Okay, so you listening to a song and you hear just the most fantastic lyric? Wanna share it? Do it here.

I had this feeling like 3 times today;

will the clouds carry my tears to you
house jam - gang gang dance

i'm not dumb, just wanna hold your hand. so alright
paper tiger - spoon

our love is all of god's money
jesus etc. - wilco

I know this is a really personal thing but it's always nice to share no?

Tonight your ghost will ask my ghost:
Who put these bodies between us?
Calculation - Metric

You blew through me like bullet holes,
Left stains on my sheets and stains on my soul
Werewolf - CocoRosie

I don't deny
That he might, then, equally
Write a song about me
Mano a Mano - Serafina Steer

You need only say the word, and I'll kiss you like a humming bird.
Antony and the Johnsons - I'm in love

If there is a horizontal line
that runs from the map
off your body
straight through the land shooting up,
right through my heart.
Will this horizontal line when asked
know how to find
where you end
where I begin.
Tori Amos - Your cloud

"Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet ?
We sit here stranded, though we're all doin our best to deny it..."

I hope many of you can guess this one and its significance on the forum.

QoN - you reminded me of another lyric I forgot:

Leave me, this is your day

Through the music he sweetly displays
Silver speakers that sparkle all day
Made for his lover, who's floating,
and choking with her hands across her face.

You just reminded me of one of my very favourite lyrics;

And in my dreams
you're alive and you're crying
as your mouth moves in mine
soft and sweet
rings of flowers round your eyes
and I'll love you
for the rest of your life (when you're ready)

Two-Headed Boy pt 2 - Neutral Milk Hotel

all the notebooks in the world can never hold the lives I hold
but i've gotta make them real
it's like covering a bird in solid steel
all of these thoughts that I conceal
through silence

all the hearts in this red world can never hold the love I hold
but I'm throwing it away
it's like swimming in oceans made of clay
swimming in circles 'round the bay
so blindly, well feed
me out to the lions; my heart's a liar
feed me out to the lions

i make excuses past the book
i play the crowd but it’s down to me not luck
when the lights are on

the dreaming clouds they’re living in
they try to hide their master fear
but their tears they catch on fire
and as they drop they dance with my desire
don’t think a plane could get much higher, higher than i do
just on imagination, just on hope
just on the thought that you will someday have a face

i beg, i hope, i wish, i pray
but that’s not gonna send me on my way
when the lights come on


i love this song so much, it's beautiful
i more or less posted the whole thing because i found it so difficult cutting things!

homegrown's
all right with me.
homegrown
is the way it should be.
homegrown
is a good thing.
plant that bell
and let it ring.

the sun comes up
in the morning,
shines that light around.
one day, without no warning,
things start jumping up
from the ground.

homegrown - neil young

I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die ?
