Favorite song lyrics

[Qyöt27]

Pick a memorable line from a song and post it. Those kind of one-off lyrics that tend to stick with you whether you remember the rest of the song or not, those that you find interestingly phrased, those with some personal connection, or just ones that stick out as hilariously bad, funny, awesome, whatever. Explanations of your picks aren't required, but you can share that too if you want, although it would be advisable to post the name of the song and the artist.

So to start,

"There's nothing in this world that I'd rather do
Than buy a set of wings and fly away with you"

(Sugar - "Gee Angel")

 

[PinkSweetart]

Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me

Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am for Your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity

I usually have a song lyric stuck in my head everyday, today it was that one.

Multiple people sing this song, but it's Called "Hosanna". The one I listened to was played by Starfield.

 

[Gwenyfur]

I wasn't always this way
i used to be the one with the halo
but that disappeared when i had my first taste
and fell from grace
it left me
in this place

well im starting to think
maybe you like it

i tear you down
i make you bleed
eternally
can't help myself
from hurting you
and its hurting me
i don't have wings
so flying with me won't be easy
cause im not an angel
im not an angel

Halestorm - I'm Not an Angel

 

[r035198x]

...
And I awake to find that I'm not homesick anymore
'Cause I'lll be home, where I belong
...

Home where I belong

 

[Gwenyfur]

Home where I belong

That's my mother's favorite...and "the lighthouse"...
Just a couple of the first souther gospels songs I learned to play...
Made her happy...and still does when I play them for her

 

[r035198x]

That's my mother's favorite...and "the lighthouse"...
Just a couple of the first souther gospels songs I learned to play...
Made her happy...and still does when I play them for her

Thanks, I suppose it's a good thing that I share music tastes with your mother.

Kind regards

"Well give your ID card to the border guard
Yeah, your alias says you're Captain Jean-Luc Picard
Of the United Federation of Planets
'Cause he won't speak English anyway"

(The Refreshments - "Banditos")

 

[yam]

If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you

And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine

 

[127.0.0.1]

Drop an don't copy yo, don't call this
a co-opt
Terror rains drenchin', quenchin' tha thirst of
Tha power dons
That five sided fist-a-gon
....
I walk tha corner to tha rubble that used to be a
library
Line up to tha mind cemetary
What we don't know keeps tha contracts alive an
movin'
They don't gotta burn tha books they just remove
'em

[MacFall]

When all those who've been convinced there's nothing else but this
Come to us and condescend, we know we won't miss emptiness.

Other memorable lyrics by RATM include sixteen repetitions of "F. YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME" at the end of "Killing in the Name Of".

 

[Scorponok]

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone

Tracy Chapman - Fast Car

 

[Gwenyfur]

Stare in wonder, who's here to bring you down?
Find your martyr, I'm sure you've made the crown
So light a fire under my bones, so when
I die for you, at least I'll die alone


All my heroes have now become ghosts
Sold their sorrow to the ones who paid the most
All my heroes are dead and gone
But down inside of me, they still live on


--excerpts from Shinedown - Heroes

 

[Qyöt27]

When all those who've been convinced there's nothing else but this
Come to us and condescend, we know we won't miss emptiness.

Project 86 - Molotov

Molotov is such an awesome song. It was solely on the quip in the review about it being "the best song the Mission never wrote nor performed" that made me preview it in the first place (after being directed to the album due to the cover of "Lucretia My Reflection" on The Kane Mutiny EP). Speaking of whom,


"Surrender to the wisdom of age and the spirits of time
Remember our souls entwined for eternity
And the healing hand of the fairy queen will come to all who have faith in her
And the apple tree will bear it's fruit in the gardens of Avalon
Forever and again"

(The Mission - "Deliverance"...it really does sound far more impressive in the context of the song itself)

 

[catzrfluffy]

He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords

-- A Day In the Life by The Beatles

Later

They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall

For its sheer cool imagery randomness and mention of the Albert Hall. He didn't notice that the lights had changed being my favourite.
Haha. How can he be so funny?

"I'm through with playing by the rules of someone elses game"- Wicked

"I've got friends in low places"- first country song I ever heard

"Put the pedal to the medal as the sun goes down
leave everyone sleeping in this sleepy town tonight
and at the break of day, I'll be a runaway"
-Runaway by Love and Theft

"If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?" - Pink Floyd, Another Brick In The Wall

 

[MacFall]

"If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?" - Pink Floyd, Another Brick In The Wall

That's not really a song lyric. It was more like a background effect.

Interesting note on that, though: if one watches the movie "The Wall", one will see that the meat mentioned is made of the ground up bits of the school's students.

Bump. Thought this thread was cool!
