Favorite song lyrics

[hay82]

I have recently begun reading the lyrics to the songs I normally listen to, and I have found out that there are actually some lyrics I like.

So I was wondering, what is your favorit song lyric is right now, post it for all to see.

Right now this if my favorite.

Pink Floyd - Mother
Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb?
Mother do you think they'll like this song?
Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Mother should I build the wall?
Mother should I run for president?
Mother should I trust the government?
Mother will they put me in the firing line?
Mother am I really dying?

Hush now baby, baby, dont you cry.
Mother's gonna make all your nightmares come true.
Mother's gonna put all her fears into you.
Mother's gonna keep you right here under her wing.
She wont let you fly, but she might let you sing.
Mama will keep baby cozy and warm.
Ooooh baby ooooh baby oooooh baby,
Of course mama'll help to build the wall.

Mother do you think she's good enough -- to me?
Mother do you think she's dangerous -- to me?
Mother will she tear your little boy apart?
Mother will she break my heart?

Hush now baby, baby dont you cry.
Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you.
Mama wont let anyone dirty get through.
Mama's gonna wait up until you get in.
Mama will always find out where you've been.
Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean.
Ooooh baby oooh baby oooh baby,
You'll always be baby to me.

Mother, did it need to be so high?​

say goodbye
dave matthews band.

it was a hard choice. i love all his songs, but this one has been a fav for years.


So here we are tonight
You and me together
The storm outside, the fire is bright
And in your eyes I see
What's on my mind
You've got me wild
Turned around inside
And then desire, see, is creeping
Up heavy inside here
And know you feel the same way
I do now
Now let's make this an evening
Lovers for a night, lovers for tonight
Stay here with me, love, tonight
Just for an evening
When we make
Our passion pictures
You and me twist up
Secret creatures
And we'll stay here
Tomorrow go back to being friends

Go back to being friends
But tonight let's be lovers,
We kiss and sweat
We'll turn this better thing
To the best
Of all we can offer, Just a rogue kiss
Tangled tongues and lips,
See me this way
I'm turning and turning for you
Girl just tonight

Float away here with me
An evening just wait and see
But tomorrow go back to your man
I'm back to my world
And we're back to being friends
Wait and see me,
Tonight let's do this thing
All we are is wasting hours until the sun comes up it's all ours
On our way here
Tomorrow go back to being friends

Go back to being friends
Tonight let's be lovers, say you will
And hear me call, soft-spoken whispering love
A thing or two I have to say here
Tonight let's go all the way then
Love I'll see you,
Just for this evening
Let's strip down, trip out at this
One evening starts with a kiss
Run away

And tomorrow
back to being friends
Lovers...love...lovers
Just for tonight, one night...love you
And tomorrow say goodbye

 

[jenn]

well this is my other fav dave song.

Story of a man,
Who decided not to breathe.
Turned red, purple, then blue.
Colorful indeed.
No matter how his friends begged,
Well, he would not concede,
And now he's dead.
You see, cause everybody knows,
You got to breathe.

But, oh God,
Under the weight of life,
Things seem brighter on the other side...
Lighter on the other side...

Another one: See this monkey sitting on a tree,
One day, decided to climb down,
And run off to the city.
Look at him now, Tired and drunk
And living on the street.
As good as dead.
You see, a monkey should know,
Stay up your fuckin' tree.

But, oh God,
Under the weight of life,
Things seem brighter on the other side.
Oh, God,
But under the weight of life,
Things seem much brighter on the other side.

No way, no way, no way.... out... of here...

Another one: A big eyed fish,
Yeah, swimming in the sea,
Oh, how he dreamed.
He wants to be a bird,
Swooping, diving through the breeze.
One day, he caught a big blue wave,
Up onto the beach,
And now he's dead.
You see, a fish's dream,
Should stay in the sea.

But, oh God,
Under the weight of life,
Things seem brighter on the other side.

No way... no way... no way... out... of here...

No way out of life.

Ra Walking And Thinking lyrics


From the air I see your loneliness
You carry on despite your fear
Inside a box you keep your sanity
And it will never seem clear, to me
Over the hills, the light, it flows...
It shows the angels laughing
And where is the love that we're supposed to find?
Lost in a maze of games so very dark and overwhelming
Lost in these thoughts that seem to rule my mind
A simple spell cast is broken through
The force of life decides to bend
You lay below the sacred stormy skies
And you will write the end... for me
Over the hills, the light, it flows...
It shows the angels laughing
And where is the love that we're supposed to find?
Lost in a maze of games so very dark and overwhelming
Lost in these thoughts that seem to rule my mind
The door will close and I will be denied
A dagger thrust into my chest
You claim yourself to the victory
But it is I... who will rest, in peace
Over the hills, the light, it flows
It shows the angels laughing
And where is the love that we're supposed to find?
Lost in a maze of games so very dark and overwhelming
Lost in these thoughts that seem to rule my mind (2x)
My mind......

 

[Ell]

In the beginning
There was the cold and the night
Prophets and angels gave us the fire and the light
Man was triumphant
Armed with the faith and the will
That even the darkest ages couldn’t kill

Too many kingdoms
Too many flags on the field
So many battles, so many wounds to be healed
Time is relentless
Only true love perseveres
It’s been a long time and now I’m with you
After two thousand years

This is our moment
Here at the crossroads of time
We hope our children carry our dreams down the line
They are the vintage
What kind of life will they live?
Is this a curse or a blessing that we give?

Sometimes I wonder
Why are we so blind to fate?
Without compassion, there can be no end to hate
No end to sorrow
Caused by the same endless fears
Why can’t we learn from all we’ve been through
After two thousand years?

There will be miracles
After the last war is won
Science and poetry rule in the new world to come
Prophets and angels
Gave us the power to see
What an amazing future there will be

And in the evening
After the fire and the light
One thing is certain: nothing can hold back the night
Time is relentless
And as the past disappears
We’re on the verge of all things new
We are two thousand years.

Two Thousand Years - Billy Joel

 

[Geenh]

In my current state of mind...


I know your life is empty
And you hate to face this world alone
So your searching for an angel
Someone who can make you whole...

I can not save you...
I can't even save myself...
So save yourself

I know that you've been damaged
You soul has suffered such abuse
But I am not your savior
I am just as fucked as you...

I can not save you...
I can't even save myself...
So save yourself

Please don't take pity on me

My life has been a nightmare
My soul is fractured to the bone
So if I must be lonely
I think I'd rather be alone...

I can not save you...
I can't even save myself...
So save yourself

Stabbing Westward

 

[Wolhay]

Down where we belong by :Wumpscut:

There are two types of men on our mother earth
some have all the luck, some just live in dirt
here are several types of the colour of the skin
but what's crucial is to lose or win
you feel so alive where the eagles cry
and you feel so strong on a mountain high
but in fact you are at his bottom just
his unattainable top seems to be a must
we will stay down
down where we belong

And the rain keeps knocking on our mother earth
and the snow keeps falling is it really worth
to live through this ache and to die at last
when you're predestined and the die is cast
our thoughts are fading in a time that melts
our flesh is fading as we've always felt
but we kid ourselves to meet heaven's feast
to rise up to god and to be released
we will stay down
down where we belong

You belong to us
to the human scrap
which will never win and succumbs in traps
that are set by others with deceitfulness
and you stumble into with thankfulness
no one knows if we are to survive the storm
but i tell you man you are just a worm
just a little error on a hopeless crust
you are sleazy man and your limbs will rust
we will stay down
down where we belong

It rhymes.

Necrophilia by Suicide Commando

I want to get your body
I want to get inside
your ice cold body
covered in shrouds
I want to taste your body
I want to taste your smile
you make me feel so horny
you're making me go wild
necro philia necrophilia

I penetrate your body
I'm getting inside
your eyes wide open
staring at the sky
I'm taking of your clothes
you're looking so livid
to hell with religion
you're dead, I'm living
necro philia necrophilia

The last couple of lines crack me up but at the same time they're very rational.

[Billy Oblivion]

Wayne County & The Electric Chairs

If you don't want to **** me baby
baby
**** off....

 

[Halo]

Obviously it would be something by Morrissey, but I can't choose just one song.

 

[bobbyburns]

various lyrics
sonic youth​

from the sky, an epic falls, a rant for the ages, it's time to go round, it gets busy in my city head, takes a teenage riot to get me out of bed. riding the silver rocket. slicing titanium riffs crushed beautifully by cacophony's white slate, you can't stop it, sprawl of genius, which you can never buy enough of, shuffling, grinding, elevating a story to the highest heights. across the breeze, sailing on a minor key through crystalline beginnings, finding the source of genius, I wanna know--should I stay or should I go? that's enough, just me and that's all. total trash, grinding axes into wondrous dust. leave it all behind. finding something even better, back in 1963. put it all behind you, candle, while the wind's away, never thought I'd see dark star falling, a light in the thunderstorm of discordancy. wonders and hyperstations, riding hazy melodies into space, eliminate, fade away, day dreaming days in a daydream nation.

 

[Occlith]

Lilac Wine

I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
It makes me see what I want to see
and be what I want to be

When I think more than I want to think
Do things I never should do
I drink much more than I ought to drink
Because I brings me back you...

Lilac wine is sweet and heady
like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady
like my love
Listen to me...
I cannot see clearly
Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?

Lilac wine is sweet and heady
where's my love?
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady
where's my love?

Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
Isn't that he, or am I just going crazy, dear?
Lilac Wine, I feel unready
for my love...

-- James Alan Shelton

Out here many people "do" listen to English songs, but I dont. I listen to them once in a while, only if someone recommends some song to me. If my husband tells me some song is good, I listen to it. But, I dont have a favourite singer/band/artist.
Yeah, if someone asks me what my favourite song/lyrics in Hindi is I can go on and on about it

 

[Stewart]

This is my favourite song...ever.

Anna Begins (Counting Crows)

My friend assures me, "It's all or nothing."
I am not worried I am not overly concerned
My friend implores me, "For one time only,
make an exception." I am not worried
Wrap her up in a package of lies
Send her off to a coconut island
I am not worried I am not overly concerned with the status of my emotions
"Oh," she says, "you're changing."
But we're always changing

It does not bother me to say this isn't love
Because if you don't want to talk about it then it isn't love
And I guess I'm going to have to live with that
But I'm sure there's something in a shade of grey,
Something in between,
And I can always change my name
If that's what you mean

My friend assures me, "It's all or nothing."
But I am not really worried I am not overly concerned
You try to tell yourself the things you try to tell yourself
To make yourself forget I am not worried
"If it's love," she said, "then we're going to have to think about the consequences."
She can't stop shaking I can't stop touching her and...

This time when kindness falls like rain
It washes her away and Anna begins to change her mind
"These seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering for days," she says
And I'm not ready for this sort of thing

But I'm not going to break and I'm not going to worry about it anymore
I'm not going to bend, and I'm not going to break and I'm not going to worry about it anymore
It seems like I should say, "As long as this is love..."
But it's not all that easy so maybe I should
Snap her up in a butterfly net Pin her down on a photograph album
I am not worried I've done this sort of thing before
But then I start to think about the consequences
Because I don't get no sleep in a quiet room and...

The time when kindness falls like rain
It washes me away and Anna begins to change my mind
And everytime she sneezes I believe it's love and
Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing

She's talking in her sleep
It's keeping me awake and Anna begins to toss and turn
And every word is nonsense but I understand and
Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing

Her kindness bangs a gong
It's moving me along and Anna begins to fade away
It's chasing me away She disappears and
Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing

 

[Stewart]

I love these two songs also...by Einstürzende Neubauten.

Redukt
Meine Hände, meine Arme, meine Beine, mein Körper, mein Kopf und ich
das Unveränderliche, Unzerstörbare, Selbst, Ich.
Der Mittelpunkt, der Kern, der Zellkern der gesamten menschlichen Zellkultur
Bin ich, ist Ich in jeder Zelle?
Wohl kaum ist "Ich" die Summe des genetischen Materials,
als wäre die Musik im Schaltplan des Radios.
Gibt es Überflüssiges oder Festgewordenes, das sich abstreifen lässt,
das sich abwerfen lässt wie Ballast, wie Sandsäcke aus einem Freiballon?
Schicht für Schicht: Epidermis, Mesenchym und Lederhaut.
Fasern, Muskeln, Sehnen, Fleisch, Kapillare, Venen, Adern, Fettgewebe, Nervenbahnen,
Knochen, Mark, Gebein. Und wo oder was ist übrig?
Das "Ich" behauptet, solange eine Zunge, eine fuchtelnde Hand:
noch "Ich" behaupten kann? Das wenn möglich auch noch kopflos behauptet.
(Wie Cephalophoren, mit einem Hieb, einen Kopf kürzer)
Redukt!
Das was passiert in der Liebe, die Entgrenzung, das Ausufern
oder die Betäubung, bis zu einem Punkt, dem Punkt wo nur noch "etwas" übrigbleibt.
Die taube Nuss (die sich nicht entwickelt hat) überhaupt: Entwickelung,
als wäre etwas aufgewickelt, Ariadnes Faden, der zur vollen Länge ausgestreckt,
verbraucht werden müsste. Immer an der Wand lang, ist todsicher,
der Weg aus dem Garten, dem Irrgarten.
Ich irre zum Zeitvertreib, als würde sich sonst die Zeit auf mich stürzen,
wie ein aasfressendes Tier.
Redukt!
Lassen wir das Ganze einköcheln!
Redukt!
Schauen wir in den Strom der schon Verstorbenen,
die den Zeitfluss heruntertreiben, durchs Delta, zur Mündung,
ins offene, kosmische Meer.
Kommen da noch welche? Haben die Leichen irgendwas zu sagen?
Ausser: Seht! Skandal! Wir sind die, die ihr erst sein werdet!
Wir sind da! Ihr nicht!
But death stays hated to all of human nature
it tears down hope almost to the ground
Redukt!
Das Fundament steht an der falschen Stelle,
man hätte dieses Haus in den Himmel setzen sollen,
damit die Götter sterben, regelmässig und in zeitlich klassischen Proportionen.
Der Goldene Schnitt durch die Kehle eines verehrbaren Himmelskörpers,
der daraufhin sein göttliches Blut in kurzen Stössen
in den himmlischen Sommermorgen, weil es immer Sommer ist, verschiesst,
bis man/frau, ich eingeschlossen sagen kann:
Endlich, unendlich, in Ruhe gelassen, aber beweglich,
frei zu Lärmen, ohne Schuld!
Redukt!

Stella Maris
Ich träum’ ich treff’ dich ganz tief unten
der tiefste Punkt der Erde, Mariannengrabenn, Meeresgrund
Zwischen Nanga Parbat, K2 und Everest,
das Dach der Welt dort geb’ ich dir ein Fest
Wo nichts mehr mir die Sicht verstellt
Wenn du kommst, seh’ ich dich kommen schon vom Rand der Welt
Es gibt nichts Interessantes hier
Die Ruinen von Atlantis nur
Aber keine Spur von dir
Ich glaub’ du kommst nicht mehr

wir haben uns im Traum verpasst

Du träumst mich ich dich
Keine Angst ich weck’ dich nicht
Bevor du noch von selbst erwachst

Über’s Eis in Richtung Nordpol dort wird’ ich dich erwarten
Werde an der Achse steh’n
Aus Feuerland in harter Traumarbeit zum Pol
wird alles dort sich nur um uns noch dreh’n
Der Polarstern direkt über mir
Dies ist der Pol ich warte hier
Nur dich kann ich weit und breit noch nirgends kommen seh’n

Ich wart’ am falschen Pol

Wir haben uns im Traum verpasst

Du träumst mich ich dich
Keine Angst ich finde dich
Bevor du noch von selbst erwachst

bitte, bitte weck’ mich nicht
solang ich träum’ nur gibt es dich...

Du träumst mich ich dich
Keine Angst ich weck’ dich nicht
Bevor du noch von selbst erwachst

Lass’ mich schlafend heuern auf ein Schiff
Kurs: Eldorado, Punt das ist dein Heimatort
Warte an der Küste such’ am Horizont
bis endlich ich sehe deine Segel dort
Doch der Käpt’n ist betrunken
und meistens unter Deck
Ich kann im Traum das Schiff nicht steuern
eine Klippe schlägt es Leck
Im Nordmeer ist es dann gesunken
Ein Eisberg treibt mich weg

Ich glaub’ ich werde lange warten
Punt bleibt unentdeckt

Wir haben uns im Traum verpasst

Du träumst mich ich dich
Keine Angst ich weck’ dich nicht
Bevor du noch von selbst erwachst
Du träumst mich ich dich
Keine Angst ich finde dich
Am Halbschlafittchen pack’ ich dich
und ziehe dich zu mir
Denn du träumst mich, ich dich
ich träum dich, du mich
Wir träumen uns beide wach

 

[MiniBix]

This is one of my favorite songs by Jason Mraz, he's a wicked singer & guitarr player!

Remedy (I Won't Worry)

Jason Mraz

I saw fireworks from the freeway and behind closed eyes I cannot make them go away
Cause you were born on the fourth of july, freedom ring
now something on the surface it stings
that something on the surface it kind of makes me nervous who says that you deserve this
and what kind of god would serve this? We will cure this dirty old disease
if you've got the poison I've got the remedy

the remedy is the experience. It is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that its serious. Which is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how youre gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends because it all amounts to nothing in the end.

I wont worry my life away.
I wont worry my life away.

I heard two men talking on the radio in a cross fire kind of new reality show
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
they were counting down the days to stab the brother in the be right back after this
the unavoidable kiss, where the minty fresh death breath is sure to outlast his catastrophy
dance with me, because if you've got the poison, I've got the remedy

the remedy is the experience. It is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that its serious. Which is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how youre gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends because it all amounts to nothing in the end.

I wont worry my life away.
I wont worry my life away.

When I fall in love I take my time
There's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind
You can turn off the sun but I'm still gonna shine and I'll tell you why
Because

the remedy is the experience. It is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that its serious. Which is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends because it all amounts to nothing in the end.

I wont worry my life away.
I wont worry my life away.
I wont and I wont and I wont [etc.]

 

[Maya]

Yeah, if someone asks me what my favourite song/lyrics in Hindi is I can go on and on about it

Please... go on,
I feel like it's ages since I've heard any Hindi songs.

 

[Crystal]

Obviously it would be something by Morrissey, but I can't choose just one song.

aww. come on, Halo. Is that so difficult to find, ONE?

and I don't mind if you post 1, 3, 5, 8 or 4, 7, 2, 9, or even 6.


Stewart:

What are the other two (which are in Germany-- aren't they) supposed to mean?

Does that Anna one by any chance (I don't have to use this phrase but just thought it was cool to use it here so..) have anything to do with the poem you posted here long time ago?

 

[hay82]

Here's one in danish for you.

Humleridderne - Hellere Se Dig Død
Min krop havde en mening og min hjerne havde en anden,
engens elverpiger dansede mig fra forstanden,
så nu må jeg ty til skoven dybe stille ro,
indtil mine frænder finder de to.
Fråden i min mund gav mig matte tænder.
Sagnet taler sandt, siger de blodige hænder.
Jeg er alene med troldfolk og skovens magi.
Aserne gav mig sygelig, simpel jalousi.
Jeg står ved foden af bakken ved floden,
det var her jeg gav hende bægeret med alruneroden.
Jeg ser hendes smukke smil og øjne for mig,
men skoven er ond nu og natten kommer.

I en uventet time red jeg ind på mit skøde,
lige omkring timen for de levende døde.
Standsede ved gården, bandt hesten til et gærde,
listede over pladsen for at glæde min kære.
Blev rød af raseri, da jeg nåede til huset hen,
de to i min seng, sammen i mit hjem.
Jeg glemte at græde, da sværdet blev trukket,
jeg glemte at smile, da sidste hug var hugget.
Da jeg så dem sammen, svang jeg sværdet til hug,
hendes hals tog imod min vrede med et suk.
Han bukkede om nåde under lykkens forvandling,
det var her jeg skilte hans tanker fra handling.

Mine hænder farver vandet rødt af såre synd.
Finder de de to spildte liv i gårdens brønd?
Kongen sætter sikkert alle mand ind på jagten,
fatter han ikke at kærligheden tog magten.
Men lige nu er jeg alene i den stygge skov,
blandt trælle på flugt og røvere på rov.
Tænk at ende her , jeg søn af en rigmand,
der kunne gøre en masse ting, som kun en rig kan.
Men nu er jeg som og lig de trælle jeg foragter,
her hjælper ingen store ord og vilde fagter.
Alle de ord, ting & tanker, de sprænger mig.
Bare de snart fanger - og hænger mig!

Hellere se dig død end at se dig med en anden!​

 

[Crystal]

I am headache now! Can you please speak in English?

 

[hay82]

Well I wanted to translate it but that's just more work that I want to do right now..
