igotworms Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Sorry about the length...but I had some time to kill, and I can't get enough of this kind of stuff. Cheers. "If God controls the land and disease, keeps a watchful eye on me, If he's really so _bloody mighty, my problem is I can't see, well who would wanna be? Who would wanna be such a control freak?" "Bukowski" by Modest Mouse "Now that we've hammered the last spike and we've punched the railroad through, thought there'd be more to say thought there'd be more to do. I love your paintings-don't take your colors away. I've grown more fearful of them every day. Swimming up their dark rivers to discover your source, a source of strange and unrequited remorse. And I found the end of the world, of course, but it's not the end of the world, of course. It's just a Vancouver divorce. It's just a Vancouver divorce." "Vancouver Divorce" by Gordon Downie "I had this dream where I relished the fray and the screaming filled my head all day. It was as though I'd been spit here, settled in, into the pocket of a lighthouse on some rocky socket, off the coast of France, dear. One afternoon, four thousand men died in the water here and five hundred more were thrashing madly, as parasites might in your blood. Now I was in a lifeboat designed for ten and ten only, anything that systematic would get you hated. It's not a deal nor a test nor a love of something fated. The selection was quick, the crew picked and those left in the water got kicked off our pantleg and we headed for home. Then the dream ends when the phone rings, you doing alright he said it's out there most days and nights, but only a fool would complain. Anyway Susan, if you like, our conversation is as faint as a sound in my memory, as those fingernails scratching on my hull.

Head Snake Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 This song reminded me of my college gf. Now, I can apply it to bgs. Don't Run Wild as written and recorded by The Del Fuegos >From the album: Boston Mass. If you have never heard this song, you won't understand how good this really is even though it is incredibly simplistic. However, I am very dissapointed that OLGA has no other Del Fuego's posts, so I am fixing that. The trick to getting main riff of this song is playing an F# barre chord and alternating playing the low E string open and in the 2nd positon. Quite simple actually!! Chords: Verse: F# B F# E F# B F# G# B Pre chorus: B F# B F# B F# B C# Chorus: B C# B C# F# C# Verse: Oh baby whats goin' on you don't laugh on the phone like you used to Have I been gone too long Where's the love that I've gotten used to Pre chorus: All the good times we had seems my dream might take awhile so baby don't you run don't run wild Verse: Trees fly by in a far away car Wonderin' when I'll see you again The TV's on the sound is turned down All the letters that I tried to send Pre chorus: All the good times we had seems my dream might take awhile so baby don't you run don't run wild Chorus: Don't run wild, Don't run wild, Don't run wild, Don't leave me child Solo (over verse chords): -2-2-2-2-|-22-00 | etc.. -- -2-2-2-2-|-22-00 |- ---------|-------|- ---------|-------|- ---------|-------|- ---------|-------|- End with a nifty Low E string pick slide!!! Chorus: Don't run wild, Don't run wild, Don't run wild, Don't leave me child Repeat Repeat etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girlfrombar Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 "Little Baby Nothing" No one likes looking at you Your lack of ego offends male mentality They need your innocence To steal vacant love and to destroy Your beauty and virginity used like toys My mind is dead, everybody love's me Wants a slice of me Hopelessly passive and compatible Need to belong, oh the roads are scarey So hold me in your arms I wanna be your only possession Used, used, used by men Used, used, used by men All they leave behind is money Paper made out of broken twisted trees Your pretty face offends Because it's something real that I can't touch Eyes, skin, bone, contour, language as a flower No god reached me, faded films and loving books Black and white TV All the world does not exist for me And if I'm starving, you can feed me lollipops Your diet will crush me My life just an old man's memory Little baby nothing Loveless slavery, lips kissing empty Dress your life in loathing Breaking your mind with Barbie Doll futility Little baby nothing Sexually free, made-up to breakup Assassinated beauty Moths broken up, quenched at last The vermin allowed a thought to pass them by You are pure, you are snow We are the useless sluts that they mould Rock 'n' roll is our epiphany Culture, alienation, boredom and despair You are pure, you are snow We are the useless sluts that they mould Rock 'n' roll is our epiphany Culture, alienation, boredom and despair*** --Manic Street Preachers.

britmaveric Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Look at the stars, Look how they shine for you, And everything you do, Yeah, they were all yellow. I came along, I wrote a song for you, And all the things you do, And it was called "Yellow." So then I took my turn, Oh what a thing to have done, And it was all "Yellow." Your skin Oh yeah, your skin and bones, Turn into something beautiful, You know, you know I love you so, You know I love you so. I swam across, I jumped across for you, Oh what a thing to do. 'cause you were all "Yellow," I drew a line, I drew a line for you, Oh what a thing to do, And it was all "Yellow." Your skin, Oh yeah your skin and bones, Turn into something beautiful, And you know for you, I'd bleed myself dry for you, I'd bleed myself dry. It's true, look how they shine for you, Look how they shine for you, Look how they shine for, Look how they shine for you, Look how they shine for you, Look how they shine. Look at the stars, Look how they shine for you, And all the things that you do. -Cold Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me that song and a few beers and I am anyones..... Very nice indeed. *Mental Note: Get some Victoria Bitter, some Hunter's and Collector's tunes and head for the nearest Sheila. Let's change this post in the direction of best lines or verse...opposed to the whole song. I posted a whole song as well. But, I think those one or two liners stand out the best. i.e. "We kiss on the mouth but still cough down our sleeves" "I've changed my mind so much I cant even trust it My mind changed me so much I cant even trust myself."

Head Snake Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 I know I shouldn't be posting about them. I don't want this thread locked. I just couldn't resist. hehe 4-11. How tall are the Bee Gees? A. I was surprised to discover how hard it's been to get an answer to this one! Even the "official" reports have changed over the years, and differ substantially from guesses hazarded by fans who have met them and posed for photos with them. I was hopeful that the Official Bee Gees Web Experience would settle the matter once and for all, but now I see that they use the very same estimates that I've always been using. Good heavens, doesn't SOMEBODY have a tape measure over there? Anyway, fans estimates have been as follows: Barry: between 5' 10" and 6' 1" Robin: between 5' 8" and 5' 11" Maurice: between 5' 6" and 5' 9" Further, it is interesting to note that the Official Bee Gees Web Experience lists Andy as having been between 5' 7" and 5' 9" in height.
