yeah mine was a joke quote. it’s funny, but definitely not my fav. ministry/etc has too many good lyrics to quote a few.
lol whitehouse…yeah. i don’t know about them. i have a friend who showed me some of their stuff before…the music isn’t bad…his screeching and yelling just gets annoying after awhile though.
The third verse in Filth Pig.
"I keep chasing this tail but the tail gets bigger go figure
A thousand more stories keep the fires and flames alive
So how the fuck do I dream at night?
With the memories of a borrowed death, the guilty past "
Resurrection coming in stereo. If you say so.
blood keeps drinking away
certain of its destination
driving through new orleans at night
gotta find a destination
just one fix
life keeps slipping away
fighting in a war with damnation
poised, keep cutting away
i’m looking in through to salvation
just one fix
like if i boarded a train
trying to take in another station
join us and the choice will be made
unless we kill the lie as a nation
just one fix

I’ve always liked this one.
“The mirror collapses but the image does not.”
Late,

Had this in my head for days. This one is mine too.
just about anything off of The Mind or Psalm… but i think that The Fall has easily some of the best lyrics i have ever heard. i dont know what it is about that song… but every time i hear it i feel so much more than i am even comfortable with.
and knowing that uncle al wrote those lyrics, and then looking at where he is now… its sad…
Some disagree, but I believe the best lyrics come from one’s personal angst. Since Al was at a personal low point when he wrote the Filth Pig album (arrests, divorce, height of drug addiction) you get his best lyrics.
Just like a car crash
Just like a knife
My favorite weapon
Is the look in your eyes!
That always sounded cool to me.
i know it is next to impossible, but i would really like ot know EXACTLY who wrote which lyrics on the albums, Mind through Dark Side…
sometimes you can tell a chris song or an al song… but sometimes…
“Do you believe in angels?”
“… No.”
“Do you believe in angels?”
“… No.”
Those lyrics were technically “written” by Angie (I guess Al said “no”).
you are right. that is angie
altghough the ominous NOooOOoOOo sounds cool.
If al didn’t dfistort the fuck our of his lyrics, woudln’t we have have some fine lyrical content to discuss??
I always liked the entirery of the “unofficial” song America. In fact, it holds up better (sadly enough) post-9/11 than it did in '82 or whenever it was originally written.
In particular:
America
There is no trust
If you want get the business, you have to get fucked
America, America, America, America
America, HAHAHAHA!
America, HAHAHAHA!
America, HAHAHAHA!
America, HAHAHAHA!
America
Fourth of July
Here we go with some apple pie
There’s apple pie for everyone
America, there’s so much fun
Love so much Ministry material, but still can’t possibly go past this:
"you said you needed full time help
cause you’re all alone
i said i’d work for nothing at all
if i just could take you home
and now you’re taking applications
for your love
you wanted certain specifications
i circled the one that said all the above"
you are right. that is angie
altghough the ominous NOooOOoOOo sounds cool.

If I remember right. Could’ve sworn she denied it being her.
I don’t think so. I remember an interview where somebody asked her about the valley girl accent and she said she thinks that’s just her Canadian accent.
Or something…
Angie literally wrote my favorite Ministry song. I’m okay with this.
As for Al/Paul penned stuff… I think my favorite lyrics are from “Whip and Chain.”
i know it is next to impossible, but i would really like ot know EXACTLY who wrote which lyrics on the albums, Mind through Dark Side…

Good lyrics: Connelly, Barker
Bad lyrics: Al
