Sharyl's Top 10 countdown

1. William Shakespeare - Venus And Adonis
2. Mina Loy - Lunar Baedecker
3. Jewel Kilcher - Untitled
4. Anthony Keidis - Under The Bridge (Ok this one can be abit dodgy, but the song IS originally written as a poem by Keidis, and only made into song by producer Rick Rubin, so technically, it is a poem. XD)
5. Cliff Burton - To Live Is To Die
   When a man lies he murders
   Some part of the world
   These are the pale deaths
   Which men miscall their lives
   All this I cannot bear
   To witness any longer
   Cannot the kingdom of salvation
   Take me home
   
6. Oscar Wilde - The Harlot's House
7. Andrew Marvell - To His Coy Mistress
8. Marilyn Manson - Hotel Hallucinogen
9. Elsa Knöpke - Paint Me Ugly
   
   Don't wanna feel your skin recoil from mine
   Don't paint me ugly darling I can do that by myself.
   
   Walk on the water.
   Walk on my pain and find nothing on the inside
   Don't close your eyes to love me, don't despise me
   Come on and hurt me, just
   Don't paint me ugly, I can do that by myself.
   
   I know, oh baby I know I ain't no rose.
   But you're my life and you can make me what I want to be
   You can paint me burning in the sun,
   Come on and hurt me, just
   Don't paint me ugly darling I can do that by myself
   
   You can fool my senses, and rub my edges
   Transform me into a bouquet of dying flowers
   Colour-wash me in a black thundercloud
   Come on and hurt me, just
   Don't paint me ugly baby I can do that by myself.
   
   I see it in the sad eyes of old lovers
   She has turned to dust and her lovely body fade to grey
   I gave my youth to the seasons
   Come on and hurt me, just
   Don't paint me ugly darling I can do that by myself.
   
   Don't wanna lurk beside you like a shadow
   Don't want to see you turn away or walk down darkened streets.
   I want to walk beside you in the sunshine
   Come on and hurt me, just
   Don't paint me ugly baby I can do that my myself.
10. Wong May - Only The Moon
