Favorite Song Lyrics

[starskin]

Word to the Peter Gabriel, U2 and Jeff Buckley lyrics (I think "Lover, You Should Have Come Over" might be his best song). I also think the entirity of "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses" qualifies as some of my favorite lyrics. My friend actually wants to get a tattoo of "Your gypsy heart"---I think it's the delivery.

I was talking with a friend about The Tragically Hip, and she does concert and CD reviews for a living and she was telling me about how all her friends in the business absolutely hate the Trouble at the Henhouse album. So naturally I went home and listened to it.

I have to say, for a reviled pop album it contains one of my favourite songs of all time, Don't Wake Daddy with one of my favourite verses of all time:

Sled Dogs after dinner close their eyes on their howlin' ways
Kurt cobain, reincarnated, sighs and licks his face
Then they drift past strips of Seregeneti and the gates of sleepy hollow too
You can pause and wonder they pause and wonder yeah I pause and wonder too

I don't know why I like it so much. Maybe because everyone else hates it and I'm secretly emo or something.

So simple, but:

"my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder"

from Jeff Buckley's "Lover, You Should've Come Over" is amazing.

That is my favourite song ever and that line makes the song!

I don't know why I like the following verse but it works in the song and always makes me smile:

Pulp - Disco 2000

Well we were born within one hour of each other.
Our mothers said we could be sister and brother.
Your name is deborah, deborah.
It never suited ya.
