What are your favourite verses in a song?


One of mine would be: Time of Dying by Three Days Grace

"I will not die I'll wait here for you,
I feel alive when you're beside me,
I will not die I'll wait here for you, in my time of dying"

 

[SoundSiren]

30 Seconds to Mars - Hurricane

"No matter how many deaths that I die, I will never forget
No matter how many lives I live, I will never regret
There's a fire inside this heart and a riot about to explode into flames
Where is your God? Where is your God? Where is your God? ..."

 

[Sweed]

Gosh I have lots of them 😀

I take one at a time though. This one is from Tim McGraw - Beautiful People. 🙂 It's the first verse and a beginning of a refrain, but anyway 😉

Carl's got a brand new haircut, must have been the girl's first date
Baby blue front quarter panel on his old dark green Chevorlet
Probably never make the pages of People magazine
But you oughta see them sick kids' faces when he shows up on Christmas Eve
Dressed like old St. Nick
That missin' tooth don't matter a bit
There's a lot like him around in every town

They're just family, friends, and neighbors
Doing what they've always done
Lovin' fathers, lovin' daughters, lovin' mothers, lovin' sons

 

[kered]

Prop me up beside the jukebox when I die
I want to go to heaven
But I don't want to go tonight
Fill my boots up with sand
Put a stiff drink in my hand
Prop me up beside the jukebox when I die

Saving me - Nickelback

"Show me what its like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And Ill show you what I can be
And say it for me
Say it to me
And Ill leave this life behind me
Say it if its worth savin me"

The Pogues - Donegal Express

Kahaya, you fuck
Come hell or high water
I might have fucked your Missus
But I never fucked your daughter

 

[milagros317]

From Hey Jude by The Beatles:

Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Hey Jude, don't be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.

Hey Jude, don't let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Slipknot: Snuff

So save your breath, I will not care
I think I made it very clear
You couldn't hate enough to love
Is that supposed to be enough?

I only wish you weren't my friend
Then I could hurt you in the end
I never claimed to be a saint
Ooh, my own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go

 

[McNoodle]

Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from pain in the dream domain
a soul set free to fly

Queensryche - Silent Lucidity

 

[Carsomyr]

First of all, ok so I have a strange taste in music, live with it! 😛 But yeah, this shit is awesome, and I frickin' love lyrics sung in latin. English translation included, though.


Lilium - Elfen Lied

Os iusti meditabitur sapientiam
Et lingua eius loqueter indicium
Beatus vir qui suffert tentationem
Quoniam cum probates fuerit accipient coronam vitae

Kyrie, ignis divine, eleison!

O quam sancta
Quam serena
Quam benigna
Quam amoena
O castitas Lilium


Translation:

The mouth of the Just shall meditate wisdom,
and His tongue shall speak judgement.
Blessed is He who endures temptation,
for, once tried, He shall receive the crown of life.

Oh Lord, Fire Divine, have mercy!

Oh how sacred,
How serene
How benevolent
How lovely
Oh lily of purity

 

[Marquis De Sade]

"Get up off the floor and believe in life, no one's ever gonna ever ask you twice." - Oasis

 

[Desparting297]

Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned - Angtoria

"Reach out to you, you raise your iron fist
Betrayed, not raised, dismissed!
Your loveless life, no heart warming twist
Neglect, your deflect! Forced to shy away
Dragged, we will fall
Corruption reborn
Lost your grip on life"

 

[Sweed]

Taylor Swift - Mary's Song

I'll be eighty-seven; you'll be eighty-nine
I'll still look at you like the stars that shine
In the sky, oh my my my...

Love the whole lyric, but this is the cutest part 🙂

"My Immortal" by Evanescence

"You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me"

 

[john getty]

"Plenty More" by UB40

There's plenty more where that came from
Five megatons of oblivion
Sent with love from the Pentagon
A laser guided neutron bomb

 

[CD216]

Taken from the end of "Baby Girl, I'm a Blur" by Say Anything.

"No matter where I go or ***** my mind, I'll always stumble home and pray I'll find you with your flame-throw eyes and jilted smile, so you can soothe my wounds and drain my bile."

 

[tickler118]

Lighthouse Family - High

"When you're close to tears remember
Some day it'll all be over
One day we're gonna get so high
And though it's darker than December
What's ahead is a different colour
One day we're gonna get so high

'Cause we are gonna be forever you and me
You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love"

 

[tickler118]

Toto - Africa

"I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way,
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, Hurry boy, It's waiting there for you

It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never have"

 

[Lord Doctor]

"Ho ho fucking ho, what a crock of shit! We all work for Santa Clause, we've had enough we quit! Coz we do all the fucking work while he stars in the show! Stick you're Christmas up your arse, ho ho fucking ho!" 😀

 

[Interrogator]

Ramones - My Back Pages

Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now

 

[john getty]

I've got piles, you've got scabies,
The kid's got the measels and the dog's got the rabies,
Oh boy, the world can see that you were meant for me.
All my life, I've been kissin'
Your left tit 'cause the right one's missin'
Oh boy, the world can see that you were meant for me
I'm losin' my hair, my arches have fallen
Our six kids are always bawlin'
There's nappys in the kitchen, there's toys on the stairs
And when I ask you for support you shout "Up the Chairs"
Oh boy, the world can see that you were meant for me.

Billy Connolly

"Consider Me Gone" by Reba McEntire

"If I'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose
If I'm not that arrow to the heart of you
If you don't get drunk on my kiss
If you think you can do better than this then I guess we're done
Let's not drag this on
Consider me gone"

 

[Sweed]

Tim McGraw- Down on the farm

You can have a lot of fun in a New York minute
But there's some things you can't do inside those city limits
Ain't no closing time
Ain't no cover charge
Just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm

 

[Carsomyr]

Devils Never Cry - Rungran

Blue and red lyrics are sung at the same time, with the red ones being "in the background".


(Clean Voice)

We are falling
The light is calling
Tears inside me
Calm me down

Midnight calling
Mist of resolving
Crown me, with the
Pure green leaf

Bless me with the
Leaf off of the tree
On it I see
The freedom reign

Praise to my father
Blessed by the water
Black night, dark sky
The devils cry



(Demonic Voice)

The powers proven to end the madness
Upon I take it to end the savage
The rays of light a truth of meaning
To my father the blood is pleading

A justice rage for all to feel
With innocent cries and hatred squeals
The gore of evil seems to satisfy
When slain and maimed and pacified

My chosen torture makes me stronger
In a life that craves the hunger
A Freedom and a quest for life
Until the end the judgment night

Watch the footsteps but never follow
If you want to live tomorrow
Steal a soul for a second chance
But you will never become a man


People who know how much I love the contrast of light and dark will understand why this is a typical "Carsy-song" 😀 😛
