Best Song Lyrics Ever

A lot on here I like, one I wanted to add, just because it's such a good way of saying how much you love someone, just thrown in casually in a list of things he's been doing at work.
"And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time"
Wichita Lineman (Jimmy Webb wrote it, Glen Campbell sang it first)3 -
Yes I know what you mean - I posted the Coral lyrics above because they tell a little story that many of us would have some level of empathy with!Stig said:Some great lyrics on here. But for me, only the ones I already knew. I read the unfamiliar lyrics and they all seem a bit meh. I guess you need to hear them in context. Anyone else noticed this?
That's a great call. Love that song.rananegra said:A lot on here I like, one I wanted to add, just because it's such a good way of saying how much you love someone, just thrown in casually in a list of things he's been doing at work.

Meatloaf - 2 out of 3 aint bad
"I want you, I need you, but I'm never gonna love you"1 -
I grew up listening to Meat Loaf on the way back from Charlton games. It's only when I got a little older that I realised how brilliant the lyrics are. "I want you, need you, won't love you, but chin up darling, cos you scored 2 out of 3"!golfaddick said:

Also, Bat Out Of Hell is basically "I've had a one night stand and as soon as I am done I am getting the fuck out of there."
See also: Paradise By The Dashboard Light, which is about a guy getting his end away with a girl in a car, who then stops him and makes him declare undying love for her in order to shag her. He does, then ends up having to marry her and thus, lives a miserable life.
"I couldn't take it any longer
Lord I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me
Like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god
And on my mother's grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore I would love you to the end of time"
(But...)
"So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all I can do (ooh, ooh)
I'm praying for the end of time
So I can end my time with you"2 -
These days I sit around and laugh
At the many rivers I've crossed
But on the far banks there's always another forest
Where a man can get lost
Well there in the high trees love's bluebird glides
Guiding us 'cross to another river on the other side
And there someone is waitin' with a look in her eyes
And though my heart's grown weary
And more than a little bit shy
Tonight I'll drink from her waters to quench my thirst
And leave the angels to worry
With every wish...

Was I going to post the final conclusion to Der Abschied (Das Lied Von Der Erde - Mahler) but would seem as bit potentious but it always has me in tears. Erwig (farewell). Roll over Beethoven!0

'Her beautiful arse
Cantilevering
Over a table of hors d'oeuvres
She took a sip of her drink
And said 'Hey,
This music really gets on my nerves'
I defy anyone to find the word cantilevering in any other song ever.
(She's sad, she said, The Judybats).

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.0 -
The Jam – The Eton Rifles Lyrics
Sup up your beer and collect your fags,
There's a row going on down near slough,
Get out your mat and pray to the west,
I'll get out mine and pray for myself.
Thought you were smart when you took them on,
But you didn't take a peep in their artillery room,
All that rugby puts hairs on your chest,
What chance have you got against a tie and a crest.0 -
The Butterfly Collector
The Jam
Lyrics
So you finally got what you wanted
You've achieved your aim by making me walk in line
And when you just can't get any higher
You use your senses to suss out this week's climber
And the small fame that you've acquired
Has brought you into cult status
But to me you're still a collector
There's tarts and whores but you're much more
You're a different kind 'cause you want their minds
And you just don't care 'cause you've got no pride
It's just a face on your pillowcase
That thrills you
And you started looking much older
And your fashion sense is second-rate like your perfume
But to you in your little dream world
You're still the queen of the butterfly collectors
As you carry on 'cause it's all you know
You can't light a fire, you can't cook or sew

There's always -
The distant echo -
of faraway voices boarding faraway trains
To take them home to
the ones that they love and who love them forever
The glazed, dirty steps - repeat my own and reflect my thoughts
Cold and uninviting, partially naked
Except for toffee wrapers and this morning's papers
Mr. Jones got run down
Headlines of death and sorrow - they tell of tomorrow
Madmen on the rampage
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight
I fumble for change - and pull out the Queen
Smiling, beguiling
I put in the money and pull out a plum
Behind me
Whispers in the shadows - gruff blazing voices
Hating, waiting
"Hey boy" they shout "have you got any money?"
And I said "I've a little money and a take away curry,
I'm on my way home to my wife.
She'll be lining up the cutlery,
You know she's expecting me
Polishing the glasses and pulling out the cork"
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight
I first felt a fist, and then a kick
I could now smell their breath
They smelt of pubs and Wormwood Scrubs
And too many right wing meetings
My life swam around me
It took a look and drowned me in its own existence
The smell of brown leather
It blended in with the weather
It filled my eyes, ears, nose and mouth
It blocked all my senses
Couldn't see, hear, speak any longer
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight
I said I was down in the tube station at midnight
The last thing that I saw
As I lay there on the floor
Was "Jesus Saves" painted by an atheist nutter
And a British Rail poster read "Have an Awayday - a cheap holiday -
Do it today!"
I glanced back on my life
And thought about my wife
'Cause they took the keys - and she'll think it's me
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight
The wine will be flat and the curry's gone cold
I'm down in the tube station at midnight
Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight
and always liked
For liberty there is a cost - its broken skulls and leather cosh,
From the boys in uniform - now you know whose side their on -
With backing - with blessing,
From earthly gods not heaven,
A stones throw away from it all.
Whatever pleasures those who get - from stripping skin with rhino whip,
Are the kind that must be stopped - before their kind take all we've got -
With loving - with caring,
They take great pride in working,
The stones throw away from it all.
Whenever honesty persists - you'll hear the snap of broken ribs,
Of anyone who'll take no more - of the lying bastards roar -
In Chile - In Poland,
Johannesburg - South Yorkshire,
A stones throw away: Now we're there.
and from the glimmer twins, always liked the lines -
When I'm watchin' my TV
And that man comes on to tell me
How white my shirts can be
But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarrettes as me.

The Divine Comedy - To Die A Virgin:
The other day I discovered
A magazine of my brother's
I read it under the covers
It got me all hot and bothered.
Now every time that I see you
Your uniform becomes see-through
You don't know how much I need you
The "Handy Andys" I've been through
I don't want to die a virgin1 - Sponsored links:

Soft Cell - Sex Dwarf.
Isn't it nice
Sugar and spice
Luring disco dollies
To a life of vice
I can make a film
And make you my star
You'll be a natural
The way you are
I would like you
On a long black leash
I will parade you
Down the high streets
You've got the attraction
You've got the pulling power
Walk my doggie
Walk my little sex dwarf
We can make a scene
We'll be a team
Making the headlines
Sounds like a dream
When we hit the floor
You just watch them move aside
We will take them
For a ride of rides
They all love your
Miniature ways
You know what they say
About small boys
Sex dwarf
Sex dwarf
Sex dwarf
Sex dwarf
I'm a Rolls Royce
Look its so huge!
It's big and it's gold
With my dumb chauffeur
Looking to procure
Run little doggie
Lure a disco dolly
Run my little sex dwarf
I feel so lonely
Get my little camera
Take a pretty picture
Sex dwarf in a gold Rolls
Making it with the dumb chauffeur
Isn't it nice
Sugar and spice
Luring disco dollies
To a life of vice
Sex dwarf
Isn't it nice
Luring disco dollies
To a life of vice
Sex dwarf
We can make an outfit
For my little sex dwarf
To match the gold Rolls
On my dumb chauffeur
We'll all look so good
We'll knock 'em cold
Knocking 'em cold
In black and gold
We can have playtime
In my little playroom
Disco dollies
My sex dwarf
And my dumb chauffeur
I would like you
On a long black leash
You can bring me
All the things I need
Sex dwarf
Isn't it nice
Luring disco dollies
To a life of vice
Sex dwarf
Isn't it nice
Luring disco dollies
To a life of vice
Sex dwarf
Sex dwarf
Isn't it nice
Luring disco dollies
To a life of vice
Sex dwarf
Isn't it nice
Luring disco dollies
To a life of vice
