Favorite Piece of Song Lyrics

i love pretty much anything from dylan, but the following is one of my favorites:

"let me ask you one question
is your money that good
will it buy you forgiveness
do you think that it could
i think you will find
when your death takes its toll
that all the money you made
will never buy back your soul"

tom waits' "the piano has been drinking, not me" is also among my favorites.

"Live through this and you won't look back
There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted, I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you, I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save"

-Your Ex-lover Is Dead - Stars

"I've got six things on my mind. You're no longer one of them." - Prefab Sprout

I don't even know where to begin...I'm just gonna put down the first thing that pops into my head.

Ok, Butterfly by Weezer. Every word is beautiful.

Yesterday I went outside
With my mama's mason jar,
Caught a lovely butterfly
When I woke up today
Looked in on my fairy pet
She had withered all away
No more sighing in her breast

I'm sorry for what I did
I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm
Everytime I pin down what I think I want it slips away
The ghost slips away

Smell you on my hands for days
I can't wash away your scent
If I'm a dog then you're a b!tch
I guess you're as real as me
Maybe I can live with that
Maybe I need fantasy
Life of chasing butterfly

I'm sorry for what I did
I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm
Everytime I pin down what I think I want it slips away
The goal slips away

I told you I would return
When the robin makes his nest
But I ain't never coming back
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

"Float like a cannonball, sting like a shark."
Basically all of the lyrics of CB4's "Straight Outta Lo Cash" are this good, but almost none are rated G.

I have to tell you, that the moment I read the thread title and before I had clicked on it, this was the phrase that immediately popped into my head.

The first that springs to mind that would pass the draconian word filter:

You know that I care what happens to you,
And I know that you care for me.
So I don't feel alone,
Or the weight of the stone,
Now that I've found somewhere safe
To bury my bone.
And any fool knows a dog needs a home,
A shelter from pigs on the wing.

"it's not a party if it happens every night." -the postal service.

"Dear John, I've been listening to some of Paul's records. I think he really is dead." - Larry Norman

"46 bottles of beer on the wall, 46 bottles of beer"

You may be right, I may be crazy, but it just might be a lunatic you're looking for
turn out the lights, don't try to save me, you may me wrong for all I know but you may be right.
Billl Joel

"They say there's a heaven for those who wait
Some say it's better but I say it ain't
I'd rather laugh with the sinners
than die with the saints."

"and a queer threw up at the site of that"- David Bowie

Just look out around us
People fightin' their wars
They think they'll be happy
When they've settled their scores
Let's lay down our weapons
That hold us apart
Be still for just a minute
Try to open our hearts

More love, I can hear our hearts cryin'
More love, I know that's all we need
More love, to flow in between us
To take us and hold us and lift us above
If there's ever an answer
It's more love

Quick to judge, quick to anger.
Slow to understand.
Ignorance and prejudice
and fear walk hand in hand.

Burn mot********, burn.

Heaven is whenever we can get together

You say faith is a crutch for a mind that's closed,
but you guzzle your crutch and shove it up your nose.

"I lose a pill, and I'm wrecklessly reckin' the house
That was supposed to be breakfast, where the heck is it now
There's the neckless I lost, clingin' to Stephanie's blouse
Man I should check to see if my mom left any out
Nope, guess I'll re-route
Maybe somewhere in the depths of the couch
Oh, jackpot, yeah, open sesame mouth
Down the hatch, and the feelin' you can't match it"
