Is there any song you wish you had written?

If so, post its lyrics here!

 

I could say: Music when the Lights go out by The Libs.

Or Try by Nelly Furtado (for example).

EVERYTHING by Jeff Buckley,

Almost everything by Coldplay, musically, lyrics..meh. depends on the song.

And I love all of Muse.

Lyrically, musically.

Okay :happy:

I wish I wrote Flowerstand Man by Dido & Faithless.

They're so brutal...and yet so wonderful.

 

" 'Bout a month ago I'd never seen your face

I'd never heard your voice

'Bout a month ago

I am a careful hunter

And I had to search

Before I found your love

'Bout a month ago

Are you my boy or the Flowerstand Man

You brought such colour to this place

Are you my boy or the Flowerstand Man

With you I am laid back

I don't care if every River runs so dry

I don't care if every Species were to die

I don't care about the Ozone layer

I wouldn't notice if it wasn't there

Oh no I don't care if we sell Coke to Africa

I don't care about apartheid

I wouldn't notice if it all get better

I don't care about the starving who've died

You're my boy when the way you live and breathe

I don't care about anything but you

You're my boy when the way you live and breathe

I don't care about anything "

uhm..

 

Paranoid android, very good lyrics :)

This song is one of the most wonderful ever...Totally moving

Closer To Fine by the Indigo GIrls. The lyrics are so intelligent.

The Scientist...who doesn't wish they'd written that?

Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before by The Smiths...I love Johnny Marr's guitars in that song...and besides, then Coldplay would have covered my song,lol.:lol:

Let Go, by Frou Frou

and Big Balls by ACDC :)

Imagine, by John Lennon.

 

and of course A Rush of Blood To the Head by Coldplay, my favorite song ever! :D

Such Great Heights - The Postal Service

 

I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles

In our eyes are mirror images and when

We kiss they're perfectly aligned

And I have to speculate that God himself

Did make us into corresponding shapes like

Puzzle pieces from the clay

And true, it may seem like a stretch, but

Its thoughts like this that catch my troubled

Head when you're away when I am missing you to death

When you are out there on the road for

Several weeks of shows and when you scan

The radio, I hope this song will guide you home

 

They will see us waving from such great

Heights, 'come down now,' they'll say

But everything looks perfect from far away,

'come down now,' but we'll stay...

 

I tried my best to leave this all on your

Machine but the persistent beat it sounded

Thin upon listening

And that frankly will not fly. You will hear

The shrillest highs and lowest lows with

The windows down when this is guiding you home

 

Great lyrics and its very catchy!

Pretty much all songs written by Ben Gibbard from Death Cab for Cutie, but specifically "Title and Registration". I'll only post this song because but I dont feel like typing atm :laugh4:

 

The glove compartment is accurately named

And everybody knows it.

So i'm proposing a swift orderly change.

 

Cause behind its door there's nothing to keep my fingers warm

And all i find are souvenirs from better times

Before the gleam of your taillights fading east

To find yourself a better life.

 

I was searching for some legal document

As the rain beat down on the hood

When i stumbled upon pictures i tried to forget

And that's how this idea was drilled into my head

 

Cause it's too important

To stay the way it's been

 

There's no blame for how our love did slowly fade

And now that it's gone it's like it wasn't there at all

And here i rest where disappointment and regret collide

Lying awake at night

White Shadows - Coldplay

See You Soon

Let Go, by Frou Frou

and Big Balls by ACDC :)

 

 

With that last one.are you trying to compensate for something else? :lol:

Lyrically two wonderful songs :

 

1 - Wish You Were Here, by Pink Floyd

 

So, so you think you can tell

Heaven from hell

Blue skies from pain.

Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail ?

A smile from a veil ?

Do you think you can tell ?

 

And did they get you to trade

Your heroes for ghosts ?

Hot ashes for trees ?

And hot air for a cool breeze ?

Cold comfort for change ?

And did you exchange

A walk-on part in the war for a lead-role in a cage ?

 

How I wish, how I wish you were here

We're just two lost souls

Swimming in a fish bowl

Year after year

Running over the same old ground

What have we found ?

The same old fears.

Wish you were here.

 

2 - How Soon Is Now ? by The Smiths

 

I am the son and the heir

Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar

I am the son and heir

Of nothing in particular...

 

You shut your mouth, how can you say

I go about things the wrong way ?

I am human and I need to be loved

Just like everybody else does.

 

There's a club, if you'd like to go

You could meet somebody who really loves you

So you go and you stand on your own

And you leave on your own

And you go home, and you cry

And you want to die.

 

When you say it's gonna happen 'now'

Well when exactly do you mean ?

See I've already waited too long

And all my hope is gone.

This must be the most miserable song I ever heard.

 

To those ones I could add Creep, by Radiohead and Without You I'm Nothing, by Placebo.

"Bitter Sweet Symphony" by The Verve fo' shizzle ma' nizzle.

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life

Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the money then you die

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down

You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah

No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,

but I'm here in my mold , I am here in my mold

But I'm a million different people from one day to the next

I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no

 

Well, I've never prayed,

But tonight I'm on my knees, yeah

I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah

I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind , I feel free now

But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

 

No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,

but I'm here in my mold , I am here with my mold

And I'm a million different people from one day to the next

I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no

 

(Well have you ever been down?)

(I can't change, I can't change...)

(Ooooohhhhh...)

 

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life

Trying to make ends meet, trying to find some money then you die

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down

You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah

You know I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,

but I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold

And I'm a million different people from one day to the next

I can't change my mold, no,no,no,no,no

I can't change my mold, no,no,no,no,no

I can't change my mold, no,no,no,no,no

 

(It justs sex and violence melody and silence)

(It justs sex and violence melody and silence)

(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down)

(It justs sex and violence melody and silence)

(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down)

(Been down)

(Ever been down)

(Ever been down)(Lalalalalalaaaaaaaa...)

(Ever been down)

(Ever been down)

(Have you ever been down?)

(Have you ever been down?)

(Have you ever been down?)

^^ Ditto on that one
