Here Today... Gone To Hell!

What?s your favourite line of a song, could be any songs?

I mean one line, or few lines in maximum, not a whole song.


I?ll start;

" Be careful what you do wish for, you end up losing even more"
Backyard Babies - Year By Year

"When you say it's gonna happen now, what exactly do you mean?
Cause I've already waited too long"

The Smiths - How Soon Is Now?



Maybe not my favourite of all time, but I like that one.

I can tell just by the climate, and I can tell just by the style
I was born and raised on venus and I may be here a while
Cause every supersonic jerkoff who plugs into the game
Is just like every subatomic genius who just invented pain :smoking:

Monster Magnet - Negasonic Teenage Warhead

"When you feel your life ain't worth living"
"you've got to stand up and"
"take a look around you then a look way up to the sky."
"And when your deepest thoughts are broken,"
"keep on dreaming boy, cause when you stop dreamin' it's time to die."

Blind Melon - Change

"When I laid my love down in the light
You should've seen all the things my shadow did"

Babyshambles - East Of Eden

"Here at the edge of this world
Here I gaze at a pantheon of oak, a citadel of stone
If this grand panorama before me is what you call God. . .
Then God is not dead"

Agalloch - In The Shadow Of Our Pale Companion

 That makes two of us.  :peace:

Uh! Indeed  8)
That song rocks! I still prefer it on the "Love Spit Love" version though.
I think I watch too much Charmed...................

"He knows it's eating, it's chewing me up
It's not right for young lungs to be coughing up blood"

The Libertines - Time For Heroes

So many to choose from

Mechanical Animals by Marilyn Manson

And I was a hand grenade
That never stopped exploding
You were automatic and
As hollow as the "o" in god


Love him or hate him, you gotta admit some of his analogies are just clever as hell.

"And just like a hooker she said,
Nothing for free..."

Obviously thats 14 years.  Izzy fucking Stadlin.  Another, which is GNR also, would be from Locomotive, "You can sell your body on the street to any one whom you might meet, who'd love to try and get inside and bust your innocence open wide..."  God those fuckers sure knew how to write some fucking songs.  A VERY, VERY UNDERATED BAND AS FAR AS THE SONGWRITING GOES

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody elses sky
But why can't it be mine
 :'(

"o0o Catcher In The Rye again o0o wont let you get away from..."

 ;D

It's impossible to say a definite favourite, but this one of them.

just a perfect day
you made me forget myself
i thought i was someone else
...someone good

That's tough to beat, but

There were always ample warnings
There were always subtle signs
And you would have seen it comin'
But we gave you too much time

- Coma, says so much about so much

You are 100% correct

Your avatar reminded me of another one I like:

I'm not saying right is wrong
It's up to us to make
The best of all things that come our way
And all the things that came have past
The answer's in the looking glass
There's four and twenty million doors
Down life's endless corridor

"things could be better, if we'd all just let them be"

GNR- Yesterdays

"my baby with the sunset eyes, making moves that can burn my soul
well it's the last song we'll ever hear before we go "

The Wildhearts - Loveshit

And of better days
from this town, we'd escape
if we holler loud and make our way
we'd all live 'One Big Holiday'

"One Big Holiday" - My Morning Jacket

Anything from 14 Years  8)

You can use you illusion-
Let it take you where it may
We live and learn
And then sometimes it's best to walk away
Me I'm just here hangin' on
It's my only place to stay at least
For now anyway
I've worked too hard for my illusions
Just to throw them all away - Locomotive - Guns N Roses

"Have we enough to keep it together
Or do we just keep on pretending
And hope our luck is never ending"

The Libertines - Can?t Stand Me Now

If love is blind I'll guess I'll buy myself a cane

We know who  : ok:

Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken

"Meant To Live" - Switchfoot

def. that line also this from Tool's "Reflection"

"I pray the lights lift me out before i pine away.
So crucify? the ego, before its far too late,
to leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical,
and you will come to find that we are all one mind,
capable of all thats imagined and all conceivable.
Just let the light touch you, and let the words spill through
bringing out our hope and reason, before we pine away.."

 And I want a moment to be real,
Wanna touch things I don't feel,
Wanna hold on and feel I belong.
And how can the world want me to change,
They?re the ones that stay the same.
The don?t know me,
'Cause I?m not here.

And you see the things they never see
All you wanted, I could be
Now you know me, and I'm not afraid
And I wanna tell you who I am
Can you help me be a man?
They can break me
As long as I know who I am

"I'm Still Here" - Johnny Rzeznik

The entire songs lyrics are some of my favorites all time, but I posted the most important ones that stand out to me.

Well besides any Guns N' Roses song,  this one is quite significant to me....


"Well, in my time of dyin', don't want nobody to moan
All I want for you to do is take my body home
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Well, well, well, well, well, well, so I can die easy
Jesus goin' make up
Jesus goin' make up
Jesus goin' make my dyin' bed"     By "Blind"  Willie Johnson R.I.P  :smoking:

"The still look, curled up in the strait-jacket
Fading of tears
Behind every kiss: a potential Judas
Desire of biting the vital artery, mine, or of the first passer-by"

Devil Doll - Dies Irae :D

It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

Dreamed about killing you again last night.
And it felt alright to me.? ?
:nervous:

I dreamed that the world was crumbling down
We sat on my back porch and watched it

Hey that's my favorite song

Garth Brooks - Every Time That it Rains

I love the way he says Favorite. It's insane.

Be kind to me or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it
I'm an extraordinary machine

Fiona Apple - Extraordinary Machine

"We will always be so much more human than we wish to be"

A simple line, but it sums up the beauty that is Pain of Salvation's concept album Remedy Lane.

I got a few: (non GNR)

The me that you know he used to have feelings
But the blood has stopped pumping and he's left to decay
The me that you know is now made up of wires
And even when I'm right with you I'm so far away
NIN - The Becoming

Hey God, there's nothing left for me to hide
I lost my ignorance, security and pride
I'm all alone in a world you must despise
Hey God, I believed the promises, the promises and lies
NIN - Terrible Lie

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Her legs spread out before me, as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Pearl Jam - Black

He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
By faceless men, well, fuckers
He still stands
Pearl Jam - Given to Fly

you can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets
or you can come to terms and realize
you're the only one who can't forgive yourself
makes much more sense to live in the present tense
Pearl Jam - Present Tense

I never really wanted you to see
The screwed up side of me that I keep
Locked inside of me so deep
It always seems to get to me
I never really wanted you to go
So many things you should have known
I guess for me there's just no hope
I never meant to be so cold

"Cold" - Crossfade

I gotta go with anything from the last 3 mins of Coma

^^ i think that's it

and a little of nov rain:
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

The taste of your skin
My body is giving in
And I'm falling into you
As you let yourself go
To the end of the world
And I'm falling into you
I'm falling into you

Close your eyes and sacrifice
I breathe you in til I get high
The center of your world pulls men down
Oceans rolling over me
Crashing into you I see
You call for me and I relive

"Cradle" - The Rising

"You can?t start a fire sitting around crying over a broken heart
You can?t start a fire  worried about your little world falling apart"

Springsteen - Dancing in the Dark - Overplayed song, but with awesome lyrics IMO

"Poor man wanna be rich
Rich man wanna be king
But a King ain?t satisfied ?till he rules everything"

Springsteen - Badlands

Yah! That's where I come from!! 8)

Some more NiN snippets;

think I know what you meant.
that night on my bed.
still picking at this scab
I wish you were dead.
you sweet and perry ellis.
just stains on my sheets.

From Something I can never have
Verse never made to final cut but apprears on lyrics sheet.Always thought it was much more powerfull than anything else on that song.And thats saying quite a lot

I?ll heal your wounds
I?ll set you free
I?m jesus christ on ecstacy

From Suck
On live performances, Reznor replaces word "christ" with "fuck" which is just pure genius ;D



Smashing Pumpkins Stand inside your love

Who wouldn't be the one you love
Who wouldn't stand inside your love

Just can't get much more beautiful than that.
Ever so romantic "i can never have you but i still love you" vibe.

Sometimes...just blow-up.
Sometimes...just deflate.
Sometimes...just hang-on.
Sometimes...pull away.

"Make A Deal With The City" - East River Pipe

the becoming is fantastic, i forgot about that song, i think that is trent's best lyrically, And All That Could Have Been Is also great:

please
take this
and run far away
far as you can see
i am
tainted
and happiness and peace of mind
were never meant for me
all these
pieces
and promises and left behinds
if only i could see
in my
nothing
you meant everything
everything to me

NIN~And All That Could Have Been

After listening all its a hard life the best line to finish the song is "I did it for love"
I think is just perfect!  : ok:

"If she says she's going
just make sure she goes"

Babyshambles - I love You (But You?re Green)

I love this, dont know why:

Well don't bury me at all
Just place my livin' lovin' laughin' bones
In a jar of alcohol

By Hanoi Rocks.

Sometimes I wanna kill
Sometimes I wanna die
Sometimes I wanna destroy
Sometimes I wanna cry
Sometimes I could get even
Sometimes I could give up
Sometimes I could give
Sometimes I never give a fuck

Every word you never said
Echoes down your empty hallway
And everything that was your world
Just came down

Day breaking on the boulevard
Feel the sun warming up your second hand heart
Light swimming right across your face
And you think maybe someday, yeah
Maybe someday


"The Difference" - Matchbox Twenty

People ask me if I am going insane
But I say it's just this missile in my vein
It comes on hard, there's no stop no start
And it kicks so strong, the kick goes on
Over and over 'til you can't belong,
It's an endless song
One, two, three, it goes on

Great : ok:

Hearing the Show Must Go on by Queen the best line is I'll face it with a grin, I'll never give it in those lines are fantastic specially cause someone that's ill have such power an energy to continuing living with a smile in his face  :)

"I am the way, I am the light
I am the dark inside the night.
I hear your hopes, I feel your dreams
and in the dark I hear your screams."

A recurrence in a few Savatage songs.

Another Savatage one, specifically from Alone You Breathe:
"You've thrown it all away
And now we'll never see the ending to the play.
The grand design, the final line
And what was meant to be."

I have so many that I love... Aerosmith's Dream On:
"I know what nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes.
I know it?s everybody?s sin
You got to lose to know how to win."

I'll leave with a classic Dan Bern (amazingly talented folk musician) line.  It's from Lightning Jazz:
"I said 'Hey God! Hey God! Hey God!
How's it hangin', tough guy?"

And when everyone is cold as ice
I clinch my fists and close my eyes
Imagining the world outside
But I can see that I?m not blind

"Good Intentions" - Toad The Wet Sprocket

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found
The same old fears
Wish you were here

Wish You Were Here, Pink Floyd

Cool, someone else listens to Savatage : ok:

Here's two of my favorites from them:
"Summers Rain"
I never wanted to know, Never wanted to see
I wasted my time till time wasted me
Never wanted to go, Always wanted to stay
Cause the person I am are the parts that I play
So I play and I plan
And hope and I scheme
To the lure of a night
Filled with unfinished dreams
And I'm holding on tight
To a world gone astray

As they charge me for years
I can no longer pay

"Believe"  Backslash already referenced this one

I am the way, I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes, I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't turn away, Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there, I'll never leave
And all I ask of you
"Believe"

I love how Savatage songs repeat lines.  it's awesome... I believe this is in When the Crowds Are Gone, too.  :peace:

You are correct, I mislabled the song.

Prince "Pretty Man" hidden track on Rave un2 the Joy Fantastic


"I write a check and the bank bounces"

Fuckin brilliant!


also Bon Jovi "Welcome To Wherever You Are"

When you wanna give up and your heart's about to break
remember that you're perfect.... God makes no mistakes

No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?

"On The Turning Away" - Pink Floyd

Got a crazy feeling I don?t understand
?gotta get away from here
Feelin? like I shoulda kept my feet on the ground
Waitin? for the sun to appear

Ozzy Osbourne------- Flying High Again

Through all those
Complex years
I thought I was alone
I didn't care to look around
And make this world my own
And when she died
I should've cried and spared myself some pain...
Left me incomplete
All alone as the memories still remain  :'(

Cementery Gates - Pantera


" Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do

Hello
Can you hear me?
Am I gettin' through to you?
Hello
Is it late there?
There's a laughter on the line
Are you sure you're there alone?
Cause I'm
Tryin' to explain
Somethin's wrong
Ya just don't sound the same
Why don't you
Why don't you
Go outside
Go outside
Kiss the rain
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever I'm gone, too long.
If your lips
Feel lonely and thirsty
Kiss the rain
And wait for the dawn.
Keep in mind
We're under the same sky
And the nights
As empty for me, as for you
If ya feel
You can't wait till morinin'
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain

Hello
Do you miss me?
I hear you say you do
But not the way I'm missin' you
What's new?
How's the weather?
Is it stormy where you are?
You sound so close but it feels like you're so far
Oh would it mean anything
If you knew
What I'm left imagining
In my mind
In my mind
Would you go
Would you go
Kiss the rain

And you'd fall over me
Think of me
Think of me
Think of me
Only me
Kiss the rain
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever I'm gone too long
If your lips
Feel hungry and tempted
Kiss the rain
and wait for the dawn
Keep in mind
We're under the same skies
And the nights
As empty for me, as for you
If you feel
You can't wait till morning
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Oooooohhhhh
Kiss the rain
Oooooohhhhh
Kiss the rain
Hello
Can ya hear me?
Can ya hear me?
Can ya hear me?

"Kiss The Rain" - Billie Myers

How the hell do you get in those tight blue jeans? she said "for starters you can buy me a drink."
                                                                                                                                      -circa DLR     

" Number Nine, Number 9 , Number 9, Number 9, Number 9, number 9....." The Beatles

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me

Pink Floyd - Echoes

great song  :peace:

Dude you so freaking rule. I went to his grave.... it was really emotional for me. I love Blind Melon.

Rock on

ONe of mine would probably be:

"It must be your skin/ That I'm sinking in,
It must be for real/ Cause now I can feel,
I didn't mind, it's not my kind, it's not my time to wonder why
Everything gone white and everything's grey/
Now  you're here, now you're away"

Glycerine - Bush

Kenny Wayne Shepherd - Blue On Black

Night falls, I'm alone
Skin chilled to the bone
You... turned and you ran
Slipped right from my hands

Blue on black
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
Don't mean much
Joker on Jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
As a dead man's touch
Whisper on a scream
Doesn't mean a thing
Wont bring you back
Blue on black

Blind, now I see
Truth lies, and in between
Wrongs cant be undone
Slipped from the tip of your tongue

Amen Omen - Ben Harper

what started as a whisper
slowly turned into a scream
searching for an answer
where the question is unseen
i don't know where you came from
and i don't know where you've gone
old friends become old strangers
between the darkness and the dawn

i still hear you saying
all of life is a chance
and is sweetest
when at a glance
but i live a hundred
lifetimes in a day
but i die a little
in every breath that i take

i listen to a whisper
slowly drift away
silence is the loudest
parting word you never say
i put - i put your world
into my veins
now a voiceless sympathy
is all that remains

amen omen
will i see your face again
amen omen
will i see your face again
amen omen
can i find the place within
my life without you

Don't regret the rules I broke
When I die bury me in smoke

Down - Bury me in smoke

Some lyrics I like to sing when I'm playing a card game like poker:

Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds, she'll beat you if she's able
You know the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet


 :D

Yes I am alone but then again I always was
As far back as I can tell
I think maybe it's because
Because you were never really real to begin with
I just made you up to hurt myself

[x2]
I just made you up to hurt myself, yeah
And I just made you up to hurt myself

And it worked.
Yes it did!

"Only" - Nine Inch Nails

YOWZA!

"The Screen Door Slams, Mary's Dress Waves like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays"
Thunder Road - Springsteen

Thats for now!!

Lost in a dream
You caught me as I fell
Now I want more....
Than just a dream to tell

Bruce - "Happy"

You say you don't spook easy
You won't go
But I know
And I pray that you will
Fast as you can, baby run
Free yourself of me
Fast as you can
I may be soft in your palm
But I'll soon grow hungry for a fight, and I will not let you win
My pretty mouth will frame the phrases that will disprove your faith in man
So if you catch me trying to find my way into your heart from under your skin
Fast as you can, baby scratch me out, free yourself
Fast as you can

Sometimes my mind don't shake and shift
But most of the time it does
And I get to the place where I'm begging for a lift
Or I'll drown in the wonders and the was
And I'll be your girl, if you say it's a gift
'Cause I'm tired of whys, choking on whys,
Just need a little because, because


Fiona Apple - Fast As You Can

Sittin here like uninvited company
Wallowing in my own obsenity
Sharin a cigarette with negativity
Leaning on a pedestal that holds my self-denial
--Soundgarden, Drawing Flies


She was a fast machine
She kept her motor clean

Keep in touch with Mama Kin

A shot of vitamin C, and a bottle of booze
--Guns-n-fuckin-Roses, Crash Diet

Here's an excerpt from a Jethro Tull tune called Beastie:

From early days of infancy, through trembling years of youth,
long murky middle-age and final hours long in the tooth,
he is the hundred names of terror, creature you love the least,
picture his name before you, and exorcise the beast.

He roved up and down through history, spectre with tales to tell,
in the darkness when the campfire's dead to each his private hell.
If you look behind your shoulder as you feel his eyes to feast,
you can witness now the everchanging nature of the beast.

Beastie!

If you wear a warmer sporran you can keep the foe at bay,
you can pop those pills and visit some psychiatrist who'll say,
"there's nothing I can do for you, everywhere's a danger zone,
I'd love to help get rid of it, but I've got one of my own."

Beastie!

Kacy Crowley - Anything

Life
it can hurt
Get you tore up
like a shirt


Tori Amos - Crucify

I've been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Just what God needs
One more victim

I gotta have my suffering
So that I can have my cross
I know a cat named Easter
He says will you ever learn
You're just an empty cage girl
If you kill the bird

I've been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Got enough guilt to start
my own religion

I
Played the fool today
And I
Can see us vanishing into the crowd
Longing for home again
But home
Is a feeling I buried in you

I'm alright
I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe

And I can't ask for things to be still again
No I can't ask for you
To offer the world through your eyes
Longing for home again
But home
Is a feeling I buried in you

I'm alright
I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe
I'm alright
I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe

My window through which
Nothing hides
And everything sings
I'm counting the signs
And cursing the miles in between

But home
Is a feeling I buried in you
That I buried in you

I'm alright
I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe
I'm alright
I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe

When I breathe
It only hurts when I breathe
When I breathe
It only hurts when I breathe

I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
but she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change

And I'd give up forever to touch you

Military intelligence 2 words combined that can make sense

hangar 18

Outside the street's on fire in a real death waltz
Between flesh and what's fantasy and the poets down here
Don't write nothing at all, they just stand back and let it all be
And in the quick of the night they reach for their moment
And try to make an honest stand but they wind up wounded, not even dead

But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,
Oh, you know it costs more to store the food than it do to give it.
They say lose your inhibitions, follow your own ambitions,
They talk about a life of brotherly love, show me someone who knows how to

 ~ Slow Train by Bob Dylan

When the rain is blowin' in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

 ~ Make You Feel My Love - Bob Dylan

Great song, didn't like Garth Brooks version though.
From the same album................

I was born here and I'll die here, against my will
I know it looks like I'm movin' but I'm standin' still
Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb
I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from
Don't even hear the murmur of a prayer
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

"Not Dark Yet"

i can not leave here, i can not stay
forever haunted more than afraid

A little thing you sure will know
Why you came here tonight
And not to those other places
I could imagine there?s PCs and DVDs
And TV shows
And sex in cars what else you like
Now right here is the place I got to be
Tomorrow I?ll be far away
If you got time and nothing else to do now
Together we can change the world

Let?s get it up
Rock?s here to stay
With the best years of our lives we paid our share
Yeah, yeah
Now tell me what is in our way
To push this right in the face everyday

We spread it further on the town
Now, what?d ya know we?re good
To incite a few more disciples
No time to waste makin? haste we?re movin? on
Where we?ll suspend another night

Do I see grinning faces all round here?
?and is this due to my words
Come treat me nice, y? know, I wasn?t
raised here
But I mean everything I say

Let?s get it up
Rock?s here to stay
With the best years of our lives we paid our share
Yeah, yeah
Now tell me what is in our way
To push this right in the face everyday

Great song I love this lyric it express the gratitud to their fans
Michael Weikath - Helloween

I tried to cut some out but it's all relevant :hihi:

TooL - Hooker With A Penis

So I've got some
Advice for you, little buddy.
Before you point your finger
You should know that
I'm the man,

If I'm the fuckin' man
Then you're the fuckin' man as well
So you can
Point that fuckin' finger up your ass.

All you know about me is what I've sold you,
Dumb fuck.
I sold out long before you ever heard my name.

I sold my soul to make a record,
Dip shit,
And you bought one.

All you read and
Wear or see and
Hear on TV
Is a product
Begging for your
Fatass dirty
Dollar

So...Shut up and

Buy my new record
Send more money
Fuck you, buddy.

haha good call, isnt this Maynard's response to a kid saying Tool sold out? brilliant lol

yep....I am getting myself psyched up for the release next week.....I still haven't heard the leaked album, but am going through the old catalogue...I forgot how great the message in this song was :yes:

Hey I found this in the vault of the Area, perhaps someone can merge the thread :)

Over thinking, over analyzing seperates the body from the mind

TOOL - LATERALUS

and

So crucify the ego, before it's far too late
To leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical,
And you will come to find that we are all one mind
Capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable.
Just let the light touch you
And let the words spill through
And let them pass right through
Bringing out our hope and reason ...
before we pine away.

TOOL - REFLECTION

Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind.
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

Ecstasy is all you need
Living in the big machine now
Oh you're so vain
Now your world is way too fast
Nothing's real and nothing lasts
And I'm aware
I'm in love but you don't care

Turn your anger into lust
I'm still here but you don't trust at all
And I'll be waiting
Love and sex and loneliness
Take what's yours and leave the rest
So I'll survive
God it's good to be alive

I'm torn in pieces
I'm blind and waiting for you
My heart is reeling
I'm blind and waiting for you

Still in love with all your sins
Where you stop and I begin
And I'll be waiting
Living like a house on fire
What you fear is your desire
It's hard to deal
I still love the way you feel

Now this angry little girl
Drowning in this petty world
And I'm who you run to
Swallow all your bitter pills
That's what makes you beautiful
You're all or not
I don't need what you ain't got

I'm torn in pieces
I'm blind and waiting for you
My heart is reeling
I'm blind and waiting for you

I'm blind and waiting for you
I'm blind and waiting for you
No I can't believe it's coming true
God it's good to be alive
And I'm still here waiting for you
No I can't believe it's coming true
I'm blind and waiting for you

"Big Machine" - Goo Goo Dolls

'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... just breathe,


There's a light at each end of this tunnel,
You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around.

2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to

But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe

ANNA NALICK - "Breathe (2 AM)"

A brand new one:

I have faced it,
a life wasted.
I'm never going back again.

Having taste it,
a life wasted.
I'm never going back again.

I escaped it,
a life wasted.
I'm never going back again

In the clouds
all the graves
I'll stay if you
go away
Concrete
tall as the sky
Movement passin me by
When you blush

Love the imagery (is that the right word?) on that song... Anyway, what I mean is I love the picture it paints :)

I'm surprised that nobody posted this:

An now that you've been broken down
Got your head out of the clouds
You're back down on the ground
And you don't talk so loud
An you don't walk so proud
Any more, and what for

^ I like that one too.

Eve 6 - Heart In a Blender:

I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rhines
But the lack there of would leave me empty inside.
Swallow my doubt turn it inside out
Find nothin but faith in nothing
Wanna put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion
Rondezvous then I'm through with you

I burn burn like a wicker cabinet
Sharp wire and oh so frail
I see our time has gotten stale
The tick-tock of the clock is painful
All sane and logical
I wanna tear it off the wall
I hear the words in clips and phrases
I think sick like gingerale
My stomach turns and I exhale

 

yeah, I know what you mean  :)   Here's a painting you'll recognize. I love the gritty imagery here:


The color faded the petals died
Down in the city no one cried
In the streets the garbage lies
Protected by a million flies
The roaches so big you know that they got bones
Moved in and made a tenement home

~ Rose Tattoo

Yeah, that's a great verse..

Love 'im!  : ok:

I'll never glow -- the way that you glow

But as the scenery grows, I see in differents lights
The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
My feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater heights

You'll never feel the heat of this soul
My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown -- to you

You'll say, Don't fear your dreams, it's easier than it seems
You'll say you'd never let me fall from hopes so high

You'll say you understand, but you'll never understand
I'll say I'll never wake up knowing how or why
I don't know what to believe in, you don't know who I am


"Never Is a Promise" - Fiona Apple

Here are some of my fav non-GN'R lyrics..

I know where I come from
sands of the fatherland
I'll face any battle
though I don't understand

I pledge the allegience
the flag I wave tonight
not only am I grateful
but it's also worth a fight

The Hellacopters - Pride


It brings out the worst in me
When you're not around
I miss the sound of your voice
The silence seems so loud
'Cause there's no one else
Since I found you
I know it's been so hard
You should know

M?tley Crue - If I die tomorrow


It still seems for the best
And I'm far, far a-way
With my head up in the clouds
And I'm far, far a-way
With my feet down in the crowds
Letting loose around the world
But the call of home is loud
Still as loud

Slade - Far far away

There's atleast few..  :)

Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by.
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong,
together we shall go until we die. 
An inspiration is what you are to me, inspiration, look... see.

And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles,
Thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only one.
Happiness, no more be sad, happiness....I'm glad.
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.

Led Zeppelin - Thank You

"You look better now than the last time
But you're still no better than before"

Babyshambles - Eight Dead Boys

"Awake, Shake dreams from your hair my pretty child, my sweet one.
Choose the day, choose the sign of your day, the day's divinity, first thing we see
A vast radiant beach, a cool jewel moon,
Couples naked race down by its quiet side,
And we laugh like soft mad children smug in the wooly cotton brains of infancy"


The Doors - 'The Ghost Song', adapted from a Morrison poem!

Here's a good one,

"Got a machinehead, better then the rest, green to red, machinehead"

Bush - 16Stone - 1994

"Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose"

Janis Joplin - Me And Bobby McGee

A great song. Janis sang it, Kris Kristopherson wrote it.

Don't let them fool ya
Or even try to school ya! 
We've got a mind of our own
So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right
Love would never leave us alone
In the darkness there must come out to light

(The road of life is rocky and you may stumble too)
           
Don't let them change ya
Or even rearrange ya! 
We've got a life to live
only the fittest of the fittest shall survive -
Stay alive! 

"Could You Be Loved" - Bob Marley

I never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through
That everyone I knew was waiting on a cue
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
But that's how it's got to be
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind

Let's rearrange
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
Say that we agree and then never change
Soften a bit until we all just get along
But that's disregard
Find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car
Hanging above as the canyon comes between

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind

And suddenly I become a part of your past
I'm becoming the part that don't last
I'm losing you and its effortless
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground
In the throw around
Never thought that you wanted to bring it down
I won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind

"Over My Head" - The Fray

If my songs become my freedom, and my freedom turns to gold.
Then I'll ask the final question, if the answer could be sold.

The thrill of it all - Black Sabbath

And it's just one in a million

^ I like that Sabbath song.


Clinically he was dead,
but the motor inside his head
was still working-
so they plugged him into a machine,
and let his brain dream.

~ Chad Vangaalen, 'Clinically Dead'

"We used to see in color
Now it's only black and white
It's only black and white
Because the world is color blind"

STP - Big Bang Baby

"If you should die before me
Ask if you can bring a friend
Pick a flower, hold you breath
And drift away... "

STP - Still Remains

Goodbye
Hasn't been so good to me
Stepped out into the night
Back against the moon
I saw ten thousand hands with candlelight
We all think that we're right
It's hard to tell
If the night is full of hope or doom

My eyes
Burn with unshed tears
My body is weak
From so many silent years
Too many people say goodbye
Before they say hello
Step into the morning
And disappear

What more than sorry can i say
What more than sorry can i be
Before our love fades away
What more than sorry
Do you want from me

"What More Than Sorry" - Ben Harper

Lock up your daughter
Lock up your wife
Lock up your back door

but my will is stone

I'd rather walk alone

I'd rather fall myself

Well if it seems to be real, it's illusion
For every moment of truth, there's confusion in life
Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer

~Black Sabbath, "Heaven & Hell"

"So you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?"

My eyes
Burn with unshed tears
My body is weak
From so many silent years
Too many people say goodbye
Before they say hello
Step into the morning
And disappear

More Than Sorry - Ben Harper

Aside from my signature....

"To same a lot of time and foolish pride
I say what's on my mind"

--Aerosmith's Steven Tyler on "The Other Side"

Sometimes I find myself alone regretting
some little foolish thing
some simple thing that I've done

If I seem edgy
I want you to know
I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems
and I get more than my share
but that's one thing I never mean to do

Nina Simone - "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood"

I wasn't looking for a lifetime with you
And I never thought it would hurt just to hear
"I do" and "I do"
And I do a number on myself
And all that I thought to be
And you'll be the one
That just left me undone
By my own, hesitation

[Pre-chorus]
and for the million hours that we were
well I'll smile and remember it all
then I'll turn and go
while your story's completed mine is a long way from done.

[Chorus]
Well I'm on a champagne high
Where will I be when I stop wondering why
On a champagne high
I'd toast to the future but that'd be a lie
On a champagne high, high

Spring turned to summer
But then winter turned to mean
The distance seemed right
At the time it was best - to leave
And to leave behind
What I once thought was fine And so real - to me
And while I'm still gone
On the quest for my song
I'm at your - celebration

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

Your wagons been hitched to a star
Well now he'll be your thing that's new
Yeah what little I have you can borrow
'Cause I'm old and I'm blue...

[Pre-chorus]

Well I'm on a champagne high (so high)
Where will I be when I stop wondering why
On a champagne high (so high)
Toast to the future but that'd be a lie
On a champagne high
Where will I be when I stop wondering why
On a champagne high... high...
So high so high you left me undone
so high, so high you left me undone....

"Champagne High" - Sister Hazel

Diamonds and Rust - Judas Priest


I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you decided to call

And here i sit, hand on the telephone
Hearing the voice i'd known
A couple of light years ago
Headed straight for a fall

But we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Yes we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust

Now i see you standing with brown leaves all around and snow in your hair
Now we're smiling out the window of the crummy hotel over washington square
Our breath comes in white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me we both could've died then and there

Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You were so good with words
And at keeping things vague

Cause i need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly, yes, i love you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust, i've already paid

Yes and how does it feel?
How does it feel?
To be on your own,
With no direction home,
A complete unknown,
Like a Rolling Stone

Bob Dylan, Like A Rolling Stone

and also

The old prospector he makes it to the four-line highway,
His old compadre, he lays dead in the sand,
With outsretched hands he cries "are you goin' my way?!"
The people passing by don't seem to understand,
Fools gold

Thin Lizzy, Fools Gold


EDIT - oh, and this for sheer comedy value

Don't know about your brain but you look alright

Ozzy Osbourne - I Just Want You

There are no unlockable doors
There are no unwinnable wars
There are no unrightable wrongs
Or unsingable songs

There are no unbeatable odds
There are no believable gods
There are no unnameable names
Shall i say it again, yeah

There are no impossible dreams
There are no invisible seams
Each night when the day is through
I don't ask much
I just want you


There are no uncriminal crimes
There are no unrhymable rhymes
There are no identical twins or
Forgivable sins

There are no incurable ills
There are no unkillable thrills
One thing and you know it's true,
I don't ask much
I just want you

I'm sick and tired of bein' sick and tired
I used to go to bed so high and wired
I think i'll buy myself some plastic water
I guess i should have married lennon's daughter

There are no unachievable goals
There are no unsaveable souls
No legitimate kings or queens,
Do you know what i mean?

There are no indisputable truths
And there ain't no fountain of youth
Each night when the day is through,
I don't ask much
I just want you

Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold

"Fields Of Gold" - Sting

so keep you head clear, dont believe what you hear
just play what come's from your soul
but if money and fame is your fuckin' game
then i hope you die fat and old!

Duff McKagan - Mud song or something like that.. forgot its name! awesome line!

This old world is mean and cruel,
But still I love it like a fool

I'd rather go to the corner store
Than sing Hosannah on that golden shore,
I'd rather live on Parker Street
Than fly around where the angels meet.

This old world is all I know,
It's dust to dust when I have to go

Somebody else will take my place,
Some other hands, some other face,
Some other eyes will look around
And find the things I've never found.

Don't weep for me when I am gone,
Just keep this old world rolling on,
This world

Malvina Reynolds - This World

Not neccesarily favorites, but some ones I love. I kept off GNR because it's too hard to choose and everyone here knows them all anyway

Feel so hypnotized, cant describe the scene.
Its all mesmerized all that inside me.
The sunshine bores the daylights out of me.
Chasing shadows moonlight mystery.
Headed for the overload,
Splattered on the dirty road,
Kick me like youve kicked before,
I cant even feel the pain no more.

-Mick Jagger and Keith Richards "Rocks Off"

We may seem cold, or
We may even be
The most depressing people you've ever known
At heart, what's left, we sadly know
That we are the last truly British people you'll ever know
We are the last truly British people you will ever know
You'll never never want to know

- Morrissey, "We'll Let You Know"

They declared me unfit to live said into that great void my sould
Be hurled
They wanted to know why I did what I did
Well sir I guess theres just a meanness in this world

- Bruce Springsteen, "Nebraska"

I
I can remember
Standing
By the wall
And the guns
Shot above our heads
And we kissed
As though nothing could fall
And the shame
Was on the other side
Oh we can beat them
For ever and ever
Then we can be Heroes
Just for one day

-David Bowie, "Heroes"

Bus stop rat bag, ha ha, charade you are
You fucked up old hag, ha ha, charade you are
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost worth a quick grin
You like the feel of steel
You're hot stuff with a hat pin
And good fun with a hand gun
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.

Roger Waters, Pigs(Three Different Ones)

I really like the first two verses of Breakdown too, intelligent lyrics and real heartfelt

You know that Bruce was talking in those lines about Maiden, he couldn't do the things he wanted cause Steve didn't let him, I dont know what's change since then  :-\

How about:

"...When you're walking downtown
Do you wish I was there
Do you wish it was me
With the windows clear
And the mannequins' eyes
Do they all look like mine?

You know you could
I wish you would
Come pick me up
Take me out
Fuck me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends behind my back
With a smile on your face
And then do it again
I wish you would... "                                   

 Ryan Adams - Come Pick Me Up

Brilliant, fucking brilliant, best breakup song ever

Probably something from David Bowie... from Heroes maybe? Can't decide...

"And 'slave' I  only use / as a word / to describe the special way / I feel for you"

- Afghan Whigs, "My Curse"

Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a Rock n Roll band
Who'll throw it all away

Oasis - Don't Look Back in Anger

"Cause it would take a lot more time than you
I've got more masturbation"

                                         -Guns N' Roses, Chinese Democracy  ;D :hihi: :rofl:

I held my beer high in the air when he played that "Hard Way to Fall" (and last two times I saw him in the last 2 months (NYC & NJ):

"See her smiling at him?
That used to be me
...
And we used to be something
But somethin' happened to me
Oh, my God, when I was free
And it?s a hard way to fall
And this ain't easy way down
And it?s a hard thing to love anyone, anyhow"

Why are some of the greatest songs the most depressing?  Ahh, pour me another round.  We'll empty our glasses and fill them with tears....  :beer:

"And it's so easy to be social, it's so easy to be cool,
Yeah, it's easy to be hungry when you ain't got shit to lose"

the one and only coma

"i must be gettin older im startin to eat my vegetables"

clean up before she comes by nirvana!

I wear lace, and I wear black leather
My hands are lightning up on my gun

My shots are clean
And my, my shots are final
My shots are deadly
And when it's done

You're as stiff as my smoking barrel
You're as dead as a desert night
You're a notch
And I'm a legend
You're at peace
And I must hide

~ Alice Cooper, Desperado

My soul is painted like the wings of Butterflies
Farytales of yesterday's will grow but never die
I can fly my friends

The Show Must go ON by Queen

I find it very true this sentence as Freddie keeps living in his music after 15 years of being dead and will be alive for ever  :peace:

A great love song -- the best since Stuck On You by Mr. L. Richie

I can be an asshole of the grandest kind
I can withold like it's going out of style
I can be the moodiest baby
And you've never met anyone
As negative as I am sometimes

I am the wisest woman you've ever met
I'm the kindest soul with whom you've connected
I have the bravest heart that you've ever seen
And you've never met anyone
As positive as I am sometimes

You see everything
You see every part
You see all my light
And you love my dark
You dig everything
Of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here

Everything - Alanis Morissette

Alanis has some of the best lyrics around.  :yes:
So simple and true.

And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

Oh Georgie stay, don't go away
Georgie please stay you take our breath away




He said "Never wait or hesitate
Get in kid, before it's too late
You may never get another chance
'Cos youth a mask but it don't last
live it long and live it fast"
Georgie was a friend of mine

-- Killing of Georgie Parts one and Two

ah, Just Like Heaven, Perect.

speaking of The Cure, i'd pick the oldies "Siamese Twins" and "The Figurehead" here's a sample from, "Siamese Twins":

I chose an eternity of this
Like falling angels
The world disappeared
Laughing into the fire
Is it always like this?
Flesh and blood and the first kiss
The first colors
The first kiss
We writhed under a red light
Voodoo smile
Siamese twins
A girl at the window looks at me for an hour
Then everything falls apart
Broken inside me
It falls apart
The walls and the ceiling move in time
Push a blade into my hands
Slowly up the stairs
And into the room
Is it always like this?
Dancing in my pocket
Worms eat my skin
She glows and grows
With arms outstretched
Her legs around me
In the morning I cried
Leave me to die
You won't remember my voice
I walked away and grew old
You never talk
We never smile
I scream
You're nothing
laughing into the fire
is it always like this?

perfection, i still love THe Cure, but i wish Robert Smith still wrote like this....

Haven't laughed this hard in a long time
I better stop now before I start crying
Go off to sleep in the sunshine
I don't want to see the day when it's dying

You don't deserve to be lonely
But those drugs you got won't make you feel better
Pretty soon you'll find it's the only
Little part of your life you're keeping together

Because your candle burns too bright
Well, I almost forgot it was twilight


Elliott Smith - Twilight

Some people die by the razor
Some people die by the knife
In the movies they die by the laser
Some people die by the wife

Some people die by the shotgun
Some people get lost in a maze
Some people think its a whole lot of fun getting high
Getting lost in a haze

I just want to drown in your love
I want to drown

Drowned - The Who

Everytime I see this in the streets of life it just make me sad
Phill Collins - Another day In paradise  :'(

She calls out to the man on the street
sir, can you help me?
Its cold and Ive nowhere to sleep,
Is there somewhere you can tell me?

He walks on, doesnt look back
He pretends he cant hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there

Oh think twice, its another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh think twice, its just another day for you,
You and me in paradise

She calls out to the man on the street
He can see shes been crying
Shes got blisters on the soles of her feet
Cant walk but shes trying

Oh think twice...

Oh lord, is there nothing more anybody can do
Oh lord, there must be something you can say

You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that shes been there
Probably been moved on from every place
cos she didnt fit in there

Oh think twice...

Ok here goes my first post and thought I would start with fave lyrics.

Manic Street Preachers - This Is Yesterday (whole song is great lyrically)

"Do not listen to a word I say
just listen to what I can keep silent
the only way to gain approval
is by exploiting the very thing that cheapens me
I stare at the sky
and it leaves me blind
I close my eyes
and this is yesterday
someone somewhere soon will take care of you
I repent, I'm sorry, everything is falling apart
houses as ruins and gardens as weeds
why do anything when you can forget everything
I stare at the sky
and it leaves me blind
I close my eyes
and this is yesterday
I stare at the sky "

Next up for me is:

"Well, youre drunk in the alley, baby
With your clothes all torn
And your late night friends
Leave you in the cold grey dawn
Just seemed too many flies on you
I just cant brush them off"

Rolling Stones - Shine A  Light

Next not my style of music anymore but still great lyrics:

There now, just fading in my mind,
irrelevant echoes of mankind.
I never met their demands.
And they never gave me half a chance.

And I don?t know
another thing to talk about.
But I don?t ask for your help
so you can just
forget me.
 :'(

Unbelievable Truth - Forget About Me

Loads more but im at work so better not be on here too long.

They painted up your secrets
And the lies they told to you
And the least they ever gave you
Was the most you ever knew
And I wonder where these dreams go
When the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming?
No one's listening anyway.

Your voice is small and fading
And you're hiding here unknown
And you mother loves you father
'cause she's got nowhere to go
And she wonders where these dreams go
'cause the world got in her way
What's the point in never trying?
Nothing's changing anyway.

They press their lips against you
And you love the lies they say
And I tried so hard to reach you
But you're falling anyway
And you know I see right through you
'cause the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming?
You're not listening anyway.

Accoustic #3 (No One's Listening) -  Goo Goo Dolls

I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty,
to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
to swing on the spiral
to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground I move myself between the sounds and open wide to suck it in.
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out. I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.
Spiral out. Keep going.
Spiral out. Keep going.

Tool, "Lateralus"

amazing...

Bless your soul
You really think you're in control
Well

I think you're crazy
Just like me

My heroes had the heart
to put their lives out on the limb
And all I remember
is thinking I want to be like them

Ever since I was little
Ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done

But maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably


Crazy - Gnarls Barkley

Shoot by Magnum- Best lyrics EVER It was written 1990, but it reflects society today as well ^^

You take a dangerous line
Holding a loaded gun
It's just a matter of time
Before you hurt someone

So keep your running shoes close
And sing your rebel song
Then disappear like a ghost
The hunter won't be long

Don't you know there's no forgiving
Like a rabbit on the run
When you have to go on living
By the gun...

Shoot
Someone cries, that's the beginning
Shoot
Justify the blood you're spilling
Shoot
Show the world that you're not kidding

Megadeth:

ELYSIAN FIELDS, WE ARE STORMING THE HEAVENS
ELYSIAN FIELDS, TO RAISE THE SWORDS AND SHIELDS
ELYSIAN FIELDS, WE ASCEND TO OUR DESTINY
ELYSIAN FIELDS, TO THE ELYSIAN FIELDS

From the Spiritual Sky,
Such sweet memories have I
To the Spiritual Sky
How I pray
Yes I pray
     that I won't get lost
     or go astray

As I'm fated for the material world
Get frustrated in the material world
Senses never gratified
Only swelling like a tide
That could drown me in the
     material world

Living In a Material World - George Harrison

yes, I know, is like "goodbye to romance" by Ozzy Osbourne, it talks about leaving B Sabbath, and you know, I still feel Harris is the boss, no matter what.  :yes:


Goodbye To Romance

[Daisley - Osbourne - Rhoads]

Yesterday has been and gone
Tommorow will I find the sun
Or will it rain
Everybody's having fun
Except me, I'm the lonely one
I live in shame

I say goodbye to romance, yeah
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet
We'll meet in the end

I've been the king, I've been the clown
Now broken wings can't hold me down
I'm free again
The jester with the broken crown
It won't be me this time around
To love in vain

I say goodbye to romance, yeah
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet
We'll meet in the end

And I feel the time is right
Although I know that you just might say to me
What'cha gonna do
What'cha gonna do
But I have to take this chance goodbye
To friends and to romance
And to all of you
And to all of you
Come on now

I say goodbye to romance, yeah
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet
We'll meet in the end

And the weather's looking fine
And I think the sun will shine again
And I feel I've cleared my mind
All the past is left behind again

I say goodbye to romance, yeah
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet
We'll meet in the end

Here is all mankind so proud of their achievements. There is a stone that is warmer than you by Helloween song mankind one of their best  : ok:

What's so civil 'bout war anyway?

for me the best lyrics ever written is Estranged, I just low those lyrics so much.

"I knew the storm was getting closer, and all my friends said I was hige"

"So close no matter how far"

metallica - nothing else matters

rage against the machine - guerilla radio

It has to start somewhere
It has to start sometime
What better place than here
What better time than now

ALL, HELL, CAN'T STOP US NOW!!!

that song has some great lyrics probably my favorite from Rage Against the Machine:

As the polls close like a casket
On truth devoured
Silent play in the shadow of power
A spectacle monopolized
The cameras eyes on choice disguised
Was it cast for the mass who burn and toil?
Or for the vultures who thirst for blood and oil?

that is badass.

I worked to hard for my Illusions just to throw them all away. GNR

Why did you kiss the world goodbye
Dont you know paradise takes time

Come dancing with devils
Need not to know their names
We'll waltz like an army
For the fear of our pain
Our souls become useless
As the day they were born
In a rusted arm rocking chair
Away from your storm

But still, the truth remains lethal
A lie made by man
Where my shoes become hammers
And my words become sand
Like a sour patch, a wedding batch
Of roses you threw across my floor
In the rusted arm rocking chair
Away from your storm

Come In Closer

Guns N' Roses - "Mr. Brownstone"

I get up around seven
Get outta bed around nine
And I don't worry about nothin' no
Cause worryin's a waste of my [fuckin'] time



Ac/Dc - "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock N' Roll)"

If you think it's easy doin' one night stands
Try playin' in a rock roll band
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll

Hotel, motel
Make you wanna cry
Lady do the hard sell
Know the reason why
Gettin' old
Gettin' grey
Gettin' ripped off
Under-paid
Gettin' sold
Second hand
That's how it goes
Playin' in a band



Motorhead - "The Chase Is Better Than The Catch"

Silver tounged devil, demon lech,
You know just what I'm doing,
I like a little innocent bitch,
You know I ain't just screwing,
I love you baby, love you too much,
I like it fine, I feel your touch,
But your appearance don't hold no class,
You know The Chase Is Better Than The Catch



Motorhead - "Orgasmatron"

I am the one, Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand
My image is of agony, my servants rape the land
Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain
Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name
Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law
My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore.

I twist the truth, I rule the world, my crown is called deceit
I am the emperor of lies, you grovel at my feet
I rob you and I slaughter you, your downfall is my gain
And still you play the sycophant and revel in you pain
And all my promises are lies, all my love is hate
I am the politician, and I decide your fate

I march before a martyred world, an army for the fight
I speak of great heroic days, of victory and might
I hold a banner drenched in blood, I urge you to be brave
I lead you to your destiny, I lead you to your grave
Your bones will build my palaces, your eyes will stud my crown
For I am Mars, the god of war, and I will cut you down.



Led Zeppelin - "Tangerine"

Measuring a summers day,
I only finds it slips away to grey,
The hours, they bring me pain.

Tangerine, tangerine,
Living reflection from a dream;
I was her love, she was my queen,
And now a thousand years between.

Thinking how it used to be,
Does she still remember times like these?
To think of us again?
And I do.

"Dance to the tension of a world on edge" Garden of Eden
"Don't damn me when I speak a piece of mind" Don't Damn Me"

"We all like to put the blame on society these days
But what kind of good or bad a new generation brings
Sometimes take just more than that to survive be good at heart
There is evil in some of us no matter what will never change"

Iron Maiden - The Thin Line Between Love And Hate.  :peace:

"You know,
I've been the dealer
Hangin' on your street,
I was the dog
they all tried to beat..."


"...And just like a hooker she said, "Nothin's for free,"
Oh I tried to see it your way,
I tried to see it your way."

Maybe not the best lines ever in a song, but some of my favorites.

You're my favourite colour, favourite season, favourite soul.
-- A Song my best friend wrote about ME  ;D

"just because you're winnin' don't mean you're the lucky ones" GNR~breakdown

"This is the end, my only friend the end" -The Doors

Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I cant let you slide through my hands

Wild horses couldnt drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldnt drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Wild horses couldnt drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldnt drag me away

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I dont have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Lets do some living after we die

Wild horses couldnt drag me away
Wild, wild horses, well ride them some day

Wild horses couldnt drag me away
Wild, wild horses, well ride them some day

 : ok:  one of my newest favorite songs of all time

Strapping Young Lad - Far Beyond Metal

Oh, you ironic pop-rock fuck
Don't you fuck with METAL
One line and you're outta control
Yeah, we fucking OWN YOU!

Now in the halls of the necro lord
Flash of fear when he sees my sword
Raped his woman, smoked his bone
Leave a booger underneath his throne!

 :rofl: Devin's hilarious! (In case you don't know him and think this is _at all_ serious... think Mike Patton to get in the right frame of mind :))

"It's Reebok pumps ya dumb fuck!" - from Compton & Juice Diss by Gazeebow Unit

If ignorance is bliss, then knock the smile off my face

RATM - Settle for Nothing

The Rolling Stones' lyrics are extremely underrated

100 Years Ago by them is one of my favourite lyrics ever... Especially the part

"Don't you think sometimes it's wise not to grow up?"

I also love this one, by Jeff Buckley:

"Too young to hold on, and too old to just break free and run"

The sky was bible black in Lyon
When I met the Magdalene
She was paralysed in a streetlight
She refused to give her name
And a ring of violet bruises
They were pinned upon her arm
Two hundred francs for sanctuary and she led me by the hand
To a room of dancing shadows where all the heartache disappears
And from glowing tongues of candles I heard her whisper in my ear
"'J'entend ton coeur"
I can hear your heart

Marillion - Bitter Suite

time just heals the pages in my book of memories

? ?...and

? ? ? ? ? ? ? so many seem so lonely with noone left to cry to baby..

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Guns n roses- dont cry (alt. lyrics)

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if your clever and they despise a fool
Till ya so fuckin crazy you cant follow their rules

wendesday 13 - god is a lie

"life's a grave, dig it"

Aerosmith - cryin'

I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' cause I let you
Do what you do to me

"by bloody hands of the hypnotized
that carry the cross of homoside"

Civil War

i love them two lines

"All that shines turns to rust
All that stands in time turns to dust"

BLS - Rust

If I picked a GNR lyric it might be:

"It's so easy to be social
It's so easy to be cool.
Yeah, it's easy to be hungry,
When you ain't go shit to lose."

This one's also great:

"Been dazed and confused for so long its not true,
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Lots of people talk and few of them know,
Soul of a woman was created below."

And this one's always appealed to me:

"I've got wild staring eyes.
And I've got a strong urge to fly.
But I got nowhere to fly to."

and in the land of star crossed lovers
and barren hearted wanderers
forever lost in forsaken missives and satan's pull
we seek the unseekable and we speak the unspeakable
our hopes gathering dust to dust
in faith, in compassion, and in love

-Smashing Pumpkins, "Cupid De Locke" the whole is fantastic but these last words are amazing.

 :rofl:

Homicide, man, homicide...

The figure stands expressionless
Impassive and alone
Unmoved by this victory
And the seeds of death hes sown

Sworn to avenge
Condemned to hell
Tempt not the blade
All fear the sentinel

Judas Priest - The Sentinel.

it's time for some new favorite lines muthafuckas, no one has posted any in close to 2 years..

What do I have to do for you to let me
Lick you into something like paradise
Let me grab your neck and taste you honey
Pleasure without money
 
I love you when you touch yourself
Watch yourself, express yourself with me

Cause I used you as my ashtray

I don't need no immediate relation
Seems like a lot of women live close to desperation
Let me look into your eyes
Have you been around
Promiscuous clown

I don't want to repeat my life
You were my Monday, tomorrow's Tuesday my love
If no woman's around, a little sensation
Endless masturbation

all lines from have you been around with hardcore superstar, wish they got back to those lyrical themes and sound :P

She's got a brother
We don't get on with one another
But I quite fancy her mother
And I think that she likes me

She's got a cousin
In fact, she's got 'bout a dozen
She's got one in the oven
But it's nothing to do with me

Oasis - She's Electric

All hail Noel Gallagher.

when I die put that bottle in my hand
all these years on earth, it was my only friend
when you dig a whole and gunna bury me
put that gottle of jim beam to rest beside me
when I die , you don't have to cry
you don't have to feel no feelings inside
when I die , when I die
down to hell is my final destination

when i die - gg allin

More Oasis:

I hate the way that you are so sarcastic
And you're not very bright
You think that everything you've done's fantastic
Your music's shite, it keeps me up all night
Up all night

from Married With Children ;D

Pink Floyd:

And it's too late to lose
the weight you used
to need to throw around.
Dogs

Not all Floyd lyrics are perfect... But that is pure poetry!

I miss the catch if they throw me the ball
I'm the last chick standing up against the wall
Keep up falling, these heels that keep me boring
Getting glammed up and sitting on the fence now
So alone all the time and I lock myself away
Listen to me, I'm not
although I'm dressed up out 'n all
With everything considered they forget my name, ame ame ame...

They call me hell
They call me Stacey
They call me her
They call me Jane
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name!

They call me quiet girl
But I'm a riot
Mary-Jo-Lisa
Always the same
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my nay me!

Some pieces of Bumblefoot songs:

"Life is what happens in-between the dreams you're trying to remember
Life is what happens in-between going for your longest breath underwater
Life is what happens in-between the red lights and stop signs
Life is what happens in-between losing your patience on the express line

Life is what happens in-between letting the phone ring and staring at the number
Life is what happens in-between finding out what no one wants to tell ya.
Life is what happens in-between staying for the end of your favorite song
Life is what happens in-between wanting to say it, but waiting too long

Life is what happens in-between each fight on the message board
Life is what happens in-between each time I leave for another tour
Life is what happens in-between the holding out for a better spot
Life is what happens when you take a chance and lose what ya got

Life is what happens in-between the traffic stopped to look at the crash
Life is what happens in-between forgetting to hit save and starting from scratch
Life is what happens between agreeing that the year went by so fast
Life is what happens and all we have becomes a dash"

in "Dash"


"I can only give what I got
But all I have is what I wanna see
So you can ask for anything
But I can't share an invisible piece of me
Like a mask - the inside is the opposite face from the outside
And the tougher the skin, or the brighter the grin,
The more we shelter from the world - or maybe just from ourselves"

in "Time"

Yeah... Those are more favourite lyrics, ladies. Let's not get ridiculous, now...

In Ft. Worth all the neon's burnin' bright.
Pretty lights, red and blue.
But they'd shut down all the honky tonks tonight
And say a prayer or two,
If they only knew.

Ft. Worth Blues, Steve Earle

Well to me he was a hero of this country.
So why's he all dressed up like them old men?

Desperados Waiting For A Train, Guy Clark

Pink Floyd- One of My Turns

Day after day, love turns grey
Like the skin of a dying man
And night after night we pretend it's all right
But I have grown older and
You have grown colder and
Nothing is very much fun any more.
And I can feel one of my turns coming on.
I feel cold as a razor blade
Tight as a tourniquet
Dry as a funeral drum

Smashing Pumpkins- Behold! the Nightmare

I've faced the fathoms in your deep
Withstood the suitors' quiet siege
Pulled down the heavens just to please you
To hold the flower I can't keep

Guns N Roses- Locomotive

If Love is blind i guess ill buy myself a cane

Guns N Roses- Estranged

When I find out all the reasons
Maybe I'll find another way
Find another day
With all the changing seasons of my life
Maybe I'll get it right next time
An now that you've been broken down
Got your head out of the clouds
You're back down on the ground
And you don't talk so loud
An you don't walk so proud
Any more, and what for

Well I jumped into the river too many times
to make it home
I'm out here on my own, an drifting all alone
If it doesn't show give it time
To read between the lines
'Cause I see the storm getting closer
And the waves they get so high
Seems everything We've ever known's here
Why must it drift away and die

Guns N Roses - Coma

The last 3 minutes of the song  :hihi:

Pink Floyd- Goodbye Cruel World

Goodbye cruel world
I'm leaving you today
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye all you people
There's nothing you can say
To make me change my mind
Goodbye
 
Those are some good ones but there are many more and i could say so many more Guns songs like Catcher in the rye, rocket queen, novemberrain, civil war  : ok:

"I guees I needed some time to get away
 I needed some piece of mind
 Some piece of mind that'll stay..."

Don't count your chickens 'cause they're never gonna hatch
You can't catch a monkey with a shotgun and a sack
'Cause you're too dumb, baby
You can't see the wood for the tress
'Cause you're too slow, baby
You just couldn't get off your knees

The Stone Roses - Something's Burning

Love the way it's sung as much as the words 8)

Jay-Z - 99 Problems

If you're havin' girl problems i feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one

Mudvayne - A World So Cold

Hold the hand of your best friend, look into their eyes
Then watch them drift away



++ Last part of Coma + Estranged and so many other songs!!!

what I thought was true before were lies I couldn't see.
What I thought was beautiful is only a memory!

Street of dreams - Guns 'N'Roses

Another head aches, another heart breaks
I'm so much older than I can take
And my affection, well, it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no, no, no, no

Help me out
Yeah, you know you gotta help me out

The Killers - All These Things That I've Done


I love the lyrics to the whole song, but especially that part
