Share some lyrics!
Do you ever find yourself listening to a song, and want to go back and write down what you just heard? Doesn't have to be your "favorite" lyics or the "best" lyrics. But next time that happens to you, share 'em with us!
I'll start...
I'll start...
Written by Stevie Wonder
I like to see you boogie right across the floor.
I'd like to do it to you, till you holler for more.

One of my favorite lines...
by Townes Van Zandt
The swimming hole was full of rum/I tried to find out why/All I learned was this my friend/You got to swim before you fly.

When I touched you, did you feel it?
Did you ever feel anything at all?
Do you ever lie awake at night?
Do you ever think of me?
I've got my arms wrapped around myself
You've got your arms around someone else
....
It hurts so much when you've got nothing to say
It hurts so much to have to walk away
Obviously a lot of the emotion is in the delivery....
You Didn't Need, Rollins

I have pages of lyrics I have heard and just like to read over time to time because I think they are that good. Here is one from a song I had stuck in my head all day:
- Maynard (A Perfect Circle)
So pure
So rare
To witness such an earthly goddess
That i've lost my self control
Beyond compelled to throw this dollar down
Before your holiest of altars
I'd sell my soul my self esteem a dollar at a time
For one chance one kiss one taste of you my magdalena
So rare
To witness such an earthly goddess
That i've lost my self control
Beyond compelled to throw this dollar down
Before your holiest of altars
I'd sell my soul my self esteem a dollar at a time

Jarvis Cocker's snarky critique of the collegiate idle rich who think "poor is cool":
Pulp, "Common People", from Different Class
“Rent a flat above a shop, cut your hair and get a job. Smoke some **** and play some pool, pretend you never went to school. But still you’ll never get it right, ‘cos when you’re laying in bed at night, watching roaches climb the wall – if you call your Dad he can stop it all,
You’ll never live like common people, you’ll never do whatever common people do. You’ll never fail like common people, you’ll never watch your life slide out of view, and then dance and drink and screw, because there’s nothing else to do.
You will never understand how it feels to live your life with no meaning or control and with nowhere left to go. You are amazed that they exist and they burn so bright whilst you can only wonder why.”
You’ll never live like common people, you’ll never do whatever common people do. You’ll never fail like common people, you’ll never watch your life slide out of view, and then dance and drink and screw, because there’s nothing else to do.

A couple of my favorite tool passages. Soon to be a part of a massive tattoo also!
From 46&2 :
I choose to live and to
Grow, take and give and to
Move, learn and love and to
Cry, kill and die and to
Be paranoid and to
Lie, hate and fear and to
Do what it takes to move through.
From Lateralus :
I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
of our divinity and still be a human.

There is a lot of them, but I recently heard this one.
I once contemplated suicide, and would of tried, but when I held that 9, all I could see is my mothers eyes. - Thugs Mansion by TuPac.
I don't know I just felt that line and hit me.

Mary was a black girl, and I was afraid of a girl like that.

Reno was an aimless girl, a geographic memory.
Cathy was a Jesus-freak, she liked that kind of misery.

Camella couldn't sing, kept the beat and kept it strong.
Xylla was an archetype, the voodoo queen, the queen of rap.
Joan thought men were second best to masturbating in the bath.
Sherri was a feminist, she really had that gift of gab.
Kathleen's point of view was this: take whatever you can grab.
Seattle was another girl who left her mark upon the map.
Karen liked to tie me up, and left me hanging by a strap.
Jeannie had this nightclub walk that made grown men feel underage.
Mary Ellen, who had a son and said "I must go," but finally stayed.
Gloria, the last taboo was shattered by her tongue one night.
Mimi brought the taboo back and held it up before the light.
Marilyn, who knew no shame, was never, ever satisfied.
Julie came and went so fast, she didn't even say good-bye.
Well, Rhonda had a house in Venice, lived on brown rice and cocaine.
Patty had a house in Houston, shot cough syrup in her veins.

Uh-uh. Not Katherine.

Sarah was a modern dancer, lean pristine transparency.
Janet wrote bad poetry in a crazy kind of urgency.
Tanya Turkish liked to fwck while wearing leather biker boots.
Brenda's strange obsession was for certain vegetables and fruits.
Roeena was an artist's daughter, the deeper image shook her up.
Dee-dee's mother left her father, took his money and his truck.
Debbie-Rae had no such problems, perfect Norman Rockwell home.
Nina, sixteen, had a baby, left her parents, lived alone.
Bobbie joined a new-wave band, and changed her name to Bobbie-sox.
Eloise, who played guitar, sang songs about whales and cops.

Ronnie was much more my style, she wrote songs just like this.
Jezebel went forty days drinking nothing but Perrier.
Dinah drove her Chevrolet into the San Francisco bay.
Judy came from O-hi-o, she's a Scientologist.

Yeah, I only smoke weed when I need to
And I need to get some rest
Yo, where's the sex? I confess
I burned a hole in the mattress
Yes, yes, it was me, I plead guilty
And at the count of three
I pull back the duvet
Make my way to the refrigerator
One dry potato inside, no lie
Not even bread and jam
When the light above my head went bam!
I can't see, something's all over me, greasy
Insomnia, please release me and let me dream
About making mad love on the heath
Tearing off tights with my teeth
But there's no relief
I'm wide awake in my kitchen
It's black and I’m lonely
Oh, if I could only get some sleep
Creaky noises make my skin creep
I need to get some sleep
I can't get no sleep...
And I need to get some rest

Oh yeah I live in a hospital on the outskirts of town
And they fill me up with sedatives but I just wont stay down
So they keep my hands tied with a piece of rope cord
And the sign on the door says this is the terminal ward

She'd shake it up, it was hard to make out
Now it's plain to see
I couldn't cook to save myself
Found my life a recipe
I never looked at her this way before, but now she's all I see
Alison's starting to happen to me
It's so mesmerizing, can't describe it, all that inside, hey
No one's heard her last name
I ain't asked, so who am I to blame
An earthquake started boiling underneath my feet today
Alison's starting to happen to me
This world is topsy turvy, and it is mine to eat
She's a pebble in my mouth, and underneath my feet
She's the puzzle piece behind the couch that made the sky complete
Alison's getting her tit pierced
Alison's growing a mowhawk
Alison's starting to happen to me

Some of my current/recent favourites or whatever comes to mind right now....
"Give up the grudge, shut your ****ing mouth
why you gotta judge everybody but yourself?
Take a look around, there ain't nobody home
I may be a loser but at least I'm not alone"
- GOB: give up the grudge
"If you're bored than your boring"
-HARVEY DANGER: flagpole sitta
"Breathe out, so I can breathe you in, hold you within"
-FOO FIGHTERS: everlong
"I took what I hated and made it a part of me.
(Never goes away, never goes away)
And now you become a part of me (you'll always be right here)
You become a part of me (you'll always be my fear)
I can't seperate myself from what I've done
Giving up a part of me, I let myself become you"
-LINKIN PARK: figure09
"Today I was asked only one question. You know what that was? Would I like the supersize. Come to think of it, I'd like the whole ****ing world supersized.... I'll have a supersize of death with a coke... let's supersize this song, that's the goal isn't it, if we can supersize the record, we'll sell more records, it's a supersize record."
-MATTHEW GOOD: 21st century living
"Well I might be stupid for the rest of my life, but I'll never be stupid for you again."
-EVERCLEAR: new blue champion
"The time has come, to say fair's fair, to pay the rent, to pay our share. The time has come, a fact's a fact. It belongs to them, let's give it back. How can we dance when our Earth is turning, how do we sleep while our beds are burning?"
-MIDNIGHT OIL: beds are burning

One of my favorite snippets of lyrics, courtesy of Springsteen:
There's more imagery in that one line than in most movies.
"Barefoot girl sittiin' on the hood of a Dodge,
Drinkin' warm beer in the soft summer rain."
Drinkin' warm beer in the soft summer rain."

True Love Waits by Radiohead:
Verse 2 and 3 were switched on the live EP. 
It would have been better had they kept it like above.
And also the first line might be "I'll drown my beliefs to have your babies."
I'll drown my beliefs to have you be in peace.
I'll dress like your niece to wash your swollen feet.
Just don't leave.
Don't leave.
And true love waits in haunted attics.
And true love lives on lollipops and crisps.
Just don't leave.
Don't leave.
I'm not living, I'm just killing time.
Your tiny hands, your crazy kitten smile.
Just don't leave.
Don't leave.
I'll dress like your niece to wash your swollen feet.
Just don't leave.
Don't leave.
And true love waits in haunted attics.
And true love lives on lollipops and crisps.
Just don't leave.
Don't leave.
I'm not living, I'm just killing time.
Your tiny hands, your crazy kitten smile.
Just don't leave.
Don't leave.

K-os - "Heaven Only Knows"
melodical prodigal flows
hypnotical blows to brain pieces
telekenisis
when I reach this pinnacle cynical clinical
microphone autobots waiting on lotto spots
trying to rock
but yo they can't understand
there's only one plan
the time is at hand
in the year two zero one one
the people of the sun return to free the righteous children
now!, I know you want to be on top of the world
giving a diamond and pearl to your girl watching your jacuzi swirl
seems like material lust
we need to look up to the heavens for imperial trust
me!, it's kinda hard when you rhyme sometimes
everybody wants to scrutinize
redifine who you are
but every person is a star
so let your light shine far
and praise god
