re: What's your favorite song lyric?

This response would have been appropriate if I would have posted lyrics from say, "highway to hell."

quote:

---

Clock strikes twelve and moon drops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Like acid and oil in a madman's face
His reason tends to fly away
Like lesser birds on the four winds
Like silver scrims in May
And now the sands become a crust
Most of you have gone away

Come Susie dear, let's take a walk
Just out there upon the beach
I know you'll soon be married
And you'll want to know where winds come from
Well it's never said at all
On that map that Carrie reads
Behind the clock back there you know
At the Four Winds Bar

BOC - Astronomy

pick any lines from time (pink floyd)

quote:

---

I've only got this one wish,
That I was good enough to make you forget
The only boy who ever broke your heart,
Cause nights like these tear me apart.
Beer tastes like blood.
My mouth is numb,
And i cant make the words i need to say.
She had a weakness for writers, and I,
I was never that good at words anyways.

nights like these (lucero)

quote:

---

In my heart stands a scarecrow
If he’s hurt he doesn’t say so
And he chases everything he loves away
But at night when its colder
There’s a bluebird on his shoulder
And he whispers that he’ll hold her one bright day

when you're here (john fullbright)

quote:

---

Is it in you now,
To bear to hear the truth that you have spoken?
Twisted up by knaves,
To make a trap for fools.
Is it in you now,
To watch the things you gave your life to broken?
And stoop and build them up with worn out tools.
...
Nothing gets so bad,
A whisper from your father couldn't fix it.
He whispers like a bridge, it's a river spanned.
Take all that you have,
And turn it into something you would miss if
Somebody threw that brick, shattered all your plans

Third Eye Blind - Deep Inside of You

"I never felt alone...'til I met you".

That is conceivably the most emotionally hardcore thing you could ever say to anyone.

Not my "favorite" but the entire Hows it Gonna Be always gets to me. Just so damn sad.

---

The title lyrics i rough to.

How's it gonna be when you dont know me anymore? Between you and me, cause I dont care. How's it gonna be?

I stil listen to third eye blind all the time. No shame at all. Blue and their first album are great CDs.

Some good parts:

quote:

---

Something's gone, you withdraw and I'm not strong like before I was Deep inside of you I can go nowhere I burn candles and stare at a ghost Deep inside of you And some great need in me starts to bleed I've lost myself there's nothing left, it's all gone

---

quote:

---

When I say out loud I wanna get out of this I wonder is there anything I'm gonna miss I wonder how it's going to be When you don't know me How's it going to be When you're sure I'm not there How's it going to be When there's no one there to talk to Between you and me 'Cause I don't care How's it going to be

---

quote:

---

I'm on a train, but there's no one at the helm And there's a demon in my brain Who starts to overwhelm whelm whelm whelm whelm And there it goes, my last chance for peace You lay me down, but I get no release And I say I, I try to keep awake I try to swim beneath I try to keep awake But I, I can feel this narcolepsy slide Into another nightmare And there's a demon in my head who starts to play A nightmare tape loop of what went wrong yesterday And I hold my breath till it's more than I can take And I close my eyes and dream that I'm awake I try to keep awake

I know some day you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky
But why, why, why
Can't it be
Can't it be mine?


Honorable mention:

Baking Soda
I got baking soda

One two three
She's a real left winger 'cause she been down south
And held peasants in her arms
She said "I could tell you a story that could make you cry"
"What about you?"
I said "Me too"
"I could tell you a story that will make you cry"
And she sighed "Ah"
I said "I wanna be a singer like Lou Reed"
"I like Lou Reed" she said sticking her tongue in my ear
"Let's go, let's sit, let's talk"
"Politics go so good with beer"
"And while we're at it baby, why don't you tell me one of your biggest fears?"
I said "Loosing my penis to a whore with disease"
"Just kidding" I said
"Losing my life to a whore with disease"
She said "Excuse me please?"
I said "Losing my life to a whore with disease"
I said "Please... I'm a humble guy with a healthy desire"
"Don't give me no shite because..."

I've been tired [6x]

I tell a tale of a girl, but I call her a woman
She's a little bit older than me
Strong legs, strong face, voice like milk, breasts like a cluster of grapes
I can't escape the ways she raise me
She'll make you feel like Solomon be one of your babies even if you had no one
(And while we're at it baby, why don't you tell me one of your biggest fears?)
Took my sleep after setting my loins on fire
But that's OK because...

I've been tired [6x]

I've been tired [9x]
T-i-r-e-d spells it
Spells it

quote:

---

When I'm sad, she comes to me,
With a thousand smiles she gives to me free.
It's alright, she says it's alright,
Take anything you want from me, Anything.
Fly on little wing.

---

quote:

---

how do you tell someone you don't care anymore how do you tell someone you don't love them anymore
everytime I talk to you there's no one listening
everytime I reach for you there's no one there
everywhere I look for you there's no one to be found

Gotta throw some Zappa in here:

Now believe me when I tell you that my song is really true
I want everyone to listen and believe
It's about some little people from a long time ago
And all the things the neighbors didn't know
Early in the morning Daddy Dinky went to work
Selling lamps & chairs to San Ber'dino squares
And I still remember Mama with her apron & her pad
Feeding all the boys at Ed's Cafe!

Whizzing & pasting & pooting through the day . . .
(Ronnie helping Kenny helping burn his poots away!)
And all the while on a shelf in the shed:
KENNY'S LITTLE CREATURES ON DISPLAY!

Ronnie saves his numies on a window in his room
(A marvel to be seen: dysentery green)
While Kenny & his buddies had a game out in the back:
LET'S MAKE THE WATER TURN BLACK

We see them after school in a world of their own
(To some it might seem creepy what they do . . . )
The neighbors on the right sat & watched them every night
(I bet you'd do the same if they was you)

Whizzing & pasting & pooting through the day . . .
(Ronnie helping Kenny helping burn his poots away!)
And all the while on a shelf in the shed:
KENNY'S LITTLE CREATURES ON DISPLAY!

Ronnie's in the Army now & Kenny's taking pills
Oh! How they yearn to see a bomber burn!
Color flashing, thunder crashing, dynamite machine!
(Wait till the fire turns green . . . wait till the fire turns green)
WAIT TILL THE FIRE TURNS GREEN!
