Best Lyrics.

[Rae]

I promised you the world again
Everything within my hands
All the riches one could dream
They will come from me

I hoped that you could understand
That this is not what I had planned
Please don’t worry now
It will turn around

-More time, NeedtoBreathe

[Duckman]

Have you ever seen the light?
Don't you wonder where I hide?
I will live and I will die
I will keep you on my mind...

It's your eyes that make me smile
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Wasting time, hanging out
Oh yeah, oh yeah
These teenage years well they don't last
Oh yeah, oh yeah
These teenage lips they speak to fast.
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh Yeah - The Subways.

[Drama Queen]

I danced on the Friday when the sky turned black
It's hard to dance with the devil on your back
They buried my body, thought that I was gone
But I am the dance, and the dance lives on

[Sgt. Josh Underpants]

Life is not tried
it is merely survived
Garth Brooks-Standing Outside the Fire

Live for you
And not through me
The Ultraviolet Sound-Everything I Am

If love is a labor I'll slave till the end
Rise Against- Swing Life Away

Actually used the last one as my high school yearbook quote

[Jimmy Chisel]

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

Athenry* and it's a popular misconception that it is a traditional ballad. It isn't

"The Fields of Athenry" was written in the 1970s by Pete St. John.[1] A claim was made in 1996 that a broadsheet ballad published in the 1880s had similar words; however folklorist and researcher John Moulden found no basis to this claim, and Pete St. John has stated definitively that he wrote the words as well as the music.

As for me.

I’d rather sleep in a box like a bum on the street
Than a fine feather bed without your little ol’ cold feet
I’d rather be deaf, dumb, and stone blind
Than to know that your mornings will never be mine

I’d rather die young than to live without you
I’d rather go hungry than eat lonesome stew
It’s once in a lifetime and it won’t come again
It’s here and it’s gone on a magnolia wind

- Guy Clark  "Magnolia Wind"

I'd be riding horses if they let me
Sleep outside at night and not take fright
I would ride the reigns and never worry
I would disappear into the night

- Palace Brothers "Horses"

With mistletoe and candle green
To halloween we go
Ten murdered oranges bled on board ship
Lends comedy to shame
The cattle graze bold uprightly
Seducing down the door
To saddle swords and meeting place
We have no place to go

- John Cale "A Child's Christmas In Wales"

Send "Motel Blues" Ringtone to Cell



In this town television shuts off at two
What can a lonely rock & roller do
Oh the bed's so big and the sheets are clean
and your girlfriend said that you were 18
The styrofoam icebucket is full of ice
Come up to my motelroom treat me nice

I don't wanna make no late night New York calls
and I don't wanna stare at them ugly grassmatt walls
chronologically I know you're young
but when you kissed me in the club you bit my tongue
I'll write a song for you, I'll put it on my next L.P
Come up to my motelroom, sleep with me !

- Loudon Wainwright III "Motel Blues"

And most Leonard Cohen songs.

[Alex Smiley]

if only if only
the wood pecker sighs
the bark on the trees was as soft as
the sky
as the wolf waits below
hungry and lonely
he cries to the moo-oo-oon
if only if only

- "If Only" by Fiction Plane (lyrics used in the book/movie "Holes")

[Tim-Æ]

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
of our divinity and still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground I lose 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.
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.


"Lateralus" by Tool,  gives me chills every time.

[TaNK]

I normally don't like the rap music but I like this song and the lyrics here.

UGK - Hi-Life

[Bun B:]

You only got one life to live
That's all they give you to do it
You could bullshit your way through it
Or stay true, it can be complicated cause niggas
Be gettin' shot in the cross
People and names get lost
The people in the lane get tossed
The streets'll eat your ass alive
Take your positions with pistols, bare hands, and knives
And nobody's surprised if somebody
Don't survive the dusk to see dawn
It's treacherous how we was left to die
On the streets that we be on
Motherfuckers sleepin' on them corners that you pee on
Probably cause society felt they didn't belong
Now who in the fuck made it this way for us
Got all these little niggas slangin' that yay
Because it ain't like they make high levels gainable
And that punk piece of American pie just ain't obtainable
So how can I substain a full life before death
Man, I'm left out here to make it by my goddamn self
Now c'mon, who gives a damn when you can't afford the turkey or ham
Livin' off of Raemon Noodles, beef jerky, and Spam
Now that's sad, but that's a fact of life
All I can see in front of me is up for grabs
Come off that slab
Cause poverty will push a nigga over that brink
Over the edge especially if you don't know your ledge
So instead of being without, I'm hustling
Tryin' to get through these ungodly days
Thinkin' of ways to get the fuck outta this maze
A man will committ a crime 'cause a fuckin' crime pays
I'm going through a phase you don't grow out
Until there's a reason a mother fuckers gots to pour out
His 40 on the curb, disturbed and left with no doubt in his mind
But still sometimes he don't know why
He walkin' around just hopin'
He can get one more try to make it
It's bullshit he going through, but yo, he gots to take it
You can't fake it, to get that hi life

[TaNK]

I'm a thourough-bred
that's what she said
in the back of my truck bed
As I was gettin' buzzed on suds
Out on some back country road.
We where flying high
Fining, whine, having ourselves a big and rich time
And I was going, just about as far as she'd let me go.
But her evaluation
of my cowboy reputation
Had me begging for slavation
all night long
So I took her out giggin frogs
Introduced her to my old bird dog
And sang her every Wilie Nelson song I could think of

[Red]

if only if only
the wood pecker sighs
the bark on the trees was as soft as
the sky
as the wolf waits below
hungry and lonely
he cries to the moo-oo-oon
if only if only

- "If Only" by Fiction Plane (lyrics used in the book/movie "Holes")

I love fiction plane. My favourite lines from them still come from 'Cigarette' though:

Girl your smoking cigarettes
Rancid Poison on your breath
Taste yourself you smell like death
To love you I must drink my Meth

To Kiss is you is like lick the street
Tar and Spit between my teeth
Heart attacks and sweet relief
Take your pleasures life is brief

[Rob]

I know you're against full song lyrics, but really check this out. It's proof that Morrissey is a complete genius.

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well. Enough said.

I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Oh ...
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

See, the sea wants to take me
The knife wants to slit me
Do you think you can help me ?

Sad veiled bride, please be happy
Handsome groom, give her room
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
(Though she needs you
More than she loves you)

And I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Over and over and over and over
Over and over, la ...

I know it's over
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real

And you even spoke to me, and said :
If you're so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
And if you're so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight ?

I know ...

'Cause tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each other's arms...

It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over, over

It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over, over

Love is Natural and Real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love

Love is Natural and Real
But not for such as you and I, my love

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my ...
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can even feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my ...

It's called I Know It's Over. Give it a listen!!

[Duckman]

Oh dude, we could use another three pages on just the genius of Morrisey and his lyrics!

Here's my favourite, the whole song is awesome but I'll just post this little snippet:

"A dreaded sunny day and I'll meet you at the cemetry gates,
Keates and Yates are on your side
While Wilde is on mine"

[Soren]

And I'm not afraid to be the person that I am today - So Far Away by Staind

(Personal note: I think the emphasis on the lyrics are great, especially considering how the song plays out and what is portrayed. Always been a favorite, even if The Punisher movie sucked)

[Leese]

"There's no-one you can blame for all of your frustrations
The walls you've built, the bridges that you've burned
Nothing seems to change, despite your best intentions
Where will you go? Now that you're all alone..."

~ "Now That You're All Alone" - Stuck Mojo

"If I was perfect
Then this would be easy
Either road's plausible
On both I could drown
I walk through the center
With no rules to guide me
I realize it's difficult
But now I can see"

~ "Crossroads" - Avenged Sevenfold

[Red]

How did I know you would post A7x lyrics, Leese?

I'm adding mine:
"from sedated nights
to the bar room fights
as metrolpolis takes its toll"

Trashed and Scattered - A7x
