    so the cheesy lyrics been done (and this one's been done too but not for a while)
    my favourites would be all of fiona apple and the smiths but my favourite's are:
    "i want your warm but it will only make me colder when it's over"-love ridden, fiona apple
    "baby-i can't help you out, while she's still around" I know, fiona apple
    "this beautiful creature must die a death for no reason, and death for no reason is murder" meat is murder by the smiths (he he...would you know i was a vegetarian!!!)
    "i wanna be your love, lipstick my name cross your mirror" gunshot glitter, jeff buckely
    "i come and stand at every door, but no one hears my silent prayer, i knock and yet remain unseen, for i am dead, for i am dead" i come and stand at every door, this mortal coil

    did you say no this can't happen to me
    did you rush to phone to call
    was there a voice unkind
    at the back of your mind
    saying maybe
    you didn't know him at all

    basically any piece of lyrics michael stipe has ever written, but probably this one the most:

    at my most beautiful
    i count your eyelashes at night
    secretly
    with everyone whisper i love you
    i let you sleep
    i know you're closed-eye watching me
    listening
    i thought i saw a smile

    just fathom that...

    'Ne cesse pas de trembler,
    C'est comme ca que je te reconnais,
    Car il vaut beaucoups mieux pour toi,
    Que tu trembles un peu moins que moi.'
    Les Ecorches, Noir Desir

    /Don't stop trembling,
    It's like that I know its you
    Eventough you'd be better off,
    If you trembled less than I do/
    Scorched Alive from Noir Desir.

    The whole of 'Sweet Transvestite', Rocky Horror Show,

    'I'll lead you back to the start,
    It's a long way, back to my heart,
    It's an arcade, very destructed I am'

    "And if you were with me tonight
    I'd sing to you just one more time
    A song for a heart so big
    That God wouldn't let it live"

    'Hear You Me' by Jimmy Eat World. It just reminds me of a friend that died every time I hear it.

    We should have been dancing like lovers in the movies
    But I fell and cut my head in the snow,
    I wanted to tell you all the ways that I loved you
    But instead I got sick on the train

    what happens when the heart just stops, by the frames. it hits me hard every fúckin time...

    well we've got noone to meet,
    no love we would beseech,
    we only have ourselves to blame,
    for everything.
    there was no answer in the dust,
    now i'm missing you so much,
    but now you're sleeping...
    and i'm leaving.





    every fúckin time.

    if bricks were circular the wind would come in
    and we would all freeze but i would be laughing

    1939 returning


    it's not every evening i go week at the knees
    and get butterflies and i know i'm gonna love her all my life


    mrs playing dead


    and later on you never know the feeling could change you can come on my couch or rest on my range if i take regular strokes and handle with care it could escalate into something devastateling debonair.

    you see

    and if it gets too late,for me to wait
    for you to find you love me, and tell me so
    it;s ok,dont need to say it"

    I see you standin'
    Standin' on your own
    It's such a lonely place for you
    For you to be
    If you need a shoulder
    Or if you need a friend
    I'll be here standing
    Until the bitter end
    No one needs the sorrow
    No one needs the pain
    I hate to see you
    Walking out there
    Out in the rain
    So don't chastise me
    Or think I, I mean you harm
    Of those that take you
    Leave you strung out
    Much too far
    Don't ever leave me
    Say you'll always be there
    All I ever wanted
    Was for you
    To know that I care

    what is that?

    every lyric in "33" by the smashing pumpkins.. also the video is very touching, shot with a normal handheld camera, frame by frame.. gives it a very personal touch. each line in the song corresponds with the piece of film being shown with it. it's nice.

    A song by dead can dance.... fantastically beautiful!

    Don't fade away
    My brown-eyed girl
    Come walk with me
    I'll fill your heart with joy
    And we'll dance through our isolation
    Seeking solace in the wisdom we bestow
    Turning thoughts to the here and everafter
    Consuming fears in our fiery halos

    Say what you mean
    Mean what you say
    I've heard that innocence
    Has led us all astray

    But don't let them make you and break you
    The world is filled with their broken empty
    dreams
    Silence is their only virtue
    Locked away inside their silent screams

    But for now
    Let us dance away
    This starry night
    Filled with the glow of fiery stars
    And with the dawn
    Our sun will rise
    Bringing a symphony of bird cries

    Don't bring me down now
    Let me stay here for awhile
    You know life's too short
    Let me bathe here in your smile
    I'm transcending
    The fall from the garden

    Goodnight


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,287 ✭✭✭thedrowner


    is that on the knock knock album do you know, yurmasyurda?

    yeah fiona apple has really moving lyrics
    anf bjork does too, and she really makes it more moving by the way she sings, its spine tingling.

    need your love so bad by fleetwood mac...nice...

    Lover, You Should've Come Over (J. Buckley)

    looking out the door i see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
    parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
    and maybe i'm too young to keep good love from going wrong
    but tonight you're on my mind so you never know

    broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it
    where are you tonight, child you know how much i need it
    too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run

    sometimes a man gets carried away, when he feels like he should be having his fun
    and much too blind to see the damage he's done
    sometimes a man must awake to find that really, he has no-one

    so i'll wait for you... and i'll burn
    will i ever see your sweet return
    oh will i ever learn

    oh lover, you should've come over
    'cause it's not too late

    lonely is the room, the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in
    burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him
    my body turns and yearns for a sleep that won't ever come

    it's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
    it's never over, all my riches for her smiles when i slept so soft against her
    it's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
    it's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever

    well maybe i'm just too young
    to keep good love from going wrong

    oh... lover, you should've come over
    'cause it's not too late

    well i feel too young to hold on
    and i'm much too old to break free and run
    too deaf, dumb, and blind to see the damage i've done
    sweet lover, you should've come over
    oh, love well i'm waiting for you

    lover, you should've come over
    cause it's not too late
