The most poignant, heart breaking lyrics ever (do not open if you are sensitive)
Well, I'm hot blooded, check it and see
I got a fever of a hundred and three
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I'm hot blooded, I'm hot blooded

1. yeah, but for sheer poetry on a Whitmanesque level....
The Ramones


"I Don't Care"

I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
About this world
I don't care
About that girl
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
About these words
I don't care

2. The Last Song - Miguel Hernandez
(Cancion ultima)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Pm-cQ9xQnE


Painted, not empty:
my house is painted
in the colors
of great passions and tragedies.

The empty dinner table,
and noisy bed will return
from the tears to which
they were taken.

Kisses will blossom on the pillows,
And sheets will rise again over bodies
entangled like vines
nocturnal and perfumed.

Hatred will vanish
behind those windows.

Claws will be softened.

Leave me hope, at least.

(Written in prison, from which he never returned)

3. You're Breakin' My Heart by Harry Nilsson might beat that one.
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart so fuck you

All I want to do is have a good time now I'm blue
You won't boogaloo,
Run down to Tramps, have a dance or two, ooohhh
You're breakin' my heart,
You're tearing it apart but fuck you

You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart, boo-hoo

You stepped on my ass
You're breakin' my glasses too
You won't drive my car, might be a star
I've had enough of you
I'm goin' insane
There's no one to blame so fuck you

You can't have your way
There's nothing left to say
There's nothing left to do, ooooohhh
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart so fuck you

You gotta have your way
There's nothing left to say
There's nothing left to do, ooooowww
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart but I love you

5. For sheer poignancy and heartfeltness, there's Paul McCartney
Why don't we do it in the road?
Why don't we do it in the road?
Why don't we do it in the road?
Why don't we do it in the road?
No one will be watching us
Why don't we just do it in the road?

6. "Country Love Song" by Stephen Lynch
.
I made love to ya all night long
then i got up to write you a song
i watched ya sleep and i fell in love
ya must've been sent from heaven above
don't think you could never do no wrong
.
then you farted....
oh girl you farted..
.
.
first i thought that it was kinda cute
i surpressed a smile when i heard your girly poot
then came the smell came waftin' by
and brought a little tear drop to my eye
i think that i'll go sleep out on the couch
.
cause you farted...
.
.
you could make milk curdle
make your skin crawl
make the paint peel off of the wall
i won't sleep under the covers no more
since the hot winds blew from out your back door
.
.
baby, it sure has been a gas
but i can't live life in fear of your ass
so i gathered up my clothes and old dog bill
moved back to my house at the top of the hill
well old boy I guess its just you and me
.
.
.
.
.
then he farted...
.
.
.
.
.

8. Flummoxed for forty years, Cirkus by King Crimson

Night: her sable dome scattered with diamonds,
Fused my dust from a light year,
Squeezed me to her breast, sowed me with carbon,
Strung my warp across time
Gave me each a horse, sunrise and graveyard,
Told me only I was her;
Bid me face the east closed me in questions
Built the sky for my dawn...

Cleaned my feet of mud, followed the empty
Zebra ride to the Cirkus,
Past a painted cage, spoke to the paybox
Glove which wrote on my tongue-
Pushed me down a slide to the arena,
Megaphonium fanfare.
In his cloak of words strode the ringmaster
Bid me join the parade...

"Worship!" cried the clown, "I am a T.I.
Making bandsmen go clockwork,
See the slinky seal Cirkus policeman;
Bareback ladies have fish."
Strongmen by his feet, plate-spinning statesman,
Acrobatically juggling-
Bids his tamers go quiet the tumblers
Lest the mirror stop turning...

Elephants forgot, force-fed on stale chalk,
Ate the floors of their cages.
Strongmen lost their hair, paybox collapsed and
Lions sharpened their teeth.
Gloves raced round the ring, stallions stampeded
Pandemonium seesaw...
I ran for the door, ringmasters shouted,
"All the fun of the Cirkus!"

9. I thought it was gonna be "I Wanna Be Your Dog" by The Stooges
Edited on Fri Aug-27-10 11:32 AM by Amerigo Vespucci
I feel the tears welling up in my eyes every time that one plays. Iggy just "gets" what love is all about.
