So Today We will Look at some of our favorite lyrics. Post some lyrics to songs which say something to you....
For me its a two song set from Muse's First album.. they work so well together.
Unintended
You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You could be the one I値l always love
You could be the one who listens to my deepest inquisitions
You could be the one I値l always love
I値l be there as soon as I can
But I知 busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before
First there was the one who challenged
All my dreams and all my balance
She could never be as good as you
You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You should be the one I値l always love
I値l be there as soon as I can
But I知 busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before
I値l be there as soon as I can
But I知 busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before
Before you
The next song though shows... who ever was that special one, didnt return the support and love...
UNO
This means nothing to me
'Cause you are nothing to me
And it means nothing to me
That you blew this away
'Cause you could've been number one
If you only found the time
And you could've ruled the whole world
If you had the chance
You could've been number one
And you could've ruled the whole world
And we could've had so much fun
But you blew it away
You're still nothing to me
And this is nothing to me
And you don't know what you've done
But I'll give you a clue
You could've been number one
If you only had the chance
And you could've ruled the whole world
If you had the time
You could've been number one
And you could've ruled the whole world
And we could've had so much fun
But you blew it away
You could've been number one
And you could've ruled the whole world
And we could've had so much fun
But you blew it away
Leave your lyrics...

My favorite lyrics consist of individual verses:
This is a new year
What you thought was such a conquest
Your hair is so pretty and red
Baby, baby your really the best.
-Interpol
Your the icing on the cake,
on the cake at the funeral, at my wake.
Your the flowers in my house
when my allergies come out
Your the best thing
-Modest Mouse
Immerse your soul in love,
Immerse your soul in love.
- Radiohead (best line to end an album)
Breathe out, so I can breathe you in
-Foo Fighters
Here's an oldie:
Almost cut my hair
Happened just the other day
It's getting kinda long
could've said it was in mt way
but I didn't and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
Yes, I feel like I owe it
to someone
-Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young
congrats autumn... you were the 4000th commenter on the site... you win well what you wanted for this day
Posted by: itzjerm at January 27, 2005 10:59 AMI have too many favorite lyrics to put here!
Here are a few:
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, nooooo
-Macarthur Park, Donna Summer
Sweet green icing flowing down? It really paints a vivid picture...and who hasn't felt the pain of losing a recipe? And after all that work of baking it...oh, nooooo...
------------------------------------------------
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru deva om.
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
Thay call me on and on across the universe.
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box,
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe.
Jai guru deva om.
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Sounds of laughter shades of love are ringing through my open ears,
Inciting and inviting me.
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns,
It calls me on and on across the universe.
Jai guru deva om.
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Jai guru deva om,
Jai guru deva om,
Jai guru deva om...
-Across the Universe, The Beatles
It's John Lennon, what more can you say? Every line is just pure poetry...limitless undying love...I just love the whole song...
------------------------------------------------
Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
What you and I spoke of
Others only dream of the love that I love
See I'm all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages forwards
More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive
Now you and I, you and I
Not so little you and I anymore
And with this silence brings a moral story
more importantly evolving is the glory of a boy
-You and I Both, Jason Mraz
Just one of my more recent favorites...I'm all about them words...unencumbered numbered words.
------------------------------------------------
Why do you love me? Why do you need me?
Always and forever...
We met in a chatroom, now our love can fully bloom...
Sure the world wide web is great, but you, you make me salivate...
I love technology, but not as much as you, you see...
But I STILL love technology...
Always and forever.
Our love is like a flock of doves, flying up to heaven above...
always and forever, always and forever...
Why do you need me? Why do you love me?
Always and forever...
-Kip Dynamite
Ha ha ... you can't say much more about this one..I just love it...I probably will dance it at my wedding...;)

Posted by: Autumn at January 27, 2005 11:34 AM"The sun came up with no conclusions
Flowers sleeping in their beds
The city's cemetery's humming
I'm wide awake, it's morning"
-Bright eyes
Posted by: mallory at January 27, 2005 11:55 AM
Just one of my favorite verses, among many:
If you ever need anything
Don't hesitate to ask someone else first
I'm too busy acting like I'm not naive...
Nirvana - Very Ape
And of course there are countless others, but I've always liked this one because it reminds me of so many people...
Posted by: keats at January 27, 2005 12:12 PM"It might sound crazy,
But it ain't no lie,
Baby, bye, bye, bye"
-'N Sync
Need I say more?
Posted by: Tre at January 27, 2005 12:22 PMOkay, one more...
"Booga,booga,booga,booga,booga,
booga,booga,booga,booga,booga,
booga,booga,booga, boooooty.
Remix, baby."
-R Kelly
The man is genius because he has the stupidest, most inept lyrics ever and he is still going platinum. Someone explain it to me.
Posted by: Tre at January 27, 2005 12:33 PMwell stupid people buy stupid albums... and well... platinum is only 1,000,000 sales... we know there are over 6 billion people on earth... so obviously there are enough out of 6 billlion to fill the bill of stupid!
Posted by: itzjerm at January 27, 2005 12:39 PM"The man is genius because he has the stupidest, most inept lyrics ever and he is still going platinum."
He and the majority of the stupid, inept folks in the music industry, my friend.
Posted by: Captian Jonathan!!! at January 27, 2005 12:46 PMRock And Roll Mcdonalds
by Wesley Willis
McDonalds is a place to rock
It is a place where they buy food to eat
It is a good place to listen to the music
People flock here to listen to the music
Rock and Roll McDonalds 4X
McDonalds will make you fat
They serve Big Macs
They serve quater pounders
They will put pounds on you
Rock and Roll McDonalds 4X
McDonalds hamburgers are the worst
They are worse than Burger King
A Big Mac has 26 grams of fat
A quarter pounder has 28 grams of fat
Rock and Roll McDonalds 4X
Rock on in London
Rock on Chicago
Wheaties, breakfast of champions
One of the greatest songs of all times... a classic. And not stupid.. because millions didnt buy it...
"There's no blame for how our love did slowly fade
And now that it's gone it's like it wasn't there at all
And here I rest where disappointment and regret collide
Lying awake at night
When I'm lying awake at night"
-Death Cab For Cutie ~ "Title & Registration"
"I swear I recognize your breath
memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
me, you wouldn't recall, for I'm not my former
it's hard when, you're stuck upon the shelf
I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate
perhaps that's what no one wants to see
I just want to scream...hello...
its been so long, never dreamed you'd return
but now here you are, and here I am
hearts and thoughts they fade...away..."
-Pearl Jam ~ "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter In A Small Town"
"Wish there was something now I could say or do
I can resist anything but the temptation from you
But I'd rather walk alone than chase you around
I'd rather fall myself than let you drag me on down
It wouldn't have worked out anyway
And now it's just another lonely day
Further along we just may
But for now, it's just another lonely day"
-Ben Harper ~ "Another Lonely Day"
Tremanie, you crack me up!
Posted by: Autumn at January 27, 2005 02:05 PM"Come in my cave,
and i'll burn your heart away"
-muse
"Sad, blue, the world is upside down
and birds fly backwards
Cats, dogs, fall first upon the ground
and birds fly backwards"
-ed
Hey little fella
Gotta change your touch

When we say less is more,

When we say less is more,
Less is more!
Charmin Ultra,
Less is more!
Ch cha cha!
Charmin!

Cows with guns:
Intro
------
Am G Am
[Am]Fat and docile, big and dumb
They look so stupid, they aren't much fun
[G]Cows aren't [Am]fun
[Am]They eat to grow, grow to die
Die to be et at the hamburger fry
[G]Cows well [Am]done
[Am]Nobody thunk it, nobody knew
No one imagined the great cow guru
[G]Cows are [Am]one
[Am]He hid in the forest, read books with great zeal
He loved Che Guevera, a revolutionary veal
[G]Cow Tse [Am]Tongue
[Am]He spoke about justice, but nobody stirred
He felt like an outcast, alone in the herd
[G]Cow dol[Am]drums
[Am]He mooed we must fight, escape or we'll die
Cows gathered around, cause the steaks were so high
[G]Bad cow [Am]pun
[Am]But then he was captured, stuffed into a crate
Loaded onto a truck, where he rode to his fate
[G]Cows are [Am]bummed
[Am]He was a scrawny calf, who looked rather woozy
No one suspected he was packing an Uzi
[G]Cows with [Am]guns
[Am]They came with a needle to stick in his thigh
He kicked for the groin, he pissed in their eye
[G]Cow well [Am]hung
[Am]Knocked over a tractor and ran for the door
Six gallons of gas flowed out on the floor
[G]Run cows [Am]run!
He picked up a bullhorn and jumped up on the hay
We are free roving bovines, we run free today
We will [F]fight for bovine [C]freedom
And [E]hold our large heads [Am]high
We will [F]run free with the [C]Buffalo, or [E]die
Cows with [Am]guns
[Am]They crashed the gate in a great stampede
Tipped over a milk truck, torched all the feed
[G]Cows have [Am]fun
[Am]Sixty police cars were piled in a heap
Covered in cow pies, covered up deep
[G]Much cow [Am]dung
Black smoke rising, darkening the day
Twelve burning McDonalds, have it your way
We will [F]fight for bovine [C]freedom
And [E]hold our large heads [Am]high
We will [F]run free with the [C]Buffalo, or [E]die
Cows with [Am]guns
[Am]The President said "enough is enough
These uppity cattle, its time to get tough"
[G]Cow dung [Am]flung
[Am]The newspapers gloated, folks sighed with relief
Tomorrow at noon, they would all be ground beef
[G]Cows on [Am]buns
[Am]The cows were surrounded, they waited and prayed
They mooed their last moos,
they chewed their last hay
[G]Cows out[Am]gunned
The order was given to turn cows to whoppers
Enforced by the might of ten thousand coppers
But on the horizon surrounding the shoppers
Came the deafening roar of chickens in choppers
We will [F]fight for bovine [C]freedom
And [E]hold our large heads [Am]high
We will [F]run free with the [C]Buffalo, or [E]die
Cows with [Am]guns
The cow song rocked...I wonder why that never got any radio play, its has TRL written all over it.
