    Best Lyrics from Seattle?

    It's hard, and apart from Do The Evolution witch is a masterpiece i have to share my experience with this:

    They don't eat, don't sleep
    They don't feed, they don't seethe
    Bare their gums when they moan and squeak
    Lick the dirt off a larger one's feet
    They don't push, don't crowd
    Congregate until they're much too loud
    Fuck to procreate till they are dead
    Drink the blood of their so called best friend

    They don't scurry when something bigger comes their way
    Don't pack themselves together and run as one
    Don't shit where they're not supposed to
    Don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare

    They don't scam, don't fight
    Don't oppress an equals given rights
    Starve the poor so they can be well fed
    Line their holes with the dead ones bread

    They don't scurry when something bigger comes their way
    Don't pack themselves together and run as one
    Don't shit where they're not supposed to
    Don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare...

    Rats...They don't compare
    Ben, the two of us need look no more


    shocking Oo

    more ideas for the no.1 poetry :D?

  • I must admit I like Rats but i think I can do better..

    I cant wait until somebody takes your place.
    Hey Dick Cheney you can kiss my ass
    I hope the next 2 years the days go fast."

  • "Bugs"

    all these...
    i got bugs
    i got bugs in my room
    bugs in my bed
    bugs in my ears
    their eggs in my head
    bugs in my pockets
    bugs in my shoes
    bugs in the way i feel about you
    bugs on my window
    trying to get in
    they don't go nowhere
    waiting, waiting...
    bugs on my ceiling
    crowded the floor
    standing, sitting, kneeling...
    a few block the door
    and now the question's:
    do i kill them?
    become their friend?
    do i eat them?
    raw or well done?
    do i trick them?
    i don't think they're that dumb
    do i join them?
    looks like that's the one
    i got bugs on my skin
    tickle my nausea
    i let it happen again
    they're always takin' over
    i see they surround me, i see...
    see them deciding my fate
    oh, that which was once...was once up to me...
    now it's too late
    i got bugs in my room...one on one
    that's when i had a chance
    i'll just stop now
    i'll become naked
    and with the...i'll become one

    I'd definitely choose Sad (i think it'd also be eligible for favorite seattle song, but that might be for another post ..):


    All the photographs are peeling
    and colors turn to gray, he stayed
    in his room with memories for days, he faced
    an undertow of future's laid to waste, embraced
    by the loss of one he could not replace

    and there's no reason that she'd passed
    and there is no god with a plan, it's sad
    and his loneliness is proof, it's sad
    he could only love you, it's sad

    the door swings through a passing fable
    a fate we may delay, we say
    holding on, live within our embrace
    he lit a match, he laid in bed
    hoping their dreams will bring her back, it's sad
    and his loneliness is cruel, it's sad
    he could only love you, it's sad

    holding his last breath, believing
    he'll make his way
    if she's not forgotten
    he's haunted
    he's searching for escape

    if just one wish could bring her back, it's sent
    and his loneliness is proof, it's sad
    he will always love you, he said

    Nothing really bothers her, she just wants to love herself

    I think the fact that TocarLove Boat Captain can evoke the same feelings they were inspiring in people ten years previously is testament enough to Vedder's lyrical ability.

    "Lost nine friends we'll never know, two years ago today".

    Chokes me up.

    Honourable mention to the oft underrated TocarSleight of Hand too... It's better than Footsteps as a storytelling song, imo...

    "I would've fallen from the sky with you"

    real pain, one of the most important lyrics that changed my life ...

    Pearl Jam - Black


    I know some day you'll have beautiful life
    Some day you'll be star
    In somebody elses sky...but why?

    why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine?

  • Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes to all of the lyrics so far.

    How about Temple Of The Dog - Call Me A Dog

    "You call me a dog
    Well that's fair enough
    It doesn't bother me as long as you know
    Bad luck will follow you
    If you keep me on a leash and
    You drag me along."

    And the way Chris sings it is phenomenal :)

    I also love Reach Down from that album, its such a beautiful description of Andy Wood.

    And so many of the best grunge songs are about addictions and losing friends which are both topics that are very close to my heart.

    It's impossible to pick a best lyric from Seattle, so many of them mean so many different things to me.

    Wezz.

    Confusion

    AIC-Confusion

    I want to set you free, recognize my disease
    Love, *****, pain, confusion, suffering
    You're there crying, I feel not a thing
    Drilling my way deeper in your head
    Sinking, draining, drowning, bleeding, dead

    Black, Black, Black...

    Hard and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
    I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
    How quick the sun can, drop away
    And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
    Of what was everything?
    All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
    All the love gone bad
    Turned my world to black
    Tattoed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be...
    I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star,
    In somebody else's sky, but why
    Why, why can't it be, oh can't it be mine...


    Fantastic!(this in a more profound and endearing way =)*


    Talking about strong and incisive lyrics... Satan's Bed!

    Satan's bed it's not all been said...been said and done...
    I've never slept in Satan's bed
    Although I must admit...still visits my place
    Uninvited, as you know, he don't wait
    Funny how he always seems to fit in
    Funny how I always want to give in
    Sundays, Fridays, Tuesdays, Thursday, the same
    Sometimes the special guest, he don't like to leave
    Already...in love...
    Already...Who made, who made up, made up the myth
    That we were born to be covered in bliss?
    Who set the standard, born to be rich?
    Such fine examples, skinny little bitch
    Model, role model, roll some models in blood
    Get some flesh to stick, so they look like us
    I shit and I stink, I'm real, join the club
    I'd stop and talk, but I'm already in loveAlready...in love...
    Already...In love...
    ...follows torture...follows reward...
    Oh, oh my butt...Never shook Satan's hand, look see for yourself
    You'd know it if I had, that shit don't come off
    I'll rise and fall, let me take credit for both
    Jump off a cliff, don't need your help so back off
    I'll never suck Satan's dick...
    Again, you'd see it, you know, right round the lips
    I'll wait for an angel, but I won't hold my breath
    'Magine they're busy, think I'm doing okay...



    And also:
    Down In A Hole (Alice In Chains)
    You Know You're Right (Nirvana)
    Heart Shaped Box (Nirvana)
    Call Me A Dog (TOTD)

    I shit and I stink.
    I'm real, join the club.
    I'd stop and talk but I'm already in love.

  • Pearl Jam - Wishlist

    I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off.
    I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on.
    I wish I was a sentimental ornamnet you hung on
    The christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top,
    I wish I was the evidence
    I wish I was the grounds for fifty million hands up raised and opened toward the sky.

    I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.
    I wish I was a messenger, and all the news was good.
    I wish I was the full moon shining off a camaro's hood.

    I wish I was an alien, at home behind the sun,
    I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on.
    I wish I was the pedal break that you depended on.
    I wish I was the verb to trust, and never let you down.

    I wish I was the radio song, the one that you turned up,
    I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish,
    I guess it never stops.

    I love each and every line of this song. It's so simple and yet not trivial. Just brilliant.

    Down in a hole - Alice in Chains

    Bury me softly in this womb
    I gave this part of me for you
    Sand rains down and here I sit
    Holding rare flowers in a tomb

    And Call me a Dog - Temple of the Dog

    That's fair enough
    It doesn't bother me as long as you know
    Back luck will follow you
    If you keep me on a leash and you drag me alone

  • Alice in Chains - Dirt



    I Have Never Felt Such Frustration
    Or Lack Of Self Control
    I Want You To Kill Me
    And Dig Me Under, I Wanna Live No More

    One Who Doesn't Care Is One Who Shouldn't Be
    I've Tried To Hide Myself From What Is
    Wrong For Me, For Me

    I Want To Taste Dirty, A Stinging Pistol
    In My Mouth, On My Tongue
    I Want You To Scrape Me From The Walls
    And Go Crazy Like You've Made Me

    You, You Are So Special
    You Have The Talent To
    Make Me Feel Like Dirt
    And You, You Use Your
    Talent To Dig Me Under
    And Cover Me With Dirt



    Recently I had a dark period in my life, weverything went wrong and so on. I thought about sucide, but somehow this song helped me listening to it just made me understand that Im not the only one that has problems, so I started to write some lame poetry. Yeah this song and all dirt album has had some great influence on me.

    Only thing to fear is F.E.A.R. the game it self :)

    DOWN IN A HOLE -Alice in Chains

    Bury me softly in this womb
    I give this part of me for you
    Sand rains down and here I sit
    Holding rare flowers
    In a tomb...in bloom

    Down in a hole and I dont know if I can be saved
    See my heart I decorate it like a grave
    You dont understand who they
    Thought I was supposed to be
    Look at me now a man
    Who wont let himself be

    Down in a hole, feelin so small
    Down in a hole, losin my soul
    Id like to fly,
    But my wings have been so denied

    Down in a hole and theyve put all
    The stones in their place
    Ive eaten the sun so my tongue
    Has been burned of the taste
    I have been guilty
    Of kicking myself in the teeth
    I will speak no more
    Of my feelings beneath

    Down in a hole, feelin so small
    Down in a hole, losin my soul
    Id like to fly but my
    Wings have been so denied

    Bury me softly in this womb
    Oh I want to be inside of you
    I give this part of me for you
    Oh I want to be inside of you
    Sand rains down and here I sit
    Holding rare flowers (oh I want to be inside of you)
    In a tomb...in bloom
    Oh I want to be inside...

    Down in a hole, feelin so small
    Down in a hole, losin my soul
    Down in a hole, feelin so small
    Down in a hole, outta control
    Id like to fly but my
    Wings have been so denied

    Pearl Jam - Better Man lyrics


    Waitin', watchin' the clock
    It's four o'clock, it's got to stop
    Tell him, take no more
    She practices her speech, as he opens the door
    She rolls over
    Pretends to sleep as he looks her over

    1-She lies and says she's in love with him
    Can't find a better man
    She dreams in color, she dreams in red
    Can't find a better man, can't find a better man
    Ohh

    Talkin', to herself there's no one else
    Who needs to know
    She, tells herself, oh...

    Memories back when she was bold and strong
    And waiting for the world to, come along
    Swears she knew it, now she swears he's gone


    She lies and says she still loves him
    Can't find a better man...
    She dreams in color, she dreams in red
    Can't find a better man
    Can't find a better man

    She loved him, yeah...
    She don't want to leave this way
    She feeds him, yeah
    That's why she'll be back again

    Can't find a better man...

    FOOTSTEPS- Pearl Jam

    Don't even think about reachin' me
    I won't be home
    Don't even think about stoppin' by
    Don't think of me at all
    I did, what I had to do
    If there was a reason, it was you...

    Don't even think about gettin' inside
    Voices in my head, voices
    I got scratches, all over my arms
    One for each day, since I fell apart
    I did, what I had to do
    If there was a reason, it was you...

    Footsteps in the hall, it was you, you
    Pictures on my chest, it was you
    It was you...

    I did, what I had to do
    And if there was a reason
    Oh, there wasn't no reason, no
    And if, there's something you'd like to do
    Just let me continue, to blame you

    Footsteps in the hall, it was you, you
    Pictures on my chest, it was you, you

    ---------------------------------------------------
    This sums up what i think Pearj Jam & Alice In Chains have the best lyrics in most of their songs
