The "Great Lyrics" Thread

[Blitzkrieg]

The lyrics from Black Sabbath's 'Buried Alive' from their Dehumanizer album are excellent. A very underated song IMO. I would write out some of them, but I can't choose a verse, they are all awesome.

How about Venom - Teacher's Pet?

Can't remember the lines but its about a kid jerking off under the desk over his teacher and she sees and keeps him back after school and shags him or something

 

[Wrathchild]

Former Lee Warmer, like most of Alice Cooper's lyrics, is so clever and creepy that it deserves an Edgar Allan Poe award.

I also like most of the lyrics written by Neil Peart, Sting, Pete Townshend and (gasp!) Paul Simon. First class wordsmiths, all of 'em .

Neil Peart's lyrics on "Hold Your Fire" are some of the best lyrics ever written, especially songs like "Second Nature" and "Open Secrets".
