'Criminally Insane' By Slayer:cool:

Okie

I know it's originally a Nine Inch Nails Song.

I know it's a recent song compared to past classics.

But Johnny Cash's "Hurt" is one of the most achingly beautiful songs I've heard.

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way


*Says it all really*

Red Chord by The Frames

"And I'm pulling on the red chord
That pulls you back to me lord
It helps me out
When you're away

When I was in the army
And they called you back to say
And I was resting soft(ly)
In the arms of my woman

And I'm pulling on the red chord
That pulls you back to me lord
And I'm pulling on the red chord
So you're not so far away

And I was at the uni
At the university of
Blind love and black poetry
And it was there I found you
And you were happy like an angel
But for everything you learned
There is something you must let go of

And I'm pulling on the red chord
That pulls you back to me lord
And I'm pulling on the red chord
That pulls you back to me lord

Pulls you back to me lord
Yeah, Pulls you back to me lord
Pulls you back to me lord
Yeah, Pulls you back to me lord"

wow ferdi great choice i was going to pick that aswell.

i'll pick why bother by weezer

I know I should get next to you
you got a look that makes me think you're cool
But it's just sexual attraction
Not somethin' real so I'd rather keep wackin'

Why bother?
it's gonna hurt me
It's gonna kill when you desert me
This happened to me twice before
It won't happen to me anymore

I've known a lot of girls before
What's the harm in knowin' one more?
Maybe we could even get together
Maybe you could break my heart next summer
It's a crying shame I'm all alone
Not with you, nor her, nor anyone
Won't you knock me on my head
Crack it open let me outta here.

I like the line in the coldplay tune - the scientist

it goes....

Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me.

I think it's a grear lyric.

or

Pearl Jam's cover of Last kiss. Listen to the lyrics it's very sad. Especially when the dude's bird is dying. Tragic!

Verve - Bittersweet Symphony

Well I've never prayed but tonight I'm on my knees
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me
I let the melody shine, I let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing into me now...

... the rest of the song too, really.

carbonkid

when you send me a pulse
feel a wave of new love

im dressed in white noise

Travis Tritt - "Tell me i was dreaming"

"Tell me I was dreaming
That you didn't leave me here to cry
You didn't say you don't love me anymore
And it was just my imagination telling lies
Tell me that you didn't say goodbye"


Bon Jovi

"I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you"


I must be getting old.

That song scared me - I was forced to listen to the album while working in a record store. *shivers*

"I f*cked it up
Shot my load
Spewed onto the motorway shoulder
Yes I could have been Special"

"Special / Blown It" - Mansun

Ah yes. Mansun brought us some great lyrics. It was a tough call between that and "The nature of uncarved blocks is how to inscribe what's hard to describe" from Shotgun. Indie craziness...

She was looking like an erotic vulture"

Another set of lyrics I really like...

Got me a movie
I want you to know
Slicing up eyeballs
I want you to know
Girlie so groovy
I want you to know
Don't know about you
But I am un chien Andalusia

I am un chien Andalusia (x3)

Wanna grow
Up to be
Be a debaser

Debaser (x5)

Got me a movie
Ha ha ha hoa
Slicing up eyeballs
Ha ha ha hoa
Girlie so groovie
Ha ha ha hoa
Don't know about you
But I am un chien Andalusia

Black Francis - The Pixies

They explan what it's about here.

Cheez

Tool - H

Without the skin,
Beneath the storm,
Under these tears
The walls came down.

And the snake is drowned and
As I look in his eyes,
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of those times.

I could have cried then.
I should have cried then.

And as the walls come down and
As I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of the times
I have died
and will die.
It's all right.
I don't mind.

I am too connected to you to
Slip away, to fade away.
Days away I still feel you
Touching me, changing me,

And considerately killing me.

A great song Sunday Morning Comin' Down by Kris Kristofferson with great lyrics

"Well I woke up Sunday morning,
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt.
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad,
So I had one more for dessert.
Then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes,
And found my cleanest dirty shirt.
An' I shaved my face and combed my hair,
An' stumbled down the stairs to meet the day."
