Some more of MacGowan's finest...

I'm not singing for the future
I'm not dreaming of the past
I'm not talking of the first time
I never think about the last

The Pogues - Rainy Night In Soho
 
I actually have that lyric as a tattoo on my feet. It's prett cool, but more summed up how I was feeling at the time.

Every morning I walk towarRAB the edge
And throw little things off
Like:
Car parts, bottles and cutlery
Or whatever I find lying around

It's become a habit
A way
To start the day

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
Bjork - Hyperballad - I have no reason why, I just like them.

"There's a man goin' 'round takin' names.
An' he decides who to free and who to blame.
Everybody won't be treated all the same...

"Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon."
-Radiohead, Everything in it's Right Place

No one other than Radiohead fans could possibly appreciate those lyrics or even understand them...

"Mild mannered Superman are held in kryptonite, and the wise and foolish virgins giggle with their bodies glowing bright, through the door a harvest feast is lit by candlelight, it's the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight"

I love this line for some reason.... in all the verbose granduer that is the lyrics from The Larab Lies Down on Broadway by Genesis, this one just paints and vivid and surreal image that I love to play over and over in my head.... doesn't hurt that it's also set to one of the most beautiful melodies on the entire album...
 
"You said you hate my suffering, and you understood,
And you’d take care of me.
You'd always be there.
Well, where are you now?"

Blur - No Distance Left To Run

This song contains some brilliant lyrics.

"I won't kill myself trying to stay in your life, I got no distance left to run."

Also, I wish I knew how to post Youtube clips so they come up like they do on Youtube. :confused:
 
One two three
She's a real left winger 'cause she been down south
And held peasants in her arms
She said "I could tell you a story that could make you cry"
"What about you?"
I said "Me too"
"I could tell you a story that will make you cry"
And she sighed "Ah"
I said "I wanna be a singer like Lou Reed"
"I like Lou Reed" she said sticking her tongue in my ear
"Let's go, let's sit, let's talk"
"Politics go so good with beer"
"And while we're at it baby, why don't you tell me one of your biggest fears?"
I said "Loosing my penis to a whore with disease"
"Just kidding" I said
"Losing my life to a whore with disease"
She said "Excuse me please?"
I said "Losing my life to a whore with disease"
I said "Please... I'm a hurable guy with a healthy desire"
"Don't give me no **** because..."
 
"We are all trapped in prisons of the mind,
it's a hard sensibility
but we'll see it through in time
but when worRAB come between us
Noiseless in the air
Believe me, I know it's so easy to despair.
but don't" Remainder- Rites of Spring
 
"But the funny thing is what happened to her nose, ooohhh
It grew until it reached all of her toes, ooohhh
Now, when people say her feet smell, they mean her nose"
-Transformer
 
I am the city that will lie
You are the one that blame passed by
This is the place where I will weep
The loneliness of sweet conceit

What a tune :D
 
"A muddle of nervous worRAB
could never amount betrayal
the sentence is all my own
and the price is to watch it fail"

Into Temptation by Crowded House....some wonderfully deceptively dark songwriting by Neil Finn...
 
"Soft silly music is meaningful magical,
The movements were beautiful, all in your ovaries.
All of them milking with green fleshy flowers,
While powerful pistons were sugary sweet machines.
Smelling of semen all under the garden
Was all you were needing when you still believed in me"

Oh Comely by Neutral Milk Hotel
