I always found these funny, but you actually have to read the lyrics to catch it all, from Sting's Seven Days:

The fact he's over 6 feet ten might instill fear in other men.
But not in me, the mightly flea (flee?).
Ask if I am mouse or man. The mirror squeaked, away I ran.
He'll murder me, in time for his tea.
Does it bother me at all? My rival is a neanderthal.
It makes me think, perhaps I need a drink.
IQ is no problem here. We won't be playing Scrabble for her hand, I fear.
I need that beer.

MzHartz · Permanent Vacation

From Roger Waters' Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking:
4:41 AM

As I've always said, I prefer your lips red.
Not what the Lord made, but what he intended.
...
I awoke in a fever.
The bedclothes were all soaked in sweat.
She said, "You've been having a nightmare,
And it's not over yet."
Then she picked up the doggy in the window,
(The one with the waggly tail)
And she put him to bed, between two bits of bread.

MzHartz · Permanent Vacation

Okay, one more, from Megadeth's Cryptic Writings, A Secret Place:

Welcome to my hide away, my secret place.
How I arrived, I can't explain.
You're welcome to, if you want to stay,
But everyone just runs away.

U2 - Running To Stand Still 19 yrs of loving this to date:

Sweet the sin
Bitter taste in my mouth
I see seven towers
But I only see one way out

You got to cry without weeping
Talk without speaking
Scream without raising your voice

You know I took the poison
From the poison stream
Then I floated out of here
Singing...ha la la la de day
Ha la la la de day
Ha la la de day

She runs through the streets
With her eyes painted red
Under black belly of cloud in the rain
In through a doorway she brings me
White gold and pearls stolen from the sea
She is raging
She is raging
And the storm blows up in her eyes
She will...

Suffer the needle chill
She's running to stand...still

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Pink Floyd

"The Rose"

Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
and you its only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
who cannot seem to give,
and the soul afraid of dyin'
that never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been to long,
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong,
just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed that with the sun's love
in the spring becomes the rose.

Bette Midler

It ain't love but it ain't bad.

Mad Mema · Bad Biker Granny

I kept the right ones out
And let the wrong ones in
Had an angel of mercy
To see me through all my sins
There were times in my life
When I was goin' insane
Tryin' to walk through the pain

And when I lost my grip
And I hit the floor
Yeah, I tought I could leave
But couldn't get out the door
I was so sick n' tired
Of livin' a lie
I was wishing that I would die

(Chorus)
It's amazing
With the blink of an eye
You finally see the light
It's amazing
That when the moment arrives
You know you'll be alright
It's amazing
And I'm saying a prayer
To the desperate hearts tonight

That one last shot's a Permanent Vacation
And a how high can you fly with broken wings
Life's a journey - not a destination
And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings

You have to learn to crawl
Before you learn to walk
But I just couldn't listen
To all that righteous talk
I was out on the street
Just tryin' to survive
Scratchin' to stay alive

Amazing- Aerosmith

Lady Strange · 80's Rock Chick

ood choice with "Rainbow Connection." I recently saw Paul Williams in concert, and when he sang that song, I cried like a baby.

Another excellent choice is the line from "Pros & Cons." Always loved that one. Roger Waters is a friggin' genius.

Man, if I had time I could go nutty on this topic - I'm a huge lyrics freak. But I'll just do one -here is one of my favorites:

So many faces in and out of my life

Some will last, some will just be now and then

Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes

I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again.

I agree Lady Strange, Roger Waters is a genius! I've been listening to Amused to Death a lot recently.

We watched the tragedy unfold
We did as we were told
We bought and sold
It was the greatest show on earth
But then it was over
We oohed and aahed
We drove our racing cars
We ate our last few jars of caviar
And somewhere out there in the stars
A keen-eyed look-out
Spied a flickering light
Our last hurrah
And when they found our shadows
Groups 'round the TV sets
They ran down every lead
They repeated every test
They checked out all the data in their lists
And then the alien anthropologists
Admitted they were still perplexed
But on eliminating every other reason
For our sad demise
They logged the only explanation left
This species has amused itself to death

Same album, Perfect Sense

And the Germans killed the Jews
And the Jews killed the Arabs
And Arabs killed the hostages
And that is the news
And is it any wonder
That the monkey's confused
He said Mama Mama
The President's a fool
Why do I have to keep reading
These technical manuals
And the joint chiefs of staff
And the brokers on Wall Street said
Don't make us laugh
You're smart kid
Time is linear
Memory's a stranger
History's for fools
Man is a tool in the hands
Of the great God Almighty
And they gave him command
Of a nuclear submarine
And sent him back in search of
The Garden of Eden

Can't you see
It all makes perfect sense
Expressed in dollars and cents
Pounds shillings and pence

What God Wants:

What God wants God gets
God wants voodoo
God wants shrines
God wants law
God wants organised crime
God wants crusade
God wants jihad
God wants good
God wants bad
What God wants God gets

The Bravery of Being Out of Range:

And through the range finder over the hill
I saw the frontline boys popping their pills
Sick of the mess they find
On their desert stage
And the bravery of being out of range
Yeah the question is vexed
Old man what the hell you gonna kill next
Old timer who you gonna kill next
Hey bartender over here
Two more shots
And two more beers
Sir turn up the TV sound
The war has started on the ground
Just love those laser guided bombs
They're really great
For righting wrongs
You hit the target
And win the game
From bars 3,000 miles away

Too Much Rope:

You don't have to be a Jew
To disapprove of murder
Tears burn my eyes
Moslem or Christians Mullah or Pope
Preacher or poet who was it wrote
Give any one species too much rope
And they'll **** it up

thumperglh · Thumptastic: Chef of the Stars

I agree with Ruby.

The Rose was a phenominal song and I still cry when I hear it.

For me its the following

Girl dont go away mad

Girl Just go away

Dont go away mad- Motley Crue

The Morning After by Mayureen McGovern from the Posiedon Adventure.

There's got to be a morning after
If we can hold on through the night
We have a chance to find the sunshine
Let's keep on lookin' for the light

Oh, can't you see the morning after?
It's waiting right outside the storm
Why don't we cross the bridge together
And find a place that's safe and warm?

It's not too late, we should be giving
Only with love can we climb
It's not too late, not while we're living
Let's put our hands out in time

There's got to be a morning after
We're moving closer to the shore
I know we'll be there by tomorrow
And we'll escape the darkness
We won't be searchin' any more
