Great lyrics of our time

Gayle

You don't wanna be friends
Ur just horny
And ****ed up at 2 am
In the morning
Say you've changed and you mean it
Say everything's different but I think I'd rather sleep in
You don't wanna be friends
Ur just horny
 
Okay, well, I just woke up
And you already don't care
That I tried my best to hold you
Through the headset that you wear
And as tight as I might hold it
Over where the signal's good
There's no way to save your evening now
Through the little phone that could

Black Country, New Road - Bread Song
 
Also this from Josie Proto, for current, and not so current, times.

I left my hair in the taxi 'cause the driver was a creep
Chattin' on my dead phone just so he can see
I was careful to show my face on the CCTV
Told a joke to the bouncer so that he'd remember me leave

So I guess that's where we are
Isn't it amazing what I'm contemplating to get home?
You okay with where we are?
'Cause I see nothing changin', it's beyond frustratin'
I just wanna walk home
I just wanna walk home, home, home

I've got my keys in my knuckles, my headphones in my bag
Jeans again 'cause if something happened, it'd be 'cause I'm a slag
And I don't keep a list of my sexual history
But if something were to happen, it would be because of me

So I guess that's where we are
Isn't it amazing what I'm contemplating to get home?
You okay with where we are?
'Cause I see nothing changin', it's beyond frustratin'
I just wanna walk home
I just wanna walk home, home, home

Talk to you mum, it's not like this thing is new
They used to keep it quiet
Told there was nothing they could do
Well I'm not gonna have the same conversation with my daughter

So I guess that's where we are
Isn't it amazing what I'm contemplating to get home?
You okay with where we are?
'Cause I see nothing changin', it's beyond frustratin'
So I guess that's where we are
Isn't it amazing what I'm contemplating to get home?
You okay with where we are?
'Cause I see nothing changin', it's beyond frustratin'
I just wanna walk home
I just wanna walk home, home, home
I just wanna walk home
 
Well I think it's fine building jumbo planes etc

Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass and your lorry loads pumping petrol gas etc

Well you've cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air but will you keep on building higher 'til there's no more room up there? etc.

But tell me where do the children play?

Cat Stevens.

Edit.

Easy song and chords for guitar beginners and you don't have to be a great vocalist to do the lyrics justice.

As if you didn't know how it feels to lose
As if you didn't know how it feels to lose at dice with fate

At least have some dignity

As if it wasn't a lifetime spent on connecting the dots
There was no pattern
As if the irony was more than a defense mechanism
And we could actually laugh for a change
As if steel hooks in our backs were more than a nuisance
And we could actually feel something

Self crucified – missed the right tree
Tore the wrong eye out
The hissing of hellfire
Self crucified – missed the right tree
For this I have gained a victory
I burn as I ought to

As if everything was to be made right one day
Dreams don't come true for people like us
As if the gods were bored with peace in our hearts
And their fingers are itchy
As if we never broke people out of sheer boredom
And slept calmly among the wastes

And then we see bright and clear

As if we would be someone else
While mindlessly wandering through the mountains
As if we would be someone better
Expelling purgatory in Latin alphabet

Self crucified – missed the right tree
Tore the wrong eye out
The hissing of hellfire
Self crucified – missed the right tree
For this I have gained a victory
I burn as I ought to

As if all this was something more
Than another footnote on a postcard from nowhere
Another chapter in the handbook for exercises in futility
 
The most devastating song I ever heard. "Elephant" by Jason Isbell


She said, "Andy, you're better than your past"
Winked at me and drained her glass
Crosslegged on the barstool, like nobody sits anymore
She said, "Andy, you're taking me home"
But I knew she planned to sleep alone
I'd carry her to bed and sweep up the hair from the floor

If I had ****ed her before she got sick
I'd never hear the end of it
She don't have the spirit for that now
We just drink our drinks and laugh out loud
Bitch about the weekend crowd
And try to ignore the elephant somehow
Somehow

She said, "Andy, you crack me up"
Seagrams in a coffee cup
Sharecropper eyes and her hair almost all gone
When she was drunk she made cancer jokes
Made up her own doctor's notes
Surrounded by her family, I saw that she was dying alone
I'd sing her classic country songs
And she'd get high and sing along
She don't have a voice to sing with now
We burn these joints in effigy
Cry about what we used to be
Try to ignore the elephant somehow
Somehow

I've buried her a thousand times
Giving up my place in line
But I don't give a damn about that now
There's one thing that's real clear to me:
No one dies with dignity
We just try to ignore the elephant somehow
We just try to ignore the elephant somehow
We just try to ignore the elephant somehow
Somehow
Somehow

 
There's something warm, there's something nice,

I can't stand to see you when you're cold, nor can I stand being out of you life.

Erm so many....

We're fools to make war, on our brothers in arms.

It's a big enough umbrella but it's always me that ends up getting wet.

Love is not a victory march, it's a cold and broken hallelujah.

Then came the call to Ireland as it had come before. Another bloody chapter in an endless civil war.

If you don't think well get far, sorry kids we've sold the car. You've got t ten days no time to grouse you see we've gone and sold the house
