      I used to bum ol' Maynard. I love the lyrics to Rosetta Stoned.

      1. Unsuccessfully Coping With The Natural Beauty Of Infidelity

      [a. Anorganic Transmutogenesis (synthetic division)]

      Trust and you'll be trusted
      Says the liar to the fool
      Lust and so what if you're busted?
      In love and war there ain't no rules

      Do you believe in forever?
      I don't even believe in tomorrow
      The only things that last forever
      Are memories and sorrow

      Out of sight out of mind
      The motto of betrayal
      The prophets preach to forgive and forget
      I'm sorry, but I am unable

      [b. coitus interruptus]

      [c. I Know You're Fucking Someone Else]

      You went to L'amour Saturday night
      Red nails and lipstick dressed two sizes two tight
      His tongue down your throat
      His hand up your skirt
      Yeah I'm a man
      But it still hurts

      Slut
      Whore
      Cunt

      I know you're fucking someone else
      (He knows you're fucking someone else)
      I know you're fucking someone else
      (He knows you're fucking someone else)

      You had cock on your mind
      And cum on your breath
      Inserted that diaphragm before you left
      Practicing freelance gynecology
      Where there's a womb there's a way
      With you it's for free

      Slut
      Whore
      Cunt

      I know you're fucking someone else
      (He knows you're fucking someone else)
      I know you're fucking someone else
      (He knows you're fucking someone else)

      Done it before
      Time after time
      Refused to learn your lesson
      Gave 'til it hurt
      Thought it was right
      Only fools make mistakes twice

      So you sit home
      Drinking alone
      Empty bottle in your hand
      Don't even try
      To sort out the lies
      It's worse to try to understand

      You
      You make me hate myself

      I know you're fucking someone else
      (He knows you're fucking someone else)
      I know you're fucking someone else
      (He knows you're fucking someone else)
      I know you're fucking someone else
      (He knows you're fucking someone else)
      I know you're fucking someone else
      (He knows you're fucking someone else)

      I know
      (He knows)
      I said I know
      (He said he knows)

      I know
      (He knows)



      AND Peter Gabriel -

      The Lamia

      The scent grows richer, he knows he must be near,
      He finds a long passageway lit by chandelier.
      Each step he takes, the perfumes change
      From familiar fragrance to flavours strange.
      A magnificent chamber meets his eye.

      Inside, a long rose-water pool is shrouded by fine mist.
      Stepping in the moist silence, with a warm breeze hes gently kissed.

      Thinking he is quite alone,
      He enters the room, as if it were his own,
      But ripples on the sweet pink water
      Reveal some company unthought of-

      Rael stands astonished doubting his sight,
      Struck by beauty, gripped in fright;
      Three vermilion snakes of female face,
      The smallest motion, filled with grace.
      Muted melodies fill the echoing hall,
      But there is no sign of warning in the sirens call:
      Rael welcome, we are the Lamia of the pool.
      We have been waiting for our waters to bring you cool.

      Putting fear beside him, he trusts in beauty blind,
      He slips into the nectar, leaving his shredded clothes behind.
      With their tongues, they test, taste and judge all that is mine.
      They move in a series of caresses
      That glide up and down my spine.

      As they nibble the fruit of my flesh, I feel no pain,
      Only a magic that a name would stain.
      With the first drop of my blood in their veins
      Their faces are convulsed in mortal pains.
      The fairest cries, We all have loved you Rael.

      Each empty snakelike body floats,
      Silent sorrow in empty boats.
      A sickly sourness fills the room,
      The bitter harvest of a dying bloom.
      Looking for motion I know I will not find,
      I stroke the curls now turning pale, in which Id lain entwined
      O Lamia, your flesh that remains I will take as my food
      It is the scent of garlic that lingers on my choclate fingers.

      Looking behind me, the water turns icy blue,
      The lights are dimmed and once again the stage is set for you.

    • I forgot Lex Marshall from Daughters, he's very high up on my list. Also Springsteen because it's like reading a short story or watching a film when you listen to stuff like The River and Atlantic City.
    •  J ParkerJ Parker
    • Oh yeah, Springsteen, oh yeah, particularly Jungleland, well everything off Born to Run...

      Also worst lyrics goes to Rollins for Burned Beyond Recognition (great song mind you). Or are they the best? I just don't know.

      I like you, but I don't like you
      I want you, but I don't want you
      I need you, but I don't need you
      I am one time, I am right now, I am what's left, I am right now
      I touched you, but I don't touch you
      I feel you, but I don't feel you
      I know you, but I don't know you
      I am one time, I am right here, I am what's keft, I am right here
      I remain burned beyond recognition
      I remain burned beyond recognition
      I like you, but you don't like me
      I want you, but you don't want me
      I need you, but you don't need me
      I am one time, I am right here, I am what's left, I am right now
      You touch me, but you don't touch me
      You feel me, but you don't feel me
      You know me, but you don't know me
      I am one time, I am right here, I am what's left, I am right now
      I remain burned beyond recognition
      I remain burned beyond recognition
      I remain burned beyond recognition
      I remain burned beyond recognition

      no sir.

      tbh i probably don't know many of the lyrics, i just like the lyrics for comedy purposes. replace the lyrics with ones purely about regular stuff that songs have in them and bumsnogger just wouldn't be bumsnogger. bands that cannot be taken seriously are needed in this world!
