yeah thats right, which songs have fucking good lyrics? (if you think that lyrical content is not important then you need not molest us with your buffoonish twitterings).

my vote goes to neutral milk hotel: 'holland 1945' as some of you more musically educated people might have recognized, my sig is the opening few lines of the song. (fucking good song too, download it)

the only girl i've ever loved was born with roses in her eyes. but then they buried her alive one evening in 1945 with just her sister at her side and only weeks before the guns all came and rained on everyone. now she's a little boy in spain playing pianos filled wih flames on empty rings around the sun.
 
pretty much anything by the shins also gets my approval

sllep the clock around by B&S is probably the best song with lyrics out there.

And also Stairway to H.,of course,has fuckin good luck.

And I came as a rat is damn good too.

'In rode the Lord of the Nazgul. A great black shape against the fires beyond, he loomed up, grown to a vast menace of despair. In rode the Lord of the Nazgul, under the archway that no enemy ever yet had passed, and all fled before his face.

All save one. There, waiting silent and still in the space before the gate, sat Gandalf upon Shadowfax : Shadowfax, who alone among the free horses of the earth endured the terror, unmoving, steadfast as a graven image in Rath Dinen.'

Thanks rockergrrl, you beat me to that... I have to say that Yoshimi battles the pink robots must have the most patently ridiculous lyrics ever composed, but to the point of being funny. I mention this because my brother is listening to it as I type. It occurs to me, also, that Carry on My Wayward Son by Kansas, and Hotel California both have great lyrics.

just thinking of any song with great lyrics, not like all-time best, the first song that comes to my mind is 'we did it all for don' by against me

-Lauren

Lauren and Ella: together changing teenaged boys lives since 2001.

THE FIST OF FURY

Fistin' Mad Bitches!

Skiing's not a sport, it's a lifestyle.
 
Paint a Vulgar Picture by the Smiths has some great lyrics regarding rock stars, labels and aspiring to be something. 'At the record company meeting, on their hands a dead star and all the plans they breed and all the sickening greed. At the record company party on their hands a dead star, the sycophantic slags all say, I knew him first and I knew him well. Reissue, repackage, repackage reevalutate the songs, double packed with a photograph, extra track and a tacky badge.'

I also like Sympathy for the Devil a lot.

Well, since we're talking LYRICS, technically all the lyrics to boyz in the hood were written by NWA in the 80s.

Still dont give a fuck- emminem

actually most stuff by emminem is insane

Swollen members. Deep end

Again most of their stuff

Anything by Tupac and Notorius BIG!

 
thisangelikracer - against me! has some of the best liyrics out there, and i have more respect for them then any other band.

'minor threat' has very simple, to the point lyrics. they say what they have to say a very nice way.

'jawbreaker' have amazing lyrics, i'll leave it at that.

Just give me a scene where the music is free and the beer is not the life of the party.

-against me!

camp of champs session C
 
imagine- john lennon

a lot of Desaparacidos' songs have really good lyrics(same lead singer as Bright Eyes, Conor Oberst)

Hurt- NIN

American pie definatly has dope ass lyrics

Tears in Heaven-Clapton

The Seed by The Roots

Gritz by RZA

there are more, but those all have dope lyrics.

ALASKA PRIDE
 
Creating something out of nothing, Only to destroy it. by Norma Jean. Your eyes, your concrete eyes.

Cross crisscross my path...

Walking in circular patterns.

Shoe shine your ammo, polish your metal.

I need not your wicked weapons.

My war is not with someone like you.

A string of blood that is not my own strings between.

Increase time and it will fall into place.

A sword and my heart.

So much so that it makes its way through my throat giving me thought to speak.

This becomes my pistol.

This becomes my dagger of my time.

Don't sell out

It all comes to.

This becomes your future.

Unseen war.

Your weapons are useless.

Drop the gun.

Golden gun.

Like bringing a knive to a gun fight.

“This sort of behavior is left to the psychotic, dogmatic, fundamentalist believers you see on your TV everyday letting off bombs and killing people in the name of God. Beliefs are dangerous. Beliefs allow the mind to stop functioning. A non-functioning mind is clinically dead. Believe in nothing...'Maynard James Keenan
