I don't know that one, but here's another to revive the thread:

///
overwhelmed and possessed by your beauty
hypnotized to follow you blind
your dark side was revealed to me before
the possibility of betrayal i did ignore
///

Admittedly, that's not an easy one. At all. :)

hypnotized by the pilfers. am i right or am i right? woot.
what is it about that song that makes it so fucking good? i don't think i'd listen to music like that otherwise.

I think part of it is the "CLEAR CLEAR! you betta broke outta here" and how he says "outta". :)

I think the other part is that the Pilfers were simply a very good band. It's unfortunate that they didn't get major-label backing, because I find their music to be of a much higher caliber (and much more listenable) than the main-stream ska, but it's also pop-y. All in all, I like it. The rest of that album is very good too. I should send you the MP3's.

And yes, you're right, as I guessed you probably would be. I don't figure anyone else around here has ever heard of the Pilfers :)

<b>Hypnotized</b> really is just an awesome song though.

The "The dance floor's a desert..." one I posted was Massive Attack "Daydreaming".

I guess I win?

BTW, did anyone pick up the Massive Attack "Eleven Promos" DVD that just came out? Its fucking awesome.

I just feel like throwing one out...

"Dear God, how have you been, then?
I'm not fine, fuck pretending."

in memory of the departed...

"Down in a Hole" by AIC of course.

Incidentally, my lyric is an AIC song too.

Yes, and I didn't answer it because I figured you would know that it would be pretty easy for me, kinda wanting me to leave it for someone else... kinda like I figured for the "Down In A Hole" lyric. You turd. :)

I'll still leave it for someone else though.

Fucking sue me. :)

Seriously though, I didn't know if anyone would guess mine. It's not what I would call easily decipherable. Yours wasn't either for that matter. The way he sings it makes it sound open to interpretation if you don't actually know the lines.

Well, while we're on the subject of not-easily-decipherable lyrics, let's go with..

///
cool and stressing
///

pronounced "cool ranch dressing" :)

this oughta be a sorta tough one. I'd only expect you and Jenni to get it, really. :)

G n' R--"Pretty Tied Up"

Hmmm...you might get this one:

"I'm in love with this malicious intent
You've been taken but you don't know it yet
What you will know must never live to be found
'Cause it's the subject of the eyes of the clown"

hehe. of course i'll get that. favorite ministry album.

new world order. ministry. track 1 psalm 69. well, technically, it's called "n.w.o." but we all know what that means.

TELL ME SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW SHOW ME SOMETHING I CAN'T USE PUSH THE BUTTON CONNECT THE GODDAMN DOTS!

:)

"the way to succeed and the way to suck eggs"

hehe. i love that cd.

Ah..."TV II."

I like the first TV Song, although I've only seen it on a live bootleg. It's not even in my import singles box set. "TV III" is alright, but not as good as the first two.

How funny...Psalm 69 made me open my Bible for the first time in years. :)

Well, since no one else is doing it... God Am.

Guns 'n Roses - "My Michelle"

//
Now that you got it right
Bring love and I'll make it alright
Bring love and we'll take it tonite
Now that you got it right

Tricky "Evolution Revolution Love".

Oddly appropriate, but still an incredible song:

//
At the record company party
On their hands - a dead star
The sycophantic slags all say :
"I knew him first, and I knew him well"
Re-issue! Re-package! Re-package!
Re-evaluate the songs
Double-pack with a photograph
Extra Track (and a tacky badge)
But you could've said no
If you'd wanted to
You could've said no
If you'd wanted to
//

The Smiths--"Paint a Vulgar Picture"

"I could travel to New York City
Dress in black and slump around the Village
Pierce my flesh with jewels and needles
Turn my black hair white or whatever"

Iodine Radio - "For You"

//
Back stabbing and name calling
The trade marks of your act
You talk and talk of unity
But divide with your attacks
//

~mike

Close enough...Radio Iodine. :)

You've actually heard of them? They released two major label albums, but didn't really have much of a following outside St. Louis.

Sproadic dyslexia...it's a bitch.

My brother has a friend who lives in St. Louis, and he gets the odd report of what's big by the Ol' Miss.

Public Enemy, of course. Yo! Bum rush the show!

Here's another good one.

N.W.A--"Fuck tha Police"

"Now let me tell you something
You fucking piece of shit
You'll never have no money
Now tell me was it worth it?"

I know Mike's lyrics, but won't post b/c I looked them up. I've heard of the band and their label before...good stuff.

311 - "Silver". Wow...I haven't listened to 311 in quite some time...

Here's a new one.


"Never trust a big butt and a smile.."

Unless I'm mistaken, that's "Poison" by Bell Biv Devoe..

Gotta roll, class time now.

~mike

since jen and i both have it in our signatures and i'm listening to it now, i'll do some lyrics from this fantastical song.

///
the ruiner's a collector, he's an infector, serving his shit to his flies
maybe there will come a day when those that you keep blind will suddenly realize
maybe it's a part of me, you took it to a place i hoped it would never go
and maybe that fucked me up much more than you'll ever know
///

i LOVE that song. LOVE. with a capital love.

NIN - "Ruiner"

Ok, double shot since I couldn't post yesterday.

//
Well, I got a little woman
'bout my height and size,
Now she's a married woman
sees me once in a while.

And lyric dos

Come on you boy child
you winner and loser
come on you miner
for truth and delusion

"... and shine!" #2 is "Shine on you Crazy Diamond", one of the later parts, from Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here. Thanks for posting an oldie and letting us oldy people in.

Ahh, Pink Floyd, bridging all gaps. But if you're old-timey Tony, then you should also get the first one.

(Ooh...a hint...)


~mike

here's another grown-up tune. take it away, The Tone!

///
now the sun's gone to hell and
the moon's riding high
let me bid you farewell
every man has to die

but it's written in the starlight
and every line in your palm
we're fools to make war on our...

"...Brothers In Arms." Dire Straits. In fact I saw them on that tour, back in the day in 1985. Outstanding...

Lucky lucky man. Here's another one for you:

///
i rolled on
the sky grew dark
i put the petal down to make some time

there's something good
waitin' down this road
i'm pickin' up whatever is mine
///

Lucky me that I <b>have</b> seen that one performed live and it <b>ruled</b>. Easily one of the most timeless artists ever.

FINE!

It's Tom Petty - Runnin' Down A Dream

Here's another one:

///
well some say life
will beat you down
break your heart
steal your crown

so i've started out
for god knows where
i guess i'll know
when i get there
///

My favorite Tom Petty song. So you can probably figure this one out. By reading my weblog. And then posting the answer. :)

Learning To Fly

///
You can make a big impression or
Go through life unseen
You might wind up restricted and over seventeen
It's so hard to be careful, so easy to be lead
Somewhere beyond the pavement
You'll find the living dead
///

my favourite tom petty song. :)

~james

I won't ruin it for anyone else, but that's a good one. It's not on Playback, unfortunately, but that's okay - I've got it anyway :)

Here's a good one. You'll either need to be a dork or my sister to get it. But that's alright.

here's to the wild and here's to the free
here's to my life in a chosen country

out in the garden would-a be much better

Ima Dork/ honorary sista reporting for duty sir! John Denver wants to live in Alaska and hey, dont you too?! Nice sky.

I know I've heard the tomato tune, but here's another dork's challenge:

" Yeah the cops have been lookin for the son of a gun
That's been rippin the tar off the 401.
They know the name of the truck shines up in the sun......Green Gables."

Right you are.

I know yours, but I had to Google it. I don't think anyone's going to get it, so... maybe it's just me that's never heard it before.

Its Canadiana! Nic oughtta know.

oh, sorry. john denver, home grown tomatoes. um...i didn't see this thread's new posts before. weird.

and tool. reflection. okay, i don't know any good ones except those that would probably have to be googled...um...because they're all semi-obscure bands that paul listens to :)

Here's a hint: I caught these guys out at X-Fest at the Star Lake Amphitheater in Pittsburgh.

Quarashi--"Stick 'Em Up"

Iceland's first ever hip-hop group...heh.

Lyrics will be forthcoming.

"We both thought it was cool to cross the line
And I was convinced it would be alright
Now things are strange, nothing's the same
And really I just want my friend back"

One of Philadelphia's own

Musiq Soulchild - Half Crazy

//
A million dollars in it
Cold hundreds of G's
Enough to buy a boat
And matching car with ease
//

Run-DMC--"Christmas in Hollis"

And actually, Musiq has dropped the "Soulchild"...and you know the guy doesn't use capital letters...or proper spelling fuhdatmatta. ;)

"Spreading vocal leprosy, using discrepancy
Lyric weaponry lessens your chances of testing me
Stop and freeze MC's, I block atrocities
True philosophies from the lips of black Socrates"

I dunno who that is, but that sounds on fire just reading it.

Sounds a whole lot like Ozomatli's "Cut Chemist Suite".

Tony Hawk got me turned on to that song. Yeah!

d got it...ozo. :)

Chali 2na (who did the rhymes on the first Ozo CD) is part of Jurassic 5, who quite frankly whoop serious ass. Check out their CD Quality Control. Also, the self-titled Ozo CD is quite phat too, if you dig Latin with some funk thrown in.

Of course, the new Ozo CD is good...the new rapper (Kanetic) is cool...Common also makes an appearance. But it's not quite the same w/o Chali.

Dave hasn't posted new lyrics yet, so I'll throw out another set.

The song is so sick and demented that it's actually funny.

"And I put it into my car and I said, 'Momma, we're goin' on
a vacation, a permanent vacation, bitch.'"

Here's some new lyrics for you fools:

///
And now I hear you found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside and to
See you cuts me like a knife
///

:P

[ Edit - somehow "you found" founds its way out of my post. ]

Poison--"Every Rose Has Its Thorn"

The lyrics I posted yesterday will stand.

Nobody guessed the last set I posted, which was "Momma's Gotta Die Tonight" by Body Count.

And now...new ones:

"I'm everlasting, never will my head expand
this publisher is clearing house like I was Ed McMahon
I'll getcha open like a bullet wound come test the repertoire
and I'll connect a right cross to your upper jaw"
