Givin' Up by The Darkness

As an "amateur" or one who cannot appreciate the complexities of playing music and especially guitar, im not sure how valid it is, but that riff is one of the best ive ever heard. Every time the song comes up on random, i end up replaying that part about 5 times

 

[$teauA]

What about Yellow Submarine or Paperback Writer by The Beatles, do those songs have any meaning or were they just incredibly high when they wrote them making them pointless.

I do the same thing.

It's such a good song, but only today did I take the time to look up the lyrics and figure out what it's really about.

I will give a cookie to anyone who can tell me what the hell this song is about:

Black Shuck by The Darkness

In a town in the east
The parishioners were visited upon
By a curious beast
And his eyes numbered but one and shone like the sun
And a glance beckoned the immediate loss
Of a cherished one
It was the coming of the

(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) That dog don't give a fúck
Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) That dog don't give a fúck

Flames licked round the sacred spire
And the congregation's last line of defence
Was engulfed in fire
As the flaming priest stepped into the firing line
On the business end of a beam of despair
God, he took his own life
During the coming of the

(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) That dog don't give a fúck
Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) That dog don't give a fúck

A Shifty*bus of blue light surrounds a crimson paw
As he takes another fatal swipe
At the Blytheburgh Church Door

(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) That dog don't give a fúck
Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) That dog don't give a fúck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) That dog don't give a fúck
Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) That dog don't give a fúck

Woof!

nearly all songs by Alexisonfire... but they still kick ass

Pulmonary Archery:
Let's go!
It's never too late to be early
Or try and maintain
Some scrap of integrity and certainty
I guess.

(My fingers)
Won't apologize
(Are blistered and bleeding)
And 1977...
Was a long time
(Was a long time)
Time ago
(Time ago)
I don't care.

I don't care how things
Were and I won't
Apologize.
I won't apologize.
**** you.

And the alamo penetrated
And there is little hope
For the white man so
Hop on your rainbow
And ride...

(My fingers)
So I'll ride it into
(Are blistered and bleeding)
And ride into oblivion
For all I care
(There's no longer)
You could be early
(Discomfort)
Or late
(That you brought)
Whatever!

.44 Calibre Love Letter:
Sifting through weathered photo albums
(Does it make a difference?)
Looking for gloriously aged polaroids
(This is the way it is)
(You think it really would make a difference? Would I hang on the beach in perfect black and hide?)
Of places you've never been.
(I broke through this hollow shell that once held me so tight I couldn't breathe)
A place to accept you don't exist
(Come with me, jump off the edge)

"Smile for the camera sweetheart. I really wanna immortalize the moment."
Just remember the first step in forgetting
Is destroying all the evidence.
With friends like you,
Who needs subtext?
Sub. Text. Sub. Text.

This is a .44 caliber love letter straight from my heart.

With a gun, make your shot.
Let's hope for better ****.
(Straight {straight!} from {from!} my {my!} heart {heart!})
That reason for separation.
(Straight {straight!} from {from!} my {my!} heart {heart!})
Straight from... my... heart.
Christened by your bullet.
I'm losing patience.
Well I guess...
It's my own fault.

Don't remember.
Don't remember.
Don't... remember.
Don't!


maybe they have some deeper inner meaning that I'm not aware of

I do the same thing.

It's such a good song, but only today did I take the time to look up the lyrics and figure out what it's really about.

Heh, glad to know im not the only one. Not such a huge fan of "Black Shuck" (it still rocks though) but my other Darkness Kryptonite is "Growing on me"

Its nice to see at least one "no frills", all-substance band out there that has made the bigtime. I think it speaks volumes when my musically gifted friends (a couple of guitar majors) love them as much as anyone.


Edit: VB already posted this. I was just too fvcking dumb to see it. But its helpful anyway, in case someone missed it:

http://www.songmeanings.net

(what i originally had) This site has the lyrics of songs, then a lil message thread after each one. Sometimes its just people there to talk sh*t on the band or people who contribute things like "OMG BBQ LOL, THIS SONG IS AWSOME" but hey, with 130,000 people contributing on there, one of two have gotta know something I suppose. Anyway, im a lil too lazy at the moment to answer queries already on here, but i hope this helps

I will give a cookie to anyone who can tell me what the hell this song is about:

If i'm not mistaken Black Shuck is about a local legend where The Darkness are from (Lowestoft?).

ACDC - Big Balls

I'm [ever | rather] upper class high society
God's gift to ballroom notoriety
I always fill my ballroom
The event is never small
The social pages say I've got
The biggest balls of all

CHORUS:
I've got big balls
I've got big balls
And they're such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he's got big balls
And she's got big balls
But we've got the biggest balls of them all

And my balls are always bouncing
My ballroom always full
And everybody cums and cums again
If your name is on the guest list
No one can take you higher
Everybody says I've got
Great balls of fire

CHORUS

Some balls are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure
They're the balls that I like best
My balls are always bouncing
To the left and to the right
It's my belief that my big balls
Should be held every night

CHORUS

And I'm just itching to tell you about them
Oh we had such wonderful fun
Seafood cocktail, crabs, crayfish...

Ball sucker
