007 Report post Posted August 30, 2004 hey i thought i'd post about what i think are the best lyrics i've ever heard in a song (serious lyrics.. not stupid/funny/immature lyrics xD ) anyways feel free to post your opinions and lyrics.. here are two of my favorites: Yellow Ledbetter - Pearl Jam Unsealed On a porch a letter sat Then you said ’i wanna leave it again’ Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand And on the sand I wanna leave it again... yeah On a weekend I wanna wish it all away yeah... And they called and I said that I want what I said And then I call out again And the reason oughta leave her calm I know I said ’i don’t know whether I’m the box or the bag’ Ah yeah ehh.... Can you see them Out on the porch But they don’t wave I see them round the front way yeah And I know I don’t want to stay... Make me cry <guitar solo> Ooooh I see I don’t know there’s something else I wanna drum it all away Oh I said I don’t, I don’t know whether I’m a box or the bag Ah yeah ehh.... Can you see them Out on the porch But they don’t wave I see them round the front way yeah And I know I don’t want to stay I don’t wanna stay (2x) Don’t Don’t wanna Oh... yeah... oooh... and teh other one: Crazy Mary - Pearl Jam She lived on a curve in the road, in an old tar-paper shack On the south side of the town, on the wrong side of the tracks Sometimes on the way into town we’d say: Mama, can we stop and give her a ride? Sometimes we did but her hands flew from her side Wild eyed, crazy mary Down along the road, past the parson’s place The old blue car we used to race Little country store with a sign tacked to the side Said no l-o-i-t-e-r-i-n-g allowed Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around One night thunder cracked mercy backed outside her windowsill Dreamed I was flying high above the trees, over the hills Looked down into the house of mary Bare bulb on, newspaper-covered walls, and mary rising up above it all Next morning on the way into town Saw some skid marks, and followed them around Over the curve,through the fields, into the house of mary That what you fear the most, could meet you halfway That what you fear the most, could meet you halfway Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sam3773 Report post Posted August 30, 2004 I personnaly think this is the best: LIVING IN A BOX Living in a Box Living in a Box Written by: Marcus Vere/Steve Piggot Woke up this mornin' Closed in on both sides Nothin' doin' I feel resistance As I open my eyes Someone's foolin' I found a way to break through this cellophane bag Cuz I know what's goin' on In your mind I'm a livin' in a box I'm a livin' in a cardboard box I'm a livin' in a box I'm a livin' in a cardboard box I'm a livin' in a box Life goes in circles Around and around Circulating I sometimes wonder What's movin' underground I'm escaping I found a way to break through this cellophane bag Cuz I know what's goin' on In my mind I'm a livin' in a box I'm a livin' in a cardboard box I'm a livin' in a box I'm a livin' in a cardboard box I'm a livin' in a box (guitar solo) Livin' Ahh ha I found a way to break through this cellophane bag Cuz I know what's goin' on In your mind I'm a livin' in a box I'm a livin' in a cardboard box I'm a livin' in a box I'm a livin' in a cardboard box I'm a livin' in a box I'm a livin' in a cardboard box I'm a livin' in a box I'm a livin' in a cardboard box I'm a livin' in a box I'm a livin' in a cardboard box I'm a livin' in a box I'm a livin' in a cardboard box I'm a livin' I'm a livin'....I'm a livin' I'm a livin', I'm a livin'....I'm a livin' I'm a livin' in a box I'm a livin' in a box....

Wytter Report post Posted August 30, 2004 For some reason I really like the following lyric from Machine Head - Deafening Silence, and it has helped me through some rough times: Well... She looked right into my eyes and said to me The hurt that you try to hide is killing me I drink a thousand lies, To freeze the past in time I've tried to fill this silence up But now it's back again See the pain in my eyes See the scars deep inside My God, I'm down in this hole again With the laugh for a smile With the tears that I cry Keep going down this road called life Called life... Well... She says that I'm insecure, I guess she's right 'Cause just when I think I'm sure, alone at night The agonies come back, This pain won't let me be I try to fill the silence up But now it's back again See the pain in my eyes See the scars deep inside My God, I'm down in this hole again With the laugh for a smile With the tears the i cry Keep going down this road called life Don't need your sympathy I just want for this silence To stop killing me It's deafening It's deafening This silence inside me It's deafening It's deafening The silence inside me The silence inside ... I try to fill the silence up But now it's back again It's empty like a suicide This pain inside See the pain in my eyes See the scars deep inside My God, I'm down in this hole again With the laugh for a smile with the tears that I cry Keep going down this road called life Don't need your sympathy I just want for this silence to stop killing me.

MikeH Report post Posted August 31, 2004 These kids arent alright- The Offspring When we were young the future was so bright The old neighborhood was so alive And every kid on the whole damn street Was gonna make it big and not be beat Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn The kids are grown up but their lives are worn How can one little street Swallow so many lives Chances thrown... Nothing's free... Longing for what used to be... Still it's hard.... Hard to see... Fragile lives, shattered dreams... Jamie had a chance, well she really did Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot Jay committed suicide Brandon OD'd and died What the hell is going on The cruelest dream, reality the way they sing that song is so awesome... I Dont Know - Lost prophets Today they asked me, "what do you always seem to find?" But though I could not answer I'd have lost my way And I could tell that this ain't right The morning sunrise seemed to ask me why I tried To find the strength in people who had never thought about a different way of life It just doesn't seem that easy I don't know where to go I don't know what to be I don't know how to change from being me I don't know what to say Maybe another day I'll stop getting lost and find my way, home All I know is gone... But the storms of weather, you know they don't seem to be as bad If you think there's hope from here and there's a life you should now have I don't have answers and no questions spring to mind So here I've ended up now, there's no more signs and the roads are blocked Aw, man... It just doesn't seem that easy I don't know where to go I don't know what to be I don't know how to change from being me I don't know what to say Maybe another day I'll stop getting lost and find my way, home All I know is gone... (I see no reason to move on) I don't know where to go I don't know what to be I don't know how to change from being me I don't know what to say Maybe another day I'll stop getting lost and find my way, home All I know is gone...
