Big thread... I allmsot got 1/4 by reading it all and nearly half by not reading the lyrics... (I'll finnish it some other day). I think that all lyrics is much better if you have the music too. And it seems I'm the only one who havn't heard of all the bands mentioned, whitch I just take as a conferm of my tense that I know too little about too much <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />.
And another thing before I post some lyrics: it seems like there is a lot of pepole that's goth (or at least listens to gothic music. Oh hi Lucretia <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />) and basicly the only things I know about goth is:
1/ Cure isn't Goth. I listen to Cure, so I know what they sound like.
2/ Sisters of Mercy is supposed to be just as Goth as possible. I haven't herd a single Sisters of Mercy song. Ever.
3/ It seems to be the kind of music that fits my personality.
Point three is the reason I whonder: What does Gothic music sound like? What bands? Any tips of records for newbies? Point 1 and 2 is just there to help you in make yourself understanded. And now some lyrics ('cos that's what tis post is all about, isn't it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />?)
Ugly by Smashing Pumpkins (not the most common Pumpkinssong since it was one of the last songs to be sorted away from Mellon Collie and the Infinitive Sadness (whitch I don't own). My brother has got the song on tape. Really bad quality (on the tape that is) but the lyrics is awsome).
I don't look in the mirror
I don't like what I see staring back at me
Everything is clearer
I'll never see what you see
It's not me
So beautiful and free
I'll never be what you need
I can't help it at all
I was born so beautiful
But now I'm ugly
And I rot in my skin
As a piece of me dies everyday
I know I'm nothing
I know there's nothing I can say
To change
The judgement in their ways
I'll never be what you need
I can't help it at all
My love was so beautiful
But now I'm ugly
Yeah...
I'm good enough, but I don't care
I'm good enough, but I'm not there
I'm good enough, but I don't care
The sun is out, but I'm not there
(I can go anywhere) I'm good enough, but I don't care (...somewhere)
(I can go anywhere) The sun is out, but I'm not there (...somewhere)
(I can go anywhere) I'm good enough (...somewhere)
(I can go anywhere) I'm good enough (...somewhere)
I don't look in the mirror
I don't like what I see staring back at me
Everything is clearer
I'll never see what you see
And I rot in my skin
As a piece of me dies everyday
I know I'm nothing
Because I'm ugly
I'll save the rest of my lyrics for some other time. And those includes a Swedish song so.. hang on out there <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />.
