I want to know what you consider the best lyrics ever, and I want to know why they are your faviourite lines.
The lines can be from any song at all, it could be 'ten green bottles standing on a wall' if you can tell me why that's such a fabulous lyric. No matter how simple, I'd like to know.

My lines of choice are from a little-known song called Wired to the Moon by a little-known band called The Revs.

"I asked her if she felt alone, like me,
She was deep in conversation with a cup of tea.
I shook her on the shoulder and
I told her I loved her,
But she's wired to the f!"£$*g moon."

I just like that verse because it sums up the song.
He loves this girl and it doesn't matter that she's crazy, at least not to him. I think you get a good idea of the singer and his girlfriend from that verse. Maybe it's just me. But I really love those lines.
Also, it's quite funny to think of someone talking to a cup of tea. Or maybe it's just me again.

well my fave lines are from fuel - shimmer. i just love the whole song.. i don't know it's what always happens to people in love and is just sad

"We're here and now, will we ever be again
'Cause I have found
All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
Away again"

woops forgot to say why... I guess it's just because the songs make you feel so good, they make you think and you can fit your own situation into the song

<I am here to tell you we can never meet again
Simple really, isn't it, a word or two and then
A lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when
You think of me or speak of me or wonder what befell
The someone you once loved so long ago so well>

sooo sad elton john - written in the stars.. they used it for the buffy & angel video.. makes me sad whenever i hear it

"Seventy Times 7" - Brand New

"So, is that what you call a getaway? Tell me what you got away with. Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish... and I've seen more guts on eleven-year-old kids. Have another drink and drive yourself home. I hope there's ice on all the roads. And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt, and again when your head goes through the windshield. And is that what you call tact? You're about as subtle as a brick in the small of my back. So let's end this call, and end this conversation... I can't let you let me down again."

amazing song

Ever since the first time i heard it, i have loved the lyrics to "between angels and insects" by Papa Roach.
Theres no money
Theres no possessions
Only obsession
I dont need that shit.

I just think its such a good song, and the lyrics tell the truth, that too many people only see the importance of material things, and not of those things in life that really matter.

Other lyrics i love include, alkaline trios "private eye"

I wont have to quit
doin fucked up shit
for anyone but me

just because i agree with it completely, and "the kids arent alright" by the offspring. I love all the lyrics to this song, just because it is so sad to think that after all the plans they had, the kids ended up being total dropouts, and making nothing of their lives (this is one of my great fears)

> rock on >

Pardon Me from Incubus:
"Pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world
and its people's mindless games"
...Cuz sometimes I just feel like exploding into bits

I knew there'd be a topic for this... even if the one I've found does appear to be 7 years old. There's possibly a more recent one somewhere, but oh well.

Currently I have a post-it of these lyrics next to my laptop:

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

But other current favourites include:
'Sometimes it like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull,
and cut a 6inch valley through the middle of my skull'

'I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd,
guess I got a little too excited when I thought you were around'
(seems a little random I guess, but as a generally too easily excitable person, I like it.)

'Won't you kiss me on that midnight street,
sweep me off my feet.
Singin' ain't this life so sweet'

'So you,
you could wear a dress out, chin'll hit the floor, my chin'll hit the floor.
And you could flutter those lashes, been trying to ignore, been trying to ignore you.
And I will wait for the real thing -
I will wait for the real thing.
You might as well quit, if you haven't got it.'

'I know I said I love you, but I'm thinking I was wrong,
I'm the first to admit that I'm still pretty young,
and I never meant to hurt you and I wrote you 10 lovesongs:
about a guy that I could never get, and his girlfriend was pretty fit,
and everyone who knew her loves her so -
and I made you leave her for me, and now I'm feeling pretty mean,
but my mind has f*cked me over more times than any man could ever know.'
and from the same song:
'The same man, he turns to me,
says "I've got to tell you how I feel,
if God could make a perfect girl for me it would be you."'

Yeah these are just the lyrics I always come back to at the moment, and need to stop posting again and again in randomness.

"I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most yeah
Just gotta keep going
And I, I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on
Cause...

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an up-hill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb"

"You can change your hair and you can change your clothes
You can change your mind, that's just the way it goes
You can say goodbye, you can say hello
But you'll always find your way back home
You can change your style, yeah your can change your jeans
You can learn to fly and you can chase your dreams
You can laugh and cry but everybody knows
You'll always find your way back home"

"You lift my feet off the ground you spin me around
You make me crazier crazier
Feels like I'm falling
And I, I'm lost in your eyes
You make me crazier crazier crazier"

Ugh. I am such a teenager

I also love the song "found a peanut". never fails to annoy my friend >

new post it notes above my desk:

'And I have learned that even landlocked lovers yearn for the sea like navy men'
and a picture of a boat.

'So scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen
(this means you really love me)'

and a couple more general:
'It took a tattooed boy from Birkenhead to really, really open her eyes'

'I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

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'

Also I already mentioned part of this song in earlier post, but before the 'gentle and kind' thing is my favourite couplet:
'with your triumps and your charms, while they are in each others arms'
but the entire lyrics to that song are all just amazing.

I think I pretty much link everything to song lyrics.

See, I don't.. know why.. I liked you so much,
I gave you all of my trust..
I told you.. I loved you..
Now that's all down the drain..
You put me through a pain..
I wanna let you know how I feel..


Fudge what I said.. It don't mean shit now..
Fudge the presents, might as well throw 'em out..
Fudge all those kisses, they didn't mean jack..
Fudge you, you hoe.. I don't want you back..

Fudge what I said.. It don't mean shit now..
Fudge the presents, might as well throw 'em out..
Fudge all those kisses, lthey didn't mean jack..
Fudge you, you hoe.. I don't want you back..

when you've got nothing left
you've got nothing left to lose
with my last left single breath
I'll still be singing to you
so when you bury me man
you better bury me deep
and sing along to this song
because you're broken like me
