I love those lyrics - Neil Young is simply awesome, so here's some more: woke up this morning with love in mindit was raining outside but my love still shinedkept me warm till my plane touched the sky -------- when the dream came I held my breath with my eyes closedi went insane like a smoke-ring day when the wind blows His lines are so simple, but like his music, perfect.

Members Flat Fifth Fury Posted July 13, 2004 Members Share Posted July 13, 2004 I have a lot of favorite lyrics but the one that first comes to mind is: "It was a wedding ring destined to be found in a cheap hotel lost in a kitchen sink or throw in a wishing well."

Members eddieboston Posted July 28, 2004 Members Share Posted July 28, 2004 Some from Jimmy Buffett songs. Not sure if he wrote all the lyrics: "I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead." "And the wino and I know the pain of back bustin' Like the farmer knows the pain of his pickup truck rustin' Strange situations, wild occupations Livin' my life like a song" "While out on the beach there are two empty chairs That say more than the people who ever sit there From under my lone palm I can look out on the day" "There's damsels in distress out there and we got all this beer. We'l free them from their condos and bring 'em over here." etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dr. Phil Posted September 1, 2004 Members Share Posted September 1, 2004 Grand Funk Railroad 1970Ain't seen a night, things work out right, go by.Things on my mind, and I just don't have the time, and it don't seem right.Ain't seen a day, that I don't hear people say, they know they're gonna' die.This may seem a little bit crazy, but I don't think you should be so lazy.If you think you've heard this before, well, stick around I'm gonna' tell you more.One just like the other, sin's a good man's brother, but is that right?You tell me that I don't, then I say I won't, but then I might.You said this is the way it's supposed to be, but it just don't seem right to me, and that's outta' sight.Some folks need an education, don't give up, or we'll loose the nation.You say we need a revolution? It seems to be the only solution.This was written and recorded when feeling and passion for music was the motivation, rather than money....like today's music.

Members NewSc2 Posted September 2, 2004 Members Share Posted September 2, 2004 Remember when you were young You shone like the sun *mad laugh* Shine on you Crazy Diamond Now there's a look in your eyes like black holes in the sky Shine on you Crazy Diamond you were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom blown on the steel breeze come on you target for far away laughter come on you stranger you legend you martyr and shine! You reached for the secret too soon you cried for the moon Shine on you Crazy Diamond! Threatened by shadows at night And exposed in the light Shine On you crazy diamond! Well you wore out your welcome with random precision rode on the steel breeze- come on you raver you seer of visions come on you painter you piper you prisoner, and shine!
