Favorite Song Lyrics

[nad7155]

"You've got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend
When I was down you just stood there grinnin'
You've got a lotta nerve to say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on the side that's winnin'"


First verse of this.

 

[Arctic]

You've got a whole lot of songs and some silly bars
They're like your children; You claim them, but they ain't really yours

 

[Gayligula]

craaaaaaaaawwling iiiiiiiin myyyyyyy skiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin

 

[CephalopodEnthusiast]

craaaaaaaaawwling iiiiiiiin myyyyyyy skiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin

Don't make make a fool of yourself.
Better think it over, baby, one more time.
Don't make make a fool of yourself.
Better get a grip before you lose your mind.

-Stacy Q - Don't Make A Fool Of Yourself

 

[Massif]

What determines a "Favorite Song Lyric" of mine really depends on how the vocalist is saying the words/lyrics.

Like in Madonna - Vogue where she says "Beauty is where you fiii-ind it. Not just where you, bump & grind it."

Is she implying Reah isn't a perfect beautiful waifu? FASCIST!

 

[MerriedxReldnahc]

Sing for the glory
Dream of yesterday
Just sing a song of love and joy
In your heart
-Drink the Blood of the Priest - Brocas Helm

Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?
-Children of the Grave- Black Sabbath

I heard them tell me that this land of dreams was now
I told them I had ridden shooting stars and said I'd show them how
-Over The Mountain- Ozzy Osbourne

We inject our women and rape all our drugs!
-Lords and Masters-GWAR

THIS DELI TRAY IS UNACCEPTABLEEEEEEE!
-Salaminizer- GWAR

Actually any given GWAR song has the best lyrics.

 

[AnOminous]

No one in the world
Ever gets what they want
And that is beautiful

Everybody dies
Frustrated and sad
And that is beautiful

TMBG

 

[Korilakkuma]

"Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say... Women... they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean... you'll know, you'll know"

"Carrickfergus"

I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Only for nights in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest ocean
The deepest ocean for my love to find

But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
Neither have I wings to fly
If I could find me a handsome boatsman
To ferry me over to my love and die

My childhood days bring back sad reflections
Of happy times spent so long ago
My childhood friends and my own relations
Have all passed on now like melting snow

But I'll spend my days in endless roaming
Soft is the grass, my bed is free
Ah, to be back now in Carrickfergus
On that long road down to the sea

I'll spend my days in endless roaming
Soft is the grass, my bed is free
But I am sick now, and my days are numbered
Come all you young men and lay me down

 

[ZepFloyd94]

"We satisfy our endless needs and
justify our bloody deeds,
in the name of destiny and the name
of God"
-The Last Resort-Eagles

"Hey goodbye all you punks.
Stay young and stay high.
Hand me my checkbook
and I'll crawl off to die.
Like a woman in childbirth grown ugly in a flash,
I've seen magic and pain.
Now I'm recycling trash."
-They're All In Love-The Who

 

[Anus]

I already mentioned Rush's lyrics, but on a more visceral level, Nine Inch Nails's "Hurt" (and also beautifully covered by Johnny Cash) is probably the most poignant song I have ever heard.

 

[ulsterscotsman]

After Aughrim's great disaster,
When our foe in sooth was master,
Twas you that first rushed in and swam the Shannon's boiling flood.
And through Slieve Bloom's dark passes
You led your gallowglasses,
Although the hungry Saxon wolves were howling for our blood.
And as we crossed Tipp'rary,
We raised the clan O'Leary
And drove a creagh before them, as their horsemen onward came.
With our spears and swords we gored them,
As through flood and light we bored them,
Ah, but Sean O'Duibhir an Gleanna, we were worsted in the game

Long, long we kept the hill-side,
Our couch hard by the rill-side,
The sturdy knotted oaken boughs our curtain overhead.
The summer's blaze we laughed at,
The winter snows we scoffed at;
And trusted to our long steel swords to win us daily bread.
Till the Dutchman's troops came round us,
In fire and steel they bound us.
They blazed the woods and mountains, till the very clouds were flame.
Yet our sharpen'd swords cut through them,
To their very heart we hewed them,
Ah, but Sean O'Duibhir an Gleanna, we were worsted in the game.

Here's a health to your and my King
The sovereign of our liking
And to Sarsfield, underneath whose flag we'll cast once more a chance.
For the morning's dawn will wing us
Across the seas and bring us
To take our stand and wield a brand among the sons of France.
And though we part in sorrow
Still Sean O'Duibhir an Gleanna,
Our prayer is 'God save Ireland and pour blessings on her name.'
May her sons be true when needed,
May they never fail as we did,
For Sean O'Duibhir an Gleanna, we were worsted in the game.

 

[Bogs]

"You've got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend
When I was down you just stood there grinnin'
You've got a lotta nerve to say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on the side that's winnin'"


First verse of this.

Ain't it just just like the night
to play tricks when you're
Trying to be so quiet
We sit stranded, but
We're doing our best to deny it
And Louise holds a handful of rain,
Tempting you to defy it

 

[Positron]

Dante's Prayer - Loreena McKennitt

Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

 

[AnOminous]

Ain't it just just like the night
to play tricks when you're
Trying to be so quiet
We sit stranded, but
We're doing our best to deny it
And Louise holds a handful of rain,
Tempting you to defy it

I'm glad Dylan got the Nobel Prize. It's about time they gave it to someone with a lifetime of undeniable achievement instead of some obscure asshole nobody ever heard of.

"Muir and The Master Builder" by Brian McNeil -- this is an epic song and I'm not posting the whole thing.

I asked the Master Builder, why did he make John Muir
From the seed of a man so hard and unforgiving?
A father who tried to use the Gospel to ensure
That his son's life would never be worth living

And the Lord's voice whispered on the high Sierra wind
From the mountains where the clear waters lie
Saying "Hold the bravest heart above the gravest of sins
And I'll show you how to make a hero rise"

"Leave Calvin and the Bible to the parish of Dunbar
Give a blind man back his eyes to find the brightest of the stars
And lead him to the altar of a better God by far
In the vale of the Redwood Cathedral"

"Carrickfergus"
I'll spend my days in endless roaming
Soft is the grass, my bed is free
But I am sick now, and my days are numbered
Come all you young men and lay me down

First two lines in the last stanza should be:

I'm drunk today, but then I'm seldom sober
A handsome (I sing "constant" instead) rover from town to town

 

[KingShadow-Sama!]

I'm listening to Sky Troops. Because that's the theme of the level in ShTH I'm playing.

EDIT: Wrong thread.

"I am, I am everyone everywhere anyhow anyway any will any day!
I am!
I am!
I am!

I AM!

Do it!
Do it!
Do it!
Do it!"

"The Meeting of the Waters" -- Thomas Moore

There is not in the wide world a valley so sweet
As that vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet
Oh the last rays of feeling and life must depart
Ere the bloom of that valley shall fade from my heart
Ere the bloom of that valley shall fade from my heart

Yet it was not that nature had shed o'er the scene
Her purest of crystal and brightest of green
'Twas not her soft magic of streamlet or hill
Oh No 'twas something more exquisite still
Oh No 'twas something more exquisite still

'Twas that friends, the belov'd of my bosom were near
Who made every scene of enchantment more dear
And who felt how the best charms of nature improve
When we see them reflected from looks that we love
When we see them reflected from looks that we love

Sweet vale of Avoca! How calm could I rest
In thy bosom of shade, with the friends I love best
Where the storms that we feel in this cold world should cease
And our hearts, like thy waters, be mingled in peace
And our hearts, like thy waters, be mingled in peace

 

[Kataomoi00]

Collapsing onto the cold grass
I want to hide my burning body

The mid-winter constellations are my lovers
(Because) I was always waiting...

My mood today is the absolute best
There's no despair and there's no hope
I want to become transparent like the sky

Having never met, we would not have fought
Or disillusioned ourselves

Like a knife, the wind
Will increase my speed
Take 5

No matter how I am, I'm happy
There's no success and there's no failure
I want to become transparent like the sky

Take off your coat and let's get in
There's no beginning and no ending
I want to live this day called 'today' honestly

Spoiler: Song gives me feels
