Syd Barrett writes the most interesting lyrics in my opinion

So equally over a valley, a hill
wood on quarry stood, each of us crying
a velvet curtain of gray
mark the blanket where the sparrows play
and the trees by the waving corn stranded
my legs move the last empty inches to you
the softness, the warmth from the weather in suspense
mote to a grog - the star a white chalk
minds shot together, our minds shot together...

patti smith's lyrics are awesome lyrics too!

I feel like that every other day, but you can't deny the fact that he "defined" a hell of a lot of people. He's a bit too old for me to completely get, but he definitely has something that could be considered genuine talent.

I don't think Sonic Youth is great with lyrics, but they have some brilliant spots.

She said Jesus had a twin who knew nothing about sin
She was laughing like crazy at the trouble I'm in
Her light eyes were dancing; she is insane
Her brother says she's just a bitch with a golden chain
---
I got a catholic block
Inside my head
I let it play around
Iron to gold
---
Now he's kicked in the gut, they fucked him up, just enough
They got me down on my knees, I kiss his ring, God is love
---
I see you shaking in the light, reading the headline news
The others they're not quite so bright, you want them to choose you
I could almost see your face tonight, singing simple rhythm'n'blues
You'll always be a star

This is a pretty pointless thing for me to pursue at this point, I'm not going to convince anyone on this matter. Nevertheless... Dylan is the most popular of a very particular form of 'American folk'. Folk is a highly politicised genre, and in popularising it Dylan robbed all the particulars of political lyrics and replaced them with vague non-sequiturs. As I say, there's not much point me mentioning this, and it's ultimately my opinion rather than fact, but I do feel that it's quite a stretch to suggest Dylan did anything original.

i haven't posted in here because 99.99% of lyrics suck.

You ought to read 'How Bluegrass Music Destroyed My Life' and you'll understand even more why I can't stand Dylan's lyrics and probably why you can't too.

Who by? I'm not particularly inclined to find out more about why I hate something that isn't an issue 99% of my daily life, but I'm going through a heavy bluegrass phase at the moment.

Edit: oh, the Fahey book. I'm gonna be all over that like AIDS on antibodies.

david berman from the silver jews and david bazan of pedro the lion.

Haha Bazan. Great lyricist, but it's a pity his voice is like a ceiling fan.

By the way
that was probably the best first post ever...

sometimes it's not bad. i kind of like that schlubby 30-something guy singing voice he has going on.

but i'm odd.

i wish my first post here was like that guy's.

hutch harris from the thermals writes some neat lyrics. their last album was a concept about escaping from a christian fascist society, but it's a huge power pop rock album.

I think I actually used to like Bazan's voice, but I can't stand it anymore. They played something by Pedro on the PA in between sets at a show last night, and I'd never heard the song but I recognized it instantly. I think I cringed before it even registered.

That said, he does write incredible lyrics. I read somewhere that his wife had some serious problems with a couple of his songs (Rapture was one of them that I can remember). That's honest writing.

oh, rapture is hard to listen to for me. david is someone i look up to as a writer because i'm never entirely honest- how i write and talk used to be super similar, but just personal events that have been going on are starting to keep it from flowing. i'd love to just pen stuff like that.

Gibby Haynes' lyrics from the Butthole Surfers' peak period can't be beat, in me humble opinion.

Hiya, schizogirl, how goes it with you?

i smoke elvis's toenails when i wanna get high

I'm not a big lyrics person but:

sun city girls
jandek
captain beefheart
gastr del sol
old pavement
the fall
jesus lizard
and stereolab


Have some good lines.

Since I love Fahey more than anybody to have ever existed ever, I should have read this by now but it's really expensive, even used :/

i didn't even think about gibby! good call.

i'm well. waiting for everyone to go to bed so i can leave again. how are you, dear?
