Here's a fun little exercise. I will post a Lyric, the next post has to name the Band and song, then post her/his own lyric. Here's mine:

Comes a time when the blind-man takes your hand, says "Don't you see?

    Like I brought the whole world my funky beat

    Favorite lyrics at this moment: every single lyric to the Dave Matthews Band song 'Pig':

    Oh, isn't it strange
    How we move our lives for another day?
    Like skipping a beat
    What if a great wave should wash us all away?
    Just thinking out loud
    Don't mean to dwell on this dying thing
    But look at my blood
    It's alive right now,
    And deep and sweet within
    Pouring through our veins
    Intoxicate moving wine to tears
    And drinking it deep
    Then an evening spent dancing
    It's you and me...

    This love will open our world
    From the dark side we can see a glow of something bright
    Oh, there's much more than we see here
    Don't burn the day away

    Is this not enough?
    This blessed sip of life,
    Is it not enough?
    Staring down at the ground
    Oh, then complain and pray for more from above,
    You greedy little pig
    Stop, just watch your world trickle away
    Oh, it's your problem now
    It'll all be dead and gone in a few short years

    Just love will open our eyes
    Just love will put the hope back in our minds
    Much more than we could ever know
    Oh, so don't burn the day away
    Don't burn the day away

    Come sister, my brother
    Shake up your bones, shake up your feet
    I'm saying open up
    And let the rain come pouring in
    Wash out this tired notion
    That the best is yet to come
    But while you're dancing on the ground
    Don't think of when you're gone

    Love, love, love, what more is there?
    'Cause we need the light of love in here
    Don't beat your head
    Dry your eyes
    Let the love in there
    There's bad times
    But that's okay
    Just look for love in it

    And don't burn the day away...

    Look, here are we
    On this starry night, staring into space
    And I must say
    I feel as small as dust lying down here

    What point could there be troubling?
    Head down wondering what will become of me?
    Why concern what we cannot see
    But no reason to abandon it
    The time is short but that's all right
    Maybe I'll go in the middle of the night
    Take your hands from your eyes, my love
    All good things must come to an end some time
    But don't burn the day away
    Don't burn the day away...


    Come sister, my brother
    Shake up your bones, shake up your feet
    I'm saying open up
    And let the rain come flooding in
    Wash out this tired notion
    That the best is yet to come
    But while you're dancing on the ground
    Don't think of when you're gone

    Love, love, love, what more is there?
    'Cause we need the light of love in here
    Don't beat your head
    Dry your eyes
    Let the love in there
    There're bad times
    But that's okay
    Just look for love in it
