[quote=Beach][FONT=Georgia]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.

[I]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.

'They say that patriotism is the last refuge to which a scoundrel clings - steal a little and they throw you in jail - steal a lot and they make you king' Bob Dylan from 'Infidels'
'Was it a huntsman or a player that made you pay the cost
That now assumes relaxed positions and prostitutes your loss
Were you tortured by your own thirst in those pleasures that you seek
That makes you Tom the curious, that makes you James the weak'
Rodriguez from 'Cold Fact' and many many more classic lyrics.....

1. The Whisperer by VersaEmerge - We were lit from the west house in the west, yea, the sight of industrial-ness, as a silence spills over everyone. With a touch of your words, I saw the devil, slip between your fingers [it's much too familiar].
2. In Pursuing Design by VersaEmerge - Now that you know... Now that you know... You never said a word with tangled hand dry, and I, I see through rose-colored eyes. And tell me I'm the only chance constantly hanging from the sky. Pursuing design both far and wide... now that you know there's time....
3. Longshot by Nevertheless - What if the fire burns out? What if we're left without anyone to call our own? You have it figured out, if whenever you're in doubt, you never have to be alone. People may come and people may go. I could be wrong, but there's one thing I know. It's a longshot baby, but someday both of us will die, so I was thinking maybe, I could be your semi-perfect guy.
4. Secrets by OneRepublic - I need another story, something to get off my chest, my life is kind of boring, need something that I can confess. ----- tell me what you want to be, something that'll never be. I'm gonna give all my secrets away. This time, don't live another perfect life....
5. New Soul by Yael Naim - I'm a new soul, I came to this strange world, hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take. But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear, finding myself making every possible mistake. See, I'm a young soul, in this very strange world, hoping I could learn a bit about what is true and fake, but why all this hate, try and communicate.....

teardrops turn to children
who've never had the time,
to commit the sins they pay for
through anothers evil mind....
the past is our knoweledge
the present our mistake,
and the future we always leave to late.
written by paul weller from the Style Council 1984 single 'my everchanging moods', however, i prefer the piano/vocal version on the TSC 'cafe bleu' lp
"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight

I am not sure to tell top 5 lyrics.i just know i am a die hard fan of eminem and this song
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well, that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I can't tell you what it really is, I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now there's a steel knife in my windpipe
I can't breathe but I still fight while I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right it's like I'm in flight
High off of love, drunk from my hate
It's like I'm huffin' paint and I love it, the more I suffer
I suffocate and right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates me
She fuckin' hates me, and I love it
Wait, where you going? I'm leaving you, no, you ain't
Come back, we're running right back, here we go again
It's so insane, 'cause when it's going good, it's going great
I'm Superman with the wind at his back
She's Lois Lane but when it's bad, it's awful, I feel so ashamed
I snap, "Who's that dude?", I don't even know his name
I laid hands on her, I never stoop so low again
I guess I don't know my own strength
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well, that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
You ever love somebody so much, you could barely breathe when you with 'em?
You meet, and neither one of you even know it hit 'em
Got that warm fuzzy feeling, yeah, them chills, used to get 'em
Now you're gettin' fuckin' sick of lookin' at 'em
You swore you'd never hit 'em, never do nothing to hurt 'em
Now you're in each others face spewing venom in your words when you spit 'em
You push, pull each others hair, scratch, claw, bit 'em
Throw 'em down, pin 'em, so lost in the moments when you're in 'em
It's the race that took over, it controls you both
So they say you'd best to go your separate ways, guess that they don't know ya
'Cause today, that was yesterday, yesterday is over, it's a different day
Sound like broken records playing over
But you promised her, next time you'd show restraint
You don't get another chance, life is no Nintendo game
But you lied again, now you get to watch her leave out the window
Guess that's why they call it "window pane"
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
Now I know we said things, did things that we didn't mean
And we fall back into the same patterns, same routine
But your temper's just as bad as mine is, you're the same as me
But when it comes to love, you're just as blinded
Baby, please come back, it wasn't you, baby, it was me
Maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems
Maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano
All I know is I love you too much to walk away though
Come inside, pick up your bags off the sidewalk
Don't you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk?
Told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeball
Next time I'm pissed, I'll aim my fist at the drywall
Next time? There won't be no next time
I apologize, even though I know it's lies
I'm tired of the games, I just want her back, I know I'm a liar
If she ever tries to fuckin' leave again, I'ma tie her to the bed
And set this house on fire
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
