what is/are your favourite quote(s) from a song?

 

"Thinking back to the season before
Looking back through the cracks in the door
Two people were married
The act was outrageous
The bride was contagious
She burned like a bride
These events may have had some effect
On the man with the girl by his side
The arc of a love affair
His hands rolling down her hair
Love like lightning shaking till it moans
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones


And whoa whoa
She said why?
Why don’t we drive through the night
And we’ll wake up down in
Mexico
Oh I
Oh, I – I don’t know nothin’ about nothin’
About Mexico

And tell me why
Why won’t you love me
For who I am
Where I am

He said: ‘cause that’s not the way the world is baby
This is how I love you baby
This is how I love you baby"

 

the herbivors ate well cuz there food didnt never run-phish

 

The Border Patrol Outside Of Tucson Boarded The Bus
Any Aliens Here You Better Check With Us
How About You Son You Like You’ve Got
Spanish Blood
Do You Habla Inglese? Am I Understood

Sal
Yes I Am An Alien From Mars
I Come To Earth From Outer Space
And If I Traveled My Whole Life
You Guys Would Still Be On My Case
You Guys Would Still Be On My Case

 

of course i love the quote in my sig, coutesy of dead can dance.


i also like a lot of hawksley workman's lyrics:

so don't act so damn tragic
in front of your poor mother,
she brought you here and now you have
to stay.
so be thankful that you're in love,
be thankful that you're in pieces,
cause baby it's a beggar being bitten by this bug,
after all we all young.
we're all lethal and young.

***

and only one thing got me huffy:
i'm jealous of your cigarette,
and all the things you do with it...

***

we don't know how to make it go, we were only told how to burn it down, then skip town.


and cat power has some pretty thought provoking lyrics.

hey the headlights are getting too close to me,
hey the headlights are cutting me.
and i can see i'm alone,
it's cold as hell.

 

Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world.


Let it be known there is a fountain that was not made by the hands of man.

What in the world ever became of sweet Jane? She's lost that sparkle you know she isn't the same. Living on reds, vitamin C, and cocaine. All a friend can say is, "ain't it ashame".

 

i have many but above all its this from imagine (lennon):


Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...



and this from pods and gods by nofx:

I don't understand why you beg for forgiveness
Just before you do it again
Is it more altruistic to worship
Or actually help fellow man?


and i really like the line "second verse, same as the first" in henry the 8th (herman's hermits) and when they say "canidate's debate" in mrs. robinson (simon and garfunkel).
there's a lot more too. those are the ones i thought of first tho

 

The piano has been drinking
My necktie is asleep
And the combo went back to New York
The jukebox has to take a leak
And the carpet needs a haircut
And the spotlight looks like a prison break
'Cause the telephone's out of cigarettes
And the balcony's on the make
And the piano has been drinking
The piano has been drinking...

And the menus are all freezing
And the lightman's blind in one eye
And he can't see out of the other
And the piano-tuner's got a hearing aid
And he showed up with his mother
And the piano has been drinking
The piano has been drinking

'Cause the bouncer is a Sumo wrestler
Cream puff casper milk toast
And the owner is a mental midget
With the I.Q. of a fencepost
'Cause the piano has been drinking
The piano has been drinking...

And you can't find your waitress
With a Geiger counter
And she hates you and your friends
And you just can't get served
Without her
And the box-office is drooling
And the bar stools are on fire
And the newspapers were fooling
And the ash-trays have retired
The piano has been drinking
The piano has been drinking
The piano has been drinking
Not me, not me, not me, not me, not me

 

it's never over... my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
it's never over... all my riches for the sweetness of her laughter
it's never over... all my blood for her smile when i slept so soft against her
it's never over... she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever

or something to that effect

 

do everything turn turn turn
theres is a season turn turn turn
and a time to every purpose under heaven
a time to be born a time to die a time to plant a time to reap a time to kill a time to heal a time to laugh a time to weep

do everything turn turn turn
theres is a season turn turn turn
and a time to every purpose under heaven
a time to be up a time to be break down
time to dance time to morn
a time to cast away stones a time to gather stones together

do everything turn turn turn
there is a season turn turn turn
and a time to every purpose under heaven
a time to love a time to hate time of war time of peace
a time you may embrace a time refame

do everything turn turn turn
there is a season turn turn turn
and a time to every purpose under heaven
a time to gain a time to lose
a time to rain a time to sow
a time for love a time for hate
a time for Peace i swear its not too late....


~Byrds

 

Here is the mystery of the quotient (quotient)
Upon us all (upon us all) a little rain must fall
Just a little rain...

 

god theres too many to count....but heres a few, off the top of my head.

Who will Save the Sane

Periodic tableware
Psychotrophic science fare

But who will save the sane?
Some beings
Just can't change
Now crawl on by
With a fake tear in your eye
And think
Isn't he strange?

Pseudogasmic chemistry
Necromorphic apathy

Physical laws unapplied
Hamper my request
Unsurreal world
Of unfailed HIV tests
Der übermensch warning of
pi (techno junkies)
3.141592653...
come on boy, tell me, tell me

tentative ambulance
date bound for G ward
Beartrap psychiatrist bait
chew my paw off
Unmercilessly we will take you
Away to slumber
But only if you can recite
Avogadro's number

Now crawl on by
With a fake tear in your eye
And think
Wasn't he strange?

Love You To Death

In her place one hundred candles burning
As salty sweat drips from her breast
Her hips move and I can feel what they're saying, swaying
They say the beast inside of me's gonna get ya, get ya, get...

Black lipstick stains her class of red wine
I am your servant, may I light your cigarette?
Those lips smooth, yeah I can feel what you're saying, praying
They say the beast inside of me's gonna get ya, get ya, get...

I beg to serve, your wish is my law
Now close those eyes and let me love you to death
Shall I prove I mean what I'm saying, begging
I say the beast inside of me's gonna get ya, get ya, get..

Let me love you too
Let me love you to death

Hey am I good enough for you?
Hey am I good enough for you?
Am I?
Am I?
Am I good enough?
For you?

Bloody Kisses (A Death In The Family)

Not long ago but far away
A rainy winter's day
All her pain she kept inside
Could no longer hide
No cry for help
She killed herself
Both life & love could not be saved
She took them both to the grave

A pair of souls become undone
Where were two now one
Divided by this wall of death
I soon will join you yet
With my blood I'll find your love
You found the strength to end you life
As you did so shall I

Oh no
Please don't go
It's like a death in the family

A crimson pool so warm & deep
Lulls me to an endless sleep
Your hand in mine - I will be brave
Take me from this earth
An endless night - this, the end of my life
From the dark I feel your lips
And I taste your bloody kiss

Oh no
Please don't go
It's like a death in the family

Don't die on me
Don't die on me
Don't die on me
Don't die
-------------------------------

All Hallows Eve

Fall fires burn 'neath
Black twisted boughs
Sacrifice to above
Smoke swirling quickly
Towards misting clouds
Offering of this blood
Into the flames
And without shame
Consumed with howls
And screams
Pumpkins grin
In their despair
On All Hallows Eve

Cruel be the wind
As it quells my words
I shout out to the rain
Incantations I so hoped
You've heard
That you live again
From deep Earth
Brings forth rebirth
Witness but I shant believe
From below a chilling glow
On All Hallows Eve

Be spiderwebbed
And glazed in frost
She wears death beautifully
More stunning now
Than in her life
On a bed of Autumn leaves
Into her eyes
And quite surprised
I whispered
Don't you leave
Sing macabre songs
And we'll dance 'til dawn
On All Hallows Eve

Saint Lucifer hear me
Praying to thee
On this eve of all saints
High be the price
But then nothing is free
My soul I'll gladly trade

Cold is the night
In so many ways
Luna round, full and bright
Deep be the mud
On the fresh dug graves
On yours I recite
An ancient spell
I know so well
Success is guaranteed
I'll bring you back
From where you've gone
On All Hallows Eve
----------------------------------

Let me say
Pepsi Generation
A few lines
Of misinformation
Watch your money
Flow away oh so quick
To kill yourself properly,
Coke is it
-----------------------------

haha now im done

 

cool, you resurrected a muchly old thread of mine, i feel all special, this never happens

more dead can dance's freaking amaaaazing lyrics. yes i love them.

***
THE TRIAL
All my senses rebel
Under the scrutiny of their persistent gaze.
It took a lifetime to get here,
A journey I'll never make again.

For those who have accepted the burden of shame,
For the innocent only guilt will remain
And our lives will be forced to accomodate
The perpetrators of our own bastard race.

All my senses rebel
Under the scrutiny of their persistent gaze.
It took a lifetime to get here,
A journey I'll never make again.

I stand accused of thousand and one crimes,
A witness to events that led to this present time.
These traditions which bind our hands and keep us tied
Will never survive the greatest test of time.

Deliver me from those feverish eyes
That threaten to unbalance my state of mind,
For I must confess only to the smallest of crimes.
A sense of guilt. (x4)

***

Wild in the woods of love
We harm those whom we adore
And contrary to all good intentions
We suffocate them in an alarming embrace.

***

Amidst the throes of perplexity
Phobia moves amongst us, in her hand is held the seed.
Extermination angel stood beside the road
In violent retribution for the seeds we have sown.

***

With one wish we wake the will
within wisdom.
With one will we wish the wisdom
within waking.
Woken, wishing, willing.

 

and a thousand people ate one strawberry

 

ah your welcome. those lyrics kick ass! lol this is such a fun thread i shall add more lyrics.

 

What song reminds you of when life was
Home on the dangerous
Which side of the tracks are you on
Both sides because the world is round
Sacred Cows are headed for the slaughter
Sacred chickens pecking cement
Making unknown nuggets for the miners
So they can make cement excrement

 

Be my Druidess

Be my druidess
Be my everything
Be my druidess
Be mine

Around the dyre, a circle of thirteen
Thoughout these woods, ecstatic screams
I look deeply into your eyes
I smell your hair, caress your thighs

Now we'll make love by fire light
A blaze so high it lights the night
Long fingernails dug in my skin
Yourself so wet invites me in

Our lust increased feeds desire
As we combust, yeah we on fire
I feel you shake so deep inside
Ooh scream my name and squeeze me tight

I'll do anything to make you come
-------------------------------------
(ah i love this one. lol)

Der Untermensch

a. Socioparasite

Hey you on public assistance
Why don't you get a job?
Sell some dope and buy some pride
It's the only thing you couldn't rob

Socioparasite
Socioparasite

How does it feel to live for free?
Get off society's back
Skells like you allowed to live
You wonder why we're taxed
şŃşÓ
Socioparasite
Socioparasite

b. Waste of Life

Waste of life
You're a waste of life

Getting fucked up on Classon Avenue
Smoking crack and drinking booze
Spike in your arm
No money for food
But there's plenty of gas in your BMW

There's a dopewhore waiting at home
Dealing your shit on the chemophone
Poor Tawana gets born with a birth defect
But it only increases your welfare check

Been doing some thinking and I have an answer
To arrest the spreading cancer
Send you back to where you came from
Get the fuck rid of you (sub)human scum

If you don't pay taxes you shouldn't vote
So get in line and get back on the boat
I'd love to tear down all those projects
Kiss my ass home relief reject

Waste of life
You're a waste of life
Waste of life
You're a waste of life
----------------------------

As a spark still I knew
I'll be lured , be consumed
She a pyre incarnate,
Incinerate
An inferno
turned to flesh
-------------------------------

Summer Breeze (alternative lyrics)

Her golden hair moving as the wind blows
Full moon on a Friday night
Little candle burning in the window
Lets me know everything's all right

Summer Girl make me feel fine
Always in the corner of my mind

Kenny Hickey lying on the sidewalk
Devil music from the house next door
So I step on over his vomit
Through the screen and across the floor

Sweet days of summer
Her love is in bloom
July is dressed up
And playing her tune

When I come home
From a hard days night
And you're waiting there
I don't have a care
A care in this world

See her smile lead me to the bedroom
Fire burning and there's wine for two
Feel your legs spreading out to take me
Just can't wait to get inside of you...
