Day 12: A song with a great lyric
Arguably one of the greatest love songs of all time. Where to start with the genius lyrics?

"My name is Humpty, pronounced with an 'Umpty,' Yo ladies how I like to funk thee..."
"I like to rhyme, I like my beats funky; I'm spunky, I like my oatmeal lumpy"
"Oh yes, ladies, I'm being sincere; 'cause in a 69 my nose will tickle your rear"

Every word drips poetry to gladden the heart.
I'm still bitter that my wife vetoed this as our wedding song.

"The Humpty Dance" - Digital Underground

Day 12 - Song with great lyrics
It’s Yom Kippur, we are going Midwestern Jew

Day 12: A song with a great lyric

She moved with shameless wonder
The perfect creature rarely seen
Since some liar brought the thunder
When the land was godless and free

Her eyes look sharp and steady
Into the empty parts of me
Still my heart is heavy
With the hate of some other man's beliefs

Hozier - Foreigner's God

Day 12: A song with a great lyric

Left my homie's house paid (word)
Picked up a girl been tryna dig since the 12th grade
It's ironic, I had the brew, she had the chronic
The Lakers beat the Supersonics
Felt on the big fat fanny
Pulled out the jammy and killed the punani
And my jimmy runs deep, so deep
So deep put her butt to sleep

Day 12: A song with a great lyric

I am, at my core, a man of words. And there are so many incredible lyrics out there -- verses, choruses, whole songs that speak to me. So I read the prompt again, and accepted it as a challenge.

"A song with a great lyric." A lyric.
One line.
One evocative line.
Today, this one comes to mind.

It is a shame that Jeff Buckley is only known for two things -- covering one of the greatest songs ever penned, and dying far too young. He was a remarkable talent and lyricists in his own right. Almost any line in this song of regretting the pain he caused is brilliant, but this image is lovely:

"She is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever"


"Lover, You Should've Come Over," Jeff Buckley

Day 11 - Song you’d put on a jukebox in a room full of Litsters
Who’s dancing with me?

Land of a 1,000 dances by Wilson Pickett

You're thinking of the wrong day.

But if I had a jukebox, it sure as hell would be on there.

Looking into their eyes, I see them running too"

Nice choice! I just listened to this one early this morning and considered posting it. This is one of my all-time favourite albums

The Cure - There is no if

This song is so beautiful and it always makes me cry.

”You yawned and I had to say it over
I said, "I love you I said", you didn't say a word
Just held your hands to your shining eyes
And I watched as the tears ran through your fingers
Held your hands to your shining eyes and cried
"If you die", you said, "So do I", you said
But it ends the day you see how it is
There is no always forever, just this, just this”

Day 12: A song with a great lyric

In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains

The Boxer - Simon and Garfunkel

Day 12: A song with a great lyric
At The Hundredth Meridian - The Tragically Hip

If I die of vanity, promise me, promise me
They bury me some place I don't want to be
You'll dig me up and transport me
Unceremoniously away from the swollen city breeze
Garbage bag trees, whispers of disease
Acts of enormity
And lower me slowly, and sadly, and properly
Get Ry Cooder to sing my eulogy

Day 12: A song with a great lyric
I dreamt that I was dreaming...

Day 12: A Song With A Great Lyric

I just like the idea of being a rainy day person (as opposed to a fair weather friend?), and of having one as a friend.

Day 13: A song for the scene where they hold hands for the first time
In whatever romcom I ever make this will be the song for that moment
