And that is why a girl is called a tease
And that is why a guy is called a sleaze
And that's why god made escort agencies
One life to live, and mace, and GHB
(...)
Why all these conflicting specifications?
Maybe to prevent overpopulation
All I know is that all around the nation
The girls are crying and the boys are masturbating

locked in his bedroom
he saw the world
a web of answers
and cumshot girls

don't bother blaming
his games and guns
he's only playing
and boys just want to have fun

he picked a soundtrack
and packed his bag
he hung his walkman
around his neck

it's so simple
the way they fall
no cry, no whimper
no sound at all

I wake up every morning to the sound of motors roaring
they are drowning out the voices in my head
at night while I am sleeping I can hear the angels speaking but I can't recall a single thing they said
I see their lips move clearly I feel their presence near me
but each word they try to tell me just slips through the cracks
I push I strain I wrestle with my brain and then a voice from somewhere whispers to relax.

Don't want to lose my nerve
Don't want to clothe the curve
Don't want to make you swerve
Don't want what I deserve
Don't want to change the frame
Don't want to be a pain
Don't want to stay the same

Slug - U2 & Brian Eno

And I'm not sure this one counts, because it was part of a song written for a book (Variable Star - Robert Heinlein) but:

It's the reason we came from the mud, don't you know
'cause we wanted to climb to the stars

In our flesh and our bone and our blood we all know
we were meant to return to the stars

Go tell all your freinds! That this is the end! - Mothership, Enter Shikari

The bullets and bombs, that stuff banks,
Staff the party ranks.
More for gore, or the son of a drug lord,
None of the above, fuck it, cut the cord.

....Later on in the song....

It has to start somewhere, it has to start sometime,
What better place than here? What better time than now?
All! Hell! Can't stop us now! x7 - Guerrilla Radio, Rage Against The Machine


Finders keepers, will you keep me in mind?
I like secrets, 'cause they keep me in line,
Old habits die hard, but I'm too young to die. - Finders Keepers, You Me At Six

You look like you rented a smile off someone, but you,
Rented the wrong size,
Take it back! - Return to Energizer, Enter Shikari

"And I've had recurring nightmares that I was loved for who I am, and missed the opportunity to be a better man"

I wanted love
But not for myself
But for the girl
So she could love herself - Next Girl, The Black Keys

These blood red eyes.
Don't see so good.
But what's worse is if they could.
Would it chance my ways?- These Days, The Black Keys

They say the captain goes down with the ship
So if the world ends
Will God go down with it?-What a Catch Donnie, Fall Out Boy

Just for the record,
The weather today is slightly sarcastic with a good chance of:
A. Indifference or
B. Disinterest in what the critics say- London Beckoned Songs About Money Written By Machines, Panic! at the Disco

I don?t love you I'm just passing the time
You could love me if I knew how to lie
But who could love me?
I am out of my mind-She Had The World, Panic at the Disco

Uh...there's probably more. Those are some of my favorite song. I would look them up if I were you.

Lamb of God - Ruin

This is the art of ruin.
This is the resolution.
The end of all progress.
The death of evolution.
It bleeds all life away.

Billy Bragg said:
I saw two shooting stars last night,
I wished on them,
but they were only satellites.
It's wrong to wish on space hardware,
I wish, I wish,
I wish you'd care.
Still my favourite lyrics from any song (the song would be New England by the way).

I'll edit when I think of more.
Guilt Machine - Perfection:

And all the things you are,
And all you've lost
Is perfection what you really want?

then later in the song:

Whats one more year?
A trip around the sun
Rise up and leave here
The journey's done
Whats one more year?
A circle in the sky
The future's in motion
You're free to fly

"If songs were lines in a conversation, the situation would be fine." :)

Christ, mr Drake came up with some amazing lines. Here is one of my favourite Nick Drake verses:

"Dancing a jig in a church with chimes
A sign of the times today
Hearing no bell from the steeple tall
People all in dismay
Falling so far on a silver spoon
Making the moon for fun
Changing a rope for a size too small
People all get hung"

- Parasite

One of my favourite Thom Yorke lines:

"Like I've fallen out of bed from a long and vivid dream"

- Mouse Dog Bird

And finally, a lovely Zach Codon verse

"Walls gone over the sea
But not for me
Watch now, all will end
Now all that I'm, under a tide
Now I'm, under a tide
Tall hair under it all
Much more than I once had
Over seas"

- Canals of Our City

All the lyrics from The Wildheart - Geordie in wonderland

Now that I've changed and the rest have all stayed
well, why do I feel so confused?
some of the best of me plans have been laid
and some of me best moments used
I've been out for the count in a Mexican bar-o
stranded in nowhere with a-nothing but me
ah, lads, I daen't understand - I'm a Geordie in Wonderland

Some of the shit has sprouted in roses
and some of the roses have died
forced by meself to follow conviction
and ignore what I'm missing inside
I've been loved by the sweetest and hated by heroes
life's still (a) surprise and the friends come and go
ah, lads, I daen't understand - I'm a Geordie in Wonderland

I've had praise I've had ridicule, either meant nothing
faced with the task of tomorrow's demands
oh, lads, I didn't understand - I'm a Geordie in Wonderland
oh, lads, I didn't understand - I'm a Geordie in Wonderland
(whoop-whoop)
oh, lads, I didn't understand - I'm a Geordie in Wonderland

Well in regards to lyrics, THIS WHOLE SONG:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Jj2R69qRxU&feature=related

You're a better man than I -The Yardbirds

Can you judge a man
By the way he wears his hair?
Can you read his mind
By the clothes that he wears?
Can you see a bad man
By the pattern on his tie?

Chorus:

Then Mister you're a better man than I
Yeah Mister You're a better man than I
Oh Mister You're a better man than I
Yeah Mister You're a better man than I

Could you tell a wise man
By the way he speaks or spells?
Is this more important
Than the stories that he tells?
And call a man a fool
If for wealth he doesn't strive

Chorus:

Then Mister you're a better man than I
Yeah Mister You're a better man than I
Oh Mister You're a better man than I
Yeah Mister You're a better man than I

Could you condemn a man
If your faith he doesn't hold?
Say the colour of his skin
Is the colour of his soul?
Or could you say if men
For king and country all must die?

Chorus
Then Mister you're a better man than I
Yeah You're a better man than I
Oh Mister You're a better man than I
Yeah Mister You're a better man than I

Chorus:
"From green to red our days pass by
Waiting for a sign to tell us why
Are we dancing all alone?

Collect some stars to shine for you
And start today, there are only a few
A sign of times, my friend.

All of Harness Your Hopes by Pavement
Harness your hopes
on just one person
because you know a harness
was only made for one

Don't telegraph your passes
You'll end up with molasses
cauterized in syrup
And syrup and molasses

And I'm checking out the asses
The assets that attract us
To anything that moves
We're deep inside the grooves

And it's time to shake the rations
cause someone's gonna cash in
The plot it turns again
The reference starts at ten

Well show me
A word that rhymes with Pavement
And I won't kill your parents
And roast them on a spit

And a-don't you try to etch it
Or permanently sketch it
Or your gonna catch a bad bad cold

And the freaks have stormed the white house
I moved into a lighthouse
It's on a scenic quay
It's oh so far away

Far away from the beginning

The shroud is made of linen
The yearling took the purse
The goth kid has a hearse

Heart-breaking
Earth-quaking
Kiwis they are home baking
Minds wide open truly

Leisure
A leisure suit is nothing
It's nothing to be proud of
In this late century

And I'm asking you to hold me
Just like the morning paper
Pinched between your pointer
Your index and your thumb

It's a semi-automatic
Believers are ecstatic
You see the way they cling
The cold metallic sting

And I'm living in a coma
For Donna de Varona
The harness made of hopes
The lovers on the ropes

Nun is to church
As the parrot is to perch
And my Heart's
Wide open Truly

DEMONS
Attack with hate
SATAN
In bowels of hell awaits
DEATH
To you all
GOD
Hear my death call
I raise you...

The Ruins of Beverast - Mount Sinai Moloch

If thou... still creeping
Beheld us... still dreading
Thy sinister heights
Thou'd stand as a mere rock for us indeed,
A moloch for worms
A colossal artefact
Guardian and denouncer of the weak
Yet... In pristine and eerie beauty thou'd dwell
Trumpets... resounding with cacophony
And smoke... effusing venom
Now ascending Mount Sinai
Whose bounds are trampled down
Since heaped up with the sands of time
Outlived as a moloch for worms
Outlived as a colossal artefact
Monument and monolith of oblivion
Here... In profane and moribund solitude thou shall vegetate
Imperishably.

So grab your Zerg and beat 'em in the head.
If he don't like biscuit, feed it cornbread
Zerg go wasteland 'bout half drunk, jump on a man, like a dog on a bone, like a dog on a bone
Goin' to be a hood ornament in a second, Street Roller!
