"I'll never believe in love anymore ------------------------------------------- "And SEX was always there from when I was only eight years - tempting me leave thirsty Second Love and Beyond The Pale of Pain Of Salvation. 15 minutes of prog glory. The best and more emotional lyrics that I never heard in music. Remedy Lane is truly a big, big, masterpiece.
"So here I am once more in the playground of the broken hearts
"So I'll hold our peace forever when you wear your bridal gown
"Last night you said I was cold, untouchable
"Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart "Kayleigh I'm still trying to write that love song
It's neccesary to tell the band? Let me die! Let me break the things I love I need to cry! Let me burn it all! Let me take my fall! Through the cleansing fire! Now let me die! Let me die..." PoS again.
"Do You really think I need you?"
"Preparing for her flight Space-Dye Vest and A Change Of Seasons by Dream Theater.
"Lord, if you don't help me I can't get through this.
Incredible track, and incredible lyrics from this not-so-incredible-band called Evergrey. |

"I had a friend that took a blet, took a blet and hung himself
Hung himself in the doorway of the apartment where he lived His woman and his little bro came home from the grocery store Only to find him dangling in the apartment where he lived" Bob Primus " I've been to hell. I spell it... I spell it DMV Anyone that's been there knows precisely what I mean Stood there and I've waited and choked back the urge to scream And if I had my druthers I'd screw a chimpanzee" DMV Primus "Look around at this world we've made Equality our stock in trade Come and join the Brotherhood of Man Oh, what a nice, contented world Let the banners be unfurled Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand." Temples of Syrinx "It's too easy to "be in" with a platform It's too easy to know what to say It's harder to sit when everyone else is standing To shake your head as the world just nods away" Echolyn As the World |

Memorable - yes. Good....(?) "Pass a glass of ammonia, I got to get off soon" (Klaatu) "Rock me baby like a long lost friend, then roll me over and do it again." (Triumph) "San Francisco Bay, the striped bass are dying" (Primus) "My borrowed face and my third hand grace only reflect your glory"... huh?! (Rush)

I don't think anyone guessed at this. Its by Mars Volta but I cant think of the name right now. "One angry gesture provoked by hate One friendly favor considered too great One gracious smile looked upon as fake Have I become too jaded?" |

So much for good lyrics, but what about bad ones?
I was listening to a Rick Wakeman album earlier (well someone has to), and I heard what must be the worst set of lyrics ever recorded. Now I know that Mr. "Pass the poppadums" Wakeman isn't noted for his lyrics, but this is simply inexcusable. It makes Britney Spears sound almost Shakespearian! The song in question is from African Bach (not a bad album overall), and is called "Just a game". Here's a sample: "It's just a game It's all the same No-one ever listens to me It's all the same It's just a game No-one gives you nothin' for free It doesn't matter what I do It doesn't matter what I say If only I could read your mind and you read mine I'm just a pawn A useless pawn Easily taken for free I'm in the way Or so they say Everybody's lookin' at me I never got the right to rule Even though I have to play 'Cos the game is played the same across the world and so on. Can anybody beat that for lyrical mediocrity from a Prog musician who should know better? Edited by ElwoodHerring |

Flower Kings' "Stardust we are, close to divine" - kind of sums up us the progfans (actually it is Woodstock anthem, which shows where our roots come from) But actually it should be "Rings hopes and promises fragments out of time all of these things have been spoken but still you don't understand how it feels when I'm waiting for them to be broken" Van Der Graaf Generator "My Room". "If the sky is seared with death what is the point of catching breath - expel it!" VDGG "Lemmings" "Welcome back to the circus", "We are clutching at straws still drowning" our beloved Fish with Marillion "Cinderella Search", "The Last Straw" respondingly "Oh by the way which one is Pink?" "How could an intelligent hare make such a silly mistake?" "But there is in fact more earth than sea" ".....still you turn me on" and so on ad infinitum Such variety of moods, such depth of wisdom and reflection, sometimes a bit hilarious, sometimes a bit of affirmation. Let's face it, we should count ourselves lucky. Not only we listen to most brilliant musicians (even jazzers should admit it) but we also have the best poets in rock, Morrison including!! |

"The fist will run,
Grasp metal to gun. The spirit sings in crashing tones we gain the battle drum. Our cries will shrill the air will moan and crash into the dawn. The pen won't stay the demon's wings, the hour approaches Pounding out the Devil's sermon..." <Gulp> (Gates of Delirium of course) |

Genesis:
-"It is my sad duty to inform you of a four foot restriction on humanoid height" -"You know what you are, you don't give a damn" -"The mountain cuts off the town from view, like a cancer growth is removed by skill" Pink Floyd: -"Will the misty master break me, will the key unlock my mind?" -"And all you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be" -"Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky" -"The rusting wire that holds the cork that keeps the anger in. Gives way, and suddenly it's day again" Tool: -"Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow, what you need is someone strong to use you." -"Jesus, whon't you f**king whistle, somthing but the past and done." -"My shadow's shedding skin and I've been picking scabs again" -"black and white are, all I see, in my infancy, red and yellow then came to be, reching out to me, let's me see". And the short poem in Third Eye: "Shroud-ing all the ground around me Is this holy crow above me. Black as holes within a memory And blue as our new second sun. I stick my hand into his shadow To pull the pieces from the sand. Which I attempt to reassemble To see just who I might have been. I do not recognize the vessel, But the eyes seem so familiar. Like phosphorescent desert buttons Singing one familiar song..." King Crimson: -"When every man is torn apart with nightmares and with dreams, will no one lay the laurel wreath as silence drowns the screams." -"The yellow jester does not play but gently pulls the strings and smiles as the puppets dance in the court of the crimson king." -"Ice blue silver sky fades into grey." Jethro Tull: -"I may make you feel but I can't make you think." -The poet and the painter casting shadows on the water." ...arrr, frack it! The whole of Thick as a brick :) The Mars Volta: -"Now there are those who find comfort in the breathing wrong, is it wrong?" -"One day this chalk outline will circle this city" -"look at how they flock to him, from an isle of open sores" And the poem in Cassandra Gemini: -" There was a frail syrup dripping off His lap danced lapel, punctuated by her Decrepit prowl she washed down the hatching Gizzard soft as a mane of needles His orifice icicles hemorrhaged By combing her torso to a pile Perspired the trophy shelves made room for his collapse She was a mink handjob in sarcophagus heels" Edited by NecroManiac |
