Best song lyrics

[Seymour Tw@tt]

I tried doing a search on the Goat for a thread about "Best Song Lyrics" but it seems (amazingly) that it hasn't been done, despite threads on Worst song lyrics.

So - to kick off - what do you think are some of the best lyrics ever penned in the history of popular/rock music? We're not talking about bloody national anthems or anything that boring...

I just got into a band called The Veils who are a London-based NZ group. They've been around a couple of years with 2 albums out but they somehow passed me by. Anyhow, this is a song of theirs called "Vicious Traditions" which is out-f*cking-standing. If you read the lyrics you can see it's more than a dig at Dubya...

----------------

I'd pull my weight if it made any difference
He gave his life for the nine million others
But on his grave's written ”Here lies Joseph”
His country's gun and an innocent soldier

Well fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one

He grew a blood red vision for all their good intentions
He made an easy million from a foreign investment
He danced with the devils in beautiful buildings
Affirmative action for a useful reunion

He'd change his name if it made any difference
Now he's waiting in line for the lasting confession
But on his grave's written "Here lies our son Joseph"
His country's gun and an innocent soldier

Well fight your way out of this one (ah ah)
Fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one

Just a quick note - the song is played out at the end of the movie "Mr Brooks" with Kevin Costner and Demi Moore...

Some quality songs out there!

Heres one I put on the older thread,

Kiss me where it smells funny by Bloodhound Gang:

You came twice last year like a Sears catalog,
Cause your last boyfriend makes love like Boss Hogg,
Well now you're seeing me but soon I'll have you seeing God,
Cause girl I'll get you panting like you're Pavlov's dog,
Like a DC-10: guaranteed to go down,
But baby your black box is the one that I found,
I'll give you the gift that keeps on givin' it won't cost you any money,
Then she grabbed me by the ears and said kiss me where it smells funny.

So down I go like I'm 2000 Flushes,
I can tell I'm doing something right by the way that she blushes,
She's one that's speechless, I'm the one that's tongue tied,
She's thinking holy mackerel I'm thinking tuna on the side,
There must be something wrong with Al Pacino's nose,
Cause the scent of a woman is like rotten tomatoes,
Yeah I'm snorkeling for clams and it doesn't matter if I wanna be,
Don't come up for air until you kiss me where it smells funny.

Drop my face below her waist and stay on third base,
I can tell that the cherry's ripe by the way it tastes,
Yeah I could make a lot of wine with the yeast I find inside her panties,
And then drink it while eating out down at the Seafood Shanty,
Drop my face below her waist and stay on third base,
I can tell that the cherry's ripe by the way it tastes,
Yeah I could make a lot of wine with the yeast I find inside her panties,
And then drink it while eating out down at the Seafood Shanty.

Good Idea

Good Idea

Great idea seymore, but some retard, phlid,or biff will say thats been covered some fnuking mong who is reading the goat while taking a break from war gaming..

I woke up this morning,
Smiled at the rising sun,
Three little birds,
Sat on my doorstep,
Singing sweet songs
- - -Bob Marley "Three Little Birds"

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
Sinners are much more fun.
- - - Billy Joel, "Only the Good Die Young"

And as we wind on down the road
our shadows taller than our soul
there walks a lady we all know
who shines white light and wants to show
how everything still turns to gold
and if you listen very hard
the tune will come to you at last
when all are one and one is all
to be a rock and not to roll.
- - - Led Zeppelin, "Stairway to Heaven"

"The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds, cut out of the sun..."
