Rate the Lyrics

[Posher778]

Basically, someone posts the lyrics to a song, and the next person rates the lyrics (not the band, or whatever you love/hate about them or the song, just the lyrics) on a scale of 1-10. Then post new lyrics, etc, etc...




This is morning
That's when I spend the most time
Thinking 'bout what I've given up
This is a warning
When you start the day just to close the curtains
You're thinking 'bout what I've given up

Where are you now?
As I'm swimming through the stereo
I'm writing you a symphony of sound
Where are you now?
As I rearrange the songs again
This mix could burn a hole in anyone
But it was you I was thinking of

I read your letter
The one you left when you broke into my house
Retracing every step you made
And you said you meant it
And there's a piece of me in every single
Second of every single day
But if it's true then tell me how it got this way

Where are you now?
As I'm swimming through the stereo
I'm writing you a symphony of sound
Where are you now?
As I rearrange the songs again
This mix could burn a hole in anyone
But it was you I was thinking of

And I can't get to you
I can't get to you
I can't get to you

Where are you now?
As I'm swimming through the stereo
I conduct a symphony of sound
Where are you now?
As I'm cutting through you track by track
I swear to God this mix could sink the sun
But it was you I was thinking of

And where are you now?
And where are you now?

And this is my mixed tape for her
It's like I wrote every note
With my own fingers

"Last Night I Saved An Angel"
Nekromantix


Another lonely night
My life is passing by
Without it
Your time is up
The moment is near
I miss it

It fills me from afar
It helps me get through another day
I need it
Each night I wish forever
Just one escape to get away
I want it

Last night I saved an angel
I fixed her broken wings
She made me do things I'd never done before

"Invincible" Muse:o

Follow through
Make your dreams come true
Don't give up the fight
You will be alright
'Cause there's no one like you in the universe

Don't be afraid
What your mind conceives
You should make a stand
Stand up for what you believe
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we're invincible

During the struggle
They will pull us down
But please, please
Let's use this chance
To turn things around
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we're invincible

Do it on your own
It makes no difference to me
What you leave behind
What you choose to be
And whatever they say
Your souls unbreakable

During the struggle
They will pull us down
But please, please
Let's use this chance
To turn things around
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we're invincible
Together we're invincible

During the struggle
They will pull us down
Please, please
Let's use this chance
To turn things around
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we're invincible
Together we're invincible

Wish You Were Here (Waters, Gilmour) Pink Floyd

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here

I Love my Computer - Bad Religion


I love my computer, you make me feel alright
Every waking hour, and every lonely night
I love my computer, for all you give to me:
Predictable errors and no identity
And its never been quite so easy, Ive never been quite so happy

All I need to do is click on you
And well be joined in the most soul-less way
And well never ruin each others day, cuz when Im through
I just click, And you just go away

I love my computer, Youre always in the mood
I get so turned on, When I turn on you
I love my computer, You never ask for more
You can be a princess, Or you can be my whore
And its never been quite so easy, Ive never been quite so happy
The world outside is so big, But its safe in my domain
Because to you ,Im just a number and a clever screen name

All I need to do is click on you, And well be together for eternity
And no one is ever gonna take my love from me
because Ive got security, Her password and a key

"Linoleum"
NOFX

Possessions never meant anything to me
I'm not crazy
Well that's not true, I've got a bed, and a guitar
And a dog named Bob who pisses on my floor
That's right, I've got a floor
So what, so what, so what?
I've got pockets full of kleenex and lint and holes
Where everything important to me
Just seems to fall right down my leg
And on to the floor
My closest friend linoleum
Linoleum
Supports my head, gives me something to believe
That's me on the beachside combing the sand
Metal meter in my hand
Sporting a pocket full of change
That's me on the street with a violin under my chin
Playing with a grin, singing gibberish
That's me on the back of the bus
That's me in the cell
That's me inside your head
That's me inside your head
That's me inside your head

[bwind22]

Well, I was giving someone else a chance to jump in, but seeing as there were no takers, I'll go again...

NOFX is great, but I think they have a LOT more songs with better lyrics than Linoleum. 6/10


Date with Destiny - Pennywise

A burning plane that's going down, the last scream before it hits the ground
A lost ship on a raging sea, a blinking distress signal of emergency
A run away train careening off the tracks, the last breath before a heart attack
The earth quakes as it shakes your room, promising falling skies in impending doom

One chance. You feel it... before you meet with your destiny
One chance. You need it... to come to terms with mortality
All thats important to me
Everything inside of me
All that's trivial will fade and soon recede, you will see you're on a date with
destiny

Look in the jaws of your own demise, watch your life pass before your eyes
Did you live like a dream come true or did you just survive? Did you do all you could do?
In a fall from a burning tower, What would you do with just one more hour?
Live that hour out everyday like it was your last, you'll live much better that way

One chance. You feel it... before you meet with your destiny
One chance. You need it... to come to terms with mortality
All thats important to me
Everything inside of me
You're on a date with destiny. You're on a date with destiny.

"Alcohol"
Gang Green


Were gonna die when the sun comes up
we'll drink until we drop
my blood is 100 proof
were gonna stumble twist and crawl
99 bottles of beer on the wall
Id rather drink than fuck

No doubt about it I cant live with out it
No doubt about it I cant live with out it alcohol, alcohol

it is my destiny

Youve got the beer weve got the time
Youve got the coke gimme a line

No doubt about it I cant live with out it
No doubt about it I cant live with out it alcohol, alcohol

Were gonna die when the sun comes up
We'll drink until we drop
Id rather drink than fuck
You've got the beer weve got the time
You've got the coke gimme a line

No doubt about it I cant live with out it
No doubt about it I cant live with out it alcohol

Never heard that song before, but I like it. 8/10



Leaving Jesusland - NOFX



We call the heartland "Not very smart land". IQ's are very low, but threat levels are high
They got a mandate, they don't want man-dates, they got so many hates and people to despise

In the dust bowl, cerebral black hole, the average weight is well over 200 pounds
I hate to generalize, but have you seen the thighs, most haven't seen their genitalia in a while

Maybe that's why they're so scared of us
We've concerns other than fear and hunger pangs

Queers, transgends, and lesbians, vegans and vegetarians
All you brownish red and yellow ones come and join us on the coast

No longer svelte, they gotta punch new holes in the Bible belt
They've blown out the fire under the melting pot, the red blood of America is starting to clot
No compromise, no sight through others' eyes, they're just flies spreading pieces of shit
You gotta emigrate, stop living in hate, what makes this country great is dwelling on either side

They don't want visitors in Jesusland
They want life canned and bland in the fatherland

We want people with college degrees, drug use experience and STD's
People with open-minded philosophies, come hug California trees
Cultural revolution now, neo-conservatives run outta town
We're gonna burn Orange County down,
And then we're off to Riverside, Bakersfield and Fresno too, then we're coming after you

The fear stricken, born again Christian, they got a vision of homogenized state
Textbook decline, Intelligent Design
They got Bill Nye on the list to execrate

They don't want visitors in Jesusland
They want life canned and bland in the fatherland

Punk Rockers and emo kids, people doing things the church forbids
Buddhists, agnostics, and atheists we're moving out of jesusland
Art students and thespians, excluding country, all the musicians
We want all hookers and comedians, nihilists are welcome too

No longer svelte, they gotta punch new holes in the Bible belt

Fuck Emo by Cheap Sex

'Dear diary, my life is a complete fiasco.
The dashboard show is this weekend and I can't even fit
into my little sister's jeans anymore. My dad grounded
me cause he caught me in my mom's makeup again. He's
such a nazi. I wish i could just run away to somewhere
where people could understand me. I make out with one
guy at a show and I'm gay? Hello, it's the new millennium.
Ever heard of experimentation? I tried to cut my wrist
yesterday but some of the blood got on my pants, and I totally
freaked. Needless to say, they're ruined.'

For the past few years we've seen you around
pretentious art fags taking over my town
You're too mature to have any fun
Your trend in a year will be over and done
Your hair is in a bowl or any shape
You're acting like you're gay just to get laid
and a white belt holds up your pants
you're too mature to fucking dance

FUCK EMO!
we aren't dead
and in a year there will be none of you left.

'mmm, emo. you bet your sweet ass it's emo. ooh, doesn't it
just make you wanna cry?'

'anyway, my life is just a black abyss. I'm up to 98
pounds now and i don't know what to do. I don't know,
maybe i'll join the navy.
