Favourite music lyrics ever?

[Ultra]

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,

With tangerine trees and marmalade skies

Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,

A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,

Towering over your head.

Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,

And she's gone.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds.

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain

Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies,

Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,

That grow so incredibly high.

Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,

Waiting to take you away.

Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,

And you're gone.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds,

Picture yourself on a train in a station,

With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,

Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile,

The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes.

[SOCCERROO FOX]

I kissed a ginge i dint like it

Won't tell my mates about it

Beer goggles on

What went so wrong

Will i catch gingivitis?

[Jay]

We all recognise that I'm the problem here

We all recognise that I'm the problem here

It's impossible to know or so it seems

What I'm supposed to do with you on anything

I know that playing this time is going to fall on me

'Cause we all recognise that I'm the problem here

Can't help but feel attacked, what's that supposed to mean

I know I won't relax or act like it's no big deal

This happens all the time; it's kind of our routine

But we all recognise that I'm the problem here

We all recognise that I'm the problem here

We all recognise that I'm the problem here

We all recognise that I'm the problem here

We all recognise that I'm the problem

I am the son

And the heir

Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar

I am the son and heir

Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth

How can you say

I go about things the wrong way

I am human and I need to be loved

Just like everybody else does

I am the son

And the heir

Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar

I am the son and the heir

Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth

How can you say

I go about things the wrong way

I am human and I need to be loved

Just like everybody else does

There's a club, if you'd like to go

You could meet somebody who really loves you

So you go, and you stand on your own

And you leave on your own

And you go home

And you cry

And you want to die

When you say it's gonna happen now,

Well, when exactly do you mean?

See I've already waited too long

And all my hope is gone

I am human And I need to be loved

Just like everybody else does

Hand in glove

The sun shines out of our behinds

No, it's not like any other love

This one is different - because it's us

Hand in glove

We can go wherever we please

And everything depends upon

How near you stand to me

And if the people stare

Then the people stare

Oh, I really don't know and I really don't care

Kiss My Shades

Hand in glove

The Good People laugh

Yes, we may be hidden by rags

But we've something they'll never have

Hand in glove

The sun shines out of our behinds

Yes, we may be hidden by rags

But we've something they'll never have

And if the people stare

Then the people stare

Oh, I really don't know and I really don't care

Kiss My Shades ... oh ...

So, hand in glove I stake my claim

I'll fight to the last breath

If they dare touch a hair on your head

I'll fight to the last breath

For the "good life" is out there somewhere

So stay on my arm, you little charmer

But I know my luck too well

Yes, I know my luck too well

And I'll probably never see you again

I'll probably never see you again

I'll probably never see you again

Oh ...

do you believe in a god that satifies

do you believe in a god that opens eyes

do you believe in a god that tells you lies

or do you believe in me

do you believe in a god that brings you down

do you believe in a god that wears a crown

do you believe in a god that make you bow

or do you believe in me

There's a million MC's that claim they want some

But see, I create sounds that make your ears go numb

Peace to Sayers Ave., yeah you know how we go

My best friend Steven at the Home Depot

Laurelton is in the house, I can't forget Southside

Walk past MC's like that girl did the Pharcyde

I'm labeled as the cat's meow, the MC with the know-how

Act like you know, not now, but right now

Beast of the East, on MC's I have a feast

I'd eat that ass like quiche, crack a smile like Shanice

Straight out Jamaica scene, Jamaica, Queens

But you could find me out in Georgia, or anywhere in between

Now if my partners don't look good, Malik won't look good

If Malik don't look good, the Quest won't look good

If the Quest don't look good, then Queens won't look good

But since the sounds are universal, New York won't look good

Picture Phife losin a battle, come on, get off it

Put down the microphone son, surrender forfeit

Did I hear somethin bout a crew? What they wanna do?

You better call Mr. Babyface, so he can bring out _The Cool in You_

or it'll be a sad love song being sung by Toni Braxton

And I'll dissect you like a fraction

Oh, you wannabe top cat MC's, I'll pop you like a zit

You wanna be the champ, you more like Chief Some-shit

Big up myself everytime when it comes to this

MC's be runnin scared as if they're watchin the Exorcist

I kick more game than a crackhead from Hempstead

My styles are milk, man, you'd think that I was breast fed

You know the steelo when the diggy Dawg is on the scene

I dedicate this to all the MC's outta Queens

that goes for Onyx, LL, Run-D.M.C.

Akinyele, Nasty Nas and the Extra P

You need a chart, straight up and down man, there ain't no other

Nuff respect to all my peeps that made the album cover

Yo, Tip don't worry Dunn you know I get the party jumpin

Get on the mic and break em off a lil lil sumthin

Yo, Tip don't worry Dunn you know I get the party jumpin

Get on the mic and break em off a lil lil sumthin (Ooohh...)

[Fox92]

Ok, the following line is taken from Lovely Rita which was wrote by Paul McCartney and John Lennon, thus performed by The Beatles;

May I inquire discreetly

I just think that line is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, line ever to be wrote and it really is my favourite line in a song.

[Libertine]

Manic Street Preachers - Yes

For sale? dumb cunt's same dumb questions

Oh virgins? listen, all virgins are liars honey

And I don't know what I'm scared of or what I even enjoy

Dulling, get money, but nothing turns out like you want it to

And in these plagued streets of pity you can buy anything

For $200 anyone can conceive a God on video

He's a boy, you want a girl so tear off his cock

Tie his hair in bunches, fuck him, call him Rita if you want

I eat and I dress and I wash and I still can say thank you

Puking - shaking - sinking I still stand for old ladies

Can't shout, can't scream, hurt myself to get pain out

I 'T' them, 24:7, all year long

Purgatory's circle, drowning here, someone will always say yes

Funny place for the social, for the insects to start caring

Just an ambulance at the bottom of a cliff

In these plagued streets of pity you can buy anything

For $200 anyone can conceive a God on video

He's a boy, you want a girl so tear off his cock

Tie his hair in bunches, fuck him, call him Rita if you want, if you want

I eat and I dress and I wash and I can still say thank you

Puking - shaking - sinking I still stand for old ladies

Can't shout, can't scream, I hurt myself to get pain out

Power produces desire, the weak have none

There's no lust in this coma even for a fifty

Solitude, solitude, the 11th commandment

The only certain thing that is left about me

There is no part of my body that has not been used

Pity or pain, to show displeasure's shame

Everyone I've loved or hated always seems to leave

And in these plagued streets of pity you can buy anything

For $200 anyone can conceive a God on video

He's a boy, you want a girl so tear off his cock

Tie his hair in bunches, fuck him, call him Rita if you want, if you want

Power produces desire, the weak have none

There's no lust in this coma even for a fifty

Solitude, solitude, the 11th commandment

Don't hurt, just obey, lie down, do as they say

May as well be heaven this hell, smells the same

These sunless afternoons I can't find myself

Manic Street Preachers - Faster

I am an architect, they call me a butcher

I am a pioneer, they call me primitive

I am purity, they call me perverted

Holding you but I only miss these things when they leave

I am idiot drug hive, the virgin, the tattered and the torn

Life is for the cold made warm and they are just lizards

Self-disgust is self-obsession honey and I do as I please

A morality obedient, only to the cleansed repented

I am stronger than Mensa, Miller and Mailer

I spat out Plath and Pinter

I am all the things that you regret

A truth that washes that learnt how to spell

The first time you see yourself naked you cry

Soft skin now acne, foul breath, so broken

He loves me truly this mute solitude I'm draining

I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing

Sleep can't hide the thoughts splitting through my mind

Shadows aren't clean, false mirrors too many people awake

If you stand up like a nail then you will be knocked down

I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else

I am stronger than Mensa, Miller and Mailer

I spat out Plath and Pinter

I am all the things that you regret

A truth that washes that learnt how to spell, learnt to spell

So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything x4

Joy Division - Atrocity Exhibition

Asylums with doors open wide,

Where people had paid to see inside,

For entertainment they watch his body twist

Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'

This is the way, step inside. x4

In arenas he kills for a prize,

Wins a minute to add to his life.

But the sickness is drowned by cries for more,

Pray to God, make it quick, watch him fall.

This is the way, step inside. x4

This is the way. x4

This is the way, step inside. x4

You'll see the horrors of a faraway place,

Meet the architects of law face to face.

See mass murder on a scale you've never seen,

And all the ones who try hard to succeed.

This is the way, step inside. x4

And I picked on the whims of a thousand or more,

Still pursuing the path that's been buried for years,

All the dead wood from jungles and cities on fire,

Can't replace or relate, can't release or repair,

Take my hand and I'll show you what was and will be.

Brett Dennen - Ain't No Reason

There ain’t no reason things are this way

It's how they always been and they intend to stay

I can't explain why we live this way,

We do it everyday.

Preachers on the podium speaking of saints

Paupers on the sidewalk begging for change

Old ladies laughing from the fire escape, cursing my name

I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same

A window and a pigeon with a broken wing

You can spend you whole life working for something,

Just to have it taken away

People walk around pushing back their debts

Wearing pay checks like necklaces and bracelets

Talking 'bout nothing, not thinking 'bout death

Every little heartbeat, every little breath

People walk a tight rope on a razor’s edge

Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons

It could be a bomb, or a bullet, or a pen

Or a thought, or a word, or a sentence

There ain't no reason things are this way

It's how they always been and they intend to stay

I don’t know why I say the things that I say,

But I say them anyway

But love will come set me free

Love will come set me free, I do believe

Love will come set me free, I know it will

Love will come set my free, yes.

Prison walls still standing tall

Some things never change at all

Keep on building prisons, gonna fill them all

Keep building bombs, gonna drop them all

Working your fingers bare to the bone

Breaking your back, make you sell your soul

Like a lung, it's filled with coal, sufficating slow

The wind blows wild and I may move

But politicians lie and I am not fooled

You don't need no reason or a three piece suit, to argue the truth

The air on my skin and the world under my toes

Slavery is stitched into the fabric of my clothes

Chaos and commotion wherever I go

Love, I try to follow

Love will come set me free

Love will come set me free, I do believe

Love will come set me free, I know it will

Love will come set my free, yes.

There ain't no reason things are this way

It's how they always been and they intend to stay

I can't explain why we live this way,

We do it everyday.

Bleh. Loads more, just some ones I could think of.

Public Enemy - Fight The Power

1989 the number another summer (get down)

Sound of the funky drummer

Music hittin' your heart cause I know you got soul

(Brothers and sisters, hey)

Listen if you're missin' y'all

Swingin' while I'm singin'

Givin' whatcha gettin'

Knowin' what I know

While the Black bands sweatin'

And the rhythm rhymes rollin'

Got to give us what we want

Gotta give us what we need

Our freedom of speech is freedom or death

We got to fight the powers that be

Lemme hear you say

Fight the power

Chorus

As the rhythm designed to bounce

What counts is that the rhymes

Designed to fill your mind

Now that you've realized the prides arrived

We got to pump the stuff to make us tough

from the heart

It's a start, a work of art

To revolutionize make a change nothin's strange

People, people we are the same

No we're not the same

Cause we don't know the game

What we need is awareness, we can't get careless

You say what is this?

My beloved lets get down to business

Mental self defensive fitness

(Yo) bum rush the show

You gotta go for what you know

Make everybody see, in order to fight the powers that be

Lemme hear you say...

Fight the Power

Chorus

Elvis was a hero to most

But he never meant shit to me you see

Straight up racist that sucker was

Simple and plain

Mother fook him and John Wayne

Cause I'm Black and I'm proud

I'm ready and hyped plus I'm amped

Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps

Sample a look back you look and find

Nothing but rednecks for 400 years if you check

Don't worry be happy

Was a number one jam

Damn if I say it you can slap me right here

(Get it) lets get this party started right

Right on, c'mon

What we got to say

Power to the people no delay

To make everybody see

In order to fight the powers that be

Ubiquitous in a thread this....

The Smiths - Nowhere Fast

I'd like to drop my trousers to the world

I am a man of means (of slender means)

Each household appliance

Is like a new science in my town

And if the day came when I felt a

Natural emotion

I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump

In the ocean

And when a train goes by

It's such a sad sound

No ...

It's such a sad thing

I'd like to drop my trousers to the Queen

Every sensible child will know what this means

The poor and the needy

Are selfish and greedy on her terms

And if the day came when I felt a

Natural emotion

I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump

In the ocean

And when a train goes by

It's such a sad sound

No ...

It's such a sad thing

And when I'm lying in my bed

I think about life

And I think about death

And neither one particularly appeals to me

And if the day came when I felt a

Natural emotion

I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie

In the middle of the street and die

I'd lie down and die ...

Oh, oh

[Hugo Sanchez]

When you're weary

Feeling small

When tears are in your eyes

I will dry them all

I'm on your side

When times get rough

And friends just can't be found

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

When you're down and out

When you're on the street

When evening falls so hard

I will comfort you

I'll take your part

When darkness comes

And pain is all around

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

Sail on Silver Girl,

Sail on by

Your time has come to shine

All your dreams are on their way

See how they shine

If you need a friend

I'm sailing right behind

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will ease your mind

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will ease your mind

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.

Earth Son by Michael Jackson

What about sunrise

What about rain

What about all the things

That you said we were to gain...

What about killing fields

Is there a time

What about all the things

That you said was yours and mine...

Did you ever stop to notice

All the blood we've shed before

Did you ever stop to notice

This crying Earth its weeping shores?
