    "So I broke into the palace, with a sponge and a rusty spanner, she said I know you and you cannot sing, I said you should hear me play piaaanor"

    I also be think, Flight of the Conchords, for a comedy band, have some of the best lyrics I've ever heard.

    Masterpiece:


    Flight of the Conchords are unbelievably good musicians/lyricists. Their song "To woo a lady" has too many great lyrics so I'll just link the video.

    I simply love the lyrics to The River by Bruce Springsteen so much. So simple - straight-talking realism. "I got Mary pregnant" - no metaphors there! :D

    Bleak, haunting stuff:
    I come from down in the valley
    Where mister when you're young
    They bring you up to do like your daddy done
    Me and Mary we met in high school
    When she was just seventeen
    We'd ride out of this valley down to where the fields were green
    We'd go down to the river
    And into the river we'd dive
    Oh down to the river we'd ride

    Then I got Mary pregnant
    And man that was all she wrote
    And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
    We went down to the courthouse
    And the judge put it all to rest
    No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle
    No flowers no wedding dress

    That night we went down to the river
    And into the river we'd dive
    Oh down to the river we did ride

    I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
    But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
    Now all them things that seemed so important
    Well mister they vanished right into the air
    Now I just act like I don't remember
    Mary acts like she don't care

    But I remember us riding in my brother's car
    Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
    At night on them banks I'd lie awake
    And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
    Now those memories come back to haunt me
    They haunt me like a curse
    Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
    Or is it something worse

    Thousands are sailing
    Across the western ocean
    Where the hand of opportunity
    Draws tickets in a lottery
    Where e'er we go, we celebrate
    The land that makes us refugees
    From fear of priests with empty plates
    From guilt and weeping effigies
    And we dance

    So can you understand?
    Why I want a daughter
    while I'm still young.
    I wanna hold her hand
    And show her some beauty

    You came from Germany, from France, from England
    And from Spain
    From Belgium and from Portugal
    You all done much the same
    You took what was not yours
    Went against your own bible
    You broke your own laws
    Just to out do the rival
    But did you ever apologize
    For the hundreds and millions of lives
    You destroyed and terrorised
    Or have you never realized
    Did you never feel shame
    For what was done in your country's name
    And find out who's to blame and why they were so inhumane
    And still they teach you in your school
    About those glorious days of rule
    And how it's your destiny to be
    Superior to me
    But if you've any kind of mind
    You'll see that all human kind
    Are the children of this earth
    And your hate for them will chew you up and spit you out

    You walked into the party

    You had one eye in the mirror as
    You watched yourself gavotte

    Bob Dylan - The Hurricane. Obviously very long but this is the really powerful bit for me:
    Rubin could take a man out with just one punch
    But he never did like to talk about it all that much.
    It's my work, he'd say, and I do it for pay
    And when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way
    Up to some paradise
    Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice
    And ride a horse along a trail.
    But then they took him to the jailhouse
    Where they trialed a man into a mouse.

    All of Rubin's cards were marked in advance
    The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance.
    The judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums
    To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
    And to the black folks he was just a crazy n****r.
    No one doubted that he pulled the trigger.
    And though they could not produce the gun,
    The D.A. said he was the one who did the deed
    And the all-white jury agreed.

    I love Pulp's little kitchen-sink dramas:

    Well it happened years ago, when you lived on Stanhope Road.
    We listened to your sister when she came home from school
    'cos she was two years older and she had boys in her room.
    We listened outside and heard her.
    Alright. Well that was alright for a while but soon I wanted more.
    I want to see as well as hear and so I hid inside her wardrobe.
    And she came round four and she was with some kid called David
    from the garage up the road
    I listened outside I heard her.
    Alright. Oh I want to take you home.
    I want to give you children. You might be my girlfriend, yeah.
    When I saw you next day I really couldn't tell 'cos you might go
    and tell your mother.
    And so you went with Neve and Neve was coming on
    And I thought I heard you laughing when his Mum and Dad were gone.
    I listened outside, I heard you. Alright. Oh I want to take you home...etc.
    Well I guess it couldn't last too long.
    I came home one day and all her things were gone, I fell asleep inside.
    I never heard her come. And then she opened up her wardrobe and I had to get it on.
    Oh, listen we were on the bed when you came home, I heard you stop outside the door.
    I know you won't believe it's true, I only went with her 'cos she looks like you.

    This song is named for, and based on, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch’s novella Venus in Furs, in which the male main character seeks to be enslaved by his lover. It's a thing of mine I guess. The song does things to me. Severin is the guys name in the book. Guess I have always wanted my own sex slave.



    Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
    Whiplash girlchild in the dark
    Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him
    Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
    Severin, down on your bended knee
    Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
    Taste the whip, now plead for me

    But the whole song is just really beautiful and moving. It's hypnotic and touching.

    The guilty undertaker sighs
    The lonesome organ grinder cries
    The silver saxophones say I should refuse you
    The cracked bells and washed-out horns
    Blow into my face with scorn
    But it's not that way
    I wasn't born to lose you
    I want you, I want you
    I want you so bad
    Honey, I want you.

    The drunken politician leaps
    Upon the street where mothers weep
    And the saviors who are fast asleep
    They wait for you
    And I wait for them to interrupt
    Me drinkin' from my broken cup
    And ask for me
    Open up the gate for you
    I want you, I want you
    Yes, I want you so bad
    Honey, I want you.

    Now all my fathers they've gone down
    True love they've been without it
    But all their daughters put me down
    'Cause I don't think about it.

    Well, I return to the Queen of Spades
    And talk with my chambermaid
    She knows that I'm not afraid
    To look at her
    She is good to me
    And there's nothing she doesn't see
    She knows where I'd like to be
    But it doesn't matter
    I want you, I want you
    Yes, I want you so bad
    Honey, I want you.

    Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit
    He spoke to me, I took his flute
    No, I wasn't very cute to him - Was I ?
    But I did though because he lied
    Because he took you for a ride
    And because time was on his side
    And because I ..
    I want you, I want you
    Yes, I want you so bad
    Honey, I want you.

    Faith No More - Just A Man

    Man was born to love-
    Though often he has sought
    Like Icarus, to fly too high-
    And far too lonely than he ought
    To kiss the sun of east and west
    And hold the world at his behest-
    To hold the terrible power
    To whom only gods are blessed-
    But me, I am just a man

    ^ Love that song, and it's one of the most deceptively nasty songs ever written. The melody is beautiful, the vocals are gorgeous but the lyrics are pure poison. Think I read somewhere that when she wrote that song about Lindsey Buckingham, he wrote "Go Your Own Way" in response.

    It's so skillfully deceptive, the melody in contrast to the lyrics. Nicks has a lovely turn of phrase:

    'Dusty words lying under carpets
    Seldom heard well must you keep your secrets
    Locked inside hidden safe from view
    Well, is it all that hard
    Is it all that tough
    Well, I've shown you all my cards now isn't that enough
    You can hide your hurt
    But, there's something you can do

    You can talk to me
    Talk to me... talk to me
    I can set your secrets free, baby'

    Love the 'Dusty words...' line. Beautiful stuff.

    There could be a whole thread dedicated to Bob Dylan lyrics because I honestly think he's the best lyricist alive. His best stuff is well behind him but you could basically pick any song from his first five or six albums and be amazed by how he could use words.


    "Darkness at the break of noon
    Shadows even the silver spoon
    The handmade blade, the child's balloon
    Eclipses both the sun and moon
    To understand you know too soon
    There is no sense in trying.

    Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
    Suicide remarks are torn
    From the fools gold mouthpiece
    The hollow horn plays wasted words
    Proved to warn
    That he not busy being born
    Is busy dying.

    Temptation's page flies out the door
    You follow, find yourself at war
    Watch waterfalls of pity roar
    You feel to moan but unlike before
    You discover
    That you'd just be
    One more person crying.

    So don't fear if you hear
    A foreign sound to you ear
    It's alright, Ma, I'm only sighing.

    As some warn victory, some downfall
    Private reasons great or small
    Can be seen in the eyes of those that call
    To make all that should be killed to crawl
    While others say don't hate nothing at all
    Except hatred.

    Disillusioned words like bullets bark
    As human gods aim for their marks
    Made everything from toy guns that sparks
    To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
    It's easy to see without looking too far
    That not much
    Is really sacred.

    While preachers preach of evil fates
    Teachers teach that knowledge waits
    Can lead to hundred-dollar plates
    Goodness hides behind its gates
    But even the President of the United States
    Sometimes must have
    To stand naked.

    An' though the rules of the road have been lodged
    It's only people's games that you got to dodge
    And it's alright, Ma, I can make it.

    Advertising signs that con you
    Into thinking you're the one
    That can do what's never been done
    That can win what's never been won
    Meantime life outside goes on
    All around you.

    You loose yourself, you reappear
    You suddenly find you got nothing to fear
    Alone you stand without nobody near
    When a trembling distant voice, unclear
    Startles your sleeping ears to hear
    That somebody thinks
    They really found you.

    A question in your nerves is lit
    Yet you know there is no answer fit to satisfy
    Insure you not to quit
    To keep it in your mind and not forget 
    That it is not he or she or them or it
    That you belong to.

    Although the masters make the rules
    For the wise men and the fools
    I got nothing, Ma, to live up to.

    For them that must obey authority
    That they do not respect in any degree
    Who despite their jobs, their destinies
    Speak jealously of them that are free
    Cultivate their flowers to be
    Nothing more than something
    They invest in.

    While some on principles baptized
    To strict party platforms ties
    Social clubs in drag disguise
    Outsiders they can freely criticize
    Tell nothing except who to idolize
    And then say God Bless him.

    While one who sings with his tongue on fire
    Gargles in the rat race choir
    Bent out of shape from society's pliers
    Cares not to come up any higher
    But rather get you down in the hole
    That he's in.

    But I mean no harm nor put fault
    On anyone that lives in a vault
    But it's alright, Ma, if I can't please him.

    Old lady judges, watch people in pairs
    Limited in sex, they dare
    To push fake morals, insult and stare
    While money doesn't talk, it swears
    Obscenity, who really cares
    Propaganda, all is phony.

    While them that defend what they cannot see
    With a killer's pride, security
    It blows the minds most bitterly
    For them that think death's honesty
    Won't fall upon them naturally
    Life sometimes
    Must get lonely.

    My eyes collide head-on with stuffed graveyards
    False gods, I scuff
    At pettiness which plays so rough
    Walk upside-down inside handcuffs
    Kick my legs to crash it off
    Say okay, I have had enough
    What else can you show me ?

    And if my thought-dreams could been seen
    They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
    But it's alright, Ma, it's life, and life only".

    It's alright ma (I'm only bleeding) Bob Dylan.

    At first glance a lot of that song sounds like Dylanesque nonsense but there's meaning behind every sentence in that song if you hear it a few times. And that's only one song! The man is a genius..

    Roses love sunshine, violets love dew
    Angels in heaven know I love you.

    I need to find a new vagina
    Any kind of new vagina
    It's hard to rhyme a word like vagina
    Calvin Klein? Kind of North Carolina

    "..it was sad, it was sweet, and I knew it complete, when I wore a younger man's clothes.."
    Piano Man - Billy Joel

    "...life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone.." John Mellencamp - Jack and Diane

    All the lyrics in Up the Junction by Squeeze especially
    "... put away a tenner
    Each week to make her better
    And when the time was ready
    We had to sell the telly
    Late evenings by the fire
    With little kicks inside her.."

    I must be feeling very nostalgic today!

    Oh, the snot has caked against my pants
    It has turned into crystal
    There's a bluebird sitting on a branch
    I guess I'll take my pistol

    I'd eat peaches every day"

    We came across the west sea
    We didn't have much idea of the
    Kind of climate waiting
    We used our hands for guidance
    Like the children of a preacher
    Like a dry tree seeking water
    Or a daughter
    Nice 'n' sleazy
    Nice 'n' sleazy does it


    The Stranglers. I like the kind of angry way it's delivered.

    This ride that takes me through life
    Leads me into darkness but emerges into light
    No one can ever slow me down
    I'll stay unbound

    Unbound (The Wild Ride) - Avenged Sevenfold

    A reminder that I am in control of my life and I can choose to let the dark times consume me or push through them. :)

    I've long since retired, my son's moved away
    I called him up just the other day
    I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind"
    He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time
    You see my new job's a hassle and kids have the flu
    But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad
    It's been sure nice talking to you"

    And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
    He'd grown up just like me
    My boy was just like me

    Cat's in the Cradle amazing song IMO.

    All the promises we made from the cradle to the grave
    When all I want is you.
