s/o Best Song Lyrics

And if they offered I would take it
A free ride out of this place
and I would sit right on the back without a helmet on

- Motorcycle by Wussy

" a new day will dawn, for those who stand strong, and the forests will echo with laughter" - led zeppelin

There are two paths you can go by, but in the long run there's still time to change the road your on. - Led Zeppelin, Stairway To Heaven

And so today, my world it smiles; your hand in mine, we walk the miles. Thanks to you, it will be done- for you to me are the only one.
-Led Zeppelin, Thank You

And so many more!!!

Nothing remains
We could run
when the rain slows
Look for the cars or signs of life
Where the heat goes
Look for the drifters
We should crawl under the bracken
Look for the shafts of light on the road
Where the heat goes

Everything has changed
For in truth, it's the beginning of nothing
And nothing has changed
Everything has changed
For in truth, it's the beginning of an end
And nothing has changed
And everything has changed

In your fear
Of what we have become
Take to the fire
Now we must burn
All that we are
Rise together
Through these clouds
As on wings

In your fear, seek only peace
In you fear, seek only love
In your fear, seek only peace
In you fear, seek only love
In your fear, in your fear
As on wings
This is the trip
And this is the business we take
This is our number
All my trials, Lord
Will be remembered
Everything has changed

Yes, this song! One of my favorites.

But it wasn't written after 9/11 - a lot of the press tried to connect this album (released in 2002) to 9/11, but Bowie always maintained that none of the songs were written post 9/11.

Stars "Lights Changing Colour"

It was empty til you came up through the honey
Nothing ever goes as planned
When you’re walking and the lights are changing color
Remember how you held my hand
Remember how you held my hand
How you held

There’s a fire in your chest
I see the flame
They better watch it if they pick a fight

Hold that fire when the day it comes
It always comes
You feel you’ll never get it right
You’re never gonna get it right
You’re gonna get it

Hold on
Let it turn around
Spin another way
Hold on
You hit the edge of the
edge of the
edge of the day

Some people want it when you’ve got in your pocket
And they leave you if there’s nothing left
When you find that the ones that keep you lifted
Love them cuz they keep you out of your head
they keep you out of your head
They keep you steady

Hold on
Let it turn around
Spin another way
Hold on
You hit the edge of the
Edge of
The edge of the

Hold on
Let it turn around
Spin another way
Hold on
You hit the edge of the
edge of the
edge of the day

When you’re walking and the lights are changing color
Remember how I held your hand
Remember how I held your hand

...and maybe just the section of lyrics that speak to you and not reams of chorus and verses...

Will there be another race
To come along and take over for us?
Maybe martians could do
Better than we've done
We'll make great pets!

Love this! So clever.

"Children are innocent
Teenagers F*^ked up in the head
Adults are even more F*^ked up
And elderly are like children..."

But yes, we will make great pets, right?

I know this is really recent, but Carrie Underwood, "Dirty Laundry":

Now I'ma have to hang you out to dry, dry, dry
Clothespin all your secrets to the line, line, line
Leave 'em blowing in the wind, just say goodbye to you
All those midnights sneaking in
I'm late again, oh, I'm so sorry
All the Ajax in the world ain't gonna clean your dirty laundry

With booze in my hair and blood on my lips
A picture of you holding a picture of me
In the pocket of my blue jeans
Still don't know what love means

Jolene - Ray LaMontagne

One of my favorites!

But time makes you bolder even chldren get older
I'm getting older too

One of my favorite bits of this song to play and sing on guitar. Sounds so pretty.

John Moreland - 3:59 AM


"And I apologize if I seem a little overwhelmed
I’m thirsty, but the holy keep on pissing in my well
I had a purpose and a song that was true
But I ain’t ever had a lick of sense when it comes to you "

"Sad, small, sweet, so delicate
We used to be this dying breed
I got a bad feeling about this
I got a bad feeling about this

You kept still until the long drive home
You slept safe and close to the window...
I got a bad feeling about this
I got a bad feeling about...

Who's to say you'll have to go (I could go all night)
Well say you'll have to go (I could go all...)
To hell with you and all your friends
To hell with you and all your friends, it's on "

A Champaign café
Everyone uses to celebrate
But I’m just not ready to rot and dance and laugh

Arctic Monkeys- R U Mine?

I guess what I'm trying to say is I need the deep end
Keep imagining meeting, wished away entire lifetimes
Unfair we're not somewhere misbehaving for days
Great escape lost track of time and space
She's a silver lining climbing on my desire
