Best Lyrics.

[Duckman]

No whole songs please, just your favourite few lines:

Oasis, Live Forever:

"Maybe you're the same as me,
We see things they'll never see,
You and I are gonna live forever."

The Smiths, There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out:

"And if a ten ton truck,
kills the both of us,
to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die."

Let's hear them folks.

Peace

Duckman

[TheNthDegree]

Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon,
Going to the candidate's debate.
Laugh about it, shout about it,
When you got to choose:
Every way you look at this, you lose.
- Mrs Robinson by Simon and Garfunkel

Don't tell me how to live my life,
Don't tell me how to prey,
Don't tell me how to sing my song,
Don't tell me what to say.
- My Way by Los Lonely Boys

Hey, Conrad! What about that Starlet you're seeing? Are you two engaged?
Is he engaged? Is Conrad engaged?
There's absolutely nothing to the rumour he's engaged!
She's a real pal, like his sister, but it doesn't mean a thing.
And that 18 karat diamond ... was just a friendship ring!
(Yeah, well then why was her husband so mad?)
- Healthy Normal American Boy from Bye Bye Birdie

Broadcast me a joyful noise,
Unto the times, Lord.
Count your blessings.
We're sick of being jerked around,
We all fall down.
- Bad Day by REM

[Exile]

Please allow me to introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
Ive been around for a long, long year
Stole many a mans soul and faith
And I was round when jesus christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around st. petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a generals rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out,
Who killed the kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But whats confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me lucifer
cause Im in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or Ill lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, whats my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, whats my name
I tell you one time, youre to blame
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah
Whats me name
Tell me, baby, whats my name
Tell me, sweetie, whats my name
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah

No whole songs please, just your favourite few lines.

Don't make me come over there Lemke.

[Dave Johnson]

Don't pis off the Duckman.

[Rae]

You're a faith-healer on T.V.
You're an office park without any trees
Corporate and cold
Gushing for gold
Leave me alone.
You suck so passionately
You're a parasitic, psycho, filthy creature
finger-bangin' my heart
You call me up drunk
Does the fun ever start?
You're hideous and sexy!

She moves through moonbeams slowly
She knows just how to hold me
And when her edges soften
Her body is my coffin
I know she drains me slowly
She wears me down to bones in bed

Must be the sign on my head
That says, oh...
Love me dead! Love me dead!

-Love Me Dead, Ludo

[Drama Queen]

By the lonely prison wall, she heard the young man calling
"Nothing matters Mary when your free
Against the famine and the crown
I rebelled, they cut me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity"

Fields of Athenrye - Irish traditional

"It's been sure nice talking to you dad... sure nice talking to you"
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me

Cats in the Cradle - Harry Chapin (actually penned by his wife apparantly)

You can have anything you want
But you better not take it from me

Welcome to the Jungle - Guns N' Roses

[TaNK]

An' I know this crazy livin' just ain't right;
Most of the time I’m smoking, drinking, looking for a fight.
But I’ve been talking to Jesus everyday;
Well, I’ve been talking to Jesus every day.

-Sung by Willie Nelson on Pat Green's "Threadbare Gypsy Soul"

I think it sums up my life a little bit. Lately, I've been trying to get away from drinking as much and I am religous (I know some of you don't agree with it but still.) It just shows that nomatter what I do and as much sinning as I do that I can always try my best.

[Jeff Rivers]

I'm trying, im trying to drink away the part of the day
That I cannot sleep away

Polar Opposites by Modest Mouse

[AudiblyOffensive]

Leavin on a southern train
Only yesterday you lied
Promises of what I seemed to be
Only watched the time go by
And all of these things you said to me

Interstate Love Song - STP

[Zombie Gunn]

Should I fly to Los Angeles
Find my asshole brother

[Kendell Smith]

For romantic lyrics it's got to be Romeo and Juliet by Dire straits:

And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All do is keep the beat and bad company
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Julie I'd do the stars with you any time

And lyrics in general, Born of a Broken Man by RATM

My fears hunt me down
Capturing my memories
The frontier of loss
They try to escape across the street where
Jesus stripped bare
And raped the spirit he was supposed to nurture
In the name of my
In the name of my

[Scott Rage]

I still recall
The taste of your tears
Echoing your voice
Just like the ringing in my ears
My favorite dreams of you
Still wash ashore
Scraping through my head
'Till I don't want to sleep anymore

"Something I Can Never Have" by Nine Inch Nails


I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame it doesn't mean I don't desire to
Point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over.
To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication

"Schism" by Tool

Cracked eggs dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death can see it’s beady eyes
All these things into frution
All these things we’ll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out again. 

"Street Spirit" by Radiohead

[Rae]

"On the urge to feel alive,
But now I'm struggling to survive,
The days you were wearing,
That velvet dress,
You're the priestess,
must confess,
Those little red panties,
They pass the test,
Slide up around the belly,
Face down on the mattress"

-Semi-charmed life

[Rob]

Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking
When I said I’d like to smash every tooth
In your head

Oh ... sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking
When I said by rights you should be
Bludgeoned in your bed


And now I know how joan of arc felt
Now I know how joan of arc felt, oh
As the flames rose to her roman nose
And her walkman started to melt


The Smiths - Bigmouth Strikes Again

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you.

The Beatles - While My Guitar Gently Weeps
