Red05 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 What is your favourite lyric from a song? I mean a particular line or couple of lines that you really like. I like the following... "I feel his hand on my brain, when i write rhymes i go blind and let the lord do it's thing!" - Tupac - Ghetto Gospel. Obviously it's better with the music, but that's my choice. I love the rhyme and it puts a powerful picture in my head. What's your favourite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inno Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Couple of Thunder lyrics: You Can't Live Your Life In A Day I said don't you believe in tomorrow? Because today's just a scene in the play You might get some bad breaks and you'll make your mistakes But you can't live your life in a day A Better Man Once in a while, I drift in time To a place in my memory that it still hurts to find I was taking on the world with a see through smile But dying on the inside all the while AC/DC - Sin City Ladders and snakes Ladders give, snakes take Rich man, poor man, beggarman, thief Ain't got a hope in hell, that's my belief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemsi Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 'I am what I am' by Gloria Gaynor. I love that song too much I think. 'Somewhere there is an angel watching over your life Sometimes there is a silence somewhere a face in the light' from a song called Inside of you by Alice Martineau. She was a brilliant singer, and in a way I will always look up to her, with the ammount she managed to acheive with just 30 years of life.

Evil Gringo Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 For its pure surreal greatness... This little bit of Mars Volta's 'Roulette Dares (the haunt of)' has a place in my heart... Specter will lurk Radar has gathered Midnight nooses from boxcar cadavers For pure insane happiness through depression try 'Headfirst For Halos' by My Chemical Romance... Well let's go back to the middle of the day that starts it all I can't begin to let you know just what I'm feeling And now the red ones make me fly And the blue ones help me fall And I think I'll blow my brains against the ceiling And as the fragments of my skull begin to fall Fall on your tongue like pixie dust just think happy thoughts And for the horrors that men cause other men... 'Angel Of Death' by Slayer... the whole damn thing... F**k you Nazi Germany... Auschwitz, the meaning of pain The way that i want you to die Slow death, immense decay Showers that cleanse you of your life Forced in Like cattle You run Stripped of Your life's worth Human mice, for the angel of death Four hundred thousand more to die Angel of death Monarch to the kingdom of the dead Sadistic, surgeon of demise Sadist of the noblest blood Destroying, without mercy To benefit the aryan race Surgery, with no anesthesia Fell the knife pierce you intensely Inferior, no use to mankind Strapped down screaming out to die Angel of death Monarch to the kingdom of the dead Infamous butcher, Angel of death Pumped with fluid, inside your brain Pressure in your skull begins pushing through your eyes Burning flesh, drips away Test of heat burns your skin, your mind starts to boil Frigid cold, cracks your limbs How long can you last In this frozen water burial? Sewn together, joining heads Just a matter of time 'til you rip yourselves apart Millions laid out in their Crowded tombs Sickening ways to achieve The holocaust Seas of blood, bury life Smell your death as it burns Deep inside of you Abacinate, eyes that bleed Praying for the end of Your wide awake nightmare Wings of pain, reach out for you His face of death staring down, Your blood running cold Injecting cells, dying eyes Feeding on the screams of The mutants he's creating Pathetic harmless victims Left to die Rancid angel of death Flying free Angel of death Monarch to the kingdom of the dead Infamous butcher, Angel of death Angel of death Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I have one simple lyric that never fails to bring a smile to my face. Its from the classic track that is Pinball Wizard by The Who, and it goes like so: Pinball Wizard there has to be a twist A Pinball Wizard's got such a supple wrist Ever since i first heard that lyric it made me laugh, and it will do so until the day i die!

Proudy Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I know its only meant to be afew lines but.... Well, I'm rumblin' in this JCB. I'm 5 years old and my dad's a giant sitting beside me. And the engine rattles my bum like berserk While we're singin, 'Don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work!' My dad's probably had a bloody hard day But he's been good fun and bubblin and jokin' away And the procession of cars stuck behind are gettin all impatient and angry, but we dont mind. An' we're holdin up the bypass oh Me and my dad havin a top laugh oh woah Sittin on the toolbox oh And I'm so glad I'm not in school, boss So glad I'm not in school Oh no... And we pull over to let cars past And pull off again, speedin by the summer green grass And we're like giants up here in our big yellow digger Like zoids, or transformers, or maybe even bigger And I wanna transform into a Tyrannosaurus Rex! And eat up all the bullies and the teachers and their pets And I'll tell all my mates that my dad's B.A. Baracus Only with a JCB and Bruce Lee's nunchuckas And We're holdin up the bypass Weh Oh Me and my dad havin a top laugh Weh Oh weh oh Sittin on the toolbox Weh Oh And I'm so glad I'm not in school, boss So glad I'm not in school And we're holdin up the bypass Weh Oh Me and my dad havin a top laugh Weh Oh I'm sittin on the toolbox Weh Oh And I'm so glad I'm not in school, Boss So glad I'm not in school - Said I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB. I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB. I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB. I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round And we're holdin' up the bypass Weh Oh Me and my dad havin a top laugh Weh Oh And I'm sittin on the toolbox oh And I'm so glad I'm not in school, Boss So glad I'm not in school I said I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB. I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his Aw, I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB.

Red05 Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 Listening to Green Day now and have just heard a line that i think tops the Tupac one... "It didn't say much but it only confirmed, that the centre of the Earth is the end of the world." I do like that one. Billie Joe can write some very moving lyrics when he wants to.

The Godfather Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 "Hurt" as sung by Johnny Cash; Written by Trent Reznor I hurt myself, today, To see if I still feel. I focus on the pain, The only thing thats real. The needle tears a hole, The old familiar sting. Try to kill it all away, But I remember everything. {Chorus} What have I become? My sweetest friend? Everyone I know, Goes away in the end. And you could have it all. My empire of dirt. I will let you down. I will make you.....hurt. I wear this crown of thorns, Upon my liars chair. Full of broken thoughts, I cannot repair. Beneath the stains of time, The feelings disappear. You are someone else. I am still right here. {Chorus} If I could start again, A million miles away. I would keep myself, I would find a way..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twig Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I think Brandon Boyd of Incubus is an amazing lyricist. He can make things work that nobody else would consider.
