Your favorite lyrics of all time...

(post away)

 

What if I make sure people die for a living? can I still post?

 

I'd have to go with a piece out of the Squirrel Nut Zippers' "Hell":


This is a place where eternally
Fire is applied to the body
Teeth are extruded and bones are ground
And baked into cakes that are passed around

 

One of my favorites:

"Did you exchange, a walk-on part in a war for a lead role in a cage?"

 

"And Clenching her fist,
For the people like us,
Who are oppressed
By the figures of beauty."

-Leonard Cohen

 

If god controls the land and disease, keeps a watchful eye on me, if he's really so damn mighty, my problem is that I can't see, well who'd wanna be? Who'd wanna be such a control freak?
-Modest Mouse

 

"... His brain is squirming like a toad....."
- Riders On The Storm, by The Doors.

"Holly came from Miami FLA. Hitchhiked her way across the USA. Plucked her eyebrows on he way, shaved her legs and then he was a she. She said, 'Hey, babe. Take a walk on the wild side"
- Walk On The Wild Side, by Lou Reed (maybe, I forget really)

"...I wish I could drive a knife though my heart, suicide right on stage. Would it be enough for your teenage lust? Would it help to ease the pain? Ease your brain? ....... I know, it's only rock & roll but I like it!"
- ummmm, i dunno whats it called, by The Rolling Stones.

"YYYYEEEEEAAAAAHHH!!! ... Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.."
- Won't Get Fooled Again, by The Who

Also all of "Imagine" by John Lennon, and almost every song by John Lennon for that matter. Wow, I know I forgot the best ones but it's too late to keep this up.

the bird is the word.

 

Our guns
we shot them in the things we said
ah we didn't need no bullets
cos we rely on some words instead
kill someone in argument
outwit them with our brains
and we'd kill ourselves laughing
at the funny things we'd say
-Cat Empire

 

I got something to say, I killed your baby today. doesn't matter much to me, as long as its dead.

i agree

 

"Tear down the wall!"
The Trial, Pink Floyd

"For once in my life I've got somethin' to say, I wanna say it now, but now is today..."
If the kids are United, Sham 69

"Money, so they say, is the root of all evil today. But if you ask for some you'll find that their not giving any away."
Money, Pink Floyd

And all of "rock n' roll suicide" by David Bowie

 

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'

from 'the times they are a changin' by bob dylan

come on mothers throughout the land
pack your boys off to vietnam
come on fathers dont hesitate
send him off before its too late
you can be the first one on your block
to have your boy come home in a box

from the 'i-feel-like-im-fixin-to-die rag' by country joe and the fish

 

[size=+1]"Dreamer" - Ozzy Osborne [/size]

Gazing through the window at the world outside
Wondering if mother earth will survive
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her, sometime

After all there's just the two of us
And here we are still fighting for our lives
Watching all of history repeat itself, time after time

I'm just a dreamer, I dream my life away
I'm just a dreamer, who dreams of better days

I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
I'm hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
A better place for those who will come after us this time

I'm just a dreamer, I dream my life away, oh yeah
I'm just a dreamer, who dreams of better days

Your higher power may be God or Jesus Christ
It doesn't really matter much to me
Without each other's help there ain't no hope for us
I'm living in a dream, a fantasy
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

If only we could just find serenity
It would be nice if we could live as one
When will all this anger, hate and bigotry be gone?

I'm just a dreamer, I dream my life away, today
I'm just a dreamer, who dreams of better days, OK
I'm just a dreamer, who's searching for the way, today
I'm just a dreamer, dreaming my life away
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

What, have they done to its eyes?!

they're sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it's better than drinking alone

 

"Think I'm gonna masturbate, masturbate, MASTURBATE!! Nothing but sweat inside my hand..."

--Masturbate by Mindless Self Indulgence
Hehe..actually j/k about that one...

Modest Mouse is great though, and I agree with an earlier poster on "Bukowski". Some other good Modest is:

"Travelling swallowing Dramamine, feelin' spaced breathing out listerine..." and pretty much that whole song.
- Dramamine by modest

"As life gets longer, awful feels softer and it feels pretty soft to me...and if it takes shit to make bliss well I feel pretty blissfully..."
-The view by modest

 

There's a passion in being alone ,A grace in a loveless time
There's no new cross, there's no new sign
Only the sun and the changing tide

 

I love the first to verses of the Nick Cave song 'Sweetheart Come'

"Come over here, babe
It ain't that bad
I don't claim to understand
The troubles that you've had
But the dogs you say they fed you to
Lay their muzzles in your lap
And the lions that they led you to
Lie down and take a nap
The ones you fear are wind and air
And I love you without measure
It seems we can be happy now
Be it better late than never

The burdens that you carry now
Are not of your creation
So let's not weep for their evil deeds
But for their lack of imagination
Today's the time for courage, babe
Tomorrow can be for forgiving
And if he touches you again with his stupid hands
His life won't be worth living"

 

"Dumb"
My heart is broke,
I have some glue,
Help me inhale,
I'll mend it with you.
-Nirvana

"Rape Me"
Rape me
Rape me my friend
Rape me
Rape me again

I'm not the only one...that
I'm not the only one...that
I'm not the only one...that
I'm not the only one...that

Hate me
Do it and do it again
Waste me
Rape me my friend

I'm not the only one...that
I'm not the only one...that
I'm not the only one...that
I'm not the only one...that

My favorite inside source
I kiss your open sores
I appreciate your concern
You'll always stink and burn

Rape me
Rape me my friend
Rape me
Rape me again

I'm not the only one...that
I'm not the only one...that
I'm not the only one...that
I'm not the only one...that

Rape me Rape me
Rape me Rape me
Rape me Rape me
Rape me Rape me
Rape me Rape me
Rape me Rape me
Rape me Rape me
Rape me Rape me

Rape me.....

-Nirvana (this is my favorite song in the whole world, simple lyrics but has more meaning than any song ever could)
