Re: Possible Shake Me Like A Monkey Lyrics??

They're definitely deeper and more thoughtful than this:

Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love

Here you go, you dirty girl
Good God, try to love try to oh
God's love is alive inside you
You know who needs you

I wanna be your hunger
I wanna see you open wide
And then I go down for you
I wanna blow your mind

It's my aim to kill you
My aim's to love you

You and I such a pretty thing
Smile, smile, you know you thrill me
Cross your heart and hope to die
You know I'd love to

I wanna be your hunger
I wanna see you open wide
And when I go down for you
I wanna blow your mind

You and I oh oh
Shine, shine

Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love

You come like an aswered prayer
Praise God, try to love try to oh
I have the little death delight
Oh I love you

I wanna be your hunger
I wanna see you open wide
And when I go down for you
I wanna blow your mind

You, you, hey you
You, you, ohh
You, you, ohh

Can we agree on that?

    Well we believe you now, but can you at least say what the medium of the lyrics is? Their word? Their transcription of the liner notes...what?


    But honestly, even knowing Spaceman and Why I Am still doesn't change how they'll be on the album for me. UTTAD and Crash were basically all already know. It's just that here Why I Am and Spaceman are probably very similar to their album counterparts. I just want anything I can get as soon as possible. Keep posting!!!

    You're right, but it's like picking a turd out of the toilet.

    Yeah, those lyrics do nothing for me. I hope the song is good enough in a WWYS/Satellite sort of way to overcome those scattershot, nonsense lyrics.

    Using the worst possible option to support the "deepness" or "profound-ness" of a song is absurd. Compare them to Daves best lyrics and you'll see just how shitty they are.

    anybody agree?

    you dont have to click on threads with titles that say there are lyrics in them. i dont really care that much to read them, but its totally up to you to come into this thread. If the lyrics were just tossed into a random thread without that in the title, that wouldnt be cool, but what hes doing is just fine.

    Yes, lets compare them to something brilliant like Let You Down.

    Why I Am is Dave trying to be deep and profound and failing completely.

    To your first point ; maybe this song is going to sound fucking awesome and cover up the nonsensical lyrics


    To your second point ; I think it is pretty profound once you accept what it is

    People, just don't let your opinion be affected by something like this. It's called context. I just hate that some fuckers here aren't going to like the album because they decided that they wouldn't way back in 2005

    You're a tool.

    Didn't we just bring up What Would You Say? Or what about Jimi Thing? Or Tripping Billies. Read through those again.

    I wasn't saying these Shake Me lyrics are profound. But they definitely have a little more substance than Hunger.

    The 90's were a long time ago. It was a different style. Dave is still writing great songs but just because they don't have completely cryptic lyrics doesn't make them bad songs. He put his heart and soul into making this album.

    So much bitching. Such ungrateful so-called fans.
    you rock

    I agree wholeheartedly. After reading this one I am not reading the lying in the hands of god or any others. I think we should let the lyrics speak for themselves WITH the music. just my .02

    after reading the lyrics a couple of times they seem decent. The only real weird line is the toast and jelly line, but of course we do have to take it all in context. Im just happy the refrain isnt something like :

    shake me like a monkey
    shake me like a monkey
    shake me like a monkey, baby

    and that the song title is taken from a line in the song instead
