Lyrics That Prove Phoebe Buffay Is A Songwriting Genius

Phoebe talked about everything through song — all human life is contained in her lyrics. For the show's 20th anniversary we're looking back at the lines that prove Central Perk's customers had no idea how great they had it. Watch The Nation’s Favourite Friends Episodes Sunday from 10.30am on Comedy Central.

1. On love:

2. On seeing the light in the darkness:

3. On acceptance of those we love:

4. Capturing the essence of daily life in four lines:

5. On the circle of life (and it moves us all)

6. On human relationships:

7. On loving one another:

8. On the finite nature of our time:

9. On making mistakes:

10. On being caught in a rut:

11. On the many colours of our beautiful world:

12. On the wonder of nature:

13. On achieving great feats despite our size:

14. On new life and opportunities:

15. On truly seeing the world:

16. On just letting go of the stuff that doesn't matter:

17. On travelling to foreign lands and learning new customs:

18. On holding on to the one you love:

19. And most importantly: stop blaming yourself.
