Some Lyrics which can stand out...

" now here comes the rain, I project my pain, trying to make sense of these crazy things...."

Crazytown... Black Cloud


" And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad, but the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I ever had"

Tears for Fears.... Mad World.

Nice idea for a thread Adrian. The TFF snippet is very appropriate....

Green River - CCR (J C Fogerty)

"Up at Cody's camp I spent my days
With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers.
Old Cody Junior took me over,
Said you're gonna find the world is smoulderin'
if you get lost come on home to Green River."

I thought you would like that one...

"the world is smoulderin'
if you get lost come on home to Green River."

Now that's kinda cool stuff there Cybot!!

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

Profound.

Elenore, gee I think you're swell
And you really do me well
You're my pride and joy et cetera.

wordsmiths!

Thanks Adrian I always loved that line :)

It's Raining Today" - Scott Walker

"It's raining today
And I watch the cellophane streets
No hang-ups for me
'Cause hang-ups need company"



Big Louise - Scott Walker

"She stands all alone
You can hear her hum softly
From her fire escape in the sky
She fills the bags 'neath her eyes
With the moonbeams
And cries 'cause the world's passed her by"

  
Boy Child - Scott Walker

"What can it cost
To give a boy child back his sight
Extensions through dimensions
Leave you feeling cold and lame
Boy child mustn't tremble
'cos he came without a name"
 

Orpheus - David Sylvian

"Standing firm on this stony ground
The wind blows hard
Pulls these clothes around
I harbour all the same worries as most
The temptations to leave or to give up the ghost
I wrestle with an outlook on life
That shifts between darkness and shadowy light
I struggle with words for fear that they'll hear
But Orpheus sleeps on his back still dead to the world"

Voyage of Brendan - Brendan Perry (Dead Can Dance)

"Father father
Can you tell me
Where the hours go
Where time flows ?
It is written in the stars
Upon the milky way
That we must burn bright
Before we fade away ?


Mother mother
Can you tell me
Where the fire goes
When the flames cease ?
From the ashes to the astral plain
Where the setting sun meets the sea, Brendan

I live by the river
Where the old gods still dream
Of inner communion
With the open sea

Through the eye of the hunter
In search of a prey
Neither beast nor human
In my philosophy

If you don't recognise me
Well it's simply because
I've outgrown these old clothes
Time to move on

For you and I will outlive
The masks life gave us
When this shadowplay comes
To a close"
