Fave song lyrics
I will cut to the chase and then you can read the rest if you like.
Topic: Favourite( the Queen's English- lol) song lyrics Criteria: one line, one verse, one chorus, or the whole thing if neccessary Extra's: Having more than one ("equal favourite's is fine"). Any reasons as to why you like the lyrics, their importance to you etc..... Mine would be from Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here: "We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year." Don't know why I like these so much. I don't like to think it sums up my life....hmmmm.... Anyhow, I have to say that I really enjoy this forum. Alot of fun and interesting posts. I am a guitar player, albeit more of a hide in my basement and play like crazy guitar player for about 20 years. lol. I do get out occasionally to play mind you and I do write my own stuff so original material would be neat to see. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] |

Re: Fave song lyrics
Hard for me to do this, i guess i would put (among many others)
"And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually" Just reminds how fleeting life is. And how anything we think is real and concrete (and even amazing) eventually disappears (i guess "dust in the wind" emphasizes the same point). |

Re: Fave song lyrics
I love how this song changes the chorus slightly each time it's sung...first is the hopeful "I wish you believed in life," then the frustrated "I thought you believed in life," then, finally, the accepting "I wish you belief in life," almost like it's a blessing after all is lost and the relationship is over.
Plus, the obscenity at the very end gives the song its final "oomph," the knowledge that even though the singer is trying to let go and be above it all, she's still incredibly hurt and frustrated that it didn't work out. Amazing song. (Believed You Were) Lucky by Aimee Mann So i guess i'll give it up Yeah i guess i will What's the use in pushing When it's all uphill I can't be appointed Keeper of the flame Without two to carry It won't burn the same - oh It seems obvious to me But then again Could be You just never felt that way Chorus I wish you believed in life Believed in fate Believed you were lucky And worth the wait 'cause life could be lovely Life could be so great It gets so embarassing So i acquiesce And i'll change my mind again You change your address - oh It seems logical to me But then again Could be i was simply not that smart Chorus: I thought you believed in life Believed in fate Believed you were lucky And worth the wait 'cause life could be lovely Life could be so great Bridge: There must be some other door that they are saving Behind which my happiness lies I won't be wasting my words To tell you hopes that i had - We can just leave it alone for now Chorus: I wish you: belief in life Belief in fate Belief you are lucky And worth the wait 'cause life could be lovely Life could be [censored] great. |

"Everyday should be a good day to die" - You never know
Fav is from Dave Matthews Band, ever since I heard this one line, I've been trying to live my life with as much happiness as I, myself, can make. "Don't let the troubles in your head Steal too much time you'll soon be dead So play" The lyrics to Don't Fear the Reaper is up there too. Definatley don't need to post 'em, I'm sure ya'll have heard that song. |

Re: Fave song lyrics
there's about a thousand Townes Van Zandt lines I could paste - his lyrics were like poetry -
"for a gambler likes his women fancy fancy she would be and the fire of her longing would keep way the cold and her dress was a sight to see" - St. John the Gambler "Well, I sometimes went hungry with my pockets all bare Lord, I sometimes had good luck with money to spare" - My Proud Mountains "Being born is going blind and buying down a thousand times to echoes strung on pure temptation Sorrow and solitude these are the precious things and the only words that are worth rememberin'" - Nothin' "My days, they are the highway kind they only come to leave" - Highway Kind "Spring only sighed summer had to be satisfied fall is a feelin' that I just can't lose." - Flyin' Shoes "If I had a nickel I'd find a game If I won a dollar I'd make it rain If it rained an ocean I'd drink it dry And lay me down dissatisfied" - Rex's Blues |

Bob Dylan
It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) The reason i like the lyrics is that it sums up the human experience more then any song i have ever heard. I would post the lyrics but it would take up a whole page, and i wouldn't want to cut any so here it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bjqY...F&index=43 |

"I Want You" Elvis Costello
While it's a depressing song, it does a great job of articulating the frustration/anger/impotence of having ended a relationship unwillingly, and the mean twists of imagination that result. The repetition of "I want you," the minimal guitar composition and the way Elvis' voice occasionally cracks really help bring it home. I couldn't find a decent version of Elvis singing it after a quick search, but Fiona Apple did a very good cover of this song with Elvis playing guitar here I want you Oh my baby baby I love you more than I can tell I dont think I can live without you And I know that I never will Oh my baby baby I want you so it scares me to death I cant say anymore than I love you Everything else is a waste of breath I want you Youve had your fun you dont get well no more I want you Your fingernails go dragging down the wall Be careful darling you might fall I want you I woke up and one of us was crying I want you You said young man I do believe youre dying I want you If you need a second opinion as you seem to do these days You can look in my eyes and you can count the ways I want you Did you mean to tell me but seem to forget I want you Since when were you so generous and inarticulate I want you Its the stupid details that my heart is breaking for Its the way your shoulders shake and what theyre shaking for Its knowing that he knows you now after only guessing I want you Its the thought of him undressing you or you undressing I want you He tossed some tatty compliment your way I want you And you were fool enough to love it when he said I want you I want you The truth cant hurt you its just like the dark It scares you witless But in time you see things clear and stark I want you Go on and hurt me then well let it drop I want you Im afraid I wont know where to stop I want you Im not ashamed to say I cried for you I want you I want to know the things you did that we do too I want you I want to hear he pleases you more than I do I want you I might as well be useless for all it means to you I want you Did you call his name out as he held you down I want you Oh no my darling not with that clown I want you Youve had your fun you dont get well no more I want you No-one who wants you could want you more I want you Every night when I go off to bed and when I wake up I want you I want you Im going to say it once again til I instill it I know Im going to feel this way until you kill it I want you I want you |

The Smiths - Hand in Glove.
Hand in glove The sun shines out of our behinds No, it's not like any other love This one is different - because it's us Hand in glove We can go wherever we please And everything depends upon How near you stand to me And if the people stare Then the people stare Oh, I really don't know and I really don't care Kiss My Shades Hand in glove The Good People laugh Yes, we may be hidden by rags But we've something they'll never have Hand in glove The sun shines out of our behinds Yes, we may be hidden by rags But we've something they'll never have And if the people stare Then the people stare Oh, I really don't know and I really don't care Kiss My Shades ... oh ... So, hand in glove I stake my claim I'll fight to the last breath If they dare touch a hair on your head I'll fight to the last breath For the Good Life is out there somewhere So stay on my arm, you little charmer But I know my luck too well Yes, I know my luck too well And I'll probably never see you again I'll probably never see you again I'll probably never see you again Oh ... |
