Or a lower class of music if you can't handle any depth. Whats this, Poorly written or gifted lyricist? You wired me awake And hit me with a hand of broken nails You tied my lead and pulled my chain To watch my blood begin to boil But Im gonna break Im gonna break my Im gonna break my rusty cage and run Too cold to start a fire Im burning diesel burning dinosaur bones Ill take the river down to still water And ride a pack of dogs Im gonna break Im gonna break my Im gonna break my rusty cage and run Hits like a phillips head Into my brain Its gonna be too dark To sleep again Cutting my teeth on bars And rusty chains, Im gonna break my Rusty cage and run When the forest burns Along the road Like gods eyes In my headlights When the dogs are looking For their bones And its raining icepicks On your steel shore Im gonna break Im gonna break my Im gonna break my rusty cage and run	Metla (12)

726141	2008-12-06 08:47:00	Does it? I wasn't suggesting it to be good or bad, Just using it as part of my question. For some I'm sure it does, I personally have no idea how you would compare, Must be above my station. Anyhow, Lyrics are only a tiny (though important) component, The emotion,power, and scenery is provided by the delivery, and the tale is told by the music. The song the above lyrics are lifted from is a stunning and powerful piece. Edit-More fool me, Your nominated persons don't appear to have ever written a lyric.	Metla (12)

726143	2008-12-06 19:22:00	You want some great lyrics? This is a home cover version of Tom Lehrer's song "The Irish Ballad" Tom Lehrer must be around 80 or so by now. We used to sit around in the coffee bars and listen to his banned records in the late '50s. His version was far, far better than this guy. He sounded like a blunt file on stainless steel.

726144	2008-12-06 19:33:00	Then, of course, there was the Boy Scouts Marching song "Be Prepared" . . . . You can tell how old it is bit the reference to "reefers" Be prepared! That''s the Boy Scout''s marching song, Be prepared! As through life you march along . Be prepared to hold your liquor pretty well, Don''t write naughty words on walls if you can''t spell . Be prepared! To hide that pack of cigarettes, Don''t make book if you cannot cover bets . Keep those reefers hidden where you''re sure That they will not be found And be careful not to smoke them When the scoutmaster''s around For he only will insist that it be shared . Be prepared! Be prepared! That''s the Boy Scouts'' solemn creed, Be prepared! And be clean in word and deed . Don''t solicit for your sister, that''s not nice, Unless you get a good percentage of her price . Be prepared! And be careful not to do Your good deeds when there''s no one watching you . If you''re looking for adventure of a new and different kind, And you come across a Girl Scout who is similarly inclined, Don''t be nervous, don''t be flustered, don''t be scared . Be prepared!
