Doesn't have to be limited to TBK

"Whispered words
pretty lies
like the ones they tell before you die" -obvious

"Don't wanna bother you baby but I'm bleeding through
Are you needing me like I'm needing you
even my shadow leaves me all alone at night
guess I need to start to take my own advice" -gnarls barkley

Every aspect of "Done Did It" off Blakroc.

Lots of Patrick Sweany and Immortal Technique lines.

Hollywood Driveby / Immortal Technique
Jail culture didn't give you that fitted hat,
to memorize a ghost-written sh*t verse and spit it back
I won't let your wack rhymes redefine lyricism
For a whole generation with they fathers in prison
You live inside the image of an era that's gone
Like government officials tryin to justify Vietnam

Also the opening line from Drive by Incubus.
Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much I let the fear
Take the wheel and steer
It's driven me before
And it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal
But lately I'm beginning to find that I
Should be the one behind the wheel

You just got yourself an apple strawberry sea breeze wine cooler.

She left a year ago
With my record collection
Now all I have
Is my own reflection
I reckon, if she moved
Away to the moon
I’d still wanna know
What she said when I left the room

- Dan Auerbach When I left The Room

Well I left your house this morning
About a quarter after nine
Coulda been the Willie Nelson
Coulda been the wine...

- The Tragically Hip Bob Caygeon (bonus points for being an opening lyric!!)

Things I could say to myself
I could never say to anyone else
What Madonna said really helped
She said, boy, you better learn
To expresssssss
Yourseeeeeelllfff

- My Morning Jacket Anytime

This blood red ass don't smell so good...

Lyrics that I have lived by;

Phish - "Can I Live While I'm Young!!"

Dylan - "Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through, Tangled up in blue."

Hendrix - "And all of these emotions of mine keep holding me from giving my life to a rainbow like you. But I'm a yeah, I'm Bold as Love"

TBK - "Let me be your Everlasting Light, I'll hold and never scold, In me you can confide, When no ones by your side, Let me be your Everlasting Light."

It's not so much the lyrics here, but the delivery-

"There’s a lone soldier on the cross, smoke pourin’ out of a boxcar door!
You didn’t know it, you didn’t think it could be done, in the final end he won the wars
After losin’ - every battle."

Artist = Bob Zimmerman (ok fine, Dylan)
Song = Idiot Wind
Album = Blood on the Tracks
Year = 1975

I love this whole album except for that Jack of Hearts song. This is a breakup album, and sadly - that kind of pain usually makes for one amazing album (see Beck's "Sea Change").

Here's another piece of lyrics from "You're A Big Girl Now" also off of Blood on The Tracks.

"A change in the weather is known to be extreme.
But what’s the sense of changing horses in midstream?
I’m going out of my mind, oh, oh
With a pain that stops and starts,
Like a corkscrew to my heart.
Ever since we’ve been apart."

The lyrics are great but again, the delivery is really what makes it special for me.

There are better lyrics out there no doubt. These are not my all time favorite ever. Just some things that came to mind when the question of favorite lyrics was asked. Some contenders, if you will.

"I ain’t sayin’ you treated me unkind. You could have done better but I don’t mind. You just kinda wasted my precious time. But don’t think twice, it’s all right."
-Bob Dylan

"whats left of our soul, we have lost, now the danger lies in, whats left of our hearts!"

Echoes of thunder

"When that sunset fades just giving away,to the lonely chill and glow of the moon,you can see in our hands the promises that stand,Along with all the things we want to proove."

"But we're only kids at twenty four,with nowhere to go, that open road doesn't seem so open anymore,times will change as life moves along,we'll realise we are just two pebbles in a pond.
Those naive dreams will get lost to the street,but not before we've laughed and cried ourselves to sleep,running to the sea and fighting the tide,oh we'll still be kids until where twenty five."

Young Dreams and Younger Lives - lol! sorry i had to!

Leonard Cohen's words and Buckley's delivery:
"Well, I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this: the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah"

another one of my favorites bc the mental picture it paints makes me laugh out loud every time I hear it:
"It's a common fetish for a doting man
to ballerina on the coffee table cock in hand"
from The National- "Karen". hahahahaha. see? every time.

in terms of TBK, my current favorite line is
"Wasted times, Broken dreams, Violent colors so obscene, Is all I see these days"
but that'll change by Friday, I'm sure.

Hate to be a jerk here, but the lyric is "Take a breathe now before you dive"

But I thought it was "die" too until the album came out and I saw the lyrics.

You're a beauty.
You're the best of your breed.
You're a handful.
And I know what you need.
You need training.Gonna bring you to heel.
I'm gonna break you with my will of steel.
Discipline's my middle name.
And no one comes back the same from
Bitch School.

No more sniffling strangers, or running free at night.
You think my bark's bad, honey - wait till you feel my bite.
You got problems.You whine and you beg.When I'm busy,You wanna dance with my leg.
I'm gonna chain you.Make you sleep out of doors.
You're so fetching when you're down on all fours.
And when you hear your master,
You will come a little faster, thanks to
Bitch School.
