The lyrics are not in any particular order (actually, they're probaly just in order from my favourite to my least favourite). Some are accompanied by song meanings, or just my interpretations of them. Here they are: <p> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> <img src="dannyboy.art" hspace="10" vspace="10" align="right"> <font size="5"><font color="red">Don't Wanna Be Daniel Johns</font></font> <p> There's this guy from silverchair <br> He plays guitar and he has blond hair <br> He writes these songs and pretends to care <br> About the issues happening everywhere <p> CHORUS: <br> Don't wanna be Daniel Johns <br> Don't wanna play any of his songs <br> Don't wanna write like him <br> Don't wanna sing like him <br> Don't wanna be Daniel Johns <p> Once in a concert he got hit with a bottle <br> People say "He's so punk rock! He's my role model!" <br> Since when is "punk rock" getting hit with a bottle? <br> I know that bottle doesn't rhyme with bottle <p> CHORUS <p> I bet you weren't expecting this change in the song<br> it may sound strange, it may sound wrong <br> you might say "This doesn't fit anywhere!" <br> But in that way it sounds more like silverchair<p> Through the windows I can see all the pain <br> Dark clouds in the sky start to rain <br> All the feelings they can contain <br> only everything remains <p> CHORUS <p> Daniel Johns <p> I had this really cool picture of Daniel just after he'd been hit with the infamous bottle, with blood streaming down his face, that I was going to put here but it was too big. So I had to settle for this picture. Anyway, this song, suprisingly enough, is basically how YSIB don't wanna be Daniel Johns. Pretty self explanatory, really. This song attracted YSIB a lot of controversy from silverchair fans world wide (hey, I heard about it and I'm from Australia) causing them to sign the original YSIB guestbook in a fit of indignant rage. However, I for one, cannot see the problem. So YSIB don't wanna be Daniel Johns. So what. You don't wanna be YSIB. Do I hold that against you? Ok, I'll shut up now. <p></td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> <img src="mtvlogo.o" hspace="10" vspace="10" align="right"> <font size="5"><font color="red"> Let's Play Coprorate Rock!</font></font> <p> I watch MTV <br> I read Rolling Stone <br> The Spin articles I read <br> Tell me what to condone <p> I'm considered cool <br> I keep up with the fads <br> I know bands that are cool <br> I know what is rad <p> I'm so hip, I can play guitar! <br> I'm so hip, I'll be a rock star! <br> I'm so hip, I know what I'm going to do <br> I'm so hip, you can do it too! <p> (Whooaaah)* let's play corporate rock! <p>*This little embellishment is added the second time through<p>This song is also pretty self explanatory unless, for some reason, you don't understand sarcasm. If you don't, let me spell it out for you: YSIB ARE NOT BEING SERIOUS. Ok? They don't really read Spin and Rolling Stone in order to keep in touch with what is popular. They don't really think they are really cool cause they can play guitar. They are having a go at people that do.<p></td></tr> </table> <img src="FRENZAL2.art" hspace="10" vspace="10" align="right"><font size="5"><font color="red">We Are So Punk Rock </font></font> <br> We are so punk rock that we don't know what to do<br>We never practise our instruments, we dye our hair bright blue<br>We smash all our equipment and go straight to poverty<br> Then we turn to a life of crime and armed robbery<p>We are so punk rock<br> So let's rock<p>We hate all of our audience every fanthat we meet <br> Even though they give us cash and keep us off the street<br> Every day we play and play for 20 bucks a show<br>We play for 15 minutes then it's on the road we go <p> We are so punk rock<br>So let's rock<p>Rooooooock!<p>Daniel Johns sucks, Corporate rock sucks, now YSIB are having a go at punk rock. Or rather stereotypical punk rockers in a typically YSIB sarcastic manner. All of these are pretty self explanatory, actually, I don't know the point in having a "song meanings" section, but anyway. . .you can find a really cool acoustic version of this song on YSIB's official page. That's it really. <p><font size="5"><font color="red">KISUX</font></font> <br>He thinks he's all that <br> Cause of his kicking hat <br> He probaly gots a gat <br>At home I have a cat <p> KISUX <br> He thinks he's so funny <Br> KISUX <br> He don't got no money <br> KISUX <br> He gives us song suggestions <br> KISUX <br> But they all suck so we don't use them <p> He thinks he knows comedy <br> But in reality <br> It is a mystery <br> Means nothing to me <p> Support women's right to choose <p> Ok then. . .Daniel Johns sucks, Corporate Rock sucks, Punk Rock sucks, Kevin Isaacson sucks (KISUX). . .do I see a pattern here? What do you want to bet YSIB have a list at home "Stuff That Sucks" and whenever they feel a case of writer's block coming on, they whip out that list? Actually I don't think that at all, I'm trying to think of something semi intelligent to write and aren't succeeding. I really should quit these extra bits at the end of songs. Anyway, I couldn't find an appropriate picture to put for this, so I just stuck this cool pic of YSIB. Well I haven't yet but I will, so if you visit this site before I've put it up, don't email me, screaming "You liar!" cause i just haven't gotten around to it yet. </body> </html>
