Amazing Lyrics in Songs.
For every yin there must be a yang.
And so since we've been mocking lyrical failures, lets celebrate the opposite. Amazing lyrics, funny, witty, moving, meaningfull, inspiring whatever. Words from songs that are good. |

"I know I'm young but if I had to choose her or the sun, I'd be one nocturnal son of a gun." Gym Class Heroes - Cupid's Chokehold.
I think that's genius to be honest, so witty and clever. |

The right to be ridiculous is something I hold dear.
U2 - I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight. I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW! Kelis - Caught Out There. I may have made it rain, Please forgive me, My weakness caused you pain, And this song is my sorry. Britney Spears - Everytime. From the Queen of England to the Hounds of Hell! The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army. My shadow's the only one who walks beside me, My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating. Green Day - Boulevarde Of Broken Dreams. They're the most recent lines, anyway.

I love this lyric because everyone can relate to it one way or another:
And all the best lies, They are told with fingers tied" Feeling Sorry - Paramore |

Some people have to learn, some people wait there turn some people but not me, I was born a champion. Some people have to fight, some people give their lives.. some people don't believe, but I was born a champion
I believe life is a prize, but to live doesn't mean you're alive Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week WHY IS EVERYTHING WITH U SO COMPLICATEEEEEED!? just because I'm feeling this song now,

These:
I read the news today, oh boy . . . About a lucky man who made the grade; And though the news was rather sad, Well, I just had to laugh— I saw the photograph . . . He blew his mind out in a car; He didn't notice that the lights had changed. A crowd of people stood and stared; They'd seen his face before; Nobody was really sure If he was from the House of Lords. I saw a film today, oh boy; The English Army had just won the war. A crowd of people turned away; But I just had to look, Having read the book. I'd love to turn you on . . . Woke up, fell out of bed, Dragged a comb across my head; Found my way downstairs and drank a cup; And looking up, I noticed I was late. Found my coat and grabbed my hat, Made the bus in seconds flat; Found my way upstairs and had a smoke; Somebody spoke and I went into a dream . . . I read the news today, oh boy; Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire; And though the holes were rather small, They had to count them all. Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall. I'd love to turn you on . . . A Day in the Life, the Beatles |

I must have left my house at 8, because I always do
The train, I'm certain left the station just when it was due... Perfectly evocative of what it's trying to encapsulate. |

Anyone who doubts Gaga's talent, I ask you to listen to this song and be proven very wrong.

"They heard me singing and they told me to stop.
Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock." Sprawl II: Mountains Beyond Mountains In fact, all of that song. In fact, all of Arcade Fire's lyrics. Goddam they're beautiful. |

Why fear death?
Be scared of living Our hearts are small and ever thinning There is no hope ever of winning So why fear death? Be scared of living Speak minds handed down to you By the lies handed down by your truth Your angels that dance at your will Will mask your scrambling youth Once I wanted to be the greatest TWO FISTS OF SOLID ROCK WITH BRAINS THAT COULD EXPLAIN Any feeling Lower me down PIN ME IN Secure the grounds FOR THE LEAD AND THE DREGS OF MY BED I'VE BEEN SLEEPING For the later parade |

"Now, the world can be an unfair place at times,
But you lows will have their complement of highs, And if anyone should cheat you, Take advantage of or beat you, Raise your head and wear your wounds with pride. Stick up for yourself son. Never mind what anybody else done" Yeasayer - Ambling Alp. |
