And the bartender's practicing politics,
As the businessmen slowly get stoned,
They're all sharing a drink we call lonliness,
But it's better than drinking alone

And the bartender's practicing politics,
As the businessmen slowly get stoned,
They're all sharing a drink we call lonliness,
But it's better than drinking alone
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said we are all just prisoners here, of our own device
And in the masters chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just cant kill the beast
And other wonderful lines from Kamelot's "Anthem" :
"And so another page is turned, I pray I understand what's happening, but if anything, I do know this, I'll be the best I can."
From Liar's Bar by the beautiful South
If I look rough I am rough
If I look sad I am
If I look broke I am broke
Just a broke down piece of man
I've turned over enough leaves
to fill an autumn
and if I had one final wish
I'd be your slave for a decade
if you could take me away from this
If you took me away from this
I'd be different you'd see
'Cause I didn't choose the drink
a drink just chose me
I simply love this song.Quote:

There she was just-a walking down the street
Singing; Do-ah-diddy diddy-dum diddy-dee.
The simple ones are the best.
Off the top of my head, some Bob Dylan, since I have been listening to him a lot lately:
"The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keepin on like a bird that flew,
Tangled up in blue."
and
"A lone soldier on the cross, smoke pouring out of a box car door."
From 'Tangled up in Blue' and 'Idiot Wind.'
These are only of the top of my head, however...
From Pearl Jam's Black:
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, can't it be mine
(they might not be such great lyrics in type, but when you hear them sung with such drama, they're much better)
And Grateful Dead's Ripple:
Reach out your hand if your cup be empty,
If your cup is full may it be again,
Let it be known there is a fountain,
That was not made by the hands of men
I'm pretty sure I've mentioned somewhere on here before how much I like these lyrics -
and then for funniness I'm going with Sublime's Santeria:
Believe me when I say that I've got something for his punk (arse) (the lyrics are best appreciated when heard)
"Saiba que os poetas, como os cegos, podem ver na escuridão"
(it translates as "Know that poets, like blindmen, can see in the dark", but it definitely carries not the poetry of the original tongue ...)
Edu Lobo, e Chico Buarque,
the song is "Choro bandido", I call it "Canção do aqueu apaixonado", the "Song of the Achaean inlove"~
You open your eyes, look around
You feel the earth it wanders -
Out, from under your feet - the ground
Is not firm but soft and weak - like skin
Under the touch, cannot stop to falter
~ Sarah McLachlan, Back door Man
(actually, the whole song is wonderful, difficult to choose a few lines)
Been up all night staring at you
wondering what's on your mind
i've been this way with so many before
but this feels like the first time
-Schuyler Fisk and Joshua Radin, Paperweight
"Born from silence, silence, full of it
Perfect concert my best friend
So much to live for, so much to die for
If only my heart had a home."
Nightwish- "Dead Boy's Poem"
'Saying goodbye knowing this is the end' Chris Isaak - Life will go on
Can you imagine this? As human beings NO MATTER what we always always have hope but saying goodbye to someone KNOWING this is the end...waaaahhhh...
Don't wear your heart on your sleeve
When your remarks are off the cuff.
Riot Act, Elvis Costello
