Cool Lyrics

[House of Mustard]

I was there when the bear ate his hair and thought it was a candy.

[fuzzyoctopus]

Gah, curse you Dave Matthews.  

I'd like to say that I spent WAY too many hours analyzing that song in my head trying to find a deeper meaning to that line.

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

Well, its really rather easy. The bear symbolizes the universe and the candy, us. When eaten the universe makes what it will of us, and in the end we really are just protein.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

carbs, sir metaphor mixer. Candy tends to have carbs, not protein.

"It's 3am," she said. "Who are you, Matchbox 20?"
She said, "Are you getting rest?" Sarcastic, I said "Plenty."

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

They say no one person can do it all but you want to in your head
But you can't be Shakespeare and you can't be Joyce
So what is left instead
You're stuck with yourself.
...
As you pass through fire try to remember its name. When you pass through fire licking at your lips you cannot remain the same. And if the builing's burning move towards that door but don't put the flames out
There's a bt of magic in everything
and then some loss to even things out.

[Fellfrosch]

Starry starry night.
Portraits hung in empty halls,
Nameless heads on frameless walls,
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the strangers that you've met:
The ragged men with ragged clothes.
A silver thorn, a bloody rose
Lies crushed and broken on the virgin sand.

[fuzzyoctopus]

Would you lie just to prove a point?
And would you lie about lies you've told?
You're so pretty when I dress you in your fables.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

Here's hoping you don't become a robot
CLANG! CLANG!
Too late.

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

Speak softly, drive a Sherman tank
Laugh hard, it's a long way to the bank

[House of Mustard]

She feeds me love and tenderness and macaroons.

[Onion of Death]

Speak softly, drive a Sherman tank
Laugh hard, it's a long way to the bank

That seems familiar to me. Modest Mouse?

[Onion of Death]

If the winter won't turn me
Then the summer can't burn me
And the rain will never
Fall upon a restless soul
Nothing is alone...

[GorgonlaVacaTremendo]

Onion, you are obseessed with that song.  I think it's time for a re-education program...

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

That seems familiar to me. Modest Mouse?
