Hilltop Hoods -- The Nosebleed Section

[Tintin]

I'm listening to this song at the moment, and thought I'd put the lyrics on the web, since they don't seem to be there already. Should be good for some hits on ZGeek. The band is from Australia too (Adelaide)! Beware though, these lyrics are probably mostly mis-heard, as they are transcribed by ear!
Let me know how I did. :D

Hilltop Hoods -- The Nosebleed Section

For my people in the front
in the nosebleed section
this for the heads that's loving the mix
my people in the front all covered in spit

lighters in the box (uh) suffer the pitch (wah)
Hilltop Hoods all hoppin this bitch

so we are funk leaders
punks who can't beat us
we bump from pump meters
we drunk you chumps need us

so

jump with us
down the front if it's
(if it's your flava) your flava
come get drunk with us (woo)

This life turned out nothing like I had planned
Why not?
By now I shoulda' had some land,
some money in my hand,
'round about fifty grand
but I got nothin' (nothin')
I write rhymes on the bus
I keep sufferin' (sufferin')
But the lines of the dust
You keep sniffin'
That shit is for the punk crows
This shit is for my bro's
My people in the front row

chorus

You know I looked around, the faces I'd know, I fell in love with the people in the front row
You know I looked around, the faces I'd know, I fell in love with the people in the front row

check it out

I've got hip-hop taste buds
I wanna hear that bass when I make love
Wanna hear some lyrics when I wake up
Write rhymes to get me through a break-up (BITCH!) :swear:

Rough a whiskey straight, no chaser
Win 350 breaks, no flava
Till I found this one
And may the
bass hook with the drum
my saviour

This is a come-back
Tongue that
Sharp like a thumb tack
So-tight chains the same
Get my foot back
One track, eight track
Gaydab residual
Noise band, funk that
We claim with the digital
toys, from the apache,
You're failin' to match me
Throw you're hands in the air
Like you're hailin' a taxi (TAXI!)
And move to the front
thro you steppin'
are you drunk bro?
This is for my peeps and the freaks in the front row

chorus

people don't complain if suffers in here
and you're in the front row
all covered in beer
and club owners don't say the place is wrecked 'it's your fault' (uh uh)
If the roof is on fire it's an electrical fault
Man, I bet you will baulk, when I
Bring it live like Friday night
Footy in my hoodie I can high di
get lie from the brakes on the bass one
lads if you're heading to the bar grab you're mate's one
ladies come chill
come up on me honey o girl I
got half a mil' in monopoly money
There's no stopping me honey
So you can take my hand
We can lay on the beach
And count grains of sand
Take a plane to Japan
And drink sake with the mafia
Fly to Libya for some Bacardi with Ghaddafi-a
Dinner date followed by a funk show (uh)
We rip off our tops and drop a round in the front row

Chorus

Put me here, and I'm all yours
Not for the money and it's not for the applause
No, oh no, no, no, no (it's for the nosebleed section)

Chorus

nice job! except, like, hilltop hoods suck. they suck monumentally. they're fucking TERRIBLE. it's like listening to the attempted artistic outpouring of 8 year olds. these people are DUMB human beings. just LOOK at that shit - it doesn't MEAN anything. it's so blisteringly inane that i feel physically drained, it's stupifyingly banal.

it's. so. fucking. bad. i actually feel embarrased for them. unless, of course, and this is entirely possible, they're simply not trying. did the gentleman responsible for this song sit down, ponder for a few minutes, finally throw his hands up in the air and go "well I can't think of anything!"

i really do feel sorry for some people.

[SOC]

you're not a happy little vegemite today, are you spacefag.

[spaceFAG]

it's not a matter of being happy or not, i just feel ethically compelled to point out crippling stupidity whereever it may be found.










i have my work cut out for me.

[rosamund]

Awww, he thinks he's Utopian. :)

[polite]

I hate to be the skeleton at the feast but I agree with SpaceFag. That was so inane and stupid.I know nobody in Adelaide who talks like that except weirdos who wear beanies when it's 40 degrees.For Adelaide lads to be aping Americans so un-ashamedly seems to me like the imagination and originality factor has gone right out the window.Feel free to comment.

(got to go hang out with my peep's and my bro's:rolleyes: )

[spaceFAG]

i'd like also to note that my comments should not be misconstrued as coming from someone who simply "doesn't like rap". as it so turns out, basically the only fucking thing i listen to any longer is hip hop, i just have selective tastes.

here is a track called Dr Moonorgun by Themselves - who are a collaborative effort between Dose One and Jel.

a B, an I, an O P S Y

how'd they break it to you
you've got cancer of the hope

did you pray
did you make yourself sick
did you paint your mirrors out

that dr moonorgun
he tells you you're dead
like he tells you the time of day
and you ate down to your pit
and you rapped, and rapped, and rapped

you were out scoping bridges and boosting turks
and so you missed the call
it was a false laugh alarm
you had comedic cancer
a funny skinny cancer of the pants
it's something to really quick go out and have some kids about
or something to go see branden and ask about a book about

and you didn't even have a first worst movie yet
or your first small heart attack
or a drivers licence even

all in my outrageously B don coscarelli dreams
all in my outrageously B don coscarelli dreams
all in my outrageously B don coscarelli dreams
all in my outrageously B don coscarelli dreams


notice the difference? it doesn't suck. check out their work if you're interested in genuinely creative, new, interesting music.

In response to that SOC, whoever thinks something sucks or doesn't suck is qualified to say what they think.For myself, me, I, personally like lyrics like the following. If that means someone thinks I am"blisteringly inane" that's the way it is.We can't all think the same otherwise we'd have cloning......err...oops:p


I saw a newspaper picture from the political campaign
A woman was kissing a child, who was obviously in pain
She spills with compassion, as that young child’s
Face in her hands she grips
Can you imagine all that greed and avarice
Coming down on that child’s lips

Well I hope I don’t die too soon
I pray the lord my soul to save
Oh I’ll be a good boy, I’m trying so hard to behave
Because there’s one thing I know, I’d like to live
Long enough to savour
That’s when they finally put you in the ground
I’ll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down

When england was the whore of the world
Margaret was her madam
And the future looked as bright and as clear as
The black tarmacadam
Well I hope that she sleeps well at night, isn’t
Haunted by every tiny detail
’cos when she held that lovely face in her hands
All she thought of was betrayal

And now the cynical ones say that it all ends the same in the long run
Try telling that to the desperate father who just squeezed the life from his only son
And how it’s only voices in your head and dreams you never dreamt
Try telling him the subtle difference between justice and contempt
Try telling me she isn’t angry with this pitiful discontent
When they flaunt it in your face as you line up for punishment
And then expect you to say thank you straighten up, look proud and pleased
Because you’ve only got the symptoms, you haven’t got the whole disease
Just like a schoolboy, whose head’s like a tin-can
Filled up with dreams then poured down the drain
Try telling that to the boys on both sides, being blown to bits or beaten and maimed
Who takes all the glory and none of the shame

Well I hope you live long now, I pray the lord your soul to keep
I think I’ll be going before we fold our arms and start to weep
I never thought for a moment that human life could be so cheap
’cos when they finally put you in the ground
They’ll stand there laughing and tramp the dirt down


See!, people will judge and laugh at this also.Difference of opinion makes a horse race! m.t

see, that's the thing - you CAN quantify these things, given a few generalisations that have more to do with assigning meaning to language than anything.

let us assume for a moment that in any given society, there exists two sets of qualities that through definition and connotation are polarised.

as an example of this, you can say "good" qualities of any given object or being are - powerful, kind, intelligent, bold, compassionate, understanding, proud, strong, creative, productive, generous, etc. next, let us say that there exists a set of qualities that are defined as being "bad" - cheap, greedy, violent, poor, stupid, lazy, uneducated, weak, etc.

so, we have established that there are positive and negative terms that can be applied arbitrarily to... whatever, and these terms are as a general rule universally agreed upon in meaning - the important thing here is it is the application of them that is argued.

as a side note, within the definition of these terms comes the implicit existance of it's opposite. you cannot be "rich" unless there is "poor" to compare it against, hence both terms rely on each other in order to even be conceptually viable.

thus we reach the long winded point of my poorly formed argument - in the same way we can say "this brick is stronger than this flower" we can say "this piece of music is better than this other piece of music" - we look at a brick, and we look at a flower, and analyze their various properties, and make an informed decision - the brick is physically more robust than the flower. noone would argue this, it is "obvious".

so, is it possible for one person to analyze the properties of a piece of music and make comparisons against another? of course it is. i can say that "Why?'s music is more intelligent than Britney Spears' music", given an examination of the elements it is comprised of. "intelligent" is commonly defined, we have two objects to compare, and the sentence is meaningful in as significant a way as saying "this stop sign is redder than this banana". to argue anything else you would be redefining the very meaning of "red", and hence being, at best, facetious, or at worst, as equally worthy of accusations of stupidity as Britney herself.
