearing in a JC interview that Trent told him that "thorns" was his original wording prior to publishing.

I think who's version is more popular depends on who you ask. Thousands of dedicated country fans would probably 'thorn' themselves if they discovered who really wrote what they consider Cash's swan song.

In any case, the younger generation probably are most familiar with Sad Kermit's version. Laugh at that if you will until you watch it. It brings at least as many tears as Cash's video.

By the way. Trent is giving away music again. His new band "How to Kill Angels" has a free EP giveaway on the Nine Inch Nails Web sight. It's very much the the same NiN style, dark, industrial electronica but the female singer adds a bit of a new dimension.

I'm not the only soul accused of hit and run.
Tire tracks all across your back, ha, I can see you've had your fun!

No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.
Everybody dies frustrated inside, and that is beautiful.

- They Might Be Giants

If I swallow anything evil,
Put your finger down my throat.
