Pavement - Gangsters & Pranksters
Donnybrook between two gangsters
And a bunch of merry pranksters
Two against a .22
Well who d'ya think is gonna win that
Fight... fight?
Ten to one it's the gangsters
Those pranksters, they can't even fight
Gangsters like their knuckles bloody
Pranksters spike the drinks of their buddies
Gangsters treat their ladies right
And pranksters curse their chickless plights
(Aw man, there's no...dames)
I've got all this Harvard LSD
Why won't anyone fuck me?!

speaking of lyrics, Lifehouse Smoke and Mirrors has some of the most memorable lines for me:
'gonna drive all night till we disappear
chasing down the miles so far from here'
that particular moment in that song is powerful.

AKB48 - 希望的リフレイン (Hopeful Refrain) [translation ver]
When I turned the corner
I somehow knew you'd be there
From the opposite side of a sunbeam
I had the feeling
I was coming close to you
Because it's true love
Wondrous things happen
The coincidences keep piling up
Like hints from destiny
I love you too much (I love you too much)
I love you too much (I love you too much)
I love you too much (WOW WOW WOW...)
I can't see (I can't see)
Anyone else (anyone else)
But you (WOW WOW WOW...)
Since the day I found out
What my future holds
I've been searching
I love you too much (I love you too much)
I love you too much (I love you too much)
I love you too much (WOW WOW WOW...)
My heart (my heart)
Is in such pain (is in such pain)
It's suffocating (WOW WOW WOW...)
Even if I start to give up
I'll just fall in love with you again
A hopeful refrain
You seem so distant
You leave soon after we start talking
This should be my long-awaited chance
But I'm totally fine
Leaving it at that
A friend of a friend
I can't seem to move beyond that
But the coincidences, surely
Will keep coming around over and over
Only you (only you)
Only you (only you)
Only you (WOW WOW WOW...)
Can shake (can shake)
The composure (the composure)
Inside me (WOW WOW WOW...)
Even when I close my eyes
I can still see
Your smile
Only you (only you)
Only you (only you)
Only you (WOW WOW WOW...)
Are my reason (are my reason)
For living (for living)
I know that now (WOW WOW WOW...)
Even if I try to stop it
I'll just feel this way again
A hopeful refrain
I love you too much
I love you too much
I love you too much
I can't see anyone else
But you
I know that
No matter how much I wish
It won't come true
Only you (only you)
Only you (only you)
Only you (WOW WOW WOW...)
Without realizing (without realizing)
Just be (just be)
My flower (my flower)
Every time I take a breath
I fall in love with you again
An unending refrain
I fall in love with you
A hopeful refrain

My favorite song:
Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I got a blank space baby
And I'll write your name

"It Must Have Been Love"
Lay a whisper on my pillow,
leave the winter on the ground.
I wake up lonely,
there's air of silence in the bedroom
and all around
Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away.
It must have been love but it's over now.
It must have been good but I lost it somehow.
It must have been love but it's over now.
From the moment we touched, 'til the time had run out.
Make-believing we're together that I'm sheltered by your heart.
But in and outside I've turned to water like a teardrop in your palm.
And it's a hard winters day, I dream away.
It must have been love but it's over now.
It's all that I wanted, now I'm living without.
It must have been love but it's over now,
it's where the water flows, it's where the wind blows.

Song makes me bawl. Especially if I've had a little too much bubbly

Tracy Chapman
"For My Lover"
Two weeks in a Virginia jail
For my lover for my lover
Twenty thousand dollar bail
For my lover for my lover
And everybody thinks
That I'me the fool
But they don't get
Any love from you
The things we won't do for love
I'd climb a mountain if I had to
And risk my life so I could have you
You, you, you...
Everyday I'm psychoanalyzed
For my lover for my lover
They dope me up and I tell them lies
For my lover for my lover
I follow my heart
And leave my head to ponder
Deep in this love
No man can shake
I follow my heart
And leave my mind to wonder
Is this love worth
The sacrifices I make
...and one more....
"Fast Car"
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
See my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
His body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
So remember when we were driving driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
We go cruising, entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
So remember when we were driving driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
So remember when we were driving driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

One more from Tracy Chapman (though I could post 10 more that I love)
"The Rape Of The World"
Mother of us all
Place of our birth
How can we stand aside
And watch the rape of the wold
This the beginning of the end
This the most heinous of crimes
This the deadliest of sins
The greatest violation of all time
Mother of us all
Place of our birth
We all are witness
To the rape of the world
You've seen her stripped mined
You've heard of bombs exploded underground
You know the sun shines
Hotter than ever before
Mother of us all
Place of our birth
We all are witness
To the rape of the world
Some claim to have crowned her
A queen
With cities of concrete and steel
But there is no glory no honor
In what results
From the rape of the world
Mother of us all
Place of our birth
We all are witness
To the rape of the world
She has been clear-cut
She has been dumped on
She has been poisoned and beaten up
And we have been witness
To the rape of the world
Mother of us all
Place of our birth
How can we stand aside
And watch the rape of the world
If you look you'll see it with your own eyes
If you listen you will hear her cries
If you care you will stand and testify
And stop the rape of the world
Stop the rape of the world
Mother of us all
Mother of us all
Mother of us all
Mother of us all
