I need a weird song I can take literally

[That One Guy]

So, a few months back a friend and I talked about making a campaign out of Beatles' songs. Maybe one of those could work?

I Am The Walrus with a dash of EX1 or EX2 should work.

 

[Clueless]

Tool - Aenema ( http://toolshed.down.net/lyrics/aenimalyrics.php#13 )
Tool - Third Eye ( http://toolshed.down.net/lyrics/aenimalyrics.php#15 )
Or H... or Forty Six and 2 ... ok - that entire album actually - just pick one. Enjoy.

 

[Asha'man]

Speaking of Beatles songs, what about Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds?

 

[Nyaricus]

Here are some choices from me:

Candlemass - Under the Oak
[sblock]...Deep was my anguish infor these words
they froze my blood and chained my soul
the master has spoken, the truth, not any lies

The Devil gives and evil takes
the thing in life that man forsakes
a throne in hell, a price or a sacrifice?

Still the wind was blowing soft
and gentle here under the oak
which gave me shelter and rest infor my trial

I'm not strong, weak is my mind
a new beginning, where to find?
I'm the last one on earth, please forgive us our crime

It was a time, when love was mine
now it's time to sacrifice

this is the song up to about 3:05, after that the lyrics become less useful

Mastodon - Circle of Cysquatch
[sblock]Elephant spirits
Tower of ivory
Story of ancient deities

Seizure of the fleece
Protector of its place

Fly through dreamscapes
Of valleys, gullies and spires
Herd across suicidal slopes

Changeless moonshines
Circle cyclops image

A race of one-eyed beings
All feared and shunned
Rakshasa demon

Seizure of the fleece
Protector of its place

Eyes all around you
Enter the labyrinth
Visions of the hunted
Beware the birchmen

Incisors thought to be
Skulls of us
Our release
[/sblock]

And possibly anything written by System of a Down. They have some crazy, highly unique stuff going on.

cheers,

On a slightly more serious note I am currently using Kiri by MONORAL. Not much on the lyrics side, but it works well with the story.

Johnathan Coulton's Still Alive:

This was a triumph
I'm making a note here
HUGE SUCCESS
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction
Aperture Science

we do what we must because we can
for the good of all of us except for the ones who are dead
but there's no sense crying over every mistake
you just keep on trying until you run out of cake
and the science gets done and you make a neat gun
for the people who are still alive

I'm not even angry
I'm being so sincere right now
even though you broke my heart and killed me
and torn into pieces
and threw every piece into a fire
as they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!
Now these points of data make a wonderful line
and we're out of beta, we're releasing on time
so I'm glad I got burned
Think of all the things we learned for the people that are still alive

go ahead and leave me
I think I prefer to stay inside
maybe you'll find someone else to help you
maybe black mesa
that was a joke, haha, fat chance
anyway this cake is great, it's so delicious and moist
look at me still talking, when there's science to do
when I look out there it makes me glad I'm not you
I've experiments to run, there is research to be done
on the people who are still alive

and believe me I am still alive
I'm doing science and I'm still alive
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive
While you are dying I'll be still alive
and when you're dead I'll be still alive
STILL ALIVE, still alive

as sung by Ellen McLain.
