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

If man is 5 [3x]
then the devil is 6 [5x]
then god is 7 [3x]
this monkey's gone to heaven
