Favourite song lyrics

[MrsSchrute]

I love lyrics, they are my favourite part of any song, way above the music.
So, what song lyrics do you love?

My favourite two are:

'I saw a rain dirty valley, you saw Brigadoon' Whole of the Moon, The Waterboys

'In the twist of separation, you excelled at being free' Back for Good, Take That.

Vincent (Starry, Starry Night) - Don McLean

"Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue

Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand"

Poetic and beautiful. Really conjures up Van Gogh's painting.

Joni, Joni, Joni. They're all Joni Mitchell...

“Just before our love got lost you said, I am as constant as a northern star. Constantly in the darkness? Where’s that at? If you want me I’ll be in the bar”

"I pulled into the Cactus Tree Motel to shower off the dust, and I slept on the strange pillows of my wanderlust.... I dreamed of 747s over geometric farms, dreams, Amelia, and false alarms"

“His eyes hold Edith. His left hand holds his right. What does that hand desire that he grips it so tight?”

"Hard bodies, Soft emotions
So fast, So smart
The world is at your feet
But what about your heart?"

Son, I'm 30
I only went with your mother 'cause she's dirty
And I don't have a decent bone in me
What you get is just what you see, yeah

Kinky Afro by Happy Mondays.

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dream
Daylight licked me into shape
I must've been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone, alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

The Cure ‘Just Like Heaven’.

You kissed her forehead
And it ran like a tap
No more than four stone soaked wet through
And I'd never seen you like that
Spun me out
Hurt me right through
'Cause it was love
In all its agony
Every bit of me
Hurting for you
'Cause one day that'll be your forehead I'm kissing
And I'll still look exactly like you
And I can talk to anyone
I can talk to anyone
I can't talk to you
I can talk to anyone
I can talk to anyone
I can't talk to you

Sam Fender, ‘Spit of You’.

I know you think you'd never be mine
Well, that's okay, baby, I don't mind
That shy smile's sweet, that's a fact
Go ahead, I don't mind the act

Here you come all dressed up for a date
Well, one more step and it'll be too late
Blue, blue ribbon in your hair
Like you're so sure I'll be standing here

Bruce Springsteen, ‘Sad Eyes’. Not his most profound, but it melts my knickers.

The road is long and seeming without end
The days go on, I remember you my friend
And though you're gone and my heart's been emptied it seems
I'll see you in my dreams
I got your guitar here by the bed
All your favorite records and all the books that you read
And though my soul feels like it's been split at the seams
I'll see you in my dreams
I'll see you in my dreams
When all our summers have come to an end
I'll see you in my dreams
We'll meet and live and laugh again
I'll see you in my dreams
Yeah, up around the river bend
For death is not the end
And I'll see you in my dreams
I'll see you in my dreams
When all our summers have come to an end
I'll see you in my dreams
We'll meet and live and laugh again
I'll see you in my dreams
Yeah, up around the river bend
For death is not the end
And I'll see you in my dreams
(See) you in my
See you in my dreams
Go

Another Bruce. This one makes me cry.
