Need another music thread right? Actually pretty sure we've done this one already, probably multiple times. Anyways...

"Lay down with me Barbara, underneath the candelabra."

That's pure poetry there.

Guess who it is and post your own.

 
Guess for me that's not an option, can't say that with more clarity.
Me going legit would be like Jar Jar in speech therapy.

 
Whole life trying to quiet 'em down
Like a suicide king with a knife in his crown
Hounds at bay, but they just won't stay
True friendship in a tugboat way

 
Lady Madonna, baby at your breast
Wonders how you manage to feed the rest

See how they run...[edit more brilliance...]
Thursday night your stockings needed mending
See how they run

 
3 best Nirvana songs thread brought this one to mind

Just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean they’re not after you.

true credit goes to Joseph Heller, but still love it in the context of Territorial Pissings

 
The King of this thread and of America, Elvis Costello. To wit:

He thought he was the King of America
Where they pour Coca Cola just like vintage wine
[...edit more brilliance...]

She said that she was working for the ABC News
It was as much of the alphabet as she knew how to use

 
More Elvis:

It's the way your shoulders shake and what they're shaking for
It's knowing that he knows you now after only guessing
I want you
It's the thought of him undressing you or you undressing

 
Shimmy shimmy ya, shimmy yam, shimmy yay
Gimme the mic so I can take it away
Off on a natural charge, Bon Voyage
Yeah, from the home of the dodgers, Brooklyn squad

 
####### with me 'cause I'm a teenager
with a little bit of gold and a pager
Searching my car, looking for the product
Thinking every ##### is selling narcotics

 
This one deserves the whole song.

This speech is my recital, I think it's very vital
To rock (A rhyme), that's right (On time)
It's Tricky is the title, here we go

It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time
It's Tricky, it's Tricky (Tricky) Tricky (Tricky)
It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time
It's tricky, tricky (Tricky) tricky

I met this little girlie, her hair was kinda curly
Went to her house and bust her out, I had to leave real early
These girls are really sleazy, all they just say is please me
Or spend some time and rock a rhyme, I said "It's not that easy"

It's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time
It's tricky (How is it D?) It's tricky (Tricky) tricky (Tricky)
It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time
It's tricky tricky (Tricky) tricky

In New York the people talk and try to make us rhyme
They really (hawk) but we just (walk) because we have no time
And in the city it's a pity 'cause we just can't hide
Tinted windows don't mean nothin', they know who's inside

It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time
It's tricky (How is it D?) Tricky (Tricky) Tricky (Tricky)
It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time
It's tricky tricky (Tricky) Tricky (Tricky) huh!

When I wake up people take up mostly all of my time
I'm not singin', phone keep ringin' 'cause I make up a rhyme
I'm not braggin', people naggin' 'cause they think I'm a star
Always tearin' what I'm wearin', I think they're goin' too far
A girl named Carol follows Daryll every gig we play
Then D dissed her and dismissed her, now she's jockin' Jay
I ain't lyin', girls be cryin' 'cause I'm on TV
They even bother my poor father 'cause he's down with me

It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time
It's tricky (How is it?) Tricky (Tricky) Tricky (Tricky)
It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time
It's tricky, tricky (Tricky) Tr
We are not thugs (We don't use drugs) but you assume (On your own)
They offer coke (And lots of dope) but we just leave it alone
It's like that y'all (Y'all), but we don't quit
You keep on (Rock!) shock! 'cause this is it

 
Attempts to extinguish me don't even bother me none
Like ######(R-tarded) kids throwin' ice cubes at the sun

lot of good stuff in here like Wu and Tool. hate to be the "get off my lawn" guy, can't imagine there will be more than a couple of songs mentioned from the last 15 years. lyrics have gone waay down, it is like so many people have nothing to say. 

to add with some of the mentioned above, Rage Against the Machine deserves some shout outs:

for quick wit from Freedom:

" It's set up like a deck of cards, They're sending us to early graves
For all the diamonds, They'll use a pair of clubs to beat the spades"

to something like from Darkness:

Ya cram ya culture down my throat
Say I'm inferior when I find that I choke
Ya fill my mind with a false sense of history
And then you wonder why I have no identity?
Well I'll strike a match and a passion, Spread the insight we need
A tiny fire, burning bright
Shedding light on the darkness of greed

Tool's song Eulogy, which is about L. Ron Hubbard, has clever lyrics IMO.

I think it's better to listen to it while reading the lyrics instead of me copying and pasting them into this post, so... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll8oQ3TinTU

I was going to post Lateralus by Tool. The lyrics and musical signature of the song are performed utilizing the Fibonacci sequence— which in turn relates to the meaning of the song.

Another couple of rap lyrics that I always thought were damn clever...

Eminem: "Like a #### you for Christmas, my gift is a curse"

Lil Wayne: "Real G's move in silence like lasagna"

Either Sinatra or the Darkness.

 
The Game - Ali Bomaye

You mad 'cause your daughter f--k with me on spring break,

Well, I'ma f--k her til the springs break.  

 
Had a love affair with Nina

in the back of my Cortina

A seasoned-up Hyena

Could not have been more obscener

--Ian Dury-- 

Rock and roll's most accomplished potty-mouth

 
Next thing I know, I'm in a foreign land
People talkin' so fast, I couldn't understand
There was nobody there to lend a helping hand
I was cold, it was dark where is a burger stand

 
A couple from WZ that popped into my head right away, 

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

Big gorilla at the L.A. Zoo
Snatched the glasses right off my face
Took the keys to my BMW
Left me here to take his place

I love the rhyme of Zoo and BMW So clever ,

I wish the ape a lot of success

I'm sorry my apartment's a mess

Most of all I'm sorry if I made you blue

I'm bettin' the Gorilla will too

They Say Jesus will find you wherever you go

But when he'll come looking for you they don't know

In the meantime keep your profile low

Gorilla, you're a desperado

 
Chickity China the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin X-Files with no lights on,
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford I'm getting Frantic
Like Sting I'm Tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy

 
came in here for some thought provoking and poetic lyrics.... but it's mostly just a bunch of gibberish.

Incubus - Idiot Box

T.V., what do I need? 
Tell me who to believe! 
What's the use of autonomy 
when a button does it all? 

 
Silversun Pickups 

So we all
Are growing old
And it's getting old

Pressure on
Our hollow bones
And the varicose

Suddenly
We decompose
But we're not alone

So we all
Are growing old
 

 
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
