WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LYRICAL VERSE ?

THE CLASH > 48 HOURS


friday or saturday what does that mean?
short space of time needs a heavy scene
mondays coming like a jail on wheels

48 hours needs 48 (3x)
thrills
48 thrills

so tell me an' i'll take the tube
you know a girl, yeah well she's bound to be rude
can't get nothing at the places i've been

ive combed this town from top to bottom
i try to get around but my legs ar broken
everytime i miss it cos i aint got a ticket

48 hours needs 48 thrills
kicking for kicks
 
"my lifestyle determines my death style" - Metallica

"Hopeless and strung out, you wave yourself goodbye" Black Label Society

I have a million more, but that'll do for now.
 
Here's a thought for every man who tries to understand
What is in his hands?
He walks along the open road of love and life
Survivin' if he can

Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Chained to all the places that he never wished to stay
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow

Ain't no quarrels with God
Got no time to get old
Lord knows I'm weak
And won't somebody get me off of this reef?
 
All is cold and frozen.
Frozen the sea, frozen the sky.
Frozen is death, but I cannot die.
Cannot die.
As the falls.
To cover this all.
And all is cold.
And cold is all.
All is cold and cold is all.
Cold. Frozen.
Frozen is heaven and frozen is hell.
And I am dying in this living human shell.
I am a dying God, coming into human flesh.
I am a dying God. Frozen my heart.
Frozen my soul.
Frozen my love.
I am a dying God, coming into human flesh.

Hear Hear. My favorite Tallica song would be the one with no lyrics, the almighty "Orion"
The second would be " To Live is to Die" a song that was written (the music) by Cliff Burton. The lyrics
are from a poem written by German poet Paul Gerhardt.

They are:
When a man lies he murders
some part of the world
These are the pale deaths
which men miscall their lives
All this I cannot bear
to witness any longer
Cannot the kingdom of salvation
take me home
 
Too many... But the first one that came to my head was:

"If I should die elated, I'd become your pupil." From Drain You by Nirvana...

But really, I could probably post the entire library of Bob Dylan here... and quite a few NOFX songs... Such as:

"And you still believe this aristocracy gives a **** about you. They put the mock in democracy, and you swallowed every hook." From Regaining Unconciousness...

Edit: One more from Bobby D:

"Half of the people can be part right all of the time
Some of the people can be all right part of the time
But all of the people can’t be all right all of the time
I think Abraham Lincoln said that
“I’ll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours”
I said that"
 
There's one line I LOVE from Eagle's Victim of Love - the first two parts of it are

"Victim of love I see a broken heart
I could be wrong, but I'm not"

Mainly the "I could be wrong, but I'm not." Fits my attitude on many an occasion!

And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping, the moon tells me a secret. "My confidante, as full and bright as I am, this light is not my own. A million light reflections pass over me. Its source is bright and endless. She resuscitates the hopeless. Without her, we are lifeless satellites drifting."

And as I pull my head out, I am without one doubt. Don't wanna be down here, negative and blind and cynical. I must crucify the ego before it's far too late.I pray the Light lifts me out before I pine away.

Maynard James Keenan. Tool. Reflection.

Powerful. Profound. My philosopher.
 
I love this song and kinda dedicated to my Niece Amanda's memory

ANGELS WINGS > SOCIAL DISTORTION

you say your down on your luck
Hey baby its a long way up
Hold back,hold back your fears
You say your really down and out
And you feel like there's no way out
let go now let go of your tears some more

How many times have you told yourself?
is this the hand of fate now that I've been dealt?
Your so disillusioned this cant be real
And you cant stand now the way you feel

i dont care about what they say
i wont live or die that way
Tired of figuring things out on my own
angels wings wont you carry home?

Chorus
same as first verse

I triumphed in the face of adversity
and became the man i never thought I'd be
and now my biggest challenge,a thing called love
i guess im not as tough as i thought i was

i dont care what they say
* I'll see you again one day*
gonna wake up,its a brand new day

angels wings gonna carry you away (3X)

gonna carry us away (3x)


the highlighted verse i changed to suit my situation
and this song says much about being honest with your feelings

i truly know i will see her again one day , cant wait to catch up on things!!

thanks your friend Joe

Depends on mood.
"Several Species of Small, Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict"
comes to mind today, but is totally unprintable for reasons of spelling, as is "Jewish Princess" or "Briefcase Boogie" for reasons of propriety. :P

(Pink Floyd and Frank Zappa, respectivly)
