Darklighter Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Skywalker Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormHammer Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 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 -------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Count Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckcsaber Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sivy Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Groovy Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jed Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 Darky! You listen to Robbie Williams! Gj m8! 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.

jl1887 Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 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.

Darth Groovy Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
