I don't remember posting it twice...

Joy division. Have the best lyrics ever period. 24 hours is the great song ever.
Fugazi close second. Any lyric by Ian is mind blowing.
Shellac third infact any steve albini lyrics big black or rapeman.
The skeptics lyrics blow my head off.
snapper. ADM oh oh oh oh.
*cough* nirvana *cough* in utero has some amazing lyrics when he is not being self obsessed *cough* Dont tell petra jane i said that.

Because all of the above are so good it is impossible to write anything to compare and you just feel stupid.

What, may i ask, is so bad about the Smashing Pumpkins? Apart from Billy Corgan's self infatuated bloated ego?

"Don't tell lies to people with knives,
Don't make fun of people with guns".

Thank you Chris Mathews.

Refused - Coup D'Etat
Staying up all night planning the downfall of your corrupted system. What plot will I figure out and what thoughts will I pen down? I will have my coup d'etat. I will start a riot. I will hold your burning flag in my hand. Sitting up all night planning my revolution with a catchy phrase. A shitty band with an awesome plan. A punk crusade throughout the land. Sick of silence, of passive masses. Educate, resist and take control. To live a life in fear of changing is to not live at all. I will have my coup d'etat. I will start a riot. I will hold your burning flag in my hand. And I will watch your empire fall. I will not die for you. I will not kill for you. I will not fight for you. I will hold your burning flag in my hand as I watch your empire fall, cause I know it will. I will have my coup d'etat.

"Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
Well, I'm wasted and I can't find my way home"

Eric Clapton - Can't find my way home

This pretty much summed up my drug induced days...

chino's still mint at writing though... maybe theres a deeper meaning on the smoke stack one butr... brandon writes good songs too... 'incubus'...

Best NZ lyrics??????????????

"Sometimes I find it's easy to be myself, Sometimes I find, it's better to be somebody else." DMB

" So tired of dying, so sick of not trying, scared that we might fail, we'll acomplish nothing not even failure." REFUSED

"So many people but i know only a few, i may say i love this man and that man, but what keeps me from loving you, date of birth geography, colour of my skin idiology, you've got ten fingers two legs one nose like me just like me and it's as simple as that you'll see." LIVE

"Turns out not where but who that really matters." DMB

"If ignorance is bliss then wipe the smile from my face." RAGE

Also - The last line in brothers in arms is brilliant, so hard hitting and completley changes the sentiment in the song making it even more beautiful than first anticipated - "We're fool to make war on our brothers in arms."

I'm a huge lyrics man i love when someone conveys and ideal or emotion that i posses and can do it in an interesting way.

"why dont we all strap bombs to our chests, and ride our bikes to the next g7 picnic, it seems easier with every clocktick .... ..... ........ >> ....... yes i recognise the irony of biting the hand that feeds, but thats exactly why priviliged folk like me, should feel obliged to whine and kick and scream, until EVERYONE has everything they need" -propagandhi

"disclose the technology we always imagined, gift it away a real free trade economy, retreat our of space and your slave third world countries, dont take backhanders from powerful companies ........we can undo your work" -`orkid

"four thousand hungry children leave us per hour, while we spend billions on bombs creating deathshowers" -systemofadown.

i wish i could just like a simple love song sometimes...

"This is the most uncomfortable of all the situation's I've been in,
I've never been hit on before by a Girl who denies men for women.
But I know you'll fuck anything on two legs that is livin..."
