Post a PROFOUND lyric The Big Muddy:
Billy had a mistress down on 'A' and 12th She was that little somethin' that he did for himself His own little secret, didn't hurt nobody Come the afternoon he'd take her wadin'... Waist-deep in The Big Muddy Waist-deep in The Big Muddy You start out standing but end up crawlin', buddy Got in some trouble and needed a hand from a friend of mine This old friend, he had a figure in mind It was nothing illegal, just a little bit funny He said "C'mon - don't tell me that the rich don't know, sonny Sooner or later it all comes down to money" And you're waist-deep in The Big Muddy Waist-deep in The Big Muddy You start on higher ground but end up crawlin', buddy Well I had a friend said "You watch what you do Poison snake bites you and you're poison too" How beautiful the river flows and the birds they sing But you and I, we're messier things There ain't no one leavin' this world, buddy Without their shirttail dirty Or their hands a little bloody Waist-deep in The Big Muddy... - B.

I drive alone, home from work
And I always think of her Late at night I call her But I never say a word And I can see her squeeze the phone between her chin and shoulder And I can almost smell her breath faint with a sweet scent of decay She serves him mashed potatoes And she serves him peppered steak, with corn Pulls her dress up over her head Lets it fall to the floor And does she ever whisper in his ear all her favorite fruit And all the most exotic places they are cultivated And I'd like to take her there, rather than this train And if I weren't a civil servant, I'd have a place in the colonies We'd play croquet behind white-washed walls and drink our tea at four Within intervention's distance of the embassy The midday air grows thicker with the heat And drifts towards the line of trees When negroes blink their eyes, they sink into siesta And we are rotting like a fruit underneath a rusting roof We dream our dreams and sing our songs of the fecundity Of life and love Of life and love Of life and love |

We`ve laid the cables and the wires
We`ve split the wood and stoked the fires We`ve lit our town so there is no Place for crime to hide Our little church is painted white And in the safety of the night We all go quiet as a mouse For the word is out God is in the house God is in the house God is in the house No cause for worry now God is in the house Moral sneaks in the White House Computer geeks in the school house Drug freaks in the crack house We don`t have that stuff here We have a tiny little Force But we need them of course For the kittens in the trees And at night we are on our knees As quiet as a mouse For God is in the house God is in the house God is in the house And no one`s left in doubt God is in the house Homos roaming the streets in packs Queer bashers with tyre-jacks Lesbian counter-attacks That stuff is for the big cities Our town is very pretty We have a pretty little square We have a woman for a mayor Our policy is firm but fair Now that God is in the house God is in the house God is in the house Any day now He`ll come out God is in the house Well-meaning little therapists Goose-stepping twelve-stepping Tetotalitarianists The tipsy, the reeling and the drop down pissed We got no time for that stuff here Zero crime and no fear We`ve bred all our kittens white So you can see them in the night And at night we`re on our knees As quiet as a mouse Since the word got out From the North down to the South For no-one`s left in doubt There`s no fear about If we all hold hands and very quietly shout Hallelujah God is in the house God is in the house Oh I wish He would come out God is in the house god is in the house - nick cave and the bad seeds | |

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
with yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there she would merengue and do the cha-cha and while she tried to be a star Tony always tended bar across the crowded floor, they worked from 8 til 4 they were young and they had each other who could ask for more? CHORUS: At the copa (CO!) Copacabana (Copacabana) the hottest spot north of Havana (here) at the copa (CO!) Copacabana music and passion were always the fashion At the copa.... they fell in love His name was Rico he wore a diamond he was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancing there and when she finished,he called her over but Rico went a bit to far Tony sailed across the bar and then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two there was blood and a single gun shot but just who shot who? REPEAT CHORUS At the copa... she lost her love Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl, but that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a show now it's a disco, but not for Lola, still in the dress she used to wear, faded feathers in her hair she sits there so refined,and drinks herself half-blind she lost her youth and she lost her Tony now she's lost her mind REPEAT CHORUS At the copa... don't fall in love don't fall in love  | |

Ya know, I've tried really hard to like Nick Cave. An ex-girlfriend adored him and several friends of mine are quite high on the guy. But, try as I might, I just find him pretentious.  And I'm jealous that he banged PJ Harvey.  That said, I quite like this lyric:
People just ain't no good I think that's well understood You can see it everywhere you look People just ain't no good We were married under cherry trees Under blossom we made our vows All the blossoms come sailing down Through the streets and through the playgrounds The sun would stream on the sheets Awoken by the morning bird We'd buy the sunday newspapers And never read a single word People they ain't no good People they ain't no good People they ain't no good Seasons came, seasons went The winter stripped the blossoms bare A different tree now lines the streets Shaking it's fists in the air The winter slammed us like a fist The windows rattling in the gales To which she drew the curtains Made out of her wedding veils People they ain't no good People they ain't no good People they ain't no good at all To our love send a dozen white lillies To our love send a coffin of wood To our love let all the pink-eyed pigeons coo That people they just ain't no good To our love send back all the letters To our love a valentine of blood To our love let all the jilted lovers cry That people they just ain't no good It ain't that in their hearts they're bad They can comfort you, some even try They nurse you when you're ill of health They bury you when you go and die It ain't that in their hearts they're bad They'd stick by you if they could But that's just bullshit People just ain't no good |

thinking back, to when she was so pretty
not long ago, she turned the heads of many it's over now, still there's no forgiving lives on the streets, abused by those you send me it was just a drug, i said it was just a drug don't you trust me? by crazyhorse | |

Thank you for forgiving
Hurtful things I've done as a child Adolescent or woman Thank you for embracing a flaxen-haired baby Although I'm aware you had doubts I guess anybody'd have had doubts Please be at peace father I'm at peace with you Bitterness isn't worth cling to After all the anguish we've all been through Thank you for the mountains The lake of the clouds I'm picturing you and me there right now As the crystal cascades showered down Strange to feel that proud, strong man Grip tightly to my hand Hard to see the life inside Wane as the days went by Trying to preserve each word He murmured in my ear Watch part of my life disappear Father, thanks for reaching out and lovingly Saying that you've always been proud of me I needed to feel that so desperately You're always alive inside of me Now you're shining like A sunflower up in the sky Way up high |

Stevie Wonder - 'Big Brother'
Your name is big brother You say that you're watching me on the tele, Seeing me go nowhere, Your name is big brother, You say that you're tired of me protesting, Children dying everyday, My name is nobody But I can't wait to see your face inside my door Your name is big brother You say that you got me all in your notebook, Writing it down everyday, Your name is I'll see ya, I'll change if you vote me in as the pres, The President of your soul I live in the ghetto, You just come to visit me 'round election time I live in the ghetto, Someday I will move on my feet to the other side, My name is secluded, we live in a house the size of a matchbox, Roaches live with us wall to wall, You've killed all our leaders, I don't even have to do nothin' to you You'll cause your own country to fall | |
