Your Best Song (with lyrics)

[Violator79]

Tom Petty

"Into The Great Wide Open" - good name for a porn song

Eddie waited till he finished high school
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
He met a girl out there with a tattoo too
The future was wide open

They moved into a place they both could afford
He found a nightclub he could work at the door
She had a guitar and she taught him some chords
The sky was the limit

Into the great wide open,
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open,
A rebel without a clue

The papers said Ed always played from the heart
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
They made a record and it went in the charts
T he sky was the limit

His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
They both met movie stars, partied and mingled
Their A&R man said "I don't hear a single"
The future was wide open

Into the great wide open,
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open,
A rebel without a clue

Into the great wide open,
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open,
A rebel without a clue

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers-You Don't Know How It Feels

Let me run with you tonight
I'll take you on a moonlight ride
There's someone I used to see
But she don't give a damn for me

But let me get to the point, let's roll another joint
And turn the radio loud, I'm too alone to be proud
You don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels to be me

People come, people go
Some grow young, some grow cold
I woke up in between
A memory and a dream

So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint
Let's head on down the road
There's somewhere I gotta go
And you don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels to be me

My old man was born to rock
He's still tryin' to beat the clock
Think of me what you will
I got a little space to fill

So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint
Let's head on down the road
There's somewhere I gotta go
And you don't know how it feels
No, you don't know how it feels to be me

Radiohead-Pyramid Song

I jumped in the river and what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
All the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

I jumped into the river
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

 

[WC-Madman]

The Beatles-Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds (also known as LSD, another one of the most trippiest songs i have ever heard)

{VERSE 1}
Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.

{REFRAIN}
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Ah... Ah...

{VERSE 2}
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmellow pies,
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you're gone.

{REFRAIN}

Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle,
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes.

{REFRAIN REPEATED AND FADED}

The Beatles-I Am The Walrus (Another trippy song)

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I'm crying.

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday.
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob

Mister City Policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row.
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run.
I'm crying, I'm crying.
I'm crying, I'm crying.

Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye.
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob.

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don't come, you get a tan
From standing in the English rain.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob goo goo goo joob.

Expert textpert choking smokers,
Don't you thing the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty,
See how they snied.
I'm crying.

Semolina pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower.
Elementary penguin singing Hari Krishna.
Man, you should have seen the kicking Edgar Allan Poe.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob goo goo goo joob, goo goo goo joob goo goo goo joob goo goo gooooooooooooo joooooooob

The Beatles-Eleanor Rigby

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from ?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong ?

Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near.
Look at him working. Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

 

[Violator79]

Nothing personal, but I never got into the Beatles. Most overrated band, along with Nirvana in my book. I like old Beatles music, but when they got trippy, that did it right there for me.

 

[WC-Madman]

Radiohead-Paranoid Android (Man i love this song!!)

Please could you stop the noise, I'm trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but not an android)
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but not an android)

When I am king, you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but no android)
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but no android)

Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking and squealing gucci little piggy
You don't remember
You don't remember
Why don't you remember my name?
Off with his head, man
Off with his head, man
Why don't you remember my name? I guess he does...

Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height... height...
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height... height...
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me

Whats this sir?
You're leaving
The crackle of pigskin
The dust and the screaming
The yuppies networking
The panic, the vomit
The panic, the vomit
God loves his children, God loves his children, yeah!

I am just discovering the beatles material, so i am just going as i hear it. From what i have heard, they were extremely talented at songwriting and playing. I actually enjoy their trippy stuff more than their earlier stuff, but that's just me. As i say about most things, it's not for everybody. As for Nirvana, I also thought they were quite talented. Just look at what Dave Grohl has done with the foo fighters. What i don't like is the fact that Kurt Cobain gets all the credit, while Grohl and Novaselic were part of the band too. As for bands being overrated, that's not their fault, that's the media's fault for putting too much pressure on them at too little of a time. Just my opinion. Keep on rockin and rollin!!

 

[WC-Madman]

Radiohead-Karma Police

Karma Police
Arrest this man
He talks in maths
He buzzeslikeafridge
He's like a detuned radio.

Karma Police, arrest this girl
Her Hitler hairdo
Is making me feel ill
And we have crashed her party

This is what you get
This is what you get
This is what you get..
when you mess with us.

Karma Police
I've given all that I can
It's not enough
I've given all that I can
But we're still on the payroll.

This is what you get
This is what you get
This is what you get..
when you mess with us.

For a minute there...
I lost myself.. I lost myself
Phew for a minute there,
I lost myself.. I lost myself

I agree that Nirvana got overexposed, but let's face it, Kurt Cobain was a pathetic excuse for a human being. I have no respect for him at all. He, and he alone ruined music. Before him, music was happy, care free, i.e. 80's. After he came around, and to this day, what's all the music about? Depression. Get the fuck over it already. Life's a bitch, we know that, but don't drag everyone down because you have no talent in music. Also any music where you can't understand what they're saying IS NOT MUSIC. It's noise, nothing else. And to finish this up, best tripping music ever made is by a band called Pink Floyd. They are the true masters.

 

[WC-Madman]

Mazzy Star-Fade Into You (A beautiful song, but absolutely depressing)

I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there.

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew

A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then smiles cover your heart

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you

I think it's strange you never knew
X2

I think it's strange you never knew

 

[WC-Madman]

Well, although i respect your opinions, i would have to disagree with you. On Kurt Cobain at least. But hey that's ok. As for Pink Floyd, yes, they truly are the kings of trippy music. Definitely one of my favorite bands of all time. The Syd Barrett years were some of the trippiest. He was really talented.

 

[WC-Madman]

Pink Floyd-Wish You Were Here (One of my fav Floyd songs, for obvious reasons as well as personal reasons)

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

 

[WC-Madman]

(last one for today)
The Beatles-There Are Places I Remember

There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain

All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

Though I remember I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life I’ll love you more

In my life I’ll love you more

 

[magnum opus]

Another one from The Bearded Ones - ZZ Top

FEARLESS BOOGIE


Call me a pretty boy
Call me a saint
Call me a sinner
It's gonnna be the same
Now I'm not afraid
And I'm not a fear
And I'm not a scared
Do the Fearless Boogie
Smokin' fealess boogie
Till its gone.
Call me a Pontiac
A ryth-a-ma-mig
Call me a Cadillac
Call me a wreak
I'm not afraid
I'm not ascared
I'm not gonna loose it
I'm not a feared
To do the fearless boogie
Smokin fearless boogie
Till its gone

Call me a lemon
Call me a fool
Call me a winner
Call me a mule
To do the fearless boogie
To do the fearless boogie
Smokin fesarless boogie
Till its gone, gone till the fear is gone

Now I'm going to throw my 2 cents into the pot and stir up some mud here but if you want "trippy" then you need to check out The Grateful Dead. These boys were most definitely "chemically inspired" Unfortunately I don't have access to any of my files with their lyrics, a friend has "borrowed" them. Once I have them I'll post an example.

 

[Tachi]

I agree that Nirvana got overexposed, but let's face it, Kurt Cobain was a pathetic excuse for a human being. I have no respect for him at all. He, and he alone ruined music. Before him, music was happy, care free, i.e. 80's. After he came around, and to this day, what's all the music about? Depression. Get the fuck over it already.

And to finish this up, best tripping music ever made is by a band called Pink Floyd. They are the true masters.

Yowch. Pretty harsh, don't you think? Do you actually own any music by Nirvana? I wasn't too worried about them a few years ago, but I've always admired them. Now I own 3 of their CDs. Kurt didn't try and write tarty fancy songs - He wrote songs about how he felt. I like the simplicity of most Nirvana songs - There's always a melody there, and if there isn't (Scentless Apprentice and Milk It to name a couple), there's always something else about the song that gives it class.

I'm no hardcore Nirvana fan. I just don't think you've grasped their music.

 

[Sutty]

I agree with Tachi here. I wasn't a hardcore Nirvana fan but i've got 3 of their CD's and i think Nevermind is an all time great album. Who says music has to be all happy and uplifting, some of the greatest songs ever written have been downright depressing. One of the greatest bands of the 80's (at least in the UK) - The Smiths - wrote the most depressing songs ever. Take this lyric.

"And if a ten ton truck, killed the both of us, to die by your side, oh the pleasure, the privilege is mine"

I can get inspired by depressing songs just as much as happy and care free stuff without wanting to slit my throat.

 

[Violator79]

I may not agree with what you think about Nirvana, but I respect it and I'm not holding it against you. I just don't feel Kurt Cobain did anything for music except ruin it, and hopefully for not forever. Look at the 60's music. I'm 24, but I love it. Why? The songs say something and they blow your mind. Take my 2nd fav song Sound of Silence. That's a song for the ages. Of one the most powerful songs ever made. You can hear what he says and understand it. You had all the music through the 90's. The 70's were more dancing and jive soul music, but I can take it. 80's were nothing but happy music. Making you feel alive and bringing the joy of music out. Then came Nirvana. They screamed, didn't understand what they said, and took the joy of music away. Now there are some songs I can deal with these days, but for the most part, thanks to Nirvana and it's spinoffs, music is shit. I will always believe that and will always say the best music ever made was from 1960's- 1980's. As I said before, Nirvana made music depressing and sad, not happy as it was or mind blowing in the 60's. All you have is music about complication, anger, drugs, suicide and violence. Nice messages there right? My brother loves today's music and I still don't know what he sees in it. But that's him. Me, when I have kids, I'll be damned if they'll listen to the shit on the radio. But hopefully by then music will be different and so will the messages it brings to the table. I'm sorry for feeling like this, but I do. Music is a big part of my life and it's something I hold on to very closely.
