It just melts me.



THIS. That's one of my favourite moments in any song. It melts my heart. UATW is just....

Simply brilliant!



YEAH!

Both HLH and Charlie Brown have spotlessly great lyrics now that I hear them all.

I stole a key,
I took a car downtown,
To where the lost boys meet,
I took what they offered me,
To set me free. (>^__^)>

Both of these are my favourites. Along with:

And if we could float away, fly up to the surface and just start again and lift up before trouble just erodes of in the rain.
&
You could have been a princess, I'd be a king. You could had a castle and wore a ring but no, you let me go.
&
You could them climbing the stairs. I got my right side fighting while my left hides under the chairs.

Edit: Oh, and I forgot "In my heart you left a hole" & "I'd rather be a comma than a full stop. Maybe I'm in the black. Maybe I'm on my knees. Maybe I'm in the gap between the two trapezes."

"and lift off before troubles just erode us in the rain" - UATW. That song is just filled with great lyrics, and the way Chris sings that part, amazing.

The best lyric of any of the new songs is easily from Charlie Brown;

"My scarecrow dreams
When they smash my heart into smithereens
I'll be a bright red rose combusting the concrete
Be a cartoon heart
Light a fire, light a spark
Light a fire, a flame in my heart
We'll run wild
We'll be glowing in the dark"

In general I appreciate the new lyrics very much and in every new song there are some little parts which are genius in my opinion. Most of them are named but I want to admit the line:

As we saw...ohoh...this light, I swear you, emerge blinking into to tell me it's allright.

Theese are my favorites

''And I heard it on the radio that one day we'll be living in the stars
And I heard it on a TV show that somewhere up above and in my heart

They'll be tearing us apart, maybe moving us to mars
Past the satellites and stars, maybe moving us to mars
We won't see the earth again in these seconds just remain unchanged
''

''Light a fire from a spark
Light a fire, a flame in my heart
We’ll run wild
We’ll be glowing in the dark
''

And

''And if we could float away
Fly up to the surface and just start again
And lift off before trouble just erodes us in the rain
Just erodes us in the rain
Just erodes us, just erodes us in the rain''

I really like the "light a fire" part in Charlie Brown and the "raise the flag" part in Teardrop. Both are just great moments the way they are built up to.

The lyrics of ETIAW just do not fit at all. When they released the first part of the lyrics bit by bit I thought 'ok - yeah that's fine' but I was not expecting them to be sung in a dance beat manner!

I think the best lyrics go to Charlie Brown

'my scarecrow dreams
when they smashed my heart into smithereens
I'll be a bright red rose combusting the concrete'

I like this from MTM as well

'Somewhere up above the stars
the wreckage of a universe floats by'

When you
Use your heart as a weapon
It hurts like heaven
