comments: man, u2 really just rubs me the wrong way. this is basically their only song that i can tolerate or like. well, this and <i>hold me thrill me kiss me kill me</i> from the batman forever soundtrack, but that's because batman forever is the best batman movie ever, forever. <br>

lyrics: johnny take a walk with your sister, the moon<br>
let her pale light in to fill up your room<br>
you've been living underground, eating from a can<br>
you've been running away from what you don't understand<br>
<br>
love, she's slipping<br>
you're sliding down<br>
will she be there when you<br>
hit the ground?<br>
<br>
it's all right, it's all right, it's all right<br>
she moves in mysterious ways<br>
it's all right, it's all right, it's all right<br>
she moves in mysterious ways<br>
<br>
johnny take a dive with your sister in the rain<br>
let her talk about the things you can't explain<br>
to touch is to heal, to hurt is to steal<br>
if you want to kiss the sky, better learn how to kneel<br>
on your knees boy<br>
<br>
she's the wave, she turned the tide<br>
she sees a man inside the child<br>
<br>
it's all right, it's all right, it's all right<br>
she moves in mysterious ways<br>
it's all right, it's all right, it's all right<br>
she moves in mysterious ways<br>
<br>
it's all right, it's all right, it's all right<br>
lift my days, light up my nights<br>
<br>
one day you look back and you see<br>
where you were held out by this love<br>
while you can stand there, you could move on this moment<br>
follow this feeling<br>
<br>
it's all right, it's all right, it's all right<br>
she moves in mysterious ways<br>
it's all right, it's all right, it's all right<br>
she moves in mysterious ways<br>
<br>
it's all right, it's all right, it's all right<br>
we move through the miracle days<br>
it's all right, it's all right, it's all right<br>
spirit moves in mysterious ways<br>
it's all right, it's all right, it's all right<br>
lift my days, light up my nights<br>lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04966499899177811009noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827977992629470612.post-36539251874424807332014-01-27T09:00:00.000-08:002014-01-27T09:00:05.394-08:00cover #55: i'm on firesong: i'm on fire<br>

original: bruce springsteen<br>
<br>
comments: there are undertones to this song that always made me a little uneasy; the not-so-veiled references to venereal disease, the lack of clarity on whether or not the guy in the song is a homicidal rapist, the overbearing stalker-ness. bat for lashes' version, however, evokes madames of lower-middle-class brothel houses. to each their own. <br>

did he go away and leave you all alone<br>
i got a bad desire<br>
oh, oh, oh, i'm on fire<br>

i can take you higher<br>

sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby<br>
edgy and dull<br>
and cut a six-inch valley<br>
through the middle of my soul<br>
<br>
at night i wake up<br>
with the sheets soaking wet<br>
and a freight train running<br>
through the middle of my head<br>
only you can cool my desire<br>

lyrics: ground control to major tom <br>
ground control to major tom <br>
take your protein pills, and put your helmet on <br>
ground control to major tom<br>
commencing countdown, engines on<br>
check ignition, and may god's love be with you <br>
<br>
this is ground control to major tom<br>
you've really made the grade <br>
and the papers want to know whose shirts you wear <br>
now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare <br>
<br>
this is major tom to ground control<br>
i'm stepping through the door <br>
and i'm floating in a most peculiar way<br>
and the stars look very different today<br>
here am i sitting in a tin can<br>
far above the world <br>
planet earth is blue <br>
and there's nothing i can do <br>
<br>
though i'm past one hundred thousand miles<br>
i'm feeling very still <br>
and i think my spaceship knows which way to go <br>
tell my wife i love her very much<br>
she knows <br>
<br>
ground control to major tom<br>
your circuit's dead<br>
there's something wrong<br>
can you hear me, major tom?<br>
can you hear me, major tom? <br>
can you hear me, major tom? <br>
can you<br>
here am i floating in my tin can<br>
far above the moon <br>
planet earth is blue<br>
and there's nothing i can do<br>lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04966499899177811009noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827977992629470612.post-75574781612897055232013-12-13T09:00:00.000-08:002013-12-13T09:00:01.363-08:00cover #52: todaysong: today<br>

comments: maybe i should start a spin-off blog dedicated to terrible covers of songs. we can toss evans blue and fear the clown there, and that one a perfect circle cover, and this one. i think the real crime here, in my (uninformed due to never hearing this band before) opinion is dudeguysinger trying to sound like billy corgan, when even billy corgan should be trying to sound less like billy corgan sometimes.<br>

lyrics: today is the greatest<br>
day i've ever known<br>
can't live for tomorrow<br>
tomorrow's much too long<br>
i'll burn my eyes out<br>
before i get out <br>
<br>
i wanted more<br>
than life could ever grant me<br>
bored by the chore<br>
of saving face<br>
<br>
today is the greatest<br>
day i've never known<br>
can't wait for tomorrow<br>
i might not have that long<br>
i'll tear my heart out<br>
before i get out<br>
<br>
pink-ribbon scars<br>
that never forget<br>
i tried so hard<br>
to cleanse these regrets<br>
my angel wings<br>
were bruised and restrained<br>
my belly stings<br>
<br>
today is<br>
today is<br>
today is<br>
the greatest day<br>
<br>
i want to turn you on<br>
i want to turn you on<br>
i want to turn you on<br>
i want to turn you<br>
<br>
today is the greatest<br>
today is the greatest day<br>
today is the greatest day<br>

i could waste a thousand years <br>
wrapped in sorrow, words are token <br>
come inside and catch my tears <br>
you've been talkin', but believe me<br>
if it's true you do not know <br>
this boy loves without a reason <br>
i'm prepared to let you go <br>
<br>
if it's love you want from me <br>
then take it away <br>
everything is not what you see <br>
it's over again <br>

comments: (whoops, i thought i'd scheduled this and all that. my bad!) you know, there really isn't anything i can say about the combination of massive attack and sepultura. i think this song might be <i>too</i> pretty, kind of like how the better known supermodels, apart from their ability to be a walking clothes hanger, are remembered because of some outstanding quirk in their features (cindy crawford's mole, lily cole's weird alien face and head, etc).<br>

<br>
lyrics: is this the real life?<br>
is this just fantasy?<br>
caught in a landslide<br>
no escape from reality<br>
open your eyes<br>
look up to the skies and see<br>
i'm just a poor boy, i need no sympathy<br>
because i'm easy come, easy go<br>
little high, little low<br>
any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me<br>
to me<br>
<br>
mama, just killed a man<br>
put a gun against his head<br>
pulled my trigger, now he's dead<br>
mama, life had just begun<br>
but now i've gone and thrown it all away<br>
mama, ooh<br>
didn't mean to make you cry<br>
if i'm not back again this time tomorrow<br>
carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters<br>
<br>
too late, my time has come<br>
sent shivers down my spine<br>
body's aching all the time<br>
boodbye, everybody<br>
i've got to go<br>
gotta leave you all behind and face the truth<br>
<br>
mama, ooh<br>
i don't wanna die<br>
i sometimes wish i'd never been born at all<br>
<br>
i see a little silhouetto of a man<br>
scaramouche, scaramouche<br>
will you do the fandango?<br>
thunderbolt and lightning<br>
very very frightening me<br>
galileo, galileo<br>
galileo, galileo<br>
galileo, figaro<br>
magnifico<br>
<br>
i'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me<br>
he's just a poor boy from a poor family<br>
spare him his life from this monstrosity<br>
<br>
easy come, easy go<br>
will you let me go?<br>
bismillah, no<br>
we will not let you go<br>
let him go<br>
bismillah, we will not let you go<br>
let him go<br>
bismillah, we will not let you go<br>
let me go<br>
will not let you go<br>
let me go<br>
will not let you go<br>
never, never, never let me go<br>
no, no, no, no, no, no, no<br>
oh mama mia, mama mia<br>
mama mia, let me go<br>
beelzebub has a devil put aside for me<br>
for me, for me<br>
<br>
so you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?<br>
so you think you can love me and leave me to die?<br>
oh, baby<br>
can't do this to me, baby<br>
just gotta get out<br>
just gotta get right outta here<br>
<br>
nothing really matters<br>
anyone can see<br>
nothing really matters<br>
nothing really matters<br>
to me<br>
<br>

if, for some twisted and psychotic reason, you would actually like to spend money on the cover version of "people are people", you're in luck.<br />

lyrics: people are people<br />
so why should it be<br />
you and i should get along so awfully<br />
people are people<br />
so why should it be<br />
you and i should get along so awfully<br />
<br />
so we're different colours<br />
and we're different creeds<br />
and different people<br />
have different needs<br />
it's obvious you hate me<br />
though i've done nothing wrong<br />
i've never ever met you<br />
so what could i have done<br />
<br />
i can't understand<br />
what makes a man<br />
hate another man<br />
help me understand<br />
<br />
people are people<br />
so why should it be<br />
you and i should get along so awfully<br />
people are people<br />
so why should it be<br />
you and i should get along so awfully<br />
<br />
help me understand<br />
help me understand<br />
<br />
now you're punching<br />
and you're kicking<br />
and you're shouting at me<br />
i'm relying on your common decency<br />
so far it hasn't surfaced<br />
but i'm sure it exists<br />
it just takes a while to travel<br />
from your head to your fists<br />
<br />
i can't understand<br />
what makes a man<br />
hate another man<br />
help me understand<br />
<br />
people are people<br />
so why should it be<br />
you and i should get along so awfully<br />
people are people<br />
so why should it be<br />

lyrics: came in from a rainy thursday<br />
on the avenue<br />
thought i heard you talking softly<br />
i turned on the lights, the tv<br />
and the radio<br />
still i can't escape the ghost of you<br />
<br />
what has happened to it all?<br />
crazy, some are saying<br />
where is the life that i recognize?<br />
gone away<br />
<br />
but i won't cry for yesterday<br />
there's an ordinary world<br />
somehow i have to find<br />
and as i try to make my way<br />
to the ordinary world<br />
i will learn to survive<br />
<br />
passion or coincidence<br />
once prompted you to say<br />
"pride will tear us both apart"<br />
well now pride's gone out the window<br />
cross the rooftops, run away<br />
left me in the vacuum of my heart<br />
<br />
what is happening to me?<br />
crazy, some'd say<br />
where is my friend when i need you most?<br />
gone away<br />
<br />
but i won't cry for yesterday<br />
there's an ordinary world<br />
somehow i have to find<br />
and as i try to make my way<br />
to the ordinary world<br />
i will learn to survive<br />
<br />
papers in the roadside<br />
tell of suffering and greed<br />
here today, forgot tomorrow<br />
here besides the news<br />
of holy war and holy need<br />
ours is just a little sorrowed talk<br />
<br />
and i don't cry for yesterday<br />
there's an ordinary world<br />
somehow i have to find<br />
and as i try to make my way<br />
to the ordinary world<br />
i will learn to survive<br />
<br />
every one<br />
is my world<br />
i will learn to survive<br />
any one<br />
is my world<br />
i will learn to survive<br />
any one<br />
is my world<br />
every one<br />
is my worldlizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04966499899177811009noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827977992629470612.post-36504665016926801172012-10-29T09:00:00.000-07:002013-11-18T12:30:17.800-08:00cover #45: while my guitar gently weepssong: while my guitar gently weeps<br />

comments: even if he was still alive, i could never marry peter steele. because i don't like the beatles.<br />
<br />
yeah, i'll let that absorb for a second.<br />
<br />
but seriously, i just... don't. i appreciate their contribution to the music world, and the artists they've influenced, and blah blah blah, but i just don't like the beatles themselves. covers of their songs, though... i can get behind those.<br />

lyrics: i look at you all<br />
see the love there that's sleeping<br />
while my guitar gently weeps<br />
i look at the floor<br />
and i see it needs sweeping<br />
still my guitar gently weeps<br />
<br />
i don't know why nobody told you<br />
how to unfold your love<br />
i don't know how someone controlled you<br />
they bought and sold you<br />
<br />
i look at the world<br />
and i notice it's turning<br />
while my guitar gently weeps<br />
with every mistake<br />
we must surely be learning<br />
still my guitar gently weeps<br />
<br />
i don't know how you were diverted<br />
you were perverted too<br />
i don't know how you were inverted<br />
no one alerted you<br />
<br />
i look at you all<br />
see the love there that's sleeping<br />
while my guitar gently weeps<br />
look at you all<br />
still my guitar gently weeps<br />

the hammer of the gods<br />
will drive our ships to new lands<br />
to fight the horde<br />
singing and crying<br />

will be the western shore<br />
<br />
we come from the land of the ice and snow<br />
from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow<br />
how soft, your fields so green<br />
can whisper tales of gore<br />
of how we calmed<br />
the tides of war<br />
we are your overlords<br />
<br />
on we sweep with<br />
threshing oar<br />
our only goal<br />
will be the western shore<br />

and rebuild all your ruins<br />

we all have memories we'd rather forget.<br />

lyrics: sitting with the thinker<br />
trying to work it out<br />
it's a traffic jam of the brain<br />
makes you wanna scream and shout<br />
presidential party<br />
no one wants to dance<br />
looking for a new star<br />
to put you in a trance<br />
<br />
let's go all the way<br />
let's go all the way<br />
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah<br />
let's go all the way<br />
<br />
working in a factory<br />
eight days a week<br />
try to make dollar<br />
damn what a beat<br />
cartoon capers<br />
happen in reality<br />
rich man poor man<br />
living in fantasy<br />
<br />
let's go all the way<br />
let's go all the way<br />
ah, ah, ah<br />
let's go all the way<br />
<br />
living in new york<br />
looks like an apple core<br />
asphalt jungle<br />
got to be a man of war<br />
california dreamers<br />
sleeping in the sand<br />
the hollywood squares are<br />
living in disney land<br />
<br />
let's go all the way<br />
let's go all the way<br />
let's go all the way<br />
let's go all the way<br />
we need heaven on earth today<br />
we can make a better way<br />
let's go all the way<br />
go all the way<br />
yeah, let's go all the waylizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04966499899177811009noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827977992629470612.post-62111501294198069972012-10-16T11:00:00.000-07:002013-11-18T12:31:46.123-08:00cover #41: lay lady laysong: lay lady lay<br />

comments: on the surface, this cover seems deserving of a "shitty cover" tag: screamy sing-talk vocals, weird background noises... and yet, somehow, it works--and definitely removes itself from the original.<br />

lyrics: lay lady lay<br />
lay across my big brass bed<br />
lay lady lay<br />
lay across my big brass bed<br />
whatever colors you have in your mind<br />
i’ll show them to you and you’ll see them shine<br />
<br />
lay lady lay<br />
lay across my big brass bed<br />
stay lady stay<br />
stay with your man awhile<br />
until the break of day<br />
let me see you make him smile<br />
<br />
his clothes are dirty<br />
but his hands are clean<br />
and you’re the best thing that he’s ever seen<br />
stay lady stay<br />
stay with your man awhile<br />
<br />
why wait any longer for the world to begin<br />
you can have your cake and eat it too<br />
why wait any longer for the one you love<br />
when he’s standing in front of you<br />
<br />
lay lady lay<br />
lay across my big brass bed<br />
stay lady stay<br />
stay while the night is still ahead<br />
<br />
i long to see you in the morning light<br />
i long to reach for you in the night<br />
stay lady stay<br />
stay while the night is still ahead<br />

lyrics: way to go<br />
mr. microphone<br />
show us all<br />
what you don't know<br />
centuries<br />
secret societies<br />
he's our commander still<br />
space dog<br />
<br />
so sure<br />
we were on something<br />
your feet are finally on the ground, he said<br />
so sure<br />
we were on something<br />
your feet are just on the ground, girl<br />
<br />
rain and snow<br />
our engines have<br />
been receiving your<br />
eager call<br />
there's colonel<br />
dirtyfishydishcloth<br />
he'll distract her good<br />
don't worry so<br />
<br />
and to the one you thought was on your side<br />
she can't understand, she truly believes the lie<br />
<br />
lemon pie<br />
he's coming through<br />
our commander still<br />
space dog<br />
lines secure<br />
space dog<br />
<br />
deck the halls<br />
i'm young again<br />
i'm you again<br />
racing turtles<br />
the grapefruit is winning<br />
seems i keep getting this story<br />
twisted, so where's neil when you need him<br />
deck the halls<br />
it's you again, it's you again<br />
somewhere, someone must know the ending<br />
is she still<br />
pissing in the river now<br />
heard she'd gone<br />
moved into a trailer park<br />
<br />
so sure<br />
we were on something<br />
your feet<br />
are finally on the ground, he said<br />
so sure<br />
we were on something<br />
your feet<br />
are just on the ground, girl<br />
so sure<br />
we were on something<br />
your feet<br />
are finally on the ground, he said<br />
so sure<br />
we were on something<br />
your feet<br />
are just on the ground, girl<br />lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04966499899177811009noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827977992629470612.post-9063902764694355132012-10-04T09:00:00.000-07:002013-11-18T12:32:43.306-08:00cover #39: tainted lovesong: tainted love<br>

lyrics: sometimes i feel i've got to<br>
run away, i've got to<br>
get away<br>
from the pain that you drive into the heart of me<br>
the love we share<br>
seems to go nowhere<br>
and i've lost my light<br>
for i toss and turn, i can't sleep at night<br>
<br>
once i ran to you<br>
i ran<br>
now i'll run from you<br>
this tainted love you've given<br>
i give you all a boy could give you<br>
take my tears and that's not nearly all<br>
tainted love<br>
tainted love<br>
<br>
now i know i've got to<br>
run away, i've got to<br>
get away<br>
you don't really want any more from me<br>
to make things right<br>
you need someone to hold you tight<br>
and you'll think love is to pray<br>
but i'm sorry, i don't pray that way<br>
<br>
once i ran to you<br>
i ran<br>
now i'll run from you<br>
this tainted love you've given<br>
i give you all a boy could give you<br>
take my tears and that's not nearly all<br>
tainted love<br>
tainted love<br>
<br>
don't touch me please<br>
i cannot stand the way you tease<br>
i love you though you hurt me so<br>
now i'm going to pack my things and go<br>
<br>
tainted love, tainted love<br>
tainted love, tainted love<br>
touch me baby, tainted love<br>
touch me baby, tainted love<br>
tainted love<br>
tainted love<br>

comments: i used to despise rush. the singer's voice was to me like running a dry finger down a dirt-covered windshield. my opinion has since softened to the point where i can enjoy them when they pop up on the radio. and deadsy, of course, is always cool.<br />

lyrics: a modern day warrior<br />
mean, mean stride<br />
today's tom sawyer<br />
mean, mean pride<br />
<br />
though his mind is not for rent<br />
don't put him down as arrogant<br />
his reserve, a quiet defense<br />
riding out the day's events<br />
the river<br />
<br />
what you say about his company<br />
is what you say about society<br />
catch the mist, catch the myth<br />
catch the mystery, catch the drift<br />
<br />
the world is<br />
the world is<br />
love and life are deep<br />
maybe as his skies are wide<br />
<br />
today's tom sawyer<br />
he gets high on you<br />
and the space he invades<br />
he gets by on you<br />
<br />
no, his mind is not for rent<br />
to any god or government<br />
always hopeful, yet discontent<br />
he knows changes aren't permanent<br />
but change is<br />
<br />
what you say about his company<br />
is what you say about society<br />
catch the witness, catch the wit<br />
catch the spirit, catch the spit<br />
<br />
the world is<br />
the world is<br />
love and life are deep<br />
maybe as his eyes are wide<br />
<br />
exit the warrior<br />
today's tom sawyer<br />
he gets high on you<br />
and the energy you trade<br />
he gets right on to<br />
the friction of the day<br />lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04966499899177811009noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827977992629470612.post-74896400815898010092012-09-27T12:50:00.000-07:002013-11-18T12:33:16.457-08:00cover #37: girls on filmsong: girls on film<br />

lyrics: see them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight<br />
heads turning as the lights flashing out, it's so bright<br />
then walk right out to the fourline track<br />
there's a camera rolling on her back, on her back<br />
and i sense the rhythm humming in a frenzy all the way down her spine<br />
<br />
girls on film<br />
girls on film<br />
girls on film<br />
girls on film<br />
<br />
lipstick cherry all over the lens as she's falling<br />
in miles of sharp blue water coming in where she lies<br />
the diving man's coming up for air cuz the crowd all love pulling dolly by the hair, by the hair<br />
and she wonders how she ever got here as she goes under again<br />
<br />
girls on film<br />
two minutes later<br />
girls on film<br />
girls on film<br />
got your picture<br />
girls on film<br />
<br />
wider baby, smiling, you just made a million<br />
fuses pumping live heat twisting out on a wire<br />
take one last glimpse into the night i'm touching close i'm holding bright, holding tight<br />
give me shudders in a whisper take me up til i'm shooting a star<br />
<br />
girls on film<br />
she's more than a lady<br />
girls on film<br />
girls on film<br />

yeahyeahyeah, anyway. it is my desire to bring forth some maybe lesser known (except for tori amos' cover of "smells like teen spirit"; i think we've all heard it by now, but it is pretty darn different, and therefore earns a spot here) and slightly weirder covers, whilst at the same time avoiding ripping off the entire <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000066AW7/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000066AW7&linkCode=as2&tag=ironiccovers-20" target="_blank">nearvana</a> - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0014CYYB4/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0014CYYB4&linkCode=as2&tag=ironiccovers-20" target="_blank">san francisco</a> album.

big shocker, amazon doesn't have bile's cover of "scentless apprentice". damn, amazon, you're really dropping the ball here, son. however, they do have bile's cover of "midlife crisis". that's some good stuff there... gonna have to get that one. anywho.<br />

lyrics: like most babies smell like butter<br />
his smell smelled like no other<br />
he was born scentless and senseless<br />
he was born a scentless apprentice<br />
<br />
go away<br />
go away<br />
go away<br />
<br />
every wet nurse refused to feed him<br />
electrolytes smell like semen<br />
i promise not to sell your perfumed secrets<br />
there are countless formulas for pressing flowers<br />
<br />
go away<br />
go away<br />
go away<br />
<br />
i lie in the soil and fertilize mushrooms<br />
leaking out gas fumes are made into perfume<br />
you can't fire me cuz i quit<br />
throw me in the fire and i won't throw a fit<br />
<br />
go away<br />
go away<br />
go away<br />
go away<br />
go away<br />
go away<br />
go away<br />

lyrics: load up on guns<br />
and bring your friends<br />
it's fun to lose<br />
and to pretend<br />
she's over-bored<br />
and self-assured<br />
oh no, i know a dirty word<br />
<br />
hello, hello, hello, how low<br />
hello, hello, hello, how low<br />
hello, hello, hello, how low<br />
hello, hello, hello<br />
<br />
with the lights out<br />
it's less dangerous<br />
here we are now<br />
entertain us<br />
i feel stupid<br />
and contagious<br />
here we are now<br />
entertain us<br />
a mulatto<br />
an albino<br />
a mosquito<br />
my libido<br />
<br />
i'm worse at what i do best<br />
and for this gift i feel blessed<br />
our little group has always been<br />
and always will until the end<br />
<br />
hello, hello, hello, how low<br />
hello, hello, hello, how low<br />
hello, hello, hello, how low<br />
hello, hello, hello<br />
<br />
with the lights out<br />
it's less dangerous<br />
here we are now<br />

here we are now<br />

a mulatto<br />
an albino<br />
a mosquito<br />
my libido<br />
<br />
and i forget just why i taste<br />
oh yeah, i guess it makes me smile<br />
i found it hard, it was hard to find<br />
oh well, whatever, nevermind<br />

hello, hello, hello, how low<br />
hello, hello, hello, how low<br />

i was recently (read: two minutes ago) made aware of green day's "cover" of "eye of the tiger":<br />
<br />

<br />
the most popular comment on the video is most popular for a reason, as it is entirely accurate:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Billie: you guys know the lyrics?<br />Mike: i dunno?<br />Tre: improvise<br />Billie: BA NA NA</blockquote>
<br />
i don't even really like green day, and yet this will hold a special place in my heart, as it is similar to how i "cover" songs by pearl jam when they come on the radio. <br />

comments: my first encounter with this song (that i can remember) was not in the 80's, or 90's, but a few years ago, when <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/baratsandbereta" target="_blank">barats and bereta</a> used it at the end of their video, the good word:<br />

lyrics: this speech is my recital<br />
i think it's very vital<br />
to rock a rhyme, that's right on time<br />
"it's tricky" is the title, here we go<br />
<br />
it's tricky to rock a rhyme<br />
to rock a rhyme that's right on time<br />
it's tricky, it's tricky<br />
tricky, tricky, tricky<br />
it's tricky to rock a rhyme<br />
to rock a rhyme that's right on time<br />
it's tricky, tricky, tricky, tricky<br />
<br />
i met this little girlie<br />
her hair was kinda curly<br />
went to her house and bust her out<br />
i had to leave real early<br />
these girls are really sleazy<br />
all they just say is "please me"<br />
or spend some time and rock a rhyme<br />
i said "it's not that easy"<br />
<br />
it's tricky to rock a rhyme<br />
to rock a rhyme that's right on time<br />
it's tricky, it's tricky<br />
tricky, tricky, tricky<br />
it's tricky to rock a rhyme<br />
to rock a rhyme that's right on time<br />
it's tricky, tricky, tricky, tricky<br />
<br />
in new york the people talk and try to make us rhyme<br />
they really hawk but we just walk because we have no time<br />
and in the city it's a pity cuz we just can't hide<br />
tinted windows don't mean nothing, they know who's inside<br />
<br />
it's tricky to rock a rhyme<br />
to rock a rhyme that's right on time<br />
it's tricky, it's tricky<br />
tricky, tricky, tricky<br />
it's tricky to rock a rhyme<br />
to rock a rhyme that's right on time<br />
it's tricky, tricky, tricky, tricky<br />
<br />
when i wake up people take up mostly all of my time<br />
i'm not singing, phone keep ringing cuz i make up a rhyme<br />
i'm not bragging, people nagging cuz they think i'm a star<br />
always tearing what i'm wearing, i think they're going too far<br />
a girl named carol follows daryll every gig we play<br />
then D dissed her and dismissed her, now she's jocking jay<br />
i ain't lying, girls be crying cuz i'm on TV<br />
they even bother my poor father cuz he's down with me<br />
<br />
it's tricky to rock a rhyme<br />
to rock a rhyme that's right on time<br />
it's tricky, it's tricky<br />
tricky, tricky, tricky<br />
it's tricky to rock a rhyme<br />
to rock a rhyme that's right on time<br />
it's tricky, tricky, tricky, tricky<br />
<br />
we are not thugs<br />
we don't use drugs<br />
but you assume on your own<br />
they offer coke<br />
and lots of dope<br />
but we just leave it alone<br />
it's like that y'all, y'all<br />
but we don't quit<br />
you keep on rock, shock<br />
cuz this is itlizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04966499899177811009noreply@blogger.com0
