Best Song Lyrics?


Darklighter

Recommended Posts

Would do you think are the best ever lyrics for a song? My personal favourite is the lyrics of No regrets, by Robbie Williams. If you have KaZaA or Limewire, try and download this song and listen to the lyrics. They really hit you hard I think, and I can relate to the stuff he talks about in the song.

 

No Regrets by Robbie Williams

 

Tell me a story

where we all change,

And we'd live our lives together

and not estranged,

 

I didn't lose my mind it was

mine to give away,

Couldn't stay to watch me cry

You didn't have the time

so I softly slip away...

 

No regrets / They don't work

No regrets now / They only hurt

Sing me a love song

Drop me a line

Suppose its just a point of view

but they tell me I'm doing fine

 

I know from the outside

we looked good for each other

Felt things were going wrong

when you didn't like my mother

 

I don't want to hate but that's

all you've left me with

A bitter aftertaste and a fantasy of

how we all could live

 

No regrets / They don't work

No regrets now / They only hurt

 

[We've been told you stay up late]

I know they're still talking

[You're far too short to carry weight]

The demons in your head

[Return the video's they're late]

If I could just stop hating you

[Goodbye]

I'd feel sorry for us instead

Remember the photographs (insane)

The ones where we all laugh (so lame)

We were having the time of our lives

Well thank you it was a real blast

 

No regrets / They don't work

No regrets / They only hurt

Write me a love song

Drop me a line

Suppose it's just a point of view

but they tell me i'm doing fine

 

Everything I wanted to be every time I walked away

Every time you told me to leave I just wanted to stay

Every time you looked at me and every time you smiled

I felt so vacant you treat me like a child

I loved the way we used to laugh

I loved the way we used to smile

Often I sit down and think of you for a while

Then it passes me by and I think of someone else instead

I guess the love we once had is officially dead

i have so many single lines from songs that i could mention, i may post them later when i collate them.

 

One of my favourite lyrics is to 'redundant' by green day:

 

 

 

We're living in repetition.

Content in the same old shtick again.

Now the routine's turning to contention,

Like a production line going over and over and over, roller

coaster.

 

Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice.

I'm speechless and redundant.

'Cause I love you's not enough.

I'm lost for words.

 

Choreographed and lack of passion.

Prototypes of what we were.

Went full circle 'til I'm nauseous.

Taken for granted now.

Now I waste it, faked it, ate it, now i hate it.

 

Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice.

I'm speechless and redundant, 'cause I love you's not enough.

I'm lost for words...

another favourite is 'church on sunday' again, by green day

 

Today is the first day of the rest

Of our lives

Tomorrow is too late to pretend

Everything's allright

I'm not getting any younger as long

As you don't get any older

I'm not going to state that yesterday never was

 

Bloodshot deadbeat and a lack of sleep

Making your mascara bleed

Tears down your face

Leaving traces of my mistakes

 

If I promise to go to church on Sunday

Will you go with ne on Friday night?

If you live with me, I'll die for you

And this compromise

 

I hereby solenly to tell

The whole truth

And nothing but the truth is what

I'll ever hear from you

Trust is a dirty word that comes

Only from such a liar

But respect is something I will earn..

If you have faith...

 

 

btw, i like those lyrics in no regrets, darky, not to keen on the actual melody/music but the lyrics are graet :)

Ooooh...there are such a lot of good songs, it's hard to just pick the lyrics from one. The bands I like the most from a lyrical standpoint are probably The Moody Blues, Pink Floyd and Steeleye Span.

 

Here's a Floyd song...from The Dark Side Of The Moon album...

 

TIME

 

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town

Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

 

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain

You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you

No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

 

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking

Racing around to come up behind you again

The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,

Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

 

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time

Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

The time is gone, the song is over,

Thought I'd something more to say

Grey Stone

shallow deep,

still, standing still

confusing the manic me

your world a shower of disruption

somber sacharine

turns in my stomach

exausting are my last attempts to move you

pushing and pulling...

still stading still

you speak more when nothing is said

as the keystone

of my existence

still standing still

without you

holding up our spirits

the past just falls

and hits me in the face

still standing still

sledgehammers cannot crush

your vibrant lifelessness

holding you in adoration

still standing still

I covet your millstone vitality

 

 

Darth Groovy, 1992

You?

 

puzzle.

 

yes,

 

interesting for me to play with

 

simple

 

complex

 

put yourself

 

for me to test

 

me?

 

Saved as my best

 

waited forever

 

at least so confessed

 

interesting

 

the strange thing

 

I missed

 

with you the feeling blissed

 

enlist you with interest

 

where has the time gone?

 

since you passed on?

 

bare feet still in place

 

on the saturated grass

 

infinite feeling

 

carressing you

 

through a millenium's span

 

of broken glass

 

unify with you

 

hereafter

 

single at last

 

I often forget

 

burning pictures,

 

tortured emotions,

 

timeless ailment.

 

Oh yes! Disease amour!

Metallica - Battery

 

 

Lashing out the action, returning the reaction

Weak are ripped and torn away

Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower

Battery is here to stay

 

Smashing through the boundaries

Lunacy has found me

Cannot stop the battery

Pounding out aggression

Turns into obsession

Cannot kill the battery

 

Cannot kill the family

Battery is found in me

 

Battery

 

Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers

Never ending potency

Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker

Breeding on insanity

 

Smashing through the boundaries

Lunacy has found me

Cannot stop the battery

Pounding out aggression

Turns into obsession

Cannot kill the battery

 

Cannot kill the family

Battery is found in me

 

Battery

 

Circle of destruction, hammer comes crushing

Powerhouse of energy

Whipping up a fury, dominating flurry

We create the battery

 

Smashing through the boundaries

Lunacy has found me

Cannot stop the battery

Pounding out aggression

Turns into obsession

Cannot kill the battery

 

Cannot kill the family

Battery is found in me

 

Battery

The Verve a song called "History"

 

I wander lonely streets

Behind where the old Thames does flow

And in every face I meet

Reminds me of what I have run from

 

*In every man, in every hand

In every kiss, you understand

That livng is for other men*

I hope you two will understand

 

 

I've got to tell you my tale

Of how I loved and how I failed

I hope you understand

 

 

I've got to tell you my tale

Of how I loved and how I failed

I hope you understand

These feelings should not be in the man

 

 

In every child, in every eye

In every sky, above my head

I hope that I know

So come with me in bed

Because it's you and me, we're history

There ain't nothing left to say

When I will get you alone

 

 

Maybe we could find a room

Where we could see what we should do

Maybe you konw it's true

Living with me is like keeping a fool

 

 

In every man, in every hand

In every kiss, you understand

That living is for other men

I hope you know that I am me so come on

I'm thinking about history

And I'm living for history

And I think you know about me

Cause I am

 

 

And one and one is two

But three is company

When you're thinking about the things you do

And you're thinking about the things you do

I want to tell you my tale

How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail

I hope ypu understand there's more in a smile than in a hand

In every sky, in every kiss

There's something that I migght have missed

 

 

Why am I going to

A place that now belongs to you

But you were weak and so was I

Let's pick it up, let's even try

To live today, so why not smile

Don't dream away your life coz it is mine

Is that a crime (repeat) this life is mine

The bed ain't made but it's filled full of hope

I've got a skin full of dope

I've got a skin full of dope

this song seems really powerful to me, i love the lyrics...

 

 

Metallica - Disposable Heroes

 

 

Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end

No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend

Running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all

Victim of what said should be

A servant 'til I fall

 

Soldier boy, made of clay

Now an empty shell

Twenty one, only son

But he served us well

Bred to kill, not to care

Do just as we say

Finished here, greetings death

He's yours to take away

 

Back to the front

You will do what I say, when I say

Back to the front

You will die when I say, you must die

Back to the front

You coward

You servant

You blindman

 

Barking of machinegun fire, does nothing to me now

Sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow

More a man, more stripes you bare, glory seeker trends

Bodies fill the fields I see

The slaughter never ends

 

Soldier boy, made of clay

Now an empty shell

Twenty one, only son

But he served us well

Bred to kill, not to care

Do just as we say

Finished here, greetings death

He's yours to take away

 

Back to the front

You will do what I say, when I say

Back to the front

You will die when I say, you must die

Back to the front

You coward

You servant

You blindman

 

Why, am I dying?

Kill, have no fear

Lie, live off lying

Hell, hell is here

 

I was born for dying

 

Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say

Had no chance to see myself, molded day by day

Looking back I realize, nothing have I done

Left to die with only friend

Alone I clench my gun

 

Soldier boy, made of clay

Now an empty shell

Twenty one, only son

But he served us well

Bred to kill, not to care

Do just as we say

Finished here, greetings death

He's yours to take away

 

Back to the front

You will do what I say, when I say

Back to the front

You will die when I say, you must die

Back to the front

You coward

You servant

You blindman

 

Back to the front

I agree with Clem on Lola.

 

 

Lola, by the Kinks

 

I met her in a club down in old Soho

Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola [LP version:

Coca-Cola]

C-O-L-A cola

She walked up to me and she asked me to dance

I asked her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola

L-O-L-A Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

 

Well I'm not the world's most physical guy

But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine

Oh my Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand

Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man

Oh my Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

 

Well we drank champagne and danced all night

Under electric candlelight

She picked me up and sat me on her knee

And said dear boy won't you come home with me

Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy

But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my Lola

Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

 

I pushed her away

I walked to the door

I fell to the floor

I got down on my knees

Then I looked at her and she at me

 

Well that's the way that I want it to stay

And I always want it to be that way for my Lola

Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Girls will be boys and boys will be girls

It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola

Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

 

Well I left home just a week before

And I'd never ever kissed a woman before

But Lola smiled and took me by the hand

And said dear boy I'm gonna make you a man

 

Well I'm not the world's most masculine man

But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man

And so is Lola

Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Nas

"It Ain't Hard To Tell"

 

 

It ain't hard to tell, I excel, then prevail

The mic is contacted, I attract clientele

My mic check is life or death, breathin a sniper's breath

I exhale the yellow smoke of buddha through righteous steps

Deep like The Shinin', sparkle like a diamond

Sneak a uzi on the island in my army jacket linin

Hit the Earth like a comet, invasion

Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian, half-man, half-amazin

Cause in my physical, I can express through song

Delete stress like Motrin, then extend strong

I drank Moet with Medusa, give her shotguns in hell

From the spliff that I lift and inhale, it ain't hard to tell

 

The buddha monk's in your trunk, turn the bass up

Not stories by Aesop, place your loot up, parties I shoot up

Nas, I analyze, drop a jew-el, inhale from the L

School a fool well, you feel it like braille

It ain't hard to tell, I kick a skill like Shaquille holds a pill

Vocabulary spills I'm +Ill+

plus +Matic+, I freak beats slam it like Iron Shiek

Jam like a tech with correct techniques

So analyze me, surprise me, but can't magmatize me

Scannin while you're plannin ways to sabotage me

I leave em froze like her-on in your nose

Nas'll rock well, it ain't hard to tell

 

This rhythmatic explosion, is what your frame of mind has chosen

I'll leave your brain stimulated, niggaz is frozen

Speak with criminal slang, begin like a violin

End like Leviathan, it's deep well let me try again

Wisdom be leakin out my grapefruit troop

I dominate break loops, givin mics men-e-straul cycles

Street's disciple, I rock beats that's mega trifle

And groovy but smoother than moves by Villanova

You're still a soldier, I'm like Sly Stone in Cobra

Packin like a rasta in the weed spot

Vocals'll squeeze glocks, MC's eavesdrop

Though they need not to sneak

My poetry's deep, I never fell

Nas's raps should be locked in a cell

It ain't hard to tell

I, I will be king

And you, you will be queen

Though nothing will drive them away

We can beat them, just for one day

We can be Heroes, just for one day

 

And you, you can be mean

And I, I'll drink all the time

'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact

Yes we're lovers, and that is that

 

Though nothing, will keep us together

We could steal time, just for one day

We can be Heroes, for ever and ever

What d'you say?

 

I, I wish you could swim

Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim

Though nothing, nothing will keep us together

We can beat them, for ever and ever

Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day

 

I, I will be king

And you, you will be queen

Though nothing will drive them away

We can be Heroes, just for one day

We can be us, just for one day

 

I, I can remember (I remember)

Standing, by the wall (by the wall)

And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)

And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)

And the shame, was on the other side

Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever

Then we could be Heroes, just for one day

 

We can be Heroes

We can be Heroes

We can be Heroes

Just for one day

We can be Heroes

 

We're nothing, and nothing will help us

Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay

But we could be safer, just for one day

 

Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh, just for one day

 

 

David Bowie, 1977

weezer's "Pink Triangle"

 

it's about a guy who falls in love with a lesbian, classic!

 

 

When I'm stable long enough

I start to look around for love

See a sweet in floral prints

My mind begins the arrangements

But when I start to feel that pull

Turns out I just pulled myself

She would never go with me

Were I the last girl on earth

 

I'm dumb, she's a lesbian

I thought I had found the one

We were good as married in my mind

But married in my mind's no good

Pink triangle on her sleeve

Let me know the truth

Let me know the truth

 

Might have smoked a few in my time

But never thought it was a crime

Knew the day would surely come

When I'd chill and settle down

When I think I've found a good old-fashioned girl

Then she put me in my place

If everyone's a little queer

Can't she be a little straight?

 

I'm dumb, she's a lesbian

I thought I had found the one

We were good as married in my mind

But married in my mind's no good

Pink triangle on her sleeve

Let me know the truth

Let me know the truth

Let me know the truth

 

I'm dumb, she's a lesbian

I thought I had found the one

We were good as married in my mind

But married in my mind's no good

Pink triangle on her sleeve

Let me know the truth

Let me know the truth

 

I'm dumb, she's a lesbian

I thought I had found the one

We were good as married in my mind

But married in my mind's no good

Pink triangle on her sleeve

Let me know the truth

Let me know the truth

Let me know the truth

Let me know the truth

I'm an alligator, I'm a mama-papa coming for you

I'm the space invader, I'll be a rock 'n' rollin' bitch for you

Keep your mouth shut, you're squawking like a pink monkey bird

And I'm busting up my brains for the words

 

Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe

Put your ray gun to my head

Press your space face close to mine, love

Freak out in a moonage daydream oh yeah!

 

Don't fake it baby, lay the real thing on me

The church of man, love, is such a holy place to be

Make me baby, make me know you really care

Make me jump into the air

 

Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe

Put your ray gun to my head

Press your space face close to mine, love

Freak out in a moonage daydream oh yeah!

(repeat x3)

 

Freak out, far out, in out

Do you remember a guy that's been

In such an early song

I've heard a rumour from Ground Control

Oh no, don't say it's true

 

They got a message from the Action Man

"I'm happy, hope you're happy too

I've loved all I've needed to love

Sordid details following"

 

The shrieking of nothing is killing

Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I

Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair

But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing

 

CHORUS

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky

We know Major Tom's a junkie

Strung out in heaven's high

Hitting an all-time low

 

Time and again I tell myself

I'll stay clean tonight

But the little green wheels are following me

Oh no, not again

I'm stuck with a valuable friend

"I'm happy, hope you're happy too"

One flash of light but no smoking pistol

 

I never done good things

I never done bad things

I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh

Want an axe to break the ice

Wanna come down right now

 

CHORUS

 

REPEAT

My mother said to get things done

You'd better not mess with Major Tom

 

David Bowie, 1980

Darky! You listen to Robbie Williams! :thumbsup: Gj m8! :D

 

Here's three more sets of lyrics....first two are Weezer.

 

Say It Ain't So

 

Somebody's Heine' is crowdin' my icebox

Somebody's cold one is givin' me chills

Guess I'll just close my eyes

 

Flip on the tele'

Wrestle with Jimmy

Something is bubbling

Behind my back

The bottle is ready to blow

 

Say it ain't so

Your drug is a heartbreaker

Say it ain't so

My love is a lifetaker

 

I can't confront you

I never could do

That which might hurt you

So try and be cool

When I say

This way is a waterslide away from me that takes you further every day

So be cool

 

Dear Daddy,

I write you in spite of years of silence.

You've cleaned up, found Jesus,

things are good or so I hear.

This bottle of Steven's

awakens ancient feelings.

Like father, stepfather, the son is drowning in the flood.

 

 

Only In Dreams

 

You can't resist her

She's in your bones

She is your marrow

And your ride home

 

You can't avoid her

She's in the air

In between molecules

Of Oxygen and carbon dioxide

 

Only in dreams

We see what it means

Reach out our hands

Hold on to hers

But when we wake

It's all been erased

And so it seems

Only in dreams

 

You walk up to her

Ask her to dance

She says "hey, baby I just might take the chance"

You say "It's a good thing

That you float in the air

That way there's no way I will crush your pretty toenails into a thousand pieces."

Only in dreams.

 

 

And another song by Robbie Williams....

 

 

Phoenix From The Flames

 

Silence shields the pain

So you say nothing

Feel they've rigged the game

And you're done with lovin'

Only you can see the darkness in the northern lights

 

Phoenix from the Flames

We will rise together

They will know our names

Can you feel it

Shelter me from pain

I always wanna feel this way

Oh yeah

Just like a Phoenix from the Flame

 

Wish they'd take you back

Cos you miss heaven

Too many bags to pack

So leave them where they are

Tonight you're flying on a golden dream

 

Phoenix from the Flames

We will rise together

They will know our names

Can you feel it

Shelter me from pain

I always wanna feel this way

 

Everybody's talking

Nobody's listening

Too busy thinking about what you've

Been missing

Everybody said you're gonna take it

Too far baby now

Well come on

 

When you're done with lovin'

It comes down to nothing

Can you feel it

Can you feel it

Can you feel it

 

Phoenix from the Flames

We will rise together

They will know our names

Can you feel it

Shelter me from pain

I always wanna feel this way

Oh yeah

Just like a Phoenix from the Flame

 

Phoenix from the Flames

We will rise together

They will know our names

Can you feel it

Shelter me from pain

I always wanna feel this way

Oh yeah

Just like a Phoenix from the Flame

 

Why don't you come and deny it

You know you can't deny it

I always wanna feel this way

Just like a Phoenix from the Flames

 

 

 

 

 

Those are some of my fav songs that I can relate to.

Sunny Day Real Estate ~ "Song About an Angel"

 

Man: So I say still away sleep close my eyes

an image of your face traced in white sand

Underneath undefined I lay down

Arms outstretched I embrace the fall

And all the time i tried to let you know discomfort comes clearly.

Sometimes you see right through me

angel: Words. Words. You're married to that. You're married to that. You're married to your pain

Man: although you hit me hard i come back

The earth cires, and I call on the inside

Running behind. which one will i face?

Angel: thin comfort in what i say

my back is turned a halo my soul for a while

and all the time i tried to let you know

discomfort comes clearly.

For we're living in a safety zone

Don't be holding back from me

We're living from hour to hour down here

And we'll take it when we can

 

It's a kind of living which recognizes

The death of the odourless man

When nothing is vanity nothing's too slow

It's not Eden but it's no sham

 

There is no hell

There is no shame

There is no hell

Like an old hell

There is no hell

 

And it's lights up, boys

Lights up boys

 

Explosion falls upon deaf ears

While we're swimming in a sea of sham

Living in the shadow of vanity

A complex fashion for a simple man

 

And there is no hell

And there is no shame

And there is no hell

Like an old hell

There is no hell

 

And the silence flies on its brief flight

A razor sharp crap shoot affair

And we light up our lives

 

And there's no more of me exploding you

Re-exposing you

Like everybody do

Re-exploding you

 

I don't know what to use

Make somebody move

Me exploding

Me exploding you

 

David Bowie, 1995
