I wanted to start a thread of songs that have interesting lyrics .
I will start it off with a song by " Incubus" . The name of the song is " Certain shade of green "

Lyrics for Certain Shade of Green.

A certain shade of green
Tell me is that what you need
All signs around say move ahead
Will someone please explain to me
Your ever present lack of speed

Are your muscles bound by ropes
Or do crutches cloud your day
My sources say the road is clear
And street signs point the way

Chorus:
Are you gunna stay around till 2012 A.D
What are you waiting for,
A certain shade of green
I think I grew a grey watching you procrastinate
What are you waiting for
A certain shade of green

Would a written invitation
Signed choose now or lose it all
Sedate your hesitation
Or inflame and make you stall
You've been raised in limitations
But that glove never fit quite right
The time has come for hand-me downs
Choose a new, please evolve
Take flight

What are you waiting for?
A written invitation?
A public declaration?
A private consolation?
Remember when you procrastinate you chose last

Here is another song from " Incubus" called " Idiot's Box" .
Idiot's box being Television.
Interesting Song

You Keep your riches and I'll sew my stitches,
you can't make me think like you, mundane.
I've got a message for all those who think that they can etch his words inside my brain.
TV - What do i need? Tell me Who to beleive!
What's the use of autonomy when a button does it all?
So listen up, glisten up closely all, who've seen the freakin eye ache too.
It's time to step away from the cable train
And when we finally see the subtle light, this quirk in evolution will begin
to let us live and recreate.
TV - What do i need? Tell me who to beleive !
What's the use of autonomy when a button does it all?
TV - Tell me what should i see? Tell me who should i be ?
Lets do our mom a favor and drop a new god off a wall.
Let me see past the fatuous knocks.
I've got to rid myself of this idiot box!
Let you see past the feather's and flock's,
and help me plant a bomb in this idiot box!
From the depths of the sea, to the top of the tree's to the seat of a lazy boy...
Staring at a silver screen!!!

OK, Here's one. I've heard this song for years and really never got it until a year or so ago,but sometimes I' m just "Thick as a Brick" (for you fellow Jethro Tull fans.)

This one is called "Eye in the Sky" by the Alan Parsons Project

Partial lyrics are:

"I am the eye in the sky, Looking at you, I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules Dealing with fools I can cheat you blind
And I don't Need to see any more, To know that...
I can read your mind, I can read your mind

Don't leave false Illusions behind Don't Cry cause I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving
I am the eye in the sky..."

DUH !!!! Now I get it !!!!
