I know a lot of song texts by heart, f.e. Crystal Ship by The Doors if that counts

Is "The End" the most epic, cinematic and philosphical song ever written? I mean it references Freud, Nietzsche, the Romans, the Greeks and puts a love loss into the perspective of human evoluton and history. Great!

I just tried this thread in /mu/ but it didn't quite work. Hopefully you people are more interested in words then them.

Post songs with the best lyrics you know. Any genre, any time, they just have to be good. Also any language, so long as we can find a translation online (or you feel like providing it yourself).

I'll start with a few of my own favourites.

> "The end" - The doors
> "When the music's over" - The doors
> "Thunder Road" - Bruce Springsteen
> "The house of the rising sun" - original author unknown, most renowned version is by The Animals
> "Jah live" - Bob Marley
> "In a manner of speaking" - Tuxedomoon
> "L.A. Woman" - The doors
> "La guerra di Piero" - Fabrizio de André
> "The sound of silence" - Simon and Garfunkel
> "Guns of Brixton" - originally by The Clash, I prefer the version by Nouvelle Vague
> "The Hurricane" - Bob Dylan
> "Stairway to heaven" - Led Zeppelin (mainstream as fug but I can't leave it out)
> "Wild Horses" - Rolling Stones
> "Sister morphine" - Rolling Stones
> "Feathery" - Milky Chance

I guess that'll do for now, although the list could go on a long way.
