Favourite Song Lyrics

[Graustein]

Post here your favourite song lyrics, the ones that mean the most to you. This isn't about posting a whole song, just a few lines of a song that means something to you.

For example:

We've got these chains
Hanging 'round our necks
People wanna strangle us with 'em
Before we take our first breath
Afraid of change
Afraid of staying the same
When temptation calls
We just look away

Taken from What a Good Boy by Barenaked Ladies

Oh, did I mention to name the song and artist? Well, do so.

 

[yourkie1921]

I can't decide
Whether you should live or die
Oh, you'll probably go to heaven
Please don't hang your head and cry
No wonder why
My heart feels dead inside
It's cold and hard and petrified
Lock the doors and close the blinds
We're going for a ride

 

[Graustein]

I can't decide
Whether you should live or die
Oh, you'll probably go to heaven
Please don't hang your head and cry
No wonder why
My heart feels dead inside
It's cold and hard and petrified
Lock the doors and close the blinds
We're going for a ride

What's the name of that song? I heard it in the Season 3 finale of Doctor Who and I wanna find it again!

Acrobat- Maximo Park

I just want to feel comfortable,
When there's only the two of us in my bed,
My foot nearly brushes your leg,
I cant draw it away,
I cant push it forward,
It lies stranded,
It belongs to someone else,
We knew each other once,
This cant be what you want,
But you didn't have to demolish me.

its this really brilliant spoken word song.
I love maximo park.

This thread has been done before.

And yes, those are my favourite lyrics. I wrote that.

I searched the word "lyrics" and found nothing, assumed it hadn't been done before

One Crowded Hour - Augie March

They put me in a cage full of lions, I learned to speak lion
In fact I know the language well
I picked it up while I was versing myself in the languages they speak in hell
That night, the silence gave birth to a baby
They took it away to her silent dismay
And they raised it to be lady
Now she can't keep her mouth shut

But for one crowded hour, you were the only one in the room
And I sailed around all those bumps in the night to your beacon in the gloom
I thought I had found my golden September in the middle of that purple June
But one crowded hour would lead to my wreck and ruin

.... and yes before you ask, I do like this band a lot....

 

[Radelaide]

Pretty much anything by Blink 182. THE EARLY DAYS. When they were producing Aliens Exist and What's My Age Again?

I took her out
It was a friiiiiiday night
I wore cologne to get the feeling right
We started making out
And she took off my pants
Then I turned on the TeeeeeVeeeee
And that's about the time she walked awaaaaay from meeee

That's gold right there.

VnV Nation - Illusion

Please don't go, I want you to stay
I'm begging you please, please don't leave here
I don't want you to hate for all the hurt that you feel
The world is just illusion trying to change you

tis stuck in my head, going round and round all day at the moment

As the Logician would say, apologies abound:

Is he going to deja-Nazi? Oh yes he is!

I'd do the "My favorite song lyric is ....." and put a link to the previous thread instead of .... but last time I did that wilson aptly noticed that I had stolen his joke, so instead I'll just list the threads.
It's been done here:

Those are all since I joined less than 3 months ago, I'm sure it was done lost before that.

In conclusion, this thread has been done. But not just that, its been picked up, repeatedly kicked in the teeth, suffered from forced sleep deprivation, given electro shock therapy, smeared in honey and sugar, staked down outside an ants nest and fed cyanide cookies laced with arsenic. While on fire.

No offense meant, I love lyrics, finding meaning and enjoyment from songs is one of my great passions, but I also like not seeing the same topic re-appear every few weeks. Why not necro one of those old threads instead?

Why not necro one of those old threads instead?

I would, had I known they existed. I didn't, so I haven't.

Evil Angel by Breaking Benjamin


"Hold it together
Birds of a feather
Nothing but lies and crooked wings
I have the answer
Spreading the cancer
You are the faith inside me
No
Don't
Leave me to die here
Help me survive here alone
Don't
Remember, remember


Put me to sleep evil angel!
Open your wings evil angel!
Fly over me evil angel
Why can't i breathe evil angel?!"

 

[Stalington]

sigh...here we go again. hang on, lemme dig around to find the lyrics I posted on a similar thread LAST WEEK!


I dont want to go to sleep,
unless you want to go with me,
lets go paint the town red, lets go paint the town red,
all these people bother me,
so lets go on a killing spree,
lets go paint the town red, lets go paint the town red,

OOoooOOoohh!
OOoooOOoohh!

Sanity is for the weak,
when the mayhem reaches peak,
lets go paint the town red, lets go paint the town red,
With you standing by my side,
they will have no place to hide,
lets go paint the town red, lets go paint the town red,

song written by: Stalington

and thank god for copy-paste

 

[Versuvius]

Oh jesus where do i begin @_o

They called me the Leather Apron
They called me Smiling Jack
They prayed to the heavens above
That I would never ever come back

Can you hear how the children weep?
Chills of fear like a sawblade cutting deep...

Once again there is pain, I bring flames, I bring cold
I'm the Blood Red Sandman coming home
On this unholy night I will make you my own
Blood Red Sandman coming home again
I'm coming home again!

lordi, blood red sandman

 

[AuntyEthel]

She don't screw my friends and she cleans up my house
All of this love girl is creeping me out.

Classically funny lyrics by Ima Robot

Brand New- "The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot"

You are calm and reposed.
Let your beauty unfold. Pale white, like the skin stretched over your bones.
Spring keeps you ever close. You are second hand smoke.
You are so fragile and thin. Standing trial for your sins.
Holding onto yourself the best you can.
You are the smell before rain. You are the blood in my veins.
Call me a safe bet. I'm betting I'm not. I'm glad that you can forgive. I'm only hoping as time goes, you can forget.

Not my favorite Brand New song but definately my favorite song for lyrics

 

[PrinnyGod]

Say Anything - The Futile

"Shit, Nothing makes sense
So I won't think about it
I'll go with the ignorance
Eat, sleep, fuck and flee
Four words that's me
I'm full of indifference"

One word off from being me... haha

then they always have Chia-Like I Shall Grow

"And my pain is mine
it's become my friend in time
Chia-like it grows
watch it fester for my foes"

 

[Cap'n_Wakka_Wakka]

The Thermals- Here's your future


God told his son it's time to come home
I promise you won't have to die all alone
I need you to pay for the sins I create
His son said, "I will but Dad, I'm afriad"


Gnarls Barkley-Who Cares

Its deep how you can be so shallow
And Im afraid cause I have no fear
And I didnt believe in magic until
Until I watched you disappear
I wish you where here

And I can go on and on and on
But who cares?

You see everybody is somebody
But nobody wants to be themselves

Judith - A Perfect Circle

You're such an inspiration for the ways
That I'll never ever choose to be
Oh so many ways for me to show you
How the savior has abandoned you
Fuck your God
Your Lord and your Christ
He did this
Took all you had and
Left you this way
Still you pray, you never stray
Never taste of the fruit
You never thought to question why
