Favourite Song Lines?!?!?

okay...system of a down chop suey, definitely hits close to home and i just love it

father, into your hands, i commend my spirit,
father, into your hands,
why have you forsaken me,
in your eyes forsaken me,
in your thoughts forsaken me,
in your heart forsaken me,
trust in my self righteous suicide
i cry when angels deserve to die

then just a few lines from some dead songs....
throwing stones-
the kids they dance and shake their bones
franklins tower-
if you get confused you listen to the music play
i could probably quote like 30 more dead songs at least, but im hung over i think im going back to bed

 

this song is pretty much my life the last few weeks...so i listen to it a lot...so they're my favourite lyrics by default i suppose...

I'll leave the lights down low
so she knows I mean business
And maybe we could talk this over
Cause I could be your best bet
Let alone your worst ex

I wanna hate you so bad
But I can't stop this
anymore than you can

So honestly, how could you say those things
when you know they don't mean anything
And you know very well
that I can't keep my hands to myself,

I wanna hate you so bad
But I can't stop this
anymore than you can

This is all wrong and it shows
There's certain things I promised not to let you know,
(I've got a silly way of keepin you up on the edge of my seat,
I've got a silly way of keepin you up on the...)
not to let you know
I never let you, never let you, never...

You've got this silly way
of keeping me on the edge of my seat
But you're only counting the clock against the train
And I'm miserable, oh
(I've got a silly way of keepin you up on the edge of my seat,
I've got a silly way of keepin you up on the...)
And you're just getting started
I'm miserable, oh
And you're just getting started

You've got me right where you want me
Let's never talk, let's never,
let's never talk about this again because...
I didn't want it to mean that much to me

 

Creep (Radiohead)

When you were here before, couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel, your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fucking special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts, I want to have control
I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice, when I'm not around
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?

I don't belong here, ohhh ohhhh

She's running out again....
She's running out, she's run, run, run, run....run....

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here

 

Ok heres mine!

Muse - Sing for Absolution

lips are tuening blue, a kiss that cant renew,
i only dream of you, my beautiful.

tiptoe to your room, a starlight in the gloom,
i only dream of you, and you never knew.....

sing for absolution, i will be singing, falling from your grace

theres nowhere left to hide, in noone to confide,
the truth lies deep inside, and will never die

lips are tunring blue, a kiss that cant renew,
i only dream of you, my baeutiful....

sing for absolution, i will be singin, falling from your grace

our wrong remain unrectified, and our souls wont be exhumed........

"Rainy Day Women # 12 and 35"
Bob Dylan

Well, they’ll stone ya when you’re trying to be so good
They’ll stone ya just like they said they would
They’ll stone ya when you’re tryin’ to go home
Then they’ll stone ya when you’re there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Well they’ll stone ya when you’re walkin’ ’long the street
They’ll stone ya when you’re tryin’ to keep your seat
They’ll stone ya when you’re walkin’ on the floor
They’ll stone ya when you’re walkin’ to the door
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

They’ll stone ya when you’re at the breakfast table
They’ll stone ya when you are young and able
They’ll stone ya when you’re tryin’ to make a buck
They’ll stone ya and then they’ll say, good luck
Well, I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Well, they’ll stone you and say that it’s the end
Then they’ll stone you and then they’ll come back again
They’ll stone you when you’re riding in your car
They’ll stone you when you’re playing your guitar
Yes, but I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Well, they’ll stone you when you are all alone
They’ll stone you when you are walking home
They’ll stone you and then say they are brave
They’ll stone you when you are set down in your grave
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned....

Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, Its Morning

"First Day Of My Life"

'This the first day of my life
I swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach

Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don’t know where I am
I don’t know where I’ve been
But I know where I want to go

And so I thought I’d let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
You felt as if you had just woke up
And you said “this is the first day of my life
I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you
But now I don’t care I could go anywhere with you
And I’d probably be happy”

So if you want to be with me
With these things there’s no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
Then waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me'



This man is a genius!

 

Favourite song lines not songs folks, sure I'm missing lots of good ones but who is wading through all that lot. Everybody but me, I know.

If your Lonely - I will call
If your Bed is Wet - I'll dry your tears BB

led zeppelin-tengerine
Measuring a summers day,
I only finds it slips away to grey,
The hours, they bring me pain.

*tangerine, tangerine,
Living reflection from a dream;
I was her love, she was my queen,
And now a thousand years between.

Thinking how it used to be,
Does she still remember times like these?
To think of us again?
And I do.


bob dylan-visions of johanna
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it
And Louise holds a handful of rain, temptin' you to defy it
Lights flicker from the opposite loft
In this room the heat pipes just cough
The country music station plays soft
But there's nothing, really nothing to turn off
Just Louise and her lover so entwined
And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind

In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with the key chain
And the all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the "D" train
We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight
Ask himself if it's him or them that's really insane
Louise, she's all right, she's just near
She's delicate and seems like the mirror
But she just makes it all too concise and too clear
That Johanna's not here
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place

Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously
He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously
And when bringing her name up
He speaks of a farewell kiss to me
He's sure got a lotta gall to be so useless and all
Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in the hall
How can I explain?
Oh, it's so hard to get on
And these visions of Johanna, they kept me up past the dawn

Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues
You can tell by the way she smiles
See the primitive wallflower freeze
When the jelly-faced women all sneeze
Hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeeze
I can't find my knees"
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel

The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him
Sayin', "Name me someone that's not a parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for him"
But like Louise always says
"Ya can't look at much, can ya man?"
As she, herself, prepares for him
And Madonna, she still has not showed
We see this empty cage now corrode
Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
The fiddler, he now steps to the road
He writes ev'rything's been returned which was owed
On the back of the fish truck that loads
While my conscience explodes
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain


john lennon-imagine
Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

 

Darlene, Darlene, Darlene, Darlene!
Please don't take him, even though you can!

 

"Down in a Hole

And they put all the stones in their place
I've eaten the sun
So my tongue has been burned of the taste
I have been guilty
For kicking myself in the teeth
I will speak no more
Of my feelings beneath" [Down in a Hole - Alice in Chains]

 

One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces (Pink Floyd)

Well I believe that I must tell the truth, and say things as they really are,
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth, could I ever be a star? (Deep Purple)

And all I see is little dots, some are smeared and some are spots (Drugs, Talking Heads)

No alarms and no surprises please (Radiohead)

I don't like cricket, I love it (10cc)

Where is the love to be found, in this concrete jungle
Where the living is hardest (Bob Marley)

I tip my hat to the new constitution,
Take a bow for the new revolution,
Smile and grin at the change all around,
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again (The Who)

I rode a tank, held a general's rank
When the Blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank (Rolling Stones)

You do something to me, something deep inside (Paul Weller)

She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake (Elvis Costello)

Well you didn't wake up this morning 'cause you didn't go to bed
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red (The The)

May you never lay your head down without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold (John Martyn)

(that's enough lyrics for now, ed.)

 

And the long grass blows in the evening cool.
And August's rare delight may be April's fool.
But think not of that, my love,
I'm tight against the seam.
And I'm growing up to meet you down on velvet green.
- jethro tull, velvet green, songs from the wood

 

When I think of winter
I put my hand in my father's glove
I run off
Where the drifts get deeper
Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice
"Your must learn to stand up for yourself
Cause I can't always be around"
tori amos - winter

 

Hurry on sundown - Hawkwind

Well hurry on sundown
See what tomorrow brings
Hurry on sundown
See what tomorrow brings
Well it may bring war
Any old thing
Well look into your mind's eye
See what you can see
There's hundreds of people like you and me.

quite simple but if you hear them in the song its really nice

 

The entire lyrics to the song "Happy Homemaker" by Melanie Doane.

 

you rhapsodize about beauty
and my eyes glaze
everything i love is ugly
i mean really, you would be amazed
just do me a favor
it's the least that you can do
just don't treat me like i am
something that happened to you

adam and eve - ani difranco
