americanohno 10.09.12	check out Townes Van Zandt he writes real amazing lyrics. An example from "Dollar Bill Blues" "Mother was a golden girl slit her throat just to get her pearls cast myself into a whirl before a bunch of swine" Another example from "Our Mother the Mountain" "So I reach for her hand and her eyes turns to poison And her hair turns to splinters, And her flesh turns to brine She leaps cross the room, she stands in the window And screams that my first-born Will surely be blind" And I'll also recommend Chris Knight, he can really tell a story. An example from "Down the River" "down below the trestle where the water runs slow i chained him to an anvil and then i let him go and five years later i ain't told a soul"

wabbit 10.20.12	LOL I'm a mountain that has been moved I'm a river that is all dried up I'm an ocean nothing floats on I'm a sky that nothing wants to fly in I'm a sun that doesn't burn hot I'm a moon that never shows its face I'm a mouth that doesn't smile I'm a word that no one ever wants to say I'm a mountain that has been moved I'm a fugitive that has no legs to run I'm a preacher with no pulpit Spewing a sermon that goes on and on... Well if we take all these things and we bury them fast And we'll pray that they turn to seeds, to roots and then grass It'd be all right, it's all right, it'd be easier that way Or if the sky opened up and started pouring rain Like you knew he was trying to start things over again It'd be all right, it's all right, it'd be easier that way Well if we take all these things and we bury them fast And we'll pray that they turn to seeds, to roots and then grass It'd be all right, it's all right, it'd be easier that way Or if the sky opened up and started pouring rain Like you knew he was trying to start things over again It'd be all right, it's all right, it'd be easier that way (You've done enough to be saved But you're gonna miss out Now you don't know your rights from your wrongs It's the greatest of love Now don't say you'll be there and then leave Or don't mention all the hurt that you've seen Or don't say he's in love It's the greatest of love) The lyrics on Daisy (not just the song, but especially the song) are so fucking awful that I genuinely believe that it's a joke. Also Tom Waits is the best objectively.
ThunderNeutral21 10.20.12	yeah i find it funny that the deja entendu and especially devil and god lyrics are really well written for teenage emo, yet the lyrics on daisy are fucking terribad
wabbit 10.20.12	I like deja and YFW's lyrics (in a teenage emo way) but devil and god is a little too self absorbed (it has good "lines" but the lyrics as a whole are bad)
WeepingBanana 10.20.12	John Darnielle is the best without question
