Words Words Words

Words Word Words.

Spoken words
Written words
Loud words
Soft words

Words of joy
Words of sadness
Words of anger
Words of love

Words that play with words:

“You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you just might find you get what you need"
Do you ever wonder how these Rolling Stone lyrics were meant to be understood. "If you try sometimes . . . you just might find you get what you need" of "If you try . . . sometimes you just might find you get what you need". Same words, different phrasing, different meaning.

“He’s a real no where man”.

What if the Beatles had moved just one letter. Instead of "He's a real no where man" the phrase would read "He's a real now here man". Same letters, different words, different meaning,

Some lyrics I love because of the play with words and the thoughts they express:

"Life is what happens when your busy making other plans."

"Its a chance of a lifetime in a lifetime of chance."

"Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose. Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free"

"People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening, People writing songs that voices never share"

"To dream the impossible dream, to reach the unreachable star!"

The best phrase I ever made up:

To be there and miss it is worse than not being there at all.
