Thread for quotes you got from a song

[alasdair]

if i die of vanity
promise me
promise me
they bury me someplace i dont wanna be
u'll dig me up n transport me
unceremoniously
away from the swollen city breeze
garbage bag trees
whispers of disease
n acts of enormity
n lower me slowly n sadly n properly
get ry cooder to sing my eulogy
at the hundredth meridian

 

[antiarte]

I'm so sick of therapy, and all the things it's done to me..
How can I be satisfied if everything is overrated!?

sometimes the faster it gets
the less u need to know
but u gotta remember
the smarter it gets
the further its gonna go

I too am lost, I feel double-crossed,
And I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right.

Roll, roll me away,
I'm gonna roll me away tonight.
Gotta keep rollin', gotta keep ridin',
Keep searchin' till I find what's right.
And as the sunset faded
I spoke to the faintest first starlight,
And I said, "Next time,
Next time we'll get it right.

Bob Seegar - Roll Me Away (great song)

the hinterland

"I've passed the limit and there's no way back
your kind of love gives me a heartattack..."


Midnight Rendezvous by John Waite

 

[christus]

"Homage he has from all - but none from me:
I batle it against his, as I battled in highest heaven - through all etrnity
And the unfathomable gulfs of hades, and the interminable realms of space
And the infinity of endless ages... all, all, will I dispute"

A scenery of loss by Draconian

For this I rend the weakest salient of thy diadem
As I, it's jewel and very metal shall reflect no more
Your light - the light of enslavement

Adonai, Elohim, El Shaddai...
Thou hast become the father of lies
And I serve thee, henceforth... no more

Both from Expostulation by Draconian.

Dead boy's poem by Nightwish

 

[rambot]

I've heard it once but it don't make sense
to build a wall where you shoulda put a fence
I've heard it twice you should not put me
where you put a fridge or a couch or a tv

What did the condemned say
to the blessed when they met on the path
oh you take the low road and I'll take the high for a laugh
- Augie March (great Aussi band!)

There's no such place
if i lower mine to yours would you kiss me on the face.
If you're looking for an unmarked place
there's no such place

oh the glory that the Lord as made
and the complications you can do without
when I kissed you on the mouth.
- Sufjan

I'm a big fan anytime a songwriter says "kiss me on the" and follows it with anything but lips

Did you really think, that this is what we need?
Well I'm dragging my feet.
(Avoiding sleep),
Trying to make you see,
It's reached the situation where it's the job or me,
"It's the job or me."

If you're asking me, then the job is part of me.

'Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans" - Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy), John Lennon

 

[white_frog914]

a chance for calm
a hope for freedom
outlet from my cold solitary kingdom
by the forest of our spring stay
where you walked away
and left a bleeding part of me
empty and bothered
watching the water
quiet in the corner
numb and falling through
without you what does my life amount to?

-Red House Painters 'Katy Song'

So I call up my preacher
I say, "Give me strength for Round 5."
He said , "You don't need no strength, you need to grow up son."
I said, "Growing up leads to growing old and then to dying...
"And dying to me don't sound like all that much fun."

The Authority Song, John Mellancamp
