What are your favorite lyrics in songs?

You can just say the song name if you like all the lyrics, or just part of the lyrics that you like.

Personally, I love the beginning of Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand.

So if you're lonely
You know I'm here waiting for you
I'm just a crosshair
I'm just a shot away from you
And if you leave here
You leave me broken, shattered, I lie
I'm just a crosshair
I'm just a shot, then we can die

Oh, I know I won't be leaving here with you

I can't remember which Viktor Vaughn song it is but:

"V bring the beef like a trucker to Fudrucker. Delivery to all yall muf***as and bloodsuckas."

It makes me laugh every time.

Agalloch's To Drown lyrics are incredble

They escaped the weight of darkness
to forge a path into the marrow of the spirit
They chose to drown in a deeper vacancy
an emptyness that quells the null
a pool for the forgotten

They escaped the weight of darkness
to drown in another...

But you'd have to hear the beginning of the album because this is just the conclusion to it

"It's all about the he says she says BULLS**T"

Limp Bizkit-Break stuff

Amongst many lyrics, one that stands out for me is the opening verse to Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt":

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

"My mind's filled with torture.
My body's in pain.
But the needle is warm
As it sinks in my vain."

Junkie's Prayer, Statler Brothers.

Don't lie you know what song this is from....


"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Money don't grow on trees.
I got bills to pay,
I got mouths to feed,
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
I know I can't slow down,
I can't hold back,
Though you know, I wish I could.
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good".

Edit: Another line from that same song:

"Confirmation of your worse fears.Ever since his first years had thirst for beers."

Radiohead - Paranoid Android

Please could you stop the noise? I'm tryna get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's there? (I MAY BE PARANOID BUT NOT AN ANDROID)
What's there? (I MAY BE PARANOID BUT NOT AN ANDROID)

When I am king you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's there? (I MAY BE PARANOID BUT NO ANDROID)
What's there? (I MAY BE PARANOID BUT NO ANDROID)

Ambition makes you look very ugly
Kicking squeeling Gucci little piggy

YOU DON'T REMEMBER YOU DON'T REMEMBER
WHY DON'T YOU REMEMBER MY NAME?
OFF WITH HIS HEAD MAN OFF WITH HIS HEAD MAN
WHY DON'T HE REMEMBER MY NAME?
I guess he does...

Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great heigh, heigh

Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great heigh, heigh

That's it sir, you're leaving
The crackle of pigskin
The dust and the screaming
The yuppies networking
The panic, the vomit
The panic, the vomit
God loves his children
God loves his children, yeah!

Every lyric ever written by Neil Peart...

Don't lie you know what song this is from....


"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Money don't grow on trees.
I got bills to pay,
I got mouths to feed,
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
I know I can't slow down,
I can't hold back,
Though you know, I wish I could.
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good".

Davulao

I saw that band live and they were easily the worst performance of all the bands there. :|

My favorite lyrics are by the band that had the best performance at the same concert. :)

Oh, that summer we met, only fools could forget

Just how perfect a woman could be

By the time she was late, we had both set a date

In a place where she would marry me

But a Gringo meant shame to their proud family name

And her father forbade it to be

So in less than a week they found her by the creek

And her parents blamed it all on me

The best song ever written... "Bitter Sweet Symphony" by The Verve:

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah
No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold , I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no

Well, I've never prayed,
But tonight I'm on my knees, yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind , I feel free now
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold , I am here with my mold
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
Trying to make ends meet, trying to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah
You know I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no,no,no,no,no
I can't change my mold, no,no,no,no,no
I can't change my mold, no,no,no,no,no

"That's life
That's what all the people say
You're riding high in April
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June

I said that's life
And as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks
Stomping on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down
'Cause this fine old world
It keeps spinning around

I've been a puppet, a pauper,
A pirate, a poet,
A pawn and a king,
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing
Each time I find myself
Flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race"

Good song.

Speech is my hammer, bang the world into shape
Now let it fall... (Hungh!!)
My restlessness is my nemesis
It's hard to really chill and sit still
Committed to page, I write rhymes
Sometimes won't finish for days
Scrutinize my literature, from the large to the miniature
I mathematically add-minister
Subtract the wack
Selector, wheel it back, I'm feeling that
(Ha ha ha) From the core to the perimeter black,
You know the motto
Stay fluid even in staccato

MOS DEF - Hip Hop

"That's life

Ah, Frank Sinatra. I remember hearing that song on Tony Hawk's years ago, andI still sing it sometimes in the shower.

U2 - So Cruel

We crossed the line
Who pushed who over?
It doesn't matter to you
It matters to me

We're cut adrift
But still floating
I'm only hanging on
To watch you go down,
My love

I disappeared in you
You disappeared from me
I gave you everything you ever wanted
It wasn't what you wanted

The men who love you, you hate the most
They pass through you like a ghost
They look for you, but your spirit is in the air
Baby, you're nowhere

Ohhhh
You say in love there are no rules
Ohhhh
Sweetheart, you're so cruel

Desperation is a tender trap
It gets you every time
You put your lips to her lips
To stop the lie

Her skin is pale like God's only dove
Screams like an angel for your love
Then she makes you watch her from above
And you need her like a drug

Ohhhh
You say in love there are no rules
Ohhhh
Sweetheart, you're so cruel

She wears my love
Like a see-through dress
Her lips say one thing
Her movements something else

Oh love
Like a screaming flower
Love
Dying every hour

And you don't know if it's fear or desire
Danger the drug that takes you higher?
Head of heaven
Fingers in the mire

Her heart is racing, you can't keep up
The night is bleeding like a cut
Between the horses of love and lust
We are trampled underfoot

Ohhhh
You say in love there are no rules
Ohhhh
Sweetheart, you're so cruel

Ohhhh
To stay with you I'd be a fool
Ohhhh
Sweetheart, you're so cruel

River of Dreams by Billy Joel

We all live in the ocean

We all start in the stream

We're all carried along

by the River of Dreams

in the middle of the night

Hoodoo by Muse! One of my favorite bands! :D Annnd the second song is Exogenesis Part 1: Overture :)

This is more than a pulse beneath my wrist
or a beat beneath my ribs. This is something
that cant be given away! Cause what's life
for some is not right for some but either
way we can overcome and not be killed by
our own mistakes we can't let this be our death
because our differences will be our expenses
too relieve us and achieve something for us
to believe we have been put up on the shelf
it's such a sad day when we need to save each
other from ourselves.


*Chorus*
Rest assured that with a heart that's pure
well be victorious and not let our hate
get the best of us

Rest assured that with a heart that's pure
well be victorious and not let our hate
get the best of us

MOVE!

Repeat Chorus

Aus (Out)

Theres also the song called "Cliffs of Gallipoli" from Sabaton. Very good song.

The sledge my tool to torture
As it pounds down on your forehead

Eyes bulging from their sockets
With every swing of my mallet
I smash your *** head in, until brains seep in
through the cracks, blood does leak
distorted beauty, catastrophe
Steaming slop, splattered all over me

Lifeless body, slouching dead lecherous abcess, where you once had a head


Avoiding the prophecy of my new found lust
You will never live again, soon your life will end
I'll see you die at my feet, eternally I smash your face
facial bones collapse as I crack your skull in half

Crushing, cranial, contents

Draining the snot, I rip out the eyes
Squeezing them in my hands nerves are incised
Peeling the flesh off the bottom of my weapon
Involuntarily pulpifying facial regions

Or, as heard in the actual song, RHODJORRDHODJIHIRHOJOOOR.

They're disturbing as hell, which is why they're awesome. This must've been what had been playing on Jack Torrance's mind all along!

I guess it's time I run

Far far away

Find comfort in pain

All pleasure is the same it just.....keeps me from trouble

Hides my true shape...... like Dorian Gray

I've heard what they say ....but I'm not here for trouble

It's more than just words, it's just ....tears and rain

The Beatles - 'A Day In The Life'

I read the news today, oh boy!
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well, I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph

He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from The House of Lords

I saw a film today, oh boy!
The English army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had to look
Having read the book

I'd love to turn you on...

I woke up, fell out of bed
I dragged a comb across my head
I found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up I noticed I was late

I grabbed my coat, and found my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Made my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream

I read the news today, oh boy!
Four-thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall

I'd love to turn you on...

In west philadelphia, born and raised...

:P

seriously though, this:

The outsider by A Perfect Circle

Disconnect and self-destruct
One bullet at a time
What's your hurry,
Everyone will have his day to die

If you choose to pull the trigger
Should your drama prove sincere
Do it somewhere far away from here

also see sig.

In the days of darkness men feared not the sword and the lance
Nor did he fear the beast of fire... He feared...
THE AXEMAN!!
