songs with cool stories or meanings?
 

any songs you like with a cool story or meaning behind it?

idea popped into my head after listening to irene wilde by ian hunter.


When I was just sixteen - I stood waiting for a dream -
at Barker Street bus station every night
When I tried to get it on - she just looked at me with scorn - my courage
turned to dust and I took flight

For those looks they seemed to say
You ain't nuthin' - Go away
You're just a face in the crowd so I went home and I vowed
I'm gonna be somebody - someday

Her name was Irene Wilde - Oh such beauty for a child
When she started dating boys - I nearly died
For I could not barely stand to see someone hold her hand
I felt I had to crawl away and hide
In my mother's living room I composed so many tunes
All the same - just a frame - for her name, and just to say
Gonna be somebody - someday

Wild as your name I soon left that country town
I been around, seen some fame, seen some ups and seen some downs
Smile through your shock when you hear your name aloud
It's that face in the crowd - didn't dig it - much too proud...

When I was just sixteen I stood waiting for a dream
A Barker Street bus station non affair
At the time it seemed so sad, but it did not turn out bad
If you hadn't messed me up I'd still be there
And I think most folks agree, a little put-down makes them see
They ain't no chain - just a link and that's why you made me think
Gonna be somebody - be somebody - be somebody - someday

i like that garth brooks one where he sees this girl from school years later and goes through everything to be with this girl and in the end heis devastated that she wouldnt go out with him and then it turns out that in the last verse hes glad that he didnt meet her cos he getsmarried and has kids with someone else instead of the girl.

Me and My monkey - Robbie Williams :p

I love it !!!!

On a mexican music ! that's great !!!!

i like the knebworth version its cool lol

I like Badges, Posters, Stickers and T-Shirts by Dire Straits. It's pretty much a joke song that is on an LP called Extended DancEPlay, and unless you're pretty big on the Straits then you probably won't have heard it. It's about a guy who has a very young mental age, and loves his rock music. The lyrics are pretty funny, but they sound even funier the way they are sung.

'tornadoes' by the Drive By Truckers

does anyone here know who the Drive By Truckers are?

Unanswered Prayers? I didn't peg you as a country fan.

yeh thats the one lol

yeh garth brooks is a legend

When Eminem came out with the Marshal Mather's LP, this song stuck out from the get go. It's about a severely obsessed fan named "Stan" who is going crazy because the celebrity named Slim Shady (Eminem's "Alter Ego")hasn't written the fan back. It's a cool story, but very vulgar.

Eminem - Stan

CHORUS:
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed
at all
the morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see
at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture
on my wall
it reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

My tea's gone cold,I'm wondering why I got out of bed
at all
the morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see
at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture
on my wall
it reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

VERSE 1:

Dear Slim, I wrote you but you still ain't callin'
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the
bottom
I sent two letters back in autumn
You must not have got 'em
It probably was a problem at the post office or
somethin'

Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot
'em
But anyways, **** it, what's been up man, how's your
daughter?
My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm out to be a father
If I have a daughter, guess what I'm-a call her? I'm-a
name her Bonnie.

I read about your uncle Ronnie too, I'm sorry
I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't
want him.
I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your
biggest fan.
I even got the underground shit that you did with
Scam.

I got a room full of your posters and your pictures,
man.
I like the shit you did with Ruckus too, that shit was
fat.
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back, just to
chat
Truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan.


CHORUS


VERSE 2:

Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you
have the chance.
I ain't mad, I just think it's ****ed up you don't
answer fans.
If you didn't want to talk to me outside your concert
You didn't have to
but you could have signed an autograph for Matthew.
That's my little brother, man. He's only 6 years old.
We waited in the blistering cold for you for 4 hours
and ya just said no.
That's pretty shitty man, you're like his ****in' idol
He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more
than I do.

I ain't that mad, but I just don't like bein' lied to.
Remember when we met in Denver, you said if I write
you
You would write back. See, I'm just like you in a way.
I never knew my father neither.
He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her.

I can relate to what you're sayin' in your songs.
So when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em
on.
Cause I don't really got shit else, so that shit helps
when I'm depressed.
I even got a tattoo with your name across the chest.

Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds.
It's like adrenaline. The Pain is such a sudden rush
for me.
See, everything you say is real, and I respect you
'cause you tell it.
My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about you 24/7.
But she don't know you like I know you, Slim, no one
does.
She don't know what it was like for people like us
growing up.
You've gotta call me man. I'll be the biggest fan
you'll ever lose.
Sincerely yours, Stan. PS: We should be together too.


CHORUS


VERSE 3:

Dear Mr. "I'm too good to call or write my fans"
This'll be the last package I ever send your ass.
It's been six months and still no word. I don't
deserve it?
I know you got my last two letters, I wrote the
addresses on 'em perfect.

So this is my cassette I'm sending you. I hope you
hear it.
I'm in the car right now. I'm doing 90 on the freeway.
Hey Slim, "I drank a fifth of vodka, ya dare me to
drive?"
You know that song by Phil Collins from "The Air In
The Night"?
About that guy who could have saved that other guy
from drowning?
But didn't? Then Phil saw it all then at his show he
found him?
That's kinda how this is. You could have rescued me
from drowning.
Now it's too late. I'm on a thousand downers now, I'm
drowsy.

And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call.
I hope you know I ripped all o' your pictures off the
wall.
I love you Slim, we could have been together. Think
about it.
You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you
dream about it.
And when you dream, I hope you can't sleep and you
scream about it.
I hope your conscious eats at you and you can't
breathe without me.
See Slim, {screaming} shut up bitch, I'm trying to
talk
Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screaming in the trunk.
But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see
I ain't like you.
'Cause if she suffocates, she'll suffer more, and then
she'll die too.
Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now.
Oh shit, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this shit
out?

{screeching tires, crashing sounds, car splashes into
the water}


CHORUS

VERSE 4:

Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner, but I've just
been busy.
You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along
is she?
Look, I'm really flattered you would call your
daughter that.
And here's an autograph for your brother: I wrote it
on your Starter cap.

I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must have
missed you.
Don't think I did that shit intentionally, just to
diss you.
And what's this shit you said about you like to cut
your wrists too?
I say that shit just clownin' dawg, c'mon, how ****ed
up is you?
You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some
counselin'
To help your ass from bouncin' off the walls when you
get down some.

And what's this shit about us meant to be together?
That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each
other.
I really think you and your girlfriend need each
other.
Or maybe you just need to treat her better.
I hope you get to read this letter.
I just hope it reaches you in time.
Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'd be doin'
just fine
If you'd relax a little. I'm glad that I inspire you,
but Stan
Why are you so mad? Try to understand that I do want
you as a fan.
I just don't want you to do some crazy shit.
I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago
that made me sick.
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
And had his girlfriend in the trunk and she was
pregnant with his kid
And in the car they found a tape but it didn't say who
it was to
Come to think about it...his name was...it was you.
DAMN!





Ryan

hey ryan evryone knows the song Stan, did you really have to write out all the lyrics? lol

So just because maybe you and I know the song Stan, everyone else knows it too???? Some people don't listen to Eminem or haven't heard the song. By the way, I wouldn't waste my time "typing" the lyrics, it's called copy and paste.

Ryan

There are some amzing songs that tell stories (right side of wrong not beingone of them!) Spread Your Wings, Nan's Song and Me And My Monkey by Robbie Williams are all great, but then again, a lot of you are American and Robbie Williams obviously wasn't good enough to cut it over there, neither were Oasis really (which reminds me Supersonic is another great one), yet Coldplay were?
Another great song that tells a story is, It Was A Very Good year by frank Sinatra

Well Ryan I beg to differ, unless you've been living under a rock for the past 5/6 years you will know who Eminem is and you will know the song Stan as it's probably his most famous song. ooo and congratulations you know how to copy and paste, im impressed.

I didn't say people weren't going to know who Eminem was... And for the record, Stan wasn't his biggest hit. Lose Yourself came out in 2003 and was said to be the best song he's ever recorded and written and based on the charts in which that song topped, I'd agree completely. By the way, you are the one that made the dumb comment.. "Did you really have to write out all those lyrics?".

Ryan

Wow I apoligise, please forgive me! Eat shit you redneck prick! For a start I don't give a shit if lose yourself was bigger or not, Stan is his most famous, ok? Secondly Eminem blows ass, and it's only assholes like YOU who only listen to what MTV tells them to that listen to the prick. Now go change your trucker cap and knock up your wife/beat her again and leave me in peace

Stan wasn't even his most famous song... Lose Yourself blew that out of the water. Talk about being on their period... Talk about attacking someone. All of that is just uncalled for. If Eminem blows ass then why do you care??? You were trying to justify yourself and it didn't work. Admit it... You you made a dumb comment. I'm not going to get down on your level and call you a piece of eurotrash or anything like that. That would be acting like a ten year old. Next time, don't say something completely stupid. By the way I'm not married, and just because I'm from the USA doesn't mean I'm a redneck. Grow up.

Ryan

Listen newbie, if you think you can come here and start badmouthing people like that, you're in the wrong place.

And FYI, you're wrong. Stan might be the on eYOU know best, but then again, you just said you didn't care for the guy, so how would you know anything?

Now, either stop that infatile rampage your on or crawl under a rock and die. Your choice.

Ice

i know which i would choose

I was just listening to this song as I read the thread. It's 'Leatherman' by Pearl Jam. Pretty cool song, easy to follow the lyrics. Vedder's inspiration came from this dude - http://members.skyweb.net/~channy/leatherman.html

Pearl Jam - Leatherman

I heard about a man to whom I may be related, he's leatherman.
Died a long time ago in the 1880s...leatherman, leatherman.
Covered with leather, but it wasn’t tight.
Underneath the moon in the woods at night...

Makin' the rounds ten miles a day,
Once a month they'd spot him, here's what they'd say...
"Here he comes, he's a man of the land.
He's leatherman. Smile on his face, an axe in his pack.
He's leatherman."

Comes out of the caves once a day to be fed.
Wasn't known to say but, "Thanks for the bread."

So modern day I walk my way, my jacket faded,
Just like a man of leather whom I may be related.

Rolled a cigarette, for which he asked for a light,
Appeared to be an animal, yet so polite.

Makin' the rounds ten miles a day.
Once a month they'd spot him and here's what they'd say...
"Here he comes, he's a man of the land, he's leatherman.
Smile on his face, an axe in his hand.
He's leatherman."

Shake his hand he's leatherman.
Bake some bread he's leatherman.
Shame he's dead. I saw his bed,
It's all that's left of leatherman.

Give me some skin, leatherman.

Blow me iceman, and I actually have a few Eminem albums so therefore i think that gives me the right to criticise. You called me newbie? What a shit word, what the hell does it mean anyway? Heres a hint, stop watching Scrubs Bambi. And "Iceman"? lol what the **** is that about? You watchin' a bit too much Top Gun?

ps. Extract Ryan's cock from your mouth

So you're one of those assholes that listen to what MTV tells them, newbie?

No it doesn't, when you don't know anything.

Look it up, newbie. You're the worst case of newbieness I've seeen in a while. And I've seen quite a few. I could almost say you're the newbie of all newbies.

Learn to type, imbecile.

Nope. If you weren't such a newbie, you'd know. But seeing as you are a newbie and an asshole, I'm pretty sure you'll never find out.

But "captaincrash1986"? Not only is it one of the lamest songs bu the band, you've also managed to miss the capital letters, you also tell us exactly how old of an baby you are. Go back to your mommy, I'm sure she has anice bottle to feed you with. Or are you still sucking tit?

Sorry, not everyone here is gay like you. Maybe you'd feel more comfortable somewhere else.

Ice

here captain crash try this site www.cocksuckers.com neil recomended it

Well back on topic after that little episode.

On Def Leppard's Slang album the song Deliver Me is about a guy on death row never knew that till a while back and looking at the lyrics they fit perfect.

Deliver Me Lyrics

newbie, such a ****ing typical yank word, so to be honest I couldn't care what it means. And secondly I'm well aware theres no capitals in my name, and that has to be the gayest thing you could have said, "ooo no capitals" lol **** YOU.
www.cocksuckers.com, hahaha ooo that was goooood! You're so fresh! Don'tchange the way you are, seriosly, fresh, really good, in fact, most orginal I think i've ever heard. EAT SHIT.
Iceman you are so ****ing kool, really, I mean that, using words like newbie, woooo, and with a name like "ICEMAN" u must pull all the ladies. They really must want to go back to your parents basement. Dipshit.
And for the record Captain Chrash (ooo look capitals) happens to be one of their best, and you're opinion doesn't count shitcock.

1,345,789 people think Icemans opinion doesn't count

See what I mean

Now **** off you bore me and stop firing off that shit-cannon you call a mouth

LOL, me a yank?

Newbie= Is a pathetic piece of shit like you who comes on a messageboard, thinks he can do and say whatever he wants, and is shocked when people actually confront him.

Like I said, most of us are not gay, so maybe you'd feel more at home on some other messageboards. I'm sure there are ones that concentrate on cocksucking.

I'm pretty sure I have more "ladies" than you'll ever get. After all, it seem too hard for you to even type proper English.

I wouldn't know about my parents house, but I'm sure they don't have a basement.

"I am opinion"? Before you try to insult people, you should learn to type. It's too easy to make fun of idiots, who can't even spell.

I see that you're officially losing it.

Oh no, I'm just getting started. Pathetic newbies like you deserve all the shit you can handle and then some.

Like I said, you have two choices, start acting like a human or get the **** out. I'm not going anywhere.

Ice

This guy has a serious case of Tourettes Syndrome. Look at his last ****ing post!

Ryan

Man I hate cocksuckers like you, computor geeks, "ooo look he made a typo, lets make fun of that." I'd say that when you do consider the amount of mistakes i make then it would be about 1% (approx.) of what I write.
Secondly, this is boring me, because i'm sitting in Belfast, and you're sitting in some shithole in God knows where, so we're never going to meet in order for me to kick your ass and make a believer out of you, nothing to special, just a quick crack to the jaw should do it.

ps. Yea, you must me knee deep in pussy, I can't believe I underestimated you

pps. I rock

5 errors in that paragraph alone. Your "error percentage" is a lot more than 1%. And I don't give a damn about who you hat, you still haven't got the right to come here and badmouth everybody. So either start acting like a decent human, or get the **** out of here.

:D :D :D

You kick _my_ ass? Yes, I'm sure you would try. But you wouldn't for long. I remeber that phase when I was a kid like you when you think you could beat anyone up. Most people grow out of it, you still seem to have the Oedipus complex on. Normal people go through it at around 5 years old.

Well, call it what you wish, but I'm not going to prove myself to you. I know how many women I've had, and I'm pretty sure about your amount. Zero. Otherwise you'd be a lot mellower. I suggest you go jack off and leave us alone. Would do everyone good.

LOL!

In your dreams. Have you ever wondered why no one else ever answers you? BEcause your a pathetic loser, that's why. I find you very amusing, which is why I keep this up. It's funny to see you sink to a new low with every post you make.

Ice

tag me i wanna join in calling the newbie cock sucker
