Anyone else a lyrics nut? [I Love Lyrics]

Billy don't like it living here in this town
He says the traps have been sprung long before he was born
He says "Hope bites the dust behind all the closed doors
And pus and grime ooze from its scab crusted sores"
There's screaming and crying in the high rise blocks"
It's a rat trap, Billy, but you're already caught
But you can make it if you want to or you need it bad enough
You're young and good looking and you're acting kind of tough


Anyway, it's Saturday night time to see what's going down
Put on the bright suit, Billy, head for the right side of town
It's only 8 o'clock but you're already bored
You don't know what it is but there's got to be more
You'd better find a way out, hey, kick down that door
It's a rat trap and you've been caught

Under Stars

Song by Amy Macdonald



In life you gotta find your feet
In life you gotta dare to dream
Don't worry
We still love you
You still feel it even when we're miles apart
You're living under stars and stripes

In life you gotta spread your wings
Don't worry 'bout the little things
Keep fighting
Keep trying
We'll be here waiting on the other side
Underneath the stars and stripes

This is your song, go write it
Be who you are, don't hide it
You've come so far
Don't let it slip away

Under stars, I'll be where you are
Just call, no matter how far
Under stars, no end to this road
But on we go
And still we roll

Hold my hand, we'll get there someday
Nothing's set in stone until the end

This place is gonna set you free
My love's the only love you need
Do you feel it like I feel it?
'Cause I've traveled half the world tonight
I'll find you under stars and stripes

This is your song, so write it
Be who you are, don't hide it
You've come so far
Don't let it slip away

Under stars, I'll be where you are
Just call, no matter how far
Under stars, no end to this road
But on we go
And still we roll

Under stars, I'll be where you are
Just call, no matter how far
Under stars, there's no end to this road
On we go
On we go

Hold my hand, we'll get there someday
Nothing's set in stone until the end

Yes, in a way. The lyrics of countless songs have resonated with me in some way, over the years. Sometimes it's just parts of a songs lyric, that makes it so meaningful to me personally, at that time. Like this one:

And this ain't no place for the weary kind
This ain't no place to lose your mind
This ain't no place to fall behind
Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try ~ Ryan Bingham

I love lyrics...more than the music most of the time.

I'm just notch in your bedpost and your just a line in a song...

Ticking away the moments that make up the dull day...
