    Words are flying out like
    endless rain into a paper cup
    They slither while they pass
    They slip away across the universe
    Pools of sorrow waves of joy
    are drifting thorough my open mind
    Possessing and caressing me

    Jai guru deva om
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world

    Images of broken light which
    dance before me like a million eyes
    That call me on and on across the universe
    Thoughts meander like a
    restless wind inside a letter box
    they tumble blindly as
    they make their way across the universe

    Jai guru deva om
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world

    Sounds of laughter shades of life
    are ringing through my open ears
    exciting and inviting me
    Limitless undying love which
    shines around me like a million suns
    It calls me on and on across the universe

    Jai guru deva om
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Jai guru deva
    Jai guru deva

    Er... Anyone else thinking that there's a difference between songs that you really like and song with really great lyrics?

    Rush- Freewill

    There are those who think that life has nothing left to chance take,
    A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance.

    A planet of playthings,
    We dance on the strings
    Of powers we cannot perceive
    "The stars aren't aligned,
    Or the gods are malign..."
    Blame is better to give than receive.

    Chorus
    You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
    If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
    You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill;
    I will choose a path that's clear
    I will choose freewill.

    There are those who think that they were dealt a losing hand,
    The cards were stacked against them; they weren't born in Lotusland.

    All preordained
    A prisoner in chains
    A victim of venomous fate.
    Kicked in the face,
    You can't pray for a place
    In heaven's unearthly estate.

    Chorus

    Each of us
    A cell of awareness
    Imperfect and incomplete.
    Genetic blends
    With uncertain ends
    On a fortune hunt that's far too fleet.

    Chorus

    And as the sunset came to meet
    The evening on the hill
    I told you I'd always love
    I always did and I always will

    thanks to the wire for this one!

    I'm biased in my Rammstein love. This song reminds me of The Matrix.



    Die Tränen greiser Kinderschar
    ich zieh sie auf ein weißes Haar
    werf in die Luft die nasse Kette
    und wünsch mir, dass ich eine Mutter hätte
    Keine Sonne die mir scheint
    keine Brust hat Milch geweint
    in meiner Kehle steckt ein Schlauch
    Hab keinen Nabel auf dem Bauch
    Mutter
    Ich durfte keine Nippel lecken
    und keine Falte zum Verstecken
    niemand gab mir einen Namen
    gezeugt in Hast und ohne Samen
    Der Mutter die mich nie geboren
    hab ich heute Nacht geschworen
    ich werd ihr eine Krankheit schenken
    und sie danach im Fluss versenken
    Mutter
    In ihren Lungen wohnt ein Aal
    auf meiner Stirn ein Muttermal
    entferne es mit Messers Kuss
    auch wenn ich daran sterben muss
    Mutter
    In ihren Lungen wohnt ein Aal
    auf meiner Stirn ein Muttermal
    entferne es mit Messers Kuss
    auch wenn ich verbluten muss
    Mutter
    oh gib mir Kraft


    Translation: The tears of a crowd of very old children
    I string them on a white hair
    I throw the wet chain into the air
    and wish that I had a mother
    No sun shines for me
    there was no breast that cried milk
    there is a tube that sticks in my throat
    I have no navel on my stomach
    Mother
    I was not allowed to lick any nipples
    and there was no fold to hide in
    no one gave me a name
    fathered in haste and without sperm
    For the mother who never gave birth to me
    I have sworn tonight
    I will send her a sickness
    and afterwards make her sink in the river
    Mother
    An eel lives in her lungs
    on my forehead, a birthmark
    remove it with the kiss of a knife
    even if it causes me to die
    Mother
    An eel lives in her lungs
    on my forehead, a birthmark
    remove it with the kiss of a knife
    even if it causes me to bleed to death
    Mother
    Oh give me strength

    Animales de Laboratorio by Ska-P is a song about animal experimentation and the lyrics are extremely convincing for their argument against it. The song is in Spanish and the lyrcis come across better in Spanish but the gist of them in English is this:

    Since the beginning of time,
    The relationship between man and animals has been about survival.
    However, man has developed his intelligence to become the cruelest beast to ever walk the land.

    Good night and welcome to the animal's Hell,
    Make your way to the laboratory,
    And see how it impresses you.

    In the name of science,
    this investigation will check Draize LD50, or vivisection.

    In the name of progress, civilisation.
    Suffering and agony, murder, violation.

    Experimentation, brutality, annihilation,
    Is this holocaust or science in the animal kingdom?
    Brutality, extermination, I ask you who is more irrational?

    Mutilated animals, eviscerated, pain.
    Skulls, blood and screams, meat and feathers.
    If this movement bothers you and you want to be it's voice,
    be on guard, get a move on, we need more than two.

    Experimentation, brutality, annihilation,
    Is this holocaust or science in the animal kingdom?
    Brutality, extermination, I ask you who is more irrational?

    We have drilled holes into the brain of this cat to pour toxic substances into it and note the reactions from it's nervous systems,
    provoking a long and terrible agony.
    We are going to practice the vivisection and separation of the muscles while it's still alive.
    Look at it's face! Almost human, it's suffering the worst of all tortures.
    His eyes wide with panic, begging to stop.
    Enough! Enough! We beg you to stop!

    Experimentation, brutality, annihilation,
    Is this holocaust or science in the animal kingdom?
    Brutality, extermination, I ask you who is more irrational?

    Don't hide this cruel assassination, don't hide this cruel assassination, this cruel assassination!

    Havin' lunch and debatin' Ferrari prices
    23 and goin' through a midlife crisis
    But trust me, I still deliver like a midwife
    And no, I'm not sayin' I'm the nicest, I just live like it
    Uh, it take a certain type of man to teach
    To be far from hood, but to understand the streets
    I never threw away that paper with my Grammy speech Because I haven't hit the pinnacles I plan to reach
    Yeah, you gotta own it if you want it
    Kisses all on her body, she tells me live in the moment And, baby, I'll never forget none of that
    Girl, I told you I was coming back

    This song always fills me with hope. Elbow - One day like this, it is so simple with words, but so effective.
    http://www.lyrics007.com/Elbow%20Lyrics/One%20Day%20Like%20This%20Lyrics.html

    From a favourite band of mine, it's is thoughtful and full of imagery and opinion changes
    http://www.streetdirectory.com/lyricadvisor/song/cjauwu/floating_in_the_forth/

    And simply because i find this dude quirky in his approach to things and his descriptons. You always hear the lyrics as they are always just a bit different

    new order - chosen time
    One day it's now or never
    To stay at home
    Sometimes the dreams are better
    One thing you hold
    Believe that all these changes
    Keep me alone
    What brought the last reaction
    I'll never know
    I'll never know
    I'll never know
    Believe me, all I said to you
    Believe me, all I did for you
    All I did for you
    All the times it takes to complain
    But live in doubt
    Sometimes they keep you waiting
    For a look around
    I've got a friend in here somewhere
    Who can help me out
    Believe me, all I said to you
    Believe me, all I did for you
    All I did for you

    'If I Get Murdered In The City' - The Avett Brothers

    First and last verse:
    If I get murdered in the city,
    don't go revengin' in my name.
    One person dead from such is plenty,
    no need to go get locked away
    When I leave your arms,
    Some things I think of
    No need to get over-alarmed
    I'm coming home

    If I get murdered in the city,
    go read the letter in my desk.
    Don't bother with all my belongings,
    but pay attention to the list.
    Make sure my sister knows I love her,
    make sure my mother knows the same
    Always remember there was nothing worth sharing like the love that let us share our name.

    'In My Time Of Need' - Ryan Adams
    Lord we married young and stayed where we came from
    And gave those children everything we had
    Will you stay with me in my time of need
    Though it seems we had such little time for us
    Will you say to me a little rains gonna come
    When the sky cant offer none to me
    Cause I will come for you
    When my days are through
    And Ill let your smile just off and carry me

    'To Be The One' - Ryan Adams
    And the empty bottle it misses you
    Yeah and I'm the one that its talking to
    And with you and I just barely strangers
    I'm pretty much just left the fool
    Damn don't the streets feel empty though
    Just wandering round here without you

    Oh the empty bottle it misses you and I'm the one its talking to
    And I don't know which is worse
    To wake up and see the sun

    Or to be the one be the one that's gone

    And a whole pile of other Ryan Adams songs too :)

    The Hand that Rocks the Cradle -The Smiths

    I dont know if these are the best but they fascinate me on a number of levels.


    Please don't cry
    For the ghost and the storm outside
    Will not invade this sacred shrine
    Nor infiltrate your mind
    My life down I shall lie
    If the bogey-man should try
    To play tricks on your sacred mind
    To tease, torment, and tantalise
    Wavering shadows loom
    A piano plays in an empty room
    There'll be blood on the cleaver tonight
    And when darknesss lifts and the room is bright
    I'll still be by your side
    For you are all that matters
    And I'll love you to till the day I die
    There never need be longing in your eyes
    As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
    Ceiling shadows shimmy by
    And when the wardrobe towers like a beast of prey
    There's sadness in your beautiful eyes
    Oh, your untouched, unsoiled, wonderous eyes
    My life down I shall lie
    Should restless spirits try
    To play tricks on your sacred mind
    I once had a child, and it saved my life
    And I never even asked his name
    I just looked into his wondrous eyes
    And said : "never never never again"
    And all too soon I did return
    Just like a moth to a flame
    So rattle my bones all over the stones
    I'm only a beggar-man whom nobody owns
    Oh, see how words as old as sin
    Fit me like a glove
    I'm here and here I'll stay
    Together we lie, together we pray
    There never need be longing in your eyes
    As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
    As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
    Mine
    Climb up on my knee, sonny boy
    Although you're only three, sonny boy
    You're - you're mine
    And your mother she just never knew
    Oh, your mother ...
    As long ... as long ... as long
    I did my best for her
    I did my best for her
    As long ... as long ... as long as ... as long
    I did my best for her
    I did my best for her
    Oh ...

    Libraries gave us power
    Then work came and made us free
    But what price now for a shallow piece of dignity

    I wish I had a bottle
    Right here in my dirty face to wear the scars
    To show from where I came

    We don’t talk about love we only want to get drunk
    And we are not allowed to spend
    As we are told that this is the end

    A design for life

    I wish I had a bottle
    Right here in my pretty face to wear the scars
    To show from where I came

    We don’t talk about love we only want to get drunk
    And we are not allowed to spend
    As we are told that this is the end

    A design for life

    Three important rules for breaking up
    Don't put off breaking up when you know you want to
    Prolonging the situation only makes it worse
    Tell him honestly, simply, kindly, but firmly
    Don't make a big production
    Don't make up an elaborate story
    This will help you avoid a big tear jerking scene
    If you wanna date other people say so
    Be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected
    Even if you've gone together for only a short time,
    And haven't been too serious,
    There's still a feeling of rejection
    When someone says she prefers the company of others
    To your exclusive company,
    But if you're honest, and direct,
    And avoid making a flowery emotional speech when you break the news,
    The boy will respect you for your frankness,
    And honestly he'll appreciate the kind of straight forward manner
    In which you told him your decision
    Unless he's a real jerk or a cry baby you'll remain friends

    I'm head of the class
    I'm popular
    I'm a quarter back
    I'm popular
    My mom says I'm a catch
    I'm popular
    I'm never last picked
    I got a cheerleader chick

    Being attractive is the most important thing there is
    If you wanna catch the biggest fish in your pond
    You have to be as attractive as possible
    Make sure to keep your hair spotless and clean
    Wash it at least every two weeks
    Once every two weeks
    And if you see Johnny football hero in the hall
    Tell him he played a great game
    Tell him you liked his article in the newspaper

    I'm the party star
    I'm popular
    I've got my own car
    I'm popular
    I'll never get caught
    I'm popular
    I make football bets.
    I'm a teachers pet


    I propose we support a one month limit on going steady
    I think It will keep people more able to deal with weird situations
    And get to know more people
    I think if you're ready to go out with Johnny
    Now's the time to tell him about your one month limit
    He wont mind he'll appreciate your fresh look on dating
    And once you've dated someone else you can date him again
    I'm sure he'll like it
    Everyone will appreciate it
    You're so novel what a good idea
    You can keep your time to your self
    You don't need date insurance
    You can go out with whoever you want to
    Every boy, every boy, in the whole world could be yours
    If you'll just listen to my plan
    THE TEENAGE GUIDE TO POPULARITY

    I'm head of the class
    I'm popular
    I'm a quarter back
    I'm popular
    My mom says I'm a catch
    I'm popular
    I'm never last picked
    I'm a cheerleader chick

    I'm the party star
    I'm popular
    I've got my own car
    I'm popular
    I'll never get caught
    I'm popular
    I'm a teachers pet
    I make football bets.

    Almost anything from the Mountain Goats! This is one of my favourites:

    Moon Over Goldsboro

    I went down to the gas station
    for no particular reason
    Heard the screams from the high school
    It's football season

    Empty lot the station faces
    Will probably be there forever
    I climbed over the four foot fence
    I was trying to sever the tether

    Moon in the sky
    Cold as a stone
    Spend each night in your arms
    Always wake up alone

    I lay down in the weeds
    It was a real cold night
    I was happy 'til the overnight attendant
    Switched on the floodlight

    Walking home I was talking to you under my breath
    Saying things I would never say directly
    I heard a siren on the highway up ahead
    Kinda wished they'd come and get me
    Frost on the sidewalk
    White as a bone
    Tried to get close to you again
    Always wake up alone

    And as I was crossing our doorstep
    I hesitated just a moment there
    Remembered the day we moved in to our small house
    'til the vision got too vivid to bear

    You were almost asleep
    Halfway undressed
    I lay right down next to you
    held your head against my chest

    And a guy with any kind of courage
    would maybe stop to think the matter through
    Maybe hold you still and raise the question
    Instead of blindly holding onto you

    But we crank up the heat
    And you giggle and moan
    Spend all night in the company of ghosts
    Aways wake up alone

    "I'd like to drop my trousers to the world,
    I am a man of means
    Of slender means"

    "I hate the way that you are so sarcastic
    and you're not very bright
    you think that everything you've done's fantastic
    your music's ****e it keeps me up all night, up all night"

    Maybe not the most profound lyrics ever written, but two of my favourites!

    Always loved the lyrics of Bowies Bewlay Brothers. I assume its an example of him employing the cut up technique but don't know for sure
    And so the story goes they wore the clothes
    They said the things to make it seem improbable
    The whale of a lie like they hope it was
    And the Goodmen Tomorrow
    Had their feet in the wallow
    And their heads of Brawn were nicer shorn
    And how they bought their positions with saccharin and trust
    And the world was asleep to our latent fuss
    Sighing, the swirl through the streets
    Like the crust of the sun
    The Bewlay Brothers
    In our Wings that Bark
    Flashing teeth of Brass
    Standing tall in the dark
    Oh, And we were Gone
    Hanging out with your Dwarf Men
    We were so turned on
    By your lack of conclusions

    I was Stone and he was Wax
    So he could scream, and still relax, unbelievable
    And we frightened the small children away
    And our talk was old and dust would flow
    Thru our veins and Lo! it was midnight
    Back at the kitchen door
    Like the grim face on the Cathedral floor
    And the solid book we wrote
    Cannot be found today
    And it was Stalking time for the Moonboys
    The Bewlay Brothers
    With our backs on the arch
    In the Devil-may-be-here
    But He can't sing about that
    Oh, And we were Gone
    Real Cool Traders
    We were so Turned On
    You thought we were Fakers

    Now the dress is hung, the ticket pawned
    The Factor Max that proved the fact
    Is melted down
    And woven on the edging of my pillow
    Now my Brother lays upon the Rocks
    He could be dead, He could be not
    He could be You
    He's Chameleon, Comedian, Corinthian and Caricature
    Shooting-up Pie-in-the-Sky
    The Bewlay Brothers
    In the feeble and the Bad
    Bewlay Brothers
    In the Blessed and Cold
    In the Crutch-hungry Dark
    Was where we flayed our Mark
    Oh, and we were Gone
    Kings of Oblivion
    We were so Turned On
    In the Mind-Warp Pavilion

    Lay me place and bake me Pie
    I'm starving for me Gravy
    Leave my shoes, and door unlocked
    I might just slip away, hey

    Just for the Day, Hey!
    Hey, Please come Away, Hey!
    Just for the Day, Hey!
    Please come Away, Hey!
    Please come Away, Hey!
    Just for the Day
    Please come Away
    Please come Away
    Please come Away
    Please come Away
    Away
    (Away)
    Away
    Hey

    The following two songs are really the first that come to mind when I think about beautiful lyrics, and to me that's what makes them the best.


    Mad World


    All around me are familiar faces
    Worn out places, worn out faces
    Bright and early for the daily races
    Going nowhere, going nowhere

    Their tears are filling up their glasses
    No expression, no expression
    Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
    No tomorrow, no tomorrow

    And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
    The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
    I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
    When people run in circles its a very, very
    Mad world, mad world

    Children waiting for the day they feel good
    Happy birthday, happy birthday
    And I feel the way that every child should
    Sit and listen, sit and listen

    Went to school and I was very nervous
    No one knew me, no one knew me
    Hello teacher tell me, what's my lesson?
    Look right through me, look right through me

    And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
    The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
    I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
    When people run in circles its a very, very
    Mad world, mad world, enlarging your world
    Mad world


    The Book Of Love

    The book of love is long and boring
    No one can lift the damn thing
    It's full of charts and facts and figures,
    and instructions for dancing
    But I
    I love it when you read to me
    And you
    You can read me anything
    The book of love has music in it
    In fact that's where music comes from
    Some of it's just transcendental
    Some of it's just really dumb
    But I
    I love it when you sing to me
    And you
    You can sing me anything
    The book of love is long and boring
    And written very long ago
    It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
    And things we're all too young to know
    But I
    I love it when you give me things
    And you
    You ought to give me wedding rings
    And I
    I love it when you give me things
    And you
    You ought to give me wedding rings
    You ought to give me wedding rings

    This is the first day of my life
    I swear I was born right in the doorway
    I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
    They're spreading blankets on the beach

    Yours is the first face that I saw
    I think I was blind before I met you
    Now I don’t know where I am
    I don’t know where I’ve been
    But I know where I want to go

    And so I thought I’d let you know
    That these things take forever
    I especially am slow
    But I realize that I need you
    And I wondered if I could come home

    Remember the time you drove all night
    Just to meet me in the morning
    And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
    You felt as if you'd just woke up
    And you said “this is the first day of my life
    I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you
    But now I don’t care I could go anywhere with you
    And I’d probably be happy”

    So if you want to be with me
    With these things there’s no telling
    We just have to wait and see
    But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
    Than waiting to win the lottery
    Besides maybe this time is different
    I mean I really think you like me

    Video is amazing too. Bright Eyes - First Day of my Life.

    Pulp's Razzmatazz is the best post-breakup song ever written
    The trouble with your brother,
    he's always sleeping with your mother.
    And I know that your sister missed her time again this month.
    Am I talking too fast or are you just playing dumb?
    If you want I can write it down.
    It should matter to you,
    cos aren't you the one,
    with your razzmatazz and the nights on the town?

    Oh you knew it, and you blew it didn't you babe?
    I was lying when I asked you to stay.
    Now no-one's gonna care,
    if you don't call them when you said.
    And he's not coming round tonight to try and talk you into bed.
    And all those stupid little things,
    they ain't working,
    no they ain't working any more.

    You started getting fatter,
    three weeks after I left you.
    And now you're going with some kid who looks like some bad comedian.
    Are you gonna go out?
    Or are you sitting at home eating boxes of Milk Tray?
    Watch TV on your own, aren't you the one,
    with your razzmatazz and your nights on the town?

    And your father wants to help you doesn't he babe?
    But your mother wants to put you away.
    Now no-one's gonna care,
    if you don't call them when you said.
    And he's not coming round tonight to try and talk you into bed.
    And all those stupid little things,
    they ain't working,
    no they ain't working any more.

    Oh well I saw you at the doctor's,
    waiting for a test.
    You tried to look like some kind of heiress,
    but your face is such a mess.
    And now you're going to a party,
    and you're leaving on your own.
    Well, I'm sorry, but didn't you say,
    that things go better with a little bit of razzamatazz?

    And now no-one's gonna care,
    if you don't call them when you said.
    And he's not coming round tonight to try and talk you into bed.
    Now it's half past ten in the evening,
    and you wish that you were dead,
    cos all those stupid little things,
    they ain't working,
    no they ain't working any more.

    I see you standing, standing on your own,
    It's such a lonely place for you, for you to be,
    If you need a shoulder, or if you need a friend,
    I'll be there standing, until the bitter end,
    No-one needs the sorrow, no-one needs the pain,
    I hate to see you, walking out there, out in the rain,
    So don't chastise me, or think I, I mean you harm,
    Of those that take you, leave you strung out,
    Much to far, baby, yeah....
    Don't ever leave me, say you'll always be there,
    All I ever wanted, was for you, to know that I care.

    I ike a lot of Guns N' Roses lyrics, especially Rocket Queen and Don't Damn Me especially. But I find a lot of their songs have very clever lyrics.
