Best all time song lyric: Fire in the Head by the Tea Party

submitted by Krupo

1 decade 4 years 10 months 3 weeks ago

Lead singer Jeff Martin's opening lyric of "You" is hailed as the all-time best line ever on Toronto Radio station 102.1 the Edge, in a bit of a running gag on their "awesome lyric challenge."

Awesome.

Per Wikipedia: The Tea Party was a Canadian rock band with blues, progressive rock, Indian and Middle Eastern influences. Active throughout the 1990s up until 2006 when the band broke up, The Tea Party released eight albums on EMI Music Canada, selling 1.6 million records worldwide, and achieving a #1 Canadian single "Heaven Coming Down" in 1999.

The Tea Party toured Canada on twenty-one occasions and Australia on twelve. In November 2002, The Tea Party toured Canada with symphony orchestras reinterpreting a decade's worth of shared songwriting. Their career together ended abruptly in 2005 due to creative differences."

Maybe one day I'll learn how to play guitar...

You Stay
Silent, knowing, always in time
See how this love stays divine
See how this love stays divine

You Stay
Silent, knowing, always in time
See how this love stays divine
See how this love stays divine

Sleep Here
Hoping, knowing, always in time
See how this love stays divine
See how this love stays divine

This is the way, step inside...

...

And I'm waiting When I return to her I find
And I'm waiting Flowers of evil in my mind
And I'm waiting Dancing with fire on the edge
And I'm waiting Remembering all of what she said
And I'm waiting Hoping the rains will wash away
And I'm waiting Hoping a guide will show the way
And I'm waiting Dancing with fire on the edge
And I'm waiting Remembering all of what she said

With this fire in the head...

You Stay
Silent knowing always in time
See how this love stays divine
See how this love stays divine

This is the way, step inside...

And I'm waiting When I return to her I find
And I'm waiting Flowers of evil in my mind
And I'm waiting Dancing with fire on the edge
And I'm waiting Remembering all of what she said
And I'm waiting Hoping the rains will wash away
And I'm waiting Hoping a guide will show the way
And I'm waiting Dancing with fire on the edge
And I'm waiting Remembering all of what she said

With this fire in the head

Sleep Here
Hoping, knowing, always in time
See how this love stays divine
See how this love stays divine

This is the way, step inside...

I'll also add I'm amazed by how much the song lyrics suck when it comes to giving you a line-by-line account of this song. Oh COME ON.
