"Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog
Where no one notices the contrast of white on white
And in between the moon and you the angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
I walk in the air between the rain through myself and back again
Where? I dont know": Round Here, Counting Crows

...some of the most descriptive lyrics I know of. My favorite band-

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
Where have you been?
It's alright we know where you've been.
You've been in the pipeline, filling in time,
Provided with toys and 'Scouting for Boys'.
You bought a guitar to punish your ma,
And you didn't like school, and you
know you're nobody's fool,
So welcome to the machine.

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
What did you dream?
It's alright we told you what to dream.
You dreamed of a big star,
He played a mean guitar,
He always ate in the Steak Bar.
He loved to drive in his Jaguar.
So welcome to the Machine

Yeah, you know when I drink alone, I prefer to be by myself.

All my life, though some have changed;
Some forever, not for better,
Some have gone and some remain.

How does it get any artsier or fartsier than Kurt Weill?

And in the original, it's not [i]about girls... it's sung by girls.

Yeah...I was just thinking " How is Brecht/Weil the basics??"



This is the sound of poisons the sickness no one knows
No one is crying for us this time as shapes are blown under miracles
of snow
Weave a circle around him three times
You have to plan your moves at these times
Our hearts are breaking one more song to go

These eyes are blind, this is a pure thing
These hands I kiss, tragic as anything
These eyes are blind, this is a pure thing
All splash and hiss beyond my measuring

Only anacrusis, the main event remains
Shameful and Naked out there in the great cold outdoors
We have to learn these things again
Bask in the incandescent glow
They lead to something I don't know
There is no doubt upon us when the greasy men come back again

These eyes are blind,this is a pure thing
These hands I kiss tragic as anything
These eyes are blind, this is a pure thing
All splash and hiss beyond my measuring

These faded flowers, precious as memories
A veil of clouds, correct as energy
We had some good machines but they don't work no more
I loved you once don't love you anymore

Shriekback - Faded Flowers

This is one of the most potent and lasting pop songs ever written. It brought me through some dark times, and I'll never forget a word.

Wild Horses (Jagger/Richards)

Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull, aching pain
Now you've decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Can make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let's do some living after we die

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday

I love Pink Floyd, and I love that song, but the "steak bar" line always makes me cringe. That, in my opinion, is a bad lyric. The rest of the song is good, though, so it balances out.

I really like all them "Aster" guitars. You know, like the Stratoc, Telec and Jazzm.

I'm growing older but not up
My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck
Let the winds of change blow over my head
I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead.
