And all the things you said to me

But a cold stone's all I see
Let my heart go
there are many, but if i'd written them, i would not like them.

Nobody cares how much you know,
until they know how much you care.
"What you keep to yourself you lose, what you give away you keep forever." -Axel Munthe
The Who- Pinball Wizard
George Harrison- While my guitar gently weeps
Cream- White Room
Derek and the Dominos- Layla
Queen- Bohemian Rapsody
"Yesterday" - Lennon/McCartney (McCartney, really) - let 10,000 people record covers of it, collect the royalties, then write the stuff I really want to write. "White Christmas" would work just as well.
Blame it on the lies that killed us, blame it on the truth that ran us down.
Piano Man - Billy Joel
And a few others some have mentioned. Layla for one.

Anything by Pink Floyd. ANYTHING. My favorite band of all time. Most of all, Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd. It's a fairly simple song that is incredible. :mrgreen:
~Lock the doors, and throw away the keys, there's someone in my head, and it's not me~
There's nothing better than classic rock. Don't argue.
I am a dolphin. Fear me.

I'd love to be the one who had written ANY of Audioslave's lyrics.
From "Shadon on the Sun"
Every drop of flame
Lights a candle in
Memory of the one
who lives inside my skin...
Ah... it's good stuff in the hard rock department.
I wish I had written Pearl Jam's "Alive". The concept and overall construction of the song is simple, typical, unextraordinary, but the melody, execution, the riffs, the feeling... it's so good.
Do something you love and you'll never work a day in your life...
Aerial Boundaries & Ragamuffin by Hedges
Suite Judy Blues Eyes
Red House
Mule By Gov't Mule
Yesterday
Judith By Perfect Circle
Don't Eat the Yellow Snow By FZ
I wish I wrote the entire Sgt Pepper album or the entire Abbey Road album.

Sometimes in life you get shown the light,
In the strangest of places if you look at it right.
In my Life, Working Class Hero and Norwegian Wood are the three I wish I'd beaten Lennon to.....
But there are millions of great unwritten songs out there, it's up to us to get busy and write them.....
:D :D :D
