postjack Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 Artist: Drive-By Truckers Album: Southern Rock Opera Song: The Southern Thing Lyric: Ain't about excuses or alibis Ain't about no cotton fields or cotton picking lies Ain't about the racists, a crying shame To the fucking rich man all poor people look the same Don't get me wrong It just ain't right May not look strong, but I ain't afraid to fight If you want to live another day Stay out the way of the southern thing Ain't about no hatred better raise a glass It's a little about some rebels but it ain't about the past Ain't about no foolish pride, Ain't about no flag Hate's the only thing that my truck would want to drag You think I'm dumb, maybe not too bright You wonder how I sleep at night Proud of the glory, stare down the shame Duality of the southern thing
swt61 Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 (edited) Artist: Kris Kristofferson Song: Sunday Morning Coming Down. Album: What Love Can Do "Well I woke up Sunday morning, With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt. And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, So I had one more for dessert. Then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes, And found my cleanest dirty shirt. An' I shaved my face and combed my hair, An' stumbled down the stairs to meet the day."

postjack Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 This is a full song, therefore against the rules, but its so short its worth sharing the whole thing. Artist: Wilco Album: Being There Song: Red Eyed And Blue "We've got solid-state technology, Tapes on the floor, Some songs we can't afford to play When we came here today All I wanted to say Is how much I miss you Alcohol and cotton balls And some drugs We can afford on the way When we came here today We all felt something true Now I'm red-eyed and blue"

bjw Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 Artist: The Disco Biscuits Song: Confrontation The confrontation was a necessary act. We traded in our lives but took a million back. And in the end, it seems I get what I deserve. But for one moment's time, I wish I had the nerve. Written by Marc after he was ousted from the band in late 99/early 2000, was an Electron song before he rejoined the band at the end of 2000. Weird time for those of us following them and then not so much without Marc as part of it.
postjack Posted March 24, 2008 Report Posted March 24, 2008 Artist: Ween Album: White Pepper Song: She's Your Baby Janey came back from the stand, Smiling, With the writing of Kafka in hand, And a bunny in a can, Slipping and sliding, You feel yourself asking her, Why would you want me to try? Squeezing your wrist and she's pulling you closer, Down where the devils are dying with laughter, Then led to a place where there's no form of pleasure, She blows you a kiss from her lips...

Fuck a needle, here's a sword, bodypierce with this Livin amuk, never givin a fuck Gimme the keys I'm drunk, and I've never driven a truck But I smoke dope in a cab I'll stab you with the sharpest knife I can grab Come back the next week and re-open your scab "
bjw Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 Artist: Frank Zappa Album: Live in New York (and others) Song: I'm the Slime Lyrics: I am gross and perverted I'm obsessed 'n deranged I have existed for years But very little has changed I'm the tool of the Government And industry too For I am destined to rule And regulate you I may be vile and pernicious But you can't look away I make you think I'm delicious With the stuff that I say I'm the best you can get Have you guessed me yet? I'm the slime oozin' out From your TV set You will obey me while I lead you And eat the garbage that I feed you Until the day that we don't need you Don't go for help . . . no one will heed you Your mind is totally controlled It has been stuffed into my mold And you will do as you are told Until the rights to you are sold

swt61 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 "I've made a small fortune and you squandered it all You shamed me till I feel about one inch tall But I thought I loved you and I hoped you would change So I gritted my teeth and didn't complain. Now you come to me with a simple goodbye You tell me you're leaving but you won't tell me why Now we're here at the station and you're getting on And all I can think of is... thank God and Greyhound you're gone Thank God and Greyhound you're gone I didn't know how much longer I could go on Watching you take the respect out of me Watching you make a total wreck out of me That big diesel motor is playing my song Thank God and Greyhound you're gone. Thank God and Greyhound you're gone That load on my mind got lighter when you got on That shiny old bus is a beautiful sight With the black smoke rolling up around the taillight It may sound kind-a cruel but I've been silent too long Thank God and Greyhound you're gone. Thank God and Greyhound you're gone..."

Oops, showing my age...
