What are your favorite song lyrics?

[Murkrowfeather]

It's easy - post your favorite song/poem/rap lyrics here. I can't think of many, but one from the song 'What Kind of Pokemon are You' made me laugh...

"Good luck with Muk and its Poison Gas,
make one wrong move and it'll kick your Grass!"

I was really scared the first time I heard that part of the song.

Barenaked Ladies - Pinch Me.



It's the perfect time of year
Somewhere far away from here
I feel fine enough, I guess
Considering everything's a mess.
There's a restaurant down the street
Where hungry people like to eat
I could walk, but I'll just drive
It's colder than it looks outside.

It's like a dream - you try to remember but it's gone, then ya
Try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn, when ya
Try to see the world beyond your front door.
Take your time cos the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile, when ya
Realise that with a guy my size it might take a while, just to
Try to figure out what all this is for.

It's the perfect time of day
To throw all your cares away
Put the sprinkler on the lawn
And run through with my gym shorts on.
Take a drink right from the hose
And change into some drier clothes
Climb the stairs up to my room
Sleep away the afternoon.

It's like a dream - you try to remember but it's gone, then ya
Try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn, when ya
Try to see the world beyond your front door.
Take your time cos the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile, when ya
Realise that with a guy my size it might take a while, just to
Try to figure out what all this is for.
Pinch Me
Pinch Me
Cos I'm still asleep.
Please God
Tell Me
That I'm still asleep

On an evening such as this
It's hard to tell if I exist
If I Packed a car and leave this town
Who'll notice that I'm not around?
I could hide out under there
I just made you say 'underwear'
I could leave but I'll just stay
All my stuff's here anyway.
It's like a dream - you try to remember but it's gone, then ya
Try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn, when ya
Try to see the world beyond your front door.

Take your time cos the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile, when ya
Realise that with a guy my size it might take a while, just to
Try to figure out what all this is for.
Try to figure out what all this is for.
Try to see the world beyond your front door.
Try to figure out what all this is for.


I love their lyrics. x)

[Altmer]

pain of salvation - undertow

 

[OrangeAipom]

I don't like reading lyrics. Doesn't sound like music.

 

[Celestial Blade]

Limp Bizkit "Break Stuff"

It's just one of those days, when you don't wanna wake up! Everything is FUCKED, everybody SUCKS!
You don't know why, but wanna justify RIPPIN' SOMEONE'S HEAD OFF!

 

[Not Meowth]

Those of Amy's theme from Sonic Adventure. If there are more nonsensical song lyrics I'd like to hear them.

 

[Celestial Blade]

Spineshank "Perfect Ending"

Why the smiles become a waste of time I get this empty feeling that's only becoming my friend, this is gone, I'm home, as only you can see, I wanna know why this is happening to me!

 

[hopeandjoy]

The Kill-30 Seconds to Mars

What if I wanted to break,
Laugh it all off in your face,
What would you do?
What if I fell to the floor,
Couldn't take all this anymore,
What would you do, do, do?

Come break me down,
Bury me, bury me.
I am finished with you.

What if I wanted to fight,
Beg for the rest of my life,
What would you do?
You say you wanted more,
What are you waiting for?
I'm not running from you.

Come break me down,
Bury me, bury me.
I am finished with you.
Look in my eyes,
You're killing me, killing me.
All I wanted was you.

I tried to be someone else,
But nothing seemed to change.
I know now, this is who I really am inside.
Finally found myself,
Fighting for a chance.
I know now, this is who I really am.

Ah, ah
Oh, oh
Ah, ah

Come break me down,
Bury me, bury me.
I am finished with you, you, you.
Look in my eyes,
You're killing me, killing me.
All I wanted was you!

Come break me down (bury me, bury me).
Break me down (bury me, bury me).
Break me down (bury me, bury me).

(You say you wanted more,)
What if I wanted to break...?
(What are you waiting for?)
Bury me, bury me.
(I'm not running from you.)
What if I,
What if I,
What if I,
What if I,
Bury me, bury me.

[lyrics]

I love their lyrics. x)

asfsfd me too <3 BNL's lyrics are awesome normally, but I adore that song especially because it's perfect for lazy Sunday afternoons X3

One Week's lyrics are pretty awesome ("Like Kurasawa I make mad films/'kay I dont make films/But if I did, they'd have a samurai"), as are Some Fantastic ("One day I will work with animals/All the tests I'm gonna do/All my stuff's completely natural/And when we're done, we'll boil 'em down for glue~") and Falling for the First Time (I'm so sane, it's driving me crazy")

I LOVE THEM :D

 

[#1 bro]

well, some of my favorites are probably

Videotape - Radiohead
when I'm at the pearly gates
this'll be on my videotape

when Mephistopheles is just beneath
and he's reaching up to grab me

this is one for the good days
and I have it all here
in red blue green

you are my center when I spin away
out of control on videotape

this is my way of saying goodbye
cause I can't do it face to face
I'm talking to you before

no matter what happens now
shouldn't be afraid
because I know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen

and of course

I Am Trying To Break Your Heart - Wilco
I am an American aquarium drinker
I assassin down the avenue
I'm hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you?

Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning
Let's undress just like cross-eyed strangers
This is not a joke so please stop smiling
What was I thinking when I said it didn't hurt?

I want to glide through those brown eyes dreaming
Take you from the inside, baby hold on tight
You were so right when you said I've been drinking
What was I thinking when we said good night?

I want to hold you in the Bible-black predawn
You're quite a quiet, domino, bury me now
Take off your band-aid cause I don't believe in touchdowns
What was I thinking when we said hello?

I always thought that if I held you tightly
You'd always love me like you did back then
Then I fell asleep and the city kept blinking
What was I thinking when I let you back in?

I am trying to break your heart
I am trying to break your heart
But still I'd be lying if I said it wasn't easy
I am trying to break your heart

It's so weird yet vaguely inspiring, you can't not love it.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnd

Gospel - The National
I got two armfuls of magazines for you
I’ll bring them over
so hang your holiday rainbow lights in the garden
hang your holiday rainbow lights in the garden and I’ll
I’ll bring a nice icy drink to you

Let me come over I can waste your time, I’m bored
Invite me to the war every night of the summer
And we’ll play G.I. blood, G.I. blood
We’ll stand by the pool
We’ll throw out our golden arms

Darling can you tie my string
Killers are calling on me
My angel face is falling
Feathers are falling on my feet
Darling can you tie my string
Killers are calling on me

and

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel
What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
What a beautiful dream
That could flash on the screen
In a blink of an eye and be gone from me
Soft and sweet
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me, me

And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see
Love to be
In the arms of all I'm keeping here with me, me

What a curious life we have found here tonight
There is music that sounds from the street
There are lights in the clouds
Anne's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
Soft and sweet
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees, trees

Now how I remember you
How I would push my fingers through
Your mouth to make those muscles move
That made your voice so smooth and sweet
Now we keep where we don't know
All secrets sleep in winters clothes
With one you loved so long ago
Now he don't even know his name

What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
And when we meet on a cloud
I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all, at all

Needs more showtunes :D

(all these are really long, so I picked out my favourite bits X3)

Warning for swearing, sex, homosexuality and all that kind of stuff. I love Broadway <3

To hand-crafted beers made in local breweries;
To yoga, to yogurt, to rice and beans and cheese;
To leather, to dildos, To curry Vindaloo;
To Huevos Rancheros and Maya Angelou!
Emotion, devotion, to causing a commotion,
Creation, Vacation-
Mucho masturbation!

Bisexuals, trisexuals, Homo Sapiens,
Carcinogens, hallucinogens, men,
Pee Wee Herman!
German wine, turpentine, Gertrude Stein
Antonioni, Bertolucci, Kurosawa;
Carmina Burana!

To apathy, to entropy, to empathy, ecstasy;
Vaclav Havel- The Sex Pistols, 8BC!
To no shame- Never playing the fame game-
To marijuana!

To sodomy
It's between God and me-
To S & M!

D'ja ever clap when a waitress falls and drops a tray of glasses?

Yeah...

And ain't it fun to watch figure skaters falling on their asses?

Sure!

And don'tcha feel all warm and cozy,
Watching people out in the rain?

You bet!

That's... Schadenfreude!
People taking pleasure in your pain!

Watching a vegetarian being told she just ate chicken
Or watching a frat boy realize just what he put his dick in!
Being on the elevator when somebody shouts "Hold the door!"
Oh yeah - "No!!!"
Schadenfreude!
"Fuck you, lady; that's what stairs are for!"

[Fireworks]

too many to list, generally all Pain Of Salvation/Porcupine Tree/Pink Floyd/Iron Maiden lyrics are worth paying attention to / looking up

anyway, going to list one after all

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time has gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

I love BNL! <3 If I had A Million Dollars has awesome lyrics too:
If I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars )
I but you a fur coat( but not a real fur coat that's cruel)
If I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars )
I'd buy you an exotic pet(like a llama or an emu)
If I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars )
I'd but you John Merick's remains (ooo All them crazy elephant bones)
If I had a million dollars I'd buy your love

EDIT: 'Time' has excellant lyrics. :D

 

[Dannichu]

Ha, my mum adores that song X3

If I had a million dollars, I'd buy you an art - a Picasso or a Garfunkel~

California Dreamin' by The Mamas & the Papas.

 

[Shiny Grimer]

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but
You're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it

And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

(Oooooooh, Give you up
Oooooooh, Give you UP)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)

We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but
You're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

[lyrics]

RICKROLLED

But anyway:

I work down at the pizza pit
And I drive an old Hyundai
I still live with my mom and dad
I'm 5'3 and overweight

I'm a Sci-Fi fanatic
Mild asthmatic
Never been to 2nd base
But there's a whole 'nother me
That you need to see
Go check out MySpace

'cause online I'm out in Hollywood
I'm 6'5 and I look damn good
I drive a Maserati
I'm a black belt in Karate
And I love a good glass of wine

It turns girls on that I'm mysterious
I tell 'em I don't want nothing serious
'cause even on a slow day I can have a three way
Chat with two women at one time

I'm so much cooler online
So much cooler online

I get home, I kiss my mom
And she fixes me a snack
I head down to my basement bedroom
And fire up my Mac

In real life the only time I
Ever even been to L.A.
Was when I got the chance with the marching band
To play tuba in the Rose Parade.

Online I live in Malibu
I posed for Calvin Kline, I've been in GQ
I'm single and I'm rich
And I got a set of six pack abs that'll blow your mind

It turns girls on that I'm mysterious
I tell 'em I don't want nothing serious
'cause even on a slow day I can have a three way
Chat with two women at one time

I'm so much cooler online
Yeah I'm cooler online

When you got my kinda stats, it's hard to get a date
Let alone a real girlfriend
But I grow another foot
And I lose a bunch of weight every time I log in

Online I'm out in Hollywood
I'm 6'5 and I look damn good
Even on a slow day, I can have a three way
Chat with two women at one time

I'm so much cooler online
Yeah I'm cooler online
I'm so much cooler online
Yeah I'm cooler online

I love this song. x3
