You should use css for that.

Any tag (at least a lot) can have a 'background image'.

Use it like this:

<p id="imageholder">You can post some text here</p>

And the css

#imageholder {
background:#000 url(images/background.gif) repeat-x;
padding-bottom:100px;
}
//this results in text left uppercorner starting ...
//if you would set it to padding-top it would start left bottom.

Which means: the background is:
- black color;
- has a image called background.gif located in the images directory
- This image is only supposed to repeat itself in the x-direction
.....options are also: "no-repeat", "repeat-y" ... leaving it blank means both directions (default)

SORRY MISREAD THE QUESTION

...without the image being the background...

...a 'background image'...

You can change the z-index to have the text on top, and play with the positioning to get it how you want, it may be easier to use absolute positioning for this, depending on your needs.
