We Wish You Were Here-Pink Floyd. One of my favourite lyrics :)

So, so you think you can tell

Heaven from Hell,

Blue skys from pain.

Can you tell a green field

From a cold steel rail?

A smile from a veil?

Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade

Your heros for ghosts?

Hot ashes for trees?

Hot air for a cool breeze?

Cold comfort for change?

And did you exchange

A walk on part in the war

For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.

We're just two lost souls

Swimming in a fish bowl,

Year after year,

Running over the same old ground.

What have we found?

The same old fears.

Wish you were here.

Please lock me away

And don't allow the day

Here inside, where I hide with my loneliness

I don't care what they say, I won't stay

In a world without love

Birds sing out of tune

And rain clouds hide the moon

I'm OK, here I stay with my loneliness

I don't care what they say, I won't stay

In a world without love

So I wait, and in a while

I will see my true love smile

She may come, I know not when

When she does, I'll know

So baby until then

Lock me away

And don't allow the day

Here inside, where I hide with my loneliness

I don't care what they say, I won't stay

In a world without love

Written by Lennon and McCartney

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,

bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,

brown paper packages tied up with strings,

these are a few of my favorite things.

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels,

door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles.

Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings.

these are a few of my favorite things.

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes,

snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,

silver white winters that melt into springs,

these are a few of my favorite things.

When the dog bites, when the bee stings,

when I'm feeling sad,

I simply remember my favorite things,

and then I don't feel so bad.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,

bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,

brown paper packages tied up with strings,

these are a few of my favorite things.

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels,

door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles.

Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings.

these are a few of my favorite things.

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes,

snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,

silver white winters that melt into springs,

these are a few of my favorite things.

When the dog bites, when the bee stings,

when I'm feeling sad,

I simply remember my favorite things,

and then I don't feel so bad.

If I was allowed to listen to one PF song and one song only for the rest of my life, that's the one I'd pick. It's perfect. Speaking of Floyd lyrics, here are some from another great song:

Into the distance, a ribbon of black

Stretched to the point of no turning back

A flight of fancy on a windswept field

Standing alone my senses reel

A fatal attraction is holding me fast

How can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings

Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything

No navigator to find my way home

Unladen, empty and turned to stone

A soul in tension, that's learning to fly

Condition grounded but determined to try

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,

My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air

Across the clouds I see my shadow fly

Out of the corner of my watering eye

A dream unthreatened by the morning light

Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this

Suspended animation, a state of bliss

Can't keep my mind from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

"Well, we all need someone we can lean on

And if you want it, you can lean on me

Yeah, we all need someone we can lean on

And if you want it, you can lean on me

She said, "My breasts, they will always be open

Baby, you can rest your weary head right on me

And there will always be a space in my parking lot

When you need a little coke and sympathy"

Yeah, we all need someone we can dream on

And if you want it, baby, well you can dream on me

Yeah, we all need someone we can cream on

And if you want to, well you can cream on me

I was dreaming of a steel guitar engagement

When you drunk my health in scented jasmine tea

But you knifed me in my dirty filthy basement

With that jaded, faded, junky nurse

Oh what pleasant company

We all need someone we can feed on

And if you want it, well you can feed on me

Take my arm, take my leg, oh baby don't you take my head

Yeah, we all need someone we can bleed on

Yeah, and if you want it, baby, well you can bleed on me

Yeah, we all need someone we can bleed on

Yeah, yeah, and if you want it, baby, why don'cha bleed on me

All over

Yeah..

Ahh, get it on rider, get it on rider, get it on rider

You can bleed all over me, yeah!

Get it on rider, get it on rider, yeah!

You can cream all over, you can cum all over me, oh!

Get it on rider, get it on rider, get it on rider

You can cum all over me

Yeah!

Get it on rider, baby cum all over me

Yeah, yeah

Get it on rider...."

Begin the day with a friendly voice

A companion unobtrusive

Plays that song that's so elusive

And the magic music makes your morning mood

Off on your way, hit the open road

There is magic at your fingers

For the Spirit ever lingers

Undemanding contact in your happy solitude

Invisible airwaves crackle with life

Bright antennae bristle with the energy

Emotional feedback on timeless wavelength

Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free

All this machinery making modern music

Can still be open hearted

Not so coldly charted

It's really just a question of your honesty, yeah

Your honesty

One likes to believe in the freedom of music

But glittering prizes and endless compromises

Shatter the illusion of integrity

Invisible airwaves crackle with life

Bright antennae bristle with the energy

Emotional feedback on timeless wavelength

Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free

For the words of the prophets were written on the studio wall

Concert hall

And echoes with the sounds of salesmen

of salesmen

of salesmen

As sung by Rush

Songwriters: Lee, Geddy;Lifeson, Alex;Peart, Neil

I love this song so much! :wub: And speaking of Rush songs:

There are those who think that life has nothing left to chance take,

A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance.

A planet of playthings,

We dance on the strings

Of powers we cannot perceive

"The stars aren't aligned,

Or the gods are malign..."

Blame is better to give than receive.

Chorus

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill;

I will choose a path that's clear

I will choose freewill.

There are those who think that they were dealt a losing hand,

The cards were stacked against them; they weren't born in Lotusland.

All preordained

A prisoner in chains

A victim of venomous fate.

Kicked in the face,

You can't pray for a place

In heaven's unearthly estate.

Chorus

Each of us

A cell of awareness

Imperfect and incomplete.

Genetic blends

With uncertain ends

On a fortune hunt that's far too fleet.

Chorus

I got nasty habits, I take tea at three

Yes, and the meat I eat for dinner

Must be hung up for a week

My best friend, he shoots water rats

And feeds them to his geese

Don'cha think there's a place for you

In between the sheets?

Come on now, honey

We can build a home for three

Come on now, honey

Don't you wanna live with me?

And there's a score of harebrained children

They're all locked in the nursery

They got earphone heads they got dirty necks

They're so 20th century

Well they queue up for the bathroom

'Round about 7:35

Don'cha think we need a woman's touch to make it come alive?

You'd look good pram pushing

Down the high street

Come on now, honey

Don't you wanna live with me?

Whoa, the servants they're so helpful, dear

The cook she is a whore

Yes, the butler has a place for her

Behind the pantry door

The maid, she's French, she's got no sense

She's wild for Crazy Horse

And when she strips, the chauffeur flips

The footman's eyes get crossed

Don'cha think there's a place for us

Right across the street

Don'cha think there's a place for you,

In between the sheets?

I come quietly. Silent entities

Can lack a certain weight when unseen.

Do they speak of me?

My voice left with the breeze that whispered

"you should flee or you shall be seen."

I'd die if you only met my eyes. Before you pass by,

will you pause to break my heart?

I'd die if you only met my eyes. Before you pass by,

will you pause to break my heart?

I am everywhere, everywhere but here,

for here is where you grace the nameless.

Were I not so weak, could I even speak

I'd warn that you should leave before you're seen with me.

I am everywhere, everywhere but here

I am everywhere, everywhere but here

I'd die if you only met my eyes. Before you pass by,

will you pause to break my heart?

I'd die if you only met my eyes. Before you pass by,

will you pause?

I'd die if you only met my eyes. Before you pass by,

will you pause to break my heart?

Will you pause to break my heart? Will you pause?

I love this song.

There's gonna be one less lonely girl

One less lonely girl

There's gonna be one less lonely girl

How many I told you's

And start overs and shoulders

Have you cried on before

How many promises be honest girl

How many tears you let hit the floor

How many bags you packed

Just to take 'em back, tell me that

How many either or's

But no more,

If you let me inside of your world

There'd be one less lonely girl

(Chorus)

Oh no

I saw so many pretty faces

Before I saw you, you

Now all I see is you

Oh no

Don't need these other pretty faces

'Cause when your mine in the world

There's gonna be one less lonely girl

One less lonely girl

One less lonely girl

One less lonely girl

There's gonna be one less lonely girl

I'm gonna put you first

I'll show you what your worth

If you let me inside your world

There's gonna be one less lonely girl

Christmas wasn't merry, 14th of February

Not one of them spent with you

How many dinner dates, set dinner plates

And he didn't even touch his food

How many torn photographs are you taping back

Tell me that you couldn't see an open door

But no more,

If you let me inside of your world

(Chorus)

Oh no

I saw so many pretty faces

Before I saw you, you

Now all I see is you

Oh no

Don't need these other pretty faces

'Cause when your mine in the world

There's gonna be one less lonely girl

One less lonely girl

One less lonely girl

One less lonely girl

There's gonna be one less lonely girl

I'm gonna put you first

I'll show you what your worth

If you let me inside your world

There's gonna be one less lonely girl

I can fix up your broken heart

I can give you a brand new start

I can make you believe,

I just wanna set one girl free to fall

She's free to fall

With me

My hearts locked and nowhere to get the key

I'l take her and leave this world

With one less lonely girl

There's gonna be one less lonely girl

One less lonely girl

There's gonna be one less lonely girl

One less lonely girl

Yaaaah

As sung by Justin Bieber

Welcome to where time stands still, no one leaves and no one will.

Moon is full, never seems to change, just labeled mentally deranged.

I dream the same thing every night, I see our freedom in my sight.

No locked doors, no windows barred, no thing to make my brain seem scarred.

Sleep my friend and you will see, the dream is my reality.

They keep me locked up in this cage, can't they see it's why my brain says rage?

Geneis-Entangled from the album Tricks Of The Tail. I love this song, it's my fave song from my fave album :D

When you're asleep they may show you

Aerial views of the ground,

Freudian slumber empty of sound.

Over the rooftops and houses,

Lost as it tries to be seen,

Fields of incentive covered with green.

Mesmerised children are playing,

Meant to be seen but not heard,

"Stop me from dreaming!"

"Don't be absurd!"

"Well if we can help you we will,

You're looking tired and ill.

As I count backwards

Your eyes become heavier still.

Sleep, won't you allow yourself fall?

Nothing can hurt you at all.

With your consent

I can experiment further still."

Madrigal music is playing,

Voices can faintly be heard,

"Please leave this patient undisturbed."

Sentenced to drift far away now,

Nothing is quite what it seems,

Sometimes entangled in your own dreams.

"Well, if we can help you we will,

Soon as you're tired and ill.

With your consent

We can experiment further still.

Well, thanks to our kindness and skill

You'll have no trouble until

You catch your breath

And the nurse will present you the bill!"

Am I Evil? by Diamond Head. In my opinion, one of the greatest rock songs EVER.

My mother was a witch, she was burned alive,

Thankless little bitch, for the tears I cried.

Take her down now, don't want to see her face,

All blistered and burnt, can't hide my disgrace.

Twenty seven, everyone was nice,

Gotta see 'em, make 'em pay the price.

See their bodies out on the ice,

Take my time.

Am I evil? Yes I am.

Am I evil? I am man,

Yes I am.

As I watched my mother die, I lost my head

Revenge now I sought, to break with my bread

Takin' no chances, you come with me

I'll split you to the bone, help set you free

Twenty seven, everyone was nice

Gotta see 'em, make 'em pay the price

See their bodies out on the ice

Take my time

Am I evil? Yes I am.

Am I evil? I am man,

Yes I am.

On with the action now, I'll strip your pride

I'll spread your blood around, I'll see you ride

Your face is scarred with steel, wounds deep and neat

Like a double dozen before ya, smells so sweet

Am I evil? Yes I am.

Am I evil? I am man,

Yes I am.

My soul is longing for, await my heir

Sent to avenge my mother, sleep myself

My face is long forgot, my face not my own

Sweet and timely whore, take me home

Am I evil? Yes I am.

Am I evil? I am man,

Yes I am.

Daylight, alright

I don't know, I don't know if it's real

Been a long night and something ain't right

You won't show, you won't show how you feel

No time ever seems right

To talk about the reasons why you and I fight

It's high time to draw the line

Put an end to this game before it's too late

Head games, it's you and me baby

Head games, and I can't take it anymore

Head games, I don't wanna play the...

Head games

I daydream for hours it seems

I keep thinkin' of you, yeah, thinkin' of you

These daydreams, what do they mean?

They keep haunting me, are they warning me?

Daylight turns into night

We try and find the answer but it's nowhere in sight

It's always the same and you know who's to blame

You know what I'm sayin', still we keep on playin'

Head games, that's all I get from you

Head games, and I can't take it anymore

Head games, don't wanna play the...

Head games

So near, so far away

We pass each other by 'cause we don't know what to say

It's so clear, I'm sorry to say

But if you wanna win you gotta learn how to play

Head games, always you and me, baby

Head games, 'till I can't take it anymore

Head games, instead of makin' love

Head games, ooh

Head games, always you and me, baby

Head games, 'till I can't take it anymore, no more

Head games, instead of makin' love, we play

Head games

Head games, in the first degree

Head games, yeah, always you and me

Head games, why do you do it baby?

Head games

I see a red door and I want it painted black

No colors anymore I want them to turn black

I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes

I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black

With flowers and my love, both never to come back

I see people turn their heads and quickly look away

Like a newborn baby it just happens ev'ryday

I look inside myself and see my heart is black

I see my red door and it has been painted black

Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts

It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue

I could not foresee this thing happening to you

If I look hard enough into the setting sun

My love will laugh with me before the morning comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black

No colors anymore I want them to turn black

I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes

I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Hmm, hmm, hmm...

I wanna see it painted black, painted black

Black as night, black as coal

I wanna see the sun, blotted out from the sky

I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black

Yeah

DAMNIT SANDY! STOP DOING THIS!

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head

And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed

Nothin' seems to fit

Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun

And I said I didn't like the way he got things done

Sleepin' on the job

Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

But there's one thing I know

The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me

It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head

But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red

Cryin's not for me

'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'

Because I'm free

Nothin's worryin' me

[trumpet]

It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head

But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red

Cryin's not for me

'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'

Because I'm free

Nothin's worryin' me

Love is my religion, Love is my religion, Love is my religion

I'll take you to the temple tonight

All my days I've been searching, to find out what this life is worth

through the books and bibles of time I've made up my mind

I don't condemn, I don't convert, this is a calling have you heard

bring all the lovers to the fold, cause no one is gonna lose their soul

Love is my religion, Love is my religion, Love is my religion

hey you can take it or leave it, and you don't have to believe it

I don't want to fight, hey let's go fly a kite

there's nothing that we can't cure, and I'll keep you in my arms for sure

so don't let nobody stop us, free spirits have to soar

with you I share the gift, the gift that we now know oh oh oh

( Chorus )

Well I'm done searching now, I found out what this life is worth

not in the books that I find, but by searching my mind

I don't condemn, I don't convert

this is the calling have you heard, bring all the lovers to the fold

no one is gonna lose their soul

( Chorus )

Let us have peace, let us have life,

Let us escape the cruel night.

Let us have time, let the sun shine,

Let us beware the deadly sign.

The day is coming, armageddon's near,

Inferno's coming, can we survive the blitzkrieg?

The blitzkrieg, the blitzkrieg.

Save us from fate, save us from hate,

Save ourselves before it's too late.

Come to our need, hear our plea,

Save ourselves before the earth bleeds.

The day is dawning, the time is near,

Aliens calling, can we survive the blitzkrieg

The blitzkrieg, the blitzkrieg
