MuzikTyme Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 How 'bout a boy named Sue? My daddy left home when I was three And he didn't leave much to ma and me Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze. Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid But the meanest thing that he ever did Was before he left, he went and named me "Sue." Well, he must o' thought that is quite a joke And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk, It seems I had to fight my whole life through. Some gal would giggle and I'd get red And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head, I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Sue." Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean, My fist got hard and my wits got keen, I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame. But I made a vow to the moon and stars That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars And kill that man who gave me that awful name. Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July And I just hit town and my throat was dry, I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew. At an old saloon on a street of mud, There at a table, dealing stud, Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me "Sue." Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had, And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye. He was big and bent and gray and old, And I looked at him and my blood ran cold And I said: "My name is 'Sue!' How do you do! Now your gonna die!!" Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes And he went down, but to my surprise, He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear. But I busted a chair right across his teeth And we crashed through the wall and into the street Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer. I tell ya, I've fought tougher men But I really can't remember when, He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile. I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss, He went for his gun and I pulled mine first, He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile. And he said: "Son, this world is rough And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough And I knew I wouldn't be there to help ya along. So I give ya that name and I said goodbye I knew you'd have to get tough or die And it's the name that helped to make you strong." He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight And I know you hate me, and you got the right To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do. But ya ought to thank me, before I die, For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you "Sue.'" I got all choked up and I threw down my gun And I called him my pa, and he called me his son, And I came away with a different point of view. And I think about him, now and then, Every time I try and every time I win, And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him Bill or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name!

MuzikTyme Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I adore Radiohead. Thanks, you-two, for mentioning. Here's my favourite by them... Creep When you were here before, Couldn't look you in the eye You're just like an angel, Your skin makes me cry You float like a feather In a beautiful world I wish I was special You're so very special But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doin' here? I don't belong here I don't care if it hurts, I wanna have control I want a perfect body I want a perfect soul I want you to notice when I'm not around You're so very special I wish I was special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doin' here? I don't belong here, ohhhh, ohhhh She's running out the door She's running out She run run run run... run... Whatever makes you happy Whatever you want You're so very special I wish I was special But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doin' here? I don't belong here I don't belong here...

Viaene Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 But their lyrics are way more sophisticated and thought-through then emo and their music is very unlike most emo music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 They're a bit more upfront about their emo-ness, yes Nah, I just don't like that 'Creep' song... I just keep wishing they're trying to be ironic. Even Kurt Cobain - the guy who shot himself - was being sarcastic when he penned "I Hate Myself And I Want To Die" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viaene Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 They detest their own 'creep' song you know Sure they make music with dark and depressing lyrics, but the biggest difference (next to the above mentioned) with emo would be that emo music all sounds alike and Radiohead sounds original and independant, tries out new sounds, etc.. Because they make music that might depress you, it isn't emo and the have happy songs, and Happy sounding songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 "What A Good Boy" - Barenaked Ladies When I was born, they looked at me and said what a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy. And when you were born, they looked at you and said, what a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl. We've got these chains that hang around our necks, people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath. Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same, when temptation calls, we just look away. [Chorus] This name is the hairshirt I wear, and this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair. This song is the cross that I bear, bear it with me, bear with me, bear with me, be with me tonight, I know that it isn't right, but be with me tonight. I go to school, I write exams, if I pass, if I fail, if I drop out, does anyone give a damn? And if they do, they'll soon forget 'cause it won't take much for me to show my life ain't over yet. I wake up scared, I wake up strange. I wake up wondering if anything in my life is ever going to change. I wake up scared, I wake up strange and everything around me stays the same. [Chorus] I couldn't tell you that I was wrong, chickened out, grabbed a pen and paper, sat down and I wrote this song. I couldn't tell you that you were right, so instead I looked in the mirror, watched TV, laid awake all night. We've got these chains, hang 'round our necks, people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath. Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same when temptation calls ... [Chorus] When I was born, they looked at me and said; What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy. And when you were born, they looked at you and said; what a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl, hey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I´m waiting for spanish hubby to tell me "Stop it, will ya?!" By the time I get to Phoenix Glenn Campbell By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin' 'Cause I've left that girl so many times before By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working She'll prob'ly stop at lunch and give me a call But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin' Off the wall that's all By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin' She'll turn softly and call my name out loud And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her Tho' time and time I try to tell her so She just didn't know I would really go.

Farin Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Hey Foxymophandlemama, That's Me ~ Pearl Jam ""Hey Foxymophandlemama, That's Me" is essentially just a lot of distorted feedback, some drumming, and mixed, distorted and looped recordings of real patients from a psychiatric hospital." I had taped something off the tv when I was maybe 17 or something and I think it was people who had mental problems who were being let out of the hospitals early because the states were taking away funding for mental hospitals so they were setting these folks out without the necessary care but it was still very intriguing the way their mind worked and what they would say and we experimented and tried to incorporate it into what to date is our most emotional and moving song. Video don't you want people to love you? my spanking, that's the only thing i want so much... spanking, that's the only thing i want so much... that's the only thing i want so much... don't you want people to love you? my spanking, that's the only thing i want so much... that's the only thing i want so much... why is that better than being hugged? why is that better than being hugged? because you get closer to the person... closer to the person... why is that better than being hugged? because you get closer to the person... closer to the person... just like a person having sex feels cared for... we wanna be loved, so we have sex together... and they feel loved about that... and this is the way it makes me feel...loved... i want it, i dream about it, i think about it, i want it... just like a girl wants sex with a boy, you know? it's the way i'll always be probably... my last one was born in the system... see, they're stupid, very stupid, those people over there... they're stupid... these people are so below mentality, honest to god, really... you know what i mean, he got the nerve to bug me... you know what i mean, he got the nerve to bug me... this mentality, honest to god, really... you know what i mean, he got the nerve to bug me... honest to god, really... you know what i mean, he got the nerve to bug me... bug me...bug me...he got the nerve to bug me... everything seems so eight ball... everything seems so eight ball... and i, i don't know if that's my imagination, but, umm... hey foxymophandlemama, that's me... and i don't know if that's my imagination, but, umm... hey foxymophandlemama, that's me... hey foxymophandlemama, that's me... think they got me... hey foxymophandlemama, that's me...hmm... hey foxymophandlemama, that's me... ...know if that's my imagination, but, umm... hey foxymophandlemama, that's me... she prides herself on her cleaning habits... she prides herself on her cleaning habits... hey foxymophandlemama, that's me... she prides herself on her cleaning habits... she prides herself on her cleaning habits... it's a lovely stupid mop, it is... there's something really screwey about no streaking... is it any old dumb mop? it streaks... come on mop, no streaking mop... i don't mind mop the floor, my mop streaks, i don't like it... it's not me, it's the mop... come, i bought some new mops... go away you stupid, dumb old sponge mop... i don't believe it...now the floor looks beautiful... i don't believe it...now the floor looks beautiful... i don't believe it...old sponge mop... dumb old sponge mop... dumb old sponge mop... old sponge mop... dumb old sponge mop... you're right, this mop's stupid... dumb old sponge mop... i don't believe it...now the floor looks beautiful... that's why they call me mophandlemama... now the floor looks beautiful... that's why they call me mophandlemama... that's why they call me mophandlemama... that's why they call me mophandlemama... in two weeks, before she could see herself not dressed... the twenty-third of may...you know she disturbed no one today... the manager told her to completely forget... if you ever go to bed, i'll kill you... do i tell the whole world that i'm mentally ill? go to the papers...yeah, why not? drum roll... i want to show them that i can walk on my own without hands of theirs... and, i can still fantasize, but i keep it to myself... keep it to myself...keep it to myself... i think i deserve to be loved, don't you? very much so... think i deserve to be loved... keep it to myself...keep it to myself... i think i deserve to be loved, don't you? ...to be loved, don't you? but i keep it to myself... keep it to myself...keep it to myself... i think i deserve to be loved, don't you? and, i can still fantasize, but i keep it to myself... keep it to myself...keep it to myself... i think i deserve to be loved, don't you? very much so... do you ever think that you would actually, really kill yourself? well, if i have thought about it real, uhh, real deep... yes, i believe i would... i have thought about it real, uhh, real deep... yes, i believe i would... and, i can still fantasize, but i keep it to myself... keep it to myself...keep it to myself... ...that i can walk without hands of theirs... and, i can still fantasize, but i keep it to myself... keep it to myself...keep it to myself... i think i deserve to be loved, don't you? ...that i can walk without hands of theirs... and, i can still fantasize, but i keep it to myself... keep it to myself...keep it to myself... i think i deserve to be loved, don't you? very much so... do you ever think that you actually would kill yourself? well, if i have thought about it real, uhh, real deep... yes, i believe i would...
