This would take some beating................
Is It Any Wonder (The Chameleons)
On the surface he seems sensible
But underneath the logic is crazy
Like a cat that walks with cruelty
Or a dog that always bites for no reason
I could feel the madness there
But I couldn't see the streets for the houses
And all the lies and fantasies
Were suddenly malicious and dangerous
With every passing day you put me through
What have I done to you?
Is it any wonder that I never close my eyes?
Sisters of normality
Collapse into convulsions of laughter
Knuckle walking animals
Are swaggering and spilling their anger
And they're almost walking upright
As they try to ape the madmen around them
But the slightest, kindest hint of love
Leaves them naked snorting like horses
If that's what's waiting for me on the ground,
I hope I never come down
Is it any wonder that I never close my eyes?
Here in this lullaby
We'll leave them all behind
Thoughtlessly wasting time
We'll be gone in the blink of an eye
Is this really where the story ends
For all those so called friends
Is it any wonder that they think I've lost my mind
If that's what they think then fine
We'll leave them all behind
Is it any wonder?

If Winter Ends- Bright Eyes
I dreamt of a fever, one that would cure me of this cold, winter set heart. With heat to melt these frozen tears and burned with reasons as to carry on. Into these twisted months I plunge without a light to follow but I swear that I would follow anything if it would just get me out of here.
And so you get six months to adapt and then you get two more to leave town. In the event that we do adapt we still might not want you around.
And I fell for the promise of a life with a purpose but I know that that is impossible now. And so I drink to stay warm and to kill selected memories because I just can’t think anymore about that or about her tonight.
I give myself three days to feel better or I swear I am driving off a fucking cliff because if I can’t make myself feel better then how can I expect anyone else to give a shit and I scream for the sunlight or a car to take me anywhere just get me past this dead and eternal snow because I swear that I am dying, slowly but its happening so if there is a perfect spring that’s waiting somewhere just take me there and lie to me and say it’s going to be alright
its going to be alright, yeah you worry too much kid, its going to be alright.

At this very moment in time, off the top of my noggin:
The Beatles 'In My Life'
Stevie Wonder 'Uptight' & 'I Was Made To Love Her'
David Bowie 'Changes'
Interpol 'The New'
The Verve 'Sonnet'
The Stone Roses 'I Wanna Be Adored'
Cat Stevens 'The Wind'
Roxy Music 'Mother Of Pearl'
I'm thinking of you
And the things you do to me
That makes me love you
Now I'm livin' in ecstacy...

There was another thread about this. Maybe it was deleted (a quick search didn't bring it up). Shame, because there were some nice lyrics posted there.
Yes, it is a pity. I liked that thread. I posted quite a scrollful of lyrics in it too.

Microphones - The Glow pt. 2
I took my shirt off in the yard
No one saw that the skin on my shoulders was golden
Now it's not, my shirts back on
I forgot my songs, the glow is gone
My gliding body stopped
I could not get through september without a battle
I face death, iIwent in with my arms swinging
But i heard my own breath, and I had to face that I'm still living
I'm still flesh, i hold onto awful feelings
I'm not dead, there's no end, my face is red
My blood flows harshly
My heart beats loudly
My chest still draws breath, i hold it, i'm buoyant
There's no end
I took my shirt off in the yard
No one saw that the skin on my shoulders was golden
Now it's not, my shirts back on
I forgot my songs, the glow is gone
My gliding body stopped
I could not get through september without a battle
I face death, iIwent in with my arms swinging
But i heard my own breath, and I had to face that I'm still living
I'm still flesh, i hold onto awful feelings
I'm not dead, there's no end, my face is red
My blood flows harshly
My heart beats loudly
My chest still draws breath, i hold it, i'm buoyant
There's no end

You went looking for me, dear,
Down by the sea
You found some Iittle silver fish
But you didn't find me
I was hiding, dear, hiding all away
I was hiding, dear, hiding all away
You went to the museum
You climbed a spiral stair
You searched for me all among
The knowledgeable air
I was hidden, babe, hiding all away
I was hidden, dear, hiding all away
You entered the cathedral
When you heard the solemn knell
I was not sitting with the gargoyles
I was not swinging from the bell
I was hiding, dear, I was hiding all away
I was hiding, dear, I was hiding all away
You asked an electrician
If he'd seen me round his place
He touched you with his fingers blue
Sent sparks zapping out your face
I was hidden, dear, hiding all away
I was not in there, dear, hiding all away
You went and asked your doctor
To get some advice
He shot you full of Pethidine
And then he billed you twice
But I was hiding, dear, hiding all away
But I was hiding, dear, hiding all away
You approached a high court judge
You thought he'd be on the level
He wrapped a rag around your face
And beat you with his gavel
I was hiding, habe, hiding all away
I was hidden, dem, hiding all away
You asked at the local constabulary
They said, he's up to his same old tricks
They leered at you with their baby blues
And rubbed jelly on their sticks
I had to get out of there, babe, hiding all away
I had to get out of there, dear, hiding all away
You searched through all my poets
From Sappho through to Auden
I saw the book fall from your hands
As you slowly died of boredom
I had been there, dear,
but I was not there anymore
I had been there, now I'm hiding all away
You walked into the hall of fame
And approached my imitators
Some were stuffing their faces with caviar
Some were eating cold potatoes
I was hiding, dear, hiding all away
I was hiding, dear, hiding all away
You asked a famous cook if he'd seen me
He opened his oven wide
He basted you with butter, babe
And made you crawl inside
I was not in there, dear, hiding all away
I was not in there, dear, hiding all away
You asked the butcher
Who lifted up his cleaver
Stuck his fist up your dress
Said he must've been mad to leave you
But I had to get away, dear, hiding all away
I had to get away, dear, I was hidden all away
Some of us we hide away
Some of us we don't
Some will live to love another day
And some of us won't
But we all know there is a law
And that law, it is love
And we all know there's a war coming
Coming from above
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
this is by nick cave and tha bad seeds...

Nick Cave is a lyrical genius, whether it's mastery of the love song or conjuring vivid, twisted imagery.
Excerpt from Love Letter
A wicked wind whips up the hill
A handful of hopeful words
I love her and I always will
The sky is ready to burst
Said something I did not mean to say
Said something I did not mean to say
Said something I did not mean to say
It all came out the wrong way
From People Ain't No Good
It ain't that in their hearts they're bad
They can comfort you, some even try
They nurse you when you're ill of health
They bury you when you go and die
It ain't that in their hearts they're bad
They'd stick by you if they could
But that's just bullshit, baby
People just ain't no good
From Deanna
No carpet on the floor
And the winding cloth holds many moths
Around your Ku Klux furniture
I cum of death-head in your frock
We discuss the murder plan
We discuss murder and the murder act
Murder takes the wheel of your Cadillac
And death climbs in the back
From Papa Won't Leave You, Henry
And I came upon a little house
A little house upon a hill
And I entered through, the curtain hissed
Into the house with its blood-red bowels
Where wet-lipped women with greasy fists
Crawled the ceilings and the walls
They filled me full of drink
And led me round the rooms
Naked and cold and grinning
Until everything went black
And I came down spinning
I awoke so drunk and full of rage
That I could hardly speak
A fag in a whale-bone corset
Draping his dick across my cheek
And it's into the shame
And it's into a guilt
And it's into the fucking fray
And the walls ran red around me
A warm arterial spray

hope of the states - me ves y sufres
"i used to think i had something to say,
but my dumb Ideologies gave me away,
i keep my mouth shut,
but its always the same,
over and over and over again.
my mistakes happen so much its success,
but i drag you up down into my sorry mess.
i said i was sorry but its always the same,
over and over and over again,
i have been doomed from the first time i tried,
to find something to save me from all of my lies
i am always fake,
i am always the same,
over
and over
and over again"
kick it.
