Umm..yeah..I'm gonna have to say most of they lyrics to Silver Girl...especially the "She's got a million bucks..and she looks like it..." and "those papers she never signed..." I mean..yea she wrote a song for a friend...but it irks me that I can't relate to this song at all...
From Docklands: "Papa says...there are clothes to wash Sister says...brush your hair You'll go down...to the laundromat Maybe your sister is there" That line just annoys me... As far as good lines..there are a ton..but here are a couple of my favorites: "And I see you doing... what I try to do for me With the words from a poet... and the voice from a choir And a melody...nothing else mattered" From EO17 "Never have a I been a blue calm sea, I've always been a storm..." Phenomenal line!

I don't like The Nightmare either...the whole song is recycled Tusk lyrics to a cheesy synth sound...not one of my favorites.
And I know Stevie likes to be somewhat ambiguous with her lyrics but the whole Bombay Sapphire line that goes: "It is green...it is aquamarine...it is colors I have never seen... I can see past you to the white sand... It is blue...it is all about you...it is all true...(Does Horton Hear A Who?) and then the..."Here I am dramatic....Here I am not waiting...Here I am not listening.." (It reminds me of a narration to a boring slide show...) And I also don't like the "Thousand Days" lyric: "Well I can see the trouble... The sun is here today and I requested a storm But I like some kind of Time/Life edition...tradition...competition...(again it sounds like Dr. Seuss)...being the only thing that I really have to remember...the great singers and the great players..." Complete and utter nonsense!! Now on to the favorites: "So with the slow graceful flow of age I went forth..." "So I close my eyes softly 'til I become that part of the wind that we all long for sometime..." "To the gypsy that remains...faces freedom with a little fear..." "In dark sorrow, they gaze down into the darkest heart..." "And when I call will you walk gently through my shadow..." "I need you because you let me breathe, but you've taken me away...but never take me lightly or I could never stay..." "But never have I been a blue calm sea...I have always been a storm..." "Sometimes it rages...even when it's calm..." "Said you'd give me light, but you never told me about the fire..." And soooooo many more...

I think the most cringe-worthy part of any of Stevie's songs, for me, has always been, "Operation Desert Shield! Operation Desert Storm! Operation Desert Angel...."
I dig the song up until that point, and then that just totally blows it for me. Ah well... they can't all be winners. And of course I already mentioned "Street Angels live on the street, and they always will." Beyond that, I really love Stevie's phrasing... it's one of the things that draws me to her lyrics. Many lines might look terribly awkward on paper, but sound absolutely brilliant when she's singing them. In my humble opinion, that is... as many people obviously don't agree with me!  My favorite line.... "You live by the light of the moon... I live by the light of desire...." Oh, and Eric... that lyric Jake posted was just a joke. The actual lyrics are, "I'll take off my cape for you... I'll take down my hair for you... anything you want me to do, my love.... I'll sit home and wait for you... Ooh, darling, there's nothing that I'd rather do... anything you want me to do, my love...." Which I actually think is a very beautiful lyric of love and devotion.
