Thread: Lyrics From a Song

    Default Lyrics From a Song

    I was curious to know if I was the only person who fell in love with a verse in one or a couple of songs. I know there are a couple of songs where the verses really stuck out and get stuck in my head because they are catchy, emotional, clever, witty or enjoyable. Mine are:

    Cause in my head there’s a greyhound station
    Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
    So they may have a chance of finding a place
    where they’re far more suited than here

    It doesn't help that the song is stuck in my head and has been for weeks. But I love the meaning behind that verse.

    I will admit, that song also is good. But for some strange reason, Soul Meets Body sticks out to me more.


    Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
    A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

    Radio songs tend to get a lot of catchy lyrics stuck in my head, but I guess they're engineered for that. A lot of lyrics from the first Coheed and Cambria album have been repeating in my head recently. Like one part of Neverender:

    (I'll be home) In graver mistakes, dear mom and dad, I write you in this letter that states
    (I'll be moving on) When the new days begun, forget your son when he's out on his own

    Death Cab love up in thissss.

    "On the night you left, I came over
    And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders
    Our brand new coats were so flushed and pink
    And I knew your heart I couldn't win
    Because the season's change was a conduit
    And we'd left our love in our summer skin "
    -- Summer Skin // Death Cab for Cutie

    "
    and the oats we sow,
    they could seed on forever with nowhere to grow
    but the heart, we know,
    when it's askin its exact twin it will not be alone "
    --
    Oats We Sow // Gregory and the Hawk

    "What can I compare you to, a favorite pair of shoes?
    Maybe my bright red boots, if they had wings
    Funny how we animate colorful objects saved
    Funny how it's hard to take a love with no sting
    "
    -- Take It From Me // The Weepies


    "And love is the scene I render
    When you catch me wide awake
    And love is the dream you enter
    Though I shake and shake and shake you
    And love is the best endeavor
    Waiting in the lion's mane "
    --
    Lion's Mane // Iron & Wine


    "
    Then I got dressed
    I dressed the kids as well
    The limousine pulled in
    And we piled in

    The doctor he asked which way we were headed
    I said, Sir, let's just go west and he listened obediently,
    Sophie only wants to listen to radio BBC
    Michael sat on my knees and whispered to me
    All about the meanies
    Jacqueline was being such a big girl
    with her cup of tea looking out of the window
    And Barbara
    She looks just like my mom
    Oh my god, Barbara
    She looks so much like my mom"

    "There must be some kinda way out of here"
    Said the joker to the thief
    "There's too much confusion
    I can't get no relief"

    "Businessmen, they, they drink my wine
    Plowmen dig my earth
    None will level on the line
    Nobody of it is worth", hey

    "No reason to get excited"
    The thief, he kindly spoke
    "There are many here among us
    Who feel that life is but a joke"

    "But you and I, we've been through that
    And this is not our fate
    So let us not talk falsely now
    The hour is getting late", hey

    Hey

    All along the watchtower
    Princes kept the view
    While all the women came and went
    Barefoot servants too

    Outside in the cold distance
    A wildcat did growl
    Two riders were approaching
    And the wind began to howl, hey

    All along the watchtower
    All along the watchtower

    I love that song Hooker with a Penis xD


    I met a boy wearing Vans, 501s, and a
    Dope Beastie t, nipple rings, and
    New tattoos that claimed that he
    Was OGT,
    Back in '92,
    From the first EP

    And in between
    Sips of Coke
    He told me that
    He thought
    We were sellin' out,
    Layin' down,
    Suckin' up
    To the man

    Well now I've got some
    Advice for you, little buddy
    Before you point the finger
    You should know that
    I'm the man,

    And if I'm the man,
    Then you're the man, and
    He's the man as well so you can
    Point that smurfin' finger up your ass

    All you know about me is what I've sold you,
    Dumb smurf
    I sold out long before you ever heard my name

    I sold my soul to make a record,
    Dip ,
    And you bought one

    So...Shut up and

    Buy my new record
    Send more money
    smurf you, buddy

    You look at him like you never knew him
    But i know for a fact that you have

    The last time you cried
    Who'd you think was inside?
    Thinkin' that you were
    About to come over
    But I'm tired now of waiting for you
    You never show

    ______________________________________
    She moves like she don't care
    Smooth as silk, cool as air
    Ooh it makes you wanna cry
    She doesn't know your name
    And your heart beats like a subway train
    Ooh it makes you wanna die

    ______________________________________
    Shake the mind
    From the body
    'Cause the body's always tied
    To the ground.

    ______________________________________
    And if I sell my soul,
    I'll take you anywhere you want.
    All my life, I've been right.
    You proved me wrong in just one night.

    ______________________________________
    Il est venu le temps des cathédrales
    Le monde est entré
    Dans un nouveau millénaire
    L'homme a voulu monter vers les étoiles
    Écrire son histoire
    Dans le verre ou dans la pierre

    ______________________________________
    Wish I knew what you were looking for
    Might have known what you would find.

    ______________________________________
    I could feel it go down
    You left the sweetest taste in my mouth
    You're a silver lining the clouds

    ______________________________________
    Oh you can hold her eggs, but your basket has a hole
    You can lie between her legs and go looking for, tell her you're searching for her soul
    You can wait for ages, watch your compost turn to coal
    Time is contagious, everybody's getting old

    ______________________________________
    Do you remember
    A kiss under the moonlight
    When it was summer
    It was love at first sight
    Can you remember
    Cause I feel the same now
    Until the winter
    Will see blooming this love

    ______________________________________
    Before you slip into unconsciousness
    I'd like to have another kiss
    Another flashing chance at bliss
    Another kiss, another kiss

    ______________________________________
    On est bien peu de chose
    Et mon amie la rose
    Est morte ce matin
    La lune cette nuit
    A veillé mon amie
    Moi en rêve j'ai vu
    Eblouissante et nue
    Son âme qui dansait
    Bien au-delà des nues
    Et qui me souriait

    ______________________________________
    I'll hold the nails, girl, if you swing the hammer
    You could call me obsessed
    But I still wish I could see ya
    Sneakin into your backyard
    With these flowers for Ophelia

    ______________________________________
    We spent the whole night talking.
    You said you'd like to see the sun rise.
    But in the gold of morning,
    was nothing that I had not seen in your eyes.

    ______________________________________
    I'm on my feet
    I'm on the floor
    I'm good to go
    All I need is just to hear a song I know
    I wanna always feel like part of this was mine
    I wanna fall in love tonight

    ______________________________________
    and I tried to forget that night and your body
    but you drew it out of me
    and I tried to deny the light in our bodies
    but you drew it out of me
    what ever happened to us!

    ______________________________________
    i change shapes just to hide in this place but i'm still i'm still an animal
    nobody knows it but me when i slip
    I'm still an animal

    ______________________________________
    With a hole in the heart I was forced to ride
    in morning traffic.
    With a golden hand by your fortress side
    but without magic.

    ______________________________________
    I don't care if the sun don't shine
    And I don't care if nothing is mine
    And I don't care if I'm nervous with you
    I'll do my loving in the winter

    ______________________________________
    We eat the night, we drink the time
    Make our dreams come true
    And hungry eyes are passing by
    On streets we call the zoo

    ______________________________________
    Walk with me my little child,
    To the forest of denial,
    Speak with me my only mind,
    Walk with me until the time,
    And make the forest turn to wine,
    You take the legend for a fall,
    You saw the product. . .

    ______________________________________
    I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand
    "I'll love you always" filled my eyes
    I remember the night we walked along the Seine
    Riding on the metro

    ______________________________________
    Close the door
    Leave your fears behind
    Let me give you
    What you're giving me

    ______________________________________
    Slipping sideways, silver stars collide
    And fade away just like our love that died
    And there is nowhere in this universe to hide from you tonight
    I've wrestled with angels all my life
    It's always the halos and the wings that keep you blind
    And if I'd fought with all the strength I held inside
    I wouldn't be out here alone tonight

    ______________________________________
    (What follows) me as the whitest lace of light
    (Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued
    (What follows) has led me to this place
    Where I belong, with all erased
    What follows

    ______________________________________
    By the last breath of the four winds that blow
    I'll have revenge upon Fortunato
    Smile in his face I'll say "Come let us go.
    I've a cask of Amontillado"

    ______________________________________
    "Sadie G. she's crazy, see?"
    That's what the white coats say.
    Now Ms. Susan A. you're losing
    Every opportunity to put us all away.

    ______________________________________
    Do you remember when we used to dance
    And incidence arose from circumstance
    One thing lead to another we were young
    And we would scream together songs unsung

    ______________________________________
    Oh, we want to live forever
    In this mirror see tomorrow
    All the joy and all the sorrow
    We can only hope to share

    ______________________________________
    Dream of a time when the tides ebbing now rise again.
    Then you will know that to die is not really to end.
    Living and dying are both your most intimate friends.

    Under your spell again
    I can't say no to you
    Crave my heart and it's bleeding in your hands
    I can't say no to you

    Shouldn't let you torture me so sweetly
    Cause I can't let go of this dream
    I can't breathe but I feel...
    good enough
    I feel good enough for you

    Drink up sweet decadance
    I can't say no to you
    And I've completely lost myself and I don't mind
    I can't say no to you

    Shouldn't let you conquer me completely
    Now I can't let go of this dream
    Can't believe that I feel

    Good enough
    I feel good enough for you
    It's been such a long time coming
    But I feel good

    And I'm still waiting for the rain to fall
    Pour real life down on me
    Cause I can't hold on to anything

    This good enough
    Am I good enough
    For you to love me too?

    So take care what you ask of me
    Cause I can't say no.

    Good Enough - Evanescence

    I got something to say
    I killed your baby today
    And it doesn't matter much to me
    As long as it's dead

    Well I got something to say
    I raped your mother today
    And it doesn't matter much to me
    As long as she spread

    Sweet lovely death
    I am waiting for your breath
    Come sweet death, one last caress

    Soup :: Blind Melon
    "The clothesline of cold eyes
    Is washing away the face before
    Now tell me what's wrong you see everyone's gone
    You gotta do your best to decorate this dying' day
    This dying' day

    All over a bowl of bitter beans

    And outside way, way up high I got a quarter moon misthanging' over me
    And now, I want that rocking chair outta there
    Cause he's no longer living here
    It's no longer needed here

    All over a bowl of bitter beans

    And I got a corner store and that's all the more
    For me to praise upon the holidays
    And now I'll close my eyes really, really tight
    And make you all go away,
    I'll make you all go all go away

    And I'll pull the trigger and make it all go away
    And I'll make it all go away, I'll make it all go away"


    Push it (not how it's spelt but I have to abide by the swear filter) :: Tool
    "I Saw the gap again today
    While you were begging me to stay
    Take care not to make me enter
    If I do we both may disappear

    Know that I will choke until I swallow...
    Choke this infant here before me.
    What is this but my reflection?
    Who am I to judge or strike you down?

    But you're
    Pushing me, shoving me
    Pushing me, shoving me
    Pushing me, shoving me
    Pushing me, shoving me

    Pushing and shoving me
    Pushing and shoving me
    Pushing and shoving me
    Pushing and shoving me

    You still love me
    You still love me
    But you didn't think, push it on me
    You still love me
    You still love me
    But you didn't think, push it on me

    Rest your trigger on my finger,
    bang my head upon the fault line.
    You better take care not to make me enter.
    'cause if I do we both may disappear.

    But your
    Pushing pushing me
    Pushing pushing me
    Pushing and shoving me
    Pushing and shoving me!

    You still love me
    You still love me
    But you didn't think, push it on me
    You're pushing and shoving me
    pushing and shoving me

    I'm slipping back into the gap again.
    I'm alive when you're touching me,
    Alive when you're shoving me down.

    But I'd trade it all
    For just a little
    Piece of mind.

    Push it on me
    Push it on me
    Push it on me
    Push it on me
    Your pushing and shoving
    And I'm scrambling
    To keep my feet flat on the ground.

    I am somewhere I don't wanna be. Here.
    Push me somewhere I don't wanna be.
    Put me somewhere i don't wanna be.
    Seeing some place I don't wanna see.
    Never wanna see that place again.

    Saw that gap again today
    While you were begging me to stay.
    Managed to push myself away,
    And you, as well...my dear.

    If, when I say I might fade like a sigh if I stay here,
    You minimise my movement anyway,
    I must persuade you another way.

    Pushing and shoving and pushing, shoving me.

    There's no love in fear.

    Staring down the hole again
    Hands are on my back again
    Survival is my only friend
    Terrified of what may come.

    Remember I will always love you,
    As I claw your smurfing throat away.
    It will end no other way.
    It will end no other way."


    3 Libras :: A Perfect Circle
    "Threw you the obvious
    And you flew with it on your back
    A name in your recollection
    Down among a million same

    Difficult not to feel a little bit
    Disappointed and passed over
    When I look right through,
    See you naked but oblivious

    And you don't see me

    But I threw you the obvious
    Just to see if there's more behind the
    Eyes of a fallen angel,
    Eyes of a tragedy

    Here I am expecting just a little bit
    Too much from the wounded
    But I see, see through it all
    See through, see you

    'Cause I threw you the obvious
    To see what occurs behind the
    Eyes of a fallen angel,
    Eyes of a tragedy

    Oh well, oh well
    Apparently nothing,
    Apparently nothing at all

    You don't, you don't
    You don't see me

    You don't, you don't
    You don't see me

    You don't, you don't
    You don't see me

    You don't, you don't
    You don't see me

    You don't see me

    You don't, you don't
    You don't see me at all"

    Just a portion of an old tune:

    When they saw each other smile.
    The Hudson looked just like the Nile.
    The stars all seemed to glisten,
    The clouds stood still to listen.
    They didn't speak for quite a while.

    Then all of a sudden,
    The clouds moved overhead,
    The Nile was just the Hudson,
    And the stars above them fled.


    - Lamplight, 1960.
