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?
