Your favorite verse in any song......

Try to keep it sorta short. Doesn't have to be your favorite song, though. Name the song and band then write the verse. I'm interested to see what sort of lyrics you guys like. If you have too many favorites just pick one.........b/c I do.

Pearl Jam

Satans Bed

Who made, who made up...made up the myth

That we were born to be covered in bliss

Who set the standard born to be rich

Fine example, skinny little b----

Roll up roll models, roll models in blood

get some flesh to stick, so they look like us

Icrap and I stink, why don't you join the club

I'd stop and talk but I'm already in love.

What if I had the power to gather all of my favorite emcees

With the illest comic book characters and they became arch enemies?

Inconcievable? Unbelievable? Yet as wild as it seems

The Emperor and Stan Lee would coach the two opposing teams

Keep it clean no bats no gats guns no interfearance

Comic book characters would go head up with raw lyrics

Now I take, whoever might be on break from doin tours

And have them signed up for the Last Emperor's Secret Wars

the last emperor- secret wars, basically a rap pitting rappers against comic book heroes, if your into underground hip hop, you gotta check it out and more from the last emperor

Streetlight Manifesto- A better place, a better time

Looking through the paper today

looking for a specific page

Don't wanna find her full name followed by dates
because when i left her alone
she made a sound, like a moan
"You're known by everyone for everything you've done"
F*** buying flowers for graves
I'd rather buy you a one way non-stop
to anywhere
find anyone
do anything
forget and start again, love
She said she won't go
(and that's that)
It hurts too much to stand by
you've got to stop and draw a line
Everyone here has to choose a side tonight
the moment of truth is haunting you
Don't forget your family
regardless what you choose to do
You can't decide
and they're all screaming "why won't you?"
I'll start the engine but I can't take this ride for you
I'll draw your bath and I'll load your gun
But I hope so bad that you'll bathe and hunt"

Pink Floyd Time

Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain, you are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.

And then one day you find, ten years have got behind you, no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

I will just post the song lyrics (not that long) and bold the parts I really love :P. This is Happiness by Our Lady Peace.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I confess
Everyone is overweight
And I'm obsessed
Talking is just masturbating
Without the mess
Addiction leaves you sad today & unimpressed
I can't remember all the names
Everyone you meet today
Is just so f***ing vain

Bored again by happiness
All those friends I've (die) lost in there

I'm upset
Happiness is not a fish
That you can catch
Imagination can't resist
The laziness
That pins you down, get on your knees
Everyone you meet today
Is feeling useless & ashamed

---------------------------------------------------

These are from 3 different songs.

"Loneliness is not a phase" - Angry Chair by Alice In Chains

"Just a speck in the spectrum, insignificant am I" - Insignificant by Nevermore

"Indifference be thy name" - Born by Nevermore

My family tree consisted of drug dealers, thugs an killers/
Strugglin' known to hustle, screamin f*** they feelings/
I got advice from my father all he told me was this/
N**** get off your a$$ if you plan to get rich/
Theres 10 rules to the game, but I'll share with you 2/
Know, n***** gonna hate you for whatever you do/
Now rule one, get your cash on M.O.B./
Thats money over b****es cause they breed envy/
Now rule 2 is a hard one, watch for phonies/
Keep your enemies close n**** watch your homies/
Seemed a little un-important, when he told me I smiled/
Picture jewels being handed to an innocent child/
I never knew one day I would live by these rules...

a few more that I love

Let it Be-Beatles:

"And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
there will be an answer, let it be."

Pursuit of Happiness-Kid Cudi:

"I don't care, hand on the wheel, drivin drunk, I'm doin' my thing
Rollin the Midwest side and out livin' my life getting' out dreams
People told me slow my road I'm screaming out f*** that
Imma do just what I want lookin' ahead no turnin' back"

The second verse in 'Afraid of me' by Twiztid

"I am my own worst enemy
I'm not the smartest mother****er and s***, I don't pretend to be
And why I am the way I am is not a mystery
My mind's not in proper working order or in therapy
Deranged, confused and mentally abused
Life's been hanging on a string so what the f*** I got to lose?
And what the f*** I got to prove to you?
If you don't know me by now, you'll never know me
You can put that on my real homies
I got problems and they stack like bills
And I relate to the broken, bleeding heart love killed
And I waited in the shadows, awake in the dark
Hoping to talk to the passed on, I'm falling apart
I'm such a mess and decisive, I'm fading away
I'm out of touch with society and living today
Never relying on my sanity, I threw it away
To become the maniac that's got your attention today"

The second verse in 'Afraid of me' by Twiztid

"I am my own worst enemy

dracula_16

"Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant tide
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine".

The lyrics aren't broken up into individual verses, so I'll just paste it and bold my favorite part.

Codeword: Uprising - Orphaned Land

[spoiler] Thy castles we shall storm
Hierarchy of light is taking form
Enemies fall as dawn is born
Strike fear, all units act as one
Thin red line, the power of man
Ours is the path of light
Redemption through superior fire power
Mirrors shall crack now is the hour
Sing in praise
Thy dark caress
In thee I wait
Lie still
Lie still
Rage engulfs my very being
A holy fire burns in your mind
God is perceived as a thing that's so vile
End lives of pure men, and their beloved wives
Sons & daughters they hold dear you'll defile
In thy sin you shall dwell
No humanity, a landscape of hell
See now the depths into which you have fell
Into
Death
Ending life, blood flows again in the river Nile
We are the terrorists of light
Shadows that haunt the innermost depths of your soul
Unseen to most
We are the sparks that shine so bright
Shall not live on bended knee, shall not lay down our arms
While we stand
These iron shields are raised, armed brothers together we stand
Holding our ground, no quarter is given, no quarter is asked
Enter the fray, we fight not for gain but for freedom - not land
Storming the walls of ancient stone, seven times we surround
Till they crush to the ground in a thunderous sound
O brothers lets drink to the battles ahead
Remember the fallen ones and the souls of the dead
Memories linger of these wars in which we fought and bled
Sing in praise
Thy endless rage
In thee it waits
Lies still
Lies still
Right and wrong they seem too clear
A target you wish for now beckons so near
God is within us all, what we hold dear
Ending of life is the ending of fear
Sons and daughters they shall end our tears
In thy belief
No hate you feel, but the will to forgive
See now the truth, the one which you believe
Into
Desire
Ending the storm that still rages inside
We are the terrorists of light
Prometheus to all, torches that burn in mighty halls
Shadows denied
We are the stars that shine so bright
Alpha and omega are one, the yin and the yang intertwined
Light a match in the dark and watch it burn as the fires grow
In the veins of the world we are the blood that pumps and flows
Shadows reflected on fallen walls when the beacon is lit
The masks that we wear are the hearts on our sleeves
Enter the sacrament lead us
Not to a path of deceit [/spoiler]

Lynyrd Skynyrd: Free Bird

"If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change."

Kanye West: Heartless

"Talk and Talk and Talk and Talk
Baby let's just knock it off
They don't know what we been thru
They don't know bout me and you
So I got somethin new to see
And you just gon keep hatin me
And we just gon be enemies
I know you can't believe
I could just leave it wrong
And you can't make it right
I'm gon take off tonight into the night."

The Beatles: Let It Be

"And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be."

Taylor Swift: Hey Stephen

"Hey Stephen I could give you fifty reasons why I should be the one you choose.
All those other girls, well they're beautiful but would they write a song for you. (Ha Ha)" that laugh is too cute.

The Best Days

"There is a video I found from back when I was three.
You set up a paint set in the kitchen
And you're talking to me.
It's the age of princesses and pirate ships
And the seven dwarves.
Daddy Smiled and you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world."

Maroon 5: Sunday Morning

"Sunday morning rain is falling
Steal some covers share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road get up and go if I knew
That someday it would bring me back to you
That someday it would bring me back to you"

"But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
Sunday morning rain is falling and I'm calling out to you
Singing someday it'll bring me back to you
Find a way to bring myself home to you"

Maroon 5: I Can't Lie

"I must have been a fool
To love you so hard for so long
So much stronger than before
But so much harder to move on."

And there's tons more.... Just too tire to copy them all out.

Oh here she comes

Watch out boy she'll chew you up

Oh here she comes

She's a maneater

Oh here she comes

Watch out boy she'll chew you up

Oh here she comes

She's a maneater

Love it

"Glittering Prizes and Endless Compromises Shatter The Illusion of Integrity" - Spirit of Radio by Rush

Limelight and Marathon have great lyrics by Rush, also...

Nirvana

Breed

I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, care if I'm sold

I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind, mind, don't have a mind

Get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, way, away from your home

I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, fraid, GHOST!

Even if you have, even if you need.

I don't mean to stare, we don't have to breed.

We can plants a house, we can build a tree.

I don't even care, we can have all three

Between the Buried and me: "There will always be a Marfa."

I'd go with Gaudeamus Igitur.

Gaudeamus igitur, iuvenes dum sumus!
Post iucundam iuventutem,
post molestam senectutem,
nos habebit humus,
nos habebit humus.

Vita nostra brevis est, brevi finietur.
Vita nostra brevis est, brevi finietur.
Venit mors velociter, rapit nos atrociter,
nemini parcetur, nemini parcetur!

(...)

Can't pick just one, but i'll list my favorite verses in songs.

All-American Rejects - I Wanna

I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Everyday but all I have is time
Our loves the perfect crime

Skid Row - I Remember You

We spent the summer with the top rolled down
Wished ever after would it be like this
You said I love you babe, without a sound
I said I'd give up my life for just one kiss
I'd live for your smile and die for your kiss

A cloud lets go of the moon
Her ribbons are all out of tune
She is skating on the ice
In a glass in the hands of a man
That she kissed on a train
And the children are all gone into town
To get candy and we are alone in the house here
And your eyes fall down on me

- Barcarolle, Tom Waits.

Smooth Criminal

As He Came Into The Window
It Was The Sound Of A Crescendo
He Came Into Her Apartment
He Left The Bloodstains On The Carpet
She Ran Underneath The Table
He Could See She Was Unable
So She Ran Into The Bedroom
She Was Struck Down, It Was Her Doom

Annie Are You OK?
So, Annie Are You OK
Are You OK, Annie
Annie Are You OK?
So, Annie Are You OK
Are You OK, Annie
Annie Are You OK?
So, Annie Are You OK?
Are You OK, Annie?
Annie Are You OK?
So, Annie Are You Ok, Are You Ok, Annie?

Space Game by MC Lars. It has some of the greatest lyrics ever.

You can take away my space ship
You can take away my space suit
You can even take away my space lasers
But you can never, ever take away my space game
I broke through the carbonite that's how I got free
Jabba, back up, because there's no stopping me
Post-modern player, sample-tastic.
Flow's ekphrastic, I get drastic
Hey, watch the plastic, yo, I name check
And leave you drowned in space oobleck
Player of the future, watch me go!
Sith girls scream when they hear my flow
These alien chicks reproduce with spores
So I go where no MC has gone before
Hey Fry, look, we can still be friends
I won't ask Leela out again. Sci-fi, I try, I fly solo
Shoot your landspeeder up just like Bolo
"What's with Lars, and what's with his name?"
Never mind that ish, 'cause I've got space game!

[CHORUS]
Darth Maul can't stop me (I'm on fire tonight)
Boba Fett can't stop me (I'm on fire tonight)
Vader can't stop me (I'm on fire tonight)
Space player bowling up like dynamite
Dr. Smith can't stop me (I'm on fire tonight)
Q can't stop me (I'm on fire tonight)
Even Hal can't stop me (I'm on fire tonight)

Because I've got space game and it feels all right
In 2112, all the players play on
Everyone bumps Rush and that "Tom Sawyer" song
I took the red pill, and high fived Neo
Hey what should I sample? "If it sells pick Dio!"
Yo Morpheus, look, you're a real cyber punk
But your friend Trinity has junk in the trunk
And I'm from Mars, and she's from Venus
She has ovaries and I have a light saber
'Cause I get more play than Captain Kirk
He found out and went berserk like a jealous jerk
But no puny Vulcan death grip can paralyze me
I said beam me up Scotty, and then I got free
Princess Leia said that my flows are tight
So I said I supposed she can spend the night
A long time ago in a galaxy far away...
MC Lars got some space age play!

[CHORUS]
T1000 can't stop me (I'm on fire tonight)
Magneto can't stop me (I'm on fire tonight)
Even Zod can't stop me (I'm on fire tonight)
It's tight, don't even try to bite, the sci-fi ****I incite
Mr. Spock can't stop me (I'm on fire tonight)
The Wrath of Khan can't stop me (I'm on fire tonight)
The Borg can't stop me (I'm on fire tonight)
Because I've got space game and it feels all right

[MC Lars:]Yo DJ Hal! Bring that beat back
[Hal 9000:]I'm sorry Lars, I'm afraid I can't do that
[MC Lars:]So what can you do?
[Hal 9000:]I can play this awesome guitar solo

This song is futuristic, so hardcore
Hey T.S. Eliot! Please shut the door
Because modernism is so pass
The postmodern revolution is here to stay
In the house tonight because of Frank Lloyd Wright
The bass goes "boom!" like dynamite
"Yo, Wright was a modernist!"
Yeah I know that, all right,
But you can't rhyme "Bob Venturi' with "dynamite"
See it's Guernica Part II when I storm the stage
I draw fans like Warhol draws soup cans on the page
Did I say postmodern? Well, that was a lie!
I've been post-postmodern since junior high

[CHORUS]
Ezra Pound can't stop me (I'm on fire tonight)
Virginia Wolfe can't stop me (I'm on fire tonight)
Joseph Conrad can't stop me (I'm on fire tonight)
I excite the modern mind like a ray of light
Franz Kafka can't stop me (I'm on fire tonight)
Wallace Stevens can't stop me (I'm on fire tonight)
E.E. Cummings can't stop me (I'm on fire tonight)
I've got postmodern game and it feels all right

Yes I'm an alien, I come from outer space
Yes I'm an alien, I came to rock this place

She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery
For the girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins

--"Fake Plastic Trees" by Radiohead

"The Crowing" by Coheed and Cambria

"Dear Ambellina, the Prise wishes you to watch over me
Dear Ambellina, the Prise wishes you to watch over me

I fought the decisions that call and lost
My mark has the revelant piece in this
I will come reformed

In short, for the murders of those I court
I bless the hour that holds your fall
I will kill you all!"

Even though that's two verses (I split up the last one).
I think I like it so much because the song constantly changes for about 5 minutes, then builds up to this point.

A cloud lets go of the moon
Her ribbons are all out of tune
She is skating on the ice
In a glass in the hands of a man
That she kissed on a train
And the children are all gone into town
To get candy and we are alone in the house here
And your eyes fall down on me

- Barcarolle, Tom Waits.

Soulja Boy tell em.

Uhh, b**** I look like Goku.
B**** I look like Vegeta, im hoppin out that oldschool.
'64 Impala, swagged up.
B**** I'm poppin bottles. Manga.


B**** I look like Goku, pulled up in my old school.
F***** up that protoss, super saiyan swagger.
B***** on my d*** because all my albums platinum.
I don't give a f*** because I'm swagged up to the maximuuuuuuuum.

But seriously it would be Mr Brightside

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Turning through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside

"Ignorance" - Paramore

If I'm a bad person, you don't like me
Well, I guess I'll make my own way
It's a circle, a mean cycle
I can't excite you anymore

Where's your gavel? Your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me
Well, sentence me to another life

"Easy Target" - blink-182

She's got a mission, and I'm collateral damage. (That's what she wanted)
She's the flower that you place on my casket. (That's what she wanted)
Savor the moment cause the memory's fleeting.
Take a photograph, as the last train is leaving.

(This Photograph is Proof by Taking Back Sunday)

So, We're talkin forever and you almost feel better

but better's no excuse for tonight

you see its never bad enough to just leave or give up

but its never good enough to feel right

Now I'm lying on the table

with everything you said

"It will all catch up eventually"

well it caught up and honestly

The Weight of my decisions were impossible to hold

But They were never yours

Yeah!

Deep.

Mirrorthrone - No One By My Side

During this everlasting agony

A smile distorted my cracked lips

One last time

For even though my time had gone

Somewhere a seed had been sown

-- A

bsolutely love that song. Its about how many Pagans and non pagans were killed during the witch hunts. And no matter how many of us die, there will ALWAYS be someone who will continue our legacy

Pass Out

They say hello they say aloha they say bonjour

I'm bout to kill this s*** I think I need an encore

These other rappers need to focus on their songs more

If you ain't faded I think you need to hit the bong more

Never 2 Far

Cuz' all I do is yearn a life without a concern

And dream of havin a turn to earn money to burn

Mappin' out my strategies to get rich-er

My desire's like a scratch that needs to get itch-ed

Crystal Mountain, by Death

Shatter the myth
Don't cut yourself
On your words against
Dreams made of steel
Stronger then any faith
That inflicts pain and fear,
is that how it's done?
Twisting your eyes to perceive
all that you want
To assume from ignorance
inflicting wounds with your
cross-turned dagger

This Godless Endeavor, by Nevermore

We contemplate oblivion as we resonate our dissonance
In godless random interpretation
The universe still expands, mankind still can't understand
How to define you, so hide your face and watch us exterminate ourselves over you
Welcome to the end my friend, the sky has opened

Everything Evil-Coheed and Cambria

Wait for..
Everything evil in you comes out
I'll stay when we'll only motivate sound instead, Sergeant.
Make for the table...
In hopes that I won't be afraid again
call when enabled
And send the leader out against...
I will
Stage a reenactment in a false pretense
Exist inflict
Unworthy unconsciousness
Why debate when the actions suppressed?
Then kill the acquitted
Listen to the sounds that remain in question
In hopes to solidify a truce
Amongst the children and the jury that stands the verdict alive
Here among the dead

Evolve Monstar!
Show me the things that I've never wanted done.
Evolve Monstar!
Do to me the things I never wanted done...

I... I felt much better than this before.
If they find out to avoid
Then the accidents kept hidden away
But if they stay...

Blood hungry, cannibalistic unfit family ties
In a series of knocks
To the young girl's head side
Come write me a letter and paste it on my refrigerator door
Inspected inspector,
i think we've found something over here

I... I felt much better than this before.
If they find out to avoid
Then the accidents kept hidden away
But if they stay...

Jesse!
Just come look at what your brother did here!
He did away with me.
[x2]

Stay until Wednesday,
And write me a child-like letter, pretending.
At war here in Thursday.
Let's make this our last day at home by the fence.

Would you run? Would you run?
Would you run down past the fence?
Would you run? Would you run?
Would you run down past the fence? (FBI)

And she screamed,
Claudio! Dear Claudio!
I wish, God damn it, we'll make it if you believe!
And she screamed,
Claudio! Dear Claudio!
I wish, God damn it, we'll make it if you believe! (FBI)

"Play Crack the Sky" by Brand New.

Your tongue is a rudder.
It steers the whole ship.
Sends your words past your lips
Or keeps them safe behind your teeth.
But the wrong words will strand you.
Come off course while you sleep.
Sweep your boat out to sea
Or dashed to bits on the reef.

The vessel groans
The ocean pressures its frame.
To the port I see the lighthouse
Through the sleet and the rain.
And I wish for one more day to give my
Love and repay debts.
But the morning finds our bodies washed up thirty miles west.

"The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot" by Brand New.

If it makes you less sad
I will die by your hand
I hope you find out what you want
I already know what I am
And if it makes you less sad
We'll start talking again
And you can tell me how vile
I already know that I am

I'll grow old
And start acting my age
I'll be a brand new day
In a life that you hate
A crown of gold
A heart that's harder than stone
And it hurts a whole lot
But it's missed when it's gone.

"Transatlanticism" by Death Cab for Cutie.

Those people were overjoyed; they took to their boats.
I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat.
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flatlands to your door have been silenced forever more.
The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
It seems farther than ever before
Oh no.

America... F*** YEAH!
