Talking Write your own Manics song... sort of...

The other day I was reading a BBC news article (http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/articl...rom-a-computer) about how a predictive text bot ''wrote'' a new Harry Potter chapter based on commonly used words and phrases in the books. Naturally, I checked out the website, and discovered you could write song lyrics in the style of certain artists (among other things) or upload a .txt file for source material
So I copied a load of Manics song lyrics into Notepad and saved them as a .txt file, and uploaded them to the site.

So allow me to present to you:
INSTA-MANICS 4000!
Creator of such classics as "I Am The Raping Sunglass Gaze"

INSTA-MANICS LYRICS: http://botnik.org/apps/writer/?sourc...bf6fa4fbfd65da
INSTA-MANICS TITLES: http://botnik.org/apps/writer/?sourc...3a819e276a3257

Have fun.

It's fun
I haven't come up with anything decent yet, though.

Enjoy

For dead desires of fortune

The love between our smiles
The fragments crawling by your eyes
You can't give them all
You can't leave and mourn

So when you're alone forever
And all the false delight whispers
Remember all those tears inside
Will give you strenght
Will give you strenght

Sweet Paralysed Future Dead

The love we'll suffer watching over
so messed up and dangerous
but it's never enough
just cheap desire under our sheets

Inhale the anxiety in my bed
the sun burns into my eyes
and if you want to feel small and i'm tired
you can buy a sex pistol

Sweet like the quick man fucks
yet your love imperial like the godfather
transgenic milk is my epicentre
blockades won't be the blade

I wouldn't be wholly surprised to find that on an album.

I loved that Harry Potter Chapter when I read about it the other day... this is a great idea.

The dancefloor of the inky socialist

The film of richard has lost her muscle
so i've been reading rattling roses
this one's malcontent messages politicians
and then your brain is nothing sterile

your memory lane has my eyes
your memory lane has my mind
your memory lane has my eyes
your memory lane has my jam

the future got more dye
we don’t say may you stay
it reads like honey piped on shadows
but now you hear only 16 small black ruins

lizards in bunches had another moment
'cos the same dumb moment hangs in the rain
when all your face is nothing nice
we never felt more human than the future teaches butcher's lamb lectures

yourself and yourself and yourself and yourself and yourself
the hating will never be your hair
the hating will never be your hair
so take this song to smack your hair
i'm not even german

Yes be bored with the dog

The storm of doggy germs
you stole a photograph
and then we tried to understand
the world wide ryvita

i am so much fun
you were watching labradors
and did we ever know
the xerox of my worms

wolves are just the same
wolves are just the same
i don't know what teletext will bring
so why do i look like a moth

a sad laminated salmon in my kitchen
pigeons are the things that we can drink
so when you hear my face
the year is not a tree

This is good!*

The sun of fortune is vanity
Hospitals and lonely bones
i am stronger in my mind
all washed up with unknown forces
but everything is getting blurred
and all we know is over

i'm just another distant cry
it's too much to feel
crushed with colossal delusion
pissing power recover birth
and all we know is over

Leave the dancefloor to the masses
You want to dream and drop
so natural and so unforgiving
wired with unknown souls
bypass your meaning

when did you decide
to carry this unfaithful hope
this sullen veneer will surely fade
and you will never shine

you want to dream and rise
but trust must hold until it pays
all your heroes offer counterfeit fragments
and you will never shine


*the generator, not my versions!

For The Dead People (I Never Wanted To Bury)

invisible stars endless empty dying stains
all fucked up like a liberal landscape
who would you choose to obey in this eternity
I'm the only dog who sees the grace in this joke

content to be god i will sleep and then decay
love rains with debts and lonely eyes
close my mind shadows and failures all relics
this century of change has destroyed my fantasy

my head down or just out of date
oh what a place, a sigh of hate
i'll still stand alone to repel the future
and then i can feel like it won't be next

content to be god i will sleep and then decay
love rains with debts and lonely eyes
close my mind shadows and failures all relics
this century of change has destroyed my fantasy

fatal crowds are shut inside
all my cares are brutalised
