Yer favorite lyrics

[nobody]

I used to blow my mind sky high
Searching for the lost elation
Little did I know the joy I was to find
In knowing I am only me

Although many people don't like Dennis' songs on Sunflower, I like them, and I find this lyric tremendously meaningful.

What are your favorites? First that come to mind. Go!

[Nicole]

That's hard. I really like, "Late at night when the whole world's sleeping, I dream of you...close to you I feel your sweet heart beating, I dream of you," from Baby Blue, and the line, "And if you knew how much I loved you, baby, nothing could go wrong with you," from Don't Worry Baby.  And all of God Only Knows. There are so many, though.

[Jason]

I like all of the words to Wild Honey. It could very well be taken as an analogy to eating p*ssy.

[nobody]

I like all of the words to Wild Honey. It could very well be taken as an analogy to eating kitty.

Isn't that well-known? I don't like eating kitty that much, but I like the song.

[MookieZ]

Although many people don't like Dennis' songs on Sunflower...

What? Who are these people?

I've heard people deride "Got To Know The Woman", but I don't think I've ever heard any words against his other three songs. I mean, "Forever" is beloved.

[Magic Transistor Radio]

My Peace Solution!!

A song about how he tested his peace solution on his dog. At first his dog was very calm, but eventually it died. Very funny lyrics. Brian even gives an evil laugh at the end.

[Aegir]

I once had a dream so I packed up and split for the city.

Melekalikimaka, that's Merry Christmas in Hawaii-talka

The she-eagle is older than I, she was here when the fires of eighty-five raged on these ridges. She was lately fledged and dared not hunt ahead of them but ate scorched meat.

I talked your folks out of making you cut off your hair.

Cyclamates, juicy steaks, sweet things too! aren't always good as they seem. Doughy lumps, stomach pumps, enemas too! that's what you get when you eat that way.

My take home comes to 'bout ninety-five and my boss is giving me some praise. If it weren't for me the place would fall apart I think I'll hit him up for a raise.

Lox and cream cheese, can you break a hundred please? LOX AND CREAM CHEESE, MELTING ALL OVER!

[nobody]

The she-eagle is older than I, she was here when the fires of eighty-five raged on these ridges. She was lately fledged and dared not hunt ahead of them but ate scorched meat.

Thank you Aegir! I laughed the hardest I have all day upon seeing that in your post. Ha! As soon as my eyes caught the first few words I heard the voice in my head...

[The Heartical Don]

Serious: I Once Had A Dream So I Packed Up And Split For The City (for numerous reasons, very personal to me)

Funny and/or dumb:

Mona, Disco Disco Discotheque Mama, Coma Coma Coma Come To Me (etc.)

If Mars Had Life On It, I Might Find A Wife On It

Honkin', Honkin' On That Gosh Darn Highway, Tryin' To Get Past The Cars

C'est Trés Jolee En Paree In Da Spring

...and many more...

[metal flake paint]

To get you baby went through the wringaargghh

When I laid down on my bed, I heard voices in my head

"¿Cuando seré? Un día seré"

Ooh let these little words of love, become the lamps that light your way

[shelter]

When I saw the first verse of God Only Knows on a birth card I realized that it's not only the best song ever made, but that it's also the best lyric ever written in a love song.

[shelter]

Oh, and "Oh it's been so long since I have had a woman's breast to lay my head on", of course.

[Big Bri]

"The queen in Copenhagee
The dream of Amsterdamee
The cream of gay Parisee
The theme of U Say Asee
The scene in Great Britainyee
The meaning in Los Angees
The heat in Tokyosee
The treat in Manhattohsee
Oo,yeah,yeah The Funky Pretty!"

Speaks for itself in it's surrealism.

And of course:
"A diamond necklace played the pawn
Hand in hand some drummed along, oh
To a handsome man and baton
A blind class aristocracy
Back through the op'ra glass you see
The pit and the pendulum drawn
Columnated ruins domino

Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
Are you sleeping?

Hung velvet overtaken me
Dim chandelier awaken me
To a song dissolved in the dawn
The music hall a costly bow
The music all is lost for now
To a muted trumperter swan
Columnated ruins domino"

Doesn't get any better than that!

[Nicko1234]

The lyrics on Pet Sounds are consistently excellent. I also like the words on things like Fun, Fun, Fun, All I Wanna Do and Please Let Me Wonder. And I have a soft spot for the verse that begins, `Cupid dear...` in Mike`s Glow Crescent Glow as it describes his life so well.

[PongHit]

'TIL I DIE !

[Amanda Hart]

I don't like eating kitty that much

You must be real lonely

[Big Bri]

"Taint" nothin' wrong with "eating" a little "kitty" every so often......... Hee,hee

[nobody]

I don't like eating kitty that much

You must be real lonely

Why is that? I just don't enjoy it very much. My mouth doesn't feel drawn to that area of a woman. In truth I'm not a very sexual person on the whole. Not repressed, just died out.

[Alex]

We'll make sweet lovin' 'til the sun goes down. We'll even do more when her mama's not around.

Over and over the crow cries uncover the cornfield.

Doughy lumps, stomach pumps, enemas too, are what you get when you eat that way.

Forget about the plot, it'll do very well. Just make sure you've seen enough so you're prepared to tell about the drive-in.

On and on you go dum be do da.

I'd love just once to see you in the nude.

I threw away my candy bar and I ate the wrapper.

Sherry don't hate her guts...

We dance around to a rockin' band, we even ate at a hot dog stand.

[Shady]

Oo let these little words of love
Become the lamps that light your way
My love is burnin' brightly
My moon and stars shine nightly
All I wanna do (lonely in the night I feel)
All I wanna do
All I wanna do
My love is burnin' brightly
All I wanna do
Doo doo doo doo doo
My moon and stars shine brightly
All I wanna do
My love is burnin' brightly
All I wanna do
Doo doo doo doo doo
My moon and stars shine brightly


And Also,

Till I Die, just because it's Brian being so honest.
Baby Blue
Feel Flows.

I could go on and on.

[phirnis]

Hey, little tomboy, I've had my eyes on you
Thinkin' what a girl you could be
Mmm, I smell perfume, let's try some cut-off jeans
Look at all the changes I see
 
I'm gonna teach you to kiss
You're gonna feel just like bliss
They're doin' it all over the world
 
Hey little hey little hey little tomboy
Time to turn into a girl

Come on - someone just HAD to do it.

[nobody]

Top 3

Well since she put me down, I been outdoing in my head

It's automatic when I talked with old friends conversation turns to girls we knew when their hair was soft and long and the beach was  place to go

I been in this town so long that back in the city I've been taken for lost and gone and unknown for a long, long time

Close
Round Round  Get Around I Get Around

Wouldn't It Be Nice if we could wake up in the morning when the day is new and after having spent the day together, hold each close the whole night through.  ( I always liked the way Al sang this line)

and for comedy sake.... I do em when I down in the tub, with avocado cream they'll take a rub

[Matt H]

Well since she put me down, boo ba dab a do ba dab ba dy ba dy ba

Seriously, mine would be Til I Die.
