I'm writing imaginary lyrics for the "N.E.W.S" album

No this thread was not about something else before smile



NORTH


The winter was so cold and dark; no birds left on the wire
and all the wanna-B musicians sold their works 4 hire.
The snow piled on Ur guitar whilst U slept beside the fire
Tell me, how U'll write a song of Truth when U're a Liar?

Chorus:
Frozen from the waist up-
still concerned with make-up
counting cash and adoration
whilst in mental hibernation


coming from the North, I'll say
cultivate a wide array
of classic tunes and then one day
people might just stop to listen
what you got to say

The breeze came from the Arctic and it blew U from the chart
as all the labels lined to gun U down with poisoned darts
eye'm sorry but eye don't feel sorry -U don't know the art
So why should eye console U when the system breaks Ur heart?
eye told U "count your assets in this game b4 it starts"

Bite my frost, U nucklehead
search 4 kinship in Ur bed
search 4 reasons in Ur head
and maybe U'll find intellect

Tick, tick, dang, and DISCONNECT

[this is Ur operator speaking...please SHUT UP and dial again]

Nah, the phone ain't broke my dear
eye just don't wanna talk 2 U,
cuz U are

Frozen from the waist up
still concerned with make-up
counting cash and adoration
whilst in mental hiberanation

[cash can't buy affiliation]
[what's that smell? Ur lubrication?]

Shut up! Yeah, U heard me
Look at me, eye might be frail, but eye can still stand strong
2 play my guitar in this arctic breeze when summer's gone
Perhaps U should have thought of that b4 U went along
and gave up everything that matters 4 Max Martin's song
Don't front, U know eye understand, eye told U all along

[that U were]

Frozen from the waist up
still concerned with make-up
counting cash and adoration
whilst in mental hibernation

Nah, U can't get down with me, and NO eye will not fuck U
Who the hell U think eye am? My dear, eye 'm not Magoo!
U ask me 2 forget the things that happened? Sorry, no can do
Please don't cry, Ur paste will run: Max Factor on Ur shoes
And now, if U'll excuse me eye 'll go check up on my grooves

The winter was co cold and dark, no birds left on the wire
A virgin mary, self proclaimed, U laid Ur pop messiah
The winter might be cold and dark Ur loin will burn like fire
Tell me how U'll sing a song of Truth when U're a liar?

[please shut up and dial again]


evillol evillol evillol



EAST


The army's publicist proclaimed
"Our god will grant us victory"
The Father laughed in soft disdain
and saught refuge accordingly
The onslaught comes b4 the dawn
if you cannot save the whole world
be content to move just 1 pawn

R U ready 4 the cleansing?
R U ready 4 the dawn?

So this here girl -Say what's your name? "Vanilla"
So this here girl Vanilla, she gots a taste 4 gettin down
on corporal enslavement, see she sells it by the pound
She says it doesn't matter why -it's useless to deny
the shockadelic dollarbill that comes with every high
-"U weird"

But honey, listen up, U hear me? "Yeah, my ears are open"
Tell me, when the grooves run silent, then what will U do?
Once they take away Ur Merc and all Ur Prada shoes?
"Then what will eye do?" -The question's posed 2 U..
Can't U see that when Ur finished THEY won't pull U Through?

Chorus:
Evolution's high on steroids, corporal exploits
eye'd rather be the missing link than end up like Nsync
So If U's ready 4 the cleansing, If U's ready 4 the dawn
Come on down and eye will show U how 2 move Ur pawn


Vanilla? "What?" U still here? "Where else would eye B ?"
Nowhere, lest U come around 2 hang and play with me.
eye'll wrap U up in garnements unlike the world has seen
won't U rather B my girl than Warner's pop-scene queen?
eye'll play my guitar on this mount untill they set you FREE.

Evolution's high on steroids, corporal exploits
eye'd rather be the missing link than end up like Nsync
So If U's ready 4 the cleansing, If U's ready 4 the dawn
Come on down and eye will show U how 2 move Ur pawn

"Baby?" -Tell me!- "Will eye" -What?- "Still make it 2 the charts?"
Whatever hand Ur dealt my dear, the cards will B UR cards
And who can tell the outcome of this game B4 it starts?
All eye have 2 offer is a trunk of grooves that beat like hearts
The freedom that is brings is surely 2 good 2 discard...

"Ok, Let's Go!

Hold Up! One more word
Eventhough U might have heard
2 write a song is 2 give birth
2 have them on a cd's worth
A lot, but not the goddamn earth!

We'll travell to the East and we'll
rekindle what was once our law
Before we fell into this trap
of optical illusions
and forgot what we once saw


Takecontrollofthisheresoulandbreakthemoldaswe'llconsolethetruththatwillbetold


rolleyes rolleyes rolleyes



WEST

Divide in me them objects of desire,
this horrid taste 4 counting Time.
Allow my soul 2 levitate above me,
set free through an hypnotic rhyme
pouring from Ur chisseled lips,
eye'll reach beyond the depths of Night
2 places where Ur burning eyes
remain….my only source of light.


The pillars of the west have cast their omnipresent shadow
but U shine like a diamond freed from all surrounding coal


Guiding, through reverberations of
the necessary flaws 2 B uplifting.
eye'll walk my way and rest assured;
-Following Ur morsels, sifting
through the underground and eye'll be
no more apprehensive in my grief.
The author of my own decline,
eye've been, and if U don't believe,

Then let us usher in the night now
hung upon the astral sisters of our
own elliptic sun. And rhyme in me
the sole rebirth of nautical devour.


The pillars of the west have cast their omnipresent shadow
but U shine like a diamond freed from all surrounding coal


Bereft me, with a quivering tongue
of inhibitions needlessly harboured.
We'll wrap our loins in Arab cloth,
in fabrics most exquisitely tailored.
eye'll find us a sailor 2 steer this ship:
-'Vessel Of The Night That Never Dies'.
A dawn distilled in Western spheres;
relenting, agreeing to compromise.


As the shadows spread across the land,
and travell down toward the south
Your light shines like a halo
as your lips press to my mouth
From this day forth these are the things
we shall no longer live without



sigh sigh sigh




SOUTH


Intro: [spoken word]

An onslaught lies at the heart of
A revolution sold
But somehow Truth will still prevail
2 break the strongest mold..

Babylon!
eye’ve seen your garden crumble -
Every king will come 2 tumble
Down the vortex of decay
And Love will live 2 C the day
When everyman can heave a sigh
[a sigh a sigh, a joyful cry]
When Truth will banish every lie.

Chorus:
Dreaming of U, Eye remain
Translucent & Ethereal
In southern spheres, where last refrains
Ring highly unconventional


Sakkara!
eye’ve seen your pyramids bow down
Where statuettes unveiled from stone
as foreign prisoners begged for mercy
From a half god’s throne
But darling, U stood in the shadow
Kin to none and all alone
eye had 2 come and talk 2 U
eye had 2 take U home.

Chorus:
Dreaming of U, Eye remain
Translucent & Ethereal
In southern spheres, where last refrains
Ring highly unconventional


And eye’ll come back forever more
eye’ll B your father and your son
kindred flame, sprung from Ur loins
Electric current: twin 2 sun.
And U and eye will cherish our
descent and we’ll devour
every lone endorphin till
the utmost love is ours.

Hmm, not really. This was initially a topic with only
the first poem, now retitled "North".

It was a topic concerning Young And Beautiful and I
was just wondering if it was about Britney.

If so, I proposed the first lyric as a replacement

Any lyrics should incluse a big shout of "WAKEUP!" every couple of minutes to prevent people going to sleep and running their cars off the road. wink
