Favourite line?

[Skeletor]

America, "A Horse with no name"

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

[Nighteyes]

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

[journey]

^ 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

America, "A Horse with no name"

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

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..

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.

Love 'im! 

[journey]

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

[.Seal]

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.. 

[journey]

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

[FortusGNR21]

"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!

[Thorned Rose]

Here's a good one,

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

Bush - 16Stone - 1994

[Lithium]

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

Janis Joplin - Me And Bobby McGee

[Vicious Wishes]

"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.

[journey]

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

[Drew]

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

[In absentia]

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

[Doc Emmett Brown]

^ 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'

[Neemo]

"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

[Kujo]

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
