    I've posted this somehwere before... but this entire song is has my favorite lyircs ever. It's by Pink Floyd and the song is "Wish You Were Here"

    So, so you think you can tell
    Heaven from Hell,
    Blue skys from pain.
    Can you tell a green field
    From a cold steel rail?
    A smile from a veil?
    Do you think you can tell?

    And did they get you to trade
    Your heros for ghosts?
    Hot ashes for trees?
    Hot air for a cool breeze?
    Cold comfort for change?
    And did you exchange
    A walk on part in the war
    For a lead role in a cage?

    How I wish, how I wish you were here.
    We're just two lost souls
    Swimming in a fish bowl,
    Year after year,
    Running over the same old ground.
    What have we found?
    The same old fears.
    Wish you were here

    Gimme the beat boys, and free my soul.
    I want to get lost in your rock and roll,
    and drift away.

    I love: My parents just don't get me you know. they think I'm gay just because they saw me kiss a guy. well, a couple of guys. but I mean, it's the 2000s. can't 2, or 4 dudes make-out with each other without being gay. I mean, chicks dig that kind of thing anyways. I don't know diary, sometimes I think you're the only one that gets me, you're my best friend. . . . I feel like tacos. From I must be emo. I just think its so funny, because it's so true!

    Fourth Time Around, by Bob Dylan- She said "No dear" I said "Your words are not clear, you'd better spit out your gum."
    And she screamed so loud that her face turned red and she fell on the floor, so I covered her up and I went and I went and I looked through her drawer.
    And, when I was through, I filled up my shoe, and I brought it to you.
    Pure genius! Especialy the way he sings it.

    The screen door slams
    Mary's dress waves
    Like a vision she dances across the porch
    As the radio plays ...

    They scream your name at night in the street
    Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
    And in the lonely cool before dawn
    You hear their engines roaring on
    But when you get to the porch they're gone
    On the wind, so Mary climb in
    It's a town full of losers
    And I'm pulling out of here to win.

    Its a toss up between the three great roxk star poets:

    "Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine..." - Patti Smith.

    "Why pamper life's complexities when the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat?" -The Smiths. (I think if someone who'd never been here wanted to understand England, I'd give them a Smiths album)

    And
    "You say I took the name in vain, I don't even know the name, and if I did- well, really, what's it to you?" - Leonard Cohen

    Go Outside and Drive
    (Jon Popper: Blues Traveller)

    I've really got to clean up my room
    You know it's been so long since I've seen
    my floor
    It's getting kind of scary in fact I suspect
    That when I finally clear away I won't know
    her anymore
    How we'll have grown so far apart
    From those early days with the fresh new
    start
    So in the end it won't matter at all
    So why should I bother with the rise and the
    fall
    So I quietly lay back down
    And watch TV

    But these are the things we tell ourselves
    Eventual stories designed to amuse
    It's a game we play and we play it well
    In fact we're so damn good that we try to
    lose
    So we can keep hiding
    So we can survive
    And keep on believing
    Someday we'll go outside & drive
    Gonna go outside & drive...

    I have resolved not to leave my house
    Till my floor comes back and my room is
    clean
    So I'm really kind of glad that my TV's here
    While I concoct my plan to fulfill my dream
    Now won't that be wonderful when I'll
    finally be done
    You know I just can't wait for it then I'll
    start to have fun
    It's getting hard lately to concentrate
    All my appointments canceled cause I'm
    horribly late
    You know I think I need a prison
    In order to dream of being free

    But these are things we tell ourselves
    Eventual stories designed to amuse
    It's a game we play and we play it well
    In fact we're so damn good that we try to
    lose
    So we can keep hiding
    So we can survive
    And keep on believing
    Someday we'll go outside & drive

    Now weeks have gone by and my room's not
    done
    In fact I could say that it's gotten much
    worse
    Old Chinese food and ravioli cans
    Amongst the crumpled letters the mood's
    quite perverse
    But I got a new TV with a remote control
    Styrofoam and instructions fill the hole
    Where I once cleared a path where I once
    blazed a trail
    To the bathroom, but I fear that a nail
    Is buried there now so I step very rarely
    And try not to get out of bed

    You know tomorrow I'll get up and I'll walk
    out my door
    And life will return to the way that it was
    But I think I'm getting sick I'd better give it
    a day
    It mustn't get a foothold, but it usually does
    So I'll sit right here till I'm old and gray
    I need my rest after all I'm wasting away
    And I just saw a cockroach crawl out of my
    sneaker
    I think he's biding his time till I get some-
    what weaker
    Things could still turn out alright
    As long as I'm not dead
    As long as I'm ...
    I'm...I'm not...
    I'm not dead, no I'm not dead

    But these are the things we tell ourselves
    Eventual stories designed to amuse
    It's a game we play and we play it well
    In fact we're so damn good that we try to
    lose
    So we can keep hiding
    So we can survive
    And keep on believing
    Someday we'll go outside & drive
    Gonna go outside & drive
    What's it like outside

    Lyrics to Weird Al's White & Nerdy (Ridin' Parody)
    You see me mowin' my front lawn
    I know they're all thinkin' I'm so
    White and nerdy

    Think I'm just too white and nerdy
    Think I'm just too white and nerdy
    Can't you see I'm white and nerdy
    Look at me I'm white and nerdy

    I wanna roll with the gangstas
    But so far they all think I'm too
    White and nerdy

    Think I'm just too white and nerdy
    Think I'm just too white and nerdy
    I'm just too white and nerdy
    Really, really white and nerdy

    First in my class here at MIT
    Got skills, I'm a champion at D&D
    M.C. Escher, that's my favorite M.C.
    Keep you're 40, I'll just have an Earl Grey tea
    My rims never spin, to the contrary
    You'll find that they're quite stationary
    All of my action figures are cherry
    Stephen Hawking's in my library

    My MySpace page is all totally pimped out
    Got people beggin' for my top eight spaces
    Yo, I know pi to a thousand places
    Ain't got no grills but I still wear braces
    I order all of my sandwiches with mayonnaise
    I'm a wiz at Minesweeper, I could play for days
    Once you've see my sweet moves, you're gonna stay amazed
    My fingers movin' so fast I'll set the place ablaze

    There's no killer app I haven't run (run)
    At Pascal, well I'm number one (one)
    Do vector calculus just for fun
    I ain't got a gat, but I got a soldering gun (what?)
    Happy Days is my favorite theme song
    I could sure kick your butt in a game of ping pong
    I'll ace any trivia quiz you bring on
    I'm fluent in JavaScript as well as Klingon

    Here's the part I sing on...

    You see me roll on my Segway
    I know in my heart they think I'm
    White and nerdy

    Think I'm just too white and nerdy
    Think I'm just too white and nerdy
    Can't you see I'm white and nerdy
    Look at me I'm white and nerdy

    I'd like to roll with the gangstas
    Although it's apparent I'm too
    White and nerdy

    Think I'm just too white and nerdy
    Think I'm just too white and nerdy
    I'm just too white and nerdy
    How'd I get so white and nerdy

    I been browsin', inspectin' X-Men comics
    You know I collect 'em
    The pens in my pocket, I must protect them
    My ergonomic keyboard never leaves me bored
    Shoppin' online for deals on some writable media
    I edit Wikipedia
    I memorized Holy Grail really well
    I can recite it right now and have you R-O-T-F-L-O-L

    I got a business doing websites (websites)
    When my friends need some code, who do they call?
    I do HTML for 'em all
    Even made a homepage for my dog, yo
    I got myself a fanny pack
    They were havin' a sale down at The Gap
    Spend my nights with a role of bubble wrap
    Pop, pop - hope no one sees me gettin' freaky

    I'm nerdy in the extreme
    Whiter than sour cream
    I was in AV club and glee club
    And even the chess team
    Only question I ever thought was hard
    Was "Do I like Kirk or do I like Picard?"
    Spend every weekend at the Renaissance Faire

    Got my name on my underwear They see me strollin', they're laughin'
    And rollin' their eyes cause I'm so
    White and nerdy

    Just because I'm white and nerdy
    Just because I'm white and nerdy
    All because I'm white and nerdy
    Holy cow, I'm white and nerdy

    I wanna bowl with the gangstas
    But oh well, it's obvious I'm
    White and nerdy

    Think I'm just too white and nerdy
    Think I'm just too white and nerdy
    I'm just too white and nerdy
    Look at me I'm white and nerdy

    Invincible
    by Ok Go

    When they finally come to destroy the earth, they'll have to go through you first. I bet they won't be
    expecting that. When they finally come to destroy the earth, they'll have to deal with you first,and now
    my money says they won't know about the thousand Fahrenheit hot metal lights behind your eyes. Invincible.
    You're invincible. That crushing, crashing, atom-smashing, white-hot thing... It's invincible. When they
    finally come, what'll you do to them? Gonna decimate them like you did to me? Will you leave them stunned
    and stuttering? When they finally come, how will you handle them? Will you devastate them deliberately?
    'Cause I'm gonna guess they won't be prepared for thousand Fahrenheit hot metal lights behind your eyes.
    Invincible. You're invincible. That crushing, crashing, atom-smashing, white-hot thing... It's invincible.
    So, please use your powers for good. You're invincible.

    "For You" by Bruce Springsteen

    Princess cards she sends me with her regards
    barroom eyes shine vacancy, to see her you gotta look hard
    Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
    To her Cheshire smile. I'll stand on file, she's all I ever wanted.
    But you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts
    honey, get your carpetbaggers off my back
    you wouldn't even give me time to cover my tracks.
    You said, "Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks".
    But they're not what I came for, and I'm sure you see that too
    I came for you, for you, I came for you, but you did not need my urgency
    I came for you, for you, I came for you, but your life was one long emergency
    and your cloud line urges me, and my electric surges free

    Crawl into my ambulance, your pulse is getting weak
    reveal yourself all now to me girl while you've got the strength to speak
    Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue with their oxygen masks
    But I could give it all to you now if only you could ask.
    And don't call for your surgeon even he says it's too late
    It's not your lungs this time, it's your heart that holds your fate
    Don't give me money, honey, I don't want it back
    you and your pony face and your union jack
    well take your local joker and teach him how to act
    I swear I was never that way even when I really cracked
    Didn't you think I knew that you were born with the power of a locomotive
    able to leap tall buildings in a single bound?
    And your Chelsea suicide with no apparent motive
    you could laugh and cry in a single sound.

    And your strength is devastating in the face of all these odds
    Remember how I kept you waiting when it was my turn to be the god?

    You were not quite half so proud when I found you broken on the beach
    Remember how I poured salt on your tongue and hung just out of reach
    And the band they played the homecoming theme as I caressed your cheek
    That ragged, jagged melody she still clings to me like a leech.
    But that medal you wore on your chest always got in the way
    like a little girl with a trophy so soft to buy her way
    We were both hitchhikers but you had your ear tuned to the roar
    of some metal-tempered engine on an alien, distant shore
    So you, left to find a better reason than the one we were living for
    and it's not that nursery mouth I came back for
    It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor
    cause I've broken all your windows and I've rammed through all your doors
    And who am I to ask you to lick my sores?
    And you should know that's true...
    I came for you, for you, I came for you, but you did not need my urgency
    I came for you, for you, I came for you, but your life was one long emergency
    and your cloud line urges me, and my electric surges free

    Sorry, I don't usually answer twice, but this one deserves it's own for it's brutal honesty. It's Jon Popper again:

    Whoops

    Have you ever seen an atom
    Little bits of everything floating by
    Take a good look at them
    Collectively they compose all you see
    including your eye

    Brilliant puzzle
    A living Rubix Cube we think we can figure
    out and solve
    But we're just monkeys
    Scratching our heads trying to open our
    ears
    To a chord that just won't seem to resolve

    And we call it wisdom
    Yes intellect in our truest sense of the word
    You see for us security means a harmony
    According only to what we have heard
    And this alone and nothing less
    Will ease our heart and our mind
    In the hopes that in feeling free we'll reach
    paradise
    On that hilltop we're still trying to find

    But the possibility exists no matter how
    scary it may seem
    That paradise was once the world and it
    wasn't just a dream
    The earth was our heaven and we didn't
    know there were rules for us to break
    And maybe now we'll find out too late what
    a clever hell we can make

    Whoops
    Whoops

    In this corner
    Weighing in at almost every weight imagin-
    able...
    Life, and all that surrounds it
    And in this corner
    Weighing in at well, not really very much of
    anything;
    A very sound and user friendly idea
    On finally bringing that pesky mountain to
    Mohammed
    Gentlemen at the sound of the harmonica
    solo you may come out fighting

    Take a look at the horizon
    Quiet and still
    You know there used to be bison
    Gentlemen you may fire at will
    They say this land won't go to waste
    But you gotta wonder how
    You know we're chopping down the air we
    breathe
    AS fodder for the cow

    that's right so we can eat well
    Yes and starve to death
    And say there's nothing we can do
    Because we really don't want to do a god-
    damn thing
    Look I'm shrugging and so are you
    We can imagine the straightest of lines
    But our fingers can't control the pen
    And it's this frustration that yields relief
    As we say we're just mortal men
    And that means we get to torture a
    chimpanzee
    And infect him with disease
    Because he screams just like a human child
    While we study his desperate pleas

    But the possibility exists no matter how
    scary it may seem
    That paradise was once the world and it
    wasn't just a dream
    The earth was our heaven and we didn't
    know there were rules for us to break
    And maybe now we'll find out too late what
    a clever hell we can make

    Whoops
    Whoops

    While we're on the subject you know my
    conscience hurts
    And it will not go away
    So please concoct me some pill I can take
    While I think of something clever to say
    So I can look in my mirror made of
    polished glass
    And find no need to cringe
    And forget that sinking feeling I'm a
    dinosaur
    Out on his drunken last binge

    ...from fossil to fossil
    Dust t dust
    I'll see you all in the earthy crust

    Whoops
    Whoops

    "I forgot to remember to forget". On the face of it seems to be kinda of a nonsensical statement but yet may well be be apt for many - let go of your hurts, your anger, your lost love; move on. +5

    I also like "If I Could" by Regina Belle:

    If I could
    I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes
    Give you courage in a world of compromise
    Yes, I would

    If I could
    I would teach you all the things I've never learned
    And I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned
    Yes, I would

    If I could
    I would try to shield your innocence from time
    But the part of life I gave you isn't mine
    I've watched you grow
    So I could let you go

    If I could
    I would help you make it through the hungry years
    But I know that I can never cry your tears
    But I would
    If I could

    If I live
    In a time and place where you don't want to be
    You don't have to walk along this road with me
    My yesterday
    Won't have to be your way

    If I knew
    I'd have tried to change the world I brought to you to
    And there isn't very much that I can do
    But I would
    If I could...

    bloodlylilcorpse is back

    Bleed by Evanescence

    "I must be dreaming..." Thats my fave lyric in this song!

    How can I pretend that I don't see
    What you hide so carelessly
    I saw her bleed
    you heard me breathe
    And I froze inside myself
    And turned away
    I must be dreaming

    We all live, we all die,
    That does not begin to justify you

    It's not what it seems.
    Not what you think
    No, I must be dreaming.
    It's only in my mind,
    Not real life.
    No, I must be dreaming.

    Help I know I've got to tell someone,
    Tell them what I know you've done.
    I fear you, but spoken fears can come true.

    We all live, we all die,
    That does not begin to justify you

    It's not what it seems.
    Not what you think.
    No I must be dreaming.
    It's only in my mind,
    Not real life.
    No I must be dreaming.

    We all live,
    We all die,
    That does not begin to justify you

    It's not what it seems
    Not what you think
    No I must be dreaming
    It's only in my mind
    Not real life
    No I must be dreaming

    Not what it seems
    Not what you think
    I must be dreaming
    Just in my mind
    Not real life
    I must be dreaming

    "Ah, the news of my impending death
    Came at a really bad time for me
    Yeah, the news of my impending death
    Any other day might have been ok

    I was starting to track with my inner guide
    I was getting in touch with my feminine side
    But when the doctor starts whistling "happy trails"
    Tends to take a bit of wind out of the old sails"

    ~The Lament Of Desmond R.G. Underwood-Fredrick IV

    Nemesis

    I tried to kill the pain, but only brought more
    I lay dying, and I`m pouring, crimson regret
    And betrayel
    I`m dying
    Praying
    Bleeding
    And screaming
    Am I too lost, to be saved?
    Am I to lost?

    My god, my tourniquet
    Return to me salvation
    My god, my tourniquet
    Return to me salvation

    Do you remember me?
    Lost for so long
    Will you be on the other side
    or will you forget me?
    I`m dying
    Praying
    Bleeding
    And screaming
    Am I too lost, to be saved?
    Am I to lost?
    I want to die!

    My wounds, cry for the grave
    my soul cries, for deliverence
    will I be, denied
    Christ, tourniquet
    my suicide...

    Cat Power - Love & Communication

    Love and communication you were here for me
    At this very moment 'cause I found you on the phone
    You called me
    And you were not hunting me

    Learning more and more about less and less and less
    On the edge of your seat in some dark movie
    Can you memorize the scenes
    They'll be different next week
    Can you tell me can you tell can you tell
    If there's something better
    'Cause you know there always is
    There always is

    Drawn to the party like a spider filling up your guts
    Don't hate the night with what you shouldn't have
    Come along for the ride you just know you should
    You just know you should
    Can you tell can you tell can you tell
    If there's something better
    'Cause you know there always is
    There always is

    Hated to see you sad when I left
    There's just no good in that but the good part was
    That I came out at all 'cause I don't venture out
    Into the lives of the new
    I want you to come along for the ride
    How long will you stay for your whole life
    You just know you should
    Can you tell me can you tell can you tell
    If there's something better
    'Cause you know there always is
    There always is

    Love and communication you were here for me
    At this very moment 'cause I found you on the phone
    You called me
    And you were not hunting me

    "More Than Useless"
    By Relient K And this is what my life is
    I feel like, I would like
    To be somewhere else doing something that matters
    And I'll admit here, while I sit here
    My mind wastes away and my doubts start to gather

    Whats the purpose? It feels worthless
    So unwanted like I've lost all my value
    I can't find it, not in the least bit
    and I'm just scared, so scared that I'll fail you

    And sometimes I think that I'm not any good at all
    And sometimes I wonder why, why I'm even here at all
    But then you assure me

    I'm a little more than useless
    And when I think that I can't do this
    You promise me that I'll get through this
    And do something right
    Do something right for once

    So I say if I can't, do something significant
    I'll opt to leave most opportunities wasted
    And nothing trivial, that life could give me will
    Measure up to what might have replaced it

    Too late look, my date book
    Is packed full of days that were empty and now gone
    And I bet, that regret
    Will prove to get me to improve in the long run

    And sometimes I think that I'm not any good at all
    And sometimes I wonder why, why I'm even here at all
    But then you assure me

    I'm a little more than useless
    And when I think that I can't do this
    You promise me that I'll get through this
    And do something right
    Do something right for once

    I’m a little more than useless
    And I never knew I knew this
    Was gonna the day, gonna be the day
    That I would do something right
    Do something right for once

    I notice, I know this
    Week is a symbol of how I use my time
    Resent it, I spent it
    Convincing myself the world's doing just fine
    Without me
    Doing anything of any consequence
    Without me
    Showing any sign of ever making sense
    Of my time , it's my life
    And my right, to use it like I should
    Like he would, for the good
    Of everything that I would ever know

    I'm a little more than useless
    When I think that I can't do this
    You promise me that I'll get through this
    And do something right
    Do something right for once

    I’m a little more than useless
    And I never knew I knew this
    Was gonna the day, gonna be the day
    That I would do something right
    Do something right for once

    the VP wears a Wicked COAT

    I don't think I could narrow it down to just one set of lyrics in one song...there are too many that rock. Here is one that I most recently rocked out to Friday night.

    "I got a secret if you can keep it between us
    I tucked two Nina's under my jeans either side of my penis
    Under my long johns
    Under my Sean Johns
    When runnin' with the long arm of the law I'm long gone"

    Em - We As Americans

    I don't know what it is about these lines but I pump up the volume everytime I hear 'em...weird, I know...I don't get it either. :)

    I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
    You get your fill to eat, but always keep that hunger
    May you never take one single breath for granted
    God forbid love ever leave you empty handed

    I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
    Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
    Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance

    Chorus: And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,
    I hope you dance (dance), I hope you dance (dance)

    I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
    Never settle for the path of least resistance
    Livin’ might mean takin’ chances, but they're worth takin’
    Lovin’ might be a mistake but it's worth makin’
    Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
    When you come close to selling out, reconsider
    Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance

    And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,
    I hope you dance.. (time is a wheel in constant motion always)
    I hope you dance... (rolling us along)
    I hope you dance...(tell me who wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
    I hope you dance.... (where those years have gone)

    ,...
    Leanne Womack - "I Hope You Dance"
    The melody is nice,...but the lyrics MAKE this song.

    I'm having trouble deciding whether I like the poetic analogy of the lyric or the key change and crescendo when it is delivered in the song... It stands out.

    Tales of Brave Ulysses - Cream (from the album: Disraeli Gears)

    You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever,
    But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun.
    And the colors of the sea bind your eyes with trembling mermaids,
    And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses,
    How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing,
    For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white laced lips.
    And you see a girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise,
    And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea.
    And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body,
    Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind.
    The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers,
    And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.
    Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell,
    And you know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands
    With tales of brave Ulysses, how his naked ears were tortured
    By the sirens sweetly singing.
    The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers,
    And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.

    I found one that topps the Dylan lyric. (for me anyway.)
    it's from the Ass Ponys song "Live untill I die"
    "It's morning and I'm awake, my soul's been chosen not to take.
    I feel like I've been asleep for years.
    Rolling out of bed.
    It's midday, it's afternoon.
    Seems like it's gotten here to soon.
    I'm still in my underwear, listening to "The Weight".
    It's evening and I'm alive.
    No bruises or abraisions outside.
    No bones protruding through my skin.
    What a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful way for the day to end.
    And then I see the colours, Pressing up on my eyes.
    And I want to live untill I die.

    Gotta Love the Ass Ponys for lyrics.
