Songs with great lyrics... (At least in my opinion :-P)

Here's a great thread to begin... Some of the many songs I've encountered have superb lyrics that have a message to convey or just an emotion to evoke or just stirs something in you that is inexplicable. Here are some of them. If you have any more songs (I'm damn sure there's a lot out there), just suggest them in the tagboard or at the comments link at the end of this post, k? I'll tr and add them here. Hmm... Just a note: It's best to quote a part of the song and not the whole thing. Coz this thread would be damn long if each lyrics was actually the whole song! Thanks! To start the ball rolling, here's my fave song at the moment.

Natasha Bedingfield : Unwritten
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Notes: Love the chorus of this song. It talks about the individual having to take control of his or her own life, through one's actions and thoughts. You can't expect someone to tell you what to do and you cannot expect things that have not happened to happen out of complacency. You have to live your own life, your own way. I just love the metaphor of the unfinished book representing one's life. Very nice.

Wicked The Musical : No Good Deed
Was I really seeking good
Or just seeking attention?
Is that all good deeds are
When looked at with an ice-cold eye?

Notes: This song really has to be heard and seen (since this is a musical) in context. Lemme set it into context first. There's this green witch in Oz called Elphaba and her friend Glinda (who just so becomes one after the school dance). They both seek to change the world of Oz with their many ideas and dream of working with the Wizard of Oz. Elphaba finds out that she is being used by him as a scapegoat and she sings this song in desperation for she believes herself to finally become the Wicked Witch people call her because she has 'failed' helping everyone she tried to help. Her spells either backfire or do not work as they are supposed to and she is blamed for everything wrong that goes on in the land. This song is where she doubts the sincerity of the doing of good deeds. She questions whether she did everything only out of attention-seeking or was it out of a pure sincere helpful heart. It is a question worth asking ourselves sometimes too.
