Although this thread seems much more official than any of the other stickies, or announcement threads, that's just because it's the first in a line of updates. Soon, all the official threads will look like the front page! Good news, eh? So really this is not a very formal thread. Infact it's quite an informal thread. You can post lyrics you wrote, poems you wrote, or evern lyrics and poems you DIDN'T write, and just really like. There aren't even any forms to fill out. Oh, and feel free to discuss eachother's work! We only ask that you try to say, in your post, at one point or another, whether it's your works or someone else's (If it's not yours, please says who's it is).

This is fine:
Totro
Hey, I wrote this poem today:
Jim With Stakes For Feet

Jim was a good boy
He was mostly happy
Though, he didn't have any
Candy, games, or toys

But he really wanted to dance
If he could he would
Dance all day
He'd dance everyone away!

He'd dance, and dance...
And then, he'd dance some more!
Too bad he can only balance
With his feet stuck in the floor.



This is not okay:

Totro
here:

I had a dream
Was in the marines
Didn't know who's above me
Who was below
I didn't know where to go
Who to see
Who to show
Couldn't really tell
But it felt alot like hell
They yelled at me to close the door
When I did, they yelled some more

I had a dream
Fell into a stream
I couldn't swim
And I knew, what a mess I was in
I tried to grab on,
Onto debris,
It floated away
Far away from me

I tried so hard, to wake up,
But something kept dragging me down
I'm back in the dream, where I drown
What a negative theme.


And that's it!

...

Wait, actually... Also, try to say if it is a lyric or a poem.

Here're lyrics to a song my friend and I just finished. Well, it's mostly finished. We have to finish the piano line (and possibly drums) It's got voice and guitar, though.

Nothing To Say

Got nothing to say
Don't know what do do
I feel like I'm walking all over you

Don't jump the gun
I thought you'd stay where you were
But you came, anyway

Y'left your note on my door
Saw it when I went to the first floor
Thought I'd give you a call
And appologize
Made no difference at all
I can't win
And I'm more sorry than I've ever been

I'm stuck in a box made of tin
I'm holdin' my knee
Because I've got a pox on my skin((/shin?))
I'm bleedin'
But it don't matter
I can't win
(I never win)

I'm listening to this song right now, totally love it. But it's a sad song.

Rufus Wainwright

This Love Affair

I don't know what I'm doing
I don't know what I'm saying
I don't know why I'm watching all these white people dancing

I don't know where I'm going
But I do know that I'm walking
Where?
I don't know
Just away from this love affair

I can't say that I'm cruisin'
Not that I don't like cruisin'
Just that I'm bruisin from you

I can't say that I'm waltzin'
Not that I don't like waltzing
Would rather be waltzin' with you

So I guess that I'm going
I guess that I am walking
Where?
I don't know
Just away from this love affair

Amy Lee-BloodRayne, I love that song too! Rufus Wainwright's a genius.

Anyway, I'm a Death Cab for Cutie fan... I've been listening to this song a lot because it's summer-- the more you listen to it, the more it makes sense... it's bittersweet like most of their songs. Do enjoy.


Death Cab for Cutie

Summer Skin

Squeaky swings and tall grass
the longest shadows ever cast
The water's warm and children swim
and we frolicked about in our summer skin

I don't recall a single care
just greenery and humid air
Then Labor day came and went
and we shed what was left of our summer skin

On the night you left I came over
and we peeled the freckles from our shoulders
Our brand new coats so flushed and pale
And I knew your heart I couldn't win
Cause the season's change was a conduit
And we'd left our love in our summer skin
Cause the seasons change was a conduit
And we left our love in our summer skin

Another Rufus song, I love him so much ^.^

Rufus Wainwright

"Poses"

The yellow walls are lined with portraits
And I've got my new red fetching leather jacket
All these poses such beautiful poses
Makes any boy feel like picking up roses

There's never been such grave a matter
As comparing our new brand name black sunglasses
All these poses such beautiful poses
Makes any boy feel as pretty as princes

The green autumnal parks conducting
All the city streets a wondrous chorus singing
All these poses oh how can you blame me
Life is a game and true love is a trophy

And you said
Watch my head about it
Baby you said watch my head about it
My head about it
Oh no oh no oh no
Oh no oh no no kidding

Reclined amongst these packs of reasons
For to smokes the days away into the evenings
All these poses of classical torture
Ruined my mind like a snake in the orchard
I did go from wanting to be someone now
I'm drunk and wearing flip - flops on Fifth Avenue

Once you've fallen from classical virtue
Won't have a soul for to wake up and hold you

In the green autumnal parks conducting
All the city streets a wondrous chorus
Singing all these poses now no longer boyish
Made me a man ah but who cares what that it

And you said watch my head about it
Baby you said watch my head about it
My head about it
Oh no oh no oh no
Oh no oh no well you said
Watch my head about it
Baby you said watch my head about it
My head about it
Oh no oh no oh no
Oh no oh no no kidding

Ok, this is from Rent. The lyrics to this song are amazing. It's La vie Boheme (which I think is cool, sense Rent was based on La Boheme). It's even cooler to hear, and much cooler to see (except the Pee Wee Herman comment is kind of issolated, so I felt really weird the first time I heard it.) I cut out some of it (it's really, really long), not that it wasn't a bit butchered before I got this copy. I hate they start with Angels line, so on the soundtrack you have know idea what's going on (oh, and another thing about that line, it's funny because Angel was the one who killed the Akita -hey, she was living on the street, she needed the money.)


ANGEL
Who died?

BENNY
Our Akita

ANGEL, ROGER & COLLINS
Evita?

BENNY
You make fun - yet I'm the one
Attempting to do some good
Or do you really want a neighborhood
Where people piss on your
Stoop every night?
Bohemia, Bohemia's
A fallacy in your head
This is Calcutta,
Bohemia is dead

MARK
Dearly beloved we gather here to say our goodbyes

COLLINS & ROGER
Dies irae - dies illa, Kyrie eleison
Yitgadal v'yitkadash

MARK
Here she lies, no one knew her worth
The late great daughter of Mother Earth
On these nights when we
Celebrate the birth
In that little town of Bethlehem
We raise our glass - you bet your a** to -
La vie Boheme

ALL
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme

MARK
To days of inspiration
Playing hookey, making
Something out of nothing
The need to express-
To communicate,
To going against the grain,
Going insane, going mad
To loving tension, no pension
To more than one dimension,
To starving for attention,
Hating convention, hating pretension
Not to mention of course,
Hating dear old Mom and Dad
To riding your bike,
Midday past the three-piece suits
To fruits - to no absolutes-
To Absolute - to choice-
To the Village Voice-
To any passing fad
To being an us for once ... instead of a them!!

ALL
La vie Boheme, La vie Boheme

MR. GREY
Ahhemm

MAUREEN
Hey Mister - she's my sister (grabs Joannes' a**)

WAITER
So that's five miso soup, four seaweed salad
Three soy burger dinner, two tofu dog platter
And one pasta with meatless balls

ROGER
Eww

COLLINS
It tastes the same

MIMI
If you close your eyes

WAITER
And thirteen orders of fries
Is that it here?

ALL
Wine and beer!

MIMI & ANGEL
To hand-crafted beers
Made in local breweries
To yoga, to yogurt, to rice and beans and cheese
To leather, to dildoes, to curry vindaloo
To huevos rancheros and Maya Angelou

MAUREEN & COLLINS
Emotion, devotion, to causing a commotion
Creation, vacation

MARK
Mucho masturbation

MAUREEN & COLLINS
Compassion, to fashion, to passion when it's new

COLLINS
To Sontag

ANGEL
To Sondheim

FOUR GIRLS
To anything taboo

COLLINS & ROGER
Ginsberg, Dylan Cunnigham and Cage,

COLLINS
Lenny Bruse

ROGER
Langston Hughes

MAUREEN
To the stage

BOHEMIANS
To Uta. To Buddha. Pablo Neruda, too.

MARK & MIMI
Why Dorothy and Toto went over the rainbow
To blow off Auntie Em

ALL
La vie Boheme

MR. GREY
Sisters?

MAUREEN & JOANNE (obviously making out)
We're close

ANGELS & COLLINS (them too)
Brothers!

MARK, ANGEL & MIMI
Bisexuals, trisexuals, homo sapiens,
Carcinogens, hallucinogens, men,
(beat) Pee Wee Herman (beat -ugh)
German wine, turpetine, Gertrude Stein
Antoniotti, Bertolucci, Kurosawa
Carmina Burana

ALL
To apathy, to entropy, to empathy, ecstacy
Vaclav Havel - The Sex Pistols, 8BC
To no shame - never playing the Fame Game

COLLINS
To marijuana

ALL
To sodomy, it's between God and me
To S & M

BENNY
Waiter ... Waiter ... Waiter ....... Waiter!

ALL
La vie Boheme

_____________________________________________________

ALL
Yeah! To dance!

MIMI
No way to make a living, masochism, pain, perfection
Muscle spasms, chiropractors, short-careers, eating disorders

ALL
Film!

MARK
Adventure, Tedium. No family, boring locations,
Dark rooms, perfect faces, egos, money,
Hollywood and sleaze!

ALL
Music!

ANGEL
Food of love, emotion, mathematics, isolation,
Rhythm, power, feeling, harmony, and heavy competition

ALL
Anarchy!

COLLINS & MAUREEN
Revolution, justice, screaming for solutions,
Forcing changes, risk, and danger,
Making noise and making pleas

ALL
To faggots, lezzies, dykes, cross dressers too

MAUREEN
To me!

MARK
To me!

COLLINS & ANGEL
To me!

ALL
To you, and you and you, you and you
To people living with, living with, living with
Not dying from disease!
Let he among us without sin
Be the first to condemn
La vie Boheme, la vie Boheme
La vie Boheme, la vie Boheme

MARK
Anyone out of the mainstream
Is anyone in the mainstream?
Anyone alive - with a sex drive
Tear down the wall
Aren't we all

The opposite of war isn't peace...
It's creation

ALL
Oooooh
La vie Boheme
VIVA, la vie Boheme!!
