Giving Reason: Appropriating Rhyme

Have you ever felt impending doom?
Have you ever considered what “will be dead soon”… ?

Hag…
You dirty switch,
You’re on again

…like a woman,
Hag

just like a woman
You’re on again

The Flaming Lips – The Gash (“Battle Hymn for the Wounded Mathematician”)

Is that gash in your leg
Really why you have stopped?
‘Cause I’ve noticed all the others
Though they’re gashed, they’re still going
‘Cause I feel like the real reason
That you’re quitting, that you’re admitting
That you’ve lost all the will to battle on

Will the fight for our sanity
Be the fight of our lives?
Now that we’ve lost all the reasons
That we thought that we had

Still the battle that we’re in
Rages on till the end

Tubeway Army – You Are In My Vision

The wreckage of a hero
lies broken in a corner
and everyone pretends
they’d like to live that way

Clutch – Careful with that Mic…

Both you and I know the past ten years have been rather intense
I’m ashamed to admit I’ve been fooled by the seductions of violence
People walking around with ugly auras
At times I’m even tempted to seek the advice of Dr. Laura
But I ignore her

Dig myself now…

when i’d chill and settle down

why can’t she be a little straight?

i’m dumb she’s a lesbian
i thought i had found the one

Don’t deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death’s release

I’m not a prophet or a stone age man
Just a mortal with the potential of a superman
I’m living on
I’m tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien
Can’t take my eyes from the great salvation
Of bullshit faith
If I don’t explain what you ought to know
You can tell me all about it
On the next Bardo
I’m sinking in the quicksand of my thought
And I ain’t got the power anymore
…

Nirvana (Kurt Cobain) – Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle

Doctor:
It’s so soothing

Doctor (to self):
I know that you’ll sue me

Patient (to self):
It’s starting to sound the same

Nurse:
[ __ ___ __ ] witness, we hope you’re still with us
Nurse, aside: see if they float or drown

Doctor:
My favoruite patient!

Patient (to self):
A display of patience, ’cause he’s got a pill to sell.

Narrator:
She come back: he’s fired. Burned all the liars†. Leave a blanket of ash on the ground.

† probably medical records, in general. perhaps something more as in logs of experimental, rehabilitative pharmaceuticals and the test subjects, as Buprenex (UK) in context of this lyric [later approved as Subutex / Suboxone, USA] for treatment of opiate dependency. (i.e. I’ve seen a Medical Center be burned to the ground; witnessed a similar, circumstantial destruction.)
(e.g. this is the rigmarole, and behaviour of doctors in the maintenance shtick. )

Marcy Playground – Pigeon Farm

If you could see in my eyes
I’ll show you darling, surprise
There is a place
There is a fortune
and
I want to share it with my friends.

Modest Mouse – Polar Opposites

Polar opposites don’t push away
It’s the same on the weekends
as the rest of the days
And I know I should go
but I will probably stay
And that’s all you can do
about some things

I’m trying,
im trying
to drink away the part of the day
That I cannot sleep away…

Foo Fighters (Dave Grohl) – Staked Actors

…
You look so messy when you dress up in dreams.
One more for hire, a wonderful liar,
I think it’s time that I should come clean.

Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters,
Line up the bastards all I want is the truth.
…

Ian Hunter (and Mick Ronson) – Boy

…

Its the Empire State buffoons
Oh you know the story well

Your street’s alive with ghosts
But a friend says don’t look back

Boy,
play the pipes till they’re old and worn

4 Non Blondes – Drifting

…
Dropped another pill just to find me
Reached for my hand
but it was already there

Can’t follow me
You won’t expect the illusion you’ll see
“It’s my imagination”
…
“You’ll fell a little better…”
…
Dropped another pill just to kill me..

Kate Bush – Wuthering Heights

Out On the wily, windy moors
We’d roll and fall in green.
You had a temper like my jealousy;
Too hot, too greedy.

How could you leave me
When I needed to
Possess you?

…It’s me…I’ve come home
I’m so cold.
Let me into your window…

…It’s me…I’ve come home…

Lo Fidelity Allstars – Battleflag

Your construction
Smells of corruption

Tell me is it time to get down?

I’m blown to the maximum
…

Come on baby, tell me!
Yes, we aim to please.

Marcy Playground – Vampires Of New York

:aside, not a lyric; a note: anyM.P. is fine with me, ususally, however I present particularly…

Come see the vampires of New York
Come lose your mind in Central Park
But don’t leave your soul behind
Come take in 8th street after dark
Such peculiar people you’ll remark
You might even see a murder

And all the whores on Bleecker Street
They wear the blissful grin
Caused by the drugs they take
To relieve them of their sins

And “oh lord I think she’s dying”
I heard somebody say
I think she’s dying
And “oh oh lord I think she’s dying”

Or maybe she’s already dead
And maybe she’s gone to Mars
Maybe we could even write
Her epitaph in the stars
It’d say “If you go away from here…
If you go a million miles…”
Come down town

Third Eye Blind – Losing A Whole Year

I remember you and me used to spend
the whole damned day in bed

Lying in your room we’d lay like dogs
The phone would ring like a joke that’s left unsaid

Your voice sounds like money and your face is cute
But your daddy left you with no love
You touch everything with a velvet glove and
Now you want to try a life of sin
You want to be down with the down and in

Always copping my truths
I kind of get the feeling like I’m being used

And now I realize you never heard
One goddamned thing I ever said

Tripping Daisy – High

Step on God
He can take it man
He’s the one
I can look through when I’m down
He’s the only for me when I’m High
He’s the only one for when I die
Well, I can’t forgive him for every word he said
Well, I’m standing at the hill…

Step on the earth
It can give a man
It’s the only the one for me when I die
Give it all
In the early morning
Stick and stones they cry for me
when I’m high
Well I can’t remember every word he said
When I’m standing here just looking through the air
And I can’t forget the times they’ve gone away

The Flaming Lips – The Spiderbite Song
