Meanwhile, the local maternity ward, nurse comes in with a great big sledgehammer
She kills all the little babies, destroys the monitoring system
Says she got some time to stick around
She calls the doctor, said look what I've done
She calls the doctor, said look what I've done
She calls the doctor, said look what I've done
Doctor comes in, pops a boner and jacks off in her cap
And then the motel manager comes by
And takes a little shit in his hand, and then he takes a little shit in his hand
And then he takes a little shit in his hand
And the he puts it on like lipstick, lipstick, he puts it on like lipstick, lipstick

Who 'dis? It's like someone's read Bataille. Good on them. I'll probably have already stated that I hate whoever wrote this song, which isn't really at odds with this thread.

I like David Tibet's lyrics, I think they're very often better on paper than sung.

I thought the last line of that song was going to be something about "the Aristocrats".

My favorite lyricists are: Ian Curtis, Lou Reed, Chan Marshall.

The Jesus Lizard, according to the interbox. Time for a re-appraisal of that band on my part, methinks.

Lyric-wise they were definitely ok but not the best ever.

the shit thing about reading lyrics is that you have to read the same thing being repeated over and over

Your first mistake was to think you could fuck with the ranch
Here I come, here I come, with my dick in my hand
Do you think you'd like to have a blockbuster up your ass
Do you think you'd like that, well do ya motherfucker
Do ya, motherfucker
Do ya
We'll smash your eggs and then your head and we'll nab your kids
Take 'em outback on the deck and barbeque their ribs
Throw their heads into your ivy, water them with piss
Do you think you'd like that, well do ya motherfucker
Do ya, motherfucker
Do ya
Your first mistake was to think you could fuck with the ranch
Here I come, here I come, with my dick in my hand
Do you think you'd like to have a blockbuster up your ass
Do you think you'd like that, well do ya motherfucker
Do ya, motherfucker
Do ya, motherfucker
Do ya, motherfucker
Do ya

You're so sweet
Your smile
Your pussy
And your bones
You're on fire
You move me
Like music
With your style

Let me think
(Let you think about what?)
About girls
(And what else?)
And money
And new clothes
(And what do I get?)
Thirty nights
(Uh huh..)
Of violence
(Yeah...)
And sugar
To love

Come here
Closer to the lung
Shove her over railing

Nick Drake has already been mentioned but i think this song has great lyrics.

Betty came by on her way
Said she had a word to say
About things today
And fallen leaves.

Said she hadnt heard the news
Hadnt had the time to choose
A way to lose
But she believes.

Going to see the river man
Going to tell him all I can
About the plan
For lilac time.

If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows
And all night shows
In summertime.

Betty said she prayed today
For the sky to blow away
Or maybe stay
She wasnt sure.

For when she thought of summer rain
Calling for her mind again
She lost the pain
And stayed for more.

Going to see the river man
Going to tell him all I can
About the ban
On feeling free.

If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows
I dont suppose
Its meant for me.

Oh, how they come and go
Oh, how they come and go

also as cliche as it is, I think Bob Dylan is the best lyricist of all time

bob dylan of course writes brilliant lyrics.

roger waters is another great lyricist.

thank you.

Such resentment over music in this place. What a pity.

I believe I'll put on some Jason Mraz when Wolf Eyes is done.

There's nothing toresent, man, it's just shit music for the weak-boned. Get over it.

Oh I was never under it.

Gosh, you really are witty, aren' you?

But never sarcastic.
