My favourite lyrics are usually those which convey a sense of escapism and intimacy:
'Caress the porch in whispered tones, we don't have long to be alone...' and in a similar vein: 'Do you share the rush to be alone? Come over, we'll go missing...' (Delays) Reflective, thoughtful lyrics I also have quite a soft spot for: 'Good company and grief sit like a doc leaf sits beside a stinging nettle' 'The filthy rich to the beggar's ditch, goddamn these genes' (Fionn Regan) And the damn right outrageous :'Show man the mix of the alternative It's all ammunition for the gender bend and the bedroom twist They say that the fashion's just not feminist But the sweet and the turn on sits in the laps of the girls with the balls and the hits' (IAMX) |

I LOVE that IAMX lyric, good stuff peeps exactly what i wanted!!!! x x x
imma cheat and put a couple snippets of the smae artist here, but he is a poetic genius ![]() "but these primordial waters carry a feminine agenda that no man ever taught us. true they captured and caught us, transported, sold us, and bought us. they constituted and lawed us, distorted truths that they taught us. we rebelled, then fought us. we conformed, then they formed us. Now these niggas rhyming 'bout material possessions. My adidas are three years old, like my daughter, niggas rhyme 'bout alize and need to rhyme about water." "You are God, you best believe Don't waste your time down on your knees It's everybody for themselves You have the fire and the cross Don't save your soul it's sour loss Collective soul, collective well The new wine is dying on the vine How much must you age before you're ageless?" both saul williams - if i was blick and i could rap, he'd be my idol lol (well apart from kool keith, but nobody is that cool)

Two-headed boy
There is no reason to grieve The world that you need is wrapped in gold silver sleeves Left beneath Christmas trees in the snow And I will take you and leave you alone Watching spirals of white softly flow Over your eyelids and all you did Will wait until the point when you let go from Two-Headed Boy by Neutral Milk Hotel. The lyrics on the album this song is taken from (In the Aeroplane Over the Sea) are all amazing. |

I wear this crown of thorns
upon my liar's chair full of broken thoughts I cannot repair beneath the stains of time the feelings disappear you are someone else I am still right here What have I become? my sweetest friend everyone I know goes away in the end and you could have it all my empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt Johnny Cash (ok, ok Trent Reznor) - Hurt Maybe there's a God above as for me all I ever seem to learn from love is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you. Ah but it's not a complaint that you hear tonight, it's not the laughter of someone who claims to have seen the light it's a cold and it's a very lonely Hallelujah! Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah (and can pick equally good ones from all his songs quite frankly )The daily dramas She made from nothing So nothing ever made them right She liked to push me And talk me back down Till I believed I was the crazy one And in a way I guess I was Ben Folds - Landed (very apt if you've been in a twisted relationship) |

beautiful!
One of my fave tunes and also fave lyrics is by neutral milk hotel and one day we wll die and our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea, but for now we are young let us lay in the sun and enjoy every beautiful thing we can see....... like the del amitri one too. ![]() i love this too... ole' cat stevens, hes a genius lyricist and this is just an exammple Well you've cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air. But will you keep on building higher 'til there's no more room up there? Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry? Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die? |

Counting Crows always write awesome lyrics
Anna Begins http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QShwIQ8Uy-Q My friend assures me "it's all or nothing" I am not worried, I am not overly concerned My friend implores me: "For one time only make an exeption" I am not not worried Wrap her up in a package of lies send her off to a coconut island I am not worried, I am not overly concered With the status of my emotions "Oh", She says, "You're changing." But we're always changing It does not bother me to say this isn't love Because if you don't want to talk about it then it isn't love And I guess I'm going to have to live with that But, I'm sure there's something in a shade of grey or something in between And I can always change my name if that's what you mean My friend assures me "It's all or nothing" But I am not really worried, I am not overly concerned You try to tell yourself the things you tell yourself to make yourself forget I am not worried "If it's love", she said, "then were gonna have to think about the consequences" She can't stop shaking and I can't stop touching her and..... This time when kindness falls like rain It washes her away and Anna begins to change her mind "These seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering for days" she says And I'm not ready for this sort of thing But I'm not gonna break and I'm not going to worry about it anymore I'm not gonna bend and I'm not gonna break I'm not gonna worry about it anymore It seems like I should say "as long as this is love..." But it's not all that easy so maybe I should just: Snap her up in a butter fly net and just pin her down on a photograph album I am not worried, I've done this sort of thing before But then I start to think about the consequences Because I don't get no sleep in a quiet room and... This time when kindness falls like rain It washes me away and Anna begins to change my mind And everytime she sneezes I believe it's it's love and Oh lord.... I'm not ready for this sort of thing She's talking in her sleep It's keeping me awake and Anna begins to toss and turn And every word is nonsense but I understand and Oh lord... I'm not ready for this sort of thing Her kindness bangs a gong It's moving me along and Anna begins to fade away It's chasing me away She disappears and Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing |

thats absolutely beautiful!!!!
thankyou as for beautiful stakes, my or IMHO this is the most touching, vulnerable song: sublime - mary: Maybe one breath away I'll find the words to say I'll sit and light the bong I'll hold my hit in real long I don't know if I can go up inside of you tonight Oh Mary baby, please don't fuss and fight You've heard the line before Mary, baby, please don't think I'm a bore If you come home with me Turn off the lights lock up the door and start gettin' busy I don't know if I can go so far up inside you tonight Mary, baby,please dont fuss and fihgt When we got to her pad Mary, baby, started callin' me her dad As she gave me head We could not find the damn bed Fifteen years old plus one Hotter than a microwave oven Mary, baby, daddy is comin' home sounds vulgar, but its real err.....yt: the only yt is of bradley singing it drunk and smacked out of his tits, but you can get the impression, i hope? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rIEaP9OwYk |
