Top 5 Lyrics? - Palmer - 07-08-2008

Well since I dont write songs I will have to post faves from others, so here goes:

Matchbox 20 – “3AM”
"She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway"

Sixx:A.M. - "Life Is Beautiful"
"There’s nothing like a trail of blood to find your way back home"

Collective Soul - “The World I know”
“All the words that I've been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding
Into one.”

Rob Thomas - “I Am An Illusion”
“I am the damage
I am the relief
Sometimes I'm people
I never hoped that I would be”

Aerosmith - “Fever”
“The buzz that you be gettin’ from the crack don’t last
I’d rather be OD’ing on the crack of her ass”

Aaahhhh .. classic Aerosmith lyrics!!! LMAO!!!
:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Lost Prophets, We still kill the old way:

Set sail on contreate waves, no survivors left to save, too late for the walking dead


Top 5 Lyrics? - Bentley - 09-09-2008

When the wake up's hard to find
Dreams make up for your life

Those words are very meaningful to me.

Top 5 Lyrics? - CMB1888 - 06-11-2008

Unless you want to hear a poem I recently wrote about a tree (you don't), these are some lyrics that come to mind (I seem to have edited the happy out, though)

And over there there's broken bones
There's only music, so that there's new ringtones
A Certain Romance – Arctic Monkeys

It doesn't matter
If this all shatters
Nothing lasts forever
It doesn’t matter – Depeche Mode

For all of our languages we can't communicate,
For all of our native tongues, we're all natives here
The scars of the past are slow to disappear
The cries of the dead are always in our ears
And only the very safe can talk about wrong and right
Natives – Christy Moore

Let me save us
I've slaughtered us, I've murdered our love
Earthquake – The Used

I need a Mars Bar
Hey , raid the Spar
Mars Bar – The Undertones

Top 5 Lyrics? - Beach - 27-01-2009

My favourite songwriters of all time were Rodgers & Hart
with Richard Rogers supplying the music to Lorenz (Larry) Hart's words.
The words and the melodies were always brilliant and one of mine and Shirley's favourites was (I'll take) Manhattan - the words of which follow.
_________________________________________________________

Summer journeys
To Niag'ra
And to other places
Aggravate all our cares.
We'll save our fares.
I've a cozy little flat
In what is known as old Manhattan.
We'll settle down
Right here in town.

We'll have Manhattan,
The Bronx and Staten
Island too.
It's lovely going through
The zoo.
It's very fancy
On old Delancey
Street, you know.
The subway charms us so
When balmy breezes blow
To and fro.
And tell me what street
Compares with Mott Street
In July?
Sweet pushcarts gently gliding by.
The great big city's a wondrous toy
Just made for a girl and boy.
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy.

We'll go to Greenwich,
Where modern men itch
To be free;
And Bowling Green you'll see
With me.
We'll bathe at Brighton
The fish you'll frighten
When you're in.
Your bathing suit so thin
Will make the shellfish grin
Fin to fin.
I'd like to take a
Sail on Jamaica
Bay with you.
And fair Canarsie's lake
We'll view.
The city's bustle cannot destroy
The dreams of a girl and boy.
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy.

We'll go to Yonkers
Where true love conquers
In the wilds.
And starve together, dear,
In Childs'.
We'll go to Coney
And eat baloney
On a roll.
In Central Park we'll stroll,
Where our first kiss we stole,
Soul to soul.
Our future babies
We'll take to "Abie's
Irish Rose."
I hope they'll live to see
It close.
The city's clamor can never spoil
The dreams of a boy and goil.
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy.

We'll have Manhattan,
The Bronx and Staten
Island too.
We'll try to cross'
Fifth Avenue.
As black as onyx
We'll find the Bronnix
Park Express.
Our Flatbush flat, I guess,
Will be a great success,
More or less.
A short vacation
On Inspiration Point
We'll spend,
And in the station house we'll end,
But Civic Virtue cannot destroy
The dreams of a girl and boy.
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy!
