Lyrics that hit you

I'm not a big lyrics guy. For me, it is like 10% of the listening experience. Icing on the cake. But them some lines you hear and just have to hear them again, yes?
For me, here are three recents.
"I miss my mom and dad for this?"
-Fun, Some Nights
"But your boys have grown soft, and your girls have gone wild."
-Battle Born, The Killers
"And now I'm drunker than before they told me drinking doesn't make me nice."
-Passion Pit, Constant Conversations
Go!

I wouldn't know where to begin.. It would have to depend on what mood I was in at the moment. I'll get back to you though haha

"You run and you run, to catch up to the sun but its sinking.
Racing around, to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way, but your older.
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death."
--Time, Pink Floyd

"You'll never lose you're mind
As long as you're heart always reminds you
Where you left it
And don't ever let them make you feel
Like saying what you want is unbecoming
If you were supposed to watch you're mouth
All the time, I doubt you're eyes would be above it
So I'll meet you at the bottom
If there really is one, they always told me
When you hit it you'll know it
But I've been falling so long
It's like gravity's gone and I'm just floating"

Quick to judge
Quick to anger
Slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice
And fear walk hand in hand...

can't remember the lyrics to tranlate to the post, but Imagine by John Lennon - gets me everytime.

Too many to list, as i think lyrics and music are inseparable.
But here are four of my all time favorites:
And the entire song Some Girls by The Rolling Stones
And The Times They Are A-Changin, especially this part:
I could go on for days in this discussion. And i plan to come back later
But here are four of my all time favorites:
quote:
A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
Finds a streetlight steps out of the shade
Says something like you and me babe how about it?
Juliet says hey it's Romeo, you nearly gimme me a heart attack
He's underneath the window she's singing hey la my boyfriend's back
You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that
Anyway what you gonna do about it?
Juliet the dice were loaded from the start
And I bet and you exploded in my heart
And I forget I forget the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?
quote:
Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize - we're floating in space -
Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry
Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
quote:
People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down
When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
quote:
All that you touch
And all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
And all that you love
And all that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
And all that you give
And all that you deal
And all that you buy
Beg, borrow or steal
And all you create
And all you destroy
And all that you do
And all that you say
And all that you eat
And everyone you meet
And all that you slight
And everyone you fight
And all that is now
And all that is gone
And all that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon
There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark.
And the entire song Some Girls by The Rolling Stones
And The Times They Are A-Changin, especially this part:
quote:
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.
I could go on for days in this discussion. And i plan to come back later

The theme of the party was the Industrial Age... so you came dressed as a train wreck.
She crashed into the Easter mass
With her hair done up in broken glass
She was limping left on her broken heels
When she said, "Father, can I tell your congregation how a resurrection really feels?"
Well the kids as the shows
They'll have kids of their own
And their sing a long songs will be our scriptures
I was seeing double for 3 straight days after I got born again
It felt strange but it was nice and peaceful.
It really pleased me to be around so many people.
Of course half were just visions
But half of them were friends from going through the program with me.
Later on we did some sexy things.
Took a couple photographs and carved them into wood reliefs.
But that's enough about me.
Tell me how you got down here into Ybor City?
Killer parties almost killed me.

quote:time, floyd
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
quote:biloxi parish, gaslight
I love you more than can I tell you,
When you pass through from this world,
I hope you ask to take me with you
So I don't have to wait for long
But until then I'll be with you through the dark,
And until then I'll be with you through the dark
Who else can say that about you, baby
Who else can say that about you, now
Who else can take all your blood and your curses
Nobody I've seen a hanging around
Seen a hanging around
quote:i will follow you into the dark, death cab for cutie
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

That whole song speaks to me.
And then the one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

"When I was younger I was a cobra
in every case I wanted to be cool
Now that I'm older and sub-space is colder
I just want to say something true"
Random Rules by the Silver Jews
"In 1984 I was hospitalized for approaching perfection
Slowly screwing my way across Europe, I had to make a correction"

Once in a while you get shown the light
In the strangest of places if you look at it right.
The Grateful Dead - Scarlet Begonias
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed,
when the ocean met the sky.
You missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye.
When the earth folded in on itself.
And said "Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell
are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath."
The more we move ahead the more we're stuck in rewind.
Modest Mouse- The ocean breathes salty
A lot of Modest Mouse songs tend to have lyrics that hit a chord every time i listen to them

Well, these lyrics hit me one time but not in a particularly good way. I saw this band one time, don't remember the name but they were kind of a Lynyrd Skynyrd wannabe band. The lyric was something like this:
Skinny dippin' in the Chattahoochee
Got my fanger in yer sister's coochie
Now on the other side of the coin, for some reason I was struck by these Steely Dan lyrics in the song Caves of Altamira.
Before the fall
When they wrote it on the wall
And there wasn't even any Hollywood
They heard the call
And they wrote it on the wall
For you and me and we understood
He's talking about ancient humans living in caves and painting the things that were important to them on the cave walls. Odd subject for a song but that's the Dan for you.
