"All my lovers where there with me, all my past & future. And we all went into heaven in a little rowboat, there was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt. There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt"

"People ask me when will I grow up to understand why the girls I knew at school are already pushing prams. I loved you then as I love you still... though I put you on a pedastal, you put me on the Pill. / I saw two shooting stars last night, I wished on them but they were only satellites. It's wrong to wish on space hardware, I wish.. I wish, I wish you'd care."
A New England, Kirsty Maccoll/Billy Bragg. |

Aaaaaah, nice thread! I have so many favourites, but here's some from the top of my head.....
'Yours is the first face that I saw, I think I was blind before I met you' - First Day of My Life (Bright Eyes) 'Talk over gin in teacups and leaves on the lawn, violence in bus stops and the pale thin girl with eyes forlorn' - Albion (Babyshambles) 'I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned' - Such Great Heights (Postal Service) |

I have a few, mostly from The Killers.
This Is Your Life - The Killers Wait for something better, No one behind you, Watching your shadows, You gotta be stronger than the story. This River Is Wild - The Killers Or should I just get along with myself? I never did get along with anybody else. I've been trying hard to do what's right, But you know I could stay here all night, And watch the clouds fall from the sky. Spaceman - The Killers Starmaker says it ain't so bad, Dream makers gonna make you mad, Spaceman says everybody look down, It's all in your mind. Bling (Confessions Of A King) - The Killers When I offer you survival, You say it's hard enough to live. Starlight - Muse My life, you electrify my life, Lets conspire to ignite, All the souls that would die just to feel alive. Top Of The World - The All-American Rejects Wasting away, I see you, When the top of the world, falls on you. Finally a day, don't wanna be you, When the top of the world, falls on you. It Ends Tonight - The All-American Rejects A falling star, at least I fall alone, I can't explain what you can explain, You're finding things that you didn't know, I look at you with such disdain. and The walls start breathing, My minds unweavinng, Maybe it's best you leave me alone. Fingerprints - Katy Perry It's my life, and I'm not sitting on the sidelines Watching it pass me by, I'm leaving you my legacy, I gotta make my mark, I gotta run it hard, I want you to remember me, I'm leaving my fingerprints on you. And basically the whole of The Box by Katy Perry and Champagne Supernova by Oasis. I can relate to every single lyric I've put, especially It Ends Tonight. That song pretty much sums up how I feel about my life on a whole. Okay, so that was more than a few, but the title of the thread is favourite song lyrics (plural)

At the risk of being so uncool with all these trendy people who like Killers and Pete Doherty, I love Albert Hammond's 99 Miles From LA.
![]() Keeping my eyes on the road, I see you. Keeping my hands on the wheel, I hold you. 99 Miles From L.A., I kiss you, I miss you, please be there. Passing the white sandy beach, we're sailing. Turning the radio on, we're dancing. 99 Miles From L.A., I want you, I need you, please be there. The windshield is covered with rain, I'm cryin'. Pressing my foot on the gas, I'm flyin'. Counting the telephone poles, I phone you. Reading the signs on the road, I write you. 99 Miles From L.A., we're laughing, we're loving, please be there. Very clever, and a beautiful song as well, even when sung by artists I'm not keen on like Johnny Mathis. |

- Pyramid Song, Radiohead I also like from How Soon is now - by the Smiths There's a club if you'd like to go you could meet somebody who really loves you so you go, and you stand on your own and you leave on your own and you go home, and you cry and you want to die Poor oul Morrissey! but seriously, great lyrics though. |

Why are you having a sly dig at people who like Killers and Doherty? I never put the lyrics to be cool and trendy, I put them because they genuinely mean something to me
![]() ![]() A lot of the threads on here go over my head cause I've never heard the songs being talked about, when I come on here and talk about Karen Carpenter and Albert Hammond. And 1970s French electronica. My musical tastes tend to stall at some point in 1984, so don't worry, I'm laughing at myself - if you love The Killers and Doherty, great!

But I find Brandon Flowers to be such a clever lyricist. The way he writes, he can do obvious (like My River Is Wild) and he can write in a way you cant interpret any way you want (Spaceman. The way I read into this song is really weird. I mean really weird. It's meant to be about a space abduction, but I see it as something totally diferrent. Something really beautiful.) If I had it my way I'd have put a lyric from every single Killers song But I thought it would be a bit ridiculous

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass,
Of what was everything. All the pictures have all been washed in black, Tatooed everything. All the love gone bad, turned my world to black, And tatooed all I see. All that I am. All I'll be. I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star... In somebody elses sky, But why, why, why, Can't it be... Can't it be mine? Pearl Jam - Black |

"So many people are looking to me to be strong and to fight, but I'm just surviving. I may be weak but I'm never defeated. I'll keep believing in clouds with that sweet silver lining"
Sweet Silver Lining - Kate Voegele "There are places I remember all my life, though some have changed. Some forever, not for better, some have gone and some remain. All these places have their moments, of lovers and friends I still can recall. Some are dead and some are living, in my life I loved them all. "And with all these friends and lovers, there is no one that compares with you. And these memories lose their meaning when I think of love as something new. And I know I'll never lose affection for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life I loved you more." There Are Places I Remember - The Beatles "And the tears come streaming down your face, when you lose something you can't replace, when you love someone and it goes to waste... could it be worse? Lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones, and I will try to fix you". Fix You - Coldplay |

'You hit me once
I hit you back You gave a kick I gave a slap You smashed a plate over my head Then I set fire to our bed' ...And the rest, from 'Kiss with a fist' by Florence and the Machine. (I hated them at first, but slowly becoming my fave!) |

Adam Lambert - ‘Soaked’
Soaked to the bone Sink like a stone Walk home alone It’s not the first time, it’s not the worst crime Your soul will be okay When you’ve had enough Searching for love And you miss the touch Of someone new Burns by dreams It’s never how it seems Cold crushed esteem Take shelter and hide forever Your soul will be okay And you’ve had enough Searching for love But you miss the touch Of someone new Ooooohh Ooooohh And you’ve had enough Searching for love But I miss the touch Of someone new Soaked to the bone Sink like a stone I will take you home It’s not the first time, it’s not the worst crime Our souls will be okay |

If I had to choose one lyric from any song, it would be And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make (The End - The Beatles) |

A lot of people call "In My Life" that, I've noticed.
Which reminds me of another song whose lyrics I love, One by U2 (it does my head in when people call it One Love )Is it getting better Or do you feel the same Will it make it easier on you now You got someone to blame You say... One love One life When it's one need In the night One love We get to share it Leaves you baby if you Don't care for it Did I disappoint you Or leave a bad taste in your mouth You act like you never had love And you want me to go without Well it's... Too late Tonight To drag the past out into the light We're one, but we're not the same We get to Carry each other Carry each other One... Have you come here for forgiveness Have you come to raise the dead Have you come here to play Jesus To the lepers in your head Did I ask too much More than a lot You gave me nothing Now it's all I got We're one But we're not the same Well we Hurt each other Then we do it again You say Love is a temple Love a higher law Love is a temple Love the higher law You ask me to enter But then you make me crawl And I can't be holding on To what you got When all you got is hurt One love One blood One life You got to do what you should One life With each other Sisters Brothers One life But we're not the same We get to Carry each other Carry each other One...life One |

These are mine.. Pink Floyd...
Day after day, love turns grey Like the skin of a dying man. Night after night, we pretend its all right But I have grown older and You have grown colder and Nothing is very much fun any more. And I can feel one of my turns coming on. I feel cold as a razor blade, Tight as a tourniquet, Dry as a funeral drum. |
