what lyrics are quite "on the ball" for you at the moment?

for me:

"we think the same things at the same time /
we just can't do anything about it"

I prefer irony and distance.
Sincerity is boring.

The Harrowdown Hill lyrics are contrived garbage.

I set the Sky+ to record the video when they premiered it
last week on Channel 4. I like the video and watched it
with the subtitles, that's how I know the lyrics. I've
listened to the album a few times. It's not bad but not
brilliant.

Nah, the words of others have little effect on me. I would
have to go back some to quote something off the top of my
head and that would be

"money and blood don't mix like two dicks and no bitch"

ecnadniarb

oh i didn't know there was a video for it, i'll have to have
a look out for it

those lyrics are quite cool, and quite perceptive
:)

i'm no good with making my own words, my first song isn't
that great at all. so i look to others for wordage
expression

Notorious BIG. He was fucking brilliant with some of his
lyrics, he also had a real gift for creating imagery with
his words. An example from one of his best known tracks

"There's gonna be a lot of slow singing and flower bringing
if my burglar alarm starts ringing."

What better way to tell motherfuckers you'll kill them for
breaking into your house.

Actually pretty much all of my quotables would come from
rap.

it's alright 'cos the historical pattern has shown
how the economical cycle tends to revolve
in a round of decades three stages stand out in a loop
a slump and war then peel back to square one and back for
more

bigger slump and bigger wars and a smaller recovery
huger slump and greater wars and a shallower recovery

you see the recovery always comes 'round again
there's nothing to worry for things will look after
themselves
it's alright recovery always comes 'round again
there's nothing to worry if things can only get better

there's only millions that lose their jobs and homes and
sometimes accents
there's only millions that die in their bloody wars, it's
alright

it's only their lives and the lives of their next of kin
that they are losing
it's only their lives and the lives of their next of kin
that they are losing

it's alright 'cos the historical pattern has shown
how the economical cycle tends to revolve
in a round of decades three stages stand out in a loop
a slump and war then peel back to square one and back for
more

bigger slump and bigger wars and a smaller recovery
huger slump and greater wars and a shallower recovery

don't worry be happy things will get better naturally
don't worry shut up sit down go with it and be happy

dum, dum, dum, de dum dum, de duh de duh de dum dum dum...
ah ah
dum, dum, dum, de dum dum, de duh de duh de dum dum dum...
ah ah

lyrics are good, i tend to sing along, the song in itself is
just as great!

Early each day to the steps of Saint Paul's
The little old bird woman comes.
In her own special way to the people she calls,
"Come, buy my bags full of crumbs.

Come feed the little birds, show them you care
And you'll be glad if you do.
Their young ones are hungry,
Their nests are so bare;
All it takes is tuppence from you."

Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag.
"Feed the birds," that's what she cries,
While overhead, her birds fill the skies.

All around the cathedral the saints and apostles
Look down as she sells her wares.
Although you can't see it, you know they are smiling
Each time someone shows that he cares.

Though her words are simple and few,
Listen, listen, she's calling to you:
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag."
