best lyrics

[Connie Sue]

I am big fan of Beck and Nirvana, but I think the best lyrics ever come from Tool from Sober. Here is a little bit:

I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an irabecile.
I will only complicate you.
Trust in me and fall as well.

[x-sb-x]

u kinda have to think on this and be atheist like me but i like styrofoam boots by modest mouse

Well all's not well
but i'm told that it'll all be quite nice
you'll be drowned in boots like Mafia
but your feet will still float like Christ's
and i'll be damned
they were right
i'm drowning upside down
my feet afloat like Christ's
i'm in heaven
trying to figure out which stack
they're going to stuff us atheists into
and when Peter and his monkey laugh
and i laugh with them
i'm not sure what at
they point and say
we'll keep you in the back
polishing halos, baking manna and gas
well some guy comes in looking a bit like everyone i ever seen
he moves just like crisco disco
breath 100% listerine
he says looking at something else
but directing everything to me
ever time anyone gets on their knees to pray
well it makes my telephone ring
and i'll be damned
he said you were right
no one's running this whole thing
he had a theory too
he said that god takes care of himself
he said that god takes care of himself
and you of you
he said that god takes care of himself
he said that god takes care of himself
and you of you
he said that god takes care of himself
he said that god takes care of himself
and you of you
it's all nice
it's all nice
it's all nice on ice alright
it's all nice
it's all nice
it's all nice on ice alright
on ice
on ice
it's all nice
it's all nice
it's all nice on ice alright
it's all nice
it's all nice
it's all nice on ice alright
and it's not day
and it ain't night
but it's all nice on ice alright
all right ok
it's all nice
it's all nice
it's all nice on ice alright
it's all nice
it's all nice
it's all nice on ice alright
it's all nice
it's all nice
it's all nice
it's all nice
it's all nice
it's on the ice
it's all nice on ice alright
it's all nice on ice alright
it's all nice
it's all nice on ice alright i said
it's all nice on ice alright
it's all nice
it's all nice
it's all nice on ice alright
it's all nice
it's all nice
it's all nice on ice alright
yeah well
it's all nice
it's all nice
it's all nice on ice alright
it's all nice
it's all nice
(it's all nice...)
one, two, three, four

[Harshu]

I'm a huge fan of Rush, and obviously love Neil Peart for his percussion skills - however, he is also an amazing writer - (his book on his experiences after his wife and daughter died is amazing) - but some of his lyrics are profound and metaphorical - my personal favorite is 'The Trees'

'There is unrest in the forest,
there is trouble in the trees,
for the Maples want more sunlight,
and the Oaks ignore their pleas'

While perhaps not the best example of his lyrics, the whole song is very cleverly crafted, telling the story of oppression, almost commenting on big business and it's power to overshadow little business...

Just my thoughts!

dont fear the reaper

All our times have come
Here but now they’re gone
Seasons don’t fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain..we can be like they are
Come on baby...don’t fear the reaper
Baby take my hand...don’t fear the reaper
We’ll be able to fly...don’t fear the reaper
Baby I’m your man...

Valentine is done
Here but now they’re gone
Romeo and juliet
Are together in eternity...romeo and juliet
40,000 men and women everyday...like romeo and juliet
40,000 men and women everyday...redefine happiness
Another 40,000 coming everyday...we can be like they are
Come on baby...don’t fear the reaper
Baby take my hand...don’t fear the reaper
We’ll be able to fly...don’t fear the reaper
Baby I’m your man...

Love of two is one
Here but now they’re gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn’t go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared...saying don’t be afraid
Come on baby...and she had no fear
And she ran to him...then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodby...she had become like they are
She had taken his hand...she had become like they are
Come on baby...don’t fear the reaper
