Which song do you believe has the best lyrics ever in English?

For me it has to be the song by Daniel Beddingfield "if you're not the one"

Beat this.

Christ, any song by Dylan or Joni Mitchell has better lyrics than a song by Daniel Bedingfield, IMO.

Kenny Rogers

You've got to know when to hold 'em

Know when to fold 'em

Know when to walk away

And know when to run

You never count your money

When you're sittin' at the table

There'll be time enough for countin'

When the dealin's done

Before my time but a good song

Actually, I've always like this one:

You're The Voice - John Farnham

We have the chance, to turn the pages over

We can write what we want to write

We gotta make ends meet, before we get much older

We're all someone's daughter

We're all someone's son

How long can we look at each other

Down the barrel of a gun?

You're the voice, try and understand it

Make a noise and make it clear

Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo

We're not gonna sit in silence

We're not gonna live with fear

Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo

Some of the lyrics of Time by Pink Floyd Very true!

I look back between 20 - 30 and wander where those 10 years went...

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.

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

In all seriousness though, there are many great lyrics. If I have to pick one set though, it's the following.....

When you're talkin' to yourself

And nobody's home

You can fool yourself

You came in this world alone

(Alone)

So nobody ever told you baby

How it was gonna be

So what'll happen to you baby

Guess we'll have to wait and see

One, two

Old at heart but I'm only twenty eight

And I'm much too young

To let love break my heart

Young at heart but it's getting much too late

To find ourselves so far apart

I don't know how you're s'posed to find me lately

An what more could you ask from me

How could you say that I never needed you

When you took everything

Said you took everything from me

Young at heart an it gets so hard to wait

When no one I know can seem to help me now

Old at heart but I musn't hesitate

If I'm to find my own way out

Still talkin' to myself

And nobody's home

(Alone)

So nobody ever told us baby

How it was gonna be

So what'll happen to us baby

Guess we'll have to wait and see

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

An now that you've been broken down

Got your head out of the clouds

You're back down on the ground

And you don't talk so loud

An you don't walk so proud

Any more, and what for

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

'Cause I see the storm getting closer

And the waves they get so high

Seems everything we've ever known's here

Why must it drift away and die

I'll never find anyone to replace you

Guess I'll have to make it through, this time - oh this time

Without you

I knew the storm was getting closer

And all my friends said I was high

But everything we've ever known's here

I never wanted it to die

And you'll get there again and again

Close your eyes and imagine my body undressed

Take your time cuz we've got all night

You on the rise as you're touchin my thighs and

Let me know what you like

If you like I'll go

Down da down down down da down down

I'll hold you in my hand and baby

Your smooth and shiny

Feels so good against my lips sugar

I want you so bad I can

Taste your love right now baby

Day and night

Night and day

All i've got to say is

If I was your girl

Oh the things I'd do to you

I'd make you call out my name

I'd ask who it belongs to

The things I'd do to you

But I'm not

And I live in it.

It's twenty-nine and twelve months old.

It's changed a lot since it was new.

It's done stuff it wasn't built to do.

I often try to fill it up with wine.

And the weirdest thing about it is

I spend so much time hating it

But it never says a bad word about me.

This is my body and it's fine.

It's where I spend the vast majority of my time.

It's not perfect, but it's mine

Skinny Living - No Messiah

I hear your cry for help

But you gotta save yourself

This is the only thing that I can't do for you

If I could draw out your pain

I'd colour you in again

You know I'm here but there is nothing I can do

You don't need me, no prayer, no Messiah

To save you

Not the best lyrics... But damn good and uplifting.

"And you can say what is, or fight for it

Close your mind and take a risk

You can say "It's mine" and clench your fist

Or see each sunrise as a gift

We're gonna get it, get it together right now

Gonna get it, get it together somehow

Gonna get it, get it together and flower

Whoa

We're gonna get it, get it together I know

Gonna get it, get it together and flow

Gonna get it, get it together and go

Up and up and up "

Easy

I first met him in the classroom

Back in 1963

We seemed to hit it off pretty good

We were mates mick and me

He wasn't such a big kid

Even back then at the start

And he wasn't all that clever either

But Jesus he could fart

I first found that out in class one day

When things were going pretty slow

And just to keep us all amused

Mick let this fucking ripper go

Well, you should have been there

Look, I'd describe it if I could

But I just turned around and I said

"Hey Mick your fucking good!"

And at the eng of school Grand Final

On the rugby field that time

We were getting beaten

They were 12 and we were 9

And play was 3 yards from our goal-line

When the referee called a scrum

And mick said, "Don't worry fellas

We've as good as got it won"

So we just locked ourselves down in the scrum

And we held eachothers nose

And mick our little hooker

He let this fucking ripper go

Well, it stung their nose

And it burnt their eyes

And it even scorched the grass

And I twigged right then and there

He had a double jointed arse

Mick, me mate the master farter

put the art back into farting

With his custom tailored farts

Mick, me mate the master farter

Broke new ground in breaking wind

With his double jointed arse

And it was just a couple of years later

We both went to seee Kamaahl

It was a really poshy sort of show

In this great big bloody hall

All the blokes were dressed like penguins

Well you should have seen the sorts

And Kamaahl himself wore a sheilas dress

Like a bloody black boy george

We were all locked in there like sardines

For the show to get underway

But the tuber player didn't log

He'd booked off crook that day

And Kamaahl said, "Without a tuber player I cannot commence the show"

So old mick jumps up says

"Sambo mate, I'll have a fucking go"

Well, from then on in I honestly thought

That the whole show would be ruined

But he just winked at me and picked that tuber up

Just like he knew what he was doing

Then the maestro tapped his little stick

To tell the band to start

And mick just shut his eyes and cocked

His leg

And then began to fart

Well you could have heard a pin drop

That night there in the hall

And it's hard to say who sounded best

Mick farting or Kamaahl

Then the audience just went apeshit

They cheered and clapped and stood

And Kamaahl smiled as if to say

Hey Mick, your fucking good

Mick me mate the master farter

Put the art back into farting

With his custom tailored farts

Mick me mate the master farter

With his True-pitch perfect, calibrated

Double jointed arse

Well, good news travels fast it seems

And it wasn't very long

Before Mick got this midnight phonecall

From Ben Lexan and Alan Bond

They said, "Mick we've got this specialist job

And we're prepared to pay ya'

Mick old son would you consider farting for Australia?"

We'll just prop you on our brand new yatch

When theres no sea-breeze blowing

And get Mick the master farter to start

Her and keep the bastard going

So Mick went into training

On sausage rolls and pies

And Vegemite and Fosters beer

And a schollarship from Heinz

The world had never seen before

A yatch so finely groomed

Or a crew so fit and young and strong

Or an arse so finely tuned

The Yanks weren't even in the race

Not even in the same class

What with Ben Lexan and his secret keel

And Micks fuel injeted arse

Well he come back a bloody hero didn't he

The old Australian boy

And government comissioned this bloke

To do a big statue of his Koy

And I can still see Mick standing there

When they confirmed his Knighthood

And Bob Hawke pinning it on saying

"Hey mick... your fucking good!"

Mick me mate the master farter

put the class back into farting

with his designer-lable farts

Mick me mate the master farted

with his True-pitch perfect calibrated

turbo thrusted, fuel injected, W.I.N.G.S.proteced, double jointed arse.

This bed is on fire with passionate love

The neighbors complain about the noises above

But she only comes when she's on top

The therapist said not to see you no more

She said you're like a disease without any cure

She said I'm so obsessed that I'm becoming a bore, oh no

Ah you think you're so pretty

Caught your hand inside the till

Slammed your fingers in the door

Fought with kitchen knives and skewers

Dressed me up in women's clothes

Messed around with gender roles

Line my eyes and call me pretty

Moved out of the house so you moved next door

I locked you out you cut a hole in the wall

I found you sleeping next to me I thought I was alone

You're driving me crazy when are you coming home

Late 80’s, and the charts are rammed full of stock, aitken & Waterman hit factory sound-a-like pop...and not much else had a chance.

Then Pete Waterman realised they were eligible for inclusion in the indie charts as well, much to the disgust of the bands on the Indie scene.

PWL’s poster boy was Rick Astley and Miles Hunt The Wonder Stuff) let him have it with both barrels of his rather excellent and acerbic use of the English language (which he’s since apologised for)...although the lyrics are still hilarious and the tune brilliantly catchy as usual

Oh Astley in the noose

He hasn't got a use

But he's trying

Trying to be someone

Trying to take like a man if you can

Sing an old song

Oh get back to the rope

Wash your mouth out with soap

And if you must sing

Sing an oldie

But sing it quickly

Oh spare me

Chorus:

Don't beg don't beg

I wouldn't kill you even if you paid me

Don't beg don't beg

I wouldn't kill you even if you paid me

Oh Astley it's the truth

My patience at it's roof

It's at it's ceiling

It's just this feeling

That given half a choice

A life without your voice seems more appealing

Chorus:

But don't take this to heart

It's all to do with art and entertainment

I sing this lament

But from you and from peers

It's abuse to both me ears

I rest my case here

Chorus: x2

Did anybody like it

Do you think it might offend him

Who cares

Twas the first test of the Ashes Series 1993.

Australia had only managed 289 and we

felt all was going to plan

that first innings at Old Trafford.

Then Merv Hughes and his handlebar moustache

dismissed poor Athers.

I took the crease to great applause

and focussed on me dinner.

I knew that I had little cause

to fear their young leg spinner.

He loosened up his shoulder

and, with no run-up at all,

he rolled his right arm over

and he let go of the ball.

It was jiggery pokery, trickery, jokery,

How did he open me up?

Robbery, muggery, Aussie skull-duggery,

Out for a buggering duck.

What a delivery.

I might as well have been,

holding a concert bassoon.

Jiggery Pokery who was this nobody

making me look a buffoon?

Like a blithering old buffoon.

At first the ball looked straight enough

I had it in me sights,

but such was it's rotation

that it swerved out to the right.

I thought 'Well, that's a leg break.

That's easily defended.'

So I stuck my left leg out

and jammed my bat against it.

But the ball it span obscenely

and out of the rough it jumped,

veered back across my bat and pad

clipping my off stump.

It took a while to hit me,

I momentarily lingered.

But then I saw old Dickie Bird

slowly raise his finger.

It was jiggery pokery, trickery, jokery.

How did he open me up?

Robbery, muggery, Aussie skull-duggery.

Out for a buggering duck.

What a delivery.

I might as well have been

holding a child's balloon.

Jiggery Pokery, who was this nobody

making me look a buffoon?

Like an accident-prone buffoon.

How such a ball could be bowled

I don't know, but if you asked me

if it had been a cheese roll,

it would never have got passed me.

It was jiggery pokery, trickery, jokery.

These are the days of the open hand

They will not be the last

Look around now

These are the days of the beggars and the choosers

This is the year of the hungry man

Whose place is in the past

Hand in hand with ignorance

And legitimate excuses

The rich declare themselves poor

And most of us are not sure

If we have too much

But we'll take our chances

'Cause God's stopped keeping score

I guess somewhere along the way

He must have let us all out to play

Turned his back and all God's children

Crept out the back door

And it's hard to love, there's so much to hate

Hanging on to hope

When there is no hope to speak of

And the wounded skies above say it's much, much too late

Well, maybe we should all be praying for time

These are the days of the empty hand

Oh, you hold on to what you can

And charity is a coat you wear twice a year

This is the year of the guilty man

Your television takes a stand

And you find that what was over there is over here

So you scream from behind your door

Say, "What's mine is mine and not yours"

I may have too much but I'll take my chances

'Cause God's stopped keeping score

And you cling to the things they sold you

Did you cover your eyes when they told you

That he can't come back

'Cause he has no children to come back for

It's hard to love, there's so much to hate

Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of

And the wounded skies above say it's much too late

So maybe we should all be praying for time

Settlewick!

The only girl I've ever loved

Was born with roses in her eyes

But then they buried her alive

One evening in 1945

With just her sister at her side

And only weeks before the guns

All came and rained on everyone

Now she's a little boy in Spain

Playing pianos filled with flames

On empty rings around the sun

I'll sing to say my dream has come

But now we must pack up every piece

Of the life we used to love

Just to keep ourselves

At least enough to carry on

And now we ride the circus wheel

With your dark brother wrapped in white

Says it was good to be alive

But now he rides a comet's flame

And won't be coming back again

The Earth looks better from a star

That's right above from where you are

He didn't mean to make you cry

With sparks that ring and bullets fly

On empty rings around your heart

The world just screams and falls apart

But now we must pack up every piece

Of the life we used to love

Just to keep ourselves

At least enough to carry on

And here's where your mother sleeps

And here is the room where your brothers were born

Indentations in the sheets

Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore

And it's so sad to see the world agree

That they'd rather see their faces filled with flies

All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes

"Beatles. THE END.

And in the end, the love you take,

Is equal to the love you make."

Mr. McCartney was very astute with this one. Beautiful and very true.

' They call me the wild rose ..but my name was Eliza Day'

Kylie and Nick cave/s lyrics .. fairly close to perfection I think . Either that or Henry Lee with PJ Harvey comes close ..

"

These are the days of the open hand

They will not be the last

Look around now

These are the days of the beggars and the choosers

This is the year of the hungry man

Whose place is in the past

Hand in hand with ignorance

And legitimate excuses

The rich declare themselves poor

And most of us are not sure

If we have too much

But we'll take our chances

'Cause God's stopped keeping score

I guess somewhere along the way

He must have let us all out to play

Turned his back and all God's children

Crept out the back door

And it's hard to love, there's so much to hate

Hanging on to hope

When there is no hope to speak of

And the wounded skies above say it's much, much too late

Well, maybe we should all be praying for time

These are the days of the empty hand

Oh, you hold on to what you can

And charity is a coat you wear twice a year

This is the year of the guilty man

Your television takes a stand

And you find that what was over there is over here

So you scream from behind your door

Say, "What's mine is mine and not yours"

I may have too much but I'll take my chances

'Cause God's stopped keeping score

And you cling to the things they sold you

Did you cover your eyes when they told you

That he can't come back

'Cause he has no children to come back for

It's hard to love, there's so much to hate

Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of

And the wounded skies above say it's much too late

So maybe we should all be praying for time

I know you didn’t write it, it’s just evocative. I’m a jazz and blues man at heart but something about George just resonated.

I think it was Liam Gallagher that said after George had passed away that he wrote lyrics like a modern day Lennon and the song you quoted is very Lennon-esque.

George owned the piano that Lennon wrote Imagine at maybe he felt the influence.

Sad anorak fact!

I'm a sad anorak. So I know you're thinking of the interview with Liam in the docu George made about his life before he passed. They were great interviews with everyone who was in it and I thought Liam was spot on. George's is a sad story, it's tragic that someone who made so many people happy had such a sad life. But great art comes from conflict. And this song, to me is great art. It's perfect.

"Eminem

My name is. Not his best track, but

when played backwards it actually says his name. I mean to sneak that Easter egg into a track and be so quick and talented on the words is genius.

"

Nothing new that was done in 1991 on the old rave record DJ PC - Inssomniak (I Come Back) If played backwords it says i'm asleep !

John Miles.....

Music was my first love

And it will be my last.

Music of the future

And music of the past.

To live without my music

Would be impossible to do.

In this world of troubles,

My music pulls me through.
