Best Lyrics

[Prushka]

What song lyrics do you like best/think are best written?

Granted...you really need the music/vocals to pick up the nuances.

I really think these lyrics from "Everybody knows" by Leonard Cohen are classic

Cher - The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss)
Does he love me, I wanna know
How can I tell if he loves me so?

[Is it in his eyes?]
Oh, no you'll be deceived
[Is it in his sighs?]
Oh, no he'll make believe
If you wanna know
[Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop]
If he loves you so
[Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop]
It's in his kiss
[That's where it is, oh yeah]

[Or is it in his face?]
On no, it's just his charms
[In his warm embrace?]
On no, that's just his arms
If you wanna know
[Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop]
If he loves you so
[Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop]
It's in his kiss
[That's where it is]
Oh, it's in his kiss
[That's where it is]

Whoa, hug him and squeeze him tight
Find out what you wanna know
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in his kiss

[How 'bout the way he acts?]
Oh no, that's not the way
You're not listenin' to all I said
If you wanna know
[Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop]
If he loves you so
[Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop]
It's in his kiss
[That's where it is]
Oh, It's in his kiss
[That's where it is]

Whoa, hug him and squeeze him tight
Find out what you wanna know
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in his kiss

[How 'bout the way he acts?]
Oh no, that's not the way
You're not listenin' to all I said
If you wanna know
[Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop]
If he loves you so
[Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop]
It's in his kiss
[That's where it is]

Oh, It's in his kiss
[That's where it is]
Oh, yeah it's in his kiss
[It's in hiss kiss]
[That's where it is]
Ooh, it's in his kiss
[It's in hiss kiss]
That's where it is

It's in his kiss
That's where it is
Ooh, it's in his kiss
That's where it is
Ooh, oh it's in his kiss
Oh, oh, it's in the kiss
That's where it is

I only rememberd the shoop shoop bits :D

[Tyler Durden]

pearl jam is always good.

The selfish they’re all standing in line...
Faith in their hope and to buy themselves time.
Me, I figure as each breath goes by,
I only own my mind.

The north is to south what the clock is to time.
There’s east and there’s west and there everywhere life.
I know that I was born and I know that I’ll die.
The in between is mine. I am mine.

And the feeling it gets left behind...
Oh the innocence broken with time...
We’re different behind the eyes, there’s no need to hide.
We’re safe tonight.

The ocean is full cause everyone’s crying,
The full moon is looking for friends at high tide.
The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrows denied.
I only know my mind. I am mine.

And the feeling it gets left behind...
Oh the innocence broken with time.
We’re different between the lines, there’s no need to hide...
Cause we’re safe tonight.

And the feeling it gets left behind...
Oh the innocence broken with time.
We’re different behind the eyes, there’s no need to hide.

And the feeling it gets left behind...
Oh the innocence broken with lies.
We’re different behind the eyes.
We’re safe tonight.

Dust in the Wind - Kansas

[Johnny Fist]

Integrity - Salvations Malevolence

severed forever, i`m never getting up again
i`ve breathed in life - don`t want this to ever end
stolen glance and I can`t to save the end of me
temptation fills the house - sin of iniquities
cast shadows walk into my light
all my soul consumed by pride
i`ve feared the heavens for far too long
await this moment with open arms
denied ascent, forbitten salvation
this blind contmpt can`t go unanswered
on my knees, i can`t breath
in this infernal damnatio
seasons in the size of days, i wait
confined by salvation`s malevolence
to decide my fate
all alone, i call your near
you`ve shown compassion...and sincere
look at the place that i`m in
blanked by your prejudice, your fears, your ignorance
still, in the corner i see them stalking me
they taste the cowardice in the air
enhancing their hunger, they move in closer
terror blinds, salvation`s gratitude confines
i can almost feel the demon
ingested soul
i`ve sworn eternal vengeance
to the deceit that let me go
revere the hatred in his eyes
before my turn never arrives
avenge my soul, unjustly sized
i`ve looked and i`ve tried
can`t see the reason
between the lies
baptisms curse involves entirely
casting upon an immense dedision
saviours scorn, crown of thorns
salvation.

Sun "Winds of Change" Scorpion

4. WIND OF CHANGE
Music :Klaus Meine
Lyrics:Klaus Meine

I folow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change

The world is closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change

Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forever
I folow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change

The wind of change
Blows straight into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring the freedom bell
For peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change

"Windmills of my mind". , Spinning Wheel.....Blood, Sweat and Tears!

[Tyler Durden]

i took a drive today
time to emancipate
i guess it was the beatings made me wise
but i'm not about to give thanks, or apologize
i couldn't breathe, holdin' me down
hand on my face, pushed to the ground
enmity gauged, united by fear
forced to endure what i could not forgive...
i seem to look away
wounds in the mirror waved
it wasn't my surface most defiled
head at your feet, fool to your crown
fist on my plate, swallowed it down
enmity gauged, united by fear
tried to endure what i could not forgive
saw things
saw things
saw things
saw things
clearer
clearer
once you, were in my...
rearview mirror...
i gather speed from you ****ing with me
once and for all i'm far away
i hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised...
saw things so much clearer
once you, once you...
rearviewmirror...
saw things so much clearer
once you, once you...
rearviewmirror...
