I'll have to get back on the next four but, for now my No. 1 song lyrics of all time is:

"So I'll meet you at the bottom if there really is one
They always told me when you hit it you'll know it
But I've been falling so long it's like gravity's gone and I'm just floating"

Gravity's Gone by the Drive-By Truckers

just to name a few...

So many things I would have done but clouds got in my way. - "Both Sides Now" by Joni Mitchell

The band is just fantastic, That is really what I think, Oh, by the way, which one's Pink? - "Have a Cigar" by Pink Floyd

No-one, I think, is in my tree / I mean, it must be high or low - "Strawberry Fields Forever" by the Beatles

They say I got brains / But they ain't doing me no good / I wish they could...
- "I Just Wasn't Made for These Times" by the Beach Boys

In no order:

1. Rape me, Rape me, again--Nirvana

2. Sexy Sadie, what have you done?--The Beatles

3. Don't look so frightened, this is just a passing phase, one of my bad days----Pink Floyd

4. Ass, Titties, Ass and Titties--DJ Assault

5. I Don't Like The Drugs, But the Drugs Like Me--Marilyn Manson\

This is a great thread but in 10- mintues, I will come up with a whole new set of lyrics.

If you don't have any meat, how can you have any pudding? How can you have any pudding if you don't have your meat?
De Do Do Do De Da Da Da
The whole lyrics to American Pie
The whole lyrics to Hotel California
Also the 'looking for the lost shaker of salt' from Margaritaville has always got me -- not sure why.

Hounourable mention to whole song lyrics for Paradise by the Dashboard Light and The Gambler.

Across the Universe - The Beatles

"Words are flying out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe"

Minus - Beck

"Don't be confused when your fuse is up
And you're taking a leak into your brother's cup
When the cup is filled you can run and be killed"

I Hope, I Think, I Know - Oasis

"They're trying hard to put me in my place
And that is why I gotta keep running
The future's mine and its no disgrace
Cos in the end the past means nothing
You tell me I'm free then you tie me down
And from my chains I think it's a pity
What did it cost you to wear my crown
You don't like it so why don't you admit it
D'you feel a little down today?
Bet you ain't got much to say?
You're gonna miss me when I'm not there
And you know I don't care, you know I don't care
As we beg and steal and borrow
Life is hit and miss and this
I Hope, I Think, I Know
And if I ever hear the names you call
If I stumble catch me when I fall
Cos baby after all, you'll never forget my name"

The Emperor's New Clothes - Sinéad O'Connor

"through they're own words
they will be exposed
they've got a severe case of
the emperor's new clothes."

Falling Down - Tears For Fears

"Well I lied to the nation
While my reputation ran dry
From my lungs to my liver
I clung to the river bank's side
Yeah well I'm back in the water
Doing what I oughta
Trying to lead an ordinary life

Is this world spinning round
Has this ship run aground
What's that shape
What's that sound
That's just me falling down"

"You don't have to read my mind, to know what I have in mind
Honey you oughta know....
Now you move so fine, let me lay it on the line
I wanna know what you're doin' after the show....

Now it's up to you, we can make a secret rendezvous
Just me and you, I'll show you lovin' like you never knew...cause I'm Hot Blooded"


I love how he "layed it on the line" by asking this mind reading skank what she was doin' after the show.

Black then white are all i see,
in my infancy.
Red and yellow then came to be,
reaching out to me,
lets me see.
There is so much more and
it beckons me
to look thru to these
infinite possibilities.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.


-"Lateralus" by Tool
