What's your favourite lines from a song? Mine at this particular time are:

Mention the Lord of the rings just once more and I'll more than likely kill you, Moorcock, Moorcock, Michael Moorcock you fervently moan..
From Dickie Davies Eyes by Half Man Half Biscuit.

Pretty much all of 'It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding' by Dylan, but I've always thought

"Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief,
All kill their inspiration then sing about the grief"

from The Fly by U2 was a very cool little couplet.

"What a beautiful wedding says the bridesmaid to the waiter,
How desperate, what a shame, what a shame the poor grooms bride is a whore"

From I write sins not tragedies by Panic! at the disco.

By the way I have probably got the lyrics wrong, but i think they are generally what is said!

The screen door slams
Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside
darling you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me


Thunder Road - Springsteen

The morning slips away - in a valium haze,
And catalogues - and numerous cups of coffee.
In the afternoon - the weekly food,
Is put in bags - as you float off down the high street

The shop windows reflect - play a nameless host,
To a closet ghost - a picture of your fantasy -
A victim of your misery - and Private Hell

Private Hell - The Jam

Cos years have passed and things have changed
And i move anyway i wanna go!
I'll never forget the feeling i got
When i heard that you were home!
An' I'll never forget the smile on my face
'Cos i knew where you would be!
An' if you're in the Crown tonight,
Have a drink on me,
But go easy... Step lightly... Stay free...

Stay Free - The Clash

For now

"I Hope You Dance" (Lee Ann Womack)

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder.
You get your fill to eat, but always keep that hunger.
May you never take one single breath for granted.
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed.
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean.
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens.
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance.
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance-hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance.
Never settle for the path of least resistance.
Livin' might mean takin' chances, but they're worth takin'.
Lovin'might be a mistake but it's worth makin'.
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter.
When you come close to sellin'out, reconsider.
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance.
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean.
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens.
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance.
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

Dance, I hope you dance

Psycho Realm - Order through chaos
Chaos serves as smoke repeated hoax to screen
We lose control confused in the midst of staged scenes
Media invented unrelented reports presented
Often enough to make us think our world抯 tormented
Sentenced by the momentous news of feuds we side and choose
Use weapons and step in the trap we lose
Pick up wars designed to scar and kill ours
All because the broadcast flashed ghetto stars
How much television you watch you tube whores?
Keep score and wake up or they抣l do it some more

Crazy times and wild headlines
Document the city routine with hard rhymes
Blinded street teams clash
And push our message across the news flash
Baldheads are sick minded
And anyone who crosses the path is found dead
Through TV set nonsense
We sit and fit as the face of violence


psycho realm - Stone Garden

This is a time of pain
Warzone for your own gain
I roam the middle with the metal cause I'm insane
Break frames... catch a smoking
Is it gonna earn you a name?
Did you get slain?
Or fall victim to bald knuckle-heads and bad aim
It ends all the same
Every motha****er right here gotta jump on soul train
Some go up, some go south
Some get stuck in a realm with no way out
Some get to hide, O.D. on drug hits,
Dying in your sleep, that's the shit
But lives get took violently
On the streets of a lost city


Wu-Tang Clan - Triumph
Inspectah Deck..
I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies
and hypothesis can't define how I be droppin these
mockeries, lyrically perform armed robbery
Flee with the lottery, possibly they spotted me
Battle-scarred shogun, explosion when my pen hits
tremendous, ultra-violet shine blind forensics
I inspect you, through the future see millenium
Killa B's sold fifty gold sixty platinum
Shacklin the masses with drastic rap tactics
Graphic displays melt the steel like blacksmiths
Black Wu jackets queen B's ease the guns in
Rumble with patrolmen, tear gas laced the function
Heads by the score take flight incite a war
Chicks hit the floor, diehard fans demand more
Behold the bold soldier, control the globe slowly
Proceeds to blow swingin swords like Shinobi
Stomp grounds and pound footprints in solid rock
Wu got it locked, performin live on your hottest block

need you
dream you
find you
taste you
f*** you
use you
scar you
break you

lose me
hate me
smash me
erase me

kill me (distorted)
From NIN's 'Eraser'. Looks awful written like that. but when you can hear the emotion in the delivery, especially the 'erase me' bit, it's bloody fantastic! I'm getting goose-bumps just thinking about it

Quite a lot come to mind.
Don't know what my actual favourite is, I always hear lyrics on the radio and think wow, then five minutes later totally forget what song it was, I have such a bad memory.

"Story of My life, Searching for the Right, But it keeps avoiding me. Sorrow in My Soul, cos it seems that Wrong, really loves my company" Rihanna-Unfaithful

"I'm not Ready to Make nice, I'm not ready to back down, I'm still mad as hell and don't have time to go round and round and round. Its to late to make it right, probably wouldn't if I could, cos I'm mad as hell can't bring myself to do what it is you think I should." Dixie Chicks-Not Ready To Make Nice

My friend played me this song on my birthday while we were driving to the pub for lunch. I loved the lyrics. It's by Plan B and it's called Charmaine if anyone wants to check it out

The subject is quite shocking - especially the end line after listening to the words properly

I like Franz Ferdinand's The Fallen:
"And the Kunst won't talk to you
Because you kissed St Rollox Adieu
Because you robbed a supermarket or two
Well, who gives a damn about the profits of Tesco?"

I'm gonna get laughed at for this but:

"Slowly walking down the hall/faster than a cannonball"

Champagne Supernova by Oasis. It was voted (I think) the worst lyric of all time, but I like this oxymoron.

Was going to start a new thread but saw this one.

My fave song lyrics (at the moment) are also..

"I Hope You Dance" (Lee Ann Womack)

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder.

May you never take one single breath for granted.

Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance.

I hope you dance-hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance.

Some of my favourite lyrics:

Natalie Imbruglia - Lucas:

And Lukas would say,
For a million lonely people,
Another lonely day,
For a million hearts that open,
A million break,
And the world's just a fallen angel
In my wake,
High up in heaven you can hear them say,
Looking for Lukas
He is always running away

Leona Lewis - Alive

I breathe, I hear,
But I don’t believe it,
My heart, it beats,
But inside I’m freezing,
My hands, they shake,
They’ve lost all their feeling,
Nowhere to take,
You say that you’re leaving,
And there’s no turning back this time,
Gotta stay alive

Christina Aguilera - WooHoo

You know you really wanna (hey),
Wanna taste my (woohoo),
You know you wanna get a peak,
Wanna see my (woohoo),
You know you wanna put your lips,
Where my hips are (woohoo),
Kiss all my (woohoo),
All over my (woohoo)

No one said anything about fun lyrics

Light a candle, light a votive, step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh
This means no fear, cavalier, renegade steer clear!
A tournament, tournament, a tournament of lies
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline

Of the songs I'm listening to at the moment, my favourite is probably;

Sounds of Blackness - The Pressure
Playin' on the tension and your weakness are addictions that lure your mind astray
You can fight it. You can win, for your deliverance, just bow your head and pray.

To help you fight the pressure, the pressure, the pressure
pressure of the world.
