Favourite Meat (non-Steinman) lyrics

Space Monkey · 23 Jul 2006, 15:13

I often think Meat's non-Steinman work is harshly over-looked, so let's celebrate some of the great lyrics other writers have given Meat.

- The truth is hard to swallow when you're choking on your pride

- They hand you a pay cheque every week and steal a piece of your sould every day

- Every hero was once, every villain was once, just a boy with a bad attitude

- Life is beautiful because of you

I've always liked "Yes means no means yes means no"

I like 'Can't you hear the planet groanin' like a broken doen machine' in Modern Girl.

I love every friggin' thing this man has done!

LOL

I like from NADE

"It was almost like a movie, the way you said goodbye, you must have spend a lot of time, rehearsing each and every line

Great!

There are loads to say, I like this lyric from BBIS:

"There's a two ton fireball burnin' through the headphones. Cuttin' up my heart, makin' ashes of my soul."

All of, "Dont Leave Your Mark On Me"

...and a thousand angry demons! up and took flight!

You know you're right! I love the 2 I kept from your quote.

Also love:

"I wanna take you in the back seat now and slowly drive you home" from DIST

Think there are some terrific lines in 'Couldn't Have Said It Better'

'Tonight the conversation takes the fall
Just love me like you love nobody else'

'Well I struggle with words but they put up a fight
You can keep your mouth shut,
because it doesn't really matter tonight'

how about = radios playing my favourite song, gonna make me feel like im so much in love, gotta connect, you know i gotta move, running out of town, you gotta get me in the groove.

or = just a packer in a butchers shop in fifth and maine,
but something about me drives the girls insane,
the boss says i must be doing something something right,
cause they ve been jamming the parking lot night after night

2 not so well known non steinman songs. but meat sings em so well.

Take a Number & Revolutions Per Minute?

I don't like the first one, but RPM is really addictive
