Lyric of the Day: 11 Jan 2012
And they say / She’s in the Class A Team / Stuck in her daydream / Been this way since 18 / But lately her face seems / Slowly sinking, wasting / Crumbling like pastries / And they scream / The worst things in life come free to us / Cos we’re just under the upper hand / And go mad for a couple of grams / And she don’t want to go outside tonight / And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland / Or sells love to another man / It’s too cold outside / For angels to fly / Angels to fly
—Ed Sheeran

One more robot learns to be / Something more than a machine / When it tries the way it does / Make it seem like it can love / Cause it’s hard to say what’s real / When you know the way you feel / Is it wrong to think it’s love / When it tries the way it does
—Flaming Lips
Lyric of the Day: 16 Nov 2011
If everybody minded their own business / They’d be too busy to worry ‘bout mine / If I live life the way I wanna live it / It ain’t no crime, it ain’t no crime / If I wanna kick back and chill or steal / A kiss from a girl, I will every time / It ain’t no crime

Lyric of the Day: 11 Sep 2011
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light, / What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming? / Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro’ the perilous fight, / O’er the ramparts we watch’d, were so gallantly streaming? / And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, / Gave proof thro’ the night that our flag was still there. / O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave / O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
—Key
