Favorite Lyrics

I saw this on another forum so id nicked it lol
post your favorite lyrics or poems :)
ill start with my favorite ever song ~ I am the Walrus - The Beatles

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I'm crying.

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody tuesday.
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.

Mister city policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row.
See how they fly like lucy in the sky, see how they run.
I'm crying, i'm crying.
I'm crying, i'm crying.

Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye.
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.

Sitting in an english garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don't come, you get a tan
From standing in the english rain.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob.

Expert textpert choking smokers,
Don't you think the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty,
See how they snied.
I'm crying.

Semolina pilchard, climbing up the eiffel tower.
Elementary penguin singing hari krishna.
Man, you should have seen them kicking edgar allan poe.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob.
Goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob g'goo.

This one is profound:

Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby.


The Carpenters, Superstar

Christina Aguilera~ The Right Man.... this song really hits home for me

So many years have gone by
Always strong, tried not to cry
Never felt like I needed any man
To comfort me in life
But I'm all made up today
A veil upon my face
But no father stands beside me
To give his bride away

Well I'm standing in the chapel
Wearing my white dress
I have waited for this moment
With tears of happiness
Here I leave behind my past
By taking the chance
I've finally found the right man

Thoughts racing fast through my mind
As I'm gazing down the aisle
That my future will mend the memories
Torn between father and child

My emotions overload
'Cause there is no hand to hold
There's no shoulder here to lean on
I'm walking all on my own

Here I go

Now I'm standing at four corners
To have and to hold
Now my love, you stand beside me
To walk life's winding road
And I owe it all to you
For taking the chance
You've shown me there's a right man
'Cause I never knew a right man

Well I'm standing in the chapel
Ready to confess
That I've waited for this moment
With tears of happiness
Now I leave behind my past
By taking the chance

Ohh

Well I'm standing at four corners
To have and to hold
Now my love, you stand beside me
To walk life's winding road
And I owe it all to you
For taking the chance

And one day my little girl
Will reach out her hand
She'll know I found the right man

Sick Puppies--- All the same.

I don't mind where you come from
As long as you come to me
I don't like illusions I can't see
Them clearly

I don't care no I wouldn't dare
To fix the twist in you
You've shown me eventually
What you'll do

I don't mind...
I don't care...
As long as you're here

Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same

Hours slide and days go by
Till you decide to come
And in between it always seems too long
All of a sudden

And I have the skill, yeah I have the will
To breathe you in while I can
However long you stay
Is all that I am

I don't mind...
I don't care...
As long as you're here

Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's always the same

Wrong or right
Black or white
If I close my eyes
It's all the same

In my life
The compromise
I close my eyes
It's all the same

Go ahead say it you're leaving
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same

Radiohead. My iron lung, just a verse tho but very profound indeed


Suck, suck your teenage thumb
Toilet trained and dumb
When the power runs out
We'll just hum


Classic stuff!!

Morrissey: "And he stole from the rich; and the poor; and the not very rich.. and the very poor.. and he stole hearts away.."

Depeche Mode: "Never again, was what you swore.. the time before.."

Geez I can think of so many.. I could type forever..

Blind Melon - Change

I dont feel the suns comin out today
Its staying in, its gonna find another way.
As I sit here in this misery, I dont
Think Ill ever see the sun from here.

And oh as I fade away,
They'll all look at me and say, and they'll say,
Hey look at him! Ill never live that way.
But thats okay
They're just afraid to change.

When you feel your life ain't worth living
You've got to stand up and
Take a look around you then a look way up to the sky.
And when your deepest thoughts are broken,
Keep on dreaming boy, cause when you stop dreamin it's time to die.

And as we all play parts of tomorrow,
Some ways will work and other ways we'll play.
But I know we all can't stay here forever,
So I want to write my words on the face of today.
And then they'll paint it

And oh as I fade away,
They'll all look at me and they'll say,
Hey look at him and where he is these days.
When life is hard, you have to change.

"You're Wrong" - NoFX

You're wrong about virtues of Christianity
And you're wrong if you agree with Sean Hannity
If you think that pride is about nationality, you're wrong

You're wrong when you imprison people turning tricks
And you're wrong about trickle down economics
If you think that punk rock doesn't mix with politics, you're wrong

You're wrong for hating queers and eating steers
If you kill for the thrill of the hunt
You're wrong 'bout wearing fur and not hating Ann Coulter
Cause she's a c#@ted c#!t

You're wrong if you celebrate Columbus Day
And You're wrong if you think there will be a Judgement Day
If you're a charter member of the NRA, you're wrong

You're wrong if you support capital punishment
And you're wrong if you don't question your government
If you think her reproductive rights are inconsequent, you're wrong

You're wrong fighting Jihad, your blind faith in God
Your religions are all flawed,
You're wrong about drug use, when its not abuse
I hope you never reproduce

You're getting high on the downlow
A victim of Cointelpro
You're wrong and will probably never know

One Cup of Coffee/Judge Not

Original songs by Bob Marley, cover mix by Sublime.

I got the money, like the lawyer said to do.
But it can't replace the heartache I caused you.
Oh tomorrow I'll be leaving, I know.
But, one cup of coffee and then I'll go.

I got the money, like the lawyer said to do.
But it can't replace the heartache I caused you.
Oh tomorrow I'll be leaving, I loved.
But, one cup of coffee and then I'm gone.

One cup.
Before you fool yourself.
Judge not.
Or you're not ready for judgment.

Oh the road to life is rocky,
And you may stumble too.
But as you point you finger,
someone else is judging you.

Judge not.
Before you judge yourself.
Judge not.
Or you're not ready for judgment.

The road to life is rocky,
And you may stumble too.
So while your laughing at me,
Someone else is judging you.

http://static.boomp3.com/player.swf?id=46857f0a8975 here's a listen (sorry no downloads ;)). The song was never released on a Sublime album.

ooh Foxy Lady
Foxy, Foxy

Now-a I see you come down on the scene

:rockon:

So many, I could type forever. These are at the top.

Expect the worse, you bleeding heart, but kill me first
Before it starts, yes my c*** is getting hard,
We are born different after all
Invite mayhem, produce weapons, shoot out, burn down
No CNN or media now


It's digging time again, you're nurturing the weakest trend
Those with the heart and the brain to get past this
Can spot a pathetic without even asking
F*** your magazine, and f*** the long dead plastic scene
Pierce a new hole, if Hell was "in" you'd give your soul
Buy it at a store, from MTV to on the floor
You look just like a star, it's proof you don't know who you are
It's bulls*** time again, you'll save the world within your trend
Politically relieved, you're product sold and well received
The right words spoken gold, if I was God you'd sell your soul


That final day has come to dawn I'm off to no-mans land
Into the barbed wire, into the smoke Where ones' dreams turn to sand
I look to the day when I'm in your arms After the pain and misery of war
When I look in your eyes and see your smile I know what I've been fighting for
I'm off to the front, you must not cry
I'd die a thousand deaths before I'd live a lie
Your love and trust in me is all I'd ever known
Forget me not, because one day I'm coming home
Shattered dreams lay all around me Yet my faith is strong
To see the future of you and me Keeps me carrying on
You're in my thoughts day and night When I'm asleep you're in my dreams
You're my sanity in this world of madness That's filled with cries and screams
The train keeps on rolling To where many before me have fell
For the blood and the glory and the sacrifice Of a generation fighting in hell
May I be brave as those before me Staring the shadow of death in the eye
With passion and valor I'll stare in his face For I'm not afraid to die


One day we all will die, a cliched fact of life.
Force fed to make us heed. Inbred to sponge our bleed.
Every warning, a leaking rubber,
A poison apple for mingled blood.
Too young for ones delusion, the lifestyle cost
Venereal mother embrace the loss.


he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
for $43 dollars my friend lost his life
I'd love to spit some Beechnut in that dude's eye
shoot him with my old 45 and a country boy can survive


Stiffer stipulations attached to each sentence
Budget cutbacks but increased police presence
And even if you get out of prison still livin
join the other five million under state supervision
This is business, no faces just lines and statistics
from your phone, your zip code, to S-S-I digits
Crack mothers, crack babies and AIDS patients
Young bloods can't spell but they could rock you in PlayStation
This new math is whippin motherf*****s ass
You wanna know how to rhyme you better learn how to add
It's mathematics


Hip Hop is prosecution evidence
The out of court settlement
Ad space for liquor
Sick without benefits
Luxury tenements choking the skyline
It's low life getting tree-top high
Here there's a back water remedy
Bitter intent to memory
A class E felony
Facing the death penalty
Stimulant and sedative, original repetitive
Violently competitive, a school unacredited
The break beats you get broken with
on time and inappropriate
Hip Hop went from selling crack to smoking it


The battered knight stood upon the hill
He catches his breath for a moment while everything is still
He's battled for days, he knows he hasn't much left
He knows his end is coming, yet he'll die with no regrets
Against the injustices of his land
He'll see the reigning guard die by his hand
If he fails at least he dies trying
For his ideals it was worth dying
The farmer stood beside the knight
Armed with a pitchfork and a scythe
He didn't want to pay his taxes anymore
He was sick of seeing the rich feed off the poor
The collectors came and tried to rob him blind
He refused to pay his taxes, they called it a crime
He ran them off, sent them penniless without a thing
He was the first man not to pay the king
It's the last act of defiance
A union against the king and the crown
Side by side they would die together
United together to bring the system down
Together in unison they marched on the king
With a roar outlawed songs they would sing
The revolt is in motion, they have to be brave
For they'd rather die as free men than to live as slaves


One thousand years of forgotten glory
One thousand sins we shall not forget
One thousand heroes no longer forgotten
One thousand swords unsheathed for your death
We fear not death, for it is our ally
We fear not hate, for it is our friend
We fear not your gods, for they have no power
And we fear not you, for you shall die

Do not stand at my grave and weep

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.


this is a very heartwarming tearjerking peom i only recently discovered after a friend of mine at school died and at the momourial they read out this peom and it symbolized so much of what Pares stood for in life i have just remembered it.

sorry for going on but she was a great friend and meant a lot to me

god bless Pares Forever Fifteen

For me every song that ever really got me in the gut was a country song. Funny since I was raised country but for so many years thought it was dumb and behind the times. I guess one day it just hit me that those country songs were the songs of my life and I proudly came back home to country. I'd use up far too much room listing all those songs that mean so much to me.

In the end though, the ultimate song, the one that touches me most and the one I want playing me into the angels arms is this wonderful song.

Amazing Grace


Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

The world shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun refuse to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Shall be forever mine.

When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun.

"Millstone" by Brand New (Jessey Lacey)

I used to be such a burning example,
I used to be so original.
I used to care, I was being cared for.
Made sure I showed it to those that I love.

I used to sleep without a single stir,
'Cause I was about my father's work.

Well take me out tonight,
This ship of fools I'm on will sink.
I'm my own stone around my neck,
{If you'd} be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

I used to pray like God was listening.
I used to make my parents proud.
I was the glue that kept my friends together,
Now they don't talk and we don't go out.

I used to know the name of every person I'd kissed.
Now I've made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it.

Well take me out tonight,
This ship of fools I'm on will sink.
I'm my own stone around my neck,
{If you'd} be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

Throw me that lifeline,
This ship of fools I'm on will sink.
I'm my own stone around my neck
{If you'd} be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

"They never hit their brakes..."
"There was no time to see..."
"He just ran out in the street..."
"Does anybody know his name?"
"I think I recognize him..."
"He sure as hell paid for that mistake..."

Woah.

So take me out tonight.
This ship of fools I'm on will sink.
I'm my own stone around my neck.
{If you'd} be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

Well save my life tonight.
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
I'm my own stone around my neck
{If you'd} be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

"Some Red Handed Sleight of Hand" by Cursive

And now, we proudly present
songs perverse and songs of lament.
A couple of hymns of confession,
and songs that recognize our sick obsessions.
Sing along- I'm on the ugly organ again.
Sing along- I'm on the ugly organ, so lets begin.
There's no use to keep a secret,
everything I hide ends up in lyrics...
so read on- accuse me when you're done-
if it sounds like I did you wrong.

Our father, who art in heaven,
save me from this wreck I'm about to drown in.
Didn't I learn anything counting out
my sins on rosary beads?
The reverend plays on the ugly organ;
he spews out his sweet ad salty sermon
on the audience.

...So why do I think I'm any different?

I've been making money off my indifference.
We all pass the hat around,
'This is my body', this is the blood I found
on my hands after I wrote this album.
Play it off as stigmata for crossover fans...
some red handed sleight of hand.

Woah oh.




SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many more.

Trace Adkins ---- Arlington

I never thought that this is where I'd settle down,
I thought I'd die an old man back in my hometown,
They gave me this plot of land, me and some other men, for a job well done,
There's a big white house sits on a hill just up the road,
The man inside he cried the day they brought me home,
They folded up a flag and told my mom and dad, we're proud of your son

[Chorus:]
And I'm proud to be on this peaceful piece of property,
I'm on sacred ground and I'm in the best of company,
I'm thankful for those thankful for the things I've done,
I can rest in peace, I'm one of the chosen ones, I made it to Arlington

I remember daddy brought me here when I was eight,
We searched all day to find out where my granddad lay,
And when we finally found that cross,
He said, "son this is what it cost to keep us free" Now here I am,
A thousand stones away from him,
He recognized me on the first day I came in,
And it gave me a chill when he clicked his heels, and saluted me.

[Repeat Chorus]

And everytime I hear twenty-one guns,
I know they brought another hero home to us

We're thankful for those thankful for the things we've done,
We can rest in peace, 'cause we are the chosen ones,
We made it to arlington, yea dust to dust,
Don't cry for us, we made it to arlington

The sky is deep, the sky is dark,
The light of stars is so damn stark.

When I look up, I fill with fear.
If all we have is what lies here,
this lonely world, this troubled place,
then cold dead stars and empty space...

Well, I see no reason to persevere,
no reason to laugh or shed a tear,
no reason to sleep or ever to wake,
no promises to keep, and none to make.

And so at night I still raise my eyes
to study the clear but mysterious skies--
that arch above us, as cold as stone.
Are you there, God? Are we alone?

-THE BOOK OF COUNTED SORROWS

A good friend of mine once mis-quoted the following, and everytime I think of it I crack up... "When you laugh the world laughs WITH you, when you cry the world laughs AT you.

While I'm on the subject...
Q, What do you get when you cross 50 pigs with 50 deer?
A, A hundred sows and bucks!!!

The Little Things Give you Away by Linkin Park (this song was dedicated to the victims of hurricane katrina and it gets to me everytime)

Water gray, through the windows, up the stairs
Chilling rain, like an ocean everywhere

Don't want to reach for me, do you?
I mean nothing to you, the little things give you away

And now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under water, I do

Hope decays
Generations disappear
Washed away,
As a nation simply stares

Don't want to reach for me, do you?
I mean nothing to you, the little things give you away
But now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under water, I do

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet underground,
Now I do...

Oh, oh...
The little things give you away, the little things give you away
(All you've ever wanted was someone to truly look up to you)

Skinned by Blind Melon

I'll make a shoehorn outta your skin
I'll make a lampshade of durable skin
And oh, don't you know that I'm always feelin' able
When I'm sittin' home and I'm carving out your navel

When will I realize that this skin I'm in
Hey, it isn't mine
And when will the kill be too much meat for me to hide on

Hey, I could really use a couple of hands
To complete one hell of a plant stand
Oh, don't you know that I'm caught here in the middle
Making rib cages into coffee tables

And when I realize that this skin I'm in
Hey, it isn't mine
And when will the thrill be too much meat for me to find anymore

Oh, because you know I can't hide
But oh how hard I try
But this is just the shape I'm in, oh yeah
And though you know I can't hide
But oh how hard I try
But this is just the shape I'm in

That's kinda creepy for a Blind Melon song. Slayer has a song with similar lyrics called Dead Skin Mask. It's about the Wisconsin psycho Ed Gein.

Graze the skin with my finger tips
The brush of dead cold flesh pacifies the means
Provocative images delicate features so smooth
A pleasant fragrance in the light of the moon
Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes
Lose all mind control rationale declines
Empty eyes enslave the creations
Of placid faces and lifeless pageants
In the depths of a mind insane
Fantasy and reality are the same
Dance with the dead in my dreams
Listen to their hallowed screams
The dead have taken my soul
Temptation's lost all control

I smell a Koontz fan! ;)

Wasted Time by The Eagles


Well baby there you stand
With your little head down in your hand
Oh my God you can't believe it's happening again
Your baby's gone and you all alone
And it looks like the end

Your back out on the streets
And your trying to remember
How do you start it over
You don't know if you can
You don't care much for a strangers touch
But you can't hold your man

Never thought you'd be alone
This far down the line
But don't know what's been on your mind
Your afraid it's all been wasted time

All the leaves have got you thinking
About the first time you fell...fell
You couldn't love the boy too much
You just loved the boy to well...well

So you live from day to day
And you dream about tomorrow
And the hours go by like minutes
And the shadows come to stay
So you take a little something
To make them go away

And I could have done so many things baby
If I could only stop my mind
From wondering what I left behind
And from worrying about this wasted time


And the love has come and gone
And the years keep rushing on

I remember what you told me
Before you went out on your own
Sometimes to keep it together
You have to leave it alone

So you can get on with your search baby
And I can get on with mine
And maybe someday we will find
That it wasn't really wasted time


:cool:

I almost forgot the lyrics that helped motivate me during my teen years.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time has gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
