Rainy Dawg Radio's Favorite Lyrics Ever

These are, to our best knowledge, our favorite lyrics ever.

Parks

“Stuck Inside of Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again” - Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde

“Grandpa died last week and now he’s buried in the rocks. But everybody still talks about how badly they were shocked. But me, I expected it to happen, I knew he’d lost control. When I built a speed fire on Main Street and shot it full of holes.”

Bob Dylan.

“Ballad of the Last Five Years”- The Guess Who - Road Food

“So step right up and put your music where your mouth is.”

Just an all around amazing line. Also The Guess Who is definitely one of the top bands out of Canada. And I do not take constructive criticism.

“Up the Junction” - Squeeze - Cool for Cats

“I never thought it would happen between me and the girl from Clapham.”

The opening line of “Up the Junction” sets up one of my top ten favorite narrative songs of all time. Also see “A Quick One While He’s Away” by The Who, which is another one of the best narrative pieces, but the lyrics don’t stick to the inside of your brain quite like Squeeze.

“Everyday I Write the Book” - Elvis Costello -Punch the Clock

“Even in a perfect world where everyone was equal, I’d still own the film rights and be working on the sequel.”

There’s so many Costello lyrics I could have put here, but “Everyday I Write the Book” is cute, clever and one of the few not-depressing songs he’s written.

“What’s the Ugliest Part of Your Body” - The Mothers of Invention - We’re Only in it For the Money

“What’s the ugliest part of your body? Some say your nose. Some say your toes. But I think it’s your mind.”

What’s a song written by Zappa without some cynicism? Here he’s criticizing societal and generational ignorance, as per usual. In short, some people are real stupid.

“Andy’s Chest” - The Velvet Underground - VU

“And just like in a movie, her hands became her feet. Her belly button became her mouth which meant she tasted what she’d speak.”

Thank you Lou Reed, you have outdone yourself.

DJ eyelyds

In no particular order…and also as of right now because everything I like is tinged by extreme recency bias.

“Web in Front” Archers of Loaf Icky Mettle

“Stuck a pin in your backbone/ Spoke it down from there/ All I ever wanted was to be your spine”

As the opening lyrics of this two-minute song cut into the mix before any of the instrumentals get a chance, the catchy tone of lead singer/guitarist Eric Bachmann’s songwriting is apparent. His performance on both guitar and vocals has this nervous, sporadic energy that feels like it’s just barely being reigned in lends itself nicely to the subject matter of the song. For me, I read it as an obsessive almost neurotic love song. Bachmann wants so desperately to support this person that he would be happy physically being a part of them; to be their spine. More than happy actually, it’s all he ever wanted

“Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales (Live at O2 Forum Kentish Town, London, England) Car Seat Headrest Commit Yourself Completely”

“And if you can’t find your friends, you can leave without them/ And if you run out of drugs, you can sleep without them/ And if you want to go home, you can call a taxi/ And if you don’t wanna talk, you can sit in the backseat/ Please! Please”

In this live rendition of “Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales” off the 2019 live album Commit Yourself Completely Will Toledo adds this outro/verse. It connects to the themes throughout the song of well… not driving drunk. But it has a more bittersweet tone than a PSA ever could, especially in the context of the entire album of Teens of Denial, especially considering the song “Drugs With Friends.” Toledo is great at painting drug use as almost a marker of innocence and notes the isolation that can come from overuse. The opening line of the added outro, “And if you can’t find your friends, you can leave without” has a sort of tongue-in-cheek tone, in the sense that it is genuine advice to get home safe, but also is a somewhat childish way of exiting the situation. Toledo knows that he’s not a saint, nor an authority. He’s just made the same mistakes and is trying to make sure you don’t do the same. Please don’t do the same.

“Anthems For A Seventeen Year-Old Girl” Broken Social Scene You Forgot It In People

“Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me”

Sung by Metric’s Emily Haines, this whole song makes heavy use of repetition, with every lyric being said at least four times. This line is repeated the most and is also my personal favorite of the song. You can read it in so many different ways. Initially, I read it as being said to a lover, and hoping that they are constantly thinking about her. But the more interesting reading (and probably the more accurate one when considering the title) is a message to herself when she was seventeen. With this lyric specifically, a message to think about her future in a positive light, and not worry too much about her current anxieties: slow down, stop driving, take a rest, and think about your future. Not of all of the anxieties of being older, but rather the assurance that things will ultimately work out. The repetition of the line, as well as the amount of sincerity in her tone of voice help to sell this line, and the themes of the song in general.

soph

“As the World Falls Down” - David Bowie - Labyrinth

“I’ll paint you mornings of gold/I’ll paint you Valentine evenings/Though we’re strangers ‘til now/We’re choosing the path/Between the stars/I’ll leave my love/Between the stars”

Dorky love song for the dorkiest movie. It’s so cheesy but I will say the lyrics make me emo. I want someone to love me the way Jareth loves Sarah. :(

“Army of Ancients” - Dr. Dog - Fate

“I don’t wanna wake up/I don’t wanna move/I’ll skip the sermon and stick to the booze/I’m sorry/But I’ll take what I want in the dawn’s early light”

I think the build up to “I’m sorry” is what really gets me with these lyrics. You gotta listen to understand how he screams it. He’s truly sorry.

“Sports” - Viagra Boys - Street Worms

“Baseball/Basketball/Wiener dog/Short shorts, cigarette/Surfboard, ping pong/Rugby ball, wiener dog/Skiing down on the beach/Sports”

Epitome of America in this one. This reminds me of the horrors of high and middle school gym class.

Ben

These are the lyrics that make me laugh the most. Attempting to narrow down the lyrics that are most meaningful to me was making my head hurt.

"Harlem shake? Nah, I'm in Harlem shaking the weight

Shaking to bake, shaking the Jakes

Kill you, shoot the funeral up and Harlem Shake at your wake"

-Cam’ron, “Down and Out”

If the lyrics from this video counted, I would have included “Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall/Splattered his skull/I witnessed it/That was my dawg,” but I will settle for the original. Every word spoken by Cam'ron on Purple Haze is tattoed to my subconcious.

"See me on the court if you wanna diss me

Let's play a game of 21, it's really fun

I got half court shots and I'll post you up

I'm Latrell Sprewell, I'll choke the coach"

-Lil B - “Fuck KD”

I do not endorse any acts of violence perpetrated towards former NBA coach P.J. Carlesimo.

"Put a pill in a McFlurry, I'm goofy

Shoot me, acting for the cameras, it's a movie

I can see you're gloomy, 'cause I'm too t'd

I'm a dog on the roof like Snoopy"

-Bladee - “I’m Goofy”

This one both makes me laugh and is very meaningful to me.

DJ Penny Lane

“Brokedown Palace” - Grateful Dead - American Beauty

“Momma Momma many worlds I’ve come since I first left home”

This is one of my favorite lyrics of all time! It really puts life into perspective on how far you can go in life with “many worlds I’ve come”, yet you’ll always have those memories from your childhood growing up at home. The lyric itself is sung in a pleading way, making many listeners emotional because it's like “Look mom! Look how far I’ve come and how many worlds I’ve traveled!” So yeah baller lyric it even makes John Mayer cry when he performs it.

“Going to California” - Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV

“Made up my mind to make a new start/Going to California with an aching in my heart”

This one hits close to home, being from California I always find myself listening to this song. It’s such a thrilling feeling to get the motivation to start something new and change your whole life. Especially when that new place feels so natural like you are meant to go there or like in the song “with and aching in my heart.”

“August” - Flipturn - Citrona

“But now you’re a stranger, And I’m still July, But don’t you remember, August, honey you were mine”

Current favorite song of the moment, highly recommend listening to this song in a car. The song is supposed to reflect on how in life we come across people that can be the closest people to us and know us better than anyone, then at another they become complete strangers. Flipturn wrote the song because one of the members was only having luck finding love in the month of August, then after that month everything would fall apart. I love when they say “I’m still July” because it means the person is still stuck in the month before August, making their lover a stranger.

tide2004

“This Floating World” – I Hate Sex – This Floating World

“In my fall I would feel so light, so warm / I would have no regrets, no fear and above all things / I would be alone, floating along”

“Alison” – Slowdive – Souvlaki

“Alison, I'll drink your wine / And wear your clothes when we're both high / ‘Alison’, I said, ‘We're sinking’ / But she laughs and tells me it's just fine”

“Vendetta” – Irate (NYC) – New York Metal

“This ain't mall metal made for little bitches”

kmurph!!!!

unfortunately, i would have actually dropped dead if i tried to narrow this down to three. so, five it is. some of these are serious and some are not, and i love them all equally.

“bonfire”-childish gambino-camp

“made the beat then murdered it, casey anthony”

i laugh every single time i hear this lyric, which has got to be hundreds if not thousands of times at this point. idk if i should be laughing at it, honestly. but it has the exact desired impact.

“no flex”-tiny meat gang-locals only

“i pull up in a foreign whip-you hear my honda civic/i pulled another foreign bitch-i think she might be british (i got a text!)”

to those whom this lyric is significant, it has layers upon layers. TMG cooked so hard on their joke music that they realized they were accidentally making unironically good music.

“john my beloved”-sufjan stevens-carrie and lowell

“so can we be friends, sweetly/before the mystery ends?/i love you more than the world can contain/in its lonely and ramshackle head”

you could sub this out with any collection of words sufjan stevens has ever written and i would stand by it.

“turn me down”-julia jacklin-crushing

“don’t look at me, look at the centre line/maybe i’ll see you in a supermarket sometime”

this was the best and also most utterly soul-crushing and devastating and life-ruining way to end this song. i love it.

“fear city”-surf curse-magic hour“i might just cum at the sound of the dying child in me/(wait, what did he say?)/i said my hair's just way too short to make a living/ (that's definitely not what he said)”

i just adore the complete absurdity of this. i don’t know why it was written but i’m so glad it was. brightens my day a little bit every time i hear this little exchange. also lowkey poetic.

EMI

“I fell right into the arms of Venus De Milo” - “Venus” by Television

“Not a lot of room to grow

Inside this leather terrarium” - “Type Slowly” by Pavement

“These hoes chase bread, aw damn she got a bird brain” - “I Don’t Fuck With You” by Big Sean

“You’re a star-belly sneetch, you suck like a leech you want everyone to act like you” - “Holiday In Cambodia” by Dead Kennedys

“Waldo Jeffers had reached his limit” - “The Gift” by The Velvet Underground

“Centered ‘round long time ago

On your ability to torment

Then you took your tongs of love

And stripped away my garment” - “Gut Feeling/(Slap Your Mammy)” by DEVO

“I’ve been screwing on the tracks of abandoned train stations” - “Art Star” by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

“Tap all over this big world

Take my hand you ugly girl” - “Mutilated Lips” by Ween

Caught your hand inside the till

Slammed your fingers in the drawer

Fought with kitchen knives and skewers

Dressed me up in women’s clothes

Messed around with gender roles

Line my eyes and call me pretty” - “Laid” by James

“I swung my fiery sword

I vent my spleen at the lord

He is abstract and bored

Too much milk and honey” - “Transport is Arranged” by Pavement

“We were fucking corndogs” - “History Lesson Part 2” by Minutemen

“Some people like to go out dancing

And other people, they have to work

And there’s even some evil mothers

Well they’re gonna tell you that everything is just dirt

You know that women never really faint

And that villains always blink their eyes

You know children are the only ones who blush

And that life is just to die” - “Sweet Jane” by The Velvet Underground

“Everywhere eyes

Nowhere to die

No place to shove your sharpened heel” - “Father to a Sister of a Thought” by Pavement

“ALL I WANTED WAS A PEPSI

AND SHE WOULDN'T GIVE IT TO ME

JUST A PEPSI” - “Institutionalized” by Suicidal Tendancies

“Rosemary

Heaven restores you in life

You’re coming with me

Through the aging the fearing the strife

It's the smiling on the package its the faces in the sand

It’s the thought that moves you upwards

Embracing me with two hands” - “Evil” by Interpol

“And he gave you a german shepard to watch

With a collar of leather of nails

And he never once made you explain or talk

About all of the little details” - “Master Song” by Leonard Cohen

“Stallion / walking on my back / I raised it from birth / never holding black (yeah!) - “Stallion” by The Garden

“If you want me to

I will be the one

That is always good

And you’ll love me too

But you’ll never know

What I feel inside

That I’m really bad

Little Trouble Girl” - “Little Trouble Girl” by Sonic Youth

“I like all the different people

I like sticky everywhere

Look around

You bet I’ll be there

Hot metal in the sun, pony in the air

Sooey and saints at the fair” - “Saints” by The Breeders

“New Year’s Eve was boring as heaven / I watched flies fuck on channel 11” - “Private Eye” by Alkaline Trio

Sofia!!

“And when everyone winds me up I just can't wind down/ and the April rain soaks my jokes to a pulp/ the sun makes my eyes burn/ and it must be my turn/ to fly with the birds this time”

“The Birds” – Swervedriver, Ejector Seat Reservation

I LOVE THIS ENTIRE SONG AND ALL ITS LYRICS!!!!!!

“We dreamt of all of your lives as we carry home dust of the cloudless summer skies/ And the salt that we give is of us and all we ever had waste in the same place in the end

“The Same Place” – Centaur, In Streams

Apparently the lyrics to the songs on this album are about the singer’s kid that died while the album was being written, which is definitely why this song and all the rest are so sad they’re almost unlistenable. All of the lyrics to this song are so emotional and they complement its heavy sound so well.

“Watching the parade with pinpoint eyes full of smoldering anger/ you can do whatever you want to, whenever you want to”

“Ballad of Big Nothing” – Elliott Smith, Either/Or

Honestly picking a favorite Elliott Smith lyric is kind of an impossible task, but this one always sticks out to me. This song is about being tired of your life and addicted to drugs – the repetition of the line about doing whatever you want to and the bitterness with which he says it is so impactful.

“When the loving comes and we’re already gone/ Just like your dad, you’ll never change”

“Sulk” – Radiohead, The Bends

Lol

“I’ll make a bitch stand outside forever like the Statue of Liberty”

“I Don’t Fuck with You” – Big Sean (E-40’s verse), Dark Sky Paradise

I mean… come on…

Zola Thomas

“Dont trust me” - 3!OH3, Want

“tell your boyfriend if he says he got beef, that im a vegetarian and I aint fucking scared of him”

3!OH3 might not be remembered as musical geniuses of their time (or remembered at all), but this might be one of the best lyrics of 2008. Using beef in its literal, and figurative sense helped create one of the most creative lyrics to come out of late 2000s electropop. While most of their other songs have faded away into obscurity, Don't trust me has managed to cling onto a resemblance of cultural relevance thanks to the genius of this lyric

“Fat lip” - Sum 41 - all killer, no filler

“I like songs with distortion, to drink in proportion the doctor said my mom should've had an abortion”

While on its own, this lyric is a nugget of genius, the thirty seconds of “bortion” echoing before the chorus only adds to it, and really adds to the ambiance of the song. There's so many other great lyrics in this song, but the abortion echo solidifies this as the best parts of the song.

“Taco Truck x VB” - Lana del rey - Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean blvd

“Pass me my vape, I'm feeling sick, I need to take a puff”

Lana has written many amazing lyrics throughout her career, she is known for her storytelling through her songwriting. Lana is also known for her affinity for vaping, so it might not have been too surprising when her art imitated reality, and she sang about craving her vape. She's so real for that.

“Thrift shop” - Macklemore - The heist

“What you know about rocking a wolf on your noggin? What you knowing about wearing a fur fox skin? I'm digging, I'm digging, I'm searching right through that luggage One man's trash, that's another man's come up”

Nobody encapsulates the feeling of an amazing score at the thrift shop better than macklemore. He managed to make thrifting exciting, and gave a voice to the random crap you always see at the thrift store.

Steven

I struggled gathering lyric after lyric from artist after artist that I found to be extremely profound or extraordinarily funny but in the end I am casting it all aside just to give you pure and unfiltered out of context Car Seat Headrest one liners. Enjoy.

I used to enjoy losing money, but now all I do is win - “Oh! Starving”

Fucking goddamn, how I love your shoulders - “No Passion”

I’m changing your anatomy, hipbone is connected to my heart - “happy news for sadness”

You are not real. - “I Wanna Sweat”

Will they play music I like? “Sleeping With Strangers”

I was young and I loved you but then came the shabba-de-beop-dop-be-shibby-day-oh-yeah. Shabba-de-bop-bop-be-shibby-day-oh-yeah - “The Ending of Dramamine”

I’m an optical illusion - “Beast Monster Thing”

Last night, I dreamed Obama came to my birthday party. -“You’re in Love With Me”

All my fantasies are faking orgasms - “America (Never Been)”

I won’t need my hair cut for months! - “Is This Dust Really From the Titanic?”

Last night, I dreamed I had returned to the land of my favorite highways - “Hey Space Cadet (Beast Monster Thing in Space)”

I want to kick my dad in the shins - “Something Soon”

Get a job! - “Times to Die”

All of my friends are making money - “Times to Die” congrats Will Toledo and Crew!

You just want to see me naked! - “Fill In the Blank”

It ain’t no pair of Air Jordans - “1937 State Park”

She’s not my ex, we never met, but do you still think of me? - “Unforgiving Girl (She’s Not An)”

Can you kick his ass? Can you kick his ass for me? - “Cosmic Hero”

Oh please let me join your cult! - “Beach Life-In-Death” there are always real tears streaming down my cheeks and my face is red as hell screaming this part

You’ve just been singing about girls, what do you know about girls? Fuck - “Nervous Young Inhumans”

Getting high on nothing - “Can’t cool me down”

And my actual maybe favorite lyric ever

I would sleep naked, next to you naked -“Cute Thing”

June 25 ZODIAC

Close to home and strict: they are grouchy and variable simultaneously. They can undoubtedly squeeze into varying backgrounds and effectively switch companions. They are solid and extremely influential individuals. Their interests are areas of strength for extremely, their propensities frequently mislead them. They are drawn to the other gender. In the event that you are cautious you will come by a decent outcome. Barely any times in their lives will they fall affected by others. They have solid respect and a great deal of adoration for studies, which would ultimately raise them to a conspicuous scholastic position. They frequently carry on with a desolate existence, and for the most part concentrate abroad. A lady brought into the world on this day is very lovely, with a well disposed, dynamic, fairly hurried outside. In any case, she docilely quiets down. She will have youngsters and will be exceptionally joined to them. Somewhat modest and not fair 100% of the time. She tracks down joy in helping other people and really focusing on the feeble. Individuals conceived today are by and large miserable in their childhood. Nonetheless, everything improves as the years go by: their position settles, they become prosperous, and their state of mind improves decisively.

[BERLIN DAILY #4] DIMANCHE 19 FÉVRIER

‘Nos vies d'avant’ de Celine Song Compétition, sortie le 13/12

Nous pouvons vraisemblablement supposer que le film ‘Nos vies d’avant’ revêt un caractère autobiographique poussé pour la réalisatrice Celine Song, sachant qu'elle est partie immigrer de la Corée du Sud au Canada dans sa jeunesse tout comme la protagoniste principale. Hélas, cela ne suffit pas à faire un scénario intéressant. Mièvre de bout en bout, ‘Nos vies d’avant’ ne nous a jamais émus, ce qui est bien malheureux pour un film mélodramatique comme celui-là. Nouvelle production A24, ‘Past Lives’, successeur de ‘Minari’ de Lee Isaac Chung (2021) qui traitait déjà de l’immigration coréenne en Amérique du Nord, tire les avantages (une photo léchée, une bande sonore élégante) et les tics dérangeants (faiblesse de scénario, mollesse des personnages) de certaines productions du studio. Si le film est porté par une interprétation plutôt convaincante, notamment avec John Magaro qu’on retrouve avec bonheur après le chef-d’œuvre ‘First Cow’ de Kelly Reichardt (2021), il ne parvient à se dépêtrer de ce scénario tire-larmes ne tenant pas sur la longueur. Nos vies précédentes, comme cela est souligné avec lourdeur à plusieurs reprises dans le film, devaient apparemment être loin de tout cela. ‘Ingeborg Bachmann – Journey into the Desert’ de Margarethe von Trotta Compétition, prochainement

Centré sur la relation conflictuelle que la poétesse et auteure autrichienne Ingeborg Bachmann a entretenue avec le dramaturge suisse Max Frisch, ce long-métrage a mis à rude épreuve notre patience : sonnant faux de bout en bout (notamment dans sa représentation des cultures étrangères), survolant allègrement l’œuvre des deux artistes et aussi fiévreux qu’un épisode de ‘Gloire et Beauté’ (quelle risible scène de sexe !), l’entreprise a tourné au désastre. Un des nombreux défauts du film est de ne faire exister aucun autre personnage que sa protagoniste principale qu’on écoute s’apitoyer sur son sort pendant près de heures particulièrement pénibles. Si les deux acteurs principaux, dont l’omniprésente Vicky Kriesp, s’en sortent plutôt bien, ils ont du mal à donner un semblant d’âme à ce mauvais téléfilm. Aussitôt vu, aussitôt oublié. ‘Passages’ d’Ira Sachs, Panorama, sortie le 28/06

On finit en beauté cette journée avec le superbe ‘Passages’ de l’américain Ira Sachs dans la section Panorama. Véritable marivaudage dans la plus pure tradition de la Nouvelle Vague française de Jean Eustache ou Eric Rohmer, le film se passe bien sûr majoritairement dans les intérieurs parisiens (cafés, boîtes de nuits, appartements) mais détonne par son caractère international avec la présence de notre chouchou allemand Franz Rogowski et du britannique Ben Whishaw offrant tous deux des prestations bouleversantes. Notre coqueluche française Adèle Exarchopoulos boucle ce triangle amoureux de la plus belle manière dans un cocktail hautement explosif. L’instabilité émotionnelle et le besoin de reconnaissance de Tomas (Franz Rogowski) va entraîner bien des dommages collatéraux que le scénario retranscrit joliment par les réactions maladroites de l'ensemble des personnages (lui qui annonce de but en blanc à son compagnon Martin qu’il a couché avec Agathe et puis qu’il l’a même fait tomber enceinte, les parents d’Agathe qui s’inquiètent pour leur fille en faisant de l’ingérence dans le couple qu’elle entretient avec Tomas, Martin qui demande à Agathe si elle va retenter d’avoir un enfant juste après que celle-ci ait dévoilé qu’elle s’est fait avorter). On est happés dès les premiers instants par ce long-métrage jouant sur la mise en abîme (le film s’ouvre sur le tournage d’un autre film, la situation d’expatriée du réalisateur américain à Paris tout comme Tomas et Martin). Les escapades en vélo de Thomas témoignent d’une fureur de vivre un idéal de vie à trois, se confrontant ici durement à la réalité des sentiments de chacune des parties prenantes. Un film profondément humain et touchant, le meilleur qu’on ait vu jusqu’à présent à cette édition de la Berlinale. A&B
