How about a thread on lyrics, old or new. With some special meaning or inspirational value…

My current favourite is “Marker in the sand” by Pearl Jam, from their new Album.

There is a marker,... No one sees it cause the sand Has covered over,... All the messages it kept Misunderstanding,... What original truth was And out expanding,... In a faith, but not in love

What went wrong?

Walking tightrope high,… Over moral ground
Seeing visions of,… Falling up somehow
Do come down

With the living, Let,… What is living love
So unforgiving, yet,… Needing forgiveness first

God, what do you say?

Those undecided,… Needn’t have faith to be free
And those misguided, There was a plan for them to be
Now you got both sides Claiming killing in Gods name
But God is nowhere,… To be found, conveniently

What goes on?

Walking tightrope high,… Over moral ground
Seeing visions of,… Before you burn them down
Do come round

With a living, let,… What is living love
So unforgiving, yet… Needing forgiveness first

God, what do you say? What do you say?

There is a sickness,… A sickness coming over me
Like watching freedom,. Being sucked straight out to sea
And the solution?,… Well, from me far would let it be
But the delusion,… Is feeling dangerous to me

What goes wrong?

Walking tightrope high,… Over moral ground
Seeing visions of,… Falling up somehow
Do come down

With a living, let,… What is living love
So unforgiving, yet… Needing forgiveness first

God, what do you say? What do you say?

Calling out,… Calling out.
Calling out,… I’m calling you out.

Rodriguez - From the album Cold Fact

THIS IS NOT A SONG IT'S AN OUTBURST: OR THE ESTABLISHMENT BLUES

The mayor hides the crime rate
council woman hesitates
Public gets irate but forget the vote date
Weatherman complaining, predicted sun, it’s raining
Everyone’s protesting, boyfriend keeps suggesting
you’re not like all of the rest.

Garbage ain’t collected, women ain’t protected
Politicians using people, they’ve been abusing
The mafia’s getting bigger, like pollution in the river
And you tell me that this is where it’s at.

Woke up this moming with an ache in my head
Splashed on my clothes as I spilled out of bed
Opened the window to listen to the news
But all I heard was the Establishment’s Blues.

Gun sales are soaring, housewives find life boring
Divorce the only answer smoking causes cancer
This system’s gonna fall soon, to an angry young tune
And that’s a concrete cold fact.

The pope digs population, freedom from taxation
Teeny Bops are up tight, drinking at a stoplight
Miniskirt is flirting I can’t stop so I’m hurting
Spinster sells her hopeless chest.

Adultery plays the kitchen, bigot cops non-fiction
The little man gets shafted, sons and monies drafted
Living by a time piece, new war in the far east.
Can you pass the Rorschach test?

It’s a hassle is an educated guess.
Well, frankly I couldn’t care less.

Eish I love Rodriguez!! Amazing stuff! ;D

Hard to pin down one set of lyrics, mine vary according to my mood and the day…

So unimpressed but so in awe
Such a saint but such a whore
So self aware so full of shit
So indecisive so adamant
I’m contemplating thinking about thinking
It’s so frustrating just get another drink in
Watch me come undone

They’re selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
I pray that when I’m coming down you’ll be asleep
If I ever hurt you your revenge will be so sweet
Because I’m scum
And I’m your son
I come undone
I come undone

So rock and roll so corporate suit
So damn ugly, so damn cute
So well trained, so animal
So need your love, so fuck you all
I’m not scared of dying I just don’t want to
If I stopped lying I’d just disappoint you
I come undone

They’re selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
I pray that when I’m coming down you’ll be asleep
If I ever hurt you your revenge will be so sweet
Because I’m scum
And I’m your son
I’ve come undone

So write another ballad
Mix it on a Wednesday
Sell it on a Thursday
Buy a yacht by Saturday
It’s a love song
A love song
Do another interview
Sing a bunch of lies
Tell about celebrities that I despise
And sing love songs
We sing love songs
So sincere
So sincere

I LOVE ROBBIE!!!
