what song has the best lyrics of all time?

Answer 1

imagine by john lennon

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

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 may say that 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 may say that 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

Answer 2

I think "One More Night" by Phil Collins has got to be the best song. He says the phrase "one more night" about sixty times during the song. Runner up is "I Got My Mind Set On You" by George Harrison.

Answer 3

Obviously this is an impossible question. Also obviously, Dylan comes to mind. "Tangled Up in Blue" might be a candidate. No matter how many times I listen to it, it is still surprising and very emotional.

Here's just two verses:

She was workin' in a topless place
And I stopped in for a beer,
I just kept lookin' at the side of her face
In the spotlight so clear.
And later on as the crowd thinned out
I's just about to do the same,
She was standing there in back of my chair
Said to me, "Don't I know your name?"
I muttered somethin' underneath my breath,
She studied the lines on my face.
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe,
Tangled up in blue.

She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe
"I thought you'd never say hello," she said
"You look like the silent type."
Then she opened up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
From the thirteenth century.
And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burnin' coal
Pourin' off of every page
Like it was written in my soul from me to you,
Tangled up in blue.

Answer 10

Coma

Artist/Band - Guns N' Roses
Album - Use Your Illusion I
Song - Coma

Hey you caught me in a coma,
And I don't think I wanna,
Ever come back to this... world again,
Kinda like it in a coma,
'Cause no one's ever gonna,
Oh, make me come back to this... world again,

Now I feel as if I'm floating away,
I can't feel all the pressure and I like it this way,
But my body's calling, my body's calling,
Won't you come back to this... world again?,
Suspended deep in a sea of black
I've got the light at the end, I've got the bones on the mast
Well I've gone sailing, I've gone sailing,
I could leave so easily,
While friends are calling back to me,
I said they're, they're leaving it all up to me,
When all I needed was clarity,
And someone to tell me,
What the **** is going on?... goddamn it,

Slipping farther an farther away,
It's a miracle how long we can stay,
In a world our minds created,
In a world that's full of ****,

Help me,
Help me,
Help me,
Help me,
Bastard,

Please... understand me,
I'm climbing through the wreackage,
Of all my twisted dreams,
But this cheap investigation just can't stifle all my screams,
And I'm waiting at the crossroads, waiting for you,
Waiting for you, Where are you?,

No one's gonna bother me anymore,
No one's gonna mess with my head no more,
I can't understand what all the fighting's for,
But it's so nice here down off the shore,
I wish you could see this 'cause there's nothing to see,
It's peaceful here and it's fine with me,
Not like the world where I used to live,
I never really wanted to live,

Zap him again,

Zap the son of a ***** again,

(Guitar Solo)

You live your life like it's a coma,
So won't you tell me why we'd wanna,
With all the reasons you give it's, it's kinda hard to believe,
But who am I to tell you that I've seen any reason why you should stay,
Maybe we'd be better off without you anyway,

You got a one way ticket on your last chance ride,
Gotta one way ticket to your suicide,
Gotta one way ticket and there's no way out alive,

And all this crass communication that has left you in the cold,
Isn't much for consolation when you feel so weak and old,
But is home is where the heart is then there's stories to be told,
No you don't need a doctor, no one else can heal your soul,

Got your mind in submission, got your life on the line,
But nobody pulled the trigger, they just stepped aside,
They be down by the water while you watch 'em waving goodbye,

They be calling in the morning, they be hanging on the phone
They be waiting for an answer when you know nobody's home,
And when the bell's stopped ringing, it was nobody's fault but your own,

There were always ample warnings, there were always subtle signs,
And you would have seen it coming but we gave you too much time
And when you said that no one's listening, Why'd your best friend drop a dime?,
Sometimes we get so tired of waiting for a way to spend our time,
And it's so easy to be social, it's so easy to be cool,
Yeah, it's easy to be hungry when you ain't got **** to lose,
And I wish that I could help you with what you hope to find,
But I'm still out here waiting, watching re-runs of my life,
When you reach the point of breaking know it's gonna take some time,
To heal the broken memories that another man would need just to survive,
