Every LYRIC Tell's a Story Don't It?

[BadCoverVersion]

Okay, this could be a right raving SUCCESS, or it could fail miserably and wind up floating down shit-creek faster than the latest 'Bennifer' vehicle.

But let's not be CYNICAL...anyway, the aim of the game is to create a semi-coherent story using song lyrics...don't just post any old wank for shits and giggles, do at least ATTEMPT to make sense of the shebang if you will...ya know ;).

Anyway, let's go team...HUH! and stuff.

Oh, and it'd be handy if you could put the group/artist too.

I'll kick off with:


There is a man, a certain man...

The Union Forever, The White Stripes

[bowieee]

~His wife was a spent piece of used jet trash
Made good bloody-marys, kept her mouth
Shut most of the time, had a little chihuahua
Named carlos that had some kind of skin
Disease and was totally blind.~

Franks wild years: Tom Waits

[paul calf]

he's a worker for the council
has been 20 years
and he takes no lip off nobody
and litter off the gutter
puts it in a bag
and never thinks to mutter.

dignity-deacon blue.

[Indiana Sev]

In a couple of years they have built
A home sweet home
With a couple of kids running in the yard

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da ~ The Beatles

[bowieee]

~They're taking her children away
Because they said she was not a good mother
They're taking her children away
Because of the things that they heard she had done
The black air force sergeant was not the first one
And all of the drugs she took, every one, every one~

Thought I would make this a bleak story
:)

from the kids: Lou Reed

~And there's nothing to follow
There's nowhere to go
She's gone like the summer
gone like the snow
And the crickets are breaking
his heart with their song
as the day caves in
and the night is all wrong ~


Ballad of the Absent Mare: Leonard Cohen

In the real-time world no one sees her at all, they all say she's crazy

Once again, I'm in trouble with my only friend
She is papering the window panes
She is putting on a smile
Living in a glass house

Living in a Glass House - Radiohead

But she's not afraid to die
all her friends call her ";Alaska";
When she takes speed, they laugh and ask her
What is in her mind?
What is in her mind?

Caroline Says Part II - Lou Reed (Berlin)

[SubMethod]

And in the first moment of her waking up
She knows she's losing it, yeah she's losing it
When the first cup of coffee tastes like washing up
She knows she's losing it, yeah she's losing it
Yeah she's losing it

She's Losing It - Belle and Sebastian

And brushes her long blonde hair

Though time and time I've told her so

-some country song I don't know the name or singer of

[paul calf]

ah bollox too late

[paul calf]

She’s been in disguise forever
She’s tried to disguise her stellar views
Much brighter than all this static
Now she’s coming through

she's a star-james

[bowieee]

~Like I heard her
Backwards saying
I can take one thousand
Showers
And never be clean
Of course she lied away
She is ten times heavier
Stronger, then you found~

Ice Water: Cat Power

P.S. This thread is quite fun :)

Do you realize
That you have the most beautiful face?
Do you realize
We're floating in space?
Do you realize
That happiness makes you cry?
Do you realize
That everyone you know someday will die?

Do You Realize?? - The Flaming Lips

[Annie Hall]

You'll never live like common people,
you'll never do what common people do,
you'll never fail like common people,
you'll never watch your life slide out of view,
and dance and drink and screw,
because there's nothing else to do.

You're not moving

You know, I wish that I had Jessie's girl, I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I want Jessie's girl, where can I find a woman like that, like
Jessie's girl, I wish that I had Jessie's girl, I want, I want Jessie's girl

Jessie's Girl by Rick Springfield

[bowieee]

~Well, she's back with her old boyfriend,
he don't challenge her, he don't contend with her.
And she don't answer the cards you send,
and you're jealous of the time that he spends with her.

Just let her go into the darkness,
let her learn from all the things there.
Let her go into the darkness,
let her go, let her go, let her go.~

Let her go into the darkness: Jonathan Richman

I wish I had two paths that I could follow

‘cause she's my best friend's girl
well she's my best friend's girl-irl
and she used to be mine

Check this out
The sun went down when I hit Slausson
on my way to the strip, now I'm just flossin
Checkin my rearview, cause niggaz they will do
jack moves, black fools cause I smack fools
Try to set me up for a two-eleven
Fuck around and get caught up in a one-eight-seven
