Strange DJ, what was wrong with him? Possibly my all time fav as well, it never loses its power to effect me however many times I hear it.

Certainly a set of lyrics which I've always found to be powerful are by Mik and Keef
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes I have to turn my head until my darkness goes I see a line of cars and they're all painted black With flowers and my love both never to come back I see people turn their heads and quickly look away Like a new born baby it just happens every day I look inside myself and see my heart is black I see my red door and must have it painted black Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue I could not foresee this thing happening to you If I look hard enough into the settin' sun My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes I see a red door and I want it painted black No colors anymore I want them to turn black I see the girls go by dressed in their summer clothes I have to turn my head until my darkness goes Hmm, hmm, hmm,... I wanna see it tainted, tainted black Black as night, black as coal I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky I wanna see it tainted, tainted, tainted, tainted black |

Enjoy

Nice one Rob, stands out from all the stuff the Stones did as a pure classic, among my all time most listened to songs.
so on with lyrics and there isn't a lot one can follow Paint it Black with, but this one may just cut it.. Hello darkness my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence |

^^^^^^^^^^^^Link for Ben's video Thumbs up too for Bob D, apparently a huge influence on Jimi Hendrix, so on that weak excuse: Edited by GemmaJF - 10 May 2012 at 6:07pm |

Finished with my woman
'cause she couldn't help me with my mind People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify Can you help me, occupy my brain? Oh yeah I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late |

Funnily enough one of my favourite boyhood bands 'The Inspiral Carpets' covered both Ozzy's Paranoid and the Stone's Gimme Shelter. Both great originals as well.
As for Dylan, i love some his words but find the voice a bit willowy when exposed to it for too long! 'Love Minus Zero' is fantastic, although i'm certainly no Bobophile. I love the way he rolls his verses over on this one (and on many others i'm sure). ''My love is like some raven at the window with a broken wing' Great Stuff

And if we're looking for really gritty lyrics Gemma, then look no further than the more than sombre song from the scots:
The Devil's Decade Lyrics
by The Skids I never seen December
