Favourite lyrics?

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

Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to nought
Or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
The time is gone
The song is over
Thought I'd something more to say
 
Hmm, thats surprising. I remeraber a thread awhile back.. Like every three people would say that line and people eventually made it into a joke.
 
When you pass through hurable
When you pass through sickly
When you pass through 'I'm better than you all'
When you pass through anger and self-deprecation
and have the strength to acknowledge it all,
When the past makes you laugh
and you can savor the magic
that let you survive your own war,
You find that that fire is passion
and there's a door up ahead, not a wall.

- Lou Reed "Magic and Loss (The Summation)"
 
Each evening the sun sets in five billion places,
Seen by ten billion eyes set in five billion faces,
Then they close in a daze and wait for the dawing,
But the daylight and sunrise
Are brighter in our eyes,
Where night cannot devour golden solar power

Once we were dammned now I guess we are angels
For we passed though the dark and avoided the dangers
Then I awoke with a start to startling changes
All the tension is ended,
The sentance suspended,
And darkenss now sparkles and gleams.

And it all seems larger than life to me
I find it rather hard rather hard to believe.

So I stand as the sound goes straight through my body,
I'm so bloated up, happy, and I throw things around me.
And Im growing in stages, and have been for ages,
Just singing and floating and free.

Dum de dum dum
Its a heavenly pop hit
If anyone wants it.
Dum de dum dum
Its a heavenly pop hit,
Its something that we're humming as
We swoop low on trees, or we sweep under carpets,
We can dive into suns though its not recommended,
We can hover, silent, and listen, closely...

It all seems, (all seems)
Larger than life to me,
I find it, (find it)
Hard to believe,

So where was our home,
Well, our home was in tears,
For it's fruit has gone bad,
They'd been that way for years
Yet their lives are elsatic,
They should be fantastic,
They should be expanding.

Dum de dum dum
Dum de dum dum
It's a heavenly pop hit,
If anyone wants it.

Dum de dum dum
Dum de dum dum
It's a heavenly pop hit,
For anybody,
For those that still want it.
Heavenly Pop Hit by The Chills
 
Galaxie 500's lyrics = the borab.

What Dream Pop album would you (or anybody else) recommend me next? Sigur Ros and Galaxie 500 are the only artists I've heard and I love them to death.
 
Noel Gallagher may be no lyrical genius but he has his moments. This is one of my favourites.

Strangle my hope and make me pray
To a god I've never seen but who I betray
To the people who live the afterlife
And the place I'll never be 'til I'm crucified
(Noel Gallagher) (Lets All Make Believe - Oasis)
 
"Mother I tried please believe me, I'm doing the best that I can. I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through, I'm ashamed of the person I am"

Joy Division.

"For you are all that matters and I'll love you 'til the day I die"

"And if a double decker bus, should kill the both of us, to die by your side, is such a heavenly way to die, and if a ten ton truck kills the both of us, well the pleasure the privilege is mine."

The Smiths.

"Oh they might wear classic reeboks or knackered converse or tracky bottoms tucked in socks, but all of that's what the point is not. The point's that there ain't no romance around here."

Arctic Monkeys

"Even the worRAB they fail me
Oh look what it's doing to me
I never say what I want to say
It's only a word believe me
If only the world could see me
I promise I'd send the word away"

The La's

"Come as you are, as you were, as I want you to be. As a trend, as a friend, as a known enemy. Take your time, hurry up, the choice is yours, don't be late, take a rest as a friend as a known enemy."

Nirvana

Just a few of my favourites.
 
As good as that one is, Noely G has done far better lyrics.

Morrissey was a lyrical genius.
Most of his lyrics from The Smiths are simply brilliant.

One one of my favourites:
"Mother I tried please believe me
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through
I'm ashamed of the person I am."
Ian Curtis - Joy Division.
