I don't have any favourite set of lyrics, but Nirvana's Pennyroyal Tea lyrics are interesting. I'm also into Bob Dylan, Elliot Smith, Woody Guthrie and Leonard Cohen for their lyrical merit. Oh, and I'm new, everyone Here are the aforementioned lyrics (the song expresses Kurt Cobain's pain, and the lyrics refer repeatedly to the situation around his chronic stomach pain, which he said were the original reason why he turned to heroin):
I'm on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture
Sit and drink Pennyroyal tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal tea
I'm anemic royalty
Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally
I'm so tired I can't sleep
I'm anemic royalty
I'm a liar and a theif
I'm anemic royalty
I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry-flavored antacids
Sit and drink Pennyroyal tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
I'm anemic royalty
I'm anemic royalty
You have so many relationships in this life
Only one or two will last
You're going through all this pain and strife
Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast
And they're gone so fast
So hold on to the ones who really care
In the end they'll be the only ones there
When you get old and start losing your hair
Can you tell me who will still care
Can you tell me who will still care
mmmbop baduba dop ba du bop
baduba dop ba du bop
baduba dop ba du (yeah, yeah)
mmmbop baduba dop ba du bop
baduba dop ba du bop
baduba dop ba du (yeah, yeah)
Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose
You can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows
It's a secret no one knows
It's a secret no one knows
(Repeat Chorus)
In an mmmbop they're gone. In an mmmbop they're not there.
In an mmmbop they're gone. In an mmmbop they're not there.
Until you lose your hair. But you don't care.
(Repeat Chorus)
Can you tell me? You say you can but you don't know.
Can you tell me which flower's going to grow?
Can you tell me if it's going to be a daisy or a rose?
Can you tell me which flower's going to grow?
Can you tell me? You say you can but you don't know.

Pedicure (manicure) kitty-cat claws
The way she climbs up and down them poles
Looking like one of them putty-cat dolls
Trying to hold my woodie back thru my (drawers)
Steps upstage (didn't) think I saw
Creeps up behind me, shes like 'yoo'

No time to waste back to my place
Starts from the club to the crib

Plus I got pal (every gal is) game
In fact he is the one singing
the song that's playing
'Akon!'

Wanna jump up in my Lamborghini Gallardo
Maybe go to my place
and just kick it like tae bo
and posibbly bend you over

[Chorus]

sorry i do not know how to do a quote thing but this are my favorite lyrics to a song by slipknot wait and bleed
I felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wander out where you can't see
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed.
I felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wander around where you can't see
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed.
Goodbye!
I wipe it off the tile, the light is brighter this time
Everything is turning bad for me
My ears are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up
This isn't the way I pictured me
I can't control my shakes, how the hell did I get here?
Something about this, so very wrong
I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this
Is it a dream or a memory?
I felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wander around where you can't see
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed
Get outta my head cause I don't need this
Why didn't I see this?
But I'm a victim Manchurian candidate
I have sinned by just
Makin' my mind up and takin' your breath away!
I felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wander around where you can't see
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed
I felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear that stone of leaves
I wander out where you can't see
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed.
Goodbye!
You haven't learned a thing
I haven't changed a thing
The flesh was in my bones
The pain was always free
You haven't learned a thing
I haven't changed a thing
The flesh was in my bones
The pain was always free
I felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wander out where you can't see
Inside my shell I wait and bleed
I felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wander out where you can't see
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed.
My favourite song lyrics are from 'The Reason' by Hoobanstank.
I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with every day
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you [x4]
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
You could be my unintendedChoice to live my life extendedYou could be the one I'll always loveYou could be the one who listens to my deepest inquisitionsYou could be the one I'll always loveI'll be there as soon as I canBut I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had beforeFirst there was the one who challengedAll my dreams and all my balanceShe could never be as good as youYou could be my unintendedChoice to live my life extendedYou should be the one I'll always loveI'll be there as soon as I canBut I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had beforeI'll be there as soon as I canBut I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had beforeBefore you
