    Love, exciting and new
    Come Aboard. We're expecting you.
    Love, life's sweetest reward.
    Let it flow, it floats back to you.
    The Love Boat soon will be making another run
    The Love Boat promises something for everyone
    Set a course for adventure,
    Your mind on a new romance.
    Love won't hurt anymore
    It's an open smile on a friendly shore.
    Yes LOVE! It's LOVE!
    The Love Boat soon will be making another run
    The Love Boat promises something for everyone
    Set a course for adventure,
    Your mind on a new romance.
    Love won't hurt anymore
    It's an open smile on a friendly shore.
    It's LOVE! It's LOVE! It's LOVE!
    It's the Love Boat-ah! It's the Love Boat-ah!

    matchbox twenty - "If You're Gone"

    I think I've already lost you
    I think you're already gone.
    I think I'm finally scared now
    You think I'm weak - But I think you're wrong
    I think you're already leaving
    Feels like your hand is on the door
    I thought this place was an empire
    But now I'm relaxed - I can't be sure

    I think you're so mean - I think we should try
    I think I could need - this in my life
    I think I'm just scared - I think too much
    I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing

    If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
    There's an awful lot of breathing room
    But I can hardly move
    If you're gone - baby you need to come home
    Cuz there's a little bit of something me
    In everything in you

    I bet you're hard to get over
    I bet the room just won't shine
    I bet my hands I can stay here
    I bet you need - more than you mind

    I think you're so mean - I think we should try
    I think I could need - this in my life
    I think I'm just scared - that I know too much
    I can't relate and that's a problem
    I'm feeling

    If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
    There's an awful lot of breathing room
    But I can hardly move
    If you're gone - baby you need to come home
    cuz there's a little bit of something me
    In everything in you

    I think you're so mean - I think we should try
    I think I could need - this in my life
    I think I'm just scared - do I talk too much
    I know it's wrong it's a problem I'm dealing

    ---
    I also like the lyrics to Train's "Drops of Jupiter" and the chorus to Alien Ant Farm's "Movies," mainly because they hold special significance to me.

    One of my faves is Bushwick Bill, Ever So Clear. A great beat too.


    See, most of my life I never had ****
    I felt like an outcast, treated like a misfit
    Damn near didn't make it on my day of birth
    Thinking was I really supposed to be on this planet earth
    I take a deep breath, and then another follows
    Cos hardship is kinda hard to swallow
    See, it's rough bein a loner
    Not knowin any given day and time I could wind up a goner
    See, people got it bad from jump street
    And bein short is just another strike against me
    I used to get funny looks cos I was small
    And tryin to make it was like runnin through a brick wall
    Given the odds I was up against, bro
    The average ***** woulda quit a long time ago
    But now I've got a record out
    I'm doin shows, people payin to see me turn it out
    Now I'm the spice around town
    It's funny how an album can change a *****'s life around
    I got friends and b****es on my ****
    But when they look at Richard all they see is Bushwick
    Sometimes I don't know a friend from a foe
    And every different day it's a different ****in hoe
    And now that my pockets are gettin bigger
    I'm meetin hoes who only wanna juice a *****
    They tell me that they love me and all that
    But really they just wait for me to fall flat
    So they can get me for my income
    Take me for all I got, and then some
    Like Trina, you dig
    I ****ed up and got too attached to the b****'s kid
    Knowin that she used the baby to use me
    Took him out my life, mentally abusin me
    But as the time went by I got another slimmy
    And she was just like the first one screamin gimme
    But not in the exact same way
    She had a different type of game she liked to play
    Her name was Crystal, she played the quiet type
    And for a little while **** seemed alright
    But just like the first hoe, homie
    When **** got hectic the b**** broke out on me
    And it's gettin outta hand, gee
    Cos nobody seems to understand me
    Reminiscin got me feelin kinda low
    I broke out the Ever-Clear and then I drunk some mo'
    Until it was all gone
    Now I'm lookin for somebody to take my pain out on
    But not just anybody, gee
    I'ma take that on to Mica cos she's the closest to me
    Full of that Ever-Clear and high on that buddah
    Get to the house all I'm thinkin bout is shootin her
    Cos shootin her would be sweet
    But you know what'd be sweeter? if I make her shootin me
    Call me crazy, but that's what I'm thinkin
    I'm trippin from all that smokin weed and drinkin
    But I knew she wouldn't do it on her own, so I provoked her
    Punched her, kicked her, and chocked her
    She still wouldn't grab the gun
    And at that time I wasn't thinkin about no one
    Damn near crazy I went and grabbed the baby
    Held him by the door and said i'ma throw his ass out, hoe
    She went to cryin, somebody stop him
    I said: you better grab the mutha****in gun or i'ma drop him
    She snatched the baby out of my hands
    We started fighting, punching, scratching, and biting
    When we fell on the bed, check this ****
    All kinds of crazy **** was goin through my head
    So I ran and got the gun and came back to her
    Loaded it up and handed the gat to her
    I grabbed her hand and placed the gun to my eye muscle
    She screamed stop and then we broke into another tussle
    Yo, durin the fight the gun went off quick
    Damn! aw ****, I'm hit
    (Aw... my eye, I can't see
    Why you shot me in the eye?
    I woulda shot you in the body
    Why you shot me in the eye?)
    Ridin in the ambulance everything is hectic
    I can't get a grip, I just can't check this
    Everybody's cryin, could it be I'm dyin
    Bullet in my head, in the bed was lyin
    Where's Mica? I wanna tell her I love her
    With an [ ] in my arm I took a picture for an album cover
    *******, the ****'s a trip, gee
    Five different doctors with needles tryin to stick me
    I hear my family hollerin he needs us
    Durin the confusion, man, I seen jesus
    My mom's on the phone long-distance from New York
    Here comes the doctors again tryin to rip me apart
    I got a monkey on my back, I can't shake it
    I'm havin suicidal thoughts hopin that I don't make it
    But I'ma make it cos something's steady urgin me
    Five hours passed, I made it through surgery
    And the doctor said I wouldn't make it through the night
    But god told me everything is gonna be alright
    And I'm glad that I'm here, gee
    But it's ****ed up I had to lose an eye to see **** clearly

    Aw man, I made it
    I made it
    And everyone gets to hear my story
    I made it
    But don't try this at your home
    Learn from my mistakes
    Kick the beat in, Bido

    I'm going to have to go with Isabel and say anything by Counting Crows. I would also add anything by Sarah McLachlan.


    "Saint Robinson In His Cadillac Dream"
    Counting Crows

    Staring out of his window as the world rushes by
    Arthur Robinson closes the glass and replies,
    "I dream of ballerinas and I don't know why?
    But I see Cadillac's sailing.
    I was born on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay
    Maryland and Virginia have faded away
    And I keep thinking tomorrow is coming today
    So I am endlessly waiting
    The comet is coming between
    Me and the girl who could make it all clean
    Out there in the shadow of the modern machine
    walks St. Robinson in his Cadillac dream
    Carrie's down in her basement all toe shoes and twinned
    With the girl in the mirror who spins when she spins,
    From where you think you will end up to the state that you're in
    Your reflection approaches and recedes again. Yeah
    And the comet is coming between
    Me and the girl who could make it all clean
    Out in the shadow of the modern machines
    Walks St. Robinson in his Cadillac dream
    I had a dream of a black car that shimmers and drives
    Down the length of the evening to the carnival's side
    In a house where regret is a carousel ride
    We are spinning and spinning and spinning
    There's a hole in the ceiling down through which I fell
    There's a girl in the basement coming out of her shell
    And there are people who will say they knew me so well
    I may not go to heaven..
    I hope that you go to hell!
    The comet is coming between
    Me and the girl who could make it all clean
    out there in the shadow of a modern machine
    Walks St. Robinson in his Cadillac dream
    In his dream.
    St. Robinson in his dream.
    Some people are never quite what they seem
    Come on baby come on baby
    Lets just Get into my car and drive.

    "Building A Mystery"
    Sarah McLachlan

    you come out at night
    that's when the energy comes
    and the dark side's light
    and the vampires roam
    you strut your rasta wear
    and your suicide poem
    and a cross from a faith
    that died before Jesus came
    you're building a mystery

    you live in a church
    where you sleep with voodoo dolls
    and you won't give up the search
    for the ghosts in the halls
    you wear sandals in the snow
    and a smile that won't wash away
    can you look out the window
    without your shadow getting in the way
    oh you're so beautiful
    with an edge and a charm
    but so careful
    when I'm in your arms

    (chorus)
    'cause you're working
    building a mystery
    holding on and holding it in
    yeah you're working
    building a mystery
    and choosing so carefully

    you woke up screaming aloud
    a prayer from your secret god
    you feed off our fears
    and hold back your tears

    give us a tantrum
    and a know it all grin
    just when we need one
    when the evening's thin

    oh you're a beautiful
    a beautiful ****ed up man
    you're setting up your
    razor wire shrine

    (chorus)
    'cause you're working
    building a mystery
    holding on and holding it in
    yeah you're working
    building a mystery
    and choosing so carefully

    repeat (chorus)
    'cause you're working
    building a mystery
    holding on and holding it in
    yeah you're working
    building a mystery
    and choosing so carefully

    your building a mystery

    The Origin of Love
    from Hedwig & The Angry Inch
    written & performed by Stephen Trask

    When the earth was still flat, And the clouds made of fire,
    And mountains stretched up to the sky, Sometimes higher,

    Folks roamed the earth Like big rolling kegs.
    They had two sets of arms. They had two sets of legs.

    They had two faces peering Out of one giant head
    So they could watch all around them As they talked; while they read.

    And they never knew nothing of love. It was before the origin of love. The origin of love

    And there were three sexes then, One that looked like two men
    Glued up back to back, Called the children of the sun.

    And similar in shape and girth Were the children of the earth.
    They looked like two girls Rolled up in one.

    And the children of the moon Were like a fork shoved on a spoon.
    They were part sun, part earth, part daughter, part son,

    The origin of love

    Now the gods grew quite scared Of our strength and defiance
    And Thor said, "I'm gonna kill them all With my hammer, Like I killed the giants."

    And Zeus said, "No, You better let me Use my lightening, like scissors, Like I cut the legs off the whales And dinosaurs into lizards."

    Then he grabbed up some bolts And he let out a laugh,
    Said, "I'll split them right down the middle. Gonna cut them right up in half."

    And then storm clouds gathered above Into great balls of fire

    And then fire shot down From the sky in bolts
    Like shining blades Of a knife.

    And it ripped Right through the flesh Of the children of the sun
    And the moon And the earth.

    And some Indian god Sewed the wound up into a hole,
    Pulled it round to our belly to remind us of the price we pay.

    And Osiris and the gods of the Nile Gathered up a big storm
    To blow a hurricane, To scatter us away, In a flood of wind and rain, And a sea of tidal waves,

    To wash us all away, And if we don't behave
    They'll cut us down again And we'll be hopping round on one foot
    And looking through one eye.

    Last time I saw you We had just split in two.
    You were looking at me. I was looking at you.

    You had a way so familiar, But I could not recognize,
    Cause you had blood on your face; I had blood in my eyes.

    But I could swear by your expression That the pain down in your soul Was the same as the one down in mine.

    That's the pain, Cuts a straight line Down through the heart;
    We called it love.

    So we wrapped our arms around each other,
    Trying to shove ourselves back together.
    We were making love, Making love.

    It was a cold dark evening, Such a long time ago
    When by the mighty hand of Jove,

    It was the sad story How we became Lonely two-legged creatures, It's the story of The origin of love. That's the origin of love.

    I like b****es, all type of b****es
    To take off my shirt and pull down my britches
    If she got big t*tties, I'll squeeze em and hold em
    While she suck my dick and lick my scrotum


    --Geto Boys, "Gangsta of Love"

    ***********

    I had a dream last night I was cast into hell by a jealous god
    The devil walked up and said "You won't need no lightning rod
    It hardly ever rains down here, I can't recall the last storm
    You ain't gonna need that leather jacket, it gets kinda warm
    There's one way in, no way out, looks like you're here to stay
    The place is a mess, it's over crowded and more are comin' in every day"

    I said, "Aw man, wait a minute there's gotta be something wrong
    I ain't a bad guy, I just write these little songs
    I always pay my union dues, and I don't stay in the passin' lane"
    And he said, "What about all that whisky and cocaine?"
    I said, "Well, yeah, but that's no reason to throw me in hell.
    I didn't use the cocaine to get high, I just liked the way it smelled."

    ...

    It looked like I was gonna be stuck here as far as I could tell
    I thought I might as well suck up, you know, what the hell
    I said, "You know that song that Charlie Daniels did
    About how you went down to Georgia and played fiddle agains that kid?"
    "Yeah", he said "it broke my heart, but, you know, what are you gonna do?"
    "Well to tell you the truth I thought your solo was the better of the two."

    Then I woke up and I was lying in my bed
    I ran up the stairs and kissed my little boy on his sleeping head
    I took this dream as a sign from God so I thought I better pray
    I said, "Don't ever speak to me directly and thanks anyway."
    Now so much has changed about me besides just giving up red meat
    Some get spiritual cause they see the light and some cause they feel the
    heat.



    -- Ray Wylie Hubbard, "Conversation With the Devil"

    **************

    If it happened to be
    A thousand miles of sky were falling
    Only on me
    If it happened to be
    I’d throw it all away in anger
    And never believe, again
    If it happened to be
    I could lose it all
    Everything that matters to me

    Run to me
    Run to me and take my hand
    Run to me forever

    If it happened to be
    A flash of lightning then it’s over
    Eternal release
    It can happen you see
    Did I wait too long for a chance to say
    The things that I mean


    --Damon Johnson, "If It Happened To Be"

    **************

    The best laid plans, in ashes on the ground
    The last two years, scattered all around
    The old preoccupation's nowhere to be found
    The close of a slamming door's a welcome sound

    Some things just aren't meant to be
    Like a raindrop, mistaken for the sea
    And if they ask me how I'll remember you
    The answer's in these pictures torn in two


    --The Refrainy Days, "Pictures Torn In Two"

    Snoop Doggy Dogg - "Lodi Dodi"

    Yeah, gotta say what's up to my ni**a Slick Rick
    For those who don't like it, eat a d**k
    But for those who with me, sing that s**t
    As it go a little something like this

    La Di Da Di, we likes to party
    We don't cause trouble, we don't bother nobody
    We're, just some ni**az who're on the mic
    And when we rock up on the mic we rock the mic

    For all my Doggs keepin y'all in health
    Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself
    Cuz it's cool when ya cause a cozy conditionin
    Which we create, cuz that's our mission
    So listen close, to what we say
    Because this types of s**t happens every-day
    I woke up around 10 o'clock in the mornin
    I gave myself a strech up, a mornin yawn and
    went to the bathroom to wash up
    I threw some soap on my face and put my hands up on a cup
    and said um "Mirror mirror, on, the wall
    Who is the top Dogg of them all?"
    There was a rubble dubble, five minutes it lasted
    The mirror said, "You are you conceited b*stard"
    Well that's true, that's why we never have no beef
    So I slipped off my khakis and my gold leaf
    Used Oil of Olay, cuz my skin gets pale
    And then I got the file, for my fingernails
    I'm true to the style on my behalf
    I put some bubbles in the tub so I can take a bubble bath
    Clean, dry, was my body and hair
    I threw on my brand new Doggy underwear
    for all the b****es I might take home
    I got the Johnson baby powder and Cool Water cologne
    Now I'm fresh, dressed, like a million bucks
    Threw on my white sox, with my all blue chucks
    Stepped out the house, stopped short, oh no
    I went back in, I forgot my indo
    Then I dilly [dally] I ran through an [alley]
    I bumped into this smoker named [Sally] from the [Valley]
    This was a girl playin hard to get
    So I said "What's wrong?" cuz she looked upset
    She said um

    It's all because of you, i'm feelin said and blue
    You went away, now my life is filled with rainy days
    I love you so, how much you'll never know
    Cause you took your dope away from me
    A-huh, a-huh, ahuh

    Damn, now what was I to do
    She's cryin over me and she was feelin blue
    I said, "Um, don't cry, dry your eye
    And here comes your mother with those two little guys"
    Her mean mother steps then says to me "Hi!!"
    Decked Sally in the face and punched her in the eye
    Punched her in the belly and stepped on her feet
    Slammed the child on the hard concrete
    The b**** was strong, the kids was gone
    Somethin was wrong I said, "What was goin on?"
    I tried to break up, I said, "Stop it, just leave her!"
    She said, "If I can't smoke none, she can't either!"
    She grabbed my closely by my socks
    So I broke the hell out, and I grabbed my sack of rocks
    But um, they gave chase, they caught up quick
    They started cryin on my shoes and grabbin my d**k
    and sayin....


    Why don't you give me a play
    So we can brake it down the Long Beach way
    And if you give me that okay
    I'll give you all my love today
    Doggy, Doggy, Doggy, can't you see
    Somehow your words just hypnotize me
    And I just love your jazzy ways
    Doggy Dogg, your love is here to stay

    And on and on and on she kept goin
    The b**** been around before my mother's born!
    I said, "Cheer up!" so I gave her a hit
    I said, "You can't have me, I'm too young for you b****!"
    She said, "No you're not," then she starts cryin
    I says I'm nineteen, she says, "Stop lyin!"
    I says, "I am, go ask my mother
    And with your wrinkled p***y, I can't be your lover"
    Yeah, uhh, tic toc you don't stop
    And to the, ah tic toc and you don't quit
    Yeah, tic toc and ya don't stop, and to the
    ah tic toc and ya don't quit, b**tch!​

    Snoop is dominating this thread. Here's some more, from "**** You."

    Baby was a virgin, that's what she said
    So I gave her some Hennessey, she gave me some head
    I ****ed her on the floor so I wouldn't mess up my bed
    Then Little Half Dead put his dick on her head


    I had to pull over the first time I heard that song to avoid getting into a wreck.

    Again
    -------
    I heard from a friend today,
    And she said you were in town
    Suddenly the memories came back to me in
    My mind

    (chorus):

    How can I be strong I've asked myself
    Time and time I've said
    That I'll never fall in love with you again

    A wounded heart you gave,
    My soul you took away
    Good intentions you had many,
    I know you did
    I come from a place that hurts,
    God knows how I've cried
    And I never want to return
    Never fall again

    Making love to you it felt so good and
    Oh so right

    (chorus):

    How can I be strong I've asked myself
    Time and time I've said
    That I'll never fall in you love with you again
    So here we are along again,
    Didn't think it'd come to this
    And to know it all began
    With just a little kiss
    I've come too close to happiness,
    To have it swept away
    Don't think I can take the pain
    No never fall again

    Kinda late in the game
    And my hearts is in your hands
    Don't you stand there and then tell me
    You love me
    Then leave again
    'Cause I'm falling in love with you again

    Hold me, hold me
    Don't ever let me go
    Say it just one time
    Say you love me
    God knows I do love you again

    Big props to Rashmon, the only one who posted lyrics from the greatest of all lyricists Bob Dylan.

    My vote goes to everything by Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Elvis Costello and Lou Reed. Honorable mention to Tom Waits, Gil-Scott Heron and Pete Townshend. Special prizes go to Ice-T for Freedom of Speech, Tone Loc for Cheeba Cheeba and NWA for the whole of Straight Outta Compton. And Cole Porter didn't suck either.

    Now here's a bonus, specially for Rashmon, from the lowercase god of all things lyrical, even though it's not lyrics since it was never sung over music (It will help you all if you'll let it):

    Advice for Geraldine on her Miscellaneous Birthday

    stay in line. stay in step. people
    are afraid of someone who is not
    in step with them. it makes them
    look foolish t' themselves for
    being in step. it might even
    cross their minds that they themselves
    are in the wrong step. do not run
    nor cross the red line. if you go
    too far out in any direction, they
    will lose sight of you. they'll feel
    threatened. thinking that they are
    not a part of something that they
    saw go past them, they'll feel
    something's going on up there that
    they don't know about. revenge
    will set in. they will start thinking
    of how t' get rid of you. act
    mannerly towards them. if you don't,
    they will take it personal. as you
    come directly in contact face t' face
    do not make it a secret of how
    much you need them. if they sense
    that you have no need for them,
    the first thing they will do is
    try t' make you need them. if
    this doesn't work, they will tell
    you of how much they don't need
    you. if you do not show any sadness
    at a remark such as this, they
    will immediately tell other people
    of how much they don't need you.
    your name will begin t' come up
    in circles where people gather
    to tell about all the people they
    don't need. you will begin t' get
    famous this way. this, though, will
    only get the people who you don't need
    in the first place
    all the more madder.
    you will become
    a whole topic of conversation.
    needless t' say, these people
    who don't need you will start
    hating themselves for needing t' talk
    about you. then you yourself will
    start hating yourself for causing so
    much hate. as you can see, it will
    all end in one great gunburst.
    never trust a cop in a raincoat.
    when asked t' define yourself exactly,
    say you are an exact mathematician.
    do not say or do anything that
    he who standing in front of you
    watching cannot understand, he will
    feel you know something he
    doesn't. he will react with blinding
    speed and write your name down.
    talk on his terms. if his terms
    are old-fashioned an' you've
    passed that stage all the more easier
    t' get back there. say what he
    can understand clearly. say it simple
    t' keep your tongue out of your
    cheek. after he hears you, he can
    label you good or bad. anyone will
    do. t' some people, there is only
    good an' bad. in any case, it will
    make him feel somewhat important.
    it is better t' stay away from
    these people. be careful of
    enthusiasm...it is all temporary
    an' don't let it sway you. when asked
    if you go t' church, always answer
    yes, never look at your shoes. when
    asked you you think of gene autrey
    singing of hard rains gonna fall say
    that nobody can sing it as good as
    peter, paul and mary. at the mention
    of the president's name, eat a pint of
    yogurt an' go t' sleep early...when
    asked if you're a communist, sing
    america the beautiful in an
    italian accent. beat up nearest
    street cleaner. if by any
    chance you're caught naked in a
    parked car, quick turn the radio on
    full blast an' pretend
    that you're driving. never leave
    the house without a jar of peanut
    butter. do not wear
    matched socks. when asked to do 100
    pushups always smoke a pound
    of deodorant beforehand.
    when asked if you're a capitalist, rip
    open your shirt, sing buddy can
    you spare a dime with your
    right foot forward an' proceed t'
    chew up a dollar bill.
    do not sign any dotted line. do not
    fall in trap of criticizing people
    who do nothing else but criticize.
    do Not create anything. it will be
    misinterpreted. it will not change.
    it will follow you the
    rest of your life. when asked what you
    do for a living say you laugh for
    a living. be suspicious of people
    who say that if you are not nice
    t' them, they will commit suicide.
    when asked if you care about
    the world's problems, look deeply
    into the eyes of he that asks
    you, he will not ask you again. when
    asked if you've spent time in jail,
    announce proudly that some of your
    best friends've asked you that.
    beware of bathroom walls that've not
    been written on. when told t' look at
    yourself...never look. when asked
    t' give your real name...never give it.
