Favorite Lyrics

[redelite]

I was just wondering what some of everyone's favorite lyrics are or just lyrics that you think are cool.. screw it or just lyrics in general. :big-mouth:

I'll go first with a random list of some..


"You, claimed, though, this, time, that, you, would, die for me.. why, then are you, so surprised, when you hear, your own, eulogy" - Tool, Eulogy

"Military Intelligence, two words combined that can't make sense" - Megadeth, Hangar 18

"The greatest lovers were murderers first" - Every Time I Die, Floater

"See me from a mile away, hear me from three or four, I got king kong in the trunk beatin' up the floor" - Lil Wyte, I Got Dat Candy

...also Big Mouth smiley rocks!

[graylensman]

"Pa's a sap/Ma is as selfless as I am/May a moody baby doom a yam" - Weird Al, "Bob"

[Adam]

I keep this as a txt document on my desktop at work - I look at it on "good" days :P

"For them that must obey authority
That they do not respect in any degree
Who despise their jobs, their destinies
Speak jealously of them that are free
Do what they do just to be
Nothing more than something
They invest in"

Dylan - It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)

[graylensman]

Baby, you’re great, you’ve been more than patient
Saying it’s not a catastrophe
But I’m not the girl you once put your faith in
Just someone who looks like me

-Aimee Mann, "Humpty Dumpty"

[Reine__0]

Rain outside my window pouring down but now your gone, my fault i'm sorry.... Looking back the things I made you cry, I guess these this time would really ease goodbye..You made it clear when you say...

I just dont Love you no more.... ;(

-Craig David.

[mattrock23]

We sailed away on a winter's day/ with fates as malleable as clay

Joanna Newsom - Bridges and Balloons

[graylensman]

Louie, Louie, oh - we gotta go now.

[saxx]

"i know your feelin' down and baby, i want to get down with you" - tokyo police club

taking advantage of disheartened girls for the win

[saluta]

"Love will lift us up where we belong, to the eagles sky on a mountains high" also..

"When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who we are..."

[lunatic]

"They can call me crazy if I fail
All the chance that I need
Is one-in-a-million
And then they can call me brilliant
If I succeed
Gravity is nothing to me
I'm moving at the speed of sound
I'm just gonna get my feet wet
Until I drown"

and from the same song

"I'm going to do my best swan dive
Into shark infested waters
I'm going to pull out my tampon
And just start splashing around
Because I dont care if they eat me alive
I've got better things to do than survive
I've got the memory of your warm skin in my hands
And I've got a vision of blue sky and dry land"

and pretty much 99% of all her other songs

(Ani D, who has put an album out every single year for 16 years straight).

[DanontheMoon]

Nine Inch Nails - 'Ruiner'

you had all of them on your side, didn't you? didn't you?
you believed in all your lies, didn't you? didn't you?
the ruiner's got a lot to prove he's got nothing to lose and now he made you believe
the ruiner's your only friend well he's the living end to the cattle he deceives
the raping of the innocent you know the ruiner ruins everything he sees
now the only pure thing left in my f****ing world is wearing your disease
how did you get so big?
how did you get so strong?
how did it get so hard?
how did it get so long?
you had to give them all a sign, didn't you?
you had to covet what was mine, didn't you?
the ruiner's a collector he's an infector serving his **** to his flies
maybe there will come a day when those that you keep blind will suddenly realize
maybe it's a part of me you took to a place I hoped it would never go
and maybe that f***ed me up much more than you'll ever know
how did you get so big?
how did you get so strong?
how did it get so hard?
how did it get so long?
what you gave to me
my perfect ring of scars
you know I can see what you really are
you didn't hurt me nothing can hurt me
you didn't hurt me nothing can stop me now

[TheCanadian]

Get in that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans
The harder I work the faster my money goes

-Elvis

Basically anything my Elvis.

[sekasi]

I once loved a woman, a child I am told.
I gave her my heart, but she wanted my soul.. but don't think twice, it's alright.

Dylan / don't think twice it's alright.

Nothing comes close to Dylan when it comes to lyrics in my book. He's the Robert Frost of our generation.

[TheCanadian]

Morrison's high up there. And he can sing.

Marley, Page/Plant and Neil Young are tops on my list as well.

[graylensman]

Pete Townshend is the top god in my rock pantheon. Even a throwaway is full of emotion and meaning:

I had no reason to be over optimistic/but somehow when you smile I can brave bad weather

[TheCanadian]

Townshend is definitely good. Not tops for me but still great. Behind Blue Eyes is his best in my opinion.

I like Gordon Downie too, if anyone knows who that is.

[igmir]

My favorite lyrics is.

"Love will lift us up where we belong. To the eagles high, on a mountain skies"

[bootiteq]

My favourite lyrics probably come from a late 80's/90's New Zealand band called "The Headless Chickens" (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=163798943) - They range from riveting and morbid through to pop.

Ghost of some cold street.
"theres a toilet smell of sh*t and smoke mixed in the air, and down the hallway someones molesting a saxophone, there is a rumour, the night is full of rotor-blades..."

Do the headless chicken
"A blanket settles on my backyard
The silence makes me lazy
Electricity eats the brain
Fill my head with novocaine
Red rage on a cool blue day and I have to fight to loose my way..."

Donka
"It looks like the life your driving is a pretty neat machine so take me for a ride..."

[redelite]

"My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars"

- Guns N Roses "Civil War"

[sabijon]

hello here's my favorite lyrics..
" I may burn out like a candle and I may pass away, I may fall just like a shooting star, my heart will stay, I'll be yours and yours forever, forever I'll be true to the promise i have made from the day that I found you.."

Forever, by The Ambassadors ^^,

[GrndMasterFlash]

I've been here all day of my life,
Works good and queer I behold with my sight.
Some will share, others do as they like
Some, yuh flesh dem waah tear with dem fork and knife
Some don't care their heart is like ice
After kill another them rejoice but I'm
Holding firm

-Sizzla, Holding Firm

[daph]

"If you drive a car (I'll tax the street)
If you try to sit (I'll tax you seat)
If you get too cold (I'll tax the heat)
If you take a walk (I'll tax your feet)

Cause I'm the taxman!
Yeahhhhhh I'm the Taxmannn
And you're workin' for no one but me..."

"Taxman" -The Beatles

:love:

[Jeff Wheeler]

On the radio
We heard November Rain
That solo's really long
But it's a pretty song
We listened to it twice
'Cause the DJ was asleep

. . .

And on the radio
You hear November Rain
That solo's awful long
But it's a good refrain
You listen to it twice
'Cause the DJ is asleep
On the radio
(oh oh oh)
On the radio
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio

I love the description of the solo: "really long" and "awful long." :P

[zennith]

One of my favorite music lyrics would be from Beyonce's "If I were a Boy"

....If I were a Boy, i think i could understand,
....how it feels to love a girl,I swear I'll be a better man.
.... I'd listen to her,coz I know how it feels,
.....when you lost the 1 you wanted coz ur taken hir for granted,
.....and everything has got destroyed.


I like the lyrics itself,it goes out to all the man out there!

[irving25]

We never sang my song, just for you on my own,
My last night here with you, maybe yes maybe no.
I kinda like it your way, how you shiny stare your eyes on me
Did you ever know, that I have mine on you.

[TheCanadian]

Give me a bottle of your very best.
Cause I've got a problem I'm gonna drink off my chest.
I'm gonna spend the night gettin' down.
Cause that woman that I had wrapped around my finger just come unwound.

That woman that I had wrapped around my finger just a come unwound.
She kicked my out of the house and tonight I'm whiskey bound.
Well I'm gonna be the drunkest fool in town.
Cause that woman that I had wrapped around my finger just a come unwound.


-George Strait

[erin peter]

I'm really a fan of Taylor Swift, for the way she carries and uses a lyrics, denotes what kind of girl she is.. It seems like she was portraying a princess.. And I'd just love it..! I love dolls...so much..

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said, marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes

Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

"...The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from being seen,"
"...That's just because he does want to, turn in to something mean..."
"Takes a woman like your kind to find...the man in me..."
"and oh, what a wonderful feeling, just to know that you are near..."
"oh, really gets me really... from my toes, up to my ears.."


and if you can tell me where that's from... well... cool

[a tadster]

Also, of course, my fav.....

"Spend my days with a woman in kind,"
"smoke my stuff and drank, all my wine..."
"made up my mind, make a new start.. going to California with an achin' in my heart.."
"someone told me there's a girl out there, with love in her eyes and flowers, in her hair..."


going to California ZEP!

[ShadowViper]

Turn my vision to the black night sky
Losing focus and I don't know why
Empty bottle and a razor blade
No use cleaning up the mess I made

Suicide

Save your speeches cause I've done my time
Unborn fantasy that drills my mind
Feel my energy it pours from me
One light far away is all I see



Can't you see I'm easily bothered by persistence
One step from lashing out at you...
You want in to get under my skin
And call yourself a friend
I've got more friends like you
What do I do?

Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes, who I am, where I've been
Belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself, by yourself
Stay away from me
a lesson learned in life
Known from the dawn of time

Respect, walk

Run your mouth when I'm not around
It's easy to achieve
You cry to weak friends that sympathize
Can you hear the violins playing you song?
Those same friends tell me your every word

Are you talking to me?
No way punk

"We only come out at night.. the days their just to bright, that's why we only come out at night..."

[eco]

If ever you're in my arms again this time I love you much better
If ever you're in my arms again this time i hold you forever
this time will never end...will never end

[graylensman]

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.

and I said romeo take me somewhere we can be alone. I'll be waiting...
cause you'll be the prince and i'll be the princes it's a love story baby just say yes..

[graylensman]

^ So, in response to the above...

When the routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high
But emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways,
Taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed,
Our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again

Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings exposed?
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just can't function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again

"Shall I stay here at the zoo, or should I go and change my point of view for other ugly scenes?" - Alphaville, Big in Japan

[PsychE]

Your body's warm
But you are not
You give a little
Not a lot
You coup your love
Until we kiss
You're all I want
But not like this
I'm watching you disappear
But you, you were never here

It's only your shadow
Never yourself
It's only your shadow
Nobody else
It's only your shadow
Filling the room
Arriving too late
And leaving too soon
And leaving too soon

[TheCanadian]

I don't know how to handle
The dream you left behind.
It's like a lighted candle
Burning up my mind.
At least I'm happy knowing
what love was all about.
You'll always be a fire I can't put out.

(I miss you miss you)
Hello there the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
And we'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never end

Where are you and I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness comes creeping on so haunting everytime
And as I stared I counted the webs from all the spiders
catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
And hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight
stop this pain tonight

Don't waste your time on me your already the voice inside my head

I miss you miss you

[ChrisTurn]

All the love songs have beautiful lyrics...

[a tadster]

"Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars fill my dreams.
I am a traveler in both time and space to be where i have been."

Kashmir , ZEP

If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you
When mountains crumble to the sea
there will still be you and me
Kind a-woman, I give you my all, kind a-woman, nothing more

Thank You, ZEP

[Supertrash]

Bullet For My Valentine - All these things I hate
Once more I say goodbye, to you
Things happen but we don't really know why
If it's supposed to be like this,
Why do most of us ignore the chance to miss?

Torn apart at the seams and my dreams turn to tears,
I'm not feeling this situation
Run away try to find a safe place you can hide
It's the best place to be when you're feeling like..

Me...(me!)
Yeah...(yeah!)
All these things I hate revolve around
Me...(me!)
Yeah...(yeah!)
Just back off before I snap

Once more you tell those lies, to me
Why can't you just be straight up with honesty?
When you say those things in my ear,
Why do you always tell me what you wanna hear?

Wear your heart on your sleeve, make things hard to believe,
I'm not feeling this situation
Run away try to find a safe place you can hide
It's the best place to be when you're feeling like..

Me...(me!)
Yeah...(yeah!)
All these things I hate revolve around
Me...(me!)
Yeah...(yeah!)
Just back off before I snap and you'll see...(see!)
Me...(me!)
All these things I hate revolve around
Me...(me!)
Yeah...(yeah)
Just back off before I snap...

Torn apart at the seams and my dreams turn to tears,
I'm not feeling this situation
Run away try to find a safe place you can hide
It's the best place to be when you're feeling like me...

[ngseo]

I'm loving Sara Bareilles' song lyrics, especially 'Gravity.'
Here is the nice part I like:
"Something always brings me back to you. It never takes too long."

[ChrisTurn]

Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy.
There's nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you
in time - It's easy.

All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.

Hello all

So soft, and Slow
Never knew a girl

Got me spendin my dough
And yo
If you would've seen
What I seen on that pole
Just know

That I was wrong
For fallin' in lovee
I was wrong
For fallin' in love
(They always say
Don't love a ho)
I was wrong
For fallin' in love
(Don't do it yo')
I was wrong

(They always say
Don't love a ho)

I'm guessing theres not a lot of reggae fans here. But I love this song "man next door" by Dennis Brown. I like when lyrics are a little concrete, and don't just go on about opinions, views and generally abstract things.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q87PHE7wYU

There is a man that live next door
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
And he gets me down...

He gets in so late at night
Always a fuss and fight
Always a fuss and fight
All through the night

I've got to get away from here
This is not a place for me to stay
I've got to take my family
We'll find a quiet place

Hear the pots and pans they fall
Bang against my wall
Bang against my wall
No rest at all

He gets in so late at night
Always a fuss and fight
Always a fuss and fight
All through the night

I've got to get away from here
This is not a place for me to stay
I've got to take my family
We'll find a quiet place

[NamikazeMinato]

A willow it weeps today
A breeze from the distance is calling your name
Unfurl your black wings and wait
Across the horizons its coming to sweep you away...

Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird Fly way
May you never be broken again.

The fragile cannot endure
The wrecked and the jaded a plcae so impure
The statics of this cruel world
Cause some birds to fly long before they've seen the day.

Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird fly away
May you never be broken again

Ascending you find your resistance
You know that you'va made such a difference
In all you leave behind
You'll live to the end

The cycle of sufferings goes on
But the memories of you stay strong
Someday I too will fly
And find you again

Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird fly away
May you never be broken again

He aint got laid in a month of Sundays,
Caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies,
He aint too sharp but he gets things done,
Drinks his beer like it's oxygen,
But he's my baby, I don't mean maybe,
I'm never gonna let him go.

wouldnt it be nice.wonderful.

[smithshn]

Everything now is pre-packaged and pristine, there's no soul in music, everything is recorded perfectly with no mistakes, no poor sound, no hiss, nothing, it's all perfect all the time, and it's grey and dull.Accept the fact that music is changing.
Who says music has to be made with manual instruments? Maybe that's how it worked in your day, but today, when technology's made it possible to make songs, things are different.

[printing.host]

favorite lyrics are...
WISH I was your lover..... by enrique...

Can you hear me ? by Enrique...

[robertbracewell]

I am a big fan of Akon and also my favorite lyric is the lyric of Right Now song.

It's been so long
that I haven't seen your face
Im tryna be strong
But the strength I have is washing away
It wont be long before i get you by my side
And just hold you, tease you, squeeze you till
I was fill all my mind

I wanna make up right now now now
I wanna make up right now now now
Wish we never broke up right now now now
we need to link up right now now now

I wanna make up right now now now
I wanna make up right now now now
Wish we never broke up right now now now
we need to link up right now now now

Girl I know mistake were made between us two
And we show our eyes that now even says somethings weren't true
watch you go and haven't seen my girl since then
why can it be the way it was
coz you were my homie lover friend


[Right Now Lyrics On http://www.elyricsworld.com/ ]

Lonely im so lonely,
I have nobody,
To call my owwnnn
Im so lonely, im mr. Lonely

To call my owwnnn
Im so lonely,

Yo this one here goes out to all my playas out there ya kno got to have one good girl whose always been there like ya
Kno took all the bull**** then one day she cant take it no more and decides to leave

I wont up in the middle of the night and I noticed my girl wasn't by my side, coulda sworn I was dreamin, for her I was
Feenin, so I hadda take a little ride, back tracking ova these few years, tryna figure out wat I do to make it go bad, cuz
Ever since my girl left me, my whole left life came crashin
