i have been around the world
looking for that woman / girl

reggie (qualmsley), Sunday, 4 June 2017 00:05 (nine years ago)

it's kinda funny how bad these read. rock couplets r the ultimate 'guess you had to be there'

flopson, Sunday, 4 June 2017 00:07 (nine years ago)

i probably didn't even say that right
and i really don't give a damn

reggie (qualmsley), Sunday, 4 June 2017 00:14 (nine years ago)

but if you study the logistics and heuristics of the mystics you will find that their minds rarely move in a line
so it's much more realistic to abandon such ballistics and resign to be trapped on a leaf in the vine

reggie (qualmsley), Sunday, 4 June 2017 00:20 (nine years ago)

mother, i've tried, please believe me: i'm doing the best that i can
i'm ashamed of the things i've been put through; i'm ashamed of the person i am

reggie (qualmsley), Sunday, 4 June 2017 00:39 (nine years ago)

ain't no particular sign i'm more compatible with
i just want your extra time and your X X X kiss

The milk truck eased into my space
Somebody screamed somewhere

cwkiii, Sunday, 4 June 2017 01:42 (nine years ago)

With these vulgar factions of the treble clef
I wish you luck with a capital F

Widows face the future
Factories face the poor

I feel like love is in the kitchen with a culinary eye
Think he's making something special and I'm smart enough to try

I've been high and I've been low
And I don't know where to go

I was walking around the flower show like a leper coming down with some kind of nervous hysteria
When I saw you standing there, green eyes, black hairu p against the pink and purple wisteria

to pimp a barfly (Eazy), Sunday, 4 June 2017 05:30 (nine years ago)

I'll make it sweet but short
When I pull out your life support

flappy bird, Sunday, 4 June 2017 05:46 (nine years ago)

She hit town a rose in bloom
Smell the sweet, sweet perfume
The color faded and the petals died
Down in the city no one cried
And in the streets the garbage lies
Protected by a million flies
With roaches so big they got bones
They moved in and made themselves at home
I say nice boys, don't play rock 'n' roll
Nice boys, don't play rock 'n' roll
I'm not a nice boy!

I knew we'd never write
Somehow that seemed alright

Suddenly a half-sucky summer song came over the spider ride speaker system
It sounded like the best thing I ever heard, I just wanted to sit down and listen

Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack
I went out for a ride and I never went back

If you feel alive in a darkened room
Do you know the name of your solitude

Charles "Butt" Stanton (Neanderthal), Sunday, 4 June 2017 13:46 (nine years ago)

Dance with the dead in my dreams
Listen to their hollow screams

Charles "Butt" Stanton (Neanderthal), Sunday, 4 June 2017 13:47 (nine years ago)

I got something to say
I killed a baby today

These lonely brothers on the radio
If that's a DJ I'm the pilgrim Mona Lisa

nicky lo-fi, Sunday, 4 June 2017 14:13 (nine years ago)

Your dying for the hope is gone
From here we go nowhere again

I'm trapped in my face and I'm changing too much
I can't climb out the way I fell in

she's got her toe in the cornhole
bleeding out in a snow cone

We move like a parallelogram.

a miracle might point the way to solutions we're after
and avert our chronic impending disaster

Footsteps running 'cross the silver sand
Steps going down into tattoo land."

Now all the politicians, they just flap their mouths
They say we'll build a wall to keep them out

Amateur seasalt gatherers colonized
They're good enough for Conrad Hilton,
Not good enough for my eyes
I trust you will tell me
If I am making a fool of myself
Man is breedin' forever, because of the weather
They come out and blister the sea, oh yeah

Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 5 June 2017 00:38 (nine years ago)

We fell in love by the soda machine

Caroline, Caroline, see she's the reason for the word "bitch"
I hope she's speeding on the way to the club trying to hurry up to get to some baller or singer or somebody like that and try to put on her makeup in the mirror and crash, crash, craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaash into a ditch

Then you were a lime, now our love is sour

You, and your masculine you
Forever benched, sitting by the dirty window

And the dream I had was true
