Not sure if this has been done before ...

Post your favorite song lyrics.

I'll start with

"In My Life" - The Beatles

There are places I'll remember
In my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone, and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares to you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new

And I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know all often stop and think about them
In my life I've loved You More

And I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know all often stop and think about them
In my life I've loved You More

In my life
I've loved you more

[Rye]

I have many favourite song lyrics, but one is:

Evanescence - Field of Innocence

I still remember the world
From the eyes of a child
Slowly those feelings
Were clouded by what I know now

Where has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
I want to go back to
Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all

I still remember the sun
Always warm on my back
Somehow it seems colder now

Where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
I want to go back to
Believing in everything

[Zeldy]

This song is sung so beautifully..

Life 705 by The Rasmus
What does 705 in your song Life 705 mean?
"the song is about death. All life is organized after numbers and 705 is one of them."

It is preventing tomorrow it's so tough
It is a fanning horror it's so rough
It's not a pacifist
It's not a pacifist
It's not complaining or praising it's not fair
It is pretending to mind it doesn't care
It's not a pacifist
It's not a pacifist
Would you be?

It's taking your time
It doesn't matter what you feel
It's harder than steel
One day we'll find a reason why
I'm not sorry

It is aware of your thoughts you think in vain
It will start up a riot and release the pain
It's not a remedy
It's not a remedy
You will follow the orders of your king
You will bury the answer of this thing
It's not a remedy
It's not a remedy
Would you be?

It's taking your time
It doesn't matter what you feel
It's harder than steel
One day we'll find a reason why
I'm not sorry

I'm not sorry
I will find a way
I'm not sorry
I will find a way
I'm not sorry
I will find a way
I'm not sorry
I will find a way
I'm not sorry
I will find a way
I'm not sorry
I will find a way
I'm not sorry
I will find a way...
[goes on for a loong time]


It doesn't matter what you feel
One day we'll find a reason why Im not sorry
I'm not sorry


It doesn't matter what you feel
duunuuunuuu
awaaaayawaay

duunuuunuuu
awaaaayawaay

duunuuunuuu
awaaaayawaay

Im not sorry
It doesn't matter what you feel
One day we'll find a reason why
It doesn't matter what you feel

and im just in love with this song.. [:<3:]


Last Waltz by The Rasmus

Make me blind
Cover my eyes you can do what you want
I'm paralyzed by the perfect mood
When we're dancing with blindfolds on
You make it easy to love you and hate you
I can't explain it I feel insecure
You say it's simple "you die just to live again"
You say we're waiting for the last waltz

Another you and me
Another revolutionary heavenly romance
waiting for the last waltz
And so it seems
We won't find the solution
confusion leads the dance
Waiting for the last waltz

Praise the wine
So divine and it stings like a rose
Allow the night to flow inside open the window
and let the wind blow
Highlight of the night is the unhappy ending
You keep refusing to answer my calls
Drop the bending and stop the pretending
You say get ready for the last waltz

Another you and me
Another revolutionary heavenly romance
waiting for the last waltz
And so it seems
We won't find the solution
confusion leads the dance
Waiting for the last waltz

I believe that no one this world has the anwers for me
But still I hope that someone has heard.

Another you and me
Another revolutionary heavenly romance
waiting for the last waltz
And so it seems
We won't find the solution
confusion leads the dance
Waiting for the last waltz

The Verve Pipe - The Freshmen

When I was young I knew everything
And she a punk who rarely ever took advice
Now i'm guilt stricken, sobbing with my head on the floor
Stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice

I can't be held responsible
Cause she was touching her face
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place

For the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen

My best friend took a week's vacation to forget her
His girl took a week's worth of valium and slept
Now he's guilt stricken sobbing with his head on the floor
Thinks about her now and how he never really wept he says

I can't be held responsible
Cause she was touching her face
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place

For the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen

We've tried to wash our hands of all of this
We never talk of our lacking relationships
And how we're guilt stricken sobbing with our heads on the floor
We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip, we'd say

I can't be held responsible
Cause she was touching her face
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place

For the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen

For the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen

We were merely freshmen
We were merely freshmen
We were only freshmen

[Brian The Pink Shark]

Pink Floyd-Wish You Were Here

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

and

Wishbone Ash-Persephone

There's a light that shines on Persephone,
Always a fire in her eyes,
And the last time that I went to her
I could tell things weren't right.

I just don't care to see your years go wasting,
There's no longer magic in your eyes.

In your time, you could outshine everybody else around,
But your off-stage ways might be a bore -
You take a bow, you take a fall.


I came to be here in the footlights,
To live with you through every song,
And your face displays a peaceful field.
I can't believe the curtain has to fall.

Now I know your years were never wasted,
Tonight I saw the magic in your eyes.

[Tama2]

This dude knows good music.^




I have a hard time picking a fav....

Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd (of course)

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange
a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,
year after year,
running over the same old ground. What have we found?
The same old fears,
wish you were here.

Wow. In threads like these I'm usually the only one who considers "Wish You Were Here"

*hugs tama/squinn*

[Tama2]

Well, that is one of their best songs.

Ok Go - Crash The Party

Ba-bum, ba-badadadown, ba-ba, hey hey hey hey
Ba-bum, ba-badadadown, ba-ba, hey hey hey hey

You're not the prettiest girl in town, I'm not the only boy with sullied curls and a solemn frown
To hell with valentines, to hell with perfume, down with chocolates and picnics, and sinatra tunes
'Cause while the rest of the girls are drowning in roses and songs he composes
And while the rest of the guys are trying, oh trying so hard
Oh girl, lets crash the party, el dorado on the lawn, hey hey hey
Lets burn holes in the carpets, kick and shatter this line of tables, all night long

I'm not so good with subtlety, you wouldn't say I was the picture of urbanity
Never put much stock in suavity, and courtesy, chivalry, gallantry, all that useless jewelery
But while of rest of the girls will sigh for the night he was smiling politely
And while the rest of the guys are trying, oh trying so hard...
Oh girl, lets crash the party, el dorado on the lawn, hey hey hey
Lets burn holes in the carpets, kick and shatter this line of tables, all night long
All night (Girl, lets crash the party)
All night long
All night (Girl, lets crash the party)
All night long

I feel like I'm the only person who happens to have posted a pretty cheerful and generally pointless song, go me, why do people need to always have lyrics with such gravitas, something good and meaningless is all you need sometimes.

Then again, there are Ok Go songs that I like the lyrics for more, but since this is an advance version of an album, I have to type out all the lyrics myself. They're pretty lyrically heavy songs, so this being the shortest and most fun, it's the easiest, then again I'm not even sure of some of the lyrics so if anyone would care to correct me on some, it'd be welcome.

<b>Sonic Youth - Hoarfrost</b>

I put my feet deep in the tracks that you made
Walked behind you off into the wood
"We'll know where when we get there" you said
And we both knew we would

High above like a spider
The colors turning brown
Freeways passing by us
I took your hand and we knelt down

Wheels paddle, wheels paddle
Movement as we go
Trees passing, trees passing
Signs along the road
A view thru the trees to a couple in the snow
A view thru the trees
To a couple standing in the snow

Suddenly the trees were flashing by us
Clouds reflecting fast across your eye
We turned into a frozen meadow
The wind the only sound
"We'll know where when we get there" you said
"We'll know where when we get there" you said


<b>The Pogues - The Sick Bed of Cuchulainn</b>

Mccormack and richard tauber are singing by the bed
There’s a glass of punch below your feet and an angel at your head
There’s devils on each side of you with bottles in their hands
You need one more drop of poison and you’ll dream of foreign lands

When you pissed yourself in frankfurt and got syph down in cologne
And you heard the rattling death trains as you lay there all alone
Frank ryan brought you whiskey in a brothel in madrid
And you decked some smurfing blackshirt who was cursing all the yids
At the sick bed of cuchulainn we’ll kneel and say a prayer
And the ghosts are rattling at the door and the devil’s in the chair

And in the euston tavern you screamed it was your shout
But they wouldn’t give you service so you kicked the windows out
They took you out into the street and kicked you in the brains
So you walked back in through a bolted door and did it all again
At the sick bed of cuchulainn we’ll kneel and say a prayer
And the ghosts are rattling at the door and the devil’s in the chair

You remember that foul evening when you heard the banshees howl
There was lousy drunken bastards singing billy is in the bowl
They took you up to midnight mass and left you in the lurch
So you dropped a button in the plate and spewed up in the church

Now you’ll sing a song of liberty for blacks and paks and jocks
And they’ll take you from this dump you’re in and stick you in a box
Then they’ll take you to cloughprior and shove you in the ground
But you’ll stick your head back out and shout we’ll have another round
At the graveside of cuchulainn we’ll kneel around and pray
And God is in his heaven, and billy’s down by the bay

The Mad Capsule Markets - Crack

Just then crack appeared
Violent and peaceful THING
I think I can kill men
But I think I love Buddha

Not to be ruled by the crack

Also by mad caps, DO JUSTICE TO YOURSELF DO JUSTICE TO MY LIFE, which are the lyrics of the entire song. I love them because they're so random.

[Holy_Aeris]

Imogen Heap- Hide and Seek

where are we? what the hell is going on?
the dust has only just began to fall
crop circles in the carpet, sinking, feeling
spin me around again and rub my eyes
this can't be happening
when busy streets a mess with people would stop to hold their heads heavy

hide and seek
trains and sewing machines?
all those years they were here first

oily marks appear on walls
where pleasue moments hung before
the takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this
still alive

hide and seek
trains and sewing machines? oh, you won't catch me around here
blood and tears they were here first

mm what you say
oh that you only meant well, well of course you did
mm what you say
mm that it's all for the best, of course it is
mm what you say
that IT'S JUST what we need, you decided this
mm what you say
what did she say?

ransom notes keep falling at your mouth
mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs
speak no feeling no i don't believe you
you don't care a bit you don't care a bit

[Rini]

Zelda, I think you could've left those "uuuu" parts out since they most likely have no relevance to the lyrics :D
~~~~~~
so anyway..

Opeth - Black Rose Immortal
In the name of desperation
I call your name
A lamentation I sigh
Again and again

Spiritual eclipse
The gateways are closed for me to seek

The night...
A veil of stars, watching
My shadow is born from light
The light of the eye, in darkness

Over troubled waters memories soar
Endlessly, searching night and day
The moonlight caresses a lonely hill
With the calmness of a whisper

I wear a naked soul
A blank face in the streaming water
It is cold in here
Frost scar my coat with dust

Eyes attach to your mute portrait
We spoke only through thoughts
Together we gazed, awaited
Hours brought thirst and the rising sun

Sunbirds leave their dark recesses
Shadows gild the archways

Do not turn your face towards me
Confronting me with my loneliness
You are in a forest unknown
The secret orchard
And your voice is vast and achromatic
But still so precious

Lullaby of the crescent moon took you
Mesmerized, its kaleidoscopic face
Granted you a hollow stare
Another soul within the divine herd

I have kept it
The amaranth symbol
Hidden inside the golden shrine
Until we rejoice in the meadow
Of the end
When we both walk the shadows
It will set ablaze and vanish
Black rose immortal

It is getting dark again
Dusk shuffle across the fields
The evening trees moan as if they knew
At night I always dream of you
A tale of tragic love. A bit cliche, but I think it's expressed quite originally. I love the nature metaphors and symbols here especially.

Marika Matsumoto - Get Happy! (Final Fantasy X vocal collection)
If we tightly pool our strength together
No matter how big the dream
Surely someday, surely someday
That's right, it'll come true
We can be, we can be
Much more happy

If I can walk with my head held high
Even on the gloomy rainy days
I'll now be able to see the sun
From between the distant clouds

That's right, let's seek out fun and excitement every day
While tightly embracing handfuls of hope
Throw away that feeling of wanting to cry a little
If you smile then look, I'm happy again today!

Everyday I'll be cheerful and flourish
With my back fully awash in the sunlight
If you take hold of the feelings overflowing
In your heart and smile then look, I'm happy!

Because my heart throbs sharply
No matter how tiny the love
Surely someday, surely someday
That's right, I'll show you that I'll make it come true
I want to be, I want to be
Much more happy

If you want to have true love
You can't just wait patiently for it
I'll show you that I'll seize hold of it
Whether if it's a miracle or it's fate

That's right, everyday I'll be cheerful and flourish
With my back fully awash in the sunlight
If you take hold of the feelings overflowing
In your heart and smile then look, I'm happy!

Let's seek out fun and excitement every day
While tightly embracing handfuls of hope
Throw away that feeling of wanting to cry a little
If you smile then look, everyone's happy!
A little different song from the previous, it's so spunky and cheery it makes even me like pop songs like this one x) Also the message is pretty good. Always think positive, at least a little :)

Ayreon - Temple of the Cat
Shine down on me, Sun of the Underworld
Set me free, chase away the night
Proud Jaguar, king of the Mayan Gods
Shining star, light up the sky

And guide me to the Temple of the Cat

Heart-of-Sky, Maker and Hurricane
Mighty eye, harvester of life
We were born solely to speak your name
Bring the dawn, we'll praise the sky

Here inside the Temple of the Cat

Upon his throne the High priest addressed the crowd
Now carved in stone his holy name
Beads of jade adorn his cotton shroud
His silvery blade on a golden chain

He lies here in the Temple of the Cat, dead
He will rise again from the Temple of the Cat
Another great song by Arjen Lucassen (the mastermind behind Ayreon), I like the story of this song, aswell as the whole album Universal Migrator part 1: The Dream Sequencer. The story is quite interesting, I suggest reading it if anyone's into science fiction and stuff (both part 1 and 2).

Oh yes and I like Wish You Were Here aswell ;)

The Used

"All That I've Got"

So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me
Off guard, red handed
Now I'm far from lonely
Asleep I still see you lying next to me
So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me I..

I need something else
Would someone please just give me
Hit me, knock me out
And let me go back to sleep
I can laugh
All I want inside I still am empty
So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me I...

I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got

I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got

I guess, I remember every glance you shot me
Un-harmed, I'm losing weight and some body heat
I squoze so hard
I stopped your heart from beating
So deep that I didn't even scream smurf me, I..

I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got

I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got

And it's all that I've got
Yeah, it's all that I've got
It's all that I've got
It's all that I've got
It's all that I've got!

So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me
So deep that I didn't even scream smurf me

I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got

I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got

And it's all that I've got
Yeah, it's all that I've got

"The Message"

Fake thug, no love, you get the slug, CB4 Gusto
Your luck low, I didn't know til I was drunk though
You freak n****z played out, get f***ed and ate out
Prostitute turned bitch, I got the gauge out
96 ways I made out, Montana way
The Good-F-E-L-L-A, verbal AK spray
Dipped attache, jumped out the Range, empty out the ashtray
A glass of 'ze make a man Cassius Clay
Red dot plots, murder schemes, thirty-two shotguns
Regulate wit my Dunn's, 17 rocks gleam from one ring
Yo let me let y'all n****z know one thing
There's one life, one love, so there can only be one King
The highlights of livin, Vegas style roll dice in linen
Antera spinnin on Milleniums, twenty G bets I'm winnin them
Threats I'm sendin them, Lex with TV sets the minimum
Ill sex adrenaline
Party with villians, a case of Demi-Sec to chase the Henny
Wet any clique, with the semi-tech who want it
Diamonds I flaunt it, chickenheads flock I lace em
Fried broiled with basil, taste em, crack the legs
way out of formation, it's horizontal how I have em
smurfin me in the Benz wagon
Can it be Vanity from Last Dragon
Grab your gun it's on though

"I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death"
"I ain't the type of brother made for you to start testin"

I peeped you frontin, I was in the Jeep
Sunk in the seat, tinted with heat, beats bumpin
Across the streat you was wildin
Talkin bout how you ran the Island in eighty-nine
Layin up, playin the yard with crazy shine
I cocked a baby 9 that n**** grave be mine, clanked him
What was he thinkin on my corner when it's pay me time
Dug em you owe me cousin somethin told me plug him
So dumb, felt my leg burn, then it got numb
Spun around and shot one, heard shots and dropped son
Caught a hot one, somebody take this biscuit 'fore the cops come
Then they came askin me my name, what the f***
I got stitched up and went through
Left the hospital that same night, what
Got my gat back, time to backtrack
I had to drop so how the f*** I get clapped
Black was in the Jeep watchin all these scenes speed by
It was a brown Datsun, and yo nobody in my hood got one
That clown n****'s through, blazin at his crew daily
The 'Bridge touched me up severely hear me?
So when I rhyme it's sincerely yours
Be lightin L's sippin Coors, on all floors in project halls
Contemplatin war n****z I was cool with before
We used to score together, Uptown coppin the raw
But uhh, a thug changes, and love changes
