Nathan Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 That part with "knockin' at the door" could use some cowbell. I need to hear it, baby! I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you're a huge fan of the Saturday Night Live episode involving Blue Oyster Cult, "Don't Fear the Reaper," and Will Ferrell. (I wish I could find a full fucking clip of it but all the damn YouTube videos are either just audio, sped-up, or lame remixes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmie ray Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I stopped watching SNL in 1986, so I'm not really following you? Don't sweat the U-tube thing, this computer is not set up for it to play. You don't believe that I play a washtub bass with a cowbell and scratchboard on it? It's got a picture of Bo Diddley on the tub part, and my wife hates every second of it. Someday I'll post the U-tube video here, just give me a few decades to catch up on all this technology... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evster2012 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 My Brother's Keeper If you won't share your brother's load And choose to walk a separate road Too beaten down to spare a smile Please remember all the while There are those who will carry you You don't believe it but it's true While you're sanctioning your space Let your brother run his race If you can't seem to find the time And feel your spirit's in decline And suffer fear inside your weak and restless heart Terrified to make a start Must it always bring you pain To let the caring without shame Make their world a better place Must you find that a disgrace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrum Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 'The Profiteers' Those dirty bastard oil baron's claim: IT'S ALL SUPPLY AND DEMAND!! And as they rake in record profits they say: Who really gives a damn?? The leftist politician's cry: HOW CAN YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELVES?? Your profits are absurd!! And 'condemn' the greedy CEO's With harsh lawyerspeak words. But the politician's are full of shit too As they rake in a profit or two With every gallon sold it's GOLD!! Without it what would they do??? What would they do? State tax on gas: 28.6 cents a gallon Federal tax: 18.4 cents a gallon State tax on diesel: 29.2 cents a gallon Federal tax: 24.4 cents a gallon Altogether the gov't. takes in about a dollar a gallon for doing absolutely nothing. Sounds just like the Mafia. (Lyrics by redrum) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evster2012 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Okay, a love song... My Love In the beginning there was love Looked in your eyes, thanked the Lord above Who'd ever thought it'd come to this Who'd think our love would go so thouroughly amiss I tried to give you all of my love You were the only one I was thinking of I know we made some bad mistakes Found out the hard way just what makes you run away My love I miss your ebony eyes Where are you now darlin, can you hear me cry My love come wipe away all my tears I'll miss loving you for the rest of my years Too many times you were afraid Life's little ups and downs made your feelings fade I tried to help you belive in yourself Now our precious love's a picture on my shelf My love I miss your ebony eyes Where are you now darlin, can you hear me cry My love come wipe away all my tears I'll miss loving you for the rest of my years And I know it's hard When you feel you couldn't take another day Sometimes it's hard When you feel your loving slowly slip away Still one night without your lovin's like a thousand long lonely days My love I miss your ebony eyes Where are you now darlin, can you hear me cry My love I know who's holding you now And after all this time I still want you somehow My love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bomber Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 This song is called "The River",the chorus is wordless,originally i only had the first and third verses and it was about my depression and third one was altered,it used to be about manic depression,but i changed some lyrics and added the second verse and now it's dedicated to the people of Zimbabwe,FUCK MUGABE!!! "The River Runs, Deep and silent, Like memories, Inside a dream, And all that is, And all that will be, Flows through The River, And returns to the sea I wait in my cell, Between heaven and hell, I screamed for peace, But i was silenced with a shell, The devil in disguise, Said that he was colourblind, But that was a cover, For the genocide In the end, Everything fades out, When everything's gone Except the will to be Will we live on our Knees, Or die on our feet, Doomed on election day, As The River washes over me."

sirchris Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 For Better Or Worse. A light was slowly gathering Just behind the curve It's purpose, to illuminate The sinners of this world Now wretched and of little use Just a sliver still remains The beacon is extinguished And the sinners go untamed So weak and feeble, a withered beam For better or worse child... ...A light A shot was fired into flesh To tranquilize the youth Seduction of the gulible Is easier than truth Lies are used as currency Traded by the few Selling on their excrement To radicals like you So young and useless, a palsied fool For better or worse child... ...A shot. Now a change is somersaulting In upon the wind Coating everybody and Everything Wrought iron and heavy chains Swing in the archways above Your mother decries the senseless death And preaches senseless love. So cold and noxious, a vicous sway. For better or worse child... ...A change (Wright/Carnation) All lyrics are copywrited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 I must admit... a very small part of me hesitates in showing these lyrics. That said, that part of me is so small to be almost inconsequential. However, to appease it, I will start with a very brief history of how this came about. About 4 weeks ago, I was goofing around on my guitar and starting soloing a slow 12-bar in Dminor. I kept up with it for a little while. About a week after first culling that together, I threw on an album set I made called Evil Woman Blues (I've made tons of different personal "Blues Standards" sets, Evil Woman Blues being just one of them), which was a compilation of Blues and Blues-derived songs about how a woman done the singer wrong, from artists such as Charlie Patton all the way to Led Zeppelin and further on to Stevie Ray Vaughn and Keb Mo. Well, after listening to it, I figured all good Blues artists had at least one song about how a woman done them wrong, so why not me? So here's what I did. Using the cliche lines found in nearly every one of the songs, I threw together this little ditty (which, honestly, means nothing to me because, so far, I haven't actually experienced this) together. Keep in mind these lyrics are rough and need some polishing. In fact, I wouldn't mind some help with it... It is, basically, a guitar solo with lyrics. It is a slow, mournful 12-bar blues in Dminor, so imagine that when you're reading these lyrics: ------------------------------ Evil Woman Blues I wanna tell you 'bout a little woman Did an evil thing to me I wanna tell you 'bout a little woman Did an evil thing to me You know she made so angry So much I could not see You know when she walked She shook just like a willow tree You know when she walked She shook just like a willow tree I guess I couldn't keep her satisfied You know she walked all over me (solo 1) Every day I went to work Brought home my hard-earned pay, yeah Every day I went to work Brought home my hard-earned pay, yeah I know she took that money And gave to another man When I opened my front door I'd hear my back door slam When I opened my front door I'd hear my back door slam So I said to myself "I must have a back-door man" (solo 2) So one day I got my gun Shot that evil woman down So one day I got my gun Shot that evil woman down And now I'm here behind these bars Wearin' my murder crown This story has a lesson For the men listenin' to my sorrow This story has a lesson For the men listenin' to my sorrow Watch out for evil woman And if you find a girl you like But she's taken You best leave her alone (Turn-around, end) ------------------------------ Copyright Nathan Hevenstone 2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
