I love the lyrics to Semisonic's Never You Mind:

Saturday morning along and barely feeling
Sitting at home after rocking and a-reeling
All night in a cat fight
With the only one that can make me cry

Open the blinds and the world is in rotation
Shaking my mind like an Etch-a-Sketch erasing
Sunshine, you were bad, i?m
Still mad but I can?t remember why

I believe you know me well
I react like you?re ringing a bell
Are you sorry that you treat me unkind
Never you mind

Rolling along to the song that aggravates us
Beckoned on by the mirage of an oasis
Hurry, I?m getting blurry
And it?s no longer clear in my mind

I believe you know me well
I react like you?re ringing a bell
Are you sorry that you treat me unkind
Never you mind

I believe I got you down
You react like anybody else around
Are you sorry that we wasted our time
Never you mind

Sometimes it takes all my time guessing why
I can?t figure it out
Sometimes it takes all my energy just to forget about
All the memories that I?d be better off without
I believe you know me well...

Switch on the box Mr. Spock is on the table
Dr. McCoy is unable to connect his brain
Sweatin' and strainin'
Well it seemed so simple at the time.


Wonderful song, full of jokes (Star Trek, Blur/Oasis reference which was a bit more relevant at the time, etc). In fact, that entire album is jam-packed with great lyrics, especially the better-known Closing Time and the beautiful Singing In My Sleep.

@Daka: I always thought Stinkfist was pretty obvious really :( - it's about that pleasure/pain line and submission to your lover.

If we're talking Tool, I prefer the somewhat similarly-themed Prison Sex :) Lyrically speaking, A Perfect Circle are much more interesting, especially The Nurse Who Loved Me:

Say hello to the rug's topography
It holds quite a lot of interest with your face down on it
Say hello to the shrinking in your head
You can't see it but you know its there so don't neglect it

I'm taking her home with me all dressed in white
She's got everything I need; pharmacy keys
She's falling hard for me I can see it in her eyes
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys

Say hello to all the apples on the ground
They were once in your eyes but you sneezed them out while sleeping
Say hello to everything you've left behind
It's even more a part of your life now that you can't touch it

I'm taking her home with me all dressed in white
She's got everything I need; some pills in a little cup
She's falling hard for me I can see it in her eyes
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys

Say hello to the rug's topography...


The rest of their stuff is great too - can't help but love Lullaby :P

Ah, now worst lyrics, that's fun :) A personal bugbear would have to be Gwen Stefani (Now 100% non-punk! With added wannabe-urban and new, improved 3/4-length trousers!) and her most pleasant effort in "Take a chance you stupid ho" (repeat ad infinitum), but the crown surely goes to this sterling effort: "Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money. Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny." :(

Another great song well hard to choose from this group, but underrated imo, also can't think up some bad lyrics atm, but funny lyrics come to mind I'm in a band with an italian drummer by Bruce Dickinson (This one is hilarious, do a search for it, just maddness that song)

10. The Thin Line Between Love And Hate

[Murray, Harris]

When a person turns to wrong, is it a want to be, belong?
Part of things at any cost, at what price a life is lost

At what point do we begin, fighter spirit a will to win
But what makes a man decide, take the wrong or righteous road

There's a thin line between love and hate
Wider divide that you can see between good and bad
There's a grey place between black and white
But everyone does have the right to choose the path that he takes

We all like to put the blame on society these days
But what kind of good or bad a new generation brings

Sometimes take just more than that to survive be good at heart
There is evil in some of us no matter what will never change

I will hope, my soul will fly, so I will live forever
Heart will die, my soul will fly, and I will live forever

Just a few small tears between someone happy and one sad
Just a thin line drawn between being a genius or insane

At what age begin to learn of which way out we will turn
There's a long and winding road and the trail is there to burn

There's a thin line between love and hate
Wider divide that you can see between good and bad
There's a grey place between black and white
But everyone does have the right to choose the path that he takes

I will hope, my soul will fly, so I will live forever
Heart will die, my soul will fly, and I will live forever

I will hope, my soul will fly, so I will live forever
Heart will die, my soul will fly, and I will live forever

The thin line between love and hate

The thin line between love and hate

This doesnt meen anything at all but its hilarious (at least i think so... i ecspecialy like the first verse... the third isnt all that great) and it proves that eminem is (was) a funny as heck rhyming genius: (had to censor alot :( )

4 Verses

I'm ice grillin you, starin you down with a gremlin grin
I'm Eminem, you're a *ag in a women's gym
I'm Slim, the Shady is really a fake alias
to save me with in case I get chased by space aliens
A brainiac, with a cranium packed, full of more uranium
than a maniac Saudi Arabian
A highly combustible head, spazmatic
strapped to a Kraftmatic adjustable bed
Laid up in the hospital in critical condition
I flatlined; jumped up and ran from the mortician
High speed, IV full of thai weed
Lookin Chinese, with my knees stuck together like siamese
twins, joined at the groin like ***bians
Uhh, pins and needles, hypodermic needles and pins
I hope God forgives me for my sins -- it probably all depends
on if I keep on killin my girlfriends

(Yo!)
Last night I O.D.'d on rush, mushrooms and dust
and got rushed to the hospital to get my system flushed (don't
fall)
(Shucks!) I'm an alcoholic and that's all I can say
I call in to work, cause all I do is frolic and play
I swallow grenades, and take about a bottle a day
of Tylenol 3, and talk about how violent I'll be (don't fall)
(RRARRRRH)
Give me eleven Excederin my head'll spin
Medicine'll get me revvin like (ohhh) a 747 jet engine
Scratched my balls til I shredded skin
"Doctor, check this rash, look how red it's been"
"It's probably AIDS!" Forget it then
I strike a still pose and hit you with some ill flows
that don't even make sense, like dykes usin ***dos
So reach in your billfolds, for ten ducats
and pick up this Slim Shady crapola that's on Rawkus

This place is my house, I might as well erase my face wit
white-out
Cuz y'all can't see me like Mase's eyebrows (where you at?)
Climbed out of a nice house,
through the front window and heard this guy shout
"Hey that's my couch, heyyyy!"
Pull a nine out during a rhyme bout
While I'm rippin this **it, put a clip in it spit five rounds
And murder you hoes worse than flippin a convertible
Nose first wit the top off landin upside-down
You're tied down and duct-taped, f**k rape
I'd rather just hump a ***t's leg wit my nuts shaved
And Sway & Tech, two disk jockeys
Breakin so many friggin needles I wonder if they inject

Met a retarded kid named Greg with a wooden leg
Snatched it off and beat him over the f**king head with the peg
Go to bed with the keg wake up with the 40
Mixed up with Alka Seltzer and Formula 44D
F**k an acid tab I'll strap the whole sheet to my forehead
Wait until it absorbed in and fell to the floor dead
No more said case closed end of discussion
I'm blowin up like spontaneous human combustion
Leaving you in the aftermath of holocaust and traumas
Cross the bombas
We blowin up your house killing your parents
and coming back to get your foster mommas
And I'm as good at keeping a promise as Nostradamus
Cause I aint making no more threats
I'm doing drivebys in tinted Corvettes on Vietnam war vets
I'm more or less sick in the head
Maybe more cause I smoked crack
today, yesterday, and the day before sabbath
Walk the block with a labrador
Strapit more corral for war than El Salvador
Foul style galore
Verbal cow manure
Coming together like the eyebrow on Al (cut)

Metallica -The Unforgiven (Hetfield, Ulrich) Quite possibly some of the best ever.


New blood joins this earth
And quikly he's subdued
Through constant pain disgrace
The young boy learns their rules
With time the child draws in
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on, he's known
A vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they'll take away

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven

They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub the unforgiven

You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven

Metallica
"Nothing else matters"

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No nothing else matters

The only rap I'm ever going to know all the lyrics to.

Beastie Boys : Intergalactic

"Intergalactic Planetary Planetary Intergalactic"
"Intergalactic Planetary Planetary Intergalactic"
"Intergalactic Planetary Planetary Intergalactic"
"Intergalactic Planetary Planetary Intergalactic"
"Another Dimension Another Dimesnsion"
"Another Dimension Another Dimesnsion"
"Another Dimension Another Dimesnsion"
"Another Dimension Another Dimesnsion"
"Another Dimension Another Dimesnsion"
"Another Dimension Another Dimesnsion"

Well now don't you tell me to smile
You stick around I'll make it worth your while
Got numbers beyond what you can dial
Maybe it's because I'm so versatile
Style profile I said
It always brings me back when I hear Ooh Child
From the Hudson River out to the Nile
I run the marathon just up until the very last mile
Well if you battle me I will revile
People always say my style is wild
You've got gall you've got guile guile
To step to me I'm a rapophile
If you want to battle you're in denial
Coming from Uranus to check my style
Go ahead put my rhymes on trial
Cast you off into exile

"Intergalactic Planetary Planetary Intergalactic"
"Intergalactic Planetary Planetary Intergalactic"

Jazz and Awol that's our team
Step inside the party disrupt the whole scene
When it comes to beats well I'm a fiend
I like my sugar with coffee and cream
Well I gotta' keep it going keep it going full steam
Too sweet to be sour too nice to be mean
Well on the tough guy style I'm not too keen
To try to change the world I will plot and scheme
Mario C likes to keep it clean clean
Gonna' shine like a sunbeam beam
Keep on rappin' cause that's my dream dream
Got an A from Moe Dee for sticking to themes
Now when it comes to envy y'all is green
Jealous of the rhyme and the rhyme routine tine
Another dimension new galaxy
Intergalactic planetary

"Intergalactic Planetary Planetary Intergalactic"
"Intergalactic Planetary Planetary Intergalactic"
"Intergalactic Planetary Planetary Intergalactic"
"Intergalactic Planetary Planetary Intergalactic"

Well from the family tree of old school hip-hop
Kick off your shoes and relax your socks
The rhymes will spread just like a pox
'Cause the music is live like an electric shock
I am known to do the Wop wop
Also known for the Flintstone Flop flop
Tammy D getting biz on the crop crop
Beastie Boys known to let the beat drop
"Mmmh..drop" "Do it"
Now when I wrote graffiti my name was Slop
If my rap's soup my beats is stock
Step from the tables when I start to chop
I'm a lumber jack DJ Adrock
If you try to knock me you'll get mocked
I'll stir fry you in my wok
Your knees'll start shaking and your fingers pop
Like a pinch on the neck of Mr. Spock

"Intergalactic Planetary Planetary Intergalactic"
"Intergalactic Planetary Planetary Intergalactic"
"Intergalactic Planetary Planetary Intergalactic"
"Intergalactic Planetary Planetary Intergalactic"
"Another Dimension Another Dimesnsion"
"Another Dimension Another Dimesnsion"
"Another Dimension Another Dimesnsion"
"Another Dimension Another Dimesnsion"
"Another Dimension Another Dimesnsion"
"Another Dimension Another Dimesnsion"

"Do it"

Just so stupid, it makes no sense :(

Serious lyrics tho'
Deep Purple : Sail Away

If you?re driftin? on an empty ocean
With no wind to fill your sail,
The future, your horizon,
It?s like searchin? for the holy grail.
You feel there?s no tomorrow
As you look into the water below.
It?s only your reflection
And you still ain?t got no place to go.

Time will show,
When, I don?t know.

Sail away tomorrow,
Sailin? far away.
To find it steal or borrow.
I?ll be there someday

Oh, woman, I keep returnin
To sing the same old song.
The story?s been told, now I?m gettin? old.
Tell me,where do I belong?
Feel like I?m goin? to surrender,
Nard times I?ve had enough.
If I could find a place to hide my face,
I believe, I could get back up.

Time will show,
When, I don?t know.

Sail away tomorrow,
Sailin? far away.
To find it steal or borrow.
But I?ll be there someday

Sail away tomorrow,
Sailin? far away.
To find it steal or borrow.
But I?ll be there someday

Sail away tomorrow,
Sailin? far away.
To find it steal or borrow.
But I?ll be there someday
