Re: Lyrically Perfect Songs
Speaking of Cornell, the acoustic version of his song "Wide Awake" is really amazing:
Here's the Acoustic version and here's the normal version. Can't decide which I like better. You can look a hurricane right, in the eye Twelve hundred people that are, left to die Follow the leaders with an eye For an eye you'd all blind Deaf of murdered, of this I'm sure In this unsettled time So come pull a sheet over my eyes So I can sleep tonight Despite, what I've seen today I find you guilty of a crime Of sleeping at a time When you should have been wide awake Down on the road the world is, floating by The poor and undefended, left behind While you're somewhere trading lives for oil As if the whole world was blind So come pull a sheet over my eyes So I can sleep tonight Despite, what I've seen today I find you guilty of a crime Of sleeping at a time When you should have been wide awake [repeat 1x] |

Re: Lyrically Perfect Songs
Standin' down on Main Street
Across from Mr, Blues In my faded leather jacket And my weathered Brogan shoes A chill north wind was blowin' But the spring was comin' on As I wondered to myself Just how long I had been gone So I strolled across old Main Street Walked down a flight of stairs Stepped into the hall And saw all my friends were there A neon sign was flashin' "Welcome come on in" It feels so good feelin' good again My favorite band was playin' An Otis Redding song When they sang the chorus Everybody sang along Dan and Margarita were swayin' side by side I heard they were divorcin' But I guess they let it slide And I wished I had some money with which to buy a round I wished I'd cashed my paycheck Before I came to town But I reached into my pocket Found three twenties and a ten It feels so good feelin' good again There was old man Perkins Sittin' on his stool Watchin' Butch and Jimmy John Talkin' loud and playin' pool The boys from Silver City Were standin' by the fire Singin' like they thought they were the Tabernacle choir And I wanted you to see them all I wished that you were there I looked across the room and saw you standin' on the stair And when I caught your eye I saw you break into a grin It feels so good feelin' good again |
