a fishie needs
some room to roam
he can't abide
a fishtank home

he needs a big
field of view
swim away, swim away
fishie pie

hope you find your
sweet far horizon

a fishie needs
some room to roam

he has to go
where nature calls
he meditates
to pass through walls

and in the air
he learns to fly
fly away, fly away
fishie pie

hope you find your
sweet far horizon

a fishie needs
some room to roam

a sketch of the melody

I have a vote
I haz a flavor
I have a note
a semi-quaver

I have a mushroom
in my pocket
I have a plug
without a socket

I'll plug it in
I'll blow it out
I'll make the wide
receivers shout

a marigold
coughed up by time
is feeling bold
and wants to climb

but all the speeches
all the rants
are just a windy
buncha pants

but isn't it sublime?
yeah, isn't it sublime?
the peace behind the veil of time

I have no clue
I have no clout
I'm staying in
I'm turning out

I'm tuning in
but there's no dial
the One somehow
is all the while

the turtle doves
the fishie flies
the cat beneath
the futon spies

the echoes in
the residue
are muttering
in shades of blue

the ghost who walks
the ghost who waits
the ghost who eats
the library paste

these residents
of now and then
these words appear
without a pen

but in a little while it seems
they'll have a little rest, and dreams

[tbh, I'd like to see some lyrics from other peeps]

[or the lyrics will get progressively worse!!! ]

gone, gone
into the mandibles of time
sniff my undies
they're sublime

gone, gone
into the croutons of desire
douse my chinos
they're on fire

yeah!

douse my chinos
they're on fire

keep it up kevin, you're doing fine!

I posted this last yesr, but here it is again

Here are some lyrics I wrote inspired by David Cronenbergs classic film

Brundlefly Brundlefly
mess with the fly and you will die
Brundlefly Brundlefly
when he eats its time to die

He's not a creature made by God
he was born in an atomic pod
atoms transported through the sky
genetic fusion of man and fly

He rules the rooftops by the light of the moon
he doesn't eat with a fork or spoon
200 pounds and six foot tall
brundle can climb any ceiling or wall

Brundlefly Brundlefly
mess with the fly and you will die
Brundlefly Brundlefly
be very afraid of the Brundlefly

because of his condition he can no longer chew
so he covers his doughnuts in acidic spew
his bits dropping off all over the place
soon brundlefly will have no face

he vomits up acid from his insect maw
he sucks up the slop and then he sucks some more
his inhuman strength it overpowers you
he turns your flesh into his stew

Brundlefly Brundlefly
mutant monster part man part fly
Brundlefly Brundlefly
be very afraid of the Brundlefly


No tou can tell me to buzz off

diving bell, diving bell
where have you descended to?
gone beyond the thetas
he's beta-testing zetas now

gamma-land, gamma-land
mystics hide in Samarkand
dotting their iotas
fulfilling secret quotas

I just learned
that brains are full of sodium
Zombies note
that brains are not so good for you

I just turned
to face the music
took it head-on
it was strong
but it seemed to blow from Babylon

diving bell, diving bell
where have you descended to?
what is that you say?
wavicles will have their way

diving bell, diving bell
when will you return to us?
what is that you say?
Fourier will save the day

what is that you say
what is that you say


a cappella

You call that crooning? I call it residue.

(somehow I messed up my "hao nao" account -- oh, well)

these are my first lyrics ive created; as im more of a composer; but it was a try;; [[You were once my motivation; my only inspiration and i just cant see why;; You..made me believe yu were mine after so much time; but yu were telling me lies;and as much as i tried to make these feelings subside; you made me stay for the ride;; i just thought we were strong; being together so long; but i guess i was wrong.]] sighs;; sad attempt lol

I must've posted this in Off-Topic the first time around, in response to a video of a clever bird

Betty Blackbird said
she would not change
the diapers on
the human child

"it's more than I can do
you see I have no arms
but let me have a think
bye and bye"

but Betty would not change
the human child

she went out to her shed
and built a nanny-bot
with scraps that she had found
in the wild

she painted it a mask
and set it to the task
but Betty did not change
the human child

oh no, Betty did not change
the human child

mmmmm----ok---here goes nothing--

I be sitting here all alone
in my little abalone
wonder, o wonder
how I got here

I be sitting here with others
o, why bother
going through the bother
of the abalone shell

I be sitting in a bar
while Jane is in the car
doing things with jars
while I'm drinkin' beer

Great idea, this lyrics sharing. So, if I find lyrics I would like to use for my songs I only have to write to the writer? This is also a good idea for a website

The Day Before Yesterday

The day before yesterday, all my troubles had seemed so far away.
But yesterday it looked as though they were here to stay.
Oh, I believed in the day before yesterday.

Suddenly yesterday,
I was not half the man I had previously been,
There was a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, the day before yesterday had come suddenly.

Why she'd had to go
I didn't know she hadn't said.
I'd said something wrong,
Then I longed for the day before yesterday.

The day before yesterday, love had been such an easy game to play.
Then I needed a place to hide away.
Oh, I believed in the day before yesterday.
