Best Song Lyrics?

Valerie asked:


I’m going to college in September, and I have to come up with a personal anthology- 9 poems, 1 song lyrics. I have eight poems, anyone have any favourite poems? Or better still, what good song lyrics are there? I have a few ideas, but none that really stand out.

U2- Some times you can’t make it on your own
Beverley Knight- Remember Me
Maybe some Eric Clapton stuff?

Any ideas?
It doesn’t need to be a specific genre of song or anything, but the lyrics have to mean something.

I’m kinda old school, folky, hippy type but my fav lyrics ever are John Prine’s, “Hello In There.”
We had an apartment in the city,
Me and loretta liked living there.
Well, it’d been years since the kids had grown,
A life of their own left us alone.
John and linda live in omaha,
And joe is somewhere on the road.
We lost davy in the korean war,
And i still don’t know what for, don’t matter anymore.

Chorus:
Ya’ know that old trees just grow stronger,
And old rivers grow wilder ev’ry day.
Old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say, “hello in there, hello.”

Me and loretta, we don’t talk much more,
She sits and stares through the back door screen.
And all the news just repeats itself
Like some forgotten dream that we’ve both seen.
Someday i’ll go and call up rudy,
We worked together at the factory.
But what could i say if asks “what’s new?”
“nothing, what’s with you? nothing much to do.”

Repeat chorus:

So if you’re walking down the street sometime
And spot some hollow ancient eyes,
Please don’t just pass ‘em by and stare
As if you didn’t care, say, “hello in there, hello.”

I’d say because you’re starting college and going out on your own, I think “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac would be perfect. Or if you really want like a deep meaning I’d say something like “Imagine” by John Lennon.

When you walk through a storm
hold your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky

And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho’ your dreams be tossed and blown.

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone,
You’ll never, ever walk alone.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart

And you’ll never walk alone,
You’ll never, ever walk alone.

I choose….
the sharpest lives by my chemical romance. Its awesome!!!!

Well it rains and it pours
When you’re out on your own
If I crash on the couch
Can I sleep in my clothes?
‘Cause I’ve spent the night dancing
I’m drunk, I suppose
If it looks like I’m laughing
I’m really just asking to leave

This alone, you’re in time for the show
You’re the one that I need
I’m the one that you loathe
You can watch me corrode like a beast in repose
‘Cause I love all the poison
Away with the boys in the band

I’ve really been on a bender and it shows
So why don’t you blow me a kiss before she goes?

Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me

There’s a place in the dark where the animals go
You can take off your skin in the cannibal glow
Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands
Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands, Romeo

I’ve really been on a bender and it shows
So why don’t you blow me a kiss before she goes?

Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me

Oh!

Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me

Oooooo, Oooooo, Oooooo yeah, Oooooo

Intruder Alert by Lupe Fiasco.
the song’s about three people a **** victim, a drug addict and the father of an illegal immigrant

She said there was no love in her heart,
Cause one day a ****** attacked her and broke that all apart,
She said there was no way to fix it or to cover her scars,
Then one day a guy came along and probably could help her start,
He was sincere, made her believe it was safe for her to trust again,
Before long she was cool with giving hugs to him,
Knew that it was right, cause something was wrong,
The alarms in her mind didn’t tell her he didn’t belong,
There was no,

Intruder, [x4]
Alert [x4]

He said nobody else ever loved him,
That’s why he’d get high enough to go touch the heavens above him,
Vividly remembers every pipe, every needle that stuck him,
Every alley he ever slept in, every purse that he snuck in,
Every level of hell he’s been to and the one that he’s stuck in,
The one he can’t escape, even though it’s of his own construction,
Maybe you can relate, maybe you’re one of those that just doesn’t,
Maybe he doesn’t care, loves to allow these demons to come in with no,

Intruder, [x4]
Alert [x4]

Famine striking his home, landing no social standing,
In the econmic pecking order of emergency relief distribution systems,
Is in disorder, he’s checking water, making sure it’s safe enough for his daughter,
To float across in the boat he built, hopefully strong enough to support her,
Praying border patrols don’t catch her and process and deport her,
Before she reach the shore of the land of the free, where they feed you,
Treat you like equals, decieve you, stamp you and call you illegal,
and there’s an,

Intruder, [x4]
Alert [x4]

Any Lil’ Wayne song

Even if you don’t like rap music, you have to admire the lyrical masterpieces by Lil’ Wayne

He is one of the best and smartest lyricist out there

He uses similes, metaphors, satire, and every other literary element in his songs

He makes rap actually worth something. Cause a lot of people say rap is just crap and stuff like that, but he makes it actually educated and makes sense out of everything

Keep singing with me
Keep singing
Thats the way it goes
Keep Going
Keep Moving On
Keep Moving On

I’m just a little sour
While your still sweet
Thought this love would be ours
Turns out I was wrong
Keep Moving On

LOVE THAT SONG!!!!!!

Our bands song! We just got a record deal!!!!!!

i love the lyrics to only hope
Sing to me the song of the stars.
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again.
When it feels like my dreams are
so far, sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again.

i think they are so sweet like your trusting someone with your life

and miracles happen
You showed me faith is not blind
I don’t need wings to help me fly
Miracles happen, once in a while
When you believe
You showed me dreams come to light
That takin a chance on us was right
All things will come with a little time
When You believe
its just saying that you have to believe to make yourself happy if you dont then theres no point in wanting right?

and its a heart ache by bonnie tyler

Best Song Lyrics?

Mak W asked:


What is a good part of a song? Something that speaks to you?

Her Green plastic watering can
For her fake chinese rubber plant
In fake plastic earth.
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plants
Just to get rid of itself.
And It Wears Her Out, it wears her out
It wears her out, it wears her out.
This one is good. It is called Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead. I also really like Common’s lyrics.

but what are your favorite lyrics?

Ahh, so many to choose.
One is the whole song: Behind Blue Eyes by The Who

Lyrics:
No one knows what it’s like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

No one knows what it’s like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

But my dreams
They aren’t as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That’s never free

No one knows what it’s like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you

No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through

But my dreams
They aren’t as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That’s never free

When my fist clenches, ***** it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool

And if I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm; let me wear your coat

No one knows what it’s like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We’re all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night

river of dreams- billy joel

set sail to sea but pulled off course by the light of golden treasure
how could he know this new dawns light would change his life forever
how could i be lost
if i’ve got nowhere to go
search for seas of gold
how come its got so cold
how could i be lost
in rememberance i relive
so how could i blame you when its me i cant forgive

this is The Unforgiven III by Metallica
