Write some of your favourite lyrics in songs you like, and write as well where they come from and why, if there’s reasons for you to liking them!
I’ll start with a few:
Lorde - Green light
“I know about what you did and I wanna scream the truth
She thinks you love the beach, you're such a damn liar
Those great whites, they have big teeth
Hope they bite you
Thought you said that you would always be in love
But you're not in love no more”
Kim Karnes - Bette Davis Eyes
“Her hair is Harlow gold
Her lips a sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
She's got Bette Davis eyes”
JOJO - Too little too late (this song was always a wake up slap when I didn’t want to let go of some people)
“It's just too little too late
A little too long
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say
(You know it's just too little too late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You just like the chase
So be real
It doesn't matter anyway
(You know it's just too little too late)“

There’s many songs that have many lyrics that pull at my heart strings for different reasons. This one is one is probably my favourite song as it reminds me of the relationship with my mum, who I probably get most of my moral compass from.
Lynyrd Skynyrds -simple man
Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it'll help you
Some sunny day oh yeah

I’m gonna add also another JOJO, she was speaking the truth at 14 for all of us!!
Like this is when I’m completely over someone and they try to come back the woodwork
“Get out (leave) right now
It's the end of you and me
It's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone
'Cause I know about her (who)
And I wonder (why) how I bought all the lies
You said that you would treat me right
But you were just a waste of time (waste of time)” |

It's a whole song and one of my favourites by a band called Little Comets, it's well worth a listen if you like indie.
Feel good for a minute then implode
As the lack of an aphorism sticks in your throat with ire
Depose your vernacular, argot
It's a question of rust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of everything you've ever been told.
Minimum culture, minimal wage
I'm an onion peel my layers back
Minimum silence, minimal change
I'm an honest man, depths my tears lack
And if there's love, let me know
Because I want you to come and put the beauty back
Blurred vision and the hobble of thick prose
Why empower misogyny while violence towards women grows?
But this filth stands on a quicker sand
Next to cold hard fear and the deeds of man
The abuse of body image as a form of control
And the typical portrayal of the feminine role
I have never been more appalled.
Pick me up with rhythms and waveform
That can symbolise a culture lost
Sing about the future like you mean to
I'm never going to count costs
Question the agenda of an industry
That only can objectify
You write about a non-existent blurred line
But not about abortion rights |

One of my favourite songs of all time. Sheriff Fatman - Carter: The Unstoppable Sex Machine.
Now Sheriff Fatman started out in business
As a granny farmer
He was infamous for fifteen minutes
And he appeared on Panorama
Then he somehow got himself on board
The Starship Enterprise Allowance Scheme
With a Prince of Wales award
For pushing Valium and amphetamines
Moving up on second base
Behind Nicholas Van Wotsisface
At six foot six and a hundred tons
The undisputed king of the slums
With more aliases than Klaus Barbie
The master butcher of Leigh-on-Sea
Just about to take the stage
The one and only
Hold the front page! |

Belinda Carlisle - Summer rain
“Oh my love, it's you that I dream of
Oh my love, since that day
Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the Summer rain“ |

And I'll never go home again
(Place the call, feel it start)
Favourite friend
(And nothing's wrong, when nothing's true)
I live in a hologram with you
We're all the things that we do for fun
(And I'll breathe, and it goes)
Play along
(Make-believe it's hyper real)
But I live in a hologram with you
Lorde - Buzzcut season
Love especially the nothing’s wrong when nothing’s true line … holy shit Lorde speaking truths |

“Cut stitched buggered bewitched”
And is it from evil ..”those boots ARNT made for walking” |

"Far too many Stevie Nicks lyrics that I identify with, so I'll go with the late, great Tom Petty
"Please love me, I'm not so bad.
And I love you so".
Gets me every time  "

When I find out all the reasons
Maybe I'll find another way
Find another day
With all the changing seasons of my life
Maybe I'll get it right next time
.
.
Well I jumped into the river
Too many times to make it home
I'm out here on my own, an drifting all alone
If it doesn't show give it time
To read between the lines
.
.
The song is Estranged by Guns n Roses. The whole song is aces but these lines in particular have always stuck with me. |

I am just a vagabond, a drifter on the run. And eloquent profanity just rolls right off my tounge.
Roll um easy by Little feat. It's a lyrically beautiful song and one of my favourites  |

unknown brain perfect 10
We're told to have a certain face
A certain weight, be flawless
We aren't pixels on a screen
No we're human, we breathe
Every single thing we see curated
It's overrated
These expectations, they keep weighing me down
My heart is begging me to get the hell out, of my head
I'm gonna live inside the upside down
For a minute and pretend
Honey I'm a perfect ten
Woahhh
Honey I'm a perfect ten
Woahhhh
And if I say it enough
It gets ingrained in my head
And I start to think
Honey I'm a perfect Ten
Honey I'm a perfect ten |

Has to be Hurt, but the cover sung by JC as he was dieing and you can hear the pain in his voice, a great cover, great lyrics.
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt |

The song is one and a million by Guns n Roses and this particular section encompasses how I felt about myself at a point in life. Whether you like the band or not it's impossible not to recognize Axl and Izzy Straddlin were/are lyrically gifted.
Well some say I'm lazy
And others say that's just me
Some say I'm crazy
I guess I'll always be
But it's been such a long time
Since I knew right from wrong
It's all the means to and end and
I keep it moving along |

Say hello, wave goodbye
What about me, well
I'll find someone
That's not going cheap
In the sales
A nice little housewife
Who'll give me a steady life
And won't keep going off the rails |

Just how many canoptic jars could one fill with the gizzards
Of pied priests with tweezers and golden scissors?
Cartouchebag Osiris
Go get papyrus
The valley of the kings is filled with sand
Pharaoh got issues of the nightmarish kind
Interpreter of dreams who looks him right in the eye
Plagues and hardship, treasure and blood
No gates can hold back the sandy flood |

Just like in the movies
It starts to rain and we
We're the broken beauties
Blindfolded minds collide and we fall
When the curtain drops
Our touch is just a touch
Not like in the movies
Our story's after the end

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
I'll assume we all know where these lyrics come from |

Drones since the dawn of time
Compelled to live your sheltered lives
Not once has anyone ever seen
Such a rise in pure hypocrisy
I'll instigate I'll free your mind
I'll show you what ive known all this time
God hates us all, god hates us all
Homicide-suicide
Hate heals you should try it sometime
Strive for peace with acts of war
The beauty of death we all adore
I have no faith distracting me
I know why your prayers will never be answered
God hates us all, God hates us all
Pessimist, terrorist targeting the next mark
Global chaos feeding on hysteria
Cut throat, slit your wrist, shoot you in the back fair game
Drig abuse, self abuse searching for the next high
Sounds a lot like hell is spreading all the time
I'm waiting for the day the whole world fucking dies
I never said I wanted to be gods disciple, I'll never be the one to blindly follow
Man made virus infecting the world
Self destruct human time bomb
What if there is no god would you think the fucking same
Wasting your life in a leap of blind faith
Wake the fuck up can't ignore what I say
I got my own philosophy
I hate everyone equally
You cant turn that out of me
No segregation-seperation
Just me in my world of enemies
I reject this fucking race
I despise this fucking place.
Dark, yes, but definitely the world as it is...... |

Oh I forgot...
I sit by the harbour.
The see calls to me.
I hide in the water but I need to breathe.
You are an ocean wave my love, crashing at the bow.
I am a galley slive my love.
If only I could find out the way.
To sail you.
Maybe, I'll just stow away.
I've been run aground.
So sad for a sailor.
I felt safe and sound, but needed the danger.
You are an ocen wave my love.
Crashing at the bow etc
All about Eve and the song Marthas Harbour.
Makes me well up and often shed a tear when played.
Truly beautiful.

When I see your smile
Tears run down my face
I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold
And it breaks through my soul and I know
I'll find deep inside me
I can be the one
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Good times for a change
see, the luck I've had
can make a good man
turn bad
So please please please
let me, let me, let me
let me get what I want
this time
Haven't had a dream in a long time
see, the life I've had
can make a good man bad
So for once in my life
let me get what I want
Lord knows it would be the first time
Lord knows it would be the first time
Please please please let me - Morrisey

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl year after year
Running over the same old ground, what have we found?
The same old fears, wish you were here

I always say it's from Woman's Work by Kate Bush.
"I should be hoping but I can't stop thinking."
9 words that perfectly captures the human condition. It comes after the line "I should be crying but I just can't let it show" and the song is about a man, sat in the waiting area, trying to be strong for his wife during a troubled labour. But he's utterly impotent and useless now, he's alone with his thoughts and the knowledge of what could go wrong.
I also like "Knees bent, arms stretched RAH! RAH! RAH!" from thecHokey Cokey. |

I LOVE lyrics … they are my thing
Just one look and I can barely breathe I feel your golden eyes burning right through me.
——————-
Isn’t it lovely all alone, heart made of glass my mind of stone, tear me to pieces, skin and bone, hello welcome home.
——————
And even though you’ve got bad tattoos and smell like booze I’m into you.
——————-
Where do we go? Oh when our prayers are answered. Where do we go? Oh when our prayers are answered but the answer is no.
——————
Don't tell me to smile when it's wrong
Cause the cracks in your porcelain are revealing
Don't tell me to fight for my rights
When you ostracize me for not conforming to your ideologies
Don't tell me to always be true
When you kick and stomp and slit the throats to get through
Don't tell me because, i don't care
About the colour that you package it
I know sometimes life is not fair
———————-
You're fighting me off like a firefighter
So tell me why you still get burned
You say you're not, but you're still a liar
'Cause I'm the one that you run to first
Every time, yeah
Why do you try to deny it
When you show up every night
And tell me that you want me but it's complicated
So complicated
When it hurts but it hurts so good
Do you take it?
Do you break it off?
When it hurts but it hurts so good
—————
I've been tryna find your heart
But you keep burning all the bridges to where you are
I've been looking for a spark
But you just disappear and leave me here in the dark
Will it really make a difference
If nobody's gonna listen?
How could you be close to me
Physically, but feel so distant?
Feels like you drew a long line
And now I'm on the wrong side
And if we don't believe the same
Dream the same
You leave me on the outside
Behind your walls
You build them up so tall
You don't even hear me calling
Brick by brick, I try to tear them down
But you just stand your ground
You don't even hear the sound of
All my cannons raging
Behind your walls
Walls
Walls
Behind your walls

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells |

A sickened mind and spirit
The mirror tells me lies
Could I mistake myself for someone
Who lives behind my eyes?
Will he escape my soul?
Or will he live in me?
Is he tryin' to get out or tryin' to enter me?
Diary of a madman - Ozzy Osbourne
These lyrics have always struck me because he must have been dealing with some heavy stuff at the time. |

About all of the things that I long to believe
About love, the truth, what you mean to me
And the truth is
Baby you're all that I need
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
Oh I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses..
For someone who will always have my x |

Mine would be from a local rapper from my area, I just relate to every word in the song
Parv - white flags
I’m gunna fight even though I am scared
If it all turns to ashes and we’re going backwards
I will know I did my best to be there
Though we’re losing the battle with war
We’re still standing
We won’t raise the white flags
I won’t quit, no we won’t quit
When they want us to raise our white flags I won’t quit, no we won’t quit
That’s just the chorus, you can’t get the lyrics online and I ain’t got it in me to type them all out lol

To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say
No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around
He's an outlaw loose and running, came the whisper from each lip
And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red
Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead
He was vicious and a killer though a youth of 24
And the notches on his pistol numbered one and 19 more
One and 19 more
Now the stranger started talking, made it plain to folks around
Was an Arizona ranger, wouldn't be too long in town
He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red
After Texas Red
Wasn't long before the story was relayed to Texas Red
But the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dead
20 men had tried to take him, 20 men had made a slip
21 would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
The morning passed so quickly, it was time for them to meet
It was 20 past 11 when they walked out in the street
Folks were watching from the windows, everybody held their breath
They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death
About to meet his death
There was 40 feet between them when they stopped to make their play
And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today
Texas Red had not cleared leather 'fore a bullet fairly ripped
And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered round
There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground
Oh, he might have went on living but he made one fatal slip
When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
Big iron, big iron
When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
The song is big iron by Marty Robbins. This song will forever remind me of car journeys with my dad in a blue Ford escort and a cassette with a multitude of songs recorded on it but this is one I love to this day. |

Nightwish - Shoemaker. Their tribute to planetary scientist Eugene Shoemaker. An amazing song and tribute
Now you've been tucked in
For eternal earthrise and wonder
A sailor through aeons
Story unheard, howling at the earth
Yours is the whole graveyard of heavens
A ship that sailed home
You're with us, face of the night
Singing through the morn for mankind
I want to sing with you
You're home now, outward urge
As with every dreaming creature
We want to come with you
Here I came to be
Your reach into the far
On the stellar sea
Cut in little stars
We all wait the due night
Beauty which is worth the hurting
We're coming to join you
Hope revived for a lifetime
To rekindle the human spark
In love with the night
Now you've been tucked in
For eternal earthrise and wonder
A sailor through aeons
Story unheard, howling at the earth
Yours is the whole starmap of heavens
Of myriad endings
Here I came to be
Your reach into the far
On the stellar sea
Cut in little stars
We came here to be
A waypoint to the far
On the stellar sea
Cut into little-
Stars calling with the sound
Of a dreamlike dulcimer
We came here to stay
With your guiding light
And when he shall die
Take him and cut him out in little stars
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with the night
And pay no worship to the garish sun
Laudato
Laudato
Laudato si
Laudato
Laudato
Laudato si
Ad astra
Ad astra
Ad astra
Ad astra
Ad astra
Laudato si |

If you've never treated yourself to sleeping sun by Nightwish, you should. Just make sure it's Tarja turunen doing the singing.
The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest
For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my night
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime
I wish for this night-time
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I'd sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go
Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet's play
Until there's nothing left to say
I wish for this night-time
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
I wish for this night-time
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you |

Placebo- Every me every you
Pretty much says it all for me.
Sucker love is heaven sent
You pucker up, our passion's spent
My heart's a tart, your body's rent
My body's broken, yours is bent
Carve your name into my arm
Instead of stressed, I lie here charmed
'Cause there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Sucker love, a box I choose
No other box I choose to use
Another love I would abuse
No circumstances could excuse
In the shape of things to come
Too much poison come undone
Sucker love is known to swing
Prone to cling and waste these things
Pucker up for heaven's sake
There's never been so much at stake
I serve my head up on a plate
It's only comfort, calling late
Like the naked leads the blind
I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind
Sucker love I always find
Someone to bruise and leave behind
All alone in space and time
There's nothing here but what here's mine
Something borrowed, something blue
Every me and every you

In your car, the radio up
We keep trying to talk about us
Slow motion, I'm watching our love
I'll be your quiet afternoon crush
Be your violent overnight rush
Make you crazy over my touch
But it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today... Aha-ah...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

In my head, I play a supercut of us
All the magic we gave off
All the love we had and lost
And in my head
The visions never stop
These ribbons wrap me up
But when I reach for you, there's just a supercut
In your car, the radio up
In your car, the radio up
We keep tryin' to talk about us
I'm someone, you may be my love
I'll be your quiet afternoon crush
Be your violent overnight rush
Make you crazy over my touch
But it's just a supercut of us

Love him or loathe him but I think MJ’s song about change; Man in the Mirror is fantastic. Lyrics are on point.
But my song that I’d take to space/remote island will always be Ain’t Nobody, Chaka Khan and Rufus. |

I'm takin' all you down with me
Explosives duct taped to my spine
Nothing's gonna change my mind
I won't listen to anyone's last words
There's nothing left for you to say
Soon you'll be dead anyway
Well, no one here is getting out alive
This time I've really lost my mind and I don't care
So close your eyes
And kiss yourself goodbye
And think about the times you spent and what they've meant
To me it's nothing |

Our thing progresses
I call and you come through
Blow all my friendships
To sit in hell with you
But we're the greatest
They'll hang us in the Louvre
Down the back, but who cares—still the Louvre
Okay I know that you are not my type
(Still I fall)
I'm just the sucker who let you fill her mind
(But what about love?)
Nothing wrong with it
Supernatural
Just move in close to me, closer, you'll feel it coasting

So one track that pretty much reads my life up until the age of 30... and not my 'type of music' but the whole track really could be written about me. Then 'men2' is very close to home past the age of 30.
Bugsy malone - MEN
'So I jump in the S-Line driving fast
Hope I don't bump in to my step-dad
'Cause they say mental abuse is worse than physical abuse
And I wanna get him back
But I don't wanna do another custodial sentence
In a four-by-four pad'

Not sure if it's my favourite but it's what resonates with me the most. Every Single Night by Fiona Apple
Every single night,
I endure the flight,
Of little wings of white-flamed,
Butterflies in my brain,
These ideas of mine,
Percolate the mind,
Trickle down the spine,
Swarm the belly, swelling to a blaze,
That's where the pain comes in,
Like a second skeleton,
Trying to fit beneath the skin,
I can't fit the feelings in,
Every single night's alight with my brain. |

Nanci Griffith - Late night Grande Hotel, just because it describes me far too well at times
And maybe you were thinking that you thought you knew me well
But no one ever knows the heart of anyone else
I feel like Garbo in this late night grande hotel
Cos living alone is all ive ever done well |

We’re just two lost souls living 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. |

Hold on, darling
This body is yours, this body is yours and mine
Hold on my darling
This mess was yours, now your mess is mine
Your mess is mine
Your mess is mine
Bring me to your house and tell me
Sorry for the mess, "Hey I don't mind"
You're talking in your sleep, out of time
Well you still make sense to me, your mess is mine
Your mess is mine
This body is yours and this body is mine
Your mess is mine
Your mess is mine

I sell the things you need to be
I'm the smiling face on your T.V.
I'm the cult of personality
I exploit you still you love me
I tell you one and one makes three
I'm the cult of personality

"She's imperfect but she tries
She is good but she lies
She is hard on herself
She is broken and won't ask for help
She is messy but she's kind
She is lonely most of the time
She is all of this mixed up
And baked in a beautiful pie"

Well I've been on fire, dreaming of you
Tell me you don't
It feels like you do
Opening up can open some wounds
How does it start?
And when does it end?
Only been here for a moment, but I know I want you
Darling, I do
I'm with you
Vance Joy - I’m with you |
