in your opinion what is your favs best lyrically? (song wise)
Katy
Thinking of you
"Comparisons are easily done
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one, I still got the seed
You're like an Indian summer
In the middle of winter
Like a hard candy
With a surprise center
How do I get better
Once I've had the best?"
Bey
Halo
"Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light
I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't begin to pull me back to the ground again
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby, I can feel your halo
I pray it won't fade away"

Schoolin' Life
Mom and dad tried to hide the world
Said, the world is just too big for a little girl
Eyes wide open, can't you see
I had my first heels by the age of 13
Mom and dad tried to hide the boys
I swear that just made them want me more
At 14 they asked me what I wanna be,
I said "Baby 21, so I'd get me a drink."
I'm not a teacher, babe
But I can teach you something
Not a preacher
But we can pray if you wanna
Ain't a doctor
But I can make you feel better
But I'm great at writing physical love letters
I'm a freak, all day, all night
Hot, top, flight
Boy out of sight
And I'm crazy, all day, all night
Who needs a degree when you're schoolin' life?

Bey's best lyrics are Ghost.
Quote:
And I've been drifting off on knowledge
Cat-calls on cat-walks, man these women getting solemn
I could sing a song for a Solomon or Salamander
We took a flight at midnight and now my mind can't help but wonder:
How come?
Spoon-fed pluralized eyes to find the beaches in the forest
When I'm looking off the edge, I preach my gut it can't help but ignore it
I'm climbing up the walls cause all the **** I hear is boring
All the **** I do is boring, all these record labels boring
I don't trust these record labels, I'm torn
All these people on the planet working 9 to 5 just to stay alive
The 9 to 5 just to stay alive, the 9 to 5 just to stay alive
The 9 to 5 just to stay alive, the 9 to 5 just to stay alive
The 9 to 5 just to stay alive, the 9 to 5 just to stay alive
All the people on the planet working 9 to 5 just to stay alive, how come?

I walked through a pool of water and seen the shadow of a broken-hearted girl
Pictured us walking to the altar, for better or for worse
I ain't pop no Molly but you still got me sweating
What happened to that feeling? We'll never get it back
I ain't take no shots but you still got me hot
What happened to that feeling? I wish it wouldn't stop
We were supposed to be together
We were supposed to be together
They say that love can hit you so fast
Plenty odds are running out of time
But ours is on the border walk baby
Take me as I am or not
I can't breathe without you, without you as mine

Lady Gaga: Bad Kids - Deleted Verse (can be found in BTW booklet)
“Cuff me up sir I’m mad
At the relationshop I got
Between my ass and your badge
I smoke, but I’m not into candy no-class
Though there might be some illegal ****
In my meat dress, I’ve got guns,
up under my thumbs
Manicure is slick
You mad that my tips longer than your click?
Just a freedom hussy
Rebel fashion junkie
And I wanna serve my country
In the best way that I could be
So don’t ask, ‘cause I’ll tell
you I’m free, while you dwell
Throw your hands up in the crowd
Cause if you’re bad kid and you’re proud"
Rihanna - Stupid In Love
"Even though Katy
Told me that this would be nothing
But a waste of time
And she was right, mm
Don't understand it
Blood on your hands
And still you insist
On repeatedly trying
To tell me lies
And I just don't know why"
Lana Del Rey - This Is What Makes Us Girls (she has better I just can't think of any)
"Remember how we used to party up all night
Sneaking out and looking for a taste of real life
Drinking in the small town firelight
(Pabst Blue Ribbon on ice)
Sweet sixteen and we had arrived
Walking down the streets as they whistle, "Hi, hi!"
Stealin' police cars with the senior guys
Teachers said we'd never make it out alive
There she was my new best friend
High heels in her hand, swayin' in the wind
While she starts to cry, mascara runnin' down her little Bambi eyes:
"Lana, how I hate those guys.""

Carrie has so many; I'll just choose the best one from each of her albums.
Good In Goodbye
As bad as it was, as bad as it hurt
I thank God I didn’t get what I thought that I deserved
Sometimes life leads you down a different road
When you’re holding on to someone that you gotta let go
Someday you’ll see the reason why
Sometimes, yeah, sometimes, there’s good in goodbye
Someday When I Stop Loving You
I bet all I had on a thing called love
I guess in the end it wasn't enough
And it's hard to watch you leave right now
I'm gonna have to learn to let you go somehow,
Somehow
I'll move on baby just like you
When the desert floods and the grass turns blue
When a sailin' ship don't need her moon
It'll break my heart but I'll get through
Someday when I stop lovin' you
So Small
It's so easy to get lost inside
a problem that seems so big at the time
it's like a river thats so wide
it swallows you whole
While you sit around thinking about what you can't change
and worrying about all the wrong things
time's flying by
moving so fast
you better make it count 'cause you can't get it back
Starts With Goodbye
I guess it's gonna have to hurt,
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
And let go of some things I've loved,
To get to the other side,
I guess it's gonna break me down,
Like falling when you try to fly,
It's sad, but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life,
Starts with goodbye.

Rihanna:
Jump: Tell me that you love me
When you know you don't love me
But I guess I guess I guess it's all good
You can play the game
I'ma still do my thing
Ain't no better way for it to be put
When you **** them other girls
I bet they be wondering why you always call my name
You think I'm gonna wait around
I ain't got all day, you don't need another lover
Don't you let it go, I already got it covered
Let the others know
If you want it let's do it, ride it my pony
My saddle is waiting, come and jump on it
G4l-Any mothaf**** wanna disrespect
Playing with fire finna get you wet
How it feel down there on your knees
The ENTIRE Cold Case Love song and also Love without Tragedy/MM

All Too Well
Cause there we are again in the middle of the night.
We dance around the kitchen in the refrigerator light
Down the stairs, I was there, I remember it all too well, yeah.
Maybe we got lost in translation, maybe I asked for too much,
And maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up.
Running scared, I was there, I remember it all too well.
Hey, you call me up again just to break me like a promise.
So casually cruel in the name of being honest.
I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
'Cause I remember it all, all, all... too well.
Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it
I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it
After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own
Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone
But you keep my old scarf from that very first week
'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me
You can't get rid of it 'cause you remember it all too well, yeah
State of Grace
So you were never a saint
And I’ve loved in shades of wrong
We learn to live with the pain
Mosaic broken hearts
But this love is brave and wild
And I never (never) {[x8:] Oh oh, oh oh oh-oh-oh-ooh} saw you coming
And I'll never (never) be the same
This is a state of grace
This is the worthwhile fight
Love is a ruthless game
Unless you play it good and right
These are the hands of fate
You're my Achilles heel
This is the golden age of something good and right and real
Dear John
You are an expert at "Sorry"
And keeping lines blurry
Never impressed by me acing your tests
All the girls that you've run dry have tired lifeless eyes
Cause you've burned them out
But I took your matches
Before fire could catch me
So don’t look now
I’m shining like fireworks
Over your sad empty town

No Parade
"I'm already looking back
I'm already looking around
Where did we get off the track?
What was it that brought us down?
I'm already waking up
Oh, have I been asleep too long?
Losing you is hard enough
Not knowing anything was wrong
Changes come but where they go
You never know
Just another day like any other
Nothing in the sky said run for cover
Just another reason
never thought it would end this way
There was no parade
No lights flashing
No songs to sing along the way
There was no parade"

"Walk Away"
What do you do, when you know something's bad for you, but you just can't let it go?
I was naive, your love was like candy
Artificially sweet, I was decieved by the wrapping,
Got caught in your web and I learned how to bleed
I was prey in your bed and devoured completely
[Chorus:]
And it hurts my soul, cause I can't let go all these walls are cavin in
I can't stop my sufferin
I hate to show that I've lost control cause I,
I keep goin right back to the one thing that I need to walk away from
I need to get away from ya, need to walk away from ya get away, walk away, walk away....
I should have known that I was used for amusement
Couldn't see through the smoke, it was all an illusion
Now I've been lickin my wounds, but the venom seeps deeper
We both can seduce, but darlin you hold me prisoner
[Chorus x2:]
Oh, I'm about to break, I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure, and I'm fiendin' for a cure
Every step I take, leads to one mistake
I keep goin right back to the one thing that I need
I can't mend, this torn state I'm in getting nothing in return
What did I do to deserve the pain of this slow burn
And everywhere I turn I keep goin right back to the one thing that I need to walk away from
I need to get away from ya, need to walk away from ya get away, walk away, walk away....
Every time I try to grasp for air, I am smothered in despair it's never over, over
Seems I'll never wake from this nightmare, I let out a silent prayer
Let it be over, over
Inside I'm screaming, begging, pleading no more
Now what to do, my heart has been bruised, so sad but it's true
Each beat reminds me of you
[Out chorus:]
It hurts my soul, cause I can't let go all these walls are cavin in
I can't stop my sufferin
I hate to show that I've lost control cause I,
I keep goin right back to the one thing that I need Oh, I'm about to break, I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure, and I'm fiendin' for a cure
Every step I take, leads to one mistake
I keep goin right back to the one thing that I need oh I can't mend this torn state I'm in
Getting nothing in return what did I do to deserve
The pain of this slow burn
And everywhere I turn I keep goin right back to the one thing that I need to walk away from
[Repeat chorus x4]

Tough choice, but here it goes.
Song for Sharon by Joni Mitchell
A woman I knew just drowned herself
The well was deep and muddy
She was just shaking off futility
Or punishing somebody
My friends were calling up all day yesterday
All emotions and abstractions
It seems we all live so close to that line
and so far from satisfaction
Dora says "Have children"
Mama and Betsy say "Find yourself a charity
Help the needy and the crippled or put some time into Ecology"
Well there's a wide wide world of noble causes
And lovely landscapes to discover
But all I really want to do right now
Is find another lover
Amelia by Joni Mitchell
The drone of flying engines
Is a song so wild and blue
It scrambles time and seasons if it gets thru to you
Then your life becomes a travelogue
Of picture post card charms
Amelia it was just a false alarm
People will tell you where they've gone
They'll tell you where to go
But till you get there yourself you never really know
Where some have found their paradise
Other's just come to harm
Oh, Amelia it was just a false alarm
