ThomasDelRey 26 Posted April 4, 2013 I'm gonna have to do one for almost each song tbh... "Love you more than those bitches before" from Blue Jeans "Baby stopin' at 7-11, there in his white Pontiac Heaven" Diet Mountain Dew "Red, white, blue is in the sky, Summer's in the air, and baby Heaven's in your eyes" National Anthem "All my friends ask me why I stay strong, tell 'em when you find true love it lives on" Dark Paradise "Every now and then the stars align,boy and girl meet by the great desgin" Lucky Ones "We don't stick together cause we put love first" TIWMUG The whole chorus in Ride "You were like tall tan/so sick" in American "My pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola" in Cola "Mary prays the rosary for my broken mind" Body Electric THE WHOLE FUCKING GODS AND MONSTERS LYRICS THEY'RE SO GENIOUSE "Idle of roses, Iconic soul, I know your name" Bel Air i think her lyracism improved a lot on Paradise Edition. So much more symbolic, and innovative. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tropicola 21 Posted April 4, 2013 I have soo many, like at least 5 from each song! Hahaha, but I'll post 4 "Harvey's in the sky with diamonds and he's making me crazy" from Cola; since the first time I heard this line, I was hooked on the song. There's something so... euphoric and magical about the lyrics, and the way she sings them is incredible. I love it! "Been trying hard not to get into trouble but I, I've got a war in my mind" from Ride; Amazing! I love the way she writes very deep things in just a few words. This can have so many meanings. "What God gave me a brain for if he won't let me use it?" from You're Gonna Love Me; Like the previous one, I think this can be taken in many different ways, and I love it! "Wining and dining, drinking and driving, excessive buying, overdose and dying, and the drugs and the love and our dreams and our rage, blurring the lines between real and the fake" from National Anthem; LOVE TO DANCE TO THESE LYRICS! 1 Quote ---- ---Harvey's in the sky with diamonds and he's making me crazy.

Poison Ivy 1,588 Posted April 6, 2013 A lot of the lyrics I love were mentioned already so I won't do it again to keep this a bit shorter Back to Malibu, in our trailer park for two All of Brite Lites. And I'm in love with everyone, and I don't wanna think I'm wrong Could be kissing my fruit-punch lips in the bright sunshine Just like you said, it's all been done before - I don't have to talk pretty for them no more. I can talk what I want, how I wanna, I don't have to talk taste for you mama All Yayo We're in the Pontiac from July to July My old man is a tough man, but he's got a soul as sweet as blood red jam and he shows me, he knows me every inch of my tar black soul Come on baby, let's ride, we can escape to great sunshine ~ We made it out to the other side All Dark Paradise I've got a bad disease, will no one help me please, not even you? He thinks that little girls are butterflies and clips their wings Baby has a broken heart, she can't belong to only one/ until another girl is found I'm the ghost in your machine, your real life suicide girl He's my drugstore cowboy, Italian alloy, classical American and I'm Amerca's sweetheart, cute delicious sweet tart, sipping on my diet Coke, singing in the trailer park I could sit here writing all day 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kittren 209 Posted April 8, 2013 Wow, just some one my favs, because I have a lot! "I told you that no matter what you did I'd be by your side" Blue Jeans - All time fav. "Sometimes love's not enough when the road gets tough, I don't know why" Born to die - Amazing! Helped me a lot, when I was depressed. "My pussy tastes like pepsi cola, My eyes are wide like cherry pies" Cola - I have to say anything? "Flowers in my hair and your breath smelled like whiskey" - "Every once in a lifetime dreams can come true" Damn you - Reminds me of my boyfriend. "Cause baby we were born to live fast and die young" Never let me go "You used to call yourself "the Don",And me "Queen Diana",You always make me blush I say,"Shut up, boy, you bananas." - Prom song - Playful and amazing lyrics! "I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast, I am alone in the night, Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, but I've got a war in my mind" Ride "This is what makes us girls, We don't look for heaven and we put our love first, Don't you know we'd die for it? It's a curse" TIWMUG - Because this is simply the truest line EVER! I have more, but I am not going to write them down, it's too much 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sitar 22,213 Posted April 8, 2013 Cigarettes, robitussin, will I ever get to heaven? It's not looking good now They say I'm wasting time, they say that I'm no good Summer of my life, not doing what I should Call me poison ivy 'cause I'm far from good But pretty from afar, like a dark star I'm the Garden of Eden Lady Liberty I learned how to make love from the movies He found me waitressing at Ruby Tuesday's He said, "I wanna buy you up, plus a white milkshake."I said, "I'll serve you up a special side of heartbreak." I was working down in the corner cafe You would drive by in the Chevrolet Whistle at me as my hips go sway "Lana Del Rey, how you get that way?" I said, he loves my heart-shaped sunglasses He loves the heart shape my ass is Cristal, crystal champagne glasses I AM MY ONLY GOD 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rways 405 Posted July 24, 2013 So i was fighting with this old Bandwagoner today, (The Fight is still going on) and he started to say that Lana's Lyrics are SHIT. Now i think we can all agree that Lana's lyrics are sometimes (and sometimes most of the time) amazing. And the critics agree with us. What are Lana's BEST lyrics? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elllipsis 1,441 Posted July 24, 2013 @ Get outta my head, bitch! I second all of Antonia's choices and add: Back To Tha Basics & Off To The Races (not super deep or anything but I really like how they flow and the imagery they convey) TOSTB is probably her strongest song lyrically, imo. Motel 6 tho. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hello Heaven 1,578 Posted July 24, 2013 Does anyone else find that often Lana's not so good or more boring songs have the best lyrics? I think it's because it's difficult to multitask on making a good tune etc as well as making it good lyrically. For instant, everyone knows Pawn Shop Blues is a lyrical masterpiece but it's also my least favourite on the album. Plus, Sirens is her worse album (you can't deny it, I love it but that's literally a fact) however, for me, it's her best album lyrically and if the poetry was lame, I wouldn't love it the way I do. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creyk 11,699 Posted July 24, 2013 Well, I find it weird that freaking Gods and Monsters wasn't mentioned in every comment yet.... (seriously wtf, or am I delusional and I only imagined that 95% of the fanbase is in love with those lyrics) But the very best verse, I think is from LGOE, it's just so beautiful. "Chariots are gold,I sit, sipping cherry cola,Caesar says he’d fall in love with me, if I was older.I hold all the Mexico and I got my own roller coaster,Sometimes I get lonely, millions can hold me now." I mean come on, how wonderful is that Does anyone else find that often Lana's not so good or more boring songs have the best lyrics? I think it's because it's difficult to multitask on making a good tune etc as well as making it good lyrically. For instant, everyone knows Pawn Shop Blues is a lyrical masterpiece but it's also my least favourite on the album.

I think what you mean is that sometimes there is more emphasis on the words than the sound, but I wouldn't go that far. BTD and Video Games both have amazing lyrics and they also sound amazing for example 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
