Africa -Toto

I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

[Ted Logan]

"My dream girl don't exist
Just you and I and this TV
And this illness seems to feel so strange
Like a henchman that's about to hang
The moon up like a ball and chain
And set the sands ablaze"

i love most of jeff mangum's lyrics, but there's something about that verse that feels special to me.

There's one lyric that has brought me to tears several times.

Amazing love. How can it be that You my King would die for me?

But I also really love the ones that paint a picture.

This. Pretty much anything by Aaron Weiss tbh. Also this one by The Streets:

"Thought things were ok/Didn't care though anyway/Said 'sorry babe, I had meet a mate tempting fate'/We first met through a shared view/She loved me and I did too"

YouTube - the streets its too late

"If I could only be the moon / then you would love me like you used to / if only I could light up your eyes / whisper goodnight, instead of goodbye" - LN, "If I Could Only Be the Moon"

Also, pretty much absolutely every lyric from Over the Rhine's Films for Radio and Ohio albums...

So this is the new year
And i don't feel any different.
The clanking of crystal
Explosions off in the distance

Death Cab, New year

really live this song, in that the words are simple but they ring true. its from the song Beg by Shane and Shane

So here I am
Got my deeds for the day
All my cute little words about
How I am saved
Am I saved?

Could I love you with my mouth like a church kid should
At the end of the day
My words get burned as wood
Oh, but I was good.

I’m haunted by my God
Who has the right to ask me
What by the nature of my rebellion
I cannot give.

[Kentl]

All verses form cats in the cradle


sad sad song


but i gues

the last part gets me
"and as i hung up the phone it acure to me
my boy was just like me"

"We-we-we so excited
We so excited"

or

"Dead in the middle of Little Italy little did we know
that we riddled some middleman who didn't do diddily"

[Josey Wales]

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage plunder, we rifle and loot.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We extort and pilfer, we filch and sack.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
Maraud and embezzle and even highjack.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We kindle and char and in flame and ignite.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We burn up the city, we're really a fright.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

We're rascals and scoundrels, we're villians and knaves.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We're devils and black sheep, we're really bad eggs.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

We're beggars and blighters and ne'er do-well cads,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
