Favorite Lyric(s)?

Two songs that currently have the power to make me bawl my eyes out:

Missy Higgins “They Weren’t There”

---

But they weren't there beneath your stare,
And they weren't stripped 'till they were bare of
Any bindings from the world outside that room.
And they weren't taken by the hand
And led through fields of naked land
Where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away...
So I couldn't say "no".

Sara Bareilles “Gravity”

---

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while
and all my fragile strength is gone.
Set me free, leave me be.
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall,
just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.

The Song That Currently Most Describes My Romantic Life:

Fiona Apple “Paper Bag”

---

I was staring at the sky, just looking for a star
To pray on, or wish on, or something like that
I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy
Whose reality I knew, was a hopeless to be had
But then the dove of hope began its downward slope
And I believed for a moment that my chances
Were approaching to be grabbed
But as it came down near, so did a weary tear
I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag

Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love

Two Songs That Will Get the Naughty-Summer Smile:

Lucy Woodward “Ragdoll”

---

I am a ragdoll, limping this bed
A little worn out from the fun that we had
But nothing's broken just feeling open
It's not like I'm thinking 'bout my wedding day
It's not the kind of thing you tell to the world
But still it's sweet to be your bad little girl
I'm kinda groovy on what you're doing
So squeeze me like the one you love

Damn you put some spell on me
You gotta love a woman who will do as you please
So rip out my heart, throw me down like you do
Stay with me, play with me, don't ever take love away from me
And I'll baby you, I'll be your baby too

---

AC/DC “Let’s Get it Up” (Okay, asking me to choose between AC/DC songs is like yanking me into a billion pieces. I’m just going for the less-than-conventional choice here – of course “Shook Me All Night Long" heads the list)

---

Loose lips sink ships
So come aboard for a pleasure trip
It's high tide so let's ride
The moon is risin' and so am I
I'm gonna get it up
Never gonna let it up
Cruisin' on the seven seas
A pirate of my lovin' needs
I'll never go down
Never go down
So let's get it up
