RE: Inspiring Lyrics
Nice topic :)
Ok, my favourite Jet lyrics is of Shine On. And my favourite lyrics in general is of Working Class Hero.
JET lyrics... Beat on Repeat for the fun, but on the other side of the stick, Bring It On Back probably would be up there.
Favourite lyrics ever? You Only Live Once by The Strokes ain't bad at all. Love a good reality song.
I could go on, but then you'd be reading my post for a long time!

They must just LOVE fans like me.... and then hate them later when they actually show up to their shows…
I would have to say that my favorite JET lyrics belong to 'Hold On' or 'Move On'. Those two songs are really great, and I could never tire of them. My Favorite song of all time is 'Jungleland' by Bruce Springsteen. I mean seriously, he's a musical genius! That song flows like silk, and I'm absolutely head-over-heels in love with it! I mean, seriously, read this:
Beneath the city two hearts beat
Soul engines running through a night so tender in a bedroom locked
In whispers of soft refusal and then surrender in the tunnels uptown
The rats own dream guns him down as shots echo down them hallways in the
Night
No one watches when the ambulance pulls away
Or as the girl shuts out the bedroom light
Outside the streets on fire in a real death waltz
Between flesh and what's fantasy and the poets down here
Don't write nothing at all, they just stand back and let it all be
And in the quick of the night they reach for their moment
And try to make an honest stand but they wind up wounded, not even dead
Tonight in jungleland
I mean, HOW GREAT IS THAT? I'm in LOVE! hahaha
My favorite lyrics are from "Come Around Again." I'm always kicking around something in my head.
You promise me you'd always be
When I wake up please come around again
Come around again
You promised me you'd always be
When I wake up please come around again
Come around again
Yeah there's something I was thinking about
Get it out of my head
Yeah there's something I was kicking around
Somethin' you said
I don't know when I'm right
I only know when I'm wrong
When you gonna leave some light to show it all
And keep the lights from going off
Coz I don't see
Yeah I'm waitin' for you, it's been so long
Yeah I'm lost but I'm at home
They said it takes a long long time
If it's not too much
Could you hear me now
I am a HUGE fan of 'Falling Star', 'You Don't Look the Same', 'Everything will be Alright', and 'Hold On'. They remind me of Goats Head Soup by the Stones and Face to Face by the Kinks, that is when these respective groups began to move into a new direction from the raucous rock and roll that propelled them to international fame and began to experiment with a fusion of different genres, kinda like Shaka Rock now.
Falling Star
Wake! You've been sleeping
And tell me what do you believe in
Wake! You've been sleeping
You've pushed too far now you're bleeding
You Fell So Far
you should have been a star.
You Don't Look the Same
And i don't know why you can't lose, you lose
the rest of us we have to choose, we do
but you don't look the same
you don't seem the same
cause in my dreams you fall apart
you come and tell me who are you
the past is overdue
all i hear are the same excuses
all you do is complain
Everything Will be Alright
Tel me tell me again will it ever end
Nothing seems to come out right
It doesn't come out right
Ain't it the truth
No where to run no end in sight
Tell everyone that you're are right
All of this life I never meant to tell a lie
And if I can hold you I tell you its alright
Hold On
You tried so hard to be someone
That you forgot who you are
You tried to fill some emptiness
‘Til all you had spilled over
Now everything’s so far away
That you don’t know where you are, you are
Cheers,
