    From the Headstones, 'Above Ground Swimming Pools'

    I don't mind lulls in the coversation,
    I don't dislike an uncomfortable pause
    An awkward moment is to be savoured
    Not unlike obscene telephone calls

    I don't mind a few giant cliches
    There's nothing wrong with a little braggin'
    I don't despise grandiose displays
    Outlandish disguises we can hide in

    I don't mind holes punched in the drywall
    I see no reason not to park on the front lawn
    And I approve of above-ground swimming pools
    And staying up until a half-hour past dawn.

    From the Mountain Goats' 'Up The Wolves'

    I'm going to get myself in fighting trim
    Scope out every angle of unfair advantage
    I'm gonna bribe the officials
    I'm gonna kill all the judges
    It's gonna take you people years to recover from all of the damage

    Evolution is an imperfect and often violent process. A battle between what exists, and what is yet to be born. In the midst of these birth pains, morality loses its meaning. The question of good and evil reduced to one simple choice: survive, or perish

    "You can't always get what you want." -Rolling Stones

    ....But if you try; sometimes you just might find - you get what you need


    I love that one too - but mainly due to the last part (the one I added) :wink:

    Well, I will provide for you and I'll stand by your side
    You'll need a good companion now for this part of the ride
    Yeah, leave behind your sorrows, let this day be the last
    Well, tomorrow there'll be sunshine and all this darkness past"

    'And this is my beautiful life
    The only thing certain is everything changes
    Lows and the highs
    And all those goodbyes
    As hard as it gets I know it's still amazing
    To be alive
    It's a beautiful life'

    well, maybe there's a god above but all i've ever learned from love was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you it's not a cry that you hear at night it's not somebody who's seen the light it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

    Tonight by Toby Mac :

    Hey!
    Everytime I try to go in alone I get shut down,
    Locked up and held captive in the clutches of my down
    We go back, we go forth,
    We go back
    I'm sick with vertigo
    Weary of my ways, my days
    My absent flow so
    I wanna feel a new day
    There's gotta be more than this
    I wanna live a new way
    There's gotta be more
    I wanna feel a new day
    There's gotta be more than this
    I wanna live a new way
    There's just gotta be more



    So let us seize this night
    Let us make our day
    It's on like the break of dawn
    cmon ready let us
    seize this night
    Let us make our day
    It's on like the break of da-a-a-a-wn


    :happy: Very motivational to me.

    This song by the Warped 45s has possibly the most well-written lyrics I've ever encountered

    The Grime of Earthly Glory

    The remnants of my healthy conscience will be rooted out and banished
    My mortal coil be addled and my better sense departed
    I will find the gilded palace and I will bask there unabated
    my every wish and whim will be mollified and sated
    I will savour and devour by the night and by the hour
    by the bottle and the platter like tomorrow doesn't matter

    Cover me in the grime of earthly glory
    and I will not be ashamed

    With success of my foundation
    The very cornerstone of creation
    The spoiling of the body and the squalor of the spirit
    By indulging every vice and vanity until I question my own sanity
    I'll revel in the empty victory, my every grandeur wasteful
    I will gorge until I am bloated on all the richest dishes
    Of the women of the fields and of the gutters and the ditches
    Guilt will be ignored, never want too much for remorse
    I'll be coddled, calmed and pampered
    Give me more and more and more...

    "Her eyes grew wide for a moment; she drew one last deep breath,
    Then her finger moved in the moonlight,
    Her musket shattered the moonlight,
    Shattered her breast in the moonlight and warned him—with her death.
    He turned; he spurred to the West; he did not know who stood
    Bowed, with her head o'er the musket, drenched with her own red blood!
    Not till the dawn he heard it, his face grew grey to hear
    How Bess, the landlord's daughter,
    The landlord's black-eyed daughter,
    Had watched for her love in the moonlight, and died in the darkness there." This is a poem by Alfred Noyes and it was sung also by Loreena Mckennitt

    I have several but this is up there:

    You can surrender
    Without a prayer
    But never really pray
    Pray without surrender

    You can fight
    Without ever winning
    But never ever win
    Without a fight

    If I had to pick one lyric from one song, it would be "I wake up strange" from What a Good Boy by Barenaked Ladies. But, really the whole song just speaks to me:

    When I was born, they looked at me and said
    what a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy.
    And when you were born, they looked at you and said,
    what a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl.

    We've got these chains that hang around our necks,
    people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath.
    Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same,
    when temptation calls, we just look away.

    [Chorus]
    This name is the hairshirt I wear,
    and this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair.
    This song is the cross that I bear,
    bear it with me, bear with me, bear with me,
    be with me tonight,
    I know that it isn't right, but be with me tonight.

    I go to school, I write exams,
    if I pass, if I fail, if I drop out,
    does anyone give a damn?
    And if they do, they'll soon forget 'cause it won't take much for me
    to show my life ain't over yet.
    I wake up scared, I wake up strange.
    I wake up wondering if anything in my life is ever going to change.
    I wake up scared, I wake up strange
    and everything around me stays the same.

    [Chorus]

    I couldn't tell you that I was wrong,
    chickened out, grabbed a pen and paper, sat down and I wrote this song.
    I couldn't tell you that you were right,
    so instead I looked in the mirror,
    watched TV, laid awake all night.

    We've got these chains, hang 'round our necks,
    people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath.
    Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same when temptation calls ...

    [Chorus]

    When I was born, they looked at me and said;
    What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy.
    And when you were born, they looked at you and said;
    what a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl, hey

    ETA --- another one is the chorus from "Ordinary Day" by Great Big Sea
    And I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary day
    and it's all your state of mind
    At the end of the day, you've just got to say,
    it's all right.

    cigarettes and chocolate milk
    these are just a couple of my cravings
    everything it seems i like's a little bit stronger
    a little bit thicker
    a little bit harmful for me

    She counts the time 'til herr heart breaks
    Just waiting for her next mistake
    Don't give up i know you've stopped believing
    And you're down and you're begging you're pleading
    Don't give up cause you're not too far gone
