There's a man who leads a life of danger
in everyone he meets he sees a stranger
with every move he makes another chance he takes
odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

 

[orangecurious]

I see you falling
How long to go before you hit the ground?
You keep on screaming
Don't you see me here?
Am I a ghost to you?
Now your grip's too strong
You can't catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change

Big John. Big Bad John.

My daddy left home when I was three
Didn't leave very much to my mom and me
Except this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze

 

[OldDirtyAltGuy]

You have some sad fucking songs...(not a lyric, but could be)

Oh my papa, to me he was so wonderful...

This could die on its arse. We'll see.

To kick us off, My Mood Swings - Elvis Costello.

She was smitten from the first
By a curious fellow
She said I love the way you talk
And with a flounce she announces
I love the way that you pronounce it: "Marshmallow"

When i saw you piss on the rug, my heart fluttered and I knew it was love.

"Love at first fright" .. Murderdolls

It was the third of September
That day I'll always remember, yes I will
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died
I never got a chance to see him
Never heard nothin' but bad things about him

 

[latecomer91364]

Being took for granted was a thing that she accepted
And she didn't need those things to make her happy
And she didn't seem to notice that he didn't kiss and hold her
If she did, she never did say so to daddy

One morning we awoke
Just to find a note mama carefully wrote and left for daddy
And as he began to read it, our ears could not believe it
Words she had written there to daddy

She said, "The kids were older now, they don't need me anymore
I've gone to search for love I need so badly
I needed you so long, but I just can't keep holding on"
She never meant to come back home, if she did, she never did say so to daddy

Goodbye to daddy

You can hypnotize me with a glance
You're the thief to steal away my heart
I wish I could trust you, but your crooked smile
Dances on a serpent for your lover's eyes

Be merciful to me
Cos I'm so long waiting
Be merciful to me
Cos I am all alone

You were there before I knew your name
You could hear me calling out in pain
I wish I could trust you, but your crooked smile
Dances on a serpent for your lover's eyes

 

[latecomer91364]

You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart
So fuck you

 

[Bloodandglitter]

Until the sky turns green
And the grass is several shades of blue
Every member of parliament trips on glue

It takes all these things and all that time
Till my sugar spun sister's happy
With this love of mine
It'll take all these things and oh much more



RIP Mani

Hey, baby, don't you stick together and one of you just fall apart
You better try bein' stupid, oh, instead of smart
And once you take out all the garbage that's in your brain
Forget about your future 'cause it's just, just, just, just too tame, oh

Contort yourself, oh Oh,
I said you got to I said you got to, you got to, you got to
You got to contort yourself

 

[sunset_dreaming]

I don't have to sell my soul
He's already in me
I don't need to sell my soul
He's already in me

That bass line will live forever

 

[orangecurious]

I've got too much energy to switch off my mind
And not enough to get myself organized
My heart is heavy, my head is confused
And my aching little soul has started burning blue

 

[hugh_jarce69]

I've got you under my skin where the rain can't get in
But if the sweat pours out, just shout
I'll try to swim and pull you out

 

[Tallcajun]

Then came the churches, then came the schools
Then came the lawyers, then came the rules
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
And the dirty old track was the Telegraph Road

 

[Tallcajun]

You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart
So fuck you

Nielsen!!

 

[Tallcajun]

Im only happy when it rains
I'm only happy when it's complicated
And though I know you can't appreciate it
I'm only happy when it rains

You know I love it when the news is bad
Why it feels so good to feel so sad
I'm only happy when it rains

 

[orangecurious]

Step back and watch the sweet thing
Breaking everything she sees
She can take my darkest feeling
Tear it up, 'til I'm on my knees

 

[Tallcajun]

And so I talk to the night
I head for the light
Tryin' to hold it on the road
Thank God for the man who put the white lines on the highway
Baby, whatcha gonna do when the fire is through
And you find he's out looking for somebody new
'Cause you did everything that he wanted you to do
And now you're all alone and crying
Aren't you
Lover
What you want to go
Do that for
Lover
Why'd you want to tear it apart?
Ooh
Lover
You say you got your reasons
I need more
Lover
Give me back my heart

 

[orangecurious]

She cuts her hair
And calls his name
Wishin' everything could be the same
Like when she had him

 

[hugh_jarce69]

Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale
And it's about to set sail
I got me a car, it seats about 20
So come on and bring your jukebox money

 

[orangecurious]

When the world is a monster
Bad to swallow you whole
Kick the clay that holds the teeth in
Throw your trolls out the door
If you're needing inspiration
Philomath is where I go

 

[hugh_jarce69]

Decide yourself if radio's gonna stay
Reason: it could polish up the gray
Put that, put that, put that up your wall
That this isn't Country at all

 

[orangecurious]

There's a moon across the border in the Louisiana sky
I smell the Pontchartrain, I hear Silver Wings
Then, away Merle Haggard flies
That good ole boy will find a Band of Gold
On the stereo
Hey, then my Mama's gonna call and say,
"Where's she gone?"
He'll say, "Down the road with the radio on."
