Best rock lyric ever?

[dwm74]

Do your demons, do they ever let you go?
When you've tried, do they hide deep inside
Is it someone that you know?

We pray to someone, but when it's said and done, it's really all the same, with just a different name

I don't know if Sting' solo career qualifies as rock, but if so: to me "Fields of gold" might as well be one of the greatest rock ballads ever, at least lyrically speaking.

 

[Quinn Roberts]

Talk talk talk, it's only talk
Comments, cliches, commentary, controversy
Chatter, chit-chat, chit-chat, chit-chat
Conversation, contradiction, criticism
It's only talk
Cheap talk

 

[Jimmy4string]

I always liked
"Start this song with out any words..." from Nirvana

Quinn Roberts read my mind, but I was thinking this...
I do remember one thing.
It took hours and hours but..
By the time I was done with it,
I was so involved, I didn't know what to think.
I carried it around with me for days and days..
Playing little games
Like not looking at it for a whole day
And then... looking at it.
To see if I still liked it.
I did.

 

[BassmentPlayer]

You hold the gun
And I hold the wound
And we stand looking in each other's eyes
Both think we know what's right
Both know we know what's wrong
We tell ourselves so many many many lies
We're not pawns in any game
Not tools of bigger men
There's only one who can really move us all

It all looks fine to the naked eye
But it don't really happen that way at all

Naked Eye - The Who

Best Thread ever. Reminds me of sooo many days gone by where for one reason or another I resonated with many of these lyrics. So many great songs, so many great bands.

Take me across the water cause I need some place to hide,

I done the ranchers daughter
And I sure did hurt his pride
Aye Hye

When you look at your reflection in the bottom of the well, what you see is only on the surface

if you try to find the meaning hidden underneath
The measure of the depth can be deceiving
the bottom has a rocky reputation

There's a cold wind in the winter of my mind

"Did you ever wake up to find
a day that broke up your mind
destroying your notion of circular time?"

- The Rolling Stones, "Sway"

 

[TimmyP]

Don't recall the artist, album or title ;-( (I do remember that is was not mixed well, but was pretty rockin') I have it in the stash someplace.

He will be my main man
'Cause no one draws a crowd like he can
I'll use his halo for my logo
On my business cards and TV show

Where will Foot Foot go
What will Foot Foot do
Oh, Foot Foot
I wish I could find you

Sweet Melinda

The peasants call her the goddess of gloom

She speaks good English

And she invites you up into her room

And you’re so kind

And careful not to go to her too soon

And she takes your voice

And leaves you howling at the moon
