favorite 311 lyrics

[$lmjimy311]

now im not saying these are my favorite 311 lyrics of all time, but these are SOME of mine (point of this thread is to point our your own):
- fish who keeps on swimming, is the first to chill up steam
- and I guess that's life
when you gotta roll through anyway
now don't scream, don't fight
fear never ever made it go away
same ghost town as yesterday
made you feel like love was miles away
- Everything you do, it comes back to you, whatever it may be. If it isn't one thing, rest assured that something will come back and pay you for your deeds. A shortcut's a self-defeating mean. If you cannot do it clean, you'll never reach your reward. And when the day is done, what you receive is the sum of what you took out from what you put in.
- Life's a bowl of punch. Go ahead and spike it.
- The jaded ones will wither while the optimistic grow.
- Life's not a race


these are just some i can think of off the top of my head while i've been drinking. the point is, 311 like most every awesome band, has awesome lyrics and has awful lyrics. just because they have the occasional awful lyrics doesnty mean that, their entire body of work is awful

Okay, my favorite two "lyrics" are rather long, but they are just so, so, so, good!

Salsa:
"Another tale of ordinary madness
The girl who gave you her sex I heard was homeless say
All I really wanna is to feel nirvana
Won't you take me tonight and we just might find
A bottle of wine and feel our nasty nature
Your toung lickin' up my tounge
Your radio pickin' up a smokey jazz love song
Madness becomes you even though your
Livin' life it's hard to exist when you're tempted
By flesh you wanna bust through
Beautiful legs in the bar there is poetry
She bends and suspends and her ass
Is a marvelous thing
A dance dancin' at a club the Hereafter
Who can't really dance but that doesn't really matter
And she won't hear applause
Cus your drunk and lost
All light is gone
Your arms spread like a cross
And you're dreaming that the world
Will soon fall apart
Topless firl in your gaze
Which is hazy
Takes your dollar
In the gutter without cigarettes
Or wine your hungover
I was warned of your normal
Behaviour and felt
My life was too short to
Consider your wack self
It's like this when you dip down
And you are boxin'
Reeling against the ropes and you
Face some young Mexican
Your scrappin' your kneck gets
Snapped back your eyes have bled
Your thinking' about a comeback
But your takin' it to the head
You little bastard
Better watch you back
Cuz we're after
Your punk ass by God we're gonna jack it
You're played out and small time
And your show is over
You're 'bout as lucky as a three leaf clover
And your older ho bag sceezer
In her droopy saggy skin
Who thoughtshe was a model
But in truth a never-has-been
I'll slap that witch as if I were her pimp
And my crew will attest to her fradulence"

Guns (Are For Pussies):
I love the lyrics to this whole song basically, but here are my three fave parts:
A. "Born to act out,
Paranoid with a gat
Born to act out,
Think you knowwhere it's at
Born to act out,
But you're lookin' like a sissie
Born to act out"

B. "Guns are for pussies I'm not from Philly but some say I'm a blunt
That's justthe way I am and no I'm not going to front
And yes I took a trip to find outabout the ways of big
City seedy bars and drugs that make you feel shitty
Prettyolder women in skirts conversation frisky
Stinking cigarettes and plenty ofbourbon whisky
Sad classical music on the jukebox of doom Hollywood Blvd"

C. "Take it brother all the way and then you're scared
Don't want to be unprepared
You're getting paranoid,
And then guns are shared
You guys think you're hard,
But you're in fear of getting harmed
I fear no man and
I am unarmed"

[SoundSalad]

gettin funky on the mic like an old batch of collard greens

[fatlip]

"i got more funky styles than my laserjet got fonts"

at that time, the lyric was off the hook.. anyone that's 24 or younger right now, doesn't remember that printers used to have a preset amount of fonts in them and you'd have to set which one you want before you printed something.

Yeah, especially since I no longer have the earthlink account that included the webspace that site was built with. My only guess is that it is good advertising for earthlink (I had put a link to earthlink at the very bottom of the pages.) A few years ago Earthlink Search sent me a message that said that website was ranked as the 7th most visited 311 fansite in the world. Even without it being paid for anymore, Earthlink may view it as very low-cost webspace for the traffic it receives.

Or it could be because Earthlink just hasn't realized it should be taken down because they are too busy trying to get more spammer business. Earthlink sucks dong.
