    I can't believe you would lie in your grave,wondering, if you have lived your only living days well.....would you not like to be, sitting on top of the world with your legs hanging free, would you not like to be ok ok ok.....

    Love this song--especially live versions of it :)

    Can't believe I forgot this one... The album Satellite by P.O.D. has become my go-to running music :smile:

    I believe that this world believes in love (x 2)

    We might never really agree
    On anything about the lives we live
    Between you and me. So differently.

    We don't always see things the same
    We should agree to disagree
    If we meet at love we can work it out

    chorus:
    I believe you and I will overcome
    I believe you and I believe in love

    Whether you think I'm so confused
    Or if you feel the way I do
    So don't give in to this hate within

    Living in this world of pain
    Don't let it bring you down
    The world is a ghetto

    chorus:
    I believe that this world believes in love
    I believe you and I believe in love

    The first verse of Patty Griffin's "Nobody's Crying"
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGlNEbFuN9g

    Not because of the lyrics themselves but how they are constructed with the timing, to change their own meaning 180 degrees from what you think she is initially communicating. I think it is brilliant, but one can't appreciate it without actually listening to it. Also, the use of "throat" instead of "neck" creates an entirely different meaning. Then the 'ol double reverse in the last line. LOVE it!

    Well he jumps in the taxi, headed for the sky
    He's off to slay some demon dragon...fly
    And he looked at me, that long last time
    Turned away again and I waved goodbye
    In an envelope, inside his coat
    Is a chain I wore, around my throat
    Along with, a note I wrote
    Said "I love you, but I don't
    ...even know why"

    You date a girl and find out later
    She smells just like a percolator
    Her perfume was made right on the grill
    Why, they could percolate the ocean in Brazil

    And when their ham and eggs need savor
    Coffee ketchup gives 'em flavor
    Coffee pickles way outsell the dill
    Why, they put coffee in the coffee in Brazil

    No tea, no tomato juice
    You'll see no potato juice
    The planters down in Santos all say "No, no, no"<<<

    So you'll add to the local color
    Serving coffee with a cruller
    Dunkin' doesn't take a lot of skill
    They've got an awful lot of coffee
    An awful lot of coffee
    Man, they got a gang of coffee in Brazil!!

    Adele has some pretty awesome lines

    "Don't underestimate the things that I will do."

    "Rumor has it he's the one I'm leaving you for."

    "Sometime it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead."

    some cats be emceeing to illustrate what we be seeing
    hard to be a spiritual being when s**t is shaking what you believe in,
    for trees to grow in brooklyn, seeds need to be planted,
    i'm asking if yall feel me and the crowd left me stranded
    -talib kweli

    Not strong, only aggressive, cause the power ain't directed
    That's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive
    Not free, we only licensed
    Not live, we just excitin
    Cause the captors.. own the masters.. to what we writin
    Not compassionate, only polite, we well trained
    Our sincerity's rehearsed in stage, it's just a game

    Young woman with a drink in her hand
    She like to listen to rock and roll
    She moves with the music
    `Cause it never gets old
    It's the only thing
    That never gets old

    &

    You got a nice big car
    Nothing bothers you
    Somebody cut out your eyes
    You refuse to see
    Somebody cut out your heart
    You refuse to feel
    And you live in a sham
    You create your own hell
    You live in the past
    And talk about war
    And you dig your own grave yeah
    But it's a life you can save
    So stop getting fussed
    It's not gonna happen

    "I can see no matter how near you'll be
    You'll never belong to me, but I can dream, can't I?
    ....
    I'm aware my heart is a sad affair
    There's much disillusion there, but I can dream, can't I?"

    Not my favorite song, but I love the lyrics.

    I'm not religious, so this is a strange one for me, but I love it.

    Life is seen more clearly through our tears
    We all find some faith when we face our fears
    When my life goes like I want
    God becomes an afterthought
    and I start trying to build my heaven here.

    A better believer would look to the sky
    Shout hallelujah with tears in his eyes
    Open his heart and start giving it all away
    When I take a hard look at myself
    and count my blessings I can't but help
    but wonder if there's been some kind of mistake
    This life of mine should belong to a better believer.

    I sit back and think about them good old days
    The way we were raised and our southern ways
    We like cornbread and biscuits
    and if it's broke 'round here we fix it
    I can take ya'll where ya need to go
    Down to my hood, back in them woods
    We do it different 'round here, that's right
    But we sure do it good and we do it all night
    So if you really wanna know how it feels
    To get off the road in a truck with four wheels
    Jump on in man, tell your friends
    We can raise some hell where the blacktop ends.

    Corner cafe
    She scrapes some quarters off the table
    Says "Thanks. Yeah, maybe now I'll be able
    To get that black mercedes I've been savin' for."
    The other girls say
    "You outta undo a couple buttons
    start showin off a little something."
    She says "nah, you go ahead
    Think I'd rather stay poor.
    See I'm just makin rent"
    She says "this aint where my road ends.
    This may not be my town,
    But it will do for now,
    Till I can figure out
    Who I am
    and Where I'm goin."
    She's slingin eggs and bacon
    With a college education.
    Hanging out and waiting,
    for a better plan
    She's okay not knowing
    She's young.

    1) But on your bed Mary, I can see the shadow of a noose
    I don't understand how you can hold me so tight, and love me so damn loose.

    ===============

    2) I'm fine like wine when I start to rap,
    Like a bottle of chateauneuf du pape
