Joe Budden - "10 Minutes" Verse Two: My pockets Flat Kid, You do the Math on: $5.15 an Hour, Full-time, After Taxes That Wasn't Good Enough to Keep my M.O. Shit, That Wasn't Good Enough to Complete my Demo, For Real... Some Days I Don't Wanna Be Seen, And Some Days I Don't Shower, I Don't Wanna Be Clean Look, Sometimes the Truth Could Hurt You, So I Blow my Cig Smoke right at The Truth Commercial... Bridge 2: Some Days, I don't wanna Be Bothered, Some Days, I just Miss My Father... And even If by A Miracle, He makes It Half Way Out, It won't Be Parole Y'all, It'd Be the Half Way House But, NAH! That's Not the Right Path For A Budden, 'Cause We're Addicts, Addicts can't do Half of Nothin' I would have quoted the whole song, but I think this is my favorite part.

And it’s so sad to see the world agree that they’d rather see their faces fill with flies, All when I’d want to keep white roses in their eyes." - Neutral Milk Hotel, Holland, 1945 "Morning came and then came noon, dinner time a scalpel blade lay beside my silver spoon. Some girls wander by mistake into the mess that scalpels make. Are you the teachers of my heart? We teach old hearts to break." - Leonard Cohen, Teachers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Masked Man of Mystery 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 There are so many wonderful song lyrics, here's some highlights: From "Box of Rain" by the Grateful Dead Walk into splintered sunlight Inch your way through dead dreams to another land Maybe you're tired and broken Your tongue is twisted with words half spoken and thoughts unclear What do you want me to do to do for you to see you through A a box of rain will ease the pain and love will see you through Just a box of rain - wind and water - Believe it if you need it, if you don't just pass it on Sun and shower - Wind and rain - in and out the window like a moth before a flame It's just a box of rain I don't know who put it there Believe it if you need it or leave it if you dare But it's just a box of rain or a ribbon for your hair Such a long long time to be gone and a short time to be there "Forever Young" I know the Rod Stewart version but I'm told Dylan wrote it May the good Lord be with you Down every road you roam And may sunshine and happiness surround you when you're far from home And may you grow to be proud Dignified and true And do unto others As you'd have done to you Be courageous and be brave And in my heart you'll always stay Forever Young, Forever Young Forever Young, Forever Young May good fortune be with you May your guiding light be strong Build a stairway to heaven with a prince or a vagabond And may you never love in vain and in my heart you will remain Forever Young, Forever Young Forever Young, Forever Young Forever Young Forever Young And when you finally fly away I'll be hoping that I served you well For all the wisdom of a lifetime No one can ever tell But whatever road you choose I'm right behind you, win or lose Forever Young, Forever Young Forever Young ,Forever Young Forever Young, Forever Young For, Forever Young, Forever Young "Mandolin Wind" another Stewart song When the rain came I thought you'd leave 'cause I knew how much you loved the sun But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm through the darkest nights I've ever known If the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing then I know I love ya Oh the snow fell without a break Buffalo died in the frozen fields you know Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years I couldn't believe you kept a smile Now I can rest assured knowing that we've seen the worst And I know I love ya Oh I never was good with romantic words so the next few lines come really hard Don't have much but what I've got is yours except of course my steel guitar Ha, 'cause I know you don't play but I'll teach you one day because I love ya I recall the night we knelt and prayed Noticing your face was thin and pale I found it hard to hide my tears I felt ashamed I felt I'd let you down No mandolin wind couldn't change a thing Couldn't change a thing no, no The coldest winter in almost fourteen years could never, never change your mind And I love ya Yes indeed and I love ya And I love ya Lordy I love ya "Your Song" by Elton John It's a little bit funny this feeling inside I'm not one of those who can easily hide I don't have much money but boy if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live If I was a sculptor, but then again, no Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show I know it's not much but it's the best I can do My gift is my song and this one's for you And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple but now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song It's for people like you that keep it turned on So excuse me forgetting but these things I do You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue Anyway the thing is what I really mean Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen and finally, "God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys I may not always love you But long as there are stars above you You never need to doubt it I'll make you so sure about it God only knows what I'd be without you If you should ever leave me Though life would still go on believe me The world could show nothing to me So what good would living do me God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you If you should ever leave me Well life would still go on believe me The world could show nothing to me So what good would living do me God only knows what I'd be without you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

God is a place you will wait for the rest of your life. Two-headed boy, She is all could need. She will feed you tomoatoes, And radio wires, And retire to sheets safe and clean, But don't hate her when she gets up to leave." -"Two Headed Boy, Pt. 2"-Neutral Milk Hotel "I pretended you were Jesus, you were just dying to save me." -"Crazy for You (But Not that Crazy)"-The Magnetic Fields "She came and she touched me, With hands made of Heaven. Reflections left spinning, Through a face laced in mist. Now I stand where she left me, Buried deep 'neath her shadow, As the mirror pleads sadly, Has it all come to this? And I wonder-Will she call my name? The wind careens madly through, Wide windows paneless. Fragrances mingle, Through a room full of shade. The peons pick partners, And waltz across the ceiling. But the violins whisper, That I have been betrayed. Trying not to look ashamed. The drunkards drink deeply, From cups full of nothingness. Ghost lovers laugh, At the games people play. The moments do somersaults, Into eternity. Cling to thier coattails, And beg them to stay. Saying-I got nothing to hide. Illusions projected, On walls made of Tiffany. Mad minuets to, A sad satin song. Harlequin mandolins, Harmonize helplesly. Hoping that endlessly, Won't last for long Praying that their God ain't died. Then I turn and I see her, In a dress made of moonlight. Teardrops like diamonds, Run slow down her face. Her arms surround me, Like chains made of velvet. And the demons fall faithfully, Into their place. And the rivers run with jewels. Now the morning lies open. The night went quite quickly. Memory harmlessly, Fractures and fades. All the poets do push-ups, On carpets of rubber foam. Loudly they laugh, At some joke that's been made. And the wise men speak like fools." -"She Came And She Touched Me"-Townes Van Zandt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FroGG_NeaL 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 "Forgive Me" - Proof f/ 50 Cent Entire song Proof: Barely raised by my dysfunctional fam Here I stand as a dysfunctional man Quick-tempered, short-fused, and pissed at God Demons pullin at my soul 'til it's ripped apart Secret's out momma that fire I started it Fuck the fireman logic of the closet by the wire shit What's positive about a father that bust nuts then wussed up And a momma that don't show her son enough love Shit, that's why I run from my first son And force these chickenhead bitches to get abortions I'm married to game, my mistress is fame My girl Packed her clothes, shit, she know I ain't gon' change Go insane in a world evil as ours I done shot at houses, people and cars The deeper the scars, the worst is the history God you ain't gotta forgive me, just don't forget me, you hear me? [Chorus: 50 Cent] Lord forgive me, for I've sinned Over and over again just to stay, on top I recall memories, filled, with sin Over and over again.. and again [Proof] And most importantly I'm tryin to support my seeds Can't seem to get away from them courtin fees Embroidery, on my hood across my heart disorderly Breakin in houses of people who ain't got more than me Accordingly, I move in error Gotta face the fact though I can't fool this mirror Neglected my daughter and tryin to blame on how I was brought up like I'm a product of this environment, why ain't I shot up? Got up today like "Why you let me breathe again?" And with each breath I feel death is creepin in Thinkin sinners are winners and I'ma finish last My pen and pad record my life as each minute pass Passin minutes, I shook sin and shook drugs I did right by you but still you took Bugz Then caught me in adultery, fought me for not knowin through the dark streets you walked me, talked to me [Chorus: 50 Cent] Lord forgive me, for I've sinned Over and over again just to stay, on top I recall memories, filled, with sin Over and over again.. and again [Proof] It's the risk that's a rush so rush my wrists in the cuffs It's like a fight for yo' attention and love Speakin of Bugz, give me a hint from above If he not you know I wanna be sent when I'm done Kid outta wedlock so my lady's frontin I love Em, cause he gave me somethin A positive anything is better than a negative nothin I was on the edge of death ready to jump in It's hard when you can't find love anywhere And just because the reverend listen, don't mean he care Pops on crack with a sufferin past I dream in black and white, the world color me bad Other than sad, painful and stress Life is good with the webs that, tangle with death Control the bord, or control the score I have sinned amongst men and my soul is yours, yours [Chorus: 50 Cent] - 2x Lord forgive me, for I've sinned Over and over again just to stay, on top I recall memories, filled, with sin Over and over again.. and again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Copper Feel 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 Elvis Costello - Pump It Up: I've been on tenterhooks ending in dirty looks, list'ning to the Muzak, thinking 'bout this 'n' that. She said that's that. I don't wanna chitter-chat. Turn it down a little bit or turn it down flat. Pump it up when you don't really need it. Pump it up until you can feel it. Down in the pleasure centre, hell bent or heaven sent, listen to the propaganda, listen to the latest slander. There's nothing underhand that she wouldn't understand. Pump it up until you can feel it. Pump it up when you don't really need it. She's been a bad girl. She's like a chemical. Though you try to stop it, she's like a narcotic. You wanna torture her. You wanna talk to her. All the things you bought for her, putting up your temp'rature. Pump it up until you can feel it. Pump it up when you don't really need it. Out in the fashion show, down in the bargain bin, you put your passion out under the pressure pin. Fall into submission, hit-and-run transmission. No use wishing now for any other sin. Pump it up until you can feel it. Pump it up when you don't really need it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
