whats ur fav lyric/lyrics?........

black_wizardd

the lyrics that u like to listen to/chill out to after a ****ty day or maybe when ur just in a good mood and feel like a good tune....whatever reason u have.....some of mine r...

zeppelin - stairway

"And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll."

slayer - mandatory suicide

"holes burn deep in my chest raped by machine gun fire screaming skull sent out to die, livin mandatory suicide"

cyndi lauper (not phil collins stupid brain ) - true colours

"you with those sad eyes dont be discouraged though i realise its hard to take courage in a world full of people u can loose sight of it when the darkness inside u makes u feel so small"

sepultura - the hunt

"We Followed Your Man Back To Your Front Door And We're Waiting For You Outside
'cos Not Everybody Here Is Scared Of You
Not Everybody Passes On The Other Side

No Police, No Summons, No Courts Of Law
No Proper Procedure, No Rules Of War
No Mitigating Circumstance
No Lawyers Fees, No Second Chance

We Could Spent Our Whole Lives Waiting
For Some Thunderbolt To Come
And We Could Spent Our Whole Lives Waiting
For Some Justice To Be Done
Unless We Make Our Own"

i have loads more but im afraid it would just take to long to think of them all....

led zeppelin, slayer, phil collins, sepultura wtf is wrong with that list.

As for me its a tough questiion; probably red House painters 24 or Medicine Bottle
or Billy Bragg - Brickbat

Kali

i didnt even see those other suggestions.. whatever about stairway to heaven.. but phil collins man?

what the hell?

harVee

Was that phil collins one serious?
if so i think it should be removed. i also think phil collins should be removed (from living) for general crimes against humanity.

Excelsior

dave matthews band - crush

TwoShedsJackson

Phil Collins is a blot on humanity - I hate that middle of the road ****** that he churns out. Ooooohh I have written a song about the homeless here in my 2 million pound mansion - like fu<k off.

And didn't Cyndi Lauper do that song in 1986? I think you'll find she did.

black_wizardd

return of the FLOPPY MONSTER...rrraaaaarrrrrr

Shiminay

Picture Phil COllins as Rocky...
Black Wizard knows... If Plastic Memebrane sticks his head into this post - he'll be laughing uncontrollably right now...
But enough of the private jokes.

Anyway, favourite lyrics...

I generally like anything Richie Edwards or Nicky Wire (a.k.a. the lyric writing team of the Manic Street Preachers) are dead good.

All the best,

plastic membrane

ahhh phil, phil, phil..hee hee!!

My Fave lyrics on the other hand, well particular lyrics by Adam Duritz from Counting Crows sometimes feel like they are talking about me, which is very rare, i could give loads of examples but im not gonna. Also the usual REM and Radiohead lyics, are really brilliant, especially Micheal Stipe's, which is pure, bizarre poetry sometimes. My favorite at the moment is Lover, You Should Have Come Over by Jeff Buckley, the lyrics speak of love like no other song ive ever heard..i could go on forever..

Finally, when i listen to Sit On My Face by Monthy Python i feel as if the boys knew me personally.

"Life can be fine if we both 69.."

Damn it Jim, im a doctor, not a Beefy King !

Fidelis

"I was just checking the mail,
get it ? checking the male..."

Just sprung to mind.

And, ahem, Phil Collins is l33t with a capital 3.

Miguel_Sanchez

Castor Troy - you now have my admiration - and being that nobody here knows me I should add that that is a hard thing to get.

CB - Red House Painters - how depressingly brilliant can lyrics get.
"So it's not loaded stadiums and ballparks
And we're not kids on swing sets after dark"

Finally - plastic membrane picked out a truely great song. Lover You Should've Come Over is pure class.

Plastic - you live in Castlebar? Who are you?

Miguel_Sanchez

Those lyrics should have read:

so it's not loaded stadiums or ballparks
and we're not kids on swingsets on the blacktop
and i thought at fifteen that i'd have it down by sixteen
and twenty-four keeps breathing in my face

Kali

lyrics eh.. cant realyl pick a single song.. guess it would have to be Dogs from Animals by Pink Floyd.
I love concept albums where the whole story is told out over the length of the album:
Pink Floyd - the wall animals
and all of Roger Waters - pro's & cons of hitchhiking.

harVee

I used to think my dad was elvis,
I haven't told him that yet,
I haven't told my dad either.

a centuray of elvis by
belle and sebastian

Miguel_Sanchez

"With all the will in the world
Diving for dear life
When we could be diving for pearls "

Brilliant song.

Name it and you win my admiration

TwoShedsJackson

'Shipbuilding' by Elvis Costello.

C B

Actually Jeff they should have read:

---

so it's not loaded stadiums or ballparks
and we're not kids on swingsets on the blacktop
and i thought at fifteen that i'd have it down by sixteen
and twenty-four keeps breathing in my face
like a mad whore
and twenty-four keeps pounding at my door
like a friend you don't want to see
oldness comes with a smile
to every love given child
oldness comes to rile
the youth who dream suicide

---

but i think that the way they're sung matters a lot as well. especially with the Jeff Buckley song.
everybody slagged the phil collins lyrics because we all know they are sung withoout any passion.

'She leaves the camp and stops
And where there used to be some shops...'

The Human League 'Lebanon'

&

'You hit me with a flower
You do it every hour
Oh baby you're so vicious'

Lou Reed - Vicious

Two of my personal favs

the bloodhound gang - ballad of chasey lane.
its so funny
"dear chasey lane
i wrote to explain
im your biggest fan

i just wanted to ask
if i coulde eat yue ass
write back as soon as you can".


it so cool

chorus:"you've had a lot of dick, had alot of dick,
i've had alot of time, had a lot of time,
youve had a lot of dick chasey,
but u aint had mine.

neuro-praxis

"I know a girl who feeds a ghost
She'll make you breakfast
She'll make you toast
She don't use butter
She don't use cheese
She don't use jelly
Or any of these
She uses......Vaseline
Vaseline"

From "She Don't Use Jelly" by the wonderful BenFoldsFive.

You should just hear the next verse...

Miguel_Sanchez

Wasn't that song done by Flaming Lips too?

Gotta love those lips

yellum

Okay, that Sepultura song was a cover by New Model Army.
I like sepultura but lyric wise I would not count them as the best around. REMs lyrics are pure rubbish too.

I was going to suggest Nick Cave. Bit depressing though at times. Jeff Buckley is good too and Elvis Costello. And just for a laugh. Primus - Wynonas Big Brown Beaver. Nice.

Shiminay

Here, dude! I know you!!!

I'm pretty sure you don't know Eamon - Plastic Membranse - he's a mate of mine from college.

All the best,

Smashing Pumpkins lyrics usually tend to be good.

I especially like the line "Lost my innocence to a no good girl" from the song 'An ode to no one'

As long as band doesent mention its own name 10 times a song like Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit then its ok in my book

Anyone know whats the story with the Kid Rock song that totally rips off Metallicas riff from 'Of Wolf and man'?

black_wizardd

yellum.....yeah i know it was a cover....unreal isnt it that N.M.A have'nt made it i mean just listen to the hunt..... and thats only a snippet of the song (as u seem to know )the rest of it is just as good.....love that tune.....have u herd any more of there stuff??

now whats this about the rape and ruin/rip off of the "of wolf and man" riff...tut tut kid rock...u should know that talentless fuppin muppets (like urself) who have the complete nerve to kall themeselves a metal band/"nu-metal band", when in fact they are just a bunch of rappers (limp d**k also komes to mind) spoutin sh!te into a mic at <switch to bogger mode> no fixed rate (aye!)<bogger mode disengaged>....should never touch a song like "of wolf and man" for fear of been casterated and fed alive to the zombie mum from braindead....thats my two cents....

oh yeah! and anything from Vic Chestnutt's "Little" Album,
and Throwing Muses "I Hate My Way"

Winning Hand

Here are a few which i think are pretty cool
The Man Who Sold The World (david bowie)

We passed upon the stair, we spoke in was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

(CHORUS 1)
Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazley stare, we walked a millions hills
I must have died alone, a long long time ago

Who knows not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

One of my fav songs at the moment is this one by guns and roses
14 Years

I try and feel the sunshine
You bring the rain
You try and hold me down
With your complaints
You cry and moan and complain
You whine an tear
Up to my neck in sorrow
The touch you bring
You just don't step inside to
14 years
So hard to keep my own head...
That's what I say
You know...I've been the beggar...
I've played the thief
I was the dog...they all tried to beat

But it's been
14 years of silence
It's been
14 years of pain
It's been
14 years that are gone forever
And I'll never have again

Your stupid girlfriends tell you
That I'm to blame
Well they're all used-up has-beens
Out of the game
This time I'll have the last word
You hear what I say
I tried to see it your way
It won't work today
You just don't step inside to
14 years
So hard to keep my own head...
That's what I say
You know...I've been the dealer...
Hangin' on your street
I was the dog...they all tried to beat

But it's been
14 years of silence
It's been
14 years of pain
It's been
14 years that are gone forever
And I'll never have again

Bull**** and contemplation
Gossip's their trade
If they knew half the real truth
What would they say
Well I'm past the point of concern
It's time to play
These last 4 years of madness
Sure put me straight
Don't get back 14 years
In just one day
So hard to keep my own head
Just go away
You know...just like a hooker she said
Nothin's for free
Oh I tried to see it your way
I tried to see it your way

Figment

Nah, i never really listen to lyrics. They are just not something that catch my attention.

"one day,
You'll know where you are" - (repeated)

-Radiohead (let down)

davoc

really cool this
"emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness, and cleanliness is godliness and god is empty just like meeeeeee"
Zero by the Smashing Pumpkins

and "the man who sold the world" aswell
Winning Hand mentioned it above
