Nur Ein VII - The Best Place In Town Is Also The Darkest

The Best Places In Town Are Also The Darkest
by Oystercatcher

My kid drinks her water so quickly
Full bladder, it's a little bit tricky
I help her take a piss right there by the side of the street
I'm never bothered by the coppers patrolling their beat

When I run and I'm itching at 4 miles out
I should be able to relieve myself on my route
I shouldn't have beg and purchase a soda
Or pay a fine cuz I'm a little bit older

I can't take alley or the side of a car piss
Beneath the moon or under cover of star piss
I have to do it where the cameras won't mark it
The best places are always the darkest
The best places are always the darkest
The best places are always the darkest
In the city they are always the darkest

My kid is a cute little bathroom pass
No one has ever dared to say No when we ask
Sometimes it's me, sometimes it's her or we both do
I tell her wash her hands and always say thank you

When I'm solo it's a different kind of scene
There's no mercy for a polite adult to pee
They say buy something or they call it trespassing
I say I'm pissing, so just try and arrest me.

(repeat chorus)
My basic bodily functions are banned
The best places are always the darkest

The Best Place In Town is Also the Darkest
Genevieve Johnson and The Chiefs


Sunshine
always makes me happy
Streaming through the window
to light up your pretty face
But I know that our time
Wil come later in the evening
When we are alone
Doing what we love best
When we're hand-in-hand together in the wee small hours
Out on the streets in the suburbs breaking into houses

Yeah you know the best place in his town
Is usually the darkest one around
The best place in this town is where we can't be seen
Yeah you know the best place in his town
Is usually the darkest one around
Filling up our sacks with iPhones, cash and jewellery

Streetlights
Ought to be avoided
What we want are shadows
Underneath the leafy trees
That's where
Nobody can see us
We climb in through the window, grab stuff, climb out - easy as you please
Hand-in-hand together running with our stash
Straight down to the pawn broker to turn it into cash

Yeah you know the best place in his town
Is usually the darkest one around
The best place in this town is where we can't be seen
Yeah you know the best place in his town
Is usually the darkest one around
When I'm out with my baby, doing some burglary

I get a rush
When I'm creeping around somebody's living room
Filling my backpack with all that lovely loot
Then we hear a noise upstairs
And it sounds like some one is waking up
So we stop
Until the coast is clear
And then we scoot
Yeah off we shoot

Yeah you know the best place in his town
Is usually the darkest one around
The best place in this town is where we can't be seen
Yeah you know the best place in his town
Is usually the darkest one around
Filling up our sacks with iPhones, cash and jewellery

The Best Place in Town is also the Darkest

The best place in Manhattan is the Sidewalk Cafe
It's not very well lit there, but I can not stay away

I met you there on Sunday night then you took me home
It only took about six blocks to get you, get you alone

We stumbled and fumbled around
Anywhere that you are is the best place in town

Your tiny place was really dark, and cozier still
You could not turn the light on 'cuz you never paid the electric bill

We stumbled and fumbled around
Anywhere that you are is the best place in town

I think I saw you today, but it's like we never met
I only really know you as a backlit silhouette

We stumbled and fumbled around
Anywhere that you are is the best place in town

The Best Place In Town Is Also The Darkest
by bgm

in this town
with these people around
I prefer to stay down
in my basement
wet and cold
in the dark and the mould
and there's no one I've told
it's a secret

I don't mind
that they look and can't find me
the dark makes me blind
and it's good
the brightness above
keeps reminding me of
the sweet girl that I love
but she's gone

her dad interfered
then she just disappeared
after saying that I was the one
seven years later
I'm trying to hate her
while keeping away from the sun

so you see
things were not meant to be
and the best place for me
is this basement
through my tears
and her voice in my ears
I've been counting the years
she's been gone

her dad interfered
then she just disappeared
after saying that I was the one
seven years later
I'm trying to hate her
while keeping away from the sun
seven years later
I'm starting to hate her

it seems that the darkness has won

[Manhattan Glutton]

well some people like to hang out at bars downtown
where they try to socialize and let their problems drown

and some people like to read at the hip cafe
where the company's nice if you tend to lean the right way

but then there are those who abstain from beaches
prefer hanging out where the sun never reaches

and if you find one, he'll gladly confess
that the best place in town is also the darkest


those beverages are fine but far too bitter for some
who prefer hanging out far away from the sun

trees are pretty and air is a blast
this weather is nice, just as long as it lasts

but there's nothing quite like the comfort of AC
flowing in your basement while watching TV

where you don't need pants or have to get dressed
sometimes the best place is also the darkest

oh the best things in life are not free
they're the ones that come through the cable TV

oh but maybe there's more to this town
so listen up and turn the volume down

oh the best things in life are easy
they're the ones that don't require I go find my house key

oh but maybe there's much more to see
so open up and turn off that TV

The Best Place is Town is Also the Darkest - Frankie Big Face

By this time tomorrow morning, it will be done
The earth will no longer be burning in the sun
The places that once were warming will be gone

Heed this warning, bees are swarming in place
Nights of yearning, days of scorning erased

And if I had never known you, I'd be okay
As I was not always prone to feel this way
But if I must be alone then someone must pay

Etched in stone, a simple poem of misgiving
Empty homes are catacombs for the living

The sign on her father's diner reads "Best Place in Town"
But when the authorities find her, they'll tear it down
They'll pave over every corner and paint the ground
The color of her eyeliner, the darkest shade around

The Best Place in Town is Also the Darkest
by Jon Eric

You can see them out in herds at night
Vee formation, birds in flight
It’s just how it goes; most folks wouldn’t even think twice about it
But a nerd just might
Get aggravated by the way that the mindless
Take this timeless town and grab hold
Forty-eight powerless hours a week
Not even able to speak, we gotta watch it unfold
They’re all looking for the same place so deep that the light can’t reach
Each one has a dress code all to itself and its very own patterns of speech
So if we find that club and we fall in love
Will it look like the fall of Rome?
I’ma grab your hip, we’re gonna tango dip
On the brown wooden box you call home

[chorus 1]
The best, best, best place in town
Is also the dark, dark, darkest around
And the rich, rich, richest cuisine
Is always for free
The worst, worst, worst place to be
Is somewhere they let in someone like me
Well, the best, best, best place is town
Is always the darkest

No, no, no, no
It’s dark in here, I fear the worst
Tell me, am I blind or cursed?
Or dead or dying, somewhere in between
God won’t tell me where I strayed
Right now there’s nothing I won’t trade
For a glimpse of anyone or anything

My memory will not retrieve
Or something that I can’t believe
The details of the last time I saw the breaking of the day
No solace and no help within
And I won’t feel like myself again
Until some force can chase the dark away

[chorus 2]
I can see, I can see, I can very nearly see
The light, the light
I can smell, I can smell, I would swear to God I smell
The river, flush with fish and rising up in the rain
I can hear, I can hear, in my mind’s ear I can hear
The choir greeting me on sight
It may terrify you, man, but I can verify firsthand
The dark is pain

[chorus 1, then both choruses at once, twice]

Under a new moon, after the embers die
All you can hear are the crickets
And the sizzle of smoldering flame
The smoke burns your nostrils
A cold breeze makes you shiver
Though this evening is long since forgotten
The feeling will always remain

The Best Place in Town is Also the Darkest
By The Boffo Yux Dudes

pass the peas
pass the bread
pass me some mayo
pass me some cheese
pass me something . make me gonna sneeze...

Gonna take you to a place
Take you downtown
It's a little tiny place
Where we can fool around

It's cool and dark
But the band is hot
It's the best in town
Gonna hit the spot

We gonna hit that spot baby
uh-huh, uh-huh

Slide it baby....
Now slide in now move a little closer
C'mon baby, get over here
You love it when you're near 

Let's get a little funky now
Funky in the dark
Don't say no
Don't say no
Don't say a thing in the dark… 

Hit me one time!!
(horn blast)

I love the night
And I love the dark
Won't take you to no museum
Won't take you to no park

The best part of town
Don't got no lights
If you wanna get funky
Don't need to see no sights

Baby, I read you like a book
Printed in Braille
I'm gonna do everything
Prolog
Epilogue
Dialogue
I'll read the sequel
I'll read all Seven volumes
I'll read you in braille until you kill Voldemort


Slide it baby....
Move a little closer
Move a little closer, now

I like it when you're here
When you're oh so near
When you're near, gonna whisper in your ear
Somethin' flatterin' about your rear
Cause I love it when you're here

Hit me two times!!
(Two horn blasts)

Hit me again!!
Dealer voice:  That's 22!  House wins.
Yee-aiii!!!

Busted.  Hah!

The best part of town
is where you are, baby.
I mean you, plus dark, that is the best part of town
and we can get down

The best part of town
Is the darkest part of town
We get down.
I ain't no clown...

Hannah, your friends seem tough
But they've just denied all help

So think hard while you know your way home

The best place in town is also the darkest
But they can't take you down if you know where your heart is
All the angels that I know have get crooked wings
Yet are more beautiful than it seems
But if you follow the crowd, you could lose your most powerful dreams

Hannah, you've got it all
A pure and untainted soul
Hannah, it's fine to cry
I'll bet that it's not your fault

But each step from now on is your own

'Cause I know you had to leave
For the world that's at your feet
But make this one last favour to me:
Hannah, don't go

The best place in town is also the darkest
But they can't take you down if you know where your heart is
All the angels that I know have get crooked wings
Yet are more beautiful than it seems
But if you follow the crowd, you could lose your most powerful

The best place in town is also the darkest
By Ross Durand

Ain't no cover charge
I don't check id's
But kids don't come in here anyway
I keep the lights down low
So just the sheen of your eyes says what brought you here
In the first place

Ain't no security cam
Ain't much cash in the drawer
Cuz nobody tips too much in here anyway
Yer not supposed to smoke inhere
You know but i don,t care
Everybody knows It's the darkest place in town

Until you walk in
Until you walk in
And your sad eyes still have a bit of shine
But you don't talk to anyone so I can dream that you are mine
And it's the best place in town, when you walk in.

Ain,t got no dreams
Well not anymore
I think this place is the only thing I'm good for
Closin' time always comes
But until it does
The best place in town is always the darkest

Until you walk in
Until you walk in
And your sad eyes still have a bit of shine
But you don't talk to anyone so I can dream that you are mine
And it's the best place in town, when you walk in.

But i always know you'll walk out, in the end

The Best Place In Town Is Also The Darkest
by Chris Cogott

If you're looking for me
I've been here all along
Maybe you just don't know me
Anymore

Islands take a long long time
To finally reveal
What they hold
And what they truly are

The best place in town
Is also the darkest
It's where I go to be
Away from what I turned into
It's where I go to be
Go to be me

I see you look into my eyes
Its not me that you see
And you still don't understand
How you changed me

The best place in town
Is also the darkest
It's where I go to be
Away from what you turned me into
It's where I go to be
Go to be me

*The Best Place In Town Is Also the Darkest Place*

I would like to run away together.
I think we could get up to no-good.
Aren't you tired of fighting crime in this town ..?
- such a pretty night!!
There's not a tragedy in sight;
so let your ...guard down

I think I could show you all my
..... secrets.
Don't you get tired of
this .... Thing we do?
Signals in the air
Rob this bank; invade my ...Lair
- don't care anymore.
I'm tired of keeping score.

We could just could just stay home
and turn the lights down!
No one would ever have to know!
In this epic fight of Evil versus Light, sometimes
the best place in town
is the darkest place around.

[EvelBist]

Gettin' tired of waitin' and watchin'
too many miles get out of my way.
Go ahead and try and see with who you're messin'
I blew out tires – to see your lies – who am I, wild.

In the shadows waitin' down by the market.
In no time I'll swoop down there and take it.
New diamond ring you are missin'
One and one don't always mean two.
No cop will find me where I'm hidden cuz

Chorus
the best place in town (3x) is always the darkest.

Welcome guy but it looks like you're one too many.
And it sounds like my chain is about to get ready.
Call and call the 911 number
cuz you'll be wastin' time that way

What was it she was promisin' you kissin?
She only says it when I'm not around – but now I'm here.

Break

Look now at all you have cratered
I can be the one who got away.
Let's see you make it a lesson.

Chorus

The Best Place In Town Is Also The Darkest
By Merisan

There is a place I’d like to show you
a place that hasn’t got a name
Faces move in an out of shadows
and secret lovers hide away

One cigarette and I will take you
behind the curtain of a dream
imagining you’re in a movie
inside you’ll see just what I mean

Chorus
When the music starts
the conversation stops
the whiskey flows
and the lights go out
if you see things you shouldn't
you might pray for blindness
that’s why the best place in town
is also the darkest

A stolen glance across the the dancefloor
temptation draws you to your feet
the rhythm drives you to your limits
it’s just you and your heartbeat

Just for tonight we are pretending
to be somebody who is free
forgetting ourselves in the moment
where no one can see or be seen

Chorus

(accordion solo)

The Best Place in Town is Also the Darkest
by WreckdoM

Let's run off to the city dump,
and Get all covered in slime.
Making friendly with the rats and bugs,
and Housing some parasites.
We'll be finding all kinds of stuff,
We'll have such a good time,
Collecting odors and finger cuts.
I'll race you to pinkeye!

I know a place a little ways from here,
It's just a big hole in the ground,
Where all the cats and dogs disappear
That come from the city pound.
It's warm and it's soft, and it feels just right
To jump and roll around.
Everywhere there's custard and rice,
Look at all the teeth I found!

The best place in town is also the darkest,
The lord don't know and the devil may care.
The best things in life are also dangerous,
It ain't a thrill until you're scared.

Let's sneak into the sewage plant,
and Get into a mud ball fight.
Then we'll climb the slaughterhouse fence,
and Do a little slip-n-slide.
I know a jon at the bus station
with Hidden treasures inside.
Then rinse off in a downtown pond,
and Get that oily shine!

The best place in town is also the darkest,
The lord don't know and the devil may care.
The best things in life are also dangerous,
It ain't a thrill until you're scared.
The best place in town is also the darkest,
You can't wrestle life without dirty hands.
The best times of life are not of caution,
Your finest hour could be your last!

[Niveous]

???

Even the most serene streets
Have shadows where the truth can hide
And the friendly face with the gentle wave
Has kept his share of lies
The children at play
Outside of houses full of skeletons
No one misses church on Sunday
But they can't pray away the sin

I live in the nice part of town
I live in the nice part of town

Lovers have secret rendezvous
Wedding rings in table drawers
Each street is a masquerade
It hides a million flaws
Down the road they dream
Of living in such opulence
They are all fooled by the glamour
There's death behind the decadence

I live in the nice part of town
I live in the nice part of town
