best song lyrics ever

[Sporran]

Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
(Lennon/McCartney)


Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes


Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
and she's gone


Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh...


Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high


Newpaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone


Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh...


Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes


Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh...

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh...

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds (fade out)

"i brought you some haze that is silver; i bought you some lebanese gold; and we'll sit down and get righteously high, under that hangman's pole

pure Class

One of the most obvious lyrics I ever wrote. Glad you like it.

"Paranoid" Black Sabbath

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
people think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah

I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late

Classic rock at it best, bish, bash, bosh hard to beat

[clash67]

Ain't Nobody Here Can Own Them,
No One Can buy The rights,
Of a Summers day
A Star Light Sky
Or One Of Those Long Cold Caithness Nights

Yet The Money is In Motion
Deals Are Being Done
Documents are Drawn Up
The Bidding Has begun
First Item Up for Auction is our Rare and Golden Sun
HOWLIN' GAEL 2006

Just thought I'd stick this on for a laugh.Definately not my favourite lyrics though, that would probably be something written by BoB Dylan.

[Deemac]

Most of the time, in most of the day,
I ask you why, to what they say,
Most of the people, a life of dreams,
Complex designs to a simple scheme.

The stage is set, a stage all bare,
The spotlight beckons, to their cutting stare,
Ask the question, is this your need?
Hold your line to your growing seed.

The currents strong to a will that's down,
Pulling you downwards, like the tear eyed clown,
Why do you struggle and why do yoy fight,
Take the promise, take the light . . . .

Deemac - 1995

Led Zeppelin IV is one of my all time favourite albums, and I love the following two songs for both the music and lyrics:

The Battle Of Evermore
(Page/Plant)

Queen of Light took her bow, And then she turned to go,
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom, And walked the night alone.

Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
The dark Lord rides in force tonight, And time will tell us all.

Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, Rest not to lock your homes.

Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them all.

I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley below,
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow.

The apples of the valley hold, The seeds of happiness,
The ground is rich from tender care, Repay, do not forget, no, no.
Dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light.

The apples turn to brown and black, The tyrant's face is red.

Oh the war is common cry, Pick up you swords and fly.
The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know.

Oh, well, the night is long the beads of time pass slow,
Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.

The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath,
The drums will shake the castle wall, the ring wraiths ride in black, Ride on.

Sing as you raise your bow, shoot straighter than before.
No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold.

Oh dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back. Bring it back.

At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by,
With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes.


Stairway To Heaven
(Page/Plant)

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.


I enjoy Heart's cover version of The Battle of Evermore just as much as Led Zeppelin's original!

Here's yet another Beatles song that I like the lyrics of, as well as the music, of course. This one's from the 'Let It Be' album:

Across The Universe

(Lennon/McCartney)


Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
That call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
Through my open views inviting and inciting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
million suns, it calls me on and on
Across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Biffy Clyro!... Mon The biffy.. Best band in the world in my opiion apart from RHCP


(I just wish we all could betray)
I'm the one distinctly plain to you, for a solemn glance is another hopeful taste
Did you wish for your pain? Did you wish for your pain?
Wish I could have faltered, wish I could have changed
I'm the one distinctly plain to you, for a solemn glance is another hopeful taste

YOU TELL 'EM BUDDY! (Cheque is in the post lol!)

[TopCatsPurr]

I can see it now lord

out beyond all the breakin' of waves

and the tribulation

it's a place and the home of ascended souls

who swam out there in love!

run to the water

and find me there

burnt to the core but not broken

we'll cut through the madness

of these streets below the moon

with a nuclear fire of love in our hearts

rest easy baby, rest easy

and recognize it all as light and rainbows

smashed to smithereens and be happy

run to the water (and find me there)

run to the water
