El Dorko's Favorite Lyrics vol. 1
"Pale, pubescent beasts roam through the streets
and coffee shops.
Their prey gather in herds of stiff knee-length skirts
and wide-ankle socks.
But while they search for a mate, my type hybernate
In bedrooms above,
composing their songs of love."
Ben Folds (great)
"Summer is always winter with you..."
Pinback (I just like the meaning of that)
"You could slit my throat
and with my one last gasping breath
I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt."
Taking Back Sunday (an obvious choice)
"I traced the path the motorcade... took back in '63.
Past the grassy knoll... and the book depository.
They put in a museum... where they say the shots were fired.
It's closed today but I don't mind... I'm already getting tired.
There's photographs and headlines... and diagrams of the street.
They're showing the Zapruder film... it's always on repeat.
Last night I dreamt I was the bullet... from frame 313.
The one that scattered his head... around the limouzine.
I was right there for his final thoughts... of Jon Jon and Jackie.
My oh my Big D."
by Bishop Allen (Cool perspective, great imagery)
"These are the words you wish you wrote down. this is the way you wish your voice sounds, handsome and smart. oh my tongue's the only muscle on my body that works harder than my heart."
Brand New (The best writers I know of, in my opinion)
"I know a girl,
she put the color inside of my world.
She's just like a maze
where all of the walls all continually changed.
And I've done all I can
to stand on her steps with my heart in my hands.
Now I'm starting to see,
maybe it's got nothing to do with me.
Fathers be good to your daughters.
Daughters will love like you do.
Girls become lovers, who turn into mothers,
so mothers, be good to your daughters too."
John Mayer (shows the sweetness, and innocence that is the best in women)
and coffee shops.
Their prey gather in herds of stiff knee-length skirts
and wide-ankle socks.
But while they search for a mate, my type hybernate
In bedrooms above,
composing their songs of love."
