What r everyones best song lyrics ?? don`t mean all the song but heh thats cool, Just a couple of lines in a song.
One of my all time favourites is by Terrorvision...Here it is

If all the people in the world camped out in your back garden,
would you write and tell the king,
or would you grab a tent and join them ..

The song is Oblivion ..

Cheers Bex, you've solved something that's been bugging me for a while! I thought I had come across them before but couldn't think where (and "Anything Goes" would have been my very last guess!)

I was supposed to be working on a local production of Anything Goes next year, but it's been pulled, oh well!

Favorite Lyrics

Naked as I am, I'm a happy, sad bulk of a man
And I can show you everything, but I'm just doing the best that I can
And there are no escapes, come join me in my world
And the exits are all blocked off, my girl

You were very young when the law came to take you away
You had that stuff in your head, get you in troubles some day
There's no let up, or no respite, no answers in any way
God bless you

God kicks with both feet, God kicks with both feet
God kicks with both feet and keeps his shoes clean
God kicks with both feet, God kicks with both feet
God kicks with both feet and keeps his shoes clean

I know this won't be the first thing that you'd think of but they are pretty clever lyrics:

Psychic spies from China
Try to steal your mind's elation
Little girls from Sweden
Dream of silver screen quotations
And if you want these kind of dreams
It's Californication

It's the edge of the world
And all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the East
At least it settles in the final location
It's understood that Hollywood
sells Californication

Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin is this your chin
Or is that war your waging

[Chorus:]
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

Here's one for all us old hippies :)

By Neil Young from the album Ragged Glory:

"Days That Used To Be"

People say don't rock the boat,
let things go their own way
Ideas that once seem so right,
now have gotten hard to say
I wish I could talk to you,
you could talk to me
'Cause there's very few of us left
my friend
From the days that used to be.

Seem like such a simple thing
to follow one's own dream
But possessions and concession
are not often what they seem
They drag you down
and load you down
in disguise of security.
But we never had
to make those deals
In the days that used to be.

Talk to me, my long lost friend,
tell me how you are
Are you happy with
your circumstance,
are you driving a new car
Does it get you where you wanna go,
with a seven year warranty
Or just another
hundred thousand miles away
From days that used to be.
 
One the best songs by Supertramp has to be the Logical Song, I have been listening to it since it was released on the album "Breakfast in America" way back in the late 70,s. I'd like to share it with you lot. The recording of the album is so good that one starts to have a feeling it was recorded just yesterday. I have shared it with my son and he loved it.

"The Logical Song" by Supertramp

When i was young
It seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees
Well they´d be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me
But then they sent me away
To teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible ,practical
And they showed me a world
Where i could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical
​
There are times when all the world´s asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won´t you please, please tell me what we´ve learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who i am
​
Now watch what you say
Or they´ll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
Oh won´t you sign up your name
We´d like to feel you´re
Acceptable, respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable!

​
At night when all the world´s asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won´t you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who i am, who i am ,who i am.
