This thread will probably sink like the proverbial lead balloon. But I'll give it a go anyway.

Which songs good lyrics that have abit of meaning?

Here is O.V. Wright's " When you took your love from me."

Would you take the wings from a bird,

Knowing he can't fly?

Would you take the bottle from a little, bitty baby,

And you know he's gonna cry?

(Looka here!)

Would you take the fish outa the water

Knowing, knowing the little fella's gonna die?

Would you take the cane from a blind man

And you know he ain't got no eyes?

Oh baby, can't you see

Oh my darling,

That's what happened,

One day,

When you took your love from me

(Good God!)

I've been loving you to long, baby

You've almost become a part of me

(Here's another thing!)

I'm a prisoner of your love, baby

But it's a funny thing,

I don't want you to set me free

(Oh!)

Would you take the sail from the ship,

And you know it ain't gonna move?

(Good God!)

Would take all the beats from a melody,

(Lord have mercy!) And just let it lose its groove?

Oh baby, can't you see,

Oh my darling,

That's what happened

When you took your love from me?

(I know you understand what I'm saying!)

One day you took your love from me

I lost the will to live, baby

The day you took your love from me

(Here's another thing)

You left me down on my knees

I got to stay down just because ...

Remember hearing this at the Dome once and almost ending up with tears in my eyes by the end of it. Awesome :)
