lovelygirl18 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Matthew Good Band-"The Fine Art of Falling Apart": A time of darkness You will look absurd and you will feel inert And you will go looking to blame somebody You see I used to think that I'd get over everything But everything just got over me Incubus- "Privilege": Isn't it strange that a gift could be an enemy? Isn't it weird that a privilege could feel like a chore? Maybe it's me but this line isn't going anywhere, maybe if we looked hard enough, we could find a backdoor. i will probably add more as they come to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrysalis_stage Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I have lots of fave lyrics but some that come to mind atm are: Machine head - wipe the tears Let me tell you how it feels To feel like you're a failure Been climbing out this gutter For what seems like it's forever But one thing I must make clear The struggle of these years Has made every scar the stronger My lust for life the longer I will fight for what I love And I will fight for those I care I will fight at anytime And I will fight anywhere With my heart aimed at this world Destiny I watch unfurl I'll wipe away the tears Wipe away the tears Cyndi Lauper/ Eva Cassidy - true colours You with the sad eyes Don't be discouraged Oh I realize It's hard to take courage In a world full of people You can lose sight of it all And the darkness there inside you Makes you feel so small But I see your true colours Shining through I see your true colours That's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show Your true colours True colours are beautiful, Like a rainbow Show me a smile then, And don't be unhappy, can't remember when I last saw you laughing If this world makes you crazy And you've taken all you can bear You call me up Because you know I'll be there Nightwish - creek marys blood I am like the caribou And you like the wolves that make me stronger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I've always thought the lyrics to Land Down Under by Men at Work were very funny and clever: Traveling in a fried-out combie On a hippie trail, head full of zombie I met a strange lady, she made me nervous She took me in and gave me breakfast And she said, "Do you come from a land down under? Where women glow and men plunder? Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover." Buying bread from a man in Brussels He was six foot four and full of muscles I said, "Do you speak-a my language?" He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich And he said, "I come from a land down under Where beer does flow and men chunder Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover." Lying in a den in Bombay With a slack jaw, and not much to say I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me Because I come from the land of plenty?" And he said, "Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah) Where women glow and men plunder? Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover."

Talisman Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Reflections - I like the Michael Crawford version best Look at me You may think you see Who I really am But you'll never know me Every day, is as if I play a part Now I see If I wear a mask I can fool the world But I cannot fool my heart Who is that girl I see Staring straight back at me? When will my reflection show Who I am inside? I am now in a world Where I have to hide my heart And what I believe in But somehow I will show the world What's inside my heart And be loved for who I am Who is that girl I see Staring straight back at me? Why is my reflection Someone I don't know? Must I pretend that I'm Someone else for all time? When will my reflection show Who I am inside? There's a heart that must Be free to fly That burns with a need To know the reason why Why must we all conceal What we think, how we feel Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide? I won't pretend that I'm Someone else for all time When will my reflection show Who I am inside? When will my reflection show Who I am inside?

BookJumper Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Here's a mere handful of mine: Mull of Kintyre, Paul McCartney Far have I travelled, and much have I seen Dark distant mountains, with valleys of green Past-painted deserts, the sun sets on fire As he carries me home to the Mull of Kintyre The Show Must Go On, Queen My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies Fairy-tales of yesterday will grow but never die The Book Lovers, The Divine Comedy Happy the man, and happy he alone Who in all honesty can call today his own He who has life and strength enough to say Yesterday's dead and gone, I'm gonna live today Where is it Written, Barbra Straisand And why have eyes that see and arms that reach unless you're meant to know there's something more If not to hunger for the meaning of it all then tell me what a sould is for Why have the wings unless you're meant to fly And tell me please why have a mind if not to question why? Art in Me, Jars of Clay Broken stained-glass windows, the fragments ramble on Tales of broken souls, an eternity's been won As critics scorn the thoughts and works of mortal man My eyes are drawn to you in awe once again Friday I'm in Love, The Cure I don't care if Monday's black Tuesday, Wednesday, heart attack Thursday never looking back It's Friday I'm in love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nollaig Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 And maybe I could live forever If not ever i had known That you'd be waiting there whenever I am all alone But here I am Well I woke up in a car I traced away the fog So I could see the Mississippi on her knees I've never been so lost I've never felt so much at home Please write my folks and throw away my keys. - Something Corporate, "I Woke Up In A Car" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimmy619 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Foo Fighters - Everlong Breathe out so I can breathe you in (only one line, but I love it!) Incubus - Stellar Meet me in outerspace We Could speant the night, watch the earth come up I've grown tired of that place, won't you come with me We could start again How do you do it, make me feel like I do How do you do it, it's better than I ever knew Meet me in outserspace I will hold you close if you're afraid of heights I need you to see this space it might be the only way There are loads that I like, but the above are probably my favourites!

Lucybird Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 The jeans I'm wearing at the moment are covered with favourite lyrics...err what can I see from here... "There's not many things for which I'd go to war. You're the only person I would go there for, just you" That's a Misty's Big Adventure one, but I can't think of the name right now... Has actually been ages since I added anything to these jeans, but I'm sure there are new lyrics I've liked since last time I added something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rach.at.the.disco Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 The first ones that spring to mind are: Goo Goo Dolls - Iris And I'd give up forever to touch you 'Cause I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't want to go home right now And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life And sooner or later it's over I just don't wanna miss you tonight And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's meant to be broken I just want you to know who I am And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your life When everything feels like the movies And you bleed just to know you're alive Lifehouse - You and Me All of the things that I wanna say just ain't coming out right I'm tripping on words, you've got my head spinning I don't know where to go from here McFly - Down Goes Another One And how can I go on 'Cause when I'm in the sun I see your shadow on the ground But you're never there when I turn around 'Cause every time I fall asleep my dreams are haunted And every time I close my eyes I'm not alone And every time I cry I'm right back where you wanted I try to drown you out so down goes another one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimitra Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Ceremony-Joy Division This is why events unnerve me, They find it all, a different story, Notice whom for wheels are turning, Turn again and turn towards this time, All she ask's the strength to hold me, Then again the same old story, Word will travel, oh so quickly, Travel first and lean towards this time. Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown, Heaven knows, it's got to be this time, Watching her, these things she said, The times she cried, Too frail to wake this time. Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown, Heaven knows, it's got to be this time, Avenues all lined with trees, Picture me and then you start watching, Watching forever, forever, Watching love grow, forever, Letting me know, forever. Heart And Soul (Part)-Joy Division Existence well what does it matter? I exist on the best terms I can. The past is now part of my future, The present is well out of hand. Walking In My Shoes-Depeche Mode I would tell you about the things they put me through The pain I've been subjected to But the Lord himself would blush The countless feasts laid at my feet Forbidden fruits for me to eat But I think your pulse would start to rush Now I'm not looking for absolution Forgiveness for the things I do But before you come to any conclusions Try walking in my shoes Try walking in my shoes You'll stumble in my footsteps Keep the same appointments I kept If you try walking in my shoes If you try walking in my shoes Morality would frown upon Decency look down upon The scapegoat fate's made of me But I promise now, my judge and jurors My intentions couldn't have been purer My case is easy to see I'm not looking for a clearer conscience Peace of mind after what I've been through And before we talk of any repentance Try walking in my shoes Try walking in my shoes You'll stumble in my footsteps Keep the same appointments I kept If you try walking in my shoes If you try walking in my shoes Try walking in my shoes These come in mind right now...

Nollaig Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I found a whole song whose lyrics I love. They remind me of A more than nearly any song. The lyrics are so exact they coulda been written by me. (I just left out one verse which is irrelevant and doesn't say much.) Kill - Jimmy Eat World Well, you're just across the street Looks a mile to my feet I wanna go to you Funny how I'm nervous still I've always been the easy kill I guess I always will Could it be that everything goes 'round by chance? Or only one way that was always meant to be You kill me, you always know the perfect thing to say I know what I should do but I just can't walk away Oh god, please don't tell me this has been in vain I need answers for all of the waiting I've done means You kill me, you've got some nerve, but can't face your mistakes I know what I should do but I just can't turn away So go on love Leave while there's still hope for escape Gotta take what you can these days There's so much ahead So much regret I know what you want to say I know it but can't help feeling differently I loved you, and I should have said it Tell me, just what has it ever meant? I can't help it baby, this is who I am Sorry, but I can't just go turn off how I feel You kill me, you build me up, but just to watch me break I know what I should do but I just can't walk away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionen Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me? Loser - Beck In my 7th grade girls choir we could bring in a mix tape with bits from songs that had our favorite lyrics. I included Loser by Beck and some of the popular girls were upset. I wish I could go back in time to relive that moment. I'll have to come back to this thread after I've given it some serious thought.

Chrissy Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Too many songs I love - but here are two that sprang to mind. Overkill by Colin 'Men At Work' Hay (Fans of Scrubs will recognise it!) I can't get to sleep I think about the implications Of diving in too deep And possibly the complications Especially at night I worry over situations I know I'll be alright Perhaps it's just imagination Day after day it reappears Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear Ghosts appear and fade away Alone between the sheets Only brings exasperation It's time to walk the streets Smell the desperation At least there's pretty lights And though there's little variation It nullifies the night from overkill Day after day it reappears Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear Ghosts appear and fade away Come back another day I can't get to sleep I think about the implications Of diving in too deep And possibly the complications Especially at night I worry over situations I know I'll be alright It's just overkill Day after day it reappears Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear Ghosts appear and fade away Ghosts appear and fade away Ghosts appear and fade away By Your Side - Sade You think I'd leave your side baby? You know me better than that You think I'd leave down when your down on your knees? I wouldn't do that I'll do you right when your wrong I----- If only you could see into me oh, when your cold I'll be there to hold you tight to me When your on the outside baby and you can't get in I will show you, your so much better than you know When your lost, when your alone and you can't get back again I will find you darling I'll bring you home If you want to cry I am here to dry your eyes and in no time you'll be fine You think I'd leave your side baby You know me better than that You think I'd leave you down when your down on your knees I wouldn't do that I'll do you right when your wrong I-----I, If only you could see into me Oh when your cold I'll be there To hold you tight to me Oh when your alone I'l be there by your side baby Just give me another hour and I will have about 100 song titles, the lyrics of which I find touching/profound/invigorating/poignant/moving!

busy91 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Orgasmatron by Motorhead 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 thousands years of misery, of torture in my name Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred 'lady of the night'. 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 your 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.

Ceinwenn Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Bad Timing by Blue Rodeo Hey it's me what a big surprise Calling you up from a restaurant Around the bend Just got in from way up North I'm achy and tired now And I could use a friend I'd be a fool To think that you do Want to see me again I Know it's been awhile since I talked to you Nothing wrong Just nothing ever goes as planned Many times I thought I'd call Didn't have your number in my hand Oh, I know it's true You'd never do The same thing to me I never meant to make you cry And though I know I shouldn't call It just reminds us of the cost For everything we've lost Bad timing that's all And maybe soon there'll come a day When no more tears will fall We each forgive a little bit And we both look back on it As just bad timing thats all Used to have so many plans Something always seemed to turn out wrong Never could catch up to you Moving on and doing all you've done I don't know why The harder I try The harder it comes I never meant to make you cry And though I know I shouldn't call It just reminds us of the cost For everything we lost Badtiming that's all And maybe soon there'll come a day When no more tears will fall We each forgive a little bit And we both look back on it It's just bad timing that's all We each forgive a little bit And we both look back on it It's just bad timing that's all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacefield Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 One of my fave RHCP songs- Hey Won't somebody come along And teach me how to keep it alive? To survive. Come along and show me something That I never knew in your eyes. Take away the tournicate. I used to be so full of my confidence, I used to know just what I wanted and just where to go. More than ever I could use a coincidence, But now I walk alone and talk about it when I know. Hey, oh yeah, how long? I guess I ought to walk away, Hey, oh yeah, so long... What you gonna do today? I don't wanna have to, but I will, If that's what I'm supposed to do. We don't wanna set up for the kill, But that's what I'm about to do. Let it on, I'll cut you off when you're screaming into the phone. Hard to own. Anyway, I wanna let you know that everything is on hold. What you gonna do to me? You used to be so warm and affectionate. All the little things I used to hear my fairy say, But now you're quick to get into your regret. I'll take the fall and now you got to give it all away. Hey, oh yeah, how long? I guess I ought to walk away, Hey, oh yeah, so long... What you gonna do today? I don't wanna have to, but I will, If that's what I'm supposed to do. We don't wanna set up for the kill, But that's what I'm about to do. Hey, what would you say if I stayed? Stayed for a while, if I may. Say it again and I'll come around, But not for the last time... Hey, what would you say if I changed? I'll change everything but my name. Play it again and I'll come around, But not for the last time. You used to be so warm and affectionate; I used to know just what I wanted and just where to go. And now you're quick to get into your regret; And now I walk alone and talk about it when I know... Hey, oh yeah, how long? I guess you gotta walk away; Hey, oh yeah, so long... What you gonna do today? Hey, oh yeah, how long? I guess you gotta get away; Hey, oh yeah, so long... What you gonna do today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionen Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) Our Lady Peace - Waited Hit the ground, Weighed down again You walked out But I'm sure you're my friend It must have been good This can't be for good Everyone's ... Is everyone ok I waited But I must be too dumb to be proud Because I waited, I waited Woke to sounds I prayed you were there I fell back down But I'm sure you still care The Juliana Theory - Into The Dark Dad, your boy is about to fall. He walks the razor's edge. He's on the brink of fading out. He's at his bitter end. Dad, your boy who used to run, you taught him how to crawl. He left home to find his own, now all he had is gone.
