Music - Fav Lyrics
 

Hey, heres one to get us all knowing people each other a bit better (or not, up to you)

Whats your favorite song lyrics?

Dosnt have to be a reason, but if there is and you wanna share it, go ahead!

Here's mine:

From Iron Maiden's Hallow'd Be Thy Name:

As I walk my life drifts before me,
Though the end is near I'm not sorry.
Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away.

Mark my words believe my soul lives on.
Don't worry now that I have gone.
I've gone beyond to see the truth.

When you know that your time is close at hand.
Maybe then you'll begin to understand,
Life down here is just a strange illusion

Hallowed Be Thy Name


When sung live by bruce dickinson, with the might of the band behind him its awsome, trust.

Matt

Swordfishtrombone, by Tom Waits.

"He got twenty years for lovin’ her from some Oklahoma governor"... I mean, how can I resist.

"And a pair of legs that opened up like butterfly wings "

So it only happens in warm weather?

Matt

How about this then?

When I was a lad I served a term
As office boy to an Attorney's firm.
I cleaned the windows and I swept the floor,
And I polished up the handle of the big front door.
I polished up that handle so carefullee
That now I am the Ruler of the Queen's Navee!

Something someone said earlier today set me off ... :oops:

well you tried it just for once found it all right for kicks.
but now you found out that it's a habit that sticks.
and you're an orgasm addict.
you're an orgasm addict.
sneaking in the back door with dirty magazines.
now your mother wants to know what all those stains on your jeans.
and you're an orgasm addict.
you're an orgasm addict.
uh huh, uh huh, uhhhhh, uhhhhh etc, etc


:D

The places Mr Waits goes in his songs... I mean, if he is not playing pool with a midget in Singapore, he is looking for a hooker with big tits and bad teeth, or talking about rubbing sailors down with gasoline, till their arms are hard and lean.

Absolutely outstanding stuff altogether

Read my signature..... :D

Otherwise:

The north star always guides me, When winter skies are gray
And I wait for the sun when all ate one
I shall not betray
Calling at me, I'm waiting when all are led astray

Carry On my sons forever, Carry On when I am gone
Carry On for when the day is long
Forever Carry On
For as long as we together, Then forever Carry On

Darkness all around us, We don't close our eyes
No one's gonna ground us, We were born to fly
Comin' at us no stopping, Born to amplify

Carry On my sons forever, Carry On when I am gone
Carry On for when the day is long
Forever Carry On
For as long as we together, Then forever Carry On

Yea, be my brother, Fight to stay alive
All the world can't change us, With all their burned-out jive
Come get us now we're waiting
We won't ride and hide

Carry On my sons forever, Carry On when I am gone
Carry On for when the day is long
Forever Carry On
For as long as we together, Then forever Carry On

Now we're all together, Let's sing a fighting song
One hundred thousand riders, We can't all be wrong
Comin' at us no stopping
Always Carry On

Carry On my sons forever, Carry On when I am gone
Carry On for when the day is long
Forever Carry On
For as long as we together, Then forever Carry On

Also young Jarvis:

You see you should take me seriously.
Very seriously indeed.
Cause I've been sleeping with your wife for the past sixteen weeks,
smoking your cigarettes,
drinking your brandy,
messing up the bed that you chose together.
And in all that time I just wanted you to come home unexpectedly one afternoon,
and catch us at it in the front room.


Again, exceptionally high levels of filthyness.

Awsome stuff

Has to be from the song Taking Everything from Bob Mould's album Last Dog & Pony Show, just cos the last line is a little odd:

"This fever on my mind/I'm burning down inside
My luck may never change/Or so it seems that way
I know in seven years/This curse will disappear
Where has my ladder gone?/I feel like I've been robbed"

ha ha. I try dude.

Ok, here's another one from me:

Megadeth, wake Up Dead (we've been here lads)

I sneak in my own house
It's four in the morning
I had too much to drink
Said I was out with the boys
I creep in my bedroom
I slip into bed,
I know if I wake her,
I'll wake up dead

:lol:

Halfway down the stairs
There's a stair where I sit.

The unmistakable brilliance of Orville the duck! :P

I think that you will find it was Kevin, Kermit the frogs' little nephew :D

Fav lyrics....easy

Stop! Hammertime :D

Viney...You are indeed a font of information sir. :wink: Many thanks for the correction. Wouldn't want to deprive young Kevin from his adulation would we? :P

I'll dig it out and MP3 it up for ya ;)

You got a beautiful chin,
You got beautiful skin,
You got a beautiful face,
You got taste,
You got beautiful eyes,
You got beautiful thighs,
You got a lot without a doubt,
But I think about blowin' you out...

Cause you won't stop talkin',
Why don't you give it a rest?,
You got more rabbit than Salisbury's,
It's time you got it off your chest,
Now you is just the kinda girl to break my heart in two,
I knew right off when i first set my eyes on you,
But how was I to know you fed my ear-holes too?,
With your excessive talking,
Your becoming a pest...

Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit...

:wink: :lol: \:D/

:winner:

:lol:

Ooh... Loads really. The first that comes to mind are the Wildhearts from Bad Time To Be Having A Bad Time:
"Kiss me in the dark,
I don't want to see you cry"

Officially the saddest lyric I've ever heard.

Or, Disconnector by Hell is for Heroes:

"I've been looking for the questions to the answers
I've been fed a banquet of lies
digested with a smile

i'm a captive in a hole, i'm gracious in defeat
take back the mic turn off the light i stole

you're the captain of your soul, the master of your fate
i dreamt of being like you, so pure, so clean, so whole.
i just ned one more chance, to rinse my eyes
and wash away my blindness
wash away my sadness
wash away my dependence
wash away my fear

so i can find myself protection
when you put me down
so i can deal with disconnection
when i hit the ground
get resistance to the infection
that you spread around

so I can declare my independence

it's been so long so high
this wall i've climbed
so green so blue
so real, surreal
I'm home, i'm dry, i'm free
and I wash my hands of the future"

I love the whole thing, buyt that last line... Brilliant.


I saw Therapy cover that one night. It worked better than you'd think.

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Mattsv
Happy birthday to you

Followed by presents, cake and beer :lol:

I'd stopped drinking for 6 months then went on holiday with the lads.... this song brings back the memories of being 'back on the juice.....'


THE DOGS D'AMOUR. BACK ON THE JUICE>

I've been drinkin' the devil's milk
Smokin' memories made of silk
I grew up lived my life and died
I've been mentally crucified
I live in a pit of snakes
I wake up petrified with the shakes

I'm back, back on the juice
In the world of self abuse

Hung out with Jesus for a couple of days
Guess he could not dig my ways
I went to the devils inn
It's the only place I don't have to pay to get in

Back, back on the juice

So I ain't the best lookin' of guys
I'm a sucker when I drink, a sucker when I lie
I live in a pit of snakes
But you guys are petrified, shake!

Back on the juice

Not my favourite song of all time, but definitely in my top ten. The weirdest lyrics I've ever heard!

Madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder feelin' kinda older I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing the calliope crashed to the ground
Some all-hot half-shot was headin' for the hot spot snappin' his fingers clappin' his hands
And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a lover's knot with a whatnot in her hand
And now young Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers daddy's within earshot save the buckshot turn up the band

And she was blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tight, but she'll make it alright

Some brimstone baritone anti-cyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
He says: "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone, that's where they expect it least"
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner all alone watchin' the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone to remind him of the feeling of romance

Yeah he was blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
He got down but she never got tight, but he's gonna make it tonight

Some silicone sister with her manager's mister told me I got what it takes
She said I'll turn you on sonny, to something strong if you play that song with the funky break,
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe to go outside
And little Early-Pearly came in by her curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride,
Oh, some hazard from Harvard was skunked on beer playin' backyard bombardier
Yes and Scotland Yard was trying hard, they sent a dude with a calling card,
he said, do what you like, but don't do it here
Well I jumped up, turnedaround, spit in the air, fell on the ground
Asked him which was the way back home
He said take a right at the light, keep goin' straight until night, and then boy, you're on your own

And now in Zanzibar a shootin' star was ridin' in a side car hummin' a lunar tune
Yes, and the avatar said blow the bar but first remove the cookie jar we're gonna teach those boys to laugh too soon

And some kidnapped handicap was complainin' that he caught the clap from some mousetrap he bought last night,

Well I unsnapped his skull cap and between his ears I saw
a gap but figured he'd be all right

He was just blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the sun
Oh but mama that's where the fun is

Ooh, the Dogs. Does it count as a claim to fame that I once called an ambulance for Tyla after he fell down some stairs while very ****ed?

Eddie & the Hotrods - Do Anything You Wanna Do:

Gonna break out of this city
Leave the people here behind
Searching for adventure
Is the type of life to find
Tired of doing day-jobs
With no thanks for what I do
I know I must be someone
Now I´ll gonna find out who

Why don´t you ask them
What they expect from you?
Why don´t you tell them
What you are gonna do?
You get so lonely
Maybe it´s better that way
And ain´t you only
You got something to say

Do anything you wanna do
Do anything you wanna do

Don´t need no politician
Tell me things I ought to be
Neither no optician
Tell me what I ought to see
No one tells you nothing
Even when you know they know
They tell you what you should be
They don´t like to see you grow

Why don´t you ask them
What they expect from you?
Why don´t you tell them
What you are gonna do?
You get so lonely
Maybe it´s better that way
And ain´t you only
You got something to say

Do anything you wanna do
Do anything you wanna do

Gonna break out of this city
Leave the people here behind
Searching for adventure
Is the type of life you´ll find
Tired of doing day-jobs
With no thanks for what I do
I know I must be someone
Now I´ll gonna find out who

Why don´t you ask them
What they expect from you?
Why don´t you tell them
What you are gonna do?
You get so lonely
Maybe it´s better that way
And ain´t you only
You got something to say

Do anything you wanna do
Do anything you wanna do

Reminds me of my very rebeleous teenage years :oops:

.

Great song that... The Almighty used to cover it, very good indeed.

Yeah, my other fav from that time is Reward from Teardrop Explodes....
