whomhead Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 The Black Crowes "Girl From the Pawnshop" from Three Snakes and One Charm With pawnshop eyes and a second hand frown she sat silent at the table Her boots were brown, should she leave town To play the role of lover ex-patriot A nod to the waiter,always her flirty behavior, You know she always gets one on the house She pulls out a letter from a bag Under her sweater and before she reads she straightens her blouse "There's a passion in being alone A grace in a loveless time There's no new cross, there's no new sign only the sun and the changing tide" "And out of respect, well I really must confess I never lost your number I never lost your address And if we remain friends at best Sometime later no, no not yet we'll smile and remember it like this" She put back the letter, one tear falls like a feather and disappears on the bar room floor The gratuity included, you know the letter concluded P.S. All my love Damn...I had to listen to that song thinkin of the lyrics. Gives me goosebumps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phishken Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 Tom Marshall's work with Phish. Top notch stuff. The guy thinks and writes on a different level. Check him out. ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblue Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 My favorite albums (lyrically). Pink Floyd: dark side of the moon Tool: Lateralus, Aenima Failure: Fantastic Planet Lateralus deserves special mention for some really amazing lyrics. Very emotional and intelligent, a lot of thinking and research went into this album. Tool are very well-read guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjohnsonhp Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 I think Laurie Anderson's lyrics are often a hoot. "The Night Flight From Houston" from UGLY ONE WITH THE JEWELS and several tracks on my fav CD of Laurie Andeson...STRANGE ANGELS. Dylan obviously writes great songs and is the best source of cover material. Following Dylan there is Springsteen...I like "Youngstown". Neighborhoods - "Love is like a pawn shop...you walk in and say that used to be mine once" Husker Du "Real World" from METAL CIRCUS - People talk about anarchy and putting up a fight; I don't care about things like that I lock my door at night. etc. I never had much of a clue what YES was talking about although they had a lot of lyrics.

fini Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 "Turn Around" by They Might Be Giants, off the album "Apollo 18." I can't think of another song with the word "obsequious" in it. fini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
