I don`t know either Javro,the first one sounds familiar though.
Tony-Bad Religion-Hurray for me and F*ck youHey,
Another line from Sparklehorse, song called Someday I will treat you good
I left my baby on the side of the highway
She just didn’t see things my way
Someday I will treat you good
Someday I will treat you fine
Someday I will treat you good
I know I shouldAllison [img]images/smiles/converted/cwm12.gif[/img]
-He’d say, "I’m gonna be like you, dad.
You know I’m gonna be like you."
-He said, "Thanks for the ball, dad, come on let’s play. Can you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today,
I got a lot to do." He said, "That’s ok."
And he walked away, but his smile never dimmmed,
Said, "I’m gonna be like him, yeah.
You know I’m gonna be like him."
-"When you coming home, son?" "I don’t know when,
But we’ll get together then, dad.
You know we’ll have a good time then."
-I said, "I’d like to see you if you don’t mind."
He said, "I’d love to, dad, if I could find the time.
You see, my new job’s a hassle, and the kid’s got the flu, But it’s sure nice talking to you, dad.
It’s been sure nice talking to you."
And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me,
He’d grown up just like me.
My boy was just like me.
-And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
"When you coming home, son?" "I don’t know when,
But we’ll get together then, dad.
You know we’ll have a good time then."<FONT>[ October 11, 2001 06:56 PM: 1 kurticus7 ]</font>
Kurticus7-that`s one of my Dad`s fav songs,when I was 4 or 5 he always used to play Harry Chapin`s live album,got kinda sick of it after awhile.
Allison-my fav line from that song is "why are the beautiful ones always crazy"then he says something about Morticia Addams,that`s cool!Look at all the ministers,
they’re so sinister.
When they’re starting to float.
On the pond near the lake,
of the origami snake.
It is kept there by the meek,
with their plastic deductable knives.
I met the tax-man, he was searching
for the sister of his rubber wife.
They may ask them what
the counsil saw.
And the answer will never be me,
cuz I’m not grown
in such a sircular high-pitched tone.Well, let us swing down the stream
of this low key diagnosed dream.
On the pants of the mayor
who constantly rants
of his mistress illiterate son.
And let us watch as the three
are eaten by one
gigantic inflatable sun.So here I am, this is what I see,
but the reflection in the jewellers window
couldn’t be me.
No I wouldn’t think it was me.The epeleptic ranger,
he was told the truth.
By a stranger wearing
aliminium shorts.
Isn’t he the guy on TV
who imitates the kings wife left vort?
Well, who could have known
the lightbulbs wouldn’t last.
I never thought pastry
could melt that fast.
So now I’m stuck here with these limes.
And the reporter said congress,
they won’t face up to their fines.
And as the vicker searches for
embedded shells.
The curtains of waxed lead
are being draped
around the burning marmelade shed.So draw that fetus from it’s pocket
and plug it into the socket.
Of your motherly vein.
The oysters are selling out
their condos to live,
well they’re living in the pouring rain.Do you still think this is me,
are these things what I see?
No, the reflections in the jewellers window
couldn’t be me.The honest politician
is limping down honesty lane.
Throwing embargos at the people
who labelled him insane.
Though I’m one of them,
they are not me.
I guess that’s not for all of you to see.
The reflections could never be me.Motorpsycho – Plan # 1
U Put too much slack on yr live wire
Saw too many thrills that killed yr desire
Too many nights that paled yr complexion
& made u a nigger in their conception of lifeMotorpsycho – Sheer Profoundity
Anything I can dor for u, Sir?
Bet u’ve heard that all yr life
Of course its not yr fault
anything at all, Sir?
I’ve waited all my life, Sir
to waste my life for u, Sir
I cant take it no moreAnything I can do for u, Sir?
I wouldn’t have it any other way
I enjoy the pity in yr smile so well
Anything at all, Sir?
go ahead & patronise me
shove me around & critise me
I can’t take it no moreNo More – No More
Anything I can do for u, Sir?I’m the killer of people
You look like a meatball
I pull out your toothpick
And ask for your givenessJane’s Addiction
He’s got more balls than a big brass monkey
He’s a whacked out weirdo and a lovebug junkie
Sly as a fox and crazy as a loon
Payday comes and he’s howlin at the moonJohn Prine
My fav Prine tune is "The Late John Garfield Blues".
Acetone does a great cover of it on their "I guess I would" ep.
Can`t remember the lyrics too well,but they`re great lyrics.Agree with the Prine song, here are those lyrics:
Black faces pressed against the glass
Where rain has pressed it’s weight
Wind blown scarves in top down cars
All share one western trait
Sadness leaks through tear-stained cheeks
From winos to dime-store Jews
Probably don’t know they give me
These late John Garfield bluesMidnight fell on Franklin Street
And the lamppost bulbs were broke
For the life of me, I could not see
But I heard a brand new joke
Two men were standing upon a bridge
One jumped and screamed you lose
And just left the odd man holding
Those late John Garfield bluesAn old man sleeps with his conscience at night
Young kids sleep with their dreams
While the mentally ill sit perfectly still
And live through life’s in-betweensI’m going away to the last resort
In week or two real soon
Where the fish don’t bite but once a night
By the cold light of the moon
The horses scream- the nightmares dream
And the dead men all wear shoes
‘Cause everybody’s dancin’
Those late John Garfield bluesI don’t call myself "the inneffable kurticus" for the hell of it [img]images/smiles/converted/wink.gif[/img]
-You were right when you said all that glitters isn’t gold. You were right when you said all we are is dust in the wind. You were right when you said you can’t always get what you want. You were right when you said…this is the end.

Allison, kinda embarrased about my last post
-it’s something I wrote just for fun as I was thinking about what lyrics I should put up here [img]images/smiles/converted/rolleyes.gif[/img]
Anyways…here’s a nice one from Johnny:
I fell into a burning ring of fire.
I went down, down, down
and the flames went higher.
And it burns, burns,burns.
The ring of fire.
The ring of fire.
