Your favorite lyrics in Melvins songs

[klump]

i thnik the songs ligature and zodiac maybe were inspired by the ZODIAC killer.

[Hog log]

my favourite sentence in melvins song (apart from the " pill pop a dope" thing in houdini) is "they must be slaughtered" ...

HONKY seemed to be underrated, lately

[GOBERT]

toady toady toad oooo la la la , best lyrics ever!

[Fantomastro]

heeeyyyy mister tambourine man, play this song....okay

[blipntime]

You know I realized this in about 96 or so, when I was looking over my girlfriend's typing exercise book, but I think Buzz rips off a lot of his stuff from those books.

It actually used phrases such as "Like a fay," and these random rhythmic nonsense phrases. It sounded exactly like Melvins lyrics. I had a lot of it saved on a computer from way back but the hard drive went out on it.

[Vcavallo]

give me more proof.  i want to see it too.

give me more mysterious..i need more mysterious.  put your..hand.....crlose your face prease, crlose your face, "close my face? heh".  roger moore?

[Green Honey]

(Sounds very much like a Fay Weldon novel, doesn't it?)

[Green Honey]

[Vcavallo]

haha!  funny scene.  it is a fine film, isn't it?  quite beautiful in fact.

it's beauty is rivaled only by seeing multiple flies of yours in a row with the thrusting, and the FLAYvin guhhhh!

[Muzzy]

Well if were still on the topic to talk about Melvins songs and what they mean to you, I just want to say the whole song of "Sacrifice" is really good (Do covers count?)

Well I think it's good because it, to me, describes the way "Those who are afraid to live" (Goverment officials) "Demand a sacrifice of your life" (Troops, to go like to Iraq and "Sacrifice there life".)

I don't know, maybe I'm dillusional.

[Vcavallo]

i always heard it as those who are free to live.  

i'm probably wrong

[idiotboy]

And I hear it as "those too afraid to live", with a pause between 'a' and 'fraid'. Ah fuck, I don't know.  My cat used to be named Flipper, so maybe he'll know.

its definitley afraid on the flipper version - so who is gonna name thier cat 'charmacarmacat'?

[Lividity]

I got some more of my favorite lyrics.
"The world is darkening for me and I can't fight.
Please be clear - die, sleep
First we fear - I sleep
Fast asleep, fast asleep
First we can, then we sleep
Fast asleep, fast asleep."
From "Air Breather Deep In The Arms Of Morphius". I dunno if those lyrics are actually there, but they're cool anyway.

Hey, wait a minute. I think this song's about suicide, or at least death. "I can't fight"? "Then I sleep"? "Then we all sleep"?

[Green Honey]

Loading in the mouth within the forward.

Let me thank you most repeatedly
Hands, eyes, tongue.

To lose your mind
Keep it open.

Lip tight it's prophecy sealed,
wafer wise come dancing
caged and small in it's cavity.
But I can feel your heart
beat it's shape in my hand.
Pounded air patterns, convey messages
you're the brother sended, to the brother soul
yet. But my wounds don't heal.

[Lividity]

Yeah, I like that "but my wounds don't heal" line too.

I forgot about the other "Hag Me" lyric I like.

"I damn your house!"
