EEVILMURRAY Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 We were talking about this in Sociology today. Talking about social class we came across the lyric "Don't be fooled by the rocks that I gotI'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block" Meaning, dont be fooled with my diamonds, I'm still from a ghetto. Really? I interpreted it as "I'm a bitch, ram a sitck up my ass." :< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefkov Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 i like listening to the lyrics inthe songs i like. Most of the Hot Hot Heat lyrics are pretty cool, and i go on t'internet and have a look a lyrics for most songs. Just to sing along most of the time, but also its funny what they say in some songs. In one hellogoodbye song, it sounded like hey just mumbled some words, but then looking on the internet and trying to work out, it actually made sense.

EEVILMURRAY Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Here's some banging lyrics for you: Come pretty lady, dance with me We'll be together forever Come pretty lady, dance with me That's why we'll always be friends. Bullshit from Randy Newman for you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninty 182 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I don't think it's a case of music over lyrics or lyrics over music, it's just that lyrics can add so much to a song and if they're good enough stand up on their own. and again some more lyrics from me: How many roads must a man walk downBefore you call him a man? Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand? Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly Before they're forever banned? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, The answer is blowin' in the wind. How many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky? Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry? Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows That too many people have died? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, The answer is blowin' in the wind. How many years can a mountain exist Before it's washed to the sea? Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free? Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head, Pretending he just doesn't see? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, The answer is blowin' in the wind. simple and effective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle quite a bit when it comes to writing lyrics. But I can pick up a guitar and create a nice little riff after about a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
