Murder by Death – Shiola Lyrics 19 years ago

Placebo – Without You I'm Nothing Lyrics 19 years ago
the version with bowie is the best thing placebo has ever done.

Mindless Self Indulgence – Shut Me Up Lyrics 19 years ago
the video was in fact directed by jhonen vasquez. just fyi.

judging by their username, "johnny c" should have known, but apparently didn't?

Andrew W.K. – Ready to Die Lyrics 19 years ago

what the fuck is a bus mall?

The Decemberists – From My Own True Love (Lost at Sea) Lyrics 20 years ago
this is so sad, because i'm sure things like this would happen all the time. this whole song is very plausible.

submissions
The Decemberists – Eli, the Barrow Boy Lyrics 20 years ago
the thing i really love about this song is that the music, and the lyrics, and the theme of lost love and death and (in my opinion) suicide, are all very common in traditional gothic ballads. which is what this song is. it sounds like it's just a cover of some song that was sung hundreds of years ago.

The Cramps – Eyeball In My Martini Lyrics 20 years ago
This song honest to god completes my existance.
Interesting side note: I also see eyeballs in my lover's pantihose.

The Dresden Dolls – Sing Lyrics 20 years ago
This song is absolutely abysmal and wholly fails to follow in the vein of the Dresden Dolls. In fact, it reads like a half-hearted guidance councilor poster.
Fun stuff!

submissions
Evanescence – My Immortal Lyrics 20 years ago
i completely agree with BitterHandsResign. this song helped me through a difficult time in my own life, when i was struggling with my own weight problem. amy lee obviously understands how difficult it is, and i really respect her for writing a song about it.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – O'Malley's Bar Lyrics 20 years ago
i can see this being spoken by the man while on trial, and the jury just being like, "what a crazy motherfucker."




"And with an ashtray as big as a fucking really big brick I split his head in half."

this line makes me laugh so much.

submissions
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – Tupelo Lyrics 20 years ago
obviously about the end of the world, similar to jhonny cash's "when the man comes around," only more creepy.

submissions
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – The Mercy Seat Lyrics 20 years ago
i actually always thought that the "but i'm afraid i told a lie" meant that he actally was afraid to die, since that line replaced "but i'm not afraid to die" in the final chorus.



regardless, johnny cashe's version of this is so ridiculously amazing, my mind boggles.

submissions
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – The Carny Lyrics 20 years ago
i don't know what happened or where the carny went, but this song scares the shit out of me.

submissions
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – Song of Joy Lyrics 20 years ago
i know that the narrator is the killer, but the other day a question was brought up that i'd never thought about:

was his insanity the cause of joy's depression, or was her depression the cause of his insanity? if the latter...what was wrong with her? and even with the children?

submissions
Theatre of Tragedy – A Distance There Is Lyrics 20 years ago
THIS BAND IS SO BAD, SO WHY IS THIS SONG SO GOOD?



but archaic language is so unnecessary and stupid.

Fall Out Boy – Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Division cover) Lyrics 20 years ago

Brand New – Nobody Moves Lyrics 20 years ago
i hear "please cut me out, cut me out, [ ???] the lover you wanted when you were young and asleep"? i don't know, i've been trying to figure this out for a while.

Taking Back Sunday – Just Like Heaven (The Cure cover) Lyrics 20 years ago
i don't even like the cure and this cover makes me cry for robert smith.

Fall Out Boy – Dance, Dance Lyrics 20 years ago
i think this song is a half-hearted eulogy to mr. miyagi, written the day after his tragic demise.
