What is your favorite song lyric?

[shwnbob]

I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock
My finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked
I can't stop staring at the tick-tock clock
And even if I could I would never give up
With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung
I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung
And if and when I die won't you bury me alone?
Because I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song
Streetlight Manifesto- Point/Counterpoint

"Follow me into the desert, as desperate as you are." Soundgarden: Burden in my hand. Man I love that song.

Soundgarden's awesome.

And you stare at me
In the Jesus Christ pose
Arms held out
Like you've been carrying a load
And you swear to me
You don't want to be my slave
But you're staring at me
Like I need to be saved


I was tempted to say Ty Cobb, but Jesus Christ Pose has been stuck in my head all day.

Trust in me and fall as well.

"I need to laugh, and when the sun is out,
I've got something I can laugh about.
I feel good, in a special way:
I'm in love, and it's a sunny day."

 

[General Ken8]

Sweet berries ready for two
ghosts are no different then you
ghosts are now waiting for you
are you
are you dreaming
dreaming
dreaming the night
dreaming all right!
DO we, DO we know!
when We fly, when we when we go
do we die!


still a system fan here.

Hell yeah
In fact, i'd say my favorite quote from a song is pretty much the song "Chik N' Stu" In its entirety
I laugh every time

Spoiler: from The Mars Volta's Tetragrammaton

"THE KIOSK IN MY TEMPORAL LOBE IS SHAPED LIKE ROSALYN CARTER!"

I love it just for its absurdity.

In terms of actual poetic value, it'd be the entirety of...

Spoiler: Radiohead's Subterranean Homesick Alien

The breath of the morning
I keep forgetting
The smell of the warm summer air

I live in a town
Where you can't smell a thing
You watch your feet
For cracks in the pavement

Up above
Aliens hover
Making home movies
For the folks back home

Of all these weird creatures
Who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves
And live for their secrets

They're all uptight
Uptight.. (x7)

I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane
Late at night when I'm driving
Take me on board their beautiful ship
Show me the world as I'd love to see it

I'd tell all my friends
But they'd never believe
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely

I'd show them the stars
And the meaning of life
They'd shut me away
But I'd be all right
All right..

I'm just uptight
Uptight.. (x7)

A friend in need is a friend indeed,
a friend with weed is better.

<Coughs, Gags, Throws up lung> Okay now ready to sing.

Come cheer up my lads, tis to glory we steer,
To add something new to this wonderful year;
Tis to honour we call you, as free men not slaves,
For who are so free as the sons of the waves?

Heart of oak our ships, jolly tars our men,
We always are ready, steady boys, steady.
We'll fight and we'll conquer again, and again.

We ne'er see our foes, but we wish them to stay;
They always see us and they wish us away;
If they run we will follow, we will drive them ashore;
For if they won't fight we can do no more.

They say they'll invade us, these terrible foes;
Frighten our women, our children, our beaus;
But should their flat-bottoms, in darkness get o'er,
Stout Britons they'll find to defeat them ashore.

Britannia triumphant, her ships rule the seas,
Her watchword is justice, her password is free.
So come cheer up my lads, with one heart let us sing,
Our soldiers, our sailors, our statesmen, our Queen.

<This one's good too>

The minstrel boy to the war is gone,
In the ranks of death you'll find him;
His father's sword he hath girded on,
And his wild harp slung behind him;
"Land of Song!" cried the warrior bard,
"Tho' all the world betrays thee,
One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard,
One faithful harp shall praise thee!"

The Minstrel fell! But the foeman's chain
Could not bring that proud soul under;
The harp he lov'd ne'er spoke again,
For he tore its chords asunder;
And said "No chains shall sully thee,
Thou soul of love and brav'ry!
Thy songs were made for the pure and free
They shall never sound in slavery!"

"Fuck It All, Fuck This World, Fuck Everything That You Stand For, Don't Belong, Don't Exist, Don't Give A Shit, Don't Ever Judge Me" Simple and to the point

 

[Lexodus]

Way too many to pick from, but one that has stuck with me since I listened was,

"We stood around and drank a lot and leaned against the cars
Tried to beat the winter, made it just under the wire
We got drunk and loud under a thousand million stars
Someone played Steve Miller, someone set some stuff on fire"
