In honor of Lyrical One, what are some of your favorite LYRICS?

dont have any, i dont listen to music much

Looks like I’m gonna have to honor myself. Good thing I have no shame.   

"I Only Have Eyes For You"

My love must be a kind of blind love
I can't see anyone but you
And dear, I wonder if you find love
An optical illusion, too?

Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
'Cause I only have eyes for you, dear
The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
'Cause I only have eyes for you.

I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you

And in the end, the love you make
Is equal to the love you take 

- The Beatles, The End

Train. Jupiter

I like lyrics that paint a visual picture for the imagination. It's best to hear it than for me to type them to you. This is one of Neil's best lyrically.

Round Here
Counting Crows 

Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog where no one noticed the contrast of white on white. And in between the moon and you the angels get a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right. I walk in the air between the rain through myself and back again where? I don't know Maria says she's dying through the door I hear her crying why? I don't know 
Round here we always stand up straight Round here something radiates
Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand she said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land just like she's walking on a wire in a circus she parks her car outside of my house takes her clothes off says she's close to understanding Jesus she knows she's just a little misunderstood she has trouble acting normal when she's nervous
Round here we're carving out our names round here we all look the same round here we talk just like lions but we sacrifice like lambs round here she's slipping through my hands sleeping children better run like the wind out of the lightening dream mama's baby better get herself in our of the lightning she says it's only in my head but the girl in car in the parking lot says man you should try to take a shot can't you take a shot can't you see my walls are crumbling?  Then she looks up at the building and says she thinks about jumping she says she's tired of life she must be tired of something round here she's always on my mind round here hey man got lots of time round here we're never sent to bed early and nobody makes us wait round here we stay up very very very very late

Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
Don't you eat of the bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
...All that you have is your Soul

Emmy Lou Harris
"All that you have is your Soul"

 Swimming to the Other Side, Pat Humphries

Chorus:
We are living 'neath the great big dipper
We are washed by the very same rain
We are swimming in this stream together
Some in power and some in pain
We can worship this ground we walk on
Cherishing the beings that we live beside
Loving spirits will live forever
We're all swimming to the other side

I am alone and I am searching, hungering for answers in my time
I am balanced at the brink of wisdom
I'm impatient to receive a sign
I move forward with my senses open
Imperfection, it be my crime
In humility, I will listen
We're all swimming to the other side

On this journey through thoughts and feelings
Binding intuition, my head, my heart
I am gathering the tools together. I'm preparing to do my part
All of those who have come before me
Band together and be my guide
Loving lessons that I will follow, We're all swimming to the other side

When we get there we'll discover
All of the gifts we've been given to share
Have been with us since life's beginning
And we never noticed they were there
We can balance at the brink of wisdom
Never recognizing that we've arrived
Loving spirits will live together
We're all swimming to the other side

Dogsh!t by Olde Dirty bastard

Tall brown skin her weave like palm trees

Fathership touch ground, like fly on soup

White ones cut my toupee!

Tossed salad, oh you in some shit now
Callin me a dog, well leave a dog alone
Cause nothin can stop me from buryin my bones
in the backyard, of someone else's house

But pardon me bitch, as I shit on your grass
That means hoe, you been shit-ted on!
I'm not the first dog that's shitted on your lawn
