This is my third request for GOOD song lyrics. So many people seem interested in BAD lyrics that I am tired of this relentless quest for the ultimate in mediocrity. I do not claim that these are the best song lyrics I have heard, just that they sent physical chills up and down my back the first time I heard them: "The drone of flying engines Is a song so wild and blue, It scrambles time and seasons if it gets through to you." --Joni Mitchell from "Amelia"

I have to nominate the lyrics to The Cars' "Drive" as the best lyrics to appear in recent times. -paul asente "Who's gonna drive you home tonight?"

I agree with you about being tired of the worst lyric discussion. One of my
favorite set of lyrics comes from a Phil Collins song, 'I Don't Care Anymore'.
I can't remember the lyrics off hand but the song is inspired (see MTV video).
Pink Floyd has some very interesting lyrics on "Dark Side of the Moon".
All in all I hope this discussion continues in the positive vein in which it
was started.
