There are tons but this is just what comes in my head at the moment!

 

 

 

Gramma

 

I wanna be the whole world's girl gramma

 

And I'm in love with everyone

 

Jump

 

 

Palm trees in black and white, last thing I saw before I died

 

Just do what you love, just do what you can

 

National Anthem

 

I sing the National Anthem while I am standing over your body, hold you like a python

You can't keep your hands off me or your pants on

 

Dark and lonely, I need somebody to hold me

 

God, you're so handsome

 

Without You

 

Everything I want I have:

Money, notoriety and rivieras.
I even think I found God
In the flash bulbs of the pretty cameras,

 

I can be your china doll, you wanna see me fall

 

DIET MT DEW (Demo)

Hit me and tell me your mine 

I don't know why but I like it

Scary my God you're divine

Give me them give me them dope and diamonds

 

You Can Be The Boss

You say you treat em mean to keep them keen

 

Disco

I am my only God

 

Kill Kill

1,2 make it fun

Don't trust anyone

 

Axl Rose Husband

I said, “Daddy, I need you” (yes) 

Greenwich, I need you Strangled up in ivy 
I’m the garden of Eden Lady Liberty 
Til it flame I'm shinin'

Queen, queen 

 

Yayo

You have to take me right now from this dark trailer park right now

 

It only takes two hours to Nevada

 

Dum Dum

I'm a bad jazz singer
Giving you the finger
No matter what, you'll linger
Cuz you like me even when i am mean
I'm the queen

 

Delicious (I actually luv this song lmao)

I'm delicious, you can't touch this, I'm that bitch that you can't fuck with

 

Daddy Issues

A-A-A-A-A-And they call you Baby Blue

Cus it's your favorite color

 

 

 


*** People call me crazy but I'm in demand ***

i have several 

 

 

National Anthem

 Dark and lonely, I need somebody to hold me.

 

Radio

Their heavy words can't bring me down, I've been raised from the dead. 

 

American Dreams came true somehow

I swore I'd chase em' till I was dead

 

Gramma

Don't cry Bunny

Crazy girl,

don't you know you are the world?

 

Back To Tha Basics

Baby we could go,
Back to the basics.
Trailer park love,
Wearing them ASICS,
And gold
.

 

Prom Song (Gone Wrong)

See you in the hall like Hello, Hello.

Up against the wall like let's go, let's go.

 

 

Mermaid Motel

Buy my purple wig

For my mermaid video
Walk back to where we live

 

Lucky Ones

I tried so hard to act nice like a lady,

You taught me that it was good to be crazy

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.

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!


----      ---Harvey's in the sky with diamonds and he's making me crazy. All he wants to do is party with his pretty baby

A lot of the lyrics I love were mentioned already so I won't do it again to keep this a bit shorter  :smile2:

 

 

Back to Malibu, in our trailer park for two 

 

All of Brite Lites.  :flutter:

 

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  :cuteface:

 

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  :squidward:

"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? :D

 

"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!

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

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?

I paint the sky black
You said if you could have your way, you’d make it nighttime all the day
So it’d suit the mood of your soul

 

The sway of the hips and arms
Will cradle you from afar
They swing 'til you're tired and send you to Mars
Night time is almost ours

 

Cigarettes and robitussin
Will I ever get to heaven?
It's not looking good now

 

I am my only God

 

Strangled up in ivy
I’m the garden of Eden Lady Liberty

 

They say I'm wasting time, they said 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

 

It’s been so long since someone made me different

 

Loving you isn’t right
Black leather, moonlight
Loving you isn’t right
It’s original sin

 

A man who makes a beast out of himself got nothing to lose
Sold my soul long ago with nothing left to choose
I’m tired, tired of singing the blues

 

Don't fuck with me

You're not a gangsta like I am

 

 

GOSPEL, I tell you :crying4:

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.

Well, I find it weird that freaking Gods and Monsters wasn't mentioned in every comment yet.... :hooker: (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 :defeated:

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
