I'll start.

'Think i lost my girl
but i'll run it off.
Spending most my time,
Forgetting at all costs.

Found a midnight sound,
Found i love this town.
Strange you feel so low,
Then you feel so high'

Quite a long one but i love its simplicity.

'You!
I wanna take you to a Gaybar!
I wanna take you to a Gaybar!
Gaybar!
Gaybar!
Woooooo!'
Judge me not fellow Dakkanaughts lest ye be judged in turn...

I was serious. That's my favorite song...
I love Electric Six. Have all their albums, 2 t-shirts and went to see them live in Oxford in December... still have the ticket too...

They're good, the song 'i'm the bomb' is a personal fave.

I once knew a girl
In the years of my youth
With eyes like the summer
All beauty and truth

In the morning I fled
Left a note and it read
Someday
You will
be loved

Perkustin wrote:They're good, the song 'i'm the bomb' is a personal fave.

Indeed, not my favorite but it's a good one...

This has always been one of my favorites.
Sleeping?
Are you sleeping? Still dreaming? Still drifting off alone... I'm not leaving with this feeling So you'd better best be told And how in the world did you come To be such a lazy love?
It's so simple, and fitting The path that you are on We're not talking, there's no secrets There's just a note that you have gone And all that you've ever owned Is packed in the hall to go
And how am I supposed to live without you
A wrong word said in anger and you were gone
I'm not listening for signals It's all dust now on the shelf Are you still working? Still counting? Still buried in yourself? And how in the world did we come To have such an absent love?
And how am I supposed to live without you? A wrong word said in anger and you were gone And how am I supposed to live without anyone?
And how in the world did you come To be such a lazy love? And where did you go?

Then this song to chipper up the mood
If you don't like reading


Ooooh ooooh
It's a cold night
Beneath the street lights
There's a man whose pants are too tight
Oh no, his pants are too tight
(My pants are too tight!)

He stands there
An empty stare
Trying to make enough money for his cab fare home
He'll have to walk home tonight
(Don't have enough for the ride)

The streets are cruel
He tries to act cool
He goes to work with only his one tool
You can put away your tool, Jemaine!

You don't have to be a Prostitute
No no no no no
You can say no to being a man-ho
A male gigalow
You don't have to be a Prostitute
No no no no no
You can say no to being a night-looker, a boy-hooker a rent-boy bro-ho

He cannot see his way out
(I cannot my way out)
He can't see his way out
(Male prostitution seems to be my only option)
He can't see his way out
(I cannot see my way out)
He can't see his way out
No no no no no

He's selling cheap thrills
To pay expensive bills
But check your resume
You must have some other skills
Do you have any other skills
Like typing?

They see him, wanting to please them
Wanting to play him, but they don't even pay him
Oh no no
They don't think he's worth it at all

Though they are no one
He tries to bring them home
Maybe it'd be ok if he lived alone
Ooh you have a roommate, Jemaine
Don't bring them home

You don't have to be a prostitute
No no no no no
You can say no to being a man-ho
A male gigalo
You don't have to be a prostitute
No no no no no
You can say no to being a night-looker, a boy-hooker a rent-boy bro-pro

"And all the boys in the straight edge scene are in the basement huffing gasoline" (My love for leftover crack is insane)

"My baby's in the graveyard
she's waiting for me up there
thinking of her real hard
thinking of the graveyard!

In the back of a hearse
is where I met her first
with the sexy scent
in her coffin bed

The skin is so cold
but the love is warm
and I will bring her back
from beneath the earth! "

One of my all-time favorite songs about war and its effects on soldiers. And by a heavy metal band like Avenged Sevenfold, no less.

Hard to say my favorite line from the song, so I guess I'll just go with the chorus and the closing lines.

"Fight for honor, fight for your life.
Pray to God that our side is right.
Though we've won, I still may lose
Until I make it home to you.
I see our mothers filled with tears,
Grew up so fast where did those years go?
Memories won't let you cry
Unless I don't return tonight."

"Walk the city lonely
Memories that haunt are passing by
A murderer walks your streets tonight
Forgive me for my crimes.
Don't forget that I was so young
Fought so scared
In the name of God and Country."

It's really a surprisingly beautiful song, and always brings a tear to my eye.

Another of my my favourites:

'My Father, Mother, Love me both'

I actually nearly cried when i first heard it because it was so Poignant at the time.

BTW its by the same artist as my first lol.

Edit: The song is about being a drugged up failure lol.

I gotta go with these

hey, make this right man,
stop at the light man,
my yester night thang got me hung off the night train
you fade, i face
so let's head to da east
hit the stroll to 9-0 so we can roll big, hot sheets
I wish I could fade the ache
but I'm no budget,
still rollin a 2 door cutglass, same 'ole bucket
foggy windows, soggy Indo,
I'm in tha land gettin smoked wit my kinfolk
been smoked,
yuk'll, the sprayer lay it down,(yuk stands for yukmouth)
up in the OAK the Town
homies don't play around,
we down to blaze a pound
then eaz up,
speed up through the ESO drink the V.S.O.P.
P up with the lemon squeeze up
and everybody's rolled up, I'm da rolla
that's quick to fold a blunt out of a buncha sticky dosia
hold up, suck up my weed as all you do
kick in feed, cause where I be's we need tab like a foo-foo

Da Luniz - I got 5 on it.

I could fill pages on my own for this!

"All the world's indeed a stage
We are merely players,
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage"

"Every single thing I ever hope to see
I held in my hands in the hope I never turn
Into the man I'm expected to be
And what you hold in your hands is lost to memory"

"All my days won't be dances of delight when I'm gone
The sands will be shifted from my sight when I'm gone
I can't add my name into the fight when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

I won't be laughing at the lies when I'm gone
I can't question how, when or why when I'm gone
I can't live proud enough to die when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here"

Once a benevolent president tears open your cheek a tongue will come flopping out.
It will lay on the ground licking slush off our frozen streets.
Then it will die.
Your love curdled already besides.
I'll kiss your head.
You won't see the smirk beneath my lowered eyes.
Nothing can get wise.
All of my children are carrying knives.

Nuclear Summer - Youngblood Brass Band

My all time favourite lyric. I can Identify with Lennon's feelings of alienation.

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out.
It doesn't matter much to me.

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.

No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can't, you know, 'tune in' but it's all right.
That is, I think it's not too bad.

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Always no, sometimes think it's me, but you know I know when it's a dream.
I think er no, I mean, uh yes, but it's all wrong.
That is I think I disagree.

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.

As much as I hate the Beatles:

You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be all right

There's a tesco on the sacred ground
Where I pulled her knickers down
While judas took his measly price
And st anthony gazed in awe at christ

I gave my love a goodnight kiss
I tried to take a late night piss
But the toiled moved so again I missed

The Pogues-Rain Street.

And now I'm floatin? right above my coffin as it closes
I look down and I see Sai as she's cryin? on my mama's shoulder
I look up into the sky as the gates of Heaven open
Something?s wrong, is this destiny or am I going home?

What will happen to my soul? Will I come back I don't know?
Will you meet me when it's over and you know?
You can meet me here in Heaven, don't you ever let me go
This love, this hate is burning me away

Some classic straight edge for ya!


you're got nothing good to say
about those who surround you
think twice about those words that kill
this goes out to you and your crew

you ate your words
you smoked your words
now i know the truth
a set of rules you laid down
expected me to follow
when i saw you forget your past
i knew the truth was shallow
you're living a lie

Some classic straight edge for ya!





i see you an the streets,you hide in your packs
you push and push and no one pushes back
it's time you own up to the things that you say
cuz judge is on the move and we're starting today

im bringing it down this hammer i've got
this ignorance has got to be stopped

you want to discriminate and show your stupidity
against people who are equal to you and me
if you want a great nation then we all must be free
and if you don't wise up consider judge your enemy

I'm bringing it down this hammer i've got
this ignorance has got to be stoped

a beer a joint like a gun at your head
the price that you pay is the blood that you bleed
the needle the track mark you're scared for life
you're week and you're hurt and you're gonna lose this fight

you drink and you smoke it and you say you feel fine
and you snort it and you shoot it and now it's melting its melting you mind

i'm bringing it down this hammer i've got
this ignorance has got to be stopped
Im bringing it dowm the hammers me and you
stay off the tracks cuz judge is comming through.

One man rode the way through the woods
Down to Asa bay
Where dragon ships had sailed to sea
More times than one could say
To see with own eyes the wonder
People told of from man to man
The God of all almightyness
Had arrived from a foreign land

The rumours told of a man
Who had come from the other side the seas
Carrying gold cross around neck in chain
And spoke in strange tongue of peace
He had come with strange men in armour
Dressed in purple shirts and lace
Smelling not of beer but flowers
And with no hair in face

And the bold man carrying cross
Had told all one of Asa bay
The God of all man woman child had come
To them all save
And to thank Lord of Heaven
One should build to God a house
And to save one's soul from Hell
One should be baptised and say vows

A man of pride with the Hammer told new God
To build his house on own
And spoke loud of the Gods of their fathers
Not too long time gone
The rumours said the man with a beard like fire
the Hammer in chain
By men in armour silenced was and by
Their swords was slain

Those who did not pay the one coin
[- From :http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/bathory-lyrics/one-rode-to-asa-bay-lyrics.html -]
Of four to man of new God
Whipped was twenty and put in chains then locked
By their neck to the log
And so all of Asa bay did build
A house of the cross
Every hour of daylight they did sweat
Limbs ached because faith does cost

And on the day two hundred
There it stood white to the sky
The house of the God of the cross
Big enough to take two dragon ships inside
all of Asa bay did watch
The wonder raise to the sky
Now must the God of the cross be pleased satisfied

Just outside the circle of the crowd
One old man did stand
He looked across the waters
And blotted the sun out of his eyes with one hand
And his old eyes could almost see
The dragon ships set sail
his old ears could almost hear
Men of great numbers call out Oden's hail

And though he did know already
Though he turned face towards sky
whispered silent words forgotten
Spoken only way up high
Now this house of a foreign God does stand
Now must they leave us alone
Still he heard from somewhere in the woods
Old crow of wisdom say
...people of Asa land, it's only just begun...

Friday! Friday!
Gotta get down...

I mean...

We're no strangers to love!
You know the rules and so do I!

I mean...

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know

I'm more on pop song lyrics.

mine. The One: Kylie Minogue


"The One"

Starlight shimmers everywhere
There's a certain something in the air
Can you feel what I feel in me?
It's in the air, electricity oh, oh

Glimmering under neon lights
I can see the look, that's in your eyes
Like a shooting star in a galaxy
Making its way to the heart of me

I'm the one
Love me, love me, love me, love me
I'm the one
Love me, love me, love me, love me
I'm the one
Love me, love me, love me, love me
I'm the one
Love me, love me, love me, love me

My pulse is racing and I'm feeling high
Never-ending starts tonight
When you do what you do to me
Come on and let yourself feel the need in me, oh, oh

Circling and we're getting close
Can you imagine, just suppose
It's a feeling that I need to know
Close to touch like Michelangelo

I'm the one
Love me, love me, love me, love me
I'm the one
Love me, love me, love me, love me
I'm the one
Love me, love me, love me, love me
I'm the one
Love me, love me, love me, love me

Can you hear me?
I'm connecting with you
Can you feel me?
I'll do anything to have you near me
I was wondering, will you reach me?

Can you hear me?
I'm connecting with you
Can you feel me?
I'll do anything to have you near me
I was wondering, will you reach me?

I'm the one
Can you hear me?
I'm connecting with you
Can you feel me?
I'll do anything to have you near me
I was wondering, will you reach me?

I'm the one
Can you hear me?
I'm connecting with you
Can you feel me?
I'll do anything to have you near me
I was wondering, will you reach me?

Oh gak, get your towels ready
It's about to go down
Everybody in the place hit the fething deck
But stay on your melon-fething toes
We running this, let's go

I'm on a boat, I'm on a boat
Everybody look at me
'Cause I'm sailing on a boat
I'm on a boat, I'm on a boat
Take a good hard look
At the melon-fething boat

I'm on a boat melon-fether, take a look at me
Straight flowing on a boat on the deep blue sea
Busting five knots, wind whipping out my coat
You can't stop me melon-fether, 'cause I'm on a boat

Take a picture, trick, I'm on a boat, bitch
We drinking Santana champ 'cause it's so crisp
I got my swim trunks and my flippie-floppies
I'm flipping burgers, you at Kinko's
Straight flipping copies

I'm riding on a dolphin, doing flips and gak
This dolphin's splashing, getting everybody all wet
But this ain't Seaworld, this is real as it gets
I'm on a boat, melon-fether, don't you ever forget

I'm on a boat and it's going fast and
I got a nautical themed, Pashmina Afghan
I'm the king of the world, on a boat like Leo
If you're on the shore, then you're sure not me, oh
Get the feth up, this boat is real

feth land, I'm on a boat, melon-fether
feth trees, I climb buoys, melon-fether
I'm on the deck with my boys, melon-fether
This boat engine make noise, melon-fether

Hey ma, if you could see me now
Arms spread wide on the starboard bow
Gonna fly this boat to the moon somehow
Like Kevin Garnett, anything is possible

Yeah, never thought I'd be on a boat
It's a big blue watery road
Poseidon, look at me, oh, all hands on deck
Never thought I'd see the day
When a big boat coming my way
Believe me when I say I fethed a mermaid

I'm on a boat, I'm on a boat
Everybody look at me
'Cause I'm sailing on a boat
I'm on a boat, I'm on a boat
Take a good hard look
At the melon-fething boat

ZOMG, you just reminded me of another great lyric from The White Album!:

She's well acquainted
With the touch of a velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane

The man in the crowd
With the multicoloured mirrors
On his hobnail boots

Lying with his eyes
While his hands are busy
Working overtime

The soap impression of his wife
Which he ate and donated
to the National Trust

Lennon was genius lyricist, pure and simple.

I personally like Blackbird:

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.


Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.


Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.


Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.


Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Yeah, Macca is great too, like. He wrote 'Eleanor Rigby'!

Interesting topic...

As i do enjoy a great lyrics, i tend to fall head over heels for the WAY the song is being sung. If the artist cannot convince me about what is being sung, I'm having a hard time fully enjoying what is being sung. (e.g. you don't sing out happily, that the love of your life left you - right?)

But a lyrics that gets me... Hmm...

Yeah, Blackbird was cowritten with Lennon, I belive. Eleanor Rigby is a great piece of writing too.

So...
When singing Gaybar.
The vocalist has to fully convince you that he does indeed wish to take you to a gaybar where he:
Wants to spend all your money
Put something in you
Declare you to be a super star
Start a nuclear war
