"...with kneepads."
Always found that addition amusing.

A few off the top of my head:

Got to change my mind before it burns out - Candle

Smoke and Flames... Allright! - In the Kingdom #19

When the seasons circle sideways out of turn,
And words don't speak, just fall across the carpet,
You're just in time to watch the fire burn,
And it seems a crime, but your face is bright and you love it - Mote

All of Tom Violence

Take off your mask,
Lay off my brother
Kiss my fist,
Stop at nothing - I'm Insane

Come closer and I'll...take off your dress
I'll shake off your flesh - Shaking Hell

Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids,
Your carrot souffle's got me on the skids - In the Mind of the Bourgeois Reader

The guitar guy played real good feedback, with super sounding riffs - Skip Tracer

I find the lyrics of Shadow Of A Doubt perfect.

COTTON CROWN
LOVE HAS COME TO STAY - IN ALL THE WAY
IT'S GONNA STAY FOREVER AND EVERY DAY
IT FEELS LIKE A WISH COMING TRUE
IT FEELS LIKE AN ANGEL DREAMING OF YOU
IT FEELS LIKE HEAVEN FORGIVING AND GETTING
IT FEELS LIKE WE'RE FADING AND CELEBRATING
YOU GOT A CARNAL SPIRIT SPRAYING - I'M GONNA LAUGH IT UP
YOU GOT A COTTON CROWN - GONNA KEEP IT UNDERGROUND
WE'RE GONNA TAKE CONTROL OF THE CHEMISTRY
WE'RE GONNA MANIFEST THE MYSTERY
YOU GOT A MAGIC WHEEL IN YR MEMORY
I'M WASTED IN TIME AND I'M LOOKING EVERYWHERE
I DON'T CARE WHERE
I DON'T CARE WHERE
ANGELS ARE DREAMING OF YOU
NEW YORK CITY IS FOREVER KITTY
I'M WASTED IN TIME AND YR NEVER READY
FADING FADING CELEBRATING
I GOT YR COTTON CROWN

Where Are You Now, When Yr Broken Eyes Are Closed?
Head In A Cloudy Dream Of Green And Sailboats?
Borrowed And Never Returned, Emotions, Books,
Outlooks On Life...

"Watt here"
"I'm downstairs in this window, through a pub phone booth, if you're up, I get tense..."
Beep!
"Thurston?"
"Watt..."
"Thurston... I think it's 10:30, we're calling from Providence, Rhode Island, did you find your shit?" "You gotta watch the motin' Thurston, your fuckin memory just goes out the window. We couldn't find it in the van at all, we're wondering, if you looked in that trash can. When we threw out that trash, man, was the bag in
your hand, did you dump it? Call later. Bye."

hard to choose

I kneel before the green light of her singing crayon eyes
and then i kiss her stomach and it's then i realize
her light
is the night
i'm not blind
i believe in you
i see a green light
i see a green light
i see a green light

A 100% of my love up to you true star

Smile this girl on the strip
You really learn just how to be hip
Tell your stories about your crazy trip
messing with stars and doing tricks

Seaside lover gonna rock the boat
Gonna roll it up fast superdope
Yeah pass it around or stick it on a pin
Boojie lover with the bunny skin
My plastic lady here's a glitter roll
Straight from my heart through my soul

Light talking gold in the rain
Lights vibing dark in the saint
A cat in gold goes alone
Theresa's sound for the king

I took a look into the hate
It made me feel very up to date

Does this sound simple? Fuck you!
Are you for sale?
Does fuck you sound simple enough?

Shots ring out from the center of an empty field,
Joni's in the tall grass. She's a beautiful mental jukebox,
a sailboat explosion, a snap of electric whipcrack.
She's not thinking about the future,
not spinning her wheels, she doesn't think at all about the past.
She's thinking long and hard about that high wild sound,
and wondering will it last?

Time takes its crazy toll...

Lyrics I don't get:


What A Waste
You're So Chaste
I Can't Wait
To Taste Your Face


?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

burning spear
I'M NOT AFRAID TO SAY I'M SCARED
IN MY HEAD I'M DEEP IN PRAYER
I LOVE THE SPEED I TRUST THE FEAR
THE MUSIC COMES
THE BURNING SPEAR

titanium expose
WAKING UP I SEE YOU DREAMING OF A DRIVE-IN
OPEN YOUR EYES TO SEE THE TV SET IN MUTE
I BEEN WAITING FOR YOU
TO SMILE ALL THE PRETTY FREEZING
WINTER TIME COMES SUMMER
YOU ARE WHY IT'S HAPPENING

dripping dream
HOWLING SCRIPTURES TO THE MOTHER EARTH
O MOTHER AFRICA AWAKE YR SON
TO ALL THE MOMMAS WITH THE MONEY EYES
THIS KIND OF LOVE COMES AS NO SURPRISE
CAUGHT SHADOW / IN SEX MEADOW
LITTLE DARLINGS DESCRIBE THE SCENE
PURRING NOTIONS OF THE DRIPPING DREAM

FLIPPED ON MY PERCEPTIK COGS
CHECKED IN WITH THE FUTURE GODS
FOR MELODIES OF BEES AND HOGS
START MY DAY THE PERFECT WAY
BURNED A BATCH OF MAZZY FUNK
POOR GIRL NOISE AND CHOKE STYLE PUNK
CLAPPED IT ON AND OFF I SLUNK
TO THE STREAMXSONIK SUBWAY
FIRST I NEED MY IRIS SCANNED
AS I SMELL THE BREEZE OF ELECTRIC TIN
W/ PURPLE LIGHTS I1M MOTIONED IN
WINK THE GAIN TO MINUS 10
FELL ASLEEP AND MISSED MY STOP
GOT ROUSTED BY A LOW-BEAM COP
GOT A TICKET-PATCH FOR ILLICIT FLOP
THEN FROZE ME WITH HIS JESUS GUN
THAT DON'T MEAN I'M SHOT DOWN YET
THE GLOW BELOW OF THE WHISPER JET
IT ALL MEANS SO MUCH TO US
WE DREAM BELOW THE RAINBOWS RUST
CLIPPED ON MY STREETMATIK CLOGS
PUSHED THRU THE HYPED-OUT FERVENT FOGS
FOUND MY WAY WITH SENSOID JOGS
NEW RADIO STRUCTURE
STATE MY NAME AND LOCUS FRAME
PAID THE PRICE FOR CRASHING FAME
THE APPRENTICE SPARKS HIS INITIAL FLAME
THE PRINTOUT SIGNS SAY "FURTHER"
ANTIQUE MINDS WITH RIVERED HAIR
STREAMXSONIK SUBWAY FARE
STAY IN TOUCH ELECTRIC DEAR
OUR LIGHTMAP EYES TOGETHER
LIGHTNIN

Daycare Nation 05.15.2006 08:48 PM

Don't know what to do
I don't glitter like the stars above
I don't glow like neon alone
Don't blush it's just the wind outside
Don't rush to be by my side

Disgruntled Youth 05.15.2006 10:51 PM

I always look forward to hearing Skip Tracer!!!
