Yeah, Counting Crows rule. That guy really does have some ingenius lyrics (Which is quite unexpected from him, but all the better).

I'll randomly quote some people:

Billy Corgan:

Rain falls on everyone, the same old rain
Im just trying to, walk with you,
Between the raindrops

Dragged through dirty streets, wrapped up in clean white sheets

I feel as though I am reborn, in my mind, recast as child and mysic sage,
Who wouldnt be the one you love, Who wouldnt stand inside your love
And for the first time, Im telling you how much I need and bleed for,
Your every move and waking sound, In my time, I'll wrap my wire aroudn your heart
and your mind you're mine forever now, who wouldnt be the one you love and live for Who wouldnt stand inside your love and die for
Who wouldnt be the one you, love...

Id never fail to testify,
For every single ghost on that freeway baby

Until I die, of a broken heart.

Tonight, tonight tonight, tonight!
We'll crucify the incensere tonight
We'll make it real we'll set it off
Tonight, tonight

Tell me Im the only one, tell me theres no other one
Jesus was an only son now, tell me Imthe chosen one
Jesus was an only son, for you
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage

Gavin Rossdale

Needed you more, bruised my face,
Couldnt love you more you got a beautiful taste
Dont let the days go by,
Shoulda been easier on you, you you, glycerine.
The world is a wheel, where everyone steals,
And when we rise its like strawberry fields.

I dont wanna come back down from this cloud,
taking me all this time to find out what I mean.
Shoot up, shoot up, shoot up, youuuure fine...

Warm, sun, feed me up and
Im begging for a change

Chris Cornell

In my eyes, in disposed, In disguise as noone knows,
Hides the face, Lies the snake
And sun in my disgrace
Boiling heat, summer stench,
Beneath the black the sky looks dead,
Call my name, through the cream,
AndI'll hear you scream again...
Black hole sun, wont you come
And wash away the pain

See you smile, see you smile
See you smile with your head down

Neil Young

Keep on Rocking in the Free world

Heard you knocking on my chamber door,
Oh baby can I have some more,
Oooh the damage done.

Paper boy, trying to make it work,
For the weekend.

Michael Stipe

Thats me in the corner, thats me in the spotlight, losing my religion

Andy did you hear about this one
Tell me are you caught in a trap
Andy wont you tell us about this one
Tell me are you losing touch
If you believe, they put a man on the moon

Radiohead

Fade out, again, Fade out, again
Immerse your soul, in love

You float like a feather, in a beautiful world

This ones optimistic, this one counts for nothing
This ones an alien

Pull me out, of you, pull me out, of you
Im your sun, come through
Be it your standing on the edge

Blame it on the blackstar
Blame it on the falling sky,
Blame it on the satellite
That beams me home

Bob Dylan

20 years of schoolin and they put you on the day shift
Look out kid, nomatter what you did
God knows when but youre doing it again

I better stop before I write out about 90% of Bob Dylan's lyrics.

RADIOHEAD

Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave but don't leave me
Look around and choose your own ground
For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be...
FLOYD

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again
However far away
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
I will always love you
THE CURE

'There ain't no space and time to keep our love alive, we have existence and that's all we share...'
VERVE

Your light eclipsed the moon tonight
We are only what our minds assume
The stars are the greatest thing you've ever seen and they are there for you, for you alone, you are the everything.
R.E.M.

'Everybody seems to think I'm lazy, I don't mind, I think they're crazy. Running everywhere at such a speed Till they find there's no need. Please, don't spoil my day, I'm miles away and after all I'm only sleeping'
...pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind possessing and caressing me...
THE BEATLES

I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down.
PEARL JAM

She knows the human heart and how to read the stars. Now everything's about to fall apart. I won't be the one who's going to let you down, Maybe you'll get what you want this time around. The trick is to keep breathing
I'll tell you something: I am a wolf but I like to wear sheep's clothing. I am a bonfire, I am a vampire I'm waiting for my moment.
GARBAGE

por qué me tratas tan bien, me tratas tan mal, sabés que no aprendí a vivir. A veces estoy tan bien, estoy tan down, calambres en el alma. cada cual tiene un trip en el bocho, difícil que lleguemos a ponernos de acuerdo
Si ellos son la patria, yo soy extranjero
CHARLY GARCÍA

We all shine on

Where I go I just don't know

When I find my peace of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time

Right now my favorite lyrics are all from the song All My Friends by Our Lady Peace....

All my friends
Alone on a hill
They're just looking down
With violent minds out on loan
They're just not equipped

Insistence
We hope for the best
Were not making sense in silence
Wait for the day when you're better than...

In this silence, I'm not buying
You're not faking, you're not...
I guess we better hold on

Again this time
We won't understand again
I'm not waiting for some sense
This time, we won't understand again
I'm not waiting for

Still they sit
Alone on a hill
Their mechanical thoughts have left
The out on their own
They're not buying this

In this silence, I'm not buying
You're not faking, you're not...
I guess we better hold on

Again this time
We won't understand again
I'm not waiting for some sense
This time, we won't understand again
I'm not waiting for

Some great choices here so far. So many I could put...how 'bout

"Well I hear that Laurel Canyon is full of famous stars
but I hate them worse than lepers and i'll kill them in their cars"

:o :o :o Neil Young at his most seething!

"If I could hold on
to just one thought
For long enough to know
Why my mind is moving so fast
And the conversation is slow"

"Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around."

both Neil Young

"Shes a sad tomato"

Michael Stipe

"Will I see you tonight
on a downtown train"

Tom Waits

"I could drink a case of you"

Joni Mitchell

and yep gotta hand it to ol' axel rose, love this:

"She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that
special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry"

and one more from Neil :)

"I am lonely but you can free me
All in the way that you smile"

and the awesome My Morning Jacket!

The Way That He Sings

"why's it so strange when they say that the world's movin upwards?
Why's it surreal when my hands feel they cant roll the dice?
Why's it so great just to wake every day, alive and by your side.
It's a mystery I guess, there's lots of things I cant find.
Its not the way that you look, but your move that catches my eye.
Why's it so soft when the cannons unload on the others?
Why're we so loud when we say it wont happen to us?
Why does my mind blow to bits every time they play that song?
It's just the way that he sings,
not the words that he says, or the band.
Im in love with this soul, it's a meaning that I understand."

Xmas Curtain

"hey! The Christmas curtain falls on lawbreakers
that pave the way for thoughtless folks like me and j who'd pay,
but cant afford the finer things in life so we heist them all..
we're criminals that never break the law!
So, to all you frowns go down to town square and
get some action, from the xmas girl that lives inside your womb.
She's always there I think that im certain,
you pay to get behind her Christmas curtain.
you're the criminal that never breaks the law!"

i was gonna say bullet proof by radiohead but already bn done :)
so
Here's a thought for every man
Who tries to understand what is in his hands
He walks along the open road of Love & Life
surviving if he can

Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Chained to all the places that he never wished to say
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
and as faced the sun he cast no shadow

As they took his soul they stole his pride
As they took his soul they stole his pride
As they took his soul they stole his pride

Here's a thought for every man
Who tries to understand what is in his hands
He walks along the open road of Love & Life
surviving if he can

Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Chained to all the places that he never wished to say
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
and as faced the sun he cast no shadow

As they took his soul they stole his pride
As they took his soul they stole his pride
As they took his soul they stole his pride

And as he faced the sun he cast no shadow

I have a few....

And you don't seem to understand
A shame you seemed an honest man
And all the fears you hold so dear
Will turn to whisper in your ear
And you know what they say might hurt you
And you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing

I am falling, I am fading
I have lost it all

And you don't seem the lying kind
A shame then I can read your mind
And all the things that I read there
Candle lit smile that we both share
and you know I don't mean to hurt you
But you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing

I am falling, I am fading,
I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting, I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe
-BOA

maybe i didn't like hear
but i still can't believe speed racer is dead
so then i thought i'd make some plans
but fire thought she'd really rather be water instead
-Tori Amos

In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah it's gone
And I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here I'm not here

Lateralus by Tool

Black then white are all i see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see.
as below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

Black then white are all i see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see there is so much more and
beckons me to look thru to these infinite possibilities.
as below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving opportunities behind.
Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

I embrace my desire to
I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired to fathom the power, to witness the beauty,
to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
to swing on the spiral
to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground I move myeslf between the sounds and open wide to suck it in.
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out. I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.
Spiral out. Keep going.
Spiral out. Keep going.
Spiral out. Keep going.
Spiral out. Keep going.
Spiral out. Keep going.

Cure - Pictures Of You lyrics

i've been looking so long at these pictures of
you that I almost beleive that they're real I've
been living so long with my pictures of you that
i almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel
remembering you standing quiet in the rain as
i ran to your heart to be near and we kissed as
the sky fell in holding you close how I always
held close in your fear remembering you
running soft through the night you were bigger
and brigther than the snow and
screamed at the make-beleive screamed at the
sky and you finally found all your courage to
let it all go
remembering you fallen into my arms crying
for the death of your heart you were stone
white so delicate lost in the cold you were
always so lost in the dark remembering you
how you used to be slow drowned you were
angels so much more than everything oh hold
for the last time then slip away quietly open
my eyes but I never see anything
if only I had thought of the right words I could
have hold on to your heart if only I'd thought of
the right words I wouldn't be breaking apart all
my pictures of you
Looking So long at these pictures of you but i
never hold on to your heart looking so long for
the words to be true but always just breaking
apart my pictures of you
there was nothing in the world that I ever
wanted more than to feel you deep in my heart
there was nothing in the world that I ever
wanted more than to never feel the breaking
apart all my pictures of you

Dancing Cheek to Cheek
----------------------------------
Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak;
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek.

Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
And the cares that hang around me thro' the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek.

Oh! I love to climb a mountain,
And to reach the highest peak,
But it doesn't thrill me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek.

Oh! I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek,
But I don't enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek.

Dance with me
I want my arm about you;
The charm about you
Will carry me thro' to Heaven

I'm in Heaven,
and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak;
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek.
- Fred Astaire

Such a beautiful song :)

Wash Away - Vertical Horizon (live stages version, added lyrics)

(lead vocals sang by Keith Kane)

An old man lying by the road
Black is night
He's got his finger on the trigger
An easy target in sight
He's got no future, no family tree
He's got a three dollar bottle
And he drinks 'till he can't see
All night, all night.....

A young girl waiting on a line
Eight a.m., she's got a six month old burden
Willpower's withering thin
An unwed mother beaten by her trade
Each week her welfare reminds her
Of mistakes she never made
Oh no.....

Chorus
Now what has that to say about tomorrow
What has that to show for today
Noah thought to build an ark
Before the heavens washed it all away
Away...

A baby crying through a dream
An afterthought
Mother is seething for pleasure
After the poison is bought
His eyes are tainted, staggered is his breath
Oh God, he's addicted
Addicted to death
Oh, no...

(Keith Kane singing)
Two by two they enter now,
Don't you think you'll wonder how?
Can't you see he wants you there?
Take you by your golden hair. (6x)

(Matt Scannell singing)
I know things will change
I know things get better (2x)
If I call out to you, would you lend me your hand?
Would you save me from all that I might have been? (2x)

(Keith Kane singing)
The devil came upon me, he found me on my knees.
Said, "Son, you ought to be a purer man,
If you could see my spirit, baby, flowing through the breeze,"
Said, "Life could be so very grand."
And so it shall be written, so then it shall be,
Said, "So it shall be, therefore it shall be."
So it shall be written, so then it shall be
So it shall be written, so it shall be...yeah

Noooooo, now, no
Now what has that to say about tomorrow
What has that to show for today
Noah thought to build an ark
Before the heavens washed it all away
Away

see i put "lead vocals sang by Keith Kane" because they actually have 2 lead singers, Matt Scannell sings the lead vocals in a majority of them but Keith Kane sings the lead vocals on some of them also, it depends on who writes the song.

heres one of mine
ALEX CHILTON=THE REPLACEMENTS

If he was from Venus, would he feed us with a spoon?
If he was from Mars, wouldn't that be cool?
Standing right on campus, would he stamp us in a file?
Hangin' down in Memphis all the while.

(chorus:)

Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton when he comes 'round
They sing ";I'm in love. What's that song?
I'm in love with that song.";

Cerebral rape and pillage in a village of his choice.
Invisible man who can sing in a visible voice.
Feeling like a hundred bucks, exchanging good lucks face to face.
Checkin' his stash by the trash at St. Mark's place.

(chorus)

I never travel far, without a little Big Star

Runnin' 'round the house, Mickey Mouse and the Tarot cards.
Falling asleep with a flop pop video on.
If he was from Venus, would he meet us on the moon?
If he died in Memphis, then that'd be cool, babe.

(chorus)

REM-THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT(and i feel fine)
That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and
snakes, an aeroplane and Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world
serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs. Feed
it off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength, Ladder
start to clatter with fear fight down height. Wire
in a fire, representing seven games, a government
for hire and a combat site. Left of west and coming in
a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. Team
by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped.
Look at that low playing! Fine, then. Uh oh,
overflow, population, common food, but it'll do. Save
yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs,
listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and
the revered and the right, right. You vitriolic,
patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty
psyched.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign
towers. Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself
churn. Locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood
letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate.
Light a candle, light a votive. Step down, step down.
Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh, this means no
fear cavalier. Renegade steer clear! A tournament,
tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions,
offer me alternatives and I decline.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

The other night I dreamt of knives, continental
drift divide. Mountains sit in a line, Leonard
Bernstein. Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester
Bangs. Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! You
symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right? Right.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel
fine...fine...

Oh God, I'd write 99% of Bruce Springsteen's lyrics, but there just are too many... Almost 400 songs... I'll write just few...

"...Endless juke joints and Valentine drag
Where dancers scraped the tears
Up off the street dressed down in rags
Running into the darkness
Some hurt bad, some really dying
At night sometimes it seemed
You could hear the whole damn city crying
Blame it on the lies that killed us
Blame it on the truth that ran us down
You can blame it all on me, Terry
It don't matter to me now
When the breakdown hit at midnight
There was nothing left to say
But I hated him
And I hated you when you went away
Laying here in the dark
You're like an angel on my chest
Just another tramp of hearts
Crying tears of faithlessness..."

- BACKSTREETS (This is like my favourite song, it means so much to me and my best friend... :) )

"...Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run..."

- BORN TO RUN (This is like "the" best rock'n'roll song ever written!!! Amazing!!)

Only few lines from two of his songs, if I write even a little bit more, I'm doomed, and so are you... :roll:

Heart In Hand by Vertical Horizon (original version)

I know it's been a long road
To get these towns behind me and I
Will gladly reap what we may sow I am
There for you and you're there for me

Pictures and photographs
Memories and windows
Goodbyes and epitaphs
Heartbeats and hellos

[Chorus]
Are you waiting for
Heart in hand
Woman and man
See me where I stand I am
Heart
Heart in hand

These fields may hold a hunting ground
But the wolves are far behind me and I
Hear the howls and the distant sound
Of the messengers lost at sea

Into the morning light
Followed by madness
Reach through the empty fight
Searching through sadness

[Chorus]

I know it's been a long road
To get these fears behind me and I
Will gladly reap what we may sow I am
There for you and you're there for me

Pictures and photographs
Memories and windows
Goodbyes and epitaphs
Heartbeats and hellos

[Chorus]

Clear Blue Air

Naked and faking in a poorly lit stairway
Then we were getting down on a dance floor
Oh my love where did you go?
She turned her body and soul into...

Air...I need you like Air
Water...I need you like water

I've been away for a very long time
The roads and thier refuge,
Keep you out of my mind
Arise arise, I wanna take off and drive
And throw my arms into, the clear blue...

Air...I need you like Air
Water...I need you like water

Here she comes,
Buzzing through my memory,
Here's the ghost,
Perfume trickles through the...

Air...I need you like Air
Water...I need you like water

So try, try to reach me
Even if you cant see me
I'll be around under the clear blue air

"I wish I could get my head out of the sand
Because I think we'd make a good team
And you would keep my fingernails clean.
But that's just a stupid dream that I won't realize
Cause I can't even look in your eyes
Without shakin, and I ain't fakin
I'll bring home the turkey if you bring home the bacon!"

Echoes by Floyd.

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant tide
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine
And no one showed us to the land
And no one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and
Something tries
And starts to climb towards the light
Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can
And no one calls us to the land
And no one crosses there alive
And no one speaks
And no one tries
And no one flies around the sun
And now this is the day you fall
Upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Comes streamin in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning
And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky.

I love Sigur Ros' lyrics...they really speak to me :shock:

but seriously this is the only hip hop worth a damn, the almighty beastie boys on Professor Booty :P

You've got the boomin' system but it's blasting out doo-doo
You think it's chocolate milk but it's watered down yoo-hoo
I've been through many times in which I thought I might lose it
The only thing that saved me has always been music
We've got our own studio the son of the G
It's no question life's been good to me
'Cause life ain't nothing but a good groove
A good mix tape to put you in the right mood
This one goes out to my man the groove merchant
Coming through with beats for which I've been searching
Like two sealed copies of expansions
I'm like Tom Vu with yachts and mansions
The logo I sport is the face of the monkey
Union made Ben Davis quality it's no junk see
My chrome is shining just like an icicle
I ride around town on my low-rider bicycle

I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

*U2 - with or Without you*

2) *The lyrics that are in "See You Soon" they're my signature"

My fave ones change depending on my mood really xxx

MINE IS ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN - NOTHING LASTS FOREVER

I want it now
I want it now
Not the promises of what tomorrow brings
I need to live in dreams today
I'm tired of the song that sorrow sings

And I want more than I can get
Just trying to, trying to, trying to forget

I'd walk to you through rings of fire
And never let you know the way I feel
Under skin is where I hide
The love that always gets me on my knees

And I want more than I can get
Just trying to, trying to, trying to forget

Nothing ever lasts forever

I want it now
I want it now
Don't tell me that my ship is coming in
Nothing comes to those who wait
Time's running out the door you're running in

So, I want more than I can get
Just trying to, trying to, trying to forget

Nothing ever lasts forever

All the shadows and the pain
Are coming to you...

Just fine, and to begin with
Nothing seems wrong

Sorry for the length o___O
Here it is:

I am an architect,
they call me a butcher.
I am a pioneer,
they call me primitive.
I am purity,
they call me perverted.
Holding you but I only miss these things when they leave.

I am idiot drug hive,
the virgin,
the tattered and the torn.
Life is for the cold made warm and they are just lizards.
Self disgust is self obsession honey and I do as I please,
a morality obedient only to the cleansed repented.

I am stronger than Mensa
Miller and Mailer
I spat out Plath and Pinter.
I am all the things that you regret,
a truth that washes that learned how to spell.

The first time you see yourself naked you cry,
soft skin now acne,
foul breath so broken.
He loves her truly,
this mute solitude I'm draining.
I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing.

Sleep cannot stop thoughts spinning through my mind,
shadows aren't clean
false mirrors
too many people awake.
If you stand up like a nail then you will be knocked down.
I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else.

So damn easy to cave in,
man kills everything.

Two headed Boy Pt 1- Neutral Milk Hotel

Two headed boy
all floating in glass
the sun it has past
now it's blacker than black
I can here as you tap on your jar.

And I am listening to here where you are.
I am listening to hear where you are.

Two headed boy
put on Sunday shoes
and dance round the room to accordian keys
with a needle that sings in your heart.

Catching signals that sound in the dark,
catching signals that sound in the dark

and we will take off our clothes and they'll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine
and when all is breaking
everything that you could keep inside
now your eyes ain't moving now,
they just lay there in their clouds.

Two headed boy
with pullies and weights
createing a radio played just for two
in the parlor with a moon across her face.
And through the music he sweetly displays
silver speakers that sparkle all day
made for your lover who's melting and choking with her hands across her face...

And in the dark we will take off out clothes
and they'll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine
and when all is breaking
everything that you could keep inside
now your eyes ain't moving now
they just lay there in their clouds.

Two headed boy
there's 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 where you let go...

The Entertainer - Billy Joel

I am the entertainer,
And I know just where I stand:
Another serenader,
And another long-haired band.
Today I am your champion.
I may have won your hearts.
But I know the game,
You will forget my name,
And I won't be here
In another year,
If I don't stay on the charts.

I am the entertainer,
And I've had to pay my price.
The things I did not know at first,
I learned by doin' twice.
Ah, but still they come to haunt me,
Still they want their say.
So I've learned to dance
With a hand in my pants,
And they rub my neck,
And I write 'em a check,
And they go their merry way.

I am the entertainer,
Been all around the world.
I've played all kinds of palaces,
And laid all kinds of girls.
I can't remember faces,
I don't remember names.
Ah, but what the hell,
You know it's just as well.
'Cause after a while
And a thousand miles,
It all becomes the same.

I am the entertainer,
I bring to you my songs.
I'd like to spend a day or two.
I can't stay that long.
No, I've got to meet expenses.
I got to stay in line.
Gotta get those fees
To the agencies.
And I'd love to stay,
But there's bills to pay,
So I just don't have the time.

I am the entertainer,
I come to do my show.
You've heard my latest record,
It's been on the radio.
Ah, it took me years to write it,
They were the best years of my life.
It was a beautiful song.
But it ran too long.
If you're gonna have a hit,
You gotta make it fit--
So they cut it down to 3:05.

I am the entertainer,
The idol of my age.
I make all kinds of money,
When I go on the stage.
Ah, you've seen me in the papers,
I've been in the magazines.
But if I go cold,
I won't get sold.
I'll get put in the back
In the discount rack,
Like another can of beans.

I am the entertainer,
And I know just where I stand:
Another serenader,
And another long-haired band.
Today I am your champion.
I may have won your hearts.
But I know the game,
You will forget my name,
And I won't be here
In another year,
If I don't stay on the charts.

Oh, I have so many songs that I want to post lyrics for! Here are just a few of them.

"No one laughs at God at a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war..."--Laughing With, by Regina Spektor

"Hey! Sexy boots
Get on your boots, yeah...Let me in the sound let me in the sound..."--Get On Your Boots by
U2

"I'm so lucky lucky
I'm so lucky lucky
I'm so lovely lovely"--Lucky by Lucky Twice

"My, my! Time flies, 4 guys on Abbey Road, one forgot to wear shoes..."--My, my! Time Flies by Enya

"Next train home, I've got to get home"--Next Train Home--Imogen Heap

"Heads up, hearts down, no one ever knows what started this exodus homeward bound"--Heads up, hearts down, by I Fight Dragons

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU!"--Random metal/rock song that my brother found in his guitar book

"I love the Internet, it is fun, sharing our genius with pretty much everyone..."--Internet, by Weebl

^you listen to Enya too!!! :dance:

okay, here's mine:

Enya

Anywhere Is
I walk to the horizon
and there I find another...

...I look up to the heavens
but night has clouded over
no spark of constellation
no Vela no Orion

Pax Deorum
Omnem crede diem tibi diluxisse supremum
(=Believe that each day which breaks is your last)

Marble Halls - actually, I love the whole lyric of this song
and with vows no maiden's heart could withstand,
they pledged their faith to me.

Cursum Perficio
Verbum sapienti:
quo plus habent,
eo plus cupiunt.
(=A word to the wise:
the more [people] have,
the more they want.)

Amy Winehouse

Wake Up Alone
Got so sick of crying, so just lately
When I catch myself I do a 180

What Is It 'bout Men
Emulate all the shit my mother hated
I can't help but demostrate my Freudian fate

Some Unholy War
He still stands in spite of what his scars say
I'll battle till this bitter finale

Love Is A Losing Game
Though I'm rather blind
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind
Love is a fate resigned

Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game

Just Friends
But the guilt will kill you
If she don't first

Winehouse' lyrics are just sneaky and smart, she has the gift of diction and rhymes.

I'll list more later

"Kiss me, please kiss me... kiss me out of desire baby, not consolation
Oh, and it makes me so angry 'cause I know in time, I'll only make you cry..."

"I don't believe you're leaving because me and Charles Manson like the same ice cream... I think it's that... girl. And I think there're pieces of me you've never seen... maybe she's just pieces of me you've never seen..."

Well, let's see...

Pink Floyd :

"Soon after dark, Emily cries
Gazing through trees in sorrow
Hardly a sound, till tomorrow."

"On a trip to Cirrus Minor
Saw a crater in the Sun
A Thousand miles of moonlight later"

All lyrics from The Dark Side Of The Moon

Wish You Were Here

The Thin Ice

The Fletcher Memorial Home

High Hopes

Radiohead :

"You float like a feather in a beautiful world."

"Such a pretty house
And such a pretty garden
No alarms and no surprises
Let me outta here"

"One day, I'm gonna grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useles"

"I'm sorry for us
The dinosaurs roam the earth
The sky turns green
Where I end and you begin."

"Jumped in a river, what did I see ?
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the figures I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear
Nothing to doubt."

"I'll follow you to the end
Of the world
And fall off."

"Jigsaw falling into place
Then there is nothing to explain
Regard each other as you pass
She looks back, you look back
Not just once, not just twice."

The Mars Volta :

Concertina

"Mark these words
One day this chalk outline will circle this city
Was he robbed of the asphalt
That cushioned his face ?
A room-coloured charlatan hid in the safe
Stalk the ground."

"A mass of gallon sloth/They're gonna get you
As flies have walls for feet
A rapturous verbatim/You better fight back
Someone said, but who'se to know ?
And when you find the fringe/They won't let you
The one last hit that spent you
You'll find the ossuary/You'll never find out
Spilling by the day/Yeah"

"Who brought me here ?
Forsaken, deprived and wrought with fear
Who turned it off ?
The last thing I remember now...
Who brought me here ?"

Muse

"Please don't break my ideals
Say what's fake was always real
I was the one, you're on your own
Take me back again"

"I can't remember when it was good
Moments of happiness elude
Maybe I just misunderstood
All of the love we left behind
Watching the flashbacks intertwine
Memories I will never find."

"Look through a faithless eye
Are you afraid to die ?
Cause it scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see."

And so on, especially French rap that won't interest anyone...
