Any Favorite Song Lyrics??

Anyone have some favorite song lyrics to share?

Mine.

Desert throat, burning eyes, crawled through the door half alive,
as I pulled myself from underneath the rubble, first question asked
was where's my shovel.

Man I'm gonna get that shovel, and I'm gonna ride it down the road.

My love is in league with the freeway, it's passion will ride as the cities fly by, and the tail lights dissolve in the coming of night and the questions in thousands take flight. My love is the miles in the waiting, the eyes that just stare and a glance at the clock and the secret that burns and the pain that won't stop, and it's you once again leading me on - leading me down the road, driving me on - driving me down the road.
My love is exceedingly vivid, red eyed and fevered from the hum of the miles, distance and longing my thoughts do collide. Should I rest for awhile on the side? Your love is cradled at knowing eyes in the mirror still expecting they'll come, sensing to well when the journey is done, there is no turning back. No, there is no turning back, on the run.

I got brass in pocket
Got bottle, I'm gonna use it.
Intention
I feel inventive,
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice
Got motion, restrained emotion.
I been driving uh, Detroit leaning.
No reason, just seems so pleasing.
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice
Gonna use my arms,
Gonna use my legs,
Gonna use my style,
Gonna use my side-step-
Gonna use my fingers.
Gonna use my, my, my, imagination.
Cause I going make you see-- there's nobody else here
No one like me.
I'm special, so special.
I got to have some of your attention, give it to me!
I got rhythm, I can't miss a beat.
I got-a new skank so reet.
Got something. I'm winking at you,
Gonna make you, make you notice.
Gonna use my arms,
Gonna use my legs,
Gonna use style,
Gonna use my sidestep
Gonna use my fingers, gon' use my my my imagination.
Oh .. cause I gonna make you see
There's nobody else here, no one like me.
I'm special, so special.
I got to have some of your attention, give it to me!
'Cause I gonna make you see
There's nobody else here, no one like me,
I'm special, so special.
I got to have some of your attention, give it to me.

Brass in Pocket - Pretenders

Bob Dylan

I been wond’rin’ all about me
Ever since I seen you there
On the cliffs of your wildcat charms I’m riding
I know I’m ’round you but I don’t know where
You have slayed me, you have made me
I got to laugh halfways off my heels
I got to know, babe, will you surround me?
So I can tell if I’m really real

The late Warren Zevon was a master lyricist, and for some reason I think this snippet is like the best lyrics ever:

And if California falls into the ocean
like the mystics and statistics say it will
I predict this hotel will be standin
until I pay my bill

You bet.
"You Shook Me All Night Long" by AC/DC.

It just says it all!

JUST DROPPED IN LYRICS - KENNY ROGERS

(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)

I woke up this mornin' with the sundown shinin' in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag, but then...
I tripped on a cloud and fell eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)

I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawlin' out as I was a-crawlin' in
I got up so tight I couldn't unwind
I saw so much I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in


(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)

Someone painted "April Fool" in big black letters on a dead end sign
I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind
Eight miles outta Memphis and I got no spare
Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

I said I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Yeah yeah oh-yeah

NICKI MINAJ FLY

I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly
To fly

[Nicki Minaj:]
I wish today it will rain all day
Maybe that will kinda make the pain go away
Trying to forgive you for abandoning me
Praying but I think I'm still an angel away
Angel away, yeah strange in a way
Maybe that is why I chase strangers away
They got their guns out aiming at me
But I become Neo when they're aiming at me
Me, me, me against them
Me against enemies, me against friends
Somehow they both seem to become one
A sea full of sharks and they all smell blood
They start coming and I start rising
Must be surprising, I'm just amazing
I win, thrive, soar, higher, higher, higher
More fire

[Chorus: Rihanna]
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly
To fly

[Nicki Minaj:]
Everybody wanna try to box me in
Suffocating every time it locks me in
Painting their own pictures then they crop me in
But I will remain where the top begins
Cause I am not a word, I am not a line
I am not a girl that can ever be defined
I am not fly, I am levitation
I represent an entire generation
I hear the criticism loud and clear
That is how I know that the time is near
So we become alive in a time of fear
And I ain't got no motherfucking time to spare
Cry my eyes out for days upon days
Such a heavy burden placed upon me
But when you go hard your nay's become yay's
Yankee Stadium with Jay's and Kanye's

[Chorus: Rihanna]
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly
To fly

[Bridge: Nicki Minaj]
Get ready for it
Get ready for it
Get ready for it
I came to win
Get ready for it
Get ready for it
Get ready for it
I came to win

I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly
To fly

........But shes got the biggest balls of them all!!!!!!!
lmao that song has made me laugh since I was a kid.

Nickelback. " Figure You Out"
Most of their songs are pretty suggestive.

I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please, while you're looking up at me
You're like my favorite damn disease

And I love the places that we go
And I love the people that you know
And I love the way you can't say "No" too many long lines in a row
I love the powder on your nose

Ouh, and now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
Now I did, you wonder why

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
Now I did, you wonder why

I like the freckles on your chest
And I like the way you like me best
And I like the way you're not impressed, while you put me to the test

I like the white stains on your dress
And I love the way you pass the check
And I love the good times that you wreck (The good times that you wreck)

And I love your lack of self respect
While you're passed out on the deck
I love my hands around your neck

Ouh and I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
Now I did, you wonder why

And I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
Now I did, you wonder why
Why not before, you never tried
Gone for good, and this is it

I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please, while you're looking up at me
You're like my favorite damn disease

And I hate the places that we go
And I hate the people that you know
And I hate the way you can't say "No" too many long lines in a row
I hate the powder on your nose

Ouh and now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
Now I did, you wonder why

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
Now I did, you wonder why
Why not before, you never tried
Gone for good, and this is it

Should have known, had to be told, the streets of heaven
are lined with gold, mine are lined with pain and paved with
trouble, don't worry none cause I got that shovel.

Man I'm gonna get that shovel, and I'm gonna ride it down the road.

Young Lust (Pink Floyd)

I am just a new boy,
Stranger in this town.
Where are all the good times?
Who's gonna show this stranger around?

Ooooh, I need a dirty woman.
Ooooh, I need a dirty girl.

Will some woman in this desert land
Make me feel like a real man?
Take this rock and roll refugee
Oooh, baby set me free.

Ooooh, I need a dirty woman.
Ooooh, I need a dirty girl.

" It's hard to kiss the lips at night that eat your ass all day long."

The first song of the Moody Blues "To our Children's Children's Children" album was Higher and Higher. It was certainly a tune for the times. The album was released in 1969, which was also the year of man's first lunar landing. The lyrics were somewhat comical, especially the first line of the song. One could almost imagine 10 billion butterflies sneezing in unison, in a concerted effort to propel a rocket off of the launch pad.

Higher And Higher
Blasting, Billowing, Bursting Forth with the
Power of ten billion butterfly sneezes,
Man with his flaming pyre has conquered the wayward breezes,
Climbing to tranquillity far above the cloud,
Conceiving the heavens clear of misty shroud.

Higher and Higher now we've learned to play with fire
We go higher and higher and higher.

Vast vision must improve our sight
and perhaps at last we'll see,
An end to our homes endless blight
and the beginning of the Free,
Climb to tranquillity finding its real worth
Conceiving the heavens flourishing on Earth.

Higher and Higher now we've learned to play with fire,
We go higher and higher and higher.
