    Best Written Lyrics of the past 50 Years (premium content)




    If you could read my mind love
    What a tale my thoughts could tell
    Just like an old time movie
    About a ghost from a wishing well
    In a castle dark or a fortress strong
    With chains upon my feet
    You know that ghost is me
    And I will never be set free
    As long as I'm a ghost you can see
    If I could read your mind love
    What a tale your thoughts could tell
    Just like a paperback novel
    The kind the drugstore sells
    When you reach the part where the heartaches come
    Come the hero would be me
    Heroes often fail
    And you won't read that book again
    Because the ending's just to hard to take
    I walk away like a movie star
    Who gets burned in a three way script
    Enter number two, a movie queen
    To play the scene of bringing all the good things out in me
    But for now love let's be real
    I never knew I feel this way
    And I've got to say that I just don't get it
    I don't know where we went wrong
    But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
    If you could read my mind love
    What a tale my thoughts could tell
    Just like an old time movie about a ghost from a wishing well
    In a castle dark or a fortress strong
    With chains upon my feet
    The story always ends
    And if you read between the lines
    You'll know that I'm just trying to understand
    The feeling that you left
    I never knew I feel this way
    And I've got to say that I just don't get it
    I don't know where we went wrong
    But the feeling's gone
    And I just can't get it back

    Basically one message here summed up in this coda

    "In other words, if you ain't got time to take a ride with me on my meat rack, then you can just get the hell out of my bread line."

    ohnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first Beatle song,
    'Love me do,' I think it was. From there it didn't take him long.
    Got himself a guitar, used to play every night,
    Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit,

    And everything's all right, don't you know?

    Johnny told his mama, hey, 'Mama, I'm goin' away. I'm gonna hit the big
    time, gonna be a big star someday', Yeah.
    Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eye.
    Johnny said, 'Don't cry, mama, smile and wave good-bye'.

    Don't you know, yeah yeah, Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
    Don't you know, don't you know. Don't you know that you are
    a shooting star, And all the world will love you just as long,
    As long as you are.

    Johnny made a record, Went straight up to number one,
    Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing the song.
    Watching the world go by, surprising it goes so fast.
    Johnny looked around him and said, 'Well, I made the big time at last'.

    Don't you know, don't you know, Don't you know that you are
    a shooting star,
    Don't you know, oh, yeah, Don't you know that you are
    a shooting star, yeah,
    And all the world will love you just as long,
    As long as you are, a shooting star.

    Don't you know that you are a shooting star, Don't you know, yeah,
    Don't you know that you are a shooting star, now,
    And all the world will love you just as long, As long you are you.

    Johnny died one night, died in his bed, Bottle of whiskey,
    sleeping tablets by his head. Johnny's life passed him by like a
    warm summer day, If you listen to the wind you can still hear him play

    Oh oh oh, Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
    Don't you know, yeah, don't you know', Don't you know that
    you are a shooting star,
    Don't you know, yeah,
    Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
    Don't you, don't you,
    don't you, don't you,
    Don't you know, don't you
    know, oh, yeah, you are,
    Yeah, a shooting star, yeah, oh
    oh oh oh oh......
    Don't you, don't you know
    that you are a shooting star,
    Don't you don't you know......

    Gordon Lightfoot is a really interesting choice and it’s approved.

    Considering he had to overcome being Canadian makes him especially remarkable.

    Punk ain't no religious cult
    Punk means thinking for yourself
    You ain't hardcore 'cause you spike your hair
    When a jock still lives inside your head
    Nazi punks
    Nazi punks
    Nazi punks, fuck off!
    Nazi punks
    Nazi punks
    Nazi punks, fuck off!
    If you've come to fight, get outta here
    You ain't no better than the bouncers
    We ain't trying to be police
    When you ape the cops it ain't anarchy
    Nazi punks
    Nazi punks
    Nazi punks, fuck off!
    Nazi punks
    Nazi punks
    Nazi punks, fuck off!
    Ten guys jump one, what a man
    You fight each other, the police state wins
    Stab your backs when you trash our halls
    Trash a bank if you've got real balls
    You still think swastikas look cool
    The real Nazis run your schools
    They're coaches, businessmen and cops
    In a real fourth Reich you'll be the first to go
    Nazi punks
    Nazi punks
    Nazi punks, fuck off!
    Nazi punks
    Nazi punks
    Nazi punks, fuck off!
    You'll be the first to go
    You'll be the first to go
    You'll be the first to go
    Unless you think

    I raise you jayjami. Love the old classics.

    While this song could rest only on its offensive merit - it actually informs the listener about Walt Disney

    Walt the Quasi-Nazi: The Fascist History of Disney is Still Influencing American Life
    https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.pas...of-disney.html

    So fitting it’s in Southern California


    Stukas over Disney. The Dickies

    mickey's on the production line
    i'm a super mouse in time
    everybody's doing the goose step out in anaheim
    mastermouse gonna feel no fear
    mickey's gonna lead us to the new frontier
    everybody wants to be the perfect Mouseketeer

    and there's stukas over disneyland
    stukas over disneyland
    stukas over disneyland
    stukas over Disneyland

    jiminy cricket wrote a victory speech
    with nottsberry farm right in reach
    our liebestraum has been extended to huntington beach
    turn on the gas and you're gonna see
    how to achieve racial harmony
    we need a perfect order that's our genetic destiny

    got an ss ticket i'm feeling fine
    spent five long hours just standing in line
    passed inspection got my ears on straight
    gonna fire up my engines 'fore it gets too late
    i just can't wait


    Took the kids to Disney and this tune played on a loop in my head while queued up for Magic Mtn.

    "America is not so much a nightmare as a non-dream. The American non-dream is precisely a move to wipe the dream out of existence. The dream is a spontaneous happening and therefore dangerous to a control system set up by the non-dreamers." -- William S. Burroughs

    Bob Dylan - It’s all right Ma

    As human gods aim for their mark/Make everything from toy guns that spark/To flesh-coloured Christs that glow in the dark/Easy to see without looking too far/That not much is really sacred

    Another Canadian entry - Ahead by a Century by The Tragically Hip

    Gordon Downie was an amazing lyricist

    “First thing we’d climb a tree and maybe then we’d talk
    Or sit silently and listen to our thoughts
    With illusions of someday casting a golden light
    No dress rehearsal, this is our life”

    I always loved this song and its lyrics...

    On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
    Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
    Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
    My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
    I had to stop for the night.
    There she stood in the doorway;
    I heard the mission bell
    And I was thinking to myself
    'This could be heaven or this could be Hell'
    Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
    There were voices down the corridor,
    I thought I heard them say
    Welcome to the Hotel California
    Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
    Such a lovely face.
    Plenty of room at the Hotel California
    Any time of year (any time of year) you can find it here
    Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
    She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
    How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
    Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
    So I called up the Captain,
    'Please bring me my wine'
    He said, 'we haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine'
    And still those voices are calling from far away,
    Wake you up in the middle of the night
    Just to hear them say"
    Welcome to the Hotel California
    Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
    Such a lovely face.
    They livin' it up at the Hotel California
    What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis
    Mirrors on the ceiling,
    The pink champagne on ice
    And she said, 'we are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
    And in the master's chambers,
    They gathered for the feast
    They stab it with their steely knives,
    But they just can't kill the beast
    Last thing I remember, I was
    Running for the door
    I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
    'Relax' said the night man,
    'We are programmed to receive.
    You can check out any time you like,
    But you can never leave!'

    all hail Hydra

    Great lyrics to be sure but I'll make 2 submissions from the same album no less:



    Probably the most underrated song of all time:

    Always been a fan of the I've Seen All Good People lyrics, but I'll support all Yes lyrics, tho I rarely listen to them.
