Something About Lyrics

Recently VH1 conducted an online poll in the UK to find which song lyrics listeners liked the best. Here are the top 5 selections:

1. U2 - One. "One life, with each other, sisters, brothers."
2. The Smiths - How Soon is Now? "So you go, and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, and you go home, and you cry, and you want to die."
3. Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit. "I feel stupid and contagious, here we are now, entertain us."
4. Bob Marley - Redemption Song. "Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery,none but ourselves can free our minds, have no fear for atomic energy,'cause none of them can stop the time."
5. Coldplay - Yellow. "Look at the stars, look how they shine for you."

While I can agree with Nirvana being on the list, I don't know about the others. Sure "One" is a good song, but best lyrics? Not in my opinion. Here's Mike's list of top lyrics:

1. The Tragically Hip-Boots or Hearts. "Fingers and toes, fingers and toes,forty things we share. Forty-one if you include, the fact that we don't care."
2. Rage Against the Machine-Township Rebellion. "Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, @$%& the norm."
3. The Smashing Pumpkins-Landslide. "I saw my reflection on a snow-covered hill, then a landslide brought it down.
4. Hoobastank-The Reason. "I've found a reason for me, to change who I used to be. A reason to start over new, and the reason is you."
5. Radiohead-Just. "You do it to yourself, just you, that's why it hurts."

I'd add more but it took me to long to think of these ones. Feel free to comment on your own list.
