Oh good choices!! I have sooo many favourite lyrics (all John's fault) - I have a file in Word just for them and I'm up to nine pages :s

But some of my favourites are...

I've seen your flag on the marble arch
but love is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Jeff Buckley – Hallelujah

 

 

Snow in springtime, storm in the sea

Mist at my window, no leaf on my tree

Showers in the garden with no flowers to touch

When will you bring us your sunshine and such.

Nick Drake, Blue Season

 

 

It's funny I know

But I'm disappointed in you

I thought you could read my mind

But I came home early

And saw that a drawer'd been opened

Looks like you've been reading my diary instead"

Ben Folds - Trusted

 

He drowns in his dreams, an exquisite extreme I know,

He’s as damned as he seems,

More heaven than a heart could hold.

But when I don’t know, I don’t know what he’s after,

But he’s so beautiful; he’s such a beautiful disaster.

 

He’s magic and myth, as strong as what I believe,

A tragedy with more damage than a soul should see.

 

Kelly Clarkson, Beautiful Disaster.

 

Plus : GooGoo Dolls - Iris, Jack Johnson - Brushfire Fairytales and anything by Sarah Mclachlan or Nick Drake and lots more besides!!

I didn't expect you young 'uns to have such sublime taste in music (with the possible exception of David/Peter/slobba...Scarborough fair???). I thought you might like to learn the story of my nickname. it's by Nick Cave and the bad seeds... (and don't tell me off for swearing, it was nick, not me)


It was back in '32 when times were hard
He had a Colt .45 and a deck of cards
Stagger Lee
He wore rat-drawn shoes and an old stetson hat
Had a '28 Ford, had payments on that
Stagger Lee
His woman threw him out in the ice and snow
And told him, "Never ever come back no more"
Stagger Lee
So he walked through the rain and he walked through the mud
Till he came to a place called The Bucket Of Blood
Stagger Lee
He said "Mr Mother****er, you know who I am"
The barkeeper said, "No, and I don't give a good goddamn"
To Stagger Lee
He said, "Well bartender, it's plain to see
I'm that bad mother****er called Stagger Lee"
Mr. Stagger Lee
Barkeep said, "Yeah, I've heard your name down the way
And I kick mother****ing asses like you every day"
Mr Stagger Lee
Well those were the last words that the barkeep said
'Cause Stag put four holes in his mother****ing head
Just then in came a broad called Nellie Brown
Was known to make more money than any bitch in town
She struts across the bar, hitching up her skirt
Over to Stagger Lee, she starts to flirt
With Stagger Lee
She saw the barkeep, said, "O God, he can't be dead!"
Stag said, "Well, just count the holes in the mother****er's head"
She said, "You ain't look like you scored in quite a time.
Why not come to my pad? It won't cost you a dime"
Mr. Stagger Lee
"But there's something I have to say before you begin
You'll have to be gone before my man Billy Dilly comes in,
Mr. Stagger Lee"
"I'll stay here till Billy comes in, till time comes to pass
And furthermore I'll **** Billy in his mother****ing ass"
Said Stagger Lee
"I'm a bad mother****er, don't you know
And I'll crawl over fifty good pussies just to get one fat boy's ****"
Said Stagger Lee
Just then Billy Dilly rolls in and he says, "You must be
That bad mother****er called Stagger Lee"
Stagger Lee
"Yeah, I'm Stagger Lee and you better get down on your knees
And **** my ****, because If you don't you're gonna be dead"
Said Stagger Lee
Billy dropped down and slobbered on his head
And Stag filled him full of lead
Oh yeah.
