this is still one of the coolest songs ive ever heard.
POST THE LYRICS TO ONE OF THE BEST SONGS YOUVE EVER HEARD.. EVER.
i'll go with Pedro The Lion's "rapture"
This is how we multiply
Pity that it's not my wife
The friction and skin
The trembling sighs
This is how the bodies move
With everything that we could lose
Pushing us deeper still
The sheets and the sweat
The seed and the spill
The bitter pill yet undiscovered
Gideon is in the drawer
Clothes scattered on the floor
She's arching her back
She screams for more
"Oh my sweet rapture
I hear Jesus calling me home"
Finally a chance to breathe
Reaching for the fallen sheets
Collapsing in
A glowing heap
We've gone too far
We've done too much
We have to quit it
Just one more kiss
Just one more touch
Please ten more minutes
This feels so good
Just barely moving
The tension building
Our bodies working
To reach the goal
Oh my sweet rapture
I hear Jesus and the angels
Singing "Hallelujiah"
Calling me to enter the promised land.
ah the whole cd is good. it's a concept album about a failing marriage. SO GOOD SO GOOD SOOOOO GOOD. and the guitarsssss and yeah. ok  most people ask me "why do you like a song about a d00d cheating on his wife?", and it's because atleast it's honest and raw and true. it's not sugarcoated or anything.
ok im done, fo' serious.
oooo, this will be a long thread :-)
Favorite song of all time is "Into the Groove" by Madonna because I can dance to it, and I connect with the lyrics about dancing in my room by myself (because I would NEVER be caught dead or alive dancing in public).
That being said, my favorite lyrics are from "Searching With My Good Eye Closed" by Soundgarden:
Painted blue across my eyes
And tie the linen on
And I'm on my way
Looking for the paradigm
So I can pass it off
Is it on my side?
Is it to the sky?
Looking to the sky and down
Searching for a ground
With my good eye closed
If I took you for a ride
Would you take it wrong
Or would you make it right?
Looking for a pedestal
That I can put you on
And be on my way
Is it to the sky?
Looking to the sky and down
Searching for a ground
With my good eye closed
Stop, you're trying to bruise my mind
I can do it on my own
Stop, you're trying to kill my time
It's been my death since I was born
I don't remember half the time
If I'm hiding or I'm lost
But I'm on my way
(then the best part of the song, involving lots of "WHOOOOOOOO!!"s)
Cheran
---
Qui a besoin d'un coeur quand un coeur peut ?tre cass
i thought i would start out with drops of jupiter by train.
Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's time to change, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey
Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there's room to grow, hey, hey
Now that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way

sorry to be all mainstream, but i had to add this one too. i am not a huge dave matthews fan, but this song really gets me.
Oh look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
She just goes stumbling through her memories
Staring out on to Grey Street
She thinks, ?Hey,
How did I come to this?
I dream myself a thousand times around the world,
But I can?t get out of this place?
There?s an emptiness inside her
And she?d do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart
How she wishes it was different
She prays to God most every night
And though she swears it doesn?t listen
There?s still a hope in her it might
She says, ?I pray
But they fall on deaf ears,
Am I supposed to take it on myself?
To get out of this place?
There?s loneliness inside her
And she?d do anything to fill it in
And though it?s red blood bleeding from her now
It feels like cold blue ice in her heart
When all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart
There?s a stranger speaks outside her door
Says take what you can from your dreams
Make them as real as anything
It?d take the work out of the courage
But she says, ?Please
There?s a crazy man that?s creeping outside my door,
I live on the corner of Grey Street and the end of the world?
There?s an emptiness inside her
And she?d do anything to fill it in
And though it?s red blood bleeding from her now
It?s more like cold blue ice in her heart
She feels like kicking out all the windows
And setting fire to this life
She could change everything about her using colors bold and bright
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart
It breaks her heart
To grey
Word up to that vibe about DMB. I thoroughly enjoy The Space Between and Where Are You Going? Oh yeah; those are real winners. The Space Between is timeless.
For Nine Days it'd be Bob Dylan.. the higggghhhs and the mmmmmms are fantastic..
You can't forget Goo Goo Dolls.. it's a tough choice but thank God they created Slide and Iris..
I also always go back to Filter - Take a Picture. It's a beautiful song and a long one you actually want to sit through.
I absolutely love her when she smiles
That day, that day
What a mess, what a marvel
I walked into that cloud again,
And I lost myself,
And I'm sad, sad, sad,
Small, alone, scared,
Craving purity,
A fragile mind and a gentle spirit.
That day, that day
What a mervelous mess
This is all that I can do,
I'm done to be me
Sad, scared, small, alone, beautiful,
It's supposed to be like this,
I accept everything,
It's supposed to be like this.
That day, that day
I lay down beside myself
In this feeling of pain, sadness
Scared, small, climbing, crawling,
Towards the light,
And it's all I see,
And I'm tired, and I'm right,
And I'm wrong,
And it's beautiful.
That day, that day
What a mess, what a marvel
We're all the same
And no one thinks so,
And it's okay,
And I'm small, and I'm divine,
And it's beautiful,
And it's coming,
But it's already here,
And it's absolutely perfect.
That day, that day
When everything was a mess,
And everything was in place,
And there's too much hurt,
Sad, small, scared, alone,
And everyone's a cynic,
And it's hard, and it's sweet,
But it's supposed to be like this.
That day, that day
When I sat in the sun,
And I thought, and I cried,
Cause I'm sad, scared, small,
Alone, strong,
And I'm nothing, and I'm true,
Only a brave man can break through,
And it's all okay,
Yeath, it's okay.
That day, that day
I lay down beside myself
In this feeling of pain, sadness
Scared, small, climbing, crawling,
Towards the light,
And it's all I see,
And I'm tired, and I'm right,
And I'm wrong,
And it's beautiful.
That day, that day
What a mess,
What a mervelous mess
We're all the same
And no one thinks so,
And it's okay,
And I'm small, and I'm divine,
And it's beautiful,
And it's coming,
But it's already here,
And it's absolutely perfect.
That day, that day
That day, that day
That day, that day
When I lay down beside myself
In this feeling of pain, sadness
Scared, small, climbing, crawling,
Towards the light,
And it's all I see,
And I'm tired, and I'm right,
And I'm wrong,
And it's beautiful.
That day, that day
What a mess,
What a mervelous mess
We're all the same
And no one thinks so,
And it's okay,
And I'm small, and I'm divine,
And it's beautiful,
And it's coming,
But it's already here,
And it's absolutely perfect.
That day, that day
That day, that day
That day, that day
That day, that day
So sweet? Can you feel it?
Are you here? Are you with me? I can feel it.
It's beautiful.
That day? That day?
That day? Absolutely perfect.

Oasis - Don't Go Away (Acquiesce too, but I'm not typing that out)
cold and frosty morning there's not a lot to say
about the things caught in my mind
and as the day is dawning my plane flew away
with all the things caught in my mind
and I don't wanna be there when you're coming down
and I don't wanna be there when you hit the ground
so don't go away
say what you say
but say that you'll stay
forever and a day in the time of my life
'cause i need more time
yes, i need more time, just to make things right
damn my situation and the games i have to play
with all the things caught in my mind
damn my education i can't find the words to say
about the things caught in my mind
and I don't wanna be there when you're coming down
and I don't wanna be there when you hit the ground
so don't go away
say what you say
but say that you'll stay
forever and a day in the time of my life
'cause i need more time
yes, i need more time, just to make things right
me and you what's going on?
all we seem to know is how to show the feelings that are wrong
so don't go away
say what you say
but say that you'll stay
forever and a day in the time of my life
'cause i need more time
yes, i need more time, just to make things right
and don't go away
say what you say
but say that you'll stay
forever and a day in the time of my life
'cause i need more time
yes, i need more time, just to make things right (x3)
so don't go away
and Luv by Travis
what's so wrong
why the face so long
is it over?
and where you going that
you no longer belong here?
and distance tells you that
distance must come between love
where have you been, Luv?
when the mistake we made
was in never having planned to fall in love, Luv
singing this song
singing along
makes it easier for me to see you go
but in doing so
in letting you go
it only serves to show me
that I'm still in love with you
singing this song
singing along
makes it easier for me to see you go
but in doing so
in letting you go
it only serves to show me
that I'm still in love with you
so what's so wrong
why the face?
so long!
are you changing?
and where you been to that
you no longer remember?
and distance tells you that
distance must come between love
where have you been, Luv?
it's just the chance we took
having never ever planned to fall in love, Luv
it's just the chance we took
having never ever planned to fall in love, Luv
it's just the chance we took
having never ever planned to fall in love, Luv
luv
once my lover, now my friend
what a cruel thing to pretend
what a cunning way to condescend
once my lover, and now my friend
oh, you creep up like the clouds
and you set my sould at ease
then you let your love abound
and you bring me to my knees
oh, it's evil babe, the way you let your grace enrapture me
when well you know, i'd be insane to ever let that dirty game recapture me
you made me shadowboxer, baby
i wanna be ready for what you do
i been swinging all around me
cuz i don't know when you're gonna make your move
oh, your gaze is dangerous
and you fill your space so sweet
if i let you get too close
you'll set your spell on me
so darling i just want to say
just in case i don;t come through
i was on to every play
i just wanted you
but, oh, it's so evil my love, the way you've no reverence to my concern
so i'll be sure to stay wary of you, love, to save the pain of
once my flame and twice my burn
you made me a shadowboxer, baby
i wanna be ready for what you do
i been swinging all around me
cuz i don't know when you're gonna make your move
rachel......
thanks alan

Misunderstood by Bon Jovi
(doesn't actually really relate to me but the lyrics are killer!)
Should I? Could I?
Have said the wrong things right a thousand times
If I could just rewind, I see it in my mind
If I could turn back time, you'd still be mine
You cried, I died
I should have shut my mouth, things headed south
As the words slipped off my tongue, they sounded dumb
If this old heart could talk, it'd say you're the one
I'm wasting time when I think about it
Chorus:
I should have drove all night, I would have run all the lights
I was misunderstood
I stumbled like my words, Did the best I could
Damn, misunderstood
Could I? Should I?
Apologize for sleeping on the couch that night
Staying out too late with all my friends
You found me passed out in the yard again
You cried, I tried
To stretch the truth, but didn't lie
It's not so bad when you think about it
Chorus:
I should have drove all night, I would have run all the lights
I was misunderstood
I stumbled like my words, did the best I could
Damn, misunderstood
Intentions good
It's you and I, just think about it...
Chorus:
I should have drove all night
I would have run all the lights
I was misunderstood
I stumbled like my words, did the best I could
I 'm hanging outside your door
I've been here before
Misunderstood
I stumbled like my words, did the best I could
Damn, misunderstood
Intentions good.
Bon Jovi did a benefit concert in his native Jersey..
What a guy and I still don't listen to him/ them!
I absolutely love her when she smiles
No probs Monica 
I missed your thank you because of all the insane amount of lyrics..
But then again we asked for it.
I absolutely love her when she smiles
SERIOUS PROPS TO "DON'T GO AWAY"!!!!
are you a guy or a gal real by the day?
I absolutely love her when she smiles
Anna Begins - Counting Crows
My friend assures me "it's all or nothing"
I am not worried- I am not overly concerned
My friend implores me " for one time only,
make an exception." I am not not worried
Wrap her up in a package of lies
Send her off to a coconut island
I am not worried - I am not overly concerned
with the status of my emotions
"oh", She says, "you're changing."
But we're always changing
It does not bother me to say this isn't love
Because if you don't want to talk about it then it isn't love
and I guess I'm going to have to live with that
but, I'm sure there's something in a shade of gray
or something in between
and I can always change my name if that's what you mean
My friend assures me "it's all or nothing`
But I am not really worried
I am not overly concerned
You try to tell yourself the things you try tell yourself to make
yourself forget
to make yourself forget
I am not worried
"If it's love" she said, "then we're gonna have to think about the
consequences"
cause she can't stop shaking and I can't stop touching her and.....
This time when kindness falls like rain
it washes her away and Anna begins to change her mind
"these seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering
for days" she says.
And I'm not ready for this sort of thing
But I'm not gonna break
And I'm not going to worry about it anymore
I'm not gonna bend. And I'm not gonna break and
I'm not gonna worry about it anymore
It seems like I should say "as long as this is love..."
But it's not all that easy so maybe I should just
snap her up in a butterfly net-
Pin her down on a photograph album
I am not worried
I've done this sort of thing before
But then I start to think about the consequences
Because I don't get no sleep in a quiet room and...
The time when kindness falls like rain
it washes me away and Anna begins change my mind
And every time she sneezes I believe it's love
and oh lord.... I'm not ready for this sort of thing
She's talking in her sleep-it's keeping me awake
And Anna begins to toss and turn
And every word is nonsense but I understand and
oh lord. I m not ready for this sort of thing
Her kindness bangs a gong
It's moving me along and Anna begins to fade away
It's chasing me away. She dissappears, and oh lord I'm not ready for this sort of thing
I'm bringing this thread back for another song
The Luckiest by Ben Folds
I don't get many things right the first time.
In fact, I am told that a lot.
But I know all the wrong turns and stumbles and falls brought me here.
And where was I before the day
that I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it every day.
And I know
that I am, I am,
I am the luckiest.
What if I'd been born fifty years before you
in a house on the street where you lived?
Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike,
would I know?
And in a wide sea of eyes,
I see one pair that I recognize.
And I know
that I am, I am,
I am the luckiest.
I love you more than I have
ever found a way to say to you.
Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties
and one day passed away in his sleep.
And his wife, she stayed for a couple of days
and passed away.
I'm sorry, I know that's a
strange way to tell you that I know we belong,
that I know that I am, I am
I am the luckiest.
Highly, highly reccomended.
ok, so the lyrics of the song are quite camp... the whole song is camp actually, but it works. I like it, although its quite cheesy. The lyrics aren't supposed to be uh... I don't know how to say it, lol
but anyways
Your Disco Needs You by Kylie Minogue
Your Disco, Your Disco, Your Disco Needs You! x2
Desperately seeking someone
Willing to travel
You're lost in conversation and
Useless at scrabble
Happiness will never last
Darkness comes to kick your ass
So let's dance through all of this
War is over for a bit
The whole world should be moving
Do your part
Cure a lonely heart
Your Disco, Your Disco, Your Disco Needs You! x2
We're sold on vanity
But that's so see through
Take your body to the floor
Your disco needs you
From Soho to Singapore
From the mainland to the shore
So let's dance through all of this
War is over for a bit
You're a slave to the rhythm
Do your part
Cure a lonely heart
Vous netes jamais seuls
Vous savez ce qu'il faut faire
Ne laissez pas tomber votre nation
La disco a besoin de vous
So let's dance through all of this
War is over for a bit
The whole world should be moving
Do your part
Cure a lonely heart
Your Disco, Your Disco, Your Disco Needs You! (repeat)

All right a "chick." Because it'd be ok if you were a guy.. rolls eyes^
I thought this thread was dead and someone surges it back to life..
Certainly not me.
I absolutely love her when she smiles
okay wow there are two aussies in there already - three if you could ben folds as an adoptive aussie - well then you would unclass natilee and kylie as they are adoptive british - but natilee is marrying danile johns who is an aussie liver so maybe she will be back hmmmm
And pedro the lion are great i was listening to them this morning actually
anyway my song......
Prisoner (living free) - glen phillips (of Toad the wet sprocket)
I could't find words online so i had to type them from the song so don't mind the spelling mistake
at the start of the converstation
didn't have too much to say
i was needing some inspiration
you just got in the way
took a shot at an easy target
you were too stunned to say anything
you were the unsuspecting martyr
you were not the most dangerous game
bring my courage back now
bring it back to me
i'm tired of being afraid of what i can't change i want to be living free
Well it could be i was mistaken
maybe I decieved myself
but its hard to understand somebody
who doesnt want to understand himself
theres an ocean of unlocked windows
and a world of unlocked homes
the only reason anybody can still feel safe
is that most people still knock at the door
bring my courage back now
bring it back to me
i'm tired of being afraid of what i can't change
i want to be living free
don't want to be a prisoner
don't want to be a prisinor
don't wast to be a prisinor
though we all return to dust
theres alot of us in a terible rush, to
By the end of the inquisition
i was brought back from the brink
Torquemada and a couple of friends got together
And went into town for drinks
Left me here in this empty dungeon
While they?re living it up downtown
As if they never even existed
Doesn?t make much difference now
i'm going to take my courage back now
bring it back to me
i'm tired of being afraid of what i can't change
i want to be living free
i don't want to be a prisnor
some take the road to damascus some take the road to hell
i'll take high one to the evergreens everything will turn out well

All right Australia!
Whoo..
I absolutely love her when she smiles
I could never pick the best song I've ever heard...but here's one that I love:
the first star I see may not be a star
we can't do a thing but wait, so let's wait for one more
the time such clumsy time
in deciding if it's time
i'm careful but not sure how it goes
you could lose yourself in your courage
when the time we have now ends
when the big hand goes 'round
can you still feel the butterflies?
can you still hear the last goodnight?
the mindless comfort grows
when i'm alone with my 'great' plans
this is what she says gets her through it
'If I don't let myself be happy now then when'
if not now when?
I close my eyes and believe
that wherever you are, an angel for me...
BEN
