I’m the type of person who listens to music more for the words than for the music. I think song writers are so talented and some of the most entertaining lines of the written word can be found in songs. Over the years I have kept track of lyrics that I love and have caught my attention. Here are some of my favorite.
• “I feel ugly, but I know I still turn you on.” -Matchbox 20
• “Your smile could change our movie and the world.” -BareNakedLadies
• “Sometimes I get so weird, I even freak myself out.” -Avril
• “You’ve got to get up every morning with a smile on your face and show the word all the love in your heart.” -Carol King
Every time I hear these lines and so many others, I instantly smile. That whats so great about lyrics, they can remind you of so many things and can relate so well to you.
What are your favorite lyrics?

So… I love lyrics as well.. but as soon as you posted the ones you like all the words to songs melted out of my head! But now I think I may have figured out a couple of ones I love!
“We are the angry mob, we like who we like, we hate who we hate.. but oh we are easily swayed.” - Kaiser Chiefs (cracks me up everytime)
“Love, on the rocks, with no ice” -The Darkness (also cracks me up every single time)
“When I kiss your lips I want to sink down to the bottom of the sea” -Cake
“The more you try to shave the cat, the more that thing will bite and scratch” - Cake
Oh yes and I love the matchbox twenty one you already put up!
So, I totally totally love two of the three songs you put up and know the lyrics. The Avril one was the only one I didn’t know of beforehand.
Here are a few more favorites:
“I want to hold your hand but you’d rather hold your grudge.” –Relient K
“But most of all, I hate my ex-girlfriend’s new guy
Wouldn’t mind if someone huge fell on his head and he died
Like a bus, or a truck, or a meteorite
A hippopotamus, a rhinoceros or even a pig if it was falling fast enough from a great height- Ooo.” -Tyrone Wells
“If the sticky wheel’s always gettin’ the grease, I’m totally devoted to disturbin’ the peace.” From A Goofy Movie
“I am the center of attention in the walls inside my head.” -Guster
“We should get jerseys ’cause we’d make a good team - but yours would be better than mine ’cause you’re out of my league.” - Relient K
Cake has the best lyrics on every song they’ve ever written - hands down - too many to count. Also, the new Wedding Singer musical music rocks!
