Your favorite song lyrics?

[crazybob]

After seeing everybody's favorite quotes, I thought of this. What is you're favorite line from a song? Be sure and tell what song it is and who sings it.

I've got a couple.

"Nothing in life will ever come that easy doesn't mean it has to be that hard."
-Dexter Freebish, "Leaving Town"

"Live like you were dying. Like tomorrow was a gift, and you've got eternity to think about what you'd do with it"
-Tim McGraw, "Live Like you were Dying"

 

[Cbarton]

"As long as there is time, and one breath left in me, there will always be one more song for you. And as long as there is room for one more voice in praise, and a need fro a word of love and truth to help my brother through, there'll be one more song for you."
The Imperials, "One More Song For You" (song that kept me from suicide in college...literally)

 

[Duke Diablo]

"I don't know what's worth fighting for or why I have to scream, but now I have some clarity to show you what I mean. I don't know what's worth fighting for, I know it's not alright, so I'm breaking the habit tonight."
-Linkin Park "Breaking the habit"

Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner. Sometimes I feel like my only friend is the city I live in, the "City of angels'. Lonely as I am, together we cry.
-Red Hot Chilly Peppers - Under the bridge

Near a tree by a river there's a hole in the ground.
Where an old man of Erin goes around and around.
And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night.
For a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right
- Nik Kershaw- The Riddle(my favourite song)

Here's some of mine

"Do you like the dark, do you like the way it moves, do you come alive when neon kills the sun" - DIO, "Night People"

"Welcome to sundown, welcome to the dark, could be that evil has heroes" - DIO, "Turned to Stone"

"All's well at the midnight hour, you're ready to fly, don't think about the darkness, or the rumbling in the sky. Up ahead on the morning road, just waiting for you, some things that just could never be are calling out a spell so you can see" - DIO "Dream Evil"

 

[Luckycat1]

Here one from left field.
From an old Fred Astair movie.
the song: Dancing in the dark
Not about dancing, but about the meaning of life.

"Dancing in the dark, till the tune ends,
were dancing in the dark, and it soon ends,
Were waltzing in the wonder of why were here,
time hurries by my dear, and goes."

 

[Ticklekiller1]

"There must be some kind of way out of here!" said the the joker to the thief. "There's too much confusion! I can't get know relief!" -All along the Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix.

 

[naveltkltr1350]

yes there were times, im sure you knew, when i bit off more than i could chew, but through it all, where there was doubt, i ate it up and spit it out. I faced it all, and i stood tall and did it my way- my way, Frank Sinatra

never asked for nothin I don't demand of myself
Honesty, loyalty, friends and then wealth
Death before dishonor and I tell you what else
I tighten my belt 'fore I beg for help
Foolish pride is what held me together through the years
I wasn't felt which is why I ain't never played myself
I just play the hand I'm dealt, I can't say I've never knelt
before God and asked for better cards at times to no avail
But I never sat back feelin sorry for myself
If you don't give me heaven I'll raise hell -justify my thug, Jay Z

"Beaten, Fallen Angel...but I've risen again." - Iron Maiden

[nessonite1]

"Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
Well she tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah...

Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

-two of my favorite lyrics from "hallelujah" Jeff Buckley

"I wrapped you inside my coat
When they came to firebomb the house
I didn't feel pain, 'cause no one can touch me
Now that I'm held in your spell"

Radiohead - Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong


"I jumped in the river and what did I see?
Black-eyed Angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the figures i used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt"

Radiohead - Pyramid Song

--
Often they blow ya top, watch when they hold ya jock,
Shocked when the notch sold crotch and you lost composure,
Soft for the hoes ya not stocked fulla roll ya walk for the
Hot shot rent-a-cop and do lots of dosha,
She devil her greed level is hella high,
Speed rebel exceed pedals with a devils eye,
They call girl and strip, they all twirl and trip, in yall world
They dip, and all thorough and hip,
Hustlers they sluts and drug smugglers,
Money they double up throw that stuff up and bubble up,
Best believe when I get ya I'm bout to strap it down,
Cause wadata Imma tippy-toe on ya capitown,
I go to have it now, TECH N9NE it's a habit,
Got to stab it, I'm savage hound,
She devils are incredible out for thy dough,
At her crilla is scrilla X and tapes of Taebo, yo

Hmm, I wonder what that could be! 😉

 

[MistressValerie1]

These passages from "Los Angeles is Burning" by Bad Religion seem very apt to the times in which we are living:

This is not a test
Of the emergency broadcast system
Where malibu fires and radio towers
Conspire to dance again
And I cannot believe the media Mecca
They're only trying to peddle reality,
Catch it on prime time, story at nine
The whole world is going insane

When the hills of los angeles are burning
Palm trees are candles in the murder wind
So many lives are on the breeze
Even the stars are ill at ease
And los angeles is burning

A placard reads
"the end of days"
Jacaranda boughs are bending in the haze

More a question than a curse
How could hell be any worse?

 

[MayDay1]

"On the only piano
Wrote the fucking concerto
Shooting pool with your eyeballs
Wrack 'em up!"

-Tomahawk, "God Hates A Coward"

"But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
