Favorite Lyrical Bits And Pieces
So it goes |
| 1 |  | Elvis Costello
My Aim Is True
Carving "V" for "vandal" on the guilty boy's head/
When he's had enough of that, maybe you'll take him to bed/
To teach him he's alive before he wishes he was dead |
| 2 |  | Game Theory
Lolita Nation
Lord knows that I'm not exactly the boy of my own dreams/
And if I were a girl with dreams I'd have dreams as big as you |
| 3 |  | Manic Street Preachers
Everything Must Go
The elephant is so ugly/
He sleeps his head machetes his bed/
Kevin Carter, Kaffir lover forever |
| 4 |  | American Music Club
California
If I have to be this lonely/
I may as well be alone |
| 5 |  | Elliott Smith
XO
I'll tell you why I/
Don't wanna know where you are/
I gotta joke I've been dying to tell you/
Silent kid is looking/
Down the barrel/
To make the noise that I kept so quiet/
Kept it from you, Pitseleh |
| 6 |  | The Replacements
Let It Be
Yeah, I know I look like hell/
I smoke and I drink and I'm feeling swell |
| 7 |  | Big Star
#1 Record
Won't you tell your dad, get off my back/
Tell him what we said 'bout 'Paint It Black' |
| 8 |  | Jawbreaker
24 Hour Revenge Therapy
You're not punk and I'm telling everyone/
Save your breath, I never was one/
You don't know what I'm all about/
Like killing cops and reading Kerouac |
| 9 |  | Uncle Tupelo
No Depression
We've all had our ups and downs/
It's been mostly down around here |
| 10 |  | The Jam
Sound Affects
I saw the lights and the pretty girls/
And I thought to myself what a pretty world/
But there's something else here that puts me off/
And I'm so scared dear, my love comes in frozen packs/
Bought in a supermarket |
| 11 |  | The Clash
London Calling
The judge said five to ten but I say double that again/
I'm not working for the clampdown |
| 12 |  | The Beatles
Magical Mystery Tour
And the banker never wears a mac/
In the pouring rain, very strange |
| 13 |  | Elliott Smith
Elliott Smith
Everything is exactly right/
When I walk around here drunk every night |
| 14 |  | The Smashing Pumpkins
Siamese Dream
Life's a bummer/
When you're a hummer/
Life's a drag |
| 15 |  | Manic Street Preachers
The Holy Bible
When I was young P.C. meant Police Constable/
Nowadays I can't seem to tell the difference |
| 16 |  | American Music Club
Mercury
And with a wave of his jewel-encrusted hand/
Across the glittering Las Vegas scene he said/
"You gotta learn how to disappear/
In the silk and amphetamine" |
