Best (or great) Song Lyrics.... (1 Viewer)

Well, won't you lend your lungs to me?
Mine are collapsing
Plant my feet and bitterly breathe
Up the time that's passing.
Breath I'll take and breath I'll give
Pray the day ain't poison
Stand among the ones that live
In lonely indecision.

Fingers walk the darkness down
Mind is on the midnight
Gather up the gold you've found
You fool, it's only moonlight.
If you try to take it home
Your hands will turn to butter
You better leave this dream alone
Try to find another.

Salvation sat and crossed herself
Called the devil partner
Wisdom burned upon a shelf
Who'll kill the raging cancer
Seal the river at it's mouth
Take the water prisoner
Fill the sky…

 
This is my favorite lyric of all time:

And if California slides into the ocean
Like the mystics and statistics say it will
I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill

Don't the sun look angry through the trees
Don't the trees look like crucified thieves
Don't you feel like Desperados under the eaves
Heaven help the one who leaves

Magic Power - Triumph

Something's at the edge of your mind
You don't know what it is
Something you were hoping to find 
But you're not sure what it is
Then you hear the music 
And it all comes crystal clear
The music does the talking
Says the things you want to hear

[Chorus]

I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free
I've got the magic power of the music in me

I love how the chorus changes slightly the next time it comes up, after a verse about a girl listening to the radio waiting for a song (who does that anymore! ;)  )

She's young now, she's wild now, she wants to be free
She gets the magic power of the music from me

saw Rik Emmett in concert in Triumph and 2 man acoustic 8 times. Couldn't hit those crazy high notes in the last years, but can still bring it on guitar

 
My daddy didn't pull out

But he never apologized

Rock and roll means well

But it can't help telling young boys lies

 
You get the car, I'll get the night off
You'll get the chance to take the world apart
And figure out how it works
Don't let me know what you find out

I need a car, you need a guide, who needs a map?
If I don't die or worse, I'm gonna need a nap
At best I'll be asleep when you get back

I wanna see it when you find out what comets, stars, and moons are all about
I wanna see their faces turn to backs of heads and slowly get smaller
I wanna see it now
I wanna see it now

I want specifics on the general idea
I wanna think what I should know
I want you to do me what to show

I wanna see the movies of my dreams
I wanna see the movies of my dreams
I wanna see the movies of my dreams
I wanna see the movies of my dreams

I wanna see it when you get stoned on a cloudy breezy desert afternoon
I wanna see it untame itself and break its owner
I wanna see it now
I wanna see it now

 
This is what I vow;
He shall have my heart to keep,
Sweetly will we stir and sleep,
All the years, as now.
Swift the measured sands may run;
Love like this is never done;
He and I are welded one:
This is what I vow.

This is what I pray:
Keep him by me tenderly;
Keep him sweet in pride of me,
Ever and a day;
Keep me from the old distress;
Let me, for our happiness,
Be the one to love the less:
This is what I pray.

This is what I know:
Lovers' oaths are thin as rain;
Love's a harbinger of pain-
Would it were not so!
Ever is my heart a-thirst,
Ever is my love accurst;
He is neither last nor first:
This is what I know.

I think we could add a number of Townes Van Zandt songs to this thread.

 
She's been a bad girl
She's like a chemical
Though you try to stop it
She's like a narcotic
You wanna torture her
You wanna talk to her
All the things you bought for her
Could not get a temperature

 
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

 
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list
He's checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
And he knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

 
The pictures tell the story
This life has many shades
I'd wake up every morning and before I'd start each day
I'd take a drag from last night's cigarette
That smoldered in it's tray
Down a little something and then be on my way

 
Getadelt wird, wer Schmerzen kennt
Vom Feuer, das die Haut verbrennt
Ich werfe ein Licht
In mein Gesicht
Mein heißer Schrei
Feuer frei

Bang bang
Bang bang

Geadelt ist, wer Schmerzen kennt
Vom Feuer, das in Lust verbrennt
Ein Funkenstoß
In ihren Schoß
Ein heißer Schrei
Feuer frei

Bang bang
Bang bang

Feuer frei

Bang bang
Bang bang
Feuer frei

 
No, there's nothin' you can send me, my own true love
There's nothin' I'm wishin' to be ownin'
Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled 
From across that lonesome ocean...

Oh, I got a letter on a lonesome day
It was from her ship a-sailing
Saying "I don't know when I'll be comin' back again
It depends on how I'm feelin'"

If you my love must think that way
I'm sure your mind is roaming
I'm sure your thoughts are not with me 
But the country to where you're going

So take heed take heed of the western winds
Take heed of the stormy weather
And yes, there's something you can send back to me
Spanish boots of Spanish leather 

 
"we can't even think of a word that rhymes" "she had a west coast strut that was sweet as molasses"  are a few lyrics I like.

Skin Deep

Buddy Guy

I've been around a while
I know wrong from right
And since a long time ago
Things been always black and white
Just like you can't judge a book by the cover
We all gotta be careful
How we treat one another

Skin Deep
Skin Deep
Underneath we're all the same
Skin Deep
Skin Deep
Underneath we're all the same
We're all of the same

A man in Louisiana
He never called me by my name
He said "boy do this and boy do that"
But I never once complained
I knew he had a good heart
But he just didn't understand
That I needed to be treated
Just like any other man

Skin Deep
Skin Deep
Underneath we're all the same

Skin Deep
Skin Deep
Underneath we're all the same
We're all of the same

I sat my little child down
When he was old enough to know
I said I fell in this big wide world
You're gonna meet all kinds of folks
I said son it all comes down to just one simple rule
That you treat everybody just the way
You want them to treat you
Yeah

Skin Deep
Skin Deep
Underneath we're all the same
Skin Deep
Skin Deep
Underneath we're all the same
We're all of the same
Skin Deep
Underneath we're all the same
Skin Deep
Skin Deep
Underneath we're all the same
We're all of the same
Yeah
