Hey Greg, agreed on Don Henley. "End of the Innocence" and "Building the Perfect Beast" were my favorites of his.

On the Beast album I really enjoy the lyrics to "Month of Sundays" as it blends to the intro of "Sunset Grill".

Yeah, I love BUILDING THE PERFECT BEAST AS WELL. Month of Sundays is a masterpiece. Also, love the chorus:

I was either standing in your shadow or blocking your light
Though I kept on trying I could not make it right
For you girl, there's just not enough love in the world

I'm a big Ray Davies fan from way back also

My bank went broke and my well ran dry
It was almost enough to contemplate suicide
I turned on my gas but then I soon realized
I hadn't settled my bill and they cut off my supply

Ray was one of the only rockers who had a lot of great humor and great emotion!

That's called flatulence, Danny. Probably incomplete digestion or an excess of legumes in your diet or quite possibly, an Irishman in your ancesTREE. He'll fall out and swagger home as soon the free drinks run out.

I think it has more to do with the modern diet and the male digestive tract passin' thru the 50th birthday mark. That, and swallowing air when you eat or drink.

There's so many lines and so little time!

One that I just listened to again said:

"I'm not sure what I'm sayin', ... but I'm sure I'll want her to BELIEVE me!"

That would be a long, long list for me, but these lines grabbed my attention

'I've been singing for my rent and singing for my supper,

I'm above the below, and below the upper' Jody Messina

'There's flies in the kitchen,
I can here 'em they're a buzzin'
And I ain't done nothin'
since I woke up today' J. Prine

Hard to believe the same cat who wrote "wings" also penned "I like Peanut Butter".

That's a great line. James Taylor is a genius. Which song is that? I'm a huge fan but don't know that one. Here's a verse by him that I love. I believe the song title is MY TRAVELIN'STAR

My daddy used to ride the rails (so they say, so they say)
He was soft as smoke and as tough as nails (box car Jones, old walkin' man)
Comin' back home was like goin' to jail
Sheets and the blankets, babies and all
So he never did come back home, never that I recall

Beautiful writing!! I particularly love the second line

Just trying to bump it back to the top for more input. I enjoy seeing what people like. Here's a great verse by Sting.

Another Winter comes, his icy fingers creep
Into these bones of mine, some memories never sleep

GHOST STORY is a beautifully written lyric. If you haven't heard it, you should check it out. Take care. Greg

Yeah, I loved his lyrics from the song below. I put the first few lines of the song in but that whole song had thoughtful lyrics IMHO.

THE POLICE
"Synchronicity II"

Another suburban family morning.
Grandmother screaming at the wall.
We have to shout above the din of our Rice Crispies
We can't hear anything at all.

He earned his love through discipline
A thundering, velvet hand
His gentle means of sculpting souls
Took me years to understand.

I agree Sting has some very good lyrics.

One that sticks out in my mind is Bowie's Rebel Rebel;
The original song said You want more and you want it fast
However when live he often substituted You want more than you're wanted for

The latter fits the song better and rhymes.

Another Sting line -
There were rooms of forgiveness
In the house that we share
But the space has been emptied
Of whatever was there
There were cupboards of patience
There were shelfloads of care
But whoever came calling
Found nobody there

-Consider Me Gone
