Best lyrics.

<< < (2/12) > >>

IronOxide:
They Might be Giants, hands down.

They're just so damned awesome.

Amsterdarn:
I second Seņor Oldham, Aesop Rock and the Decemberists, and add:

Aimee Mann
Weakerthans
Mountain Goats
Lucksmiths
Okkervil River

And mostly because I just listened to "Shit Luck," Modest Mouse.  That song has the best lyrics EVER.

mooface:
The Decemberists
Bright Eyes
Jason Mraz (?!)

That's from the top of my head.  I may add more.

WonkoTehSane:
Honestly, how the hell has no one mentioned Neutral Milk Hotel?

The only girl I've ever loved
Was born with roses in her eyes
But then they buried her alive
One evening 1945
With just her sister at her side
And only weeks before the guns
All came and rained on everyone
Now she's a little boy in Spain
Playing pianos filled with flames
On empty rings around the sun
All seem to say my dream has come

But now we must pick up every piece
Of the life we used to love
Just to keep ourselves
At least enough to carry on

And now we ride the circus wheel
With your dark brother wrapped in white
Says it was good to be alive
But now he rides a comet's flame
And won't be coming back again
The Earth looks better from a star
That's right above from where you are
He didn't mean to make you cry
With sparks that ring and bullets fly
On empty rings around your heart
The world just screams and falls apart

But now we must pick up every piece
Of the life we used to love
Just to keep ourselves
At least enough to carry on

And here's where your mother sleeps
And here is the room where your brothers were born
Indentions in the sheets
Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore
And it's so sad to see the world agree
That they'd rather see their faces fill with flies
All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes

Freezey:
-obligatory "anal cunt" post.-

Okay, now that that's done...

I've been in love with any lyrics penned by Jason Shevchuk ( kid dynamite, none more black, and to a much lesser extend, bound...) for years. They might be more straightforward but songs like "Bookworm" and "Pause" still get me each time. They might not be the best out there, but they mean a lot to me personally.
