Favorite Song Lyric

[NoSlottedToaster]

Everyone has one or two song lyrics that make them smile, either at their cleverness, absurdity, uniqueness, or cuteness, what are your favorite lyrics?


One of my all time favorite lyrics is:

"One night doesn?t mean the rest of my life.
If I go it?s not impossible
Possible is probably wrong.
So, let go
Because I?m afraid to try"

-The Get Up Kids "I'm a Loaner Dottie, a Rebel" from the album Something to Write Home About

 

[Aerodynamic]

"The day I tried to live
I stole a thousand beggars change
And gave it to the rich

The day I tried to win
I dangled from the power lines
And let the martyrs stretch
Singing

One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
One more time around might do it
One more time around
The day I tried to live"
Soundgarden - The Day I Tried To Live

 

[Baby Tea]

Skankin Pickle - I missed the Bus:

I missed the bus again.
I missed the bus.
I missed the bus again.

Now why'd you miss the bus? I dunno.
We're you up late last night? I guess so.
And were you watching TV? Uh huh.
Bet you're watching three's company. YEAAAH!
Cause I love three's company.
I love three's company.
I love three's company.
But that's no excuse for missing the bus.

When every other song is talking about the same thing, leave to Ska music to lighten the mood.

Lyrics kind of suck when you don't have the music and beat so you don't know how to sing them.

"Scott's a Dork dork dork dork dork dork dork dork dork Dork dork dork dork dork dork dork dork dork Dork dork dork dork dork dork dork dork dork."
-Scott's a dork


"Don't let your dreamers,
Grow up to be dead men,
Drown us at birth,
Save her some time."
-Floater

 

[Cuniculus]

"Everyone else has had more sex than me!"

Ha ha!

 

[NoSlottedToaster]

these are good too


"This is something I can't handle, I wish I had your strength.
Just one ounce, just one ounce would make me warm again.
Lessons in the wind.
Time's cold hand affects me and bleeds me dry.
I am beaten until my eyes are swollen shut.
Carry the weight of your time, still moving.
Standing up straight while confined, still proving.
Swallowed by humility.
Fear the new change coming.
Still afraid to let it be, facing lifes uncertainty.
Take the new change running.
Only fear, comformity will change you!"

-Evergreen Terrace "burned alive by time" from the album Burned Alive By Time

 

[soul_rune1984]

I've got eyes on my backside, that see electric tomatoes,
On credit card rye bread.
There are children in washrooms, holding hands with a Queen.
And my head's full of murders where only killers scream.
So now you can spend the morning talking with me quite amazed
As I'm unwashed and somewhat slightly dazed

-Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed by David Bowie

That whole song's messed up. I love it.

 

[dwightsteel]

Once upon a time, a girl played me. It only happened once to me, but it was a line from a Fall Out Boy song that for some reason cheered me up immensely.

"I'm just a notch in your bedpost,
But you're just a line in a song."

As it turns out, those guys can be quite poetic when they aren't emoing it up.

Todd Agnew - "Funny"

It's funny how a big old fish can hear your voice,
Find one man in the whole ocean,
Then swallow him whole,
'Cause you said so.

It's funny how a little plant can hear your voice,
And grow as big as a tent
To give that man a home,
'Cause you said so.

And you speak to me all the time,
And I can't obey you to save my life.

Well I can, but I don't;
And I want to, but I won't.
And I don't do what I want to,
I do what I don't mean to
And I'm confused.

It's funny how a fish can obey you,
But I can't.

For those who are curious, it references the story of Jonah and the whale in the Bible.

Land of Confusion cover by Disturbed:
Now, this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for

This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to

M4 Part2 by Faunts:
I have wondered about you
Where will you be when this through
If all goes as planned
Will you redeem my life again?...

...And I need you to recover
Because I can?t make it on my own

 

[Disaster Button]

"Last niiight, oo-oooo I stuck it in the wrong hole"

"No, I don't believe you when you say you don't love me anymore"

"Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back or break it, break it off. Next time you point a finger I'll point you to the mirror."

"Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?"

"These girls fall like Dominoes."

"No more poison, killing my emotion."

And probably a lot more.

 

[Raven's Nest]

F*ck you i wont do what you tell me.
-Killing in the Name of
Rise Against

Just to clarify, that was Rage Against The Machine...

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

Eerie whispers
trapped beneath my pillow
won't let me sleep
your memories

and I know you're in this room
I'm sure I heard you sigh
Floating in between
where our worlds collide

scares the hell out of me
and the end is all I can see
and it scares the hell out of me
and the end is all I can see

and I know the moment's near
and there's nothing you can do
look through a faithless eye
are you afraid to die?

it scares the hell out of me
and the end is all I can see
and it scares the hell out of me
and the end is all I can see

It scares the hell out of me
and the end is all I can see
and it scares the hell out of me
and the end is all I can see

Gives a Lyrigasm everytime.

Epic agreement. Love those songs. The awesome chorus about 3/4 through with all the buildup is mindblowing.
