What lyrics do you find most poetic, most emotionally impacting, or just most fun? Post 'em here!
^It's impossible to describe in words how utterly soothing this song is to me.
If you haven't noticed, lyrics are a big part of the song for me.
He's been waiting around for the weekend
Figuring which club to sneak in
Fancy drinks and fifty-dollar cover charge
Lately it's been a big hassle
Heineken and New Castle
To make sure he's fitting in and living large
Disregard the lies that he will tell
and what he's probably like 'cause
It's not hard his charm is gonna
Get him through the night
If he wanna rock he rocks
If he wanna roll he rolls
He can roll with the punches
Long as he feels like he's in control
If he wanna stay he stays
If he wanna go he goes
He doesn't care how he gets there
Long as he gets somewhere he knows oh no
ah na na na na na na na na na na na
ah na na na na na na na na na na na
See her heavy make up and cut t-shirt
Every girl out wants to be her
But they look the same already why adjust
Reading the magazine secrets
Forget the topical regrets
'Cause If she comes home all alone the nights a bust
It's a must the swivel in her hips
And the look she gives
It's all her trust if only in the morning
She knew where she lived
'Cause If she wanna rock she rocks
If she wanna roll she rolls
She can roll with the punches
Long as she feels like she's in control
If she wanna stay she stays
If she wanna go she goes
She doesn't care how she gets there
Long as she gets somewhere she knows oh no
ah na na na na na na na na na na na
ah na na na na na na na na na na na
And in a wink they're on the brink
From drink to drink and at the bar
With cash to blow
From shot to shot it's getting hot
Advance the plot to see how far
It's gonna go
All depends so ditch the friends
And grab a cab
Another chance for cheap romance
Doesn't count cause the room is spinning
Nothing to lose tonight they both are winning
And they fall in love as they fall in bed
They sing
If they wanna rock they rock
If they wanna roll they roll
They can roll with the punches
Long as they feel like they're in control
If they wanna stay they stay
If they wanna go they go
They don't care how they get there
Long as they get somewhere they know oh no
ah na na na na na na na na na na na...

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met
Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
But they're just old light, they're just old light
Your hair was long when we first met
Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
Oh I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
And kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light
And he kissed me 'til the mornin' light
Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met
Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
But they're just old light, they're just old light
Your hair was long when we first met
Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
Oh I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
And kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light
And he kissed me 'til the mornin' light

Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one

And the bible didn't mention us, not even once
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first
I ride an old blue roan, I carry all I own
In the pouches of my saddle bags with my bedroll tied behind
There's a prairie in the sky, I'll find it by and by
Hues of brown and yellow to make a soul unwind
Let the music take me home to where my heart may roam
I'll fly across the meadows, and touch the tall grass as I go.
Let the gentle western wind stay with me 'til the end
Beside me 'til the day is done and the sun has settled low.
Leave the ponies to run free, far as the eye can see
I'd ride the range forever just to see them once again.
Let the wild, flying things soar above me on their wings
The stars fill up the night sky and the moon light up the plains.
I ride an old blue roan, I carry all I own
In the pouches of my saddle bags with my bedroll tied behind
In the pouches of my saddle bags with my bedroll tied behind
There's a prairie in the sky, I'll find it by and by
Hues of brown and yellow to make a soul unwind
Let the music take me home to where my heart may roam
I'll fly across the meadows, and touch the tall grass as I go.
Let the gentle western wind stay with me 'til the end
Beside me 'til the day is done and the sun has settled low.
Leave the ponies to run free, far as the eye can see
I'd ride the range forever just to see them once again.
Let the wild, flying things soar above me on their wings
The stars fill up the night sky and the moon light up the plains.
I ride an old blue roan, I carry all I own
In the pouches of my saddle bags with my bedroll tied behind
^It's impossible to describe in words how utterly soothing this song is to me.
She doesn't own a dress
Her hair is always a mess,
You catch her stealin' she won't confess
She's beautiful.
Smokes a pack a day,
Wait, that's me, but anyway
She doesn't care a thing
About that, hey,
She thinks I'm beautiful
Meet Virginia
She never compromises,
Loves babies and surprises,
wears high heels when
she exercises
Ain't that beautiful
Meet Virginia
Well she wants to be the queen
Then she thinks about her scene
Pulls her hair back as she screams
"I don't really wanna be the queen"
Daddy wrestles alligators
Mama works on carburetors
Her brother is a fine mediator
For the president
And here she is again on the phone
just like me hates to be alone
we just like to sit at home and rip on the President
Meet Virginia, Mmmm...
Well, she wants to live her life
Then she thinks about her life
Pulls her hair back, as she screams
"I don't really wanna live this life"
She only drinks coffee at midnight
When the moment is not right
Her timing is quite unusual
You see her confidence is tragic, her intuition magic
And the shape of her body, unusual
Meet Virginia I can't wait to
Meet Virginia, yeah yeah hey hey hey
Well she wants to be the queen and
then she thinks about her scene
Well she wants to live her life
then she thinks about her life
Pulls her hair back as she screams
I don't really wanna be the queen
I, I don't really wanna be the queen
I, I don't really wanna be the queen
I, I don't really wanna live this
Her hair is always a mess,
You catch her stealin' she won't confess
She's beautiful.

Two birds on a wire
One tries to fly away
And the other watches him close from that wire
He says he wants to as well
But he is a liar
I'll believe it all
There's nothing I won't understand
I'll believe it all
I won't let go of your hand
Two birds on a wire
One says c'mon and the other says "I'm tired"
The sky is overcast and I'm sorry
One more or one less
Nobody's worried
I'll believe it all
There's nothing I won't understand
I'll believe it all
I won't let go of your hand
Two birds of a feather
Say that they're always gonna stay together
But one's never going to let go of that wire
He says that he will
But he's just a liar
Two birds on a wire
One tries to fly away and the other
Watches him close from that wire
He says he wants to as well, but he is a liar
Two birds on a wire
Once tries to fly away and the other...
One tries to fly away
And the other watches him close from that wire
He says he wants to as well
But he is a liar
I'll believe it all
There's nothing I won't understand

Across the world she tapes explosives to her chest
steps into a shopping mall
a life devoid of all of mercy's tenderness
really isn't any life at all
Tender mercies,tender mercies, come before despair
shine down all your tender mercies
it's every mother's prayer
Down below the factory along the riverside
children swimming in a poison pool
playful afternoon of unintended suicide
gone before they ever knew
Tender mercies,tender mercies, come before despair
shine down all your tender mercies
it's every mother's prayer
Across the world she holds her loved ones to her chest
lays them down and listens at the door
everybody safe and warm among the truly blessed
how can we even dare to ask for more
Tender mercies,tender mercies, come before despair
shine down all your tender mercies
it's every mother's prayer
steps into a shopping mall
a life devoid of all of mercy's tenderness
really isn't any life at all
Tender mercies,tender mercies, come before despair
shine down all your tender mercies
it's every mother's prayer
Down below the factory along the riverside
children swimming in a poison pool
playful afternoon of unintended suicide
gone before they ever knew
Tender mercies,tender mercies, come before despair
shine down all your tender mercies

lays them down and listens at the door
everybody safe and warm among the truly blessed
how can we even dare to ask for more
Tender mercies,tender mercies, come before despair
shine down all your tender mercies
it's every mother's prayer
It's like forgetting the words to your favorite song
You can't believe it
You were always singing along
It was so easy and the words so sweet
You can't remember
You try to feel the beat
Eet, eet, eet, eet
Eet, eet, eet, eet
You spent half of your life trying to fall behind
You're using your headphones to drown out your mind
It was so easy, and the words so sweet
You can't remember
You try to move your feet
Eet, eet, eet, eet
Eet, eet, eet, eet
Someone's deciding whether or not to steal
He opens the window just to feel the chill
He hears that outside a small boy just starting to cry
'Cause it's his turn but his brother won't let him try
It's like forgetting the words to your favorite song
You can't believe it
You were always singing along
It was so easy and the words so sweet
You can't remember
You try to move your feet
It was so easy and the words so sweet
You can't remember, you try to feel the beat
You can't believe it
You were always singing along
It was so easy and the words so sweet
You can't remember
You try to feel the beat
Eet, eet, eet, eet
Eet, eet, eet, eet
You spent half of your life trying to fall behind
You're using your headphones to drown out your mind
It was so easy, and the words so sweet

Well the white god said to the little man
We're gonna fulfill scripture in the holy land
between the tigris and euphrates it's a lot like hell
go on and liberate my people and their o-i-l
get your big trucks rollin down hiway 9
put on the armor it's party time
gonna dance with the devil of our own design
get your big trucks rollin down hiway 9
so the little man gathered all his chickenhawks in
and the neo-cons and his daddy's kin
they had their own clear channel and a hell of a spin
and a white man hidden in a black man's skin
big trucks rollin down hiway 9
pulverize the puppet it's payback time
whose tax dollar is it yours and mine
keeps the big trucks rollin down hiway 9
well we got caught sleeping at the sentry post
now we're standing toe to toe with what we feared the most
that old father and his son and the unheavenly host
we gotta do what we can don't give up the ghost
get the big trucks rollin down hiway 9
with food and water and an internet line
run to the polls when it comes the time
'cause the big truck's rollin down hiway 9
We're gonna fulfill scripture in the holy land

(Shake it up)
I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind all this music
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart
And suppose I never ever met you
Suppose we never fell in love
Suppose I never ever let you kiss me so sweet and so soft
Suppose I never ever saw you
Suppose we never ever called
Suppose I kept on singing love songs just to break my own fall
Just to break my fall
Just to break my fall
Break my fall
Break my fall
All my friends say that of course its gonna get better
Gonna get better
Better better better better
Better better better
I never love nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting by heart truly
I got lost
In the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind
All this music
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart
I hear in my mind all of these voices
I hear in my mind all of these words
I hear in my mind all of this music
Breaks my
Heart
Breaks my heart
I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind all this music
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart
And suppose I never ever met you
Suppose we never fell in love
Suppose I never ever let you kiss me so sweet and so soft
Suppose I never ever saw you
Suppose we never ever called
Suppose I kept on singing love songs just to break my own fall
Just to break my fall
Just to break my fall
Break my fall
Break my fall
All my friends say that of course its gonna get better
Gonna get better
Better better better better

It breaks my heart
I hear in my mind all of these voices
I hear in my mind all of these words
I hear in my mind all of this music
Breaks my
Heart
Breaks my heart
Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's a time to change, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey
But tell me, did you sail across the sun?
Did you make it to the Milky Way
To see the lights are faded
And that heaven is overrated?
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star?
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me
While you were looking for yourself out there?
Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey
She checks out Mozart while she does Tae-Bo
Reminds me that there's room to grow, hey
Now that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as
Plain ol' Jane told a story about a man
Who was too afraid to fly so he never did land
But tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet?
Did you finally get the chance
To dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way?
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind?
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me
While you were looking for yourself out there?
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken,
Your best friend always sticking up for you
Even when I know you're wrong?
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze-dried romance,
Five-hour phone conversation,
The best soy latte that you ever had, and me?
But tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet?
Did you finally get the chance
To dance along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way?
But tell me, did you sail across the sun?
Did you make it to the Milky Way
To see the lights are faded
And that heaven is overrated?
And tell me, did you fall for a shooting star?
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me
While you were looking for yourself?
And did you finally get the chance
To dance along the light of day?
And did you fall for a shooting star?
Fall for a shooting star?
And now you're lonely looking for yourself out there...

If you haven't noticed, lyrics are a big part of the song for me.
