Also, once I heard what the character in FCOL is singing about I was completely blown away by those lyrics too. Especially the last part of the song, "For taking in the rain..." and so on.

That's funny, yesterday I thought about thees lyrics and thought they were great and now There is this topic.
Like a sinner-part is one of my fav's. Also the first verse from Bat: the describing of the scene.
The chorus from FCOl is so beautiful. Back in the eigties when I was a teeneager I always wrote the chorus on my English Exams when I had some time left. When I was 16 and had my first "love" I translatend the chorus into Dutch and send it to her in a letter ( romantic fool i was in these days
)
- the chorus from Love her for both of us and also "i am gonna take her every moment that she wanted to live/I am gonna give her everything you always wanted to give.
- For all those promises we promised to keep- they won't be kept anymore/ Read em and weep.
- Bless all the girls...Kill you if you don't come back. Absolutely as big as any Shakespearelyric!
- the last part from objects "I never know where she disappeared". Somehow that is a simple but great part.
Besides steinman lyrics, I like Sarah Durkees lyrics. "Once a beutiful Miss America" is an awesome lyric. "I can hear the planet groaning like a broken down machine rusted with the guilty tears of fallen kings and queens"
"down on the corner there's a grocery boy stuffin boxes fulla hungry dreams. Boy, the girl can write!
