What are the truest lyrics you ever read?
Sorry if this is a little unsuited for this forum, but I really wanted to hear some sensible replies.
My suggestion is from 'Nature Boy': "The greatest thing you'll ever learn Is just to love and be loved in return." |

You smoked me like a cigarette
I was burned, I was cast aside You knew what you couldn't get So you settled for my pride ------------------------------- And you run and you run To catch up with the sun But it's sinking Racing around To come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way But you're older Shorter of breath And one day closer to death |

As I noted in another thread the other day,

Bob Dylan, Tangled Up in Blue:
We always did feel the same, we just saw it from a different point of view. Favorite by far. I don't know what it is, happiness, contentedness, I don't know, but at our core we all want the same thing. How we get there is how we are different. |

Seger sometimes seems so minor, but at his best, he's one hell of a lyricist.

Some Thought From Me
A Song About Love (amongst other things) - David Bowie - Heroes And you You can be mean And I I'll drink all the time 'Cause we're lovers And that is a fact Yes we're lovers And that is that A Song About Addiction - Tom Waits - Heartattack and Vine boney's high on china white, shorty found a punk, don't you know there ain't no devil, there's just god when he's drunk, well this stuff will probably kill you, let's do another line, what you say you meet me down on heartattack and vine. see that little jersey girl in the see-through top, with the peddle pushers sucking on a soda pop, well i bet she's still a virgin but it's only twenty- five 'til nine, you can see a million of 'em on heartattack and vine. A Sonf About Heartbreak - Radiohead - Thinking About You Been thinking about you, and there's no rest, should I still love you, still see you in bed. But I'm playing with myself, what do you care, when I'm not there. All the things you've got, she'll never need, all the things you've got. I've bled and I bleed to please you. Been thinking about you. A Song About War (or at least its what I feel the track is about) - Pink Floyd - Vera Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn Remember how she said that We would meet again Some sunny day Vera! Vera! What has become of you Does anybody else in here Feel the way I do ? A Protest Song - Whats going on - Marvin Gaye Father, father We don't need to escalate You see, war is not the answer For only love can conquer hate You know we've got to find a way To bring some lovin' here today A song about love... or is it? - Lou Reed - Perfect Day Just a perfect day you made me forget myself I thought I was someone else, someone good I have no idea what this means - Kaizers Orchestra - Kontrol Pa Kontinent Den skal vær mann som kan gå med min hatt Den skal vær kald som tar øve mi makt Den skal ha nr 42 for å gå med mine sko |
