words come with the music. it's one of those little quirks in life. you buy an album - "for the music", supposedly - but then you go home, put it on and go straight for that lyric sheet. you want to know what the lyrics you're listening to are, or read them as well as hear them to help figure out what they mean. in fact, what may be bringing you back is the story they left in your head last time. saying we buy albums for the music is just a simplistic term we use without thinking about what we're saying.
it could be the most beautiful poetry, the angriest challenge, or a recipe ground out menacingly in german to make parents think it's satanic (see "Die Eier Von Satan" from aenima by Tool :)). whatever. they're the lyrics.
this page is basically a collection of lyrics that's been filling up a corner of my hdd for the last couple of years (ie... since I got the computer...). they're not meant to be the definitive collection of my favourite lyrics; when i tried that the page was getting far too big. they're just what i've found and kept.
I used to have a collection of lyrics here, but Tripod no longer allow directory listings. Bleh. Well, it's redundent these days - finding lyrics used to be a real challenge but that was before Google ;)
