Favourite music lyrics ever?

[ACF]

So... what's yours?

Forgot to add mine-

Like a tomato in the rain, I got that feeling again,

Like a Greyhound in a race, I got a rabbit to chase

Courtesy of the Kaiser Chiefs.

Would be interesting to here some of the favourites.

[General Smuts]

Lyrics have always been my favourite part of any song.

If it makes me laugh i instantly like the song. When i was one of them emo types i used to take lyrics to heart as well. Some of the lyrics that stuck out the most:

'Lovesick and sick of it'

'I've got secrets trapped in my fishnets

I'm a coward man that works in an office block

I was a child who craved for a new world

I was a boy who yearned to be a cover girl'

Plus any Smiths lyric on The Queen Is Dead.

[purpleronnie]

Bob Dylan 'Chimes Of Freedom'

Far between sundowns finish an midnights broken toll

We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing

As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds

Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing

Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight

Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight

An for each an evry underdog soldier in the night

An we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.

In the citys melted furnace, unexpectedly we watched

With faces hidden while the walls were tightening

As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowin rain

Dissolved into the bells of the lightning

Tolling for the rebel, tolling for the rake

Tolling for the luckless, the abandoned an forsaked

Tolling for the outcast, burnin constantly at stake

An we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.

Through the mad mystic hammering of the wild ripping hail

The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder

That the clinging of the church bells blew far into the breeze

Leaving only bells of lightning and its thunder

Striking for the gentle, striking for the kind

Striking for the guardians and protectors of the mind

An the unpawned painter behind beyond his rightful time

An we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.

Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales

For the disrobed faceless forms of no position

Tolling for the tongues with no place to bring their thoughts

All down in taken-for-granted situations

Tolling for the deaf an blind, tolling for the mute

Tolling for the mistreated, mateless mother, the mistitled prostitute

For the misdemeanor outlaw, chased an cheated by pursuit

An we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.

Even though a clouds white curtain in a far-off corner flashed

An the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting

Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones

Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting

Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless, seeking trail

For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale

An for each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail

An we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.

Starry-eyed an laughing as I recall when we were caught

Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended

As we listened one last time an we watched with one last look

Spellbound an swallowed til the tolling ended

Tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed

For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones an worse

An for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe

An we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.

[General Smuts]

Back in school they never taught us

what we needed to know

Like how to deal with despair

or someone breakin your heart

For twelve years I've held it all together

but a night like this is just beggin to pull me apart

I played it quiet left you deep in conversation

I felt uncool and hung out around the kitchen

I remember I kept thinking

that I know you never would

And now I know I want to kill you

like only a best friend could

Everyone's caught on to everything you do

Everyone's caught on to...

As if it happening wasn't enough

I got to go and write a song

just to remind myself how bad it sucked

Ignore the sun, covers over my head

Wrote a message on my pillow that says

"Jesse, stay asleep in bed"

don't apologize (I hope you choke and die!)

Search your cell for something which to hang yourself

They say you need to pray

if you want to go to heaven

But they don't tell you what to say

when your whole life is going to Hell!

Everyone's caught on to everything you do

Everyone's caught on to...

Everyone's caught on to

(and I can't let you let me down again)

everything you do

Everyone's caught on to...

(and I can't let you let me down again)

So is that what you call a getaway?

Well tell me what you got away with

Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish

I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kids

Have another drink and drive yourself home

I hope there's ice on all the roads

And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt

then again when your head goes through the windshield

Is that what you call tact?

You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back

So let's end this call and end this conversation

And is that what you call a getaway?

Tell me what you got away with

Cause you left the frays from the ties you severed

when you say "best friends" means friends forever

Is that what you call a getaway?

Well tell me what you got away with

Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish

I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kids

Have another drink and drive yourself home

I hope there's ice on all the roads

And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt

then again when your head goes through the windshield

(I can't let you let me down again)

Everyone's caught on to everything you do

(and I can't let you let me down again)

Everyone's caught on to...

(I can't let you let me down again)

Everyone's caught on to everything you do

(and I can't let you let me down again)

Everyone's caught on to...

Confession. I used to <3 Fall Out Boy lyrics.

[General Smuts]

How hard can it be

To get a slap on the back from a room full of morons?

So you hate my sunglasses?

Well your precious Leeds is dead

Just so long as you know

The clean and the green

Make up you're music scene

And shy away from the words

That they've written for me

Can't you see that

Someones got their eye on you now

Don't you know?

And I don't want to be the one to let you know

La la la la can you hear me

I don't know

La la la la can you hear me

I don't think so

You should leave it to me

We cover insignificant miles for a miniature bottle

Do you know what I mean?

I don't think so

But we go for a smoke in the Smoke

And I like what I see

It's a vicious cycle but who cares when it's happening to me?

It's obscene

Can't you see that?

Someones got their eye on you now

Don't you know?

And I don't want to be the one to let you know

La la la la can you hear me

I don't know

La la la la can you hear me

I don't think so

[Unabomber]

Confession. I used to <3 Fall Out Boy lyrics.

Brand New?

[Bellend Sebastian]

As we lie, you say:

'Will the world end in the day time?'

I really don't know

'Or will the world end in the night time?'

I really don't know

'And is there any point in ever having children?'

Oh, I don't know

But what I do know

Is we're here and it's now

[General Smuts]

Brand New?

It was sposed to be a seperate post but they merged.

Yeah that's 70x7 by Brand New.

I still like FOB lyrics (first 2 albums)

[lavrentis]

Confession. I used to <3 Fall Out Boy lyrics.

So did I.

Take this to your grave

After that, they became shit.

[Samilktray]

We all chase the money, Because were too scared to chase our dreams.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

If I just believe it, there's nothing to it,

I believe I can fly.

[The Doctor]

Weird al yankovic - Bomb Iraq

well the work shop is gone now,he decided to bomb it

Every where you find pieces of cupid and comet

he tied up his helpers and held the elves hostage

and he ground up poor rudolph into reindeer sausage

he got dancer and prancer with an old german luger

and he slashed up dasher just like freddy kruger

and he picked up a flamethrower, he barbequed blitzen

took a big bite and said it tastes just like chicken

the night santa went crazy

the night kris kringle went nuts

now you can't hardly walk around the north pole

without stepping in reindeer guts.

[StanSP]

So did I.

Take this to your grave

After that, they became shit.

Folie A Deux is crap album.

From Under The Cork Tree I think is the best.

[Webbo]

There’s a man I meet walks up our street

He’s a worker for the council

Has been twenty years

And he takes no lip off nobody

And litter off the gutter

Puts it in a bag

And never seems to mutter

And he packs his lunch in a sunblest bag

The children call him bogie

He never lets on

But I know ’cause he once told me

He let me know a secret about the money in his kitty

He’s gonna buy a dinghy

Gonna call her dignity

And I’ll sail her up the west coast

Through villages and towns

I’ll be on my holidays

They’ll be doing their rounds

They’ll ask me how I got her I’ll say I saved my money

They’ll say isn’t she pretty that ship called dignity

And I’m telling this story

In a faraway scene

Sipping down raki

And reading maynard keynes

And I’m thinking about home and all that means

And a place in the winter for dignity

And I’ll sail her up the west coast

Through villages and towns

I’ll be on my holidays

They’ll be doing their rounds

They’ll ask me how I got her I’ll say I saved my money

They’ll say isn’t she pretty that ship called dignity

And I’m thinking about home

And I’m thinking about faith

And I’m thinking about work

And I’m thinking about how good it would be

To be here some day

On a ship called dignity

A ship called dignity

That ship

[Bellend Sebastian]

I can't stand that song, Webbo, but my mate loves it so you're not the only one.

I do quite like 'Chocolate Girl', though, for some reason

[StanSP]

All your twisted thoughts free flow

To everlasting memories

Show soul

Kiss the stars with me

And dread the wait for

Stupid calls returning us to life

We say to those who are in love

It can't be true 'cause we're too young

I know that's true because

so long I was

So in love with you

So I thought

A year goes by

And I can't talk about it

The times were right

But I couldn't talk about it

On my knees

Dim lighted room

Thoughts free flow try to consume

Myself in this

I'm not faithless

Just paranoid of getting lost or that I might lose

Ignorance is bliss cherish it

Pretty neighborhoods

You learn too much to hold

Believe it not

And fight the tears

With pretty smiles and lies

About the times

A year goes by

And I can't talk about it

The times were right

But I couldn't talk about it

The times weren't right

And I couldn't talk about it

The times were right

But I couldn't talk about it

Choris Romance says goodnight

Close your eyes and I'll close mine

Remember you, remember me

Hurt the first, the last, between

Choris Romance says goodnight

Close your eyes and I'll close mine

Remember you, remember me

Hurt the first, the last, between

And I'm praying that we will see

Something there in between

Then and there that exceeds all we can dream

So we can talk about it

[guitar solo]

Just maybe, we might see

Something there in between

Then and there that exceeds all we can dream

And all these twisted thoughts I see

Something there in between

And all these twisted thoughts I see

Something there in between

And all these twisted thoughts I see

Something there in between

Just maybe, we might see

Something there in between

Then and there that exceeds all we can dream [repeat 3x]

And all these twisted thoughts I see

Something there in between

[Webbo]

Well we were born within one hour of each other.

Our mothers said we could be sister and brother.

Your name is Deborah, Deborah.

It never suited ya.

Oh they thought that when we grew up,

we'd get married, and never split up.

We never did it, although often I thought of it.

Oh Deborah, do you recall?

Your house was very small,

with wood chip on the wall.

When I came around to call,

you didn't notice me at all.

I said let's all meet up in the year 2000.

Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown.

Be there at 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road.

I never knew that you'd get married.

I would be living down here on my own on

that damp and lonely Thursday years ago.

You were the first girl at school to get breasts.

Martyn said that yours were the best.

The boys all loved you but I was a mess.

I had to watch them trying to get you undressed.

We were friends but that was as far as it went.

I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant,

oh it meant nothing to you,

cos you were so popular.

Deborah do you recall?

Your house was very small,

with woodchip on the wall.

When I came around to call,

you didn't notice me at all.

I said let's all meet up in the year 2000.

Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown.

Be there at 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road.

I never knew that you'd get married.

I would be living down here on my own

on that damp and lonely Thursday years ago.

Oh yeah,

oh yeah.

Ah do you recall?

Your house was very small,

with wood chip on the wall.

When I came around to call,

you didn't notice me at all.

I said let's all meet up in the year 2000.

Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown.

Be there at 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road.

I never knew that you'd get married.

I would be living down here on my own,

on that damp and lonely Thursday years ago.

Oh what are you doing Sunday baby.

Would you like to come and meet me maybe?

You can even bring your baby.

Ohhh ooh ooh. Ooh ooh ooh ooh.

What are you doing Sunday baby.

Would you like to come and meet me maby?

You can even bring your baby.

Ooh ooh oh. Ooh ooh ooh ooh. Ooh ooh ooh ooh. Oh.

As a decorator, any song that name checks woodchip is OK by me.

[purpleronnie]

I can't stand that song, Webbo, but my mate loves it so you're not the only one.

I do quite like 'Chocolate Girl', though, for some reason

I used to like it when I was younger but not much now, I like chocolate girl too.. Bit of a guilty pleasure.

[Granno]

Do you know what's worth fighting for,

When it's not worth dying for?

Does it take your breath away

And you feel yourself suffocating?

Does the pain weigh out the pride?

And you look for a place to hide?

Did someone break your heart inside?

You're in ruins.

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms into the sky,

You and I

When you're at the end of the road

And you lost all sense of control

And your thoughts have taken their toll

When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul

Your faith walks on broken glass

And the hangover doesn't pass

Nothing's ever built to last

You're in ruins.

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms into the sky,

You and I

Did you try to live on your own

When you burned down the house and home?

Did you stand too close to the fire?

Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone

When it's time to live and let die

And you can't get another try

Something inside this heart has died

You're in ruins.

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms into the sky (x2)

you and I.

[purpleronnie]

Love this song by John Prine, you may of never heard of him but dylan is a fan and Johnny cash was a fan of his work.

We lost Davy in the Korean war,

And I still don't know what for, don't matter anymore.

Hello In There

We had an apartment in the city,

Me and Loretta liked living there.

Well, it'd been years since the kids had grown,

A life of their own left us alone.

John and Linda live in Omaha,

And Joe is somewhere on the road.

We lost Davy in the Korean war,

And I still don't know what for, don't matter anymore.

Ya' know that old trees just grow stronger,

And old rivers grow wilder ev'ry day.

Old people just grow lonesome

Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello."

Me and Loretta, we don't talk much more,

She sits and stares through the back door screen.

And all the news just repeats itself

Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen.

Someday I'll go and call up Rudy,

We worked together at the factory.

But what could I say if asks "What's new?"

"Nothing, what's with you? Nothing much to do."

So if you're walking down the street sometime

And spot some hollow ancient eyes,

Please don't just pass 'em by and stare

As if you didn't care, say, "Hello in there, hell

[Ultra]

Sup up your beer and collect your fags -

There's a row going on down near Slough.

Get out your mat and pray to the West.

I'll get out mine and pray for myself.

Thought you were smart when you took them on,

But you didn't take a peep in their artillery room.

All that rugby puts hairs on your chest.

What chance have you got against a tie and a crest?

Hello-Hooray - what a nice day for the Eton Rifles.

Hello-Hooray- I hope rain stops play for the Eton Rifles.

Thought you were clever when you lit the fuse,

Tore down the house of commons in your brand new shoes,

Composed a revolutionary symphony,

Then went to bed with a charming young thing.

Hello-Hooray - cheers then, mate. It's the Eton Rifles.

Hello-Hooray - an extremist scrape with the Eton Rifles.

What a catalyst you turned out to be:

Loaded the guns, then you run off home for your tea -

Left me standing like a guilty schoolboy...

What a catalyst you turned out to be:

Loaded the guns, then you run off home for your tea -

Left me standing like a naughty schoolboy...

We came out of it naturally the worst:

Beaten and bloody, and I was sick down my shirt.

We were no match for their untamed wit,

Though some of the lads said they'd be back next week.

Hello-Hooray - it's the price to pay to the Eton Rifles.

Hello-Hooray - I'd prefer the plague to the Eton Rifles.

Hello-Hooray - it's the price to pay to the Eton Rifles.

Hello-Hooray - I'd prefer the plague to the Eton Rifles.

Still as relevant now as when they written in 1979..

[Salieri]

One of my favourite Bob Dylan songs, 'IT'S ALRIGHT, MA (I'M ONLY BLEEDING)'

Darkness at the break of noon

Shadows even the silver spoon

The handmade blade, the child's balloon

Eclipses both the sun and moon

To understand you know too soon

There is no sense in trying.

Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn

Suicide remarks are torn

From the fool's gold mouthpiece

The hollow horn plays wasted words

Proves to warn

That he not busy being born

Is busy dying.

Temptation's page flies out the door

You follow, find yourself at war

Watch waterfalls of pity roar

You feel to moan but unlike before

You discover

That you'd just be

One more person crying.

So don't fear if you hear

A foreign sound to your ear

It's alright, Ma, I'm only sighing.

As some warn victory, some downfall

Private reasons great or small

Can be seen in the eyes of those that call

To make all that should be killed to crawl

While others say don't hate nothing at all

Except hatred.

Disillusioned words like bullets bark

As human gods aim for their mark

Made everything from toy guns that spark

To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark

It's easy to see without looking too far

That not much

Is really sacred.

While preachers preach of evil fates

Teachers teach that knowledge waits

Can lead to hundred-dollar plates

Goodness hides behind its gates

But even the president of the United States

Sometimes must have

To stand naked.

An' though the rules of the road have been lodged

It's only people's games that you got to dodge

And it's alright, Ma, I can make it.

Advertising signs that con you

Into thinking you're the one

That can do what's never been done

That can win what's never been won

Meantime life outside goes on

All around you.

You lose yourself, you reappear

You suddenly find you got nothing to fear

Alone you stand with nobody near

When a trembling distant voice, unclear

Startles your sleeping ears to hear

That somebody thinks

They really found you.

A question in your nerves is lit

Yet you know there is no answer fit to satisfy

Insure you not to quit

To keep it in your mind and not fergit

That it is not he or she or them or it

That you belong to.

Although the masters make the rules

For the wise men and the fools

I got nothing, Ma, to live up to.

For them that must obey authority

That they do not respect in any degree

Who despise their jobs, their destinies

Speak jealously of them that are free

Cultivate their flowers to be

Nothing more than something

They invest in.

While some on principles baptized

To strict party platform ties

Social clubs in drag disguise

Outsiders they can freely criticize

Tell nothing except who to idolize

And then say God bless him.

While one who sings with his tongue on fire

Gargles in the rat race choir

Bent out of shape from society's pliers

Cares not to come up any higher

But rather get you down in the hole

That he's in.

But I mean no harm nor put fault

On anyone that lives in a vault

But it's alright, Ma, if I can't please him.

Old lady judges watch people in pairs

Limited in sex, they dare

To push fake morals, insult and stare

While money doesn't talk, it swears

Obscenity, who really cares

Propaganda, all is phony.

While them that defend what they cannot see

With a killer's pride, security

It blows the minds most bitterly

For them that think death's honesty

Won't fall upon them naturally

Life sometimes

Must get lonely.

My eyes collide head-on with stuffed graveyards

False gods, I scuff

At pettiness which plays so rough

Walk upside-down inside handcuffs

Kick my legs to crash it off

Say okay, I have had enough

What else can you show me?

And if my thought-dreams could be seen

They'd probably put my head in a guillotine

But it's alright, Ma, it's life, and life only.

[Jay]

I think these lyrics are total genius Trent Reznors lyrics to Hurt.

I think you can put these lyrics and draw reference from numerous different situations and to every person the lyrics will mean something else but it's just such a personal song the Cash version is basically my favourite cover and video ever. And the NIN one as well

I hurt myself today

To see if I still feel

I focus on the pain

The only thing that's real

The needle tears a hole

The old familiar sting

Try to kill it all away

But I remember everything

What have I become

My sweetest friend

Everyone I know

goes away

In the end

And you could have it all

My empire of dirt

I will let you down

I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns

Upon my liar's chair

Full of broken thoughts

I cannot repair

Beneath the stains of time

The feelings disappear

You are someone else

I am still right here

What have I become

My sweetest friend

Everyone I know

goes away

In the end

And you could have it all

My empire of dirt

I will let you down

I will make you hurt

If I could start again

A million miles away

I would keep myself

I would find a way

[Hugo Sanchez]

There are places i'll remember

All my life though some have changed

Some forever not for better

Some have gone and some remain

All these places have their moments

With lovers and friends i still can recall

Some are dead and some are living

In my life i've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers

There is no one compares with you

And these memories lose their meaning

When i think of love as something new

Though i know i'll never lose affection

For people and things that went before

I know i'll often stop and think about them

In my life i love you more

Though i know i'll never lose affection

For people and things that went before

I know i'll often stop and think about them

In my life i love you more

In my life i love you more

[purpleronnie]

Just out of interest whats that tattoed on her back?, looks terrible, I never will understand tatoos like that, especially people who have their childrens name tatooed on them, why? Incase they forget?, always seems like attention seeking.
