I'm not a big lyrics guy. For me, it is like 10% of the listening experience. Icing on the cake. But them some lines you hear and just have to hear them again, yes? For me, here are three recents. "I miss my mom and dad for this?" -Fun, Some Nights "But your boys have grown soft, and your girls have gone wild." -Battle Born, The Killers "And now I'm drunker than before they told me drinking doesn't make me nice." -Passion Pit, Constant Conversations Go!

"You'll never lose you're mind As long as you're heart always reminds you Where you left it And don't ever let them make you feel Like saying what you want is unbecoming If you were supposed to watch you're mouth All the time, I doubt you're eyes would be above it So I'll meet you at the bottom If there really is one, they always told me When you hit it you'll know it But I've been falling so long It's like gravity's gone and I'm just floating"

Too many to list, as i think lyrics and music are inseparable. But here are four of my all time favorites:
quote:
A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made Finds a streetlight steps out of the shade Says something like you and me babe how about it? Juliet says hey it's Romeo, you nearly gimme me a heart attack He's underneath the window she's singing hey la my boyfriend's back You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that Anyway what you gonna do about it? Juliet the dice were loaded from the start And I bet and you exploded in my heart And I forget I forget the movie song When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?
quote:
Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face Do You Realize - we're floating in space - Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know You realize that life goes fast It's hard to make the good things last You realize the sun doesn't go down It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
quote:
People are strange when you're a stranger Faces look ugly when you're alone Women seem wicked when you're unwanted Streets are uneven when you're down When you're strange Faces come out of the rain When you're strange No one remembers your name When you're strange
quote:
All that you touch And all that you see All that you taste All you feel And all that you love And all that you hate All you distrust All you save And all that you give And all that you deal And all that you buy Beg, borrow or steal And all you create And all you destroy And all that you do And all that you say And all that you eat And everyone you meet And all that you slight And everyone you fight And all that is now And all that is gone And all that's to come And everything under the sun is in tune But the sun is eclipsed by the moon There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark.
And the entire song Some Girls by The Rolling Stones And The Times They Are A-Changin, especially this part:
quote:
Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won't come again And don't speak too soon For the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who That it's namin' For the loser now Will be later to win For the times they are a-changin'. Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call Don't stand in the doorway Don't block up the hall For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled There's a battle outside And it is ragin' It'll soon shake your windows And rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin'.
I could go on for days in this discussion. And i plan to come back later

The theme of the party was the Industrial Age... so you came dressed as a train wreck. She crashed into the Easter mass With her hair done up in broken glass She was limping left on her broken heels When she said, "Father, can I tell your congregation how a resurrection really feels?" Well the kids as the shows They'll have kids of their own And their sing a long songs will be our scriptures I was seeing double for 3 straight days after I got born again It felt strange but it was nice and peaceful. It really pleased me to be around so many people. Of course half were just visions But half of them were friends from going through the program with me. Later on we did some sexy things. Took a couple photographs and carved them into wood reliefs. But that's enough about me. Tell me how you got down here into Ybor City? Killer parties almost killed me.

to me, it's the most important part. i could go on all day with favorite lyrics, lyrics that resonate, etc., but i will leave you with three selections
quote:
And you run and you run To catch up with the sun But it's sinking Racing around To come up behind you again The sun is the same In a relative way But you're older Shorter of breath And one day closer to death
time, floyd
quote:
I love you more than can I tell you, When you pass through from this world, I hope you ask to take me with you So I don't have to wait for long But until then I'll be with you through the dark, And until then I'll be with you through the dark Who else can say that about you, baby Who else can say that about you, now Who else can take all your blood and your curses Nobody I've seen a hanging around Seen a hanging around

quote:
If Heaven and Hell decide That they both are satisfied Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you When your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark
i will follow you into the dark, death cab for cutie

That whole song speaks to me. And then the one day you find Ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run You missed the starting gun

Once in a while you get shown the light In the strangest of places if you look at it right. The Grateful Dead - Scarlet Begonias Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed, when the ocean met the sky. You missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye. When the earth folded in on itself. And said "Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath." The more we move ahead the more we're stuck in rewind. Modest Mouse- The ocean breathes salty A lot of Modest Mouse songs tend to have lyrics that hit a chord every time i listen to them

Well, these lyrics hit me one time but not in a particularly good way. I saw this band one time, don't remember the name but they were kind of a Lynyrd Skynyrd wannabe band. The lyric was something like this: Skinny dippin' in the Chattahoochee Got my fanger in yer sister's coochie Now on the other side of the coin, for some reason I was struck by these Steely Dan lyrics in the song Caves of Altamira. Before the fall When they wrote it on the wall And there wasn't even any Hollywood They heard the call And they wrote it on the wall For you and me and we understood He's talking about ancient humans living in caves and painting the things that were important to them on the cave walls. Odd subject for a song but that's the Dan for you.
