What collection would be complete without Joni? .....

"Help me I think I'm falling in love too fast
It's got me hoping for the future
And worrying about the past
'Cause I've seen some hot hot blazes
Come down to smoke and ash
We love our lovin'......but not like we love our freedom"

'Joni Mitchell - Help Me'

I drilled a hole in my head to let the sun shine through

Which immediatly made me think of....

"I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in ...
and stops my wind from wanderin' ...
where it will go-oooo!"

I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.
I'd love to turn you on.

(Eddie Vedder / Pearl Jam, Album; Yield, 1998)

i wish i was a neutron bomb, for once i could go off
i wish i was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on
i wish i was a sentimental ornament that you hung on
the christmas tree, i wish i was the star that went on top
i wish i was the evidence, i wish i was the grounds
for fifty million hands upraised and open toward the sky
i wish i was a sailor with someone who waited for me
i wish i was as fortunate as fortunate as me
i wish i was a messenger and all the news was good
i wish i was the full moon shining off of a camaro's hood
i wish i was an alien at home behind the sun
i wish i was the souvenir you kept your house key on
i wish i was the pedal brake that you depended upon
i wish i was the verb to trust that never let you down
i wish i was a radio song the one that you turned up
i wish i wish...

(Excerpt) (Eddie Vedder / Pearl Jam, Album; Riot Act, 2002)

the selfish, they're all standing in line
faithing and hoping to buy themselves time
me, i figure, as each breath goes by
i only own my mind
the north is to south what the clock is to time
there's east and there's west and there's everywhere life
i know i was born and i know that i'll die
the in-between is mine
i am mine

"As the sun beats down and I lay on the bench I can always hear them talk,
Me? ...I'm just a lawnmower, you can tell me by the way I walk!"

Who can say

Where the day flows?
Only time
And who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose?
Only time

Quote:

Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down

Will you recognise me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down

"I hear the drizzle of the rain, like a memory it falls,
Soft and warm, continuing, tapping on my roof and walls,
And from the shelter of my mind, Through the window of my eyes,
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets, To England where my heart lies"

"oh to live on Sugar Mountain, with the Barkers and the coloured balloons,
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain, tho you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon"

Pink Floyd and Rush both had some very lyrical songs, quite unlike what one would expect from a heavy-metal band.  (Though neither quite fit into the heavy-metal category, or probably any fixed category, anyway.)

I especially like the lyrics of New World Man (which album was that from?), particularly:

Quote:

He's not concerned with yesterday,
He knows constant change is here today

(Though that last line might have been better if it had been "...to stay".)

Genesis are another band with great lyrics.  One For the Vine from Wind and Wuthering is the only Möbius-loop lyric I've ever come across!
