Splodgenessabounds Posted November 15, 2008 #1 Share Posted November 15, 2008 (edited) What's your favourite lyric from a song. Doesn't have to be profound or something only a genius can truely understand. Just a line or two of a song you always enjoy hearing. I have a few, The Queen is Dead by The Smiths So I broke into the Palace, With a sponge and a rusty spanner, She said, Eh I know you and cannot sing, I said that's nothing you should hear me play piano In the Land of Grey and Pink by Caravan In the land of grey and pink where only boy-scouts stop to think, They'll be coming back again, those nasty grumbly grimblies Time by Pink Floyd Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way, The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say And one which always makes me laugh, I've Got Two Legs by Monty Python I've got two legs from my hips to the ground, And when I move them they walk around, When I lift them they climb the stairs, And when I shave them they ain't got hairs Edited November 16, 2008 by Splodgenessabounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes And before you abuse, criticize and accuse Walk a mile in my shoes.~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2F Posted November 15, 2008 #4 Share Posted November 15, 2008 (edited) Soundgarden "4th of July" Shower in the dark day, clean sparks diving down. Cool in the waterway, where the baptized drown. Naked in the cold sun, breathing life like fire. I thought I was the only one, but that was just a lie.

Pinky Floyd Posted November 15, 2008 #5 Share Posted November 15, 2008 REM Swan Swan H lyrics (Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe) Swan, swan, hummingbird Hurrah, we are all free now What noisy cats are we Girl and dog he bore his cross Swan, swan, hummingbird Hurrah, we are all free now A long, low time ago, people talk to me Johnny Reb, what's the price of fans Forty a piece or three for one dollar? Hey captain, don't you want to buy Some bone chains and toothpicks? Night wings, her hair chains, Here's your wooden greenback, sing Wooden beams and dovetail sweep I struck that picture ninety times, I walked that path a hundred ninety, Long, low time ago, people talk to me A pistol hot cup of rhyme The whiskey is water, the water is wine Marching feet, Johnny Reb, what's the price of heroes? Six in one, half dozen the other, Tell that to the captain's mother, Hey captain, don't you want to buy, Some bone chains and toothpicks? Night wings, her hair chains Swan, swan, hummingbird Hurrah, we are all free now What noisy cats are we Long, low time ago, people talk to me A pistol hot cup of rhyme, The whiskey is water, the water is wine TOOL Wings for Marie (Pt 2) Listen to the tales and romanticize, How we'd follow the path of the hero. Boast about the day when the rivers overrun. How we rise to the height of our halo. Listen to the tales as we all rationalize Our way into the arms of the savior, Feigning all the trials and the tribulations; None of us have actually been there. Not like you. Ignorant siblings in the congregation Gather around spewing sympathy, Spare me. None of them can even hold a candle up to you. Blinded by choice, these hypocrites won't see. But, enough about the collective Judas. Who could deny you were the one who Illuminated your little piece of the divine? And this little light of mine, a gift you passed on to me; I'm gonna let it shine to guide you safely on your way, Your way home ... Oh, what are they going to do when the lights go down Without you to guide them all to Zion? What are they going to do when the rivers overrun Other than tremble incessantly? High is the way, but all eyes are upon the ground. You were the light and the way they'll only read about. I only pray, Heaven knows when to lift you out. Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough; You're going home. You're the only one who can hold your head up high, Shake your fists at the gates saying: "I've come home now! Fetch me the spirit, the son, and the father. Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended. It's time now! My time now! Give me my, give me my wings!" You are the light and way that they will only read about. Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance, (With the) burden of proof tossed upon the believers. You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence, Judith Marie, unconditional one. Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescents. Difficult to see you in this light. Please forgive this bold suggestion, but Should you see your Maker's face tonight, Look Him in the eye, look Him in the eye, and tell Him: "I never lived a lie, never took a life, but surely saved one. Hallelujah, it's time for you to bring me home." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Love Posted November 15, 2008 #6 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Come hear the moon is calling, The witching hour draws near, Come hear the bell is tolling, Mortals run in fear, Hold fast the sacrafice, Prepare the altar now and hear the virgin cry, All hell breaks loose, For now it's the time to die, Unveil the pentagram, Hell's breaking loose. Come watch the holy men, And feel the heat of satan's breath, And feel the demons lust, Come taste blood, Who look on in disgust, Look in the sky's and see, The warriors of death, All hell breaks loose, Hell's breaking loose, Our work is now complete, Witching hour. The blood runs fast and free, And satan takes his bride, And cry's of blasphemy, All hell rejoices at the child, That she will bear, And satans only son, Shall be the worlds despair, All hell breaks loose, Hell's breaking loose, Witching hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystemOfADown Posted November 15, 2008 #7 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I don't mean to dwell But I can't help myself When I feel the vibe And taste a memory Of a time in life When years seemed to stand still I close my eyes And sink within myself Relive the gift of precious memories In need of a fix called innocence When did it begin? The change to come was undetectable The open wounds expose the importance of Our innocence A high that can never be bought or sold Symbolic acts - so vivid Yet at the same time Were invisible Savor what you feel and what you see Things that may not seem important now But may be tomorrow Do you remember when Things seemed so eternal? Heroes were so real... Their magic frozen in time The only way to learn Is be aware and hold on tight I close my eyes And sink within myself Relive the gift of precious memories In need of a fix called innocence When did it begin? The change to come was undetectable The open wounds expose the importance of Our innocence A high that can never be bought or sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pol_Pot_Lives_Again Posted November 16, 2008 #10 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Poison Cup by M. Ward: She said if love, if love, is a poison cup... then drink it up. 'Cause a sip, a sip, or a spoonful won't do. Won't do nothin' for you, ...except mess you up. Oxford Comma by Vampire Weekend: Why would you lie 'bout how much coal you have? Why would you lie about something dumb like that? Why would you lie 'bout anything at all? First the window, then it's to the wall. Lil' Jon he always tells the truth. The Breeze by Dr. Dog: Is it a dream, keeping you awake? Is it the stillness that makes you shake? If you need to know for sure... whats on the ocean's floor. Then sing. Do you like things, the way they seem? Or are you lookin' behind the scenes. Well if you got to know... what it takes to make it so. Just believe. Are there dark parts, to your mind? Hidden secrets, left behind. Where no one ever goes, but everybody knows. It's alright. First Sight by These United States: With her mouth making movements, to introduce thoughts, I sat, deafened by trust- on that sofa across. Quietly calculating, the logistics of lust, ...of when unspoken things couldn't happen between us. And once all those were done and we got through love, we would shoot from the hip- reacting off of the cuff. Splitting up at the fork when the going got rough, with a plan- for a point- to rejoin on the road further up. All windows thin where the ice carved its' flowers, I would hold her. Let the wind beat back those hours. Then standing on subway trains clutching her dress, dependant, on her balance since-the-walls-were-useless. And while it's alright to hold tight, please don't try to hold on. 'Cause its a homerun hit- love, 'cause it's going and gone. But then the world turns so fast it was astoundingly still, and it must've been that moment made of midnight on the hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kissmet Posted November 16, 2008 #11 Share Posted November 16, 2008 24 hours later..... OK so here are a few... Near to you by: A Fine Frenzy Near to you, I am healing But it's taking so long 'Cause though he's gone And you are wonderful It's hard to move on Yet, I'm better near to you. You and I have something different And I'm enjoying it cautiously I'm battle scarred, I am working oh so hard To get back to who I used to be He's disappearing Fading steadily I'm so close to being yours Won't you stay with me Between the Lines by: Sara Barailles My memory is cruel Im queen of attention to details Defending intentions if he fails Until now, he told me her name It sounded familiar in a way I could have sworn i'd heard him say it ten thousand times If only i had been listening Leave unsaid unspoken Eyes wide shut unopened You and me Always between the lines Between the lines Gravity by: Sara Barailles Something always brings me back to you. It never takes too long. No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone. You hold me without touch. You keep me without chains. I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your reign. Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity. Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be. But you're on to me and all over me. I Know Him By Heart by: Vonda Shepard There's a secret path I follow To a place no one can find Where I meet my perfect someone I've kept hidden in my mind Where my heart makes my decisions 'Till my dream becomes a vision And the love I feel Makes him real someday 'Cause I know he's out there somewhere Just beyond my reach Though I've never really touched him Or ever heard him speak Though we've never been together We've never been apart No we've never met Haven't found him yet But I know him by heart Am I living in an illusion? Wanting something I can't see If I compromise, I'd be living lies Pretending love's not meant to be 'Cause I know my heart's worth saving And I know that he'll be waiting So I'll hold on and I'll stay strong 'till then No we've never met Haven't found him yet But I know him by heart No we've never met Haven't found him yet But I know him by heart Counting to 100 By: Matt Wertz So you go hide And I'll come seek Maybe someday in the middle We just might meet because I'm counting to a hundred And I promise I won't peek As you go hide And I come seek How much longer will this game go on I guess summer time will tell Cause I hate to hear that you're all alone Overlooked in search of someone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissMelsWell Posted November 17, 2008 #12 Share Posted November 17, 2008 It's kind of funny; as a general rule my least favorite music is country music and I really am not a fan of sappy love songs in general either. However, two of my favorite songs are pretty much epic love songs and one could arguably be called a country song LOL Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, Crosby, Still, and Nash (plain text lyrics) (YouTube Video) ... Chestnut brown canary Ruby throated sparrow Sing a song, don't be long Thrill me to the marrow Voices of the angels Ring around the moonlight Asking me, said she so free How can you catch the sparrow Lacy lilting lyric Losing love lamenting Change my life, make it right Be my lady And, for some odd reason I've always adored this epic love song as well: LOL El Paso, Marty Robbins (full lyrics from Marty Robbins' Web site) (YouTube Video) ... So in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden Down went his hand for the gun that he wore My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor Just for a moment I stood there in silence Shocked by the foul, evil deed I had done Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there I had but one chance and that was to run Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran Out where the horses were tied I caught a good one, it looked like it could run Up on its back and away I did ride Just as fast as I could from the West Texas town of El Paso Out to the badlands of New Mexico ....

Burning Love Posted November 19, 2008 #17 Share Posted November 19, 2008 This song is just plain eerie... Gather round o young ones Listen to the night Black as death and loud as hell Only men take fright Sit around my flame bright Warm your bones and hear Virgins die and demons cry Throw away your fears Suffer not the children Sleep tight our fathers Guard our mothers well Vampires and werewolves Erupt your dreams our spell The evening sabbat song A Longing to be free Lost children wander waiting Barefoot in the sea Suffer not the children Suffer not the children Or be deemed a damned disgrace Blessed be the wench The witch delivers in his grace Gather around my young ones We can go away I'll guide you in the night Follow me Tonight we'll find a path The Hell born sinners trail Beware! None shall stop us Innocence guards our way The amulets of kings Our voodoo games We know but never tell Of our infernal names Suffer not the children http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ZE0qvgpAVFo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kissmet Posted November 19, 2008 #18 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Melee=Built To Last I've looked for love in stranger places, but never found someone like you. Someone whose smile makes me feel I've been holding back, and now there's nothing I can't do. 'Cause this is real, and this is good. It warms the inside just like it should, but most of all it's built to last. All of our friends saw from the start. So why didn't we believe it too? Whoa yeah, now look where we are. You're in my heart now. And there's no escaping it for you. 'Cause this is real, and this is good. It warms the inside just like it should, but most of all it's built to last. Walking on the hills that night with those fireworks and candlelight You and I were made to get love right 'Cause this is real, and this is good. It warms the inside just like it should, but most of all it's built to last. 'Cause you are the sun in my universe, considered the best when we've felt the worst and most of all it's built to last. Melee=She's Gonna Find Me Here Now I don't have to climb the highest mountain And I don't have to sail the seven seas. Now I don't have to push myself through desert sands 'Cause she's gonna find me here. And I don't have to put on all my best clothes And I don't have to put on a show. Now I don't have to act like a total stranger 'Cause she's gonna find me here. When she finally arrives It will be right on time. And I'll know that it's real 'Cause the light in her eyes Will look through and show what a fool I had been To search far and wide with my heart in my hands. And I don't have to worry about her 'Cause I know she's fine, now, on her own. Now can put my mind on things in my own life 'Cause shes gonna find me here. You know that she's gonna find me here. And when she finally arrives It will be right on time. And I'll know that it's real 'Cause the light in her eyes Will look through and show what a fool I had been To search far and wide with my heart in my hands. Now I don't have to cut up my heart Into pieces so small And give them to those who don't care. Now I don't have to search for one girl In the depths of my soul 'Cause she's gonna find me 'Cause she's gonna find me You know she's gonna find me here.
