Favourite song lyric?
 
Mine changes every now and again, but right now my favourite is "Time for heroes" By the Libertines.

"We'll die in the class we were born,
That's a class of our own my love."

Its just so romantic, I think its perfect.

This one may not be my very very VERY fave (too much to choose from!) but this one is high up there:

And the light it burns your skin
In a language you don't understand.

from "Two-Step" by Low

Please don't cry for the ghost and the storm outside
Will not invade this sacred shrine nor infiltrate your mind,
My life down I shall lie if the bogey-man should try
To play tricks on your sacred mind, to tease, torment, and tantalize,
Wavering shadows loom,
A piano plays in an empty room
There'll be blood on the cleaver tonight,
And when darkness lifts and the room is bright, i'll still be by your side.

hilarie'sgirl 12-02-2007 05:51 PM

mine changes all the time, as well, but right now, it would have to be

She rode
On angel's wings
That used to shine
Oh so bright
Now the dark
Has caught the spark in her eyes and I
I can't find the air
(I'll wait for you, I cross my heart)

Dissolve and decay
There's nothing left for me (right now)


(right now)
Dissolve and decay
There's nothing left for me
Sit back
And let her die slowly, don't cry,
She didn't love you anyway


which is from "dissolve and decay" by hawthorne heights.

i can really relate to this song with whats going on in my life right now

"Let's sing a song about a woman's rage, sing a song about an empty stage,
A song, a song about how to sing,
A song song song about everything!"

Currently, from Degausser by Brand New off the album The Devil and God are Raging Inside of Me:

Take me, take me, back to your bed
I love you so much that it hurts my head
Say, I don't mind you under my skin
I'll let the bad parts in, the bad parts in

When we were made, we were set apart
A life is a test and I get that much
Now some saint got the job of writing down my sins
The storm is coming, the storm is coming...

djchameleon 12-04-2007 09:48 AM

And I'm brainless
Which means I'm headless
Like Ichabod Crane is
Or foreplay-less sex is
Which makes me stainless
With no neck left to hang the chain with
Which makes me necklace-less
Like a necklace theft
And I ain't used my headrest yet
They said they need proof like a vestless chest 'bout the best, fair F-F-jet in the nest
Who exudes confidence and excess depth
Even Scuba Steve would find it hard to breathe
Around these leagues
My snorkle is a tuba, Lu the ruler around these seas
Westside Poseidon, Westside beside'em, chest high and rising
Almost touching the knees of stewardess and the pilot
Lucky they make it flowered
Personal floating devices, tricks falling out of my sleeves
David Blaine
Make it rain
Make a boat
I make a plane
Then, I pull the plug and I make it drain
Until I feel like flowing and filling it up again..(Westside)

"Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, but there's just no one that gets me like you do
You are my only, my only one"

-Yellowcard

I like the lyrics to Miss Black America's 'Talk Hard', especially the line "Fourteen long years of school and all I learned was to fail..." because thats something I could relate to!

ProggyMan 12-05-2007 05:13 PM

Now after all these years you are at last opening was it worth all that war just to win
So caught up in the speed of the days in your sin
Don't forget how the story begins no
Don't forget now.
-Patrick Wolf, Overture

And we will burn the fleet,
We can never go home;
It's on to victory or under ground.
Burn the fleet, we'll be heroes or ghosts
But we won't be turned around.


-burn the fleet by Thrice

Pasolvon 12-07-2007 07:44 AM

I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or a dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops with me

currently;

sweetest girl by wyclef jean

Closed legs don’t get fed, go out there and make my bread
All you wanna know is where my money at?
She ended up in a roll call, bruised up, scarred hard
All you wanna know is where my money at?
She thought he’d call

thats my favorite lyric of the whole song

mjscarousal 12-07-2007 05:51 PM

Right now, I'm really digging these lyrics. There incredible and when Ms. Billie Holiday sings it she bleeds into the song. I love it, its so much emotion. Real good stuff.

Strange Fruit
Southern trees bear strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

Pastoral scene of the gallant south,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop.

By: Lewis allen Song by: Billie Holiday

"Chicks nickname me powder,
They Get High off my D**k,
I take em home,
They call it the ****pit!"

Classic...and classy!

At this moment:

"Everytime you close your eyes-lies." Arcade Fire

"Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you
Acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world." Tears For Fears

"She's going downtown, but she comes from uptown
Where the brokers and the dealers - socialise
She's going downtown
Cos she's a poet
And the Chinese bakery's open all night." The Auteurs

"How easy
Know the place I’m leaving
And the rest is just gone
It crept up on me
Ignored all my pleas
Begging to leave-
And when I awoke
I knew what was real
Hope to convince you
Lies they all torture me
Opened the door
Knew what was me
I finally realized
Parachute over me." Guster

Raw & Funky 12-09-2007 08:09 AM

so many but heres one...


Mad Skillz

The end of time as you know it without a shotty
In the simple game of freeze tag, I touched everybody
Man’s worst creation like the bomb
Just exist in life form, then I’m leavin town tomorrow
If I hadn’t done it, the world wouldn’t be clean
Now I memorize rhymes, work on my time machine
Nothin shall breathe, or be conceived
They shoulda known, now it’s on and the world’s on it’s knees
I feel relieved, free from their directions
Now I battle my reflection, ask rhetorical questions (uh-huh)
My actions, they might make mortals earl
I won’t have that problem, I inherited the world

lucylamppost 12-09-2007 02:10 PM

Oh one day when you’re looking back
You were young and man you were sad
When you’re young you get sad
When your young you get sad, then you get high
Oh man

lucylamppost 12-09-2007 02:12 PM

And if you want to find me I'll be out in the sandbox,
wondering where the hell all the love has gone.
Playing my guitar and building castles in the sun,
and singing "Fun, Fun, Fun."

"Smiling Faces sometimes
pretend to be your friend
Smiling Faces show no

from America is not the world by Morrissey

Quote:

In America, it brought you the hamburger. Well America you know where, you can
shove your hamburger. And don't you wonder, why in Estonia they say, Hey you, you big fat pig, you fat pig, you fat pig

i remember listening to that first time round it made me chuckle

anticipation 12-10-2007 03:25 PM

I'm not looking for another
As I wander in my time
Walk me to the corner
Our steps will always rhyme
You know my love goes with you
As your love stays with me
It's just the way it changes
Like the shoreline and the sea
But let's not talk of love or chains
And things we can't untie
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye

Joshee 12-10-2007 04:47 PM

Your lonely hands grab my suitcase full of nothing

or...

We are not scaremongering this is really happening

freakerbythespeaker 12-13-2007 06:32 PM

I’m just chilling in the park
Clear my mind
It’s a nice day
The sky’s still blue
The wind is still blowing
The trees are still growing

-I definitley like that little part out of the song "Thanks and Praise" by g. love.


As life gets longer, awful feels softer,
and it feels pretty soft to me.
And if it takes **** to make bliss,
well I feel pretty blissfully.

If life's not beautiful without the pain,
well I'd just rather never ever even see beauty again.
Well as life gets longer, awful feels softer.
And it feels pretty soft to me.

You Got Me So Hypnotized

You should aim for British nationality Ethan! sarcasm is our greatest export he he!

Nosmada 12-16-2007 09:55 PM

And you don't want to be here in the future
So you say the present's just a pleasant
Interruption to the past
And you don't want to look much closer
Because you're afraid to find out all this hope You had sent into the sky by now had crashed
And it did
Because of me
