Apologies if this has been done, this is just a thread where you can post lyrics that you think are great, clever, uplifting, poetic, whatever you want... Diamonds on the inside ~ Ben Harper I knew a girl, her name was Truth she was a horrible liar she couldn't spend one day alone and she will never be satisfied when you have everything you have everything to lose she made herself a bed of nails and she's planning on putting it to use she had diamonds on the inside she had diamonds on the inside she had diamonds on the inside diamonds a candle throws it light into the darkness and in a nasty world so shines a good deed just make sure the fortune that you seek is the fortune that you really need tell me why the first to ask is the last to give every time what you say and do not mean follows you close behind she had diamonds on the inside like a soldier alone under fire any change comes as a relief let the givers name remain unspoken she is just a generous thief she had diamonds on the inside

I'm a HUGE Ben Harper fan but sometimes his lyrics seem like a string of one-liners instead of a complete song. Or is it just me? Anyway... great song![img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img] Ben Harper - Amen Omen What started as a whisper Slowly turned into a scream Searching for an answer Where the question is unseen I don’t know where you came from And I don’t know where you’ve gone Old friends become old strangers Between the darkness and the dawn Amen omen Will I see your face again Amen omen Can I find the place within To live my life without you I still hear you saying All of life is a chance And is sweetest When at a glance But I live a hundred Lifetimes in a day But I die a little In every breath that I take Amen omen Will I see your face again Amen omen Can I find the place within To live my life without you I listen to a whisper Slowly drift away Silence is the loudest Parting word you never say I put your world Into my veins Now a voiceless sympathy Is all that remains Amen omen Will I see your face again Amen omen Can I find the place within To live my life without you

I just saw Ben Harper at Roskilde. I was great. Although I like his acoustic best. But "The Innicent Criminals"was fun too. He is indeed a great songwrighter.

A great lyric is from the Pixies
