I was listening to the radio on my way into work, and had music on, which is rare for me in the mornings, since I listen to a ‘morning show’ – but I had a great mix cd that I made on and in every song there were awesome lyrics, ones that just caught me, struck me and made me wish that I could weave words in the same way that people draw or put together notes. Here’s some of the lyric excerpts that are some faves. If you’re bored, you can try to identify the songs & artists (No web searching, CHEATER!)

‘and the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls’

‘Did you laugh at all when the people walked right by and said aloud, “You gutter punks are all the same.”‘

‘If you want to kiss the sky, better learn how to kneel (on your knees, boy!)’

‘it’s the terror of knowing what this world is about’

‘If I die before I learn to speak, can money pay for all the days I lived awake but half asleep’

‘I stopped by the bar at 3 am To seek solace in a bottle, or possibly a friend’

‘Underneath the chilly grey november sky, We can make believe.. that kennedy is still alive’

Peace out y’all…
