So what are some of your favourite lyrics? Can be a song or poem, doesn't matter. Meaningful to you or just catchy words and phrases, it all goes. Here's two of mine:

 

We'll do it all

Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?
 

Snow Patrol-Chasing cars. 

 

 

I've been looking for a lover

Thought I'd find her in a bottle
God, make me another one
I'll be feeling this tomorrow
Lord, forgive me for the things I've done
I was never meant to hurt no one
I saw scars upon a broken-hearted lover

Oh, no, no, don't leave me alone lonely now
If you loved me how'd you never learn?
Oh, coloured crimson in my eyes
One or two could free my mind
This is how it ends.
I feel the chemicals burn in my bloodstream
Fading out again.
I feel the chemicals burn in my bloodstream

So tell me when it kicks in.

 

 

Rudimental featuring Ed sheeran-Bloodstream.

Nice topic! "Oh No" by Gogol Bordello has some of my favourite lyrics:

 

And you think, all right, now people
They have finally woke up
But as soon as trouble over
Watch them take another nap

Now nobody's making merry
Only trotting scared of boss
Everybody's making hurry
For some old forgotten cause

But one thing is surely eternal
It's condition of a man
Who don't know where he is going
Who don't know where does he stand

Who's dream power is a bottle
Put away in dry dark place
Who's youth power is well buried
Under propaganda waves

Who's dream life's in opposition
With the life he leads today
Who's beaten down in believing
It just kinda goes this way!

For when it's unfeasible to actually dance on someone's grave:

 

 

Spin Doctors, "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong"

 

Been a whole lot easier since the bitch left town
Been a whole lot happier without her face around
Nobody upstairs gonna stomp and shout
Nobody at the back door gonna throw my laundry out
She hold the shotgun while you dote-se-doe
She want one man made of Hercules and Cyrano
Been a whole lot easier since the bitch is gone
Little miss, little miss little miss can't be wrong

Little miss, little miss little miss can't be wrong
Ain't no body gonna bow no more when you sound your gong
Little miss, little miss little miss can't be wrong
Whatcha go'n do to get into another one of these here
Rock 'n' roll songs

Other people's thoughts they ain't your hand-me-downs
Would it be so bad to simply turn around
You cook so well, all nice and french
You do your brain surgery too, mama, with a monkey wrench

Little miss, little miss little miss can't be wrong
Ain't no body gonna bow no more when you sound your gong
Little miss, little miss little miss can't be wrong
Whatcha go'n do to get into another one of these here
Rock 'n' roll songs

I hope them cigarettes are gonna make you cough
Hope you heard this song and it pissed you off
I take that back: hope you're doing fine
And if I had a dollar, I might give you ninety-nine

Little miss, little miss little miss can't be wrong
Ain't no body gonna bow no more when you sound your gong
Little miss, little miss little miss can't be wrong
Whatcha go'n do to get into another one of these here
Rock 'n' roll songs

Hidden so deep in veils of deceit,
Imprisoned in twisting spells -
Are we the plaything of fiends, or merely the dreams
That we're telling ourselves, telling ourselves?

 

Strive till the phantoms are broken,
Fight till the battle is done;
The squadrons of night can't conquer the day,
Nor shadows extinguish the sun.

 

Stories of danger, fearless attack,
Spectres of plague and pain.
All of these ghosts of our own delusions come back;
And we'll be haunted again, haunted again.

Elliott Smith - King's Crossing 

 

The King's crossing was the main attraction
Dominoes fallin' in a chain reaction
The scrapin' subject ruled by fear
Told me whiskey works better than beer

 

The judge is on vinyl decisions are final
And nobody gets a reprieve
And every wave is tidal if you hang around
You're goin' to get wet

 

I can't prepare for death any more
Than I already have

 

All you can do now is watch the shells
The game looks easy that's why it sells

 

Frustrated fireworks inside your head
Goin' to stand and deliver talk instead
The method acting that pays my bills
Keeps the fat man feedin' in Beverly Hills

 

I got a heavy metal mouth it hurls obscenity
And I get my check clean from the trash treasury
Because I took my own insides out

 

It don't matter 'cause I have no sex life
All I wanna do now is inject my ex-wife
I've seen the movie
And I know what it happens

 

It's Christmas time and the needles on the tree
A skinny Santa is bringin' somethin' to me
His voice is overwhelmin' but his speech is slurred
And I only understand every other word

 

Open your parachute and grab your gun
Fallin' down like an omen a setting sun
Read the part and we turn out fine
It's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive

 

But I don't care if I fuck up I'm goin' on a date
With a rich white lady, ain't life great?
Gimme one good reason not to do it, so do it

 

This is the place where time reverses
And dead men talk to all the pretty nurses
Instruments shine on a silver tray
Don't let me get carried away

Don't let me get carried away
Don't let me be carried away

Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd

 

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell?
Blue skies 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 to you trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on par
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
