I BELIEVE IN TROPICO

I'm so desperate I made my own Tropico still. 

 
Actually I was just doing some promo for myself...

He's definitely Lana's type, what can I say? And for the few minutes that I met him, he's a real cool (and sexy) guy. Maybe he should have made a bit more of an effort (or a bit less of an effort to look scruffy because you can tell he tried ) but I couldn't imagine him dressing any differently, that's just his style and his/his band's image. Anyway, I love them as a couple, I'm not usually bothered about celeb couples but I really want things to go well for Lana and Baz. 

Her new album "mom jeans."
 
Vacuum cleaning our car,
Kids jumping on sofa, 
I'm going insane
 
Barrie wants a beer
He says "Bring it over here!"
The fat fuck is playing a video game
 
He seems cool, I like him 

Hereby I sentence myself forever speechless.

Fab electro-pop-dance group Monarchy have done a fantastic cover of Lana's Video Games by mashing it and their own 'Phoenix Alive. Listen here...

Us Against The World

Everyday when I get home and there's nobody else in the house (except my cat and I think this is the reason why she's nearly deaf), I go in the bathroom where it's really echo-y and I sing on the top of my voice to the live version of Million Dollar Man. I've managed to get myself to believe I sound really cool, just like Lana but once I recorded myself just out of curiosity and... I don't want to talk about it 

I spent 90% of my day signed into this website because I love Lana and this website so much.

I think this was one of her best looks, and think she should obtain it again.

"baby put on odd shaped sunglasses"

Harvey's in the sky. I just can't hear something else

In my mind, 'sizzling like a snare' was heard as 'sizzling like a snail'....which doesn't even make sense

All of this! I think there are eloquent ways of saying things in a very personal way, that become poetic in that context. I love that Lana's lyrics paint a singular world of her own: they reflect her unique experiences, her interpretations of what she's lived and fantasized, her re-creation of her reality, as well as her dreams and desires, often paying homage to the artistic and thematic influences that colored her subjectivity. Her initial detractors never could have predicted that this slightly strange, uncommon, shamelessly personal  - and,  on the surface, unrelatable - perspective would appeal to the general public. I guess it's as Tolstoi once said: "Describe your village and you will be universal."
 
Most of my favorite lyrics have been mentioned, but I didn't see this line: "Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough, I don't know why." Simple but very real!

"Life is death when blow is life."
"Sometimes I get lonely, millions can hold me now."
"When I was sleeping without you, haunted by the baddest dreams; At last, you're beside me, I have you smiling in your sleep, pillow talk to me."
" Sun will rise, I'm a supernova; I walk on water and I dance like Joplin. When the night descends, I dive into the waves again."
"Are you gonna be my lover, are we gonna be true love suicide? It's either live or die, boy."

take another drag turn me to ashes 
 
its nice to love and be loved but its better 
to know what god knows 
 
jerry says that anytime i think i have a good idea
that i should do the opposite of what it is i feel 
and thats because i have a bad mind
and i have gold in my veins
but he says i got the purest heart
that he's ever seen 
 
what god give me a brain for 
if he won't let me use it
what god give me a plan for
he never helps me do it 
 
you're gonna love me 
i'm gonna make you 
 
she prays the rosary for my broken mind 
 
baby, i have become someone 
not of this world 
 
you got the world, but baby at what price
something so strange, so hard to define 
 
its a love story for the new age, for the six page
want a quick, sick rampage?
wining and dining, drinking and driving
excessive buying, overdose and dying
on our drugs and our love and our dreams and our rage 
blurring the lines between real and the fake 
 
my pussy tastes like pepsi cola 

There's something I have never told you, I'm not really from this world
Life is beautiful but you don't have a clue/  Their magnificence it don't make sense to you
It's the voodoo Mississippi south, 69 million stars. Birds are flying out of my mouth, spirits creeping in my yard. Hold my head, it's tilting back..
Elvis, where are you when I need you most? White gold-sequined jump suit ghost. Pick me up, and make a toast, champagne in the air..
Man makes plans and God laughs, Why do I even bother to ask?
You have to take me right now, from this dark trailer park life now
Living without you is like TV in black and white, you turned me on and brought color into my life...
You're gonna love me... I'm gonna make you
Nothing more gorgeous than a 100$ bill
I like your ultraviolet swing, I like it when you treat me mean, you turn my mood from black to blue/ Scary, my God, you're divine, Gimme them dope &diamonds
You should never come between a woman and a dream and a man who never knew his place
You don't know what you've done to me, you're heavier than heavenly
Let's celebrate our twisted fate, we're the broken ones
You're God's favorite child, boy believe it
Television Heaven (tha whole song)
Walking through the city streets, is it by mistake or design?
Life is a velvet crowbar..
 
I don't think lyrics have to be really complicated or profound to be considered "good" .. I mean that varies from person to person anyway and I think when they are combined with Lana's voice+ how she emotes them + production, etc. it just works

Im lying in the ocean singing your song !!
 
I LOVE it!

You know sometimes I think God's
Playing a little game with me
Looking down from heaven, laughing
Trying to see how much I can take
Because the way things go, it's like a joke
Nobody's had more shots at the moon and missed than me

Well, I find it weird that freaking Gods and Monsters wasn't mentioned in every comment yet.... (seriously wtf, or am I delusional and I only imagined that 95% of the fanbase is in love with those lyrics)
 
But the very best verse, I think is from LGOE, it's just so beautiful.
"Chariots are gold,
I sit, sipping cherry cola,
Caesar says he’d fall in love with me, if I was older.
I hold all the Mexico and I got my own roller coaster,
Sometimes I get lonely, millions can hold me now."
 
I mean come on, how wonderful is that

I think what you mean is that sometimes there is more emphasis on the words than the sound, but I wouldn't go that far.
BTD and Video Games both have amazing lyrics and they also sound amazing for example

fify

Wow, this is like the hardest thing to do. I have a LOT of favorites. Argh. I'll probably regret this decision later but here goes:
 
1. Sexy Lana. I mean c'mon, I just... I can't.

 
2. Back in the days Lana. This truly captures the essence of a star, ready to be born.

 
3. Funny Lana Gif. Makes me laugh whenever I see it. Oh Lana, haha. (Extra)
