Just one of my many favorites! By The Eagles
"Desperado"
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses? You been out ridin' fences for so long now Oh, you're a hard one I know that you got your reasons These things that are pleasin' you Can hurt you somehow
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy She'll beat you if she's able You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me, some fine things Have been laid upon your table But you only want the ones that you can't get
Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin' Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time? The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine It's hard to tell the night time from the day You're losin' all your highs and lows Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses? Come down from your fences, open the gate It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you You better let somebody love you, before it's too late

This one by new artist Anna Nalick is particularly amazing!!
Breathe (2 AM)"
2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake, "Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?, I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season" Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes Like they have any right at all to criticize, Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason
'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table No one can find the rewind button, girl. So cradle your head in your hands And breathe... just breathe, Oh breathe, just breathe
In May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss "Just a Day", he said down to the flask in his fist, "Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year." Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while, But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles, Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it.
Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable, And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table. No one can find the rewind button, boys, So cradle your head in your hands, And breathe... just breathe, Oh breathe, just breathe
There's a light at each end of this tunnel, You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again If you only try turning around.
2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me, Threatening the life it belongs to And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud And I know that you'll use them, however you want to
But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable, And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table No one can find the rewind button now Sing it if you understand. and breathe, just breathe woah breathe, just breathe, Oh breathe, just breathe, Oh breathe, just breathe.

"I’ve got another confession to make I’m your fool Everyone’s got their chains to break Holdin’ you
Were you born to resist or be abused? Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you? Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Are you gone and onto someone new? I needed somewhere to hang my head Without your noose You gave me something that I didn’t have But had no use I was too weak to give in Too strong to lose My heart is under arrest again But I break loose My head is giving me life or death But I can’t choose I swear I’ll never give in I refuse
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you? Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you? Has someone taken your faith? Its real, the pain you feel Your trust, you must Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you? Oh...
Has someone taken your faith? Its real, the pain you feel The life, the love You die to heal The hope that starts The broken hearts Your trust, you must Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you? Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
I’ve got another confession my friend I’m no fool I’m getting tired of starting again Somewhere new
Were you born to resist or be abused? I swear I’ll never give in I refuse
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you? Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you? Has someone taken your faith? Its real, the pain you feel Your trust, you must Confess Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you? Oh..." -Best of You, Foo Fighters

I have soooo many favorite song lyrics, but I'll list my VERY favorite ones here.
"And everybody wants to see you suffer They know that you need the pain so much They throw you up a rope when you're too high To cruise, baby Lord, you lose lady Then they charge you with the rescue blues" -Ryan Adams, 'Rescue Blues'
"It always rains like hell on the losers' day parade" -The Goo Goo Dolls, 'Broadway'
"And I could write a song A hundred miles long Well, that's where I belong And you belong to me
And I could write it down Or spread it all around Get lost and then get found Or swallowed in the sea" -Coldlay, 'Swallowed in the Sea'
"If life is a living room, then I'm in the hall and I'm glad" -David Gray, 'Living Room'

Seether feat. Amy Lee - Broken
I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away I keep your photograph and I know it serves me well I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome And I don't feel right when you're gone away
You've gone away, you don't feel me, anymore
The worst is over now and we can breathe again I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open And I don't feel like I am strong enough 'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome And I don't feel right when you're gone away
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome And I don't feel right when you're gone away
You've gone away You don't feel me here anymore

One of my favourites...
Helloween - I Want Out
From our lives beginning on We are pushed in little forms No one asks us how we like to be In school they teach us what to think But everyone says different things But they're all convinced that They're the ones to see
So they keep talking and they never stop And at a certain point you give it up So the only thing that's left to think is this
[Chorus] I want out - to live my life alone I want out - leave me be I want out - to do things on my own I want out - to live my life and to be free
People tell me A and B They tell me how I have to see Things that I have seen already clear So they push me then from side to side They're pushing me from black to white They're pushing 'til there's nothing more to hear
But don't push me to the maximum Shut your mouth and take it home 'Cause I decide the way things gonna be
[Chorus]
There's a million ways to see the things in life A million ways to be the fool In the end of it, none of us is right Sometimes we need to be alone

Blak Twang - My World
Its a great political rap track by one of the best british rappers, aimed at the people who like to critisice rap music.
"listen to my cd one time and highlight one line, then want to conclude that all rap tunes are one kind, yeah they're quick to pass judgement, thats our government, as long as its blacks attacking black its our problem"
"watch this kneejerk reaction really designed after the crime these dark rhymes for these dark times welcome to my world, stop listen learn ignore us at your own peril I've got a kamikazi mindframe like a mad man flying a plane but I know i aint dying in vain they're always passing the buck always trying to blame for their fuck ups they still can't make me shut up they made so solid scapegoats for what they wrote they hate to see us rich so wont stop till we're broke press sensationalise lies and fabricate quotes I dont believe any of you pussyo's you all take coke I don't care what you think man, i study the textbooks what you think we've got no sense and all sound like westwood? nah, im articulate, smart and I dress good... I never told you go kill, i never told you go steal I told you about them kids that couldn't get no 3 course meals David Blunket and Kim Howell or Foul before you blame rap music examine your own infrastructure"

I broke into your house last night And left a note at your bedside I'm far too shy to speak to you at school You leave me numb and I'm not sure why
I find it easier to sit and stare Than push my limbs out towards you right there My heart is bursting in your perfect eyes As blue as oceans and as pure as skies
I struggle for the words and then give up My heads up with the birds on the t-hut A little piece of mind that I know better That the plain disgrace of all my letters
After that the floodgates opened up And I fell in love with everyone I saw Please take your time I'm not in any rush And it's in everything I ever write
It's not as if I need the extra weight Confused enough by life so thanks a lot Lonely written words for company Just raise the roof this once and follow me
- 'Spitting Games', Snow Patrol.
no, you're not alone cause everyone who's out there's on there own but you were always the same tryin to be like no ones ever been you try so hard you get it wrong you can't deny the feeling's gone its time you took a look at what you need
so keep holding on and time will come you'll jump right up and find you're back on top of the world sure in time you'll be heard, you said, come on everybody knows you're meant for better and say what you mean, or you won't mean a thing to me come on everybody ignores you now but soon your time will come
- 'You're Not Alone', Embrace.

"Well I won’t back down, no I won’t back down You can stand me up at the gates of hell But I won’t back down
Gonna stand my ground, won’t be turned around And I’ll keep this world from draggin’ me down Gonna stand my ground and I won’t back down
Hey baby, there ain’t no easy way out Hey I will stand my ground And I won’t back down.
Well I know what’s right, I got just one life In a world that keeps on pushin’ me around But I’ll stand my ground and I won’t back down
Hey baby there ain’t no easy way out Hey I will stand my ground And I won’t back down No, I won’t back down" -I Won't Back Down, Tom Petty

"Right Where It Belongs"
See the animal in it's cage that you built Are you sure what side you're on? Better not look him too closely in the eye Are you sure what side of the glass you are on? See the safety of the life you have built Everything where it belongs Feel the hollowness inside of your heart And it's all Right where it belongs
[Chorus:] What if everything around you Isn't quite as it seems? What if all the world you think you know Is an elaborate dream? And if you look at your reflection Is it all you wanted to be? What if you could look right through the cracks? Would you find yourself Find yourself afraid to see?
What if all the world's inside of your head Just creations of your own? Your devils and your gods All the living and the dead And you really are alone You can live in this illusion You can choose to believe You keep looking but you can't find the woods While you're hiding in the trees
great song by nine inch nails

That Dog - Raina
Her name was Raina. She blew my mind.
What a mouth she had on her. What a thing you'd never want to find.
She blew my mind.
I walked her to the door. I said, "I don't want to look at you anymore."
I walked her to the door. I said, "I don't want to look at you anymore."
Her name was Raina. She made me sick inside
With all her chitterchat. I want to run and hide.
She made me sick inside.
I walked her to the door. I said, "I don't want to look at you anymore."
I walked her to the door. I said, "I don't want to look at you anymore."
Raina, she blew my mind.
She made me sick inside.

You say that but if you changed the letters in Bryan Adams and moved them around a little bit you can spell 'I love Winky'. Get out the tinfoil!
