Greatist Sonic Youth lyric of all time??? - Page 2

the ikara cult · 02.21.2007, 10:13 PM

many lyrics stick in the mind but i think they work best in the context of the songs. I do think that Lee's lyrics are of general massive high quality, especially Karen Revisited

Magic Wheel Memory · 02.22.2007, 12:46 AM

Too many to name! Here are a few:

When seasons circle sideways out of turn, and words don't speak, just fall across the carpet...

Smoke and flames! Alright!

The guitar guy played real good feedback and super sounding riffs (sounds like an uncool kid desparately trying to be cool by describing a concert he went to).

Got to change my mind before it burns out.

Let nurse give you a shot. It's something to do.

Left out in the rain, out of town again. Left out in the rain, ocean bound I guess...

Shot in the heart, and you're to blame. You give love a bad name!

...for by the away, go out not today (?)
move back along and wait a long long time
nothing running free, you gotta time it all
run out the door come back when you score
new times will come and you will see a door
into the lion eye and now i'm gone
and it's out
and it's not what you thought it was about
but a life, that you know
will keep you bound in...

sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
sometimes you got still the blues for me
I could run away, a long time to stay
burn out your eyes, burn out surprise
look out today you know it's not the same
it's all the rage, it's every day
and it's out
and it's not what you thought it was about
but a life, that you know
will keep you round in love

I think Sonic Nurse contains their best lyrics, especially Unmade Bed:

LOOK WHO’S COME BACK HOME AGAIN
LOSER LOOKING FOR HIS LUCKY BREAK
THIS TIME HE SAYS HE JUST NEEDS A FRIEND
AIN’T ON THE RUN HE AIN’T ON THE TAKE

CAN YOU UNLOCK THE DOOR BABE
WILL YOU JUST UNDO THE CHAIN
WILL YOU TAKE YR TIME BEFORE YOU
MIX UP LOVE, HIS LOVE AND PAIN
LONELINESS LAYS DOWN HIS HEAD
WANTS TO GET YOU HIGH, BETTER TAKE IT NOW
A MAN LIKE THAT’S LIKE AN UNMADE BED
STAINED EYES SEARCHING FOR ANOTHER WAY OUT

DOES IT MATTER IF YOU EVEN WANT THIS
MAYBE YOU JUST DON’T CARE
ALL I KNOW IT TAKES JUST ONE KISS, BABE
FOR YOU - HE’S NEVER THERE
HEY I KNOW IT’S KINDA HARD
AND MAYBE THIS TIME IT WILL NEVER END
HIT AND RUN LOVER BACK IN YR HEART
ANSWERED PRAYERS YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE SENT

CUZ NOW THAT YR IN HIS ARMS BABE
YOU KNOW YR JUST IN HIS WAY
SUCKERED BY HIS FATAL CHARM, OH GIRL
IT’S TIME WE GETAWAY

I'm waiting for JennTheBenn to criticize MarleyPumpkin's choice of 'small flowers crack concrete'. For me, my favorite is:

ticket to ride:

Thurston: "We really suck tonight ladies and gentlemen... in fact, we're gonna call this song "Bury Our Heads In The Sand"...and, uh...well no, this is actually called 'Dickweed Part 2'."
Lee: "Part 8!" Thurston: "Oh yeah, this song's called 'Dickweed Part 8'" [pause] Okay maybe I'll sing a solo song for you....WELL I GOT A TICKET TO RI-HI-I-I-DE... yeh, come on lets do it!" etc... basically thurston butchering Ticket To Ride while Steve and Kim jam (Thurston instructs Steve to "Play those funky drums").

my mother always told me, "if you can't say
a nice thing, don't say anything."

she also told me once not to write any shit
poetry.

Daddylikes · 02.22.2007, 01:50 PM

"You're it. No you're it. No no YOU'RE IT. Miss me. Don't Dismiss me. Spirit Desire We will (not) fall(ow)."

Hands down. Best opening invocation ever. I always change the lyrics around in my head (but still sing the correct ones out loud

LittlePuppetBoy · 02.22.2007, 01:58 PM

I can't get laid cause everybody's dead.

deflinus · 02.22.2007, 02:48 PM

Never gave a damn about the meter man, though I was the man who had to read the meters, man.

jon boy · 02.22.2007, 02:53 PM

i love the shizophrenia lyrics especially: her brother says she just a bitch, with a golden chain.

fugazifan · 02.22.2007, 03:09 PM

my favorite lyrics, almost ever, even though they are supposodly meaningless are

hes running on a tuff gnarl in his head
hes got a fatal erection home in bed
hes really smart and hes really fast
hes got a hard tit killer fuck in his past...................
........................

jon boy · 02.22.2007, 03:12 PM
