    Default Your Favorite Lyric

    In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade
    And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him
    til he cried out in his anger and his shame
    I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains
    "The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind."
    -Humphrey Bogart

    "Sir, if you were my husband, I would poison your drink."
    -Lady Astor to Winston Churchill
    "Madam, if you were my wife, I would drink it."
    -His reply

    "If God had intended us to drink beer, He would have given us stomachs."

    I have a few:

    "The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful stop me, and steal my breath."

    "Honey, I fell asleep beneath the flowers, for a couple of hours...on a beautiful day..."

    "If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says - when she says she loves you"

    "He said son I made my life out of readin peoples faces, and knowin what the cards were by the way they held there eyes. So if you don't mind me saying, I can see you're out of aces. For a taste of your whiskey, I'll give you some advice...." That whole song basically.

    "I've been a bad, bad girl
    I've been careless with a delicate man
    And it's a sad, sad world
    When a girl will break a boy
    Just because she can."
    -Fiona Apple, Criminal

    "We could end up making love instead of misery."
    -Hinder, Get Stoned

    There are so many that I am forgetting.. I so much music... but I believe that by far the WORST lyric I ever heard was:

    "I'm hot cuz I'm fly.
    You ain't cuz you not."
    -Mims, This is Why I'm Hot

    um... duh. What a waste of a good beat. And sadly yes, I still jam to this.

    When I get what I want, then I never want it again - 'Violet' by Hole

    That sums me up so perfectly, it's crazy!

    I tried to pick out my favorite lines from Prince's Adore, but it's impossible- I love the whole song.
    Women of color:
    Shake your ass and preserve your heritage.
    Bang those fucking drums.
    Do it for the present and future generations.
    Have fun and stick it to the man at the same time.

    Wow, one of my fave lyrics is from a Hole song too...

    "If you live through this with me, I swear that, I would die for you" from "I Think That I Would Die".

    So far, nobody I've ever been with has lived up to this.

    Take a look around you; nothing's what it seems
    We're living in the broken home of hopes and dreams
    Let me be the first to shake a helping hand
    Anybody brave enough to take a stand
    I've knocked on every door on every dead-end-street
    Looking for forgiveness and what's left to believe

    When the world keeps trying to drag me down
    Gotta raise my hands, gotta stand my ground
    I say, hey
    Have a nice day
    Have a nice day

    ---Bon Jovi


    I can't say it's the top-of-the-line lyrically, but it's better than average. I can say it's at least better than neutral. He's not the one making the stand, but at least he's shaking the hand. Thank God for that.

    Is anyone else looking for something they can't find?

    Gotta say, Bon Jovi isn't doing bad. Their message makes up for anything else. They are beyond the ordinary for their make.

    They've got it goin' on. A big thumbs up!

    I wouldn't mind layin' my hands on him either lol. Maybe I could even convince him to fly

    Does he REALLY only aim to please? He's gotta be pullin' my strings..... *gasp*

    An angels smile is what you sell
    You promise me heaven, then put me through hell
    Chains of love got a hold on me
    When passions a prison, you cant break free

    Youre a loaded gun
    Theres nowhere to run
    No one can save me
    The damage is done

    Chorus:
    Shot through the heart
    And youre to blame
    You give love a bad name
    I play my part and you play your game
    You give love a bad name
    You give love a bad name

    Paint your smile on your lips
    Blood red nails on your fingertips
    A school boys dream, you act so shy
    Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye

    Youre a loaded gun
    Theres nowhere to run
    No one can save me
    The damage is done

    Chorus

    The most toasty messages under the sun. I can come and go and then again know they are there.

    There's nothing like a hot ass in black spandex.

    He goes too far ....

    but then there's that spandex. It's not redemption by any means, but at least he can play a role. I've been countin' his symptoms and wonderin' when he's gonna be addicted lmfao on the silliness.

    So you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking and racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older - shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
    Pink Floyd


    So we are told this is the golden age. And gold is the reason for the wars we wage.
    U2


    I've got something inside me, not what my life's about. 'Cause I've been letting my outside tide me over till my time runs out.
    Harry Chapin

    I'm sure there's some cheerful lyrics that I like somewhere.

    Playing in the dirt
    We find the seeds of doubt
    Don't water them with your tears
    Don't think about all the years
    You'd rather be without

    Eden let's me in
    I find the seeds of love
    And climb upon the highwire
    I kiss and tell all my fears

    Falling down the mountain
    End up kissing dirt
    Look a little closer
    Sometimes it wouldn't hurt

    Playing in the dirt
    We find the seeds of fun
    And we scream like alleycats
    Tearing down what we attack
    To prove that we are one

    Cutting through the night
    And we find the seeds of lust
    And loose our minds on one intent
    These passions never seem to end

    There's nothing wrong with kissing the dirt and smooching it as long as you know what it all means and you end up happy and proud and giving, and not taken advantage of . At some time you know what you are and you end up giving more than you receive. God bless the fact that I have something to give.

    Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you
    I'm still alright to smile
    Girl, I think about you every day now
    Was a time when I wasn't sure
    But you set my mind at ease
    There is no doubt
    You're in my heart now

    Said, woman, take it slow
    It'll work itself out fine
    All we need is just a little patience
    Said, sugar, make it slow
    And we come together fine
    All we need is just a little patience
    (patience)
    Mm, yeah

    I sit here on the stairs
    'Cause I'd rather be alone
    If I can't have you right now
    I'll wait, dear
    Sometimes I get so tense
    But I can't speed up the time
    But you know, love
    There's one more thing to consider

    Said, woman, take it slow
    And things will be just fine
    You and I'll just use a little patience
    Said, sugar, take the time
    'Cause the lights are shining bright
    You and I've got what it takes
    To make it, We won't fake it,
    I'll never break it
    'cause I can't take it

    (whistle)
    ...little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah
    need a little patience, yeah
    just a little patience, yeah
    some more patience, yeah
    need some patience, yeah
    could use some patience, yeah
    gotta have some patience, yeah
    all it takes is patience,
    just a little patience
    is all you need

    I been walkin' the streets at night
    Just tryin' to get it right
    Hard to see with so many around
    You know I don't like
    Being stuck in the crowd
    And the streets don't change
    But baby the name
    I ain't got time for the game
    Cause I need you
    Yeah, yeah, but I need you
    Oo, I need you
    Whoa, I need you
    Oo, all th
    is time
    (ah)

    Axl Rose isn't that bad.... lol he needs a girl. At least that's what this song says.

    Beautiful song. Makes you wonder if Axl really meant it. If he did, I can understand.

    All your twisted thoughts free flow
    To everlasting memories
    Show soul
    Kiss the stars with me
    And dread the wait for
    Stupid calls returning us to life
    We say to those who are in love
    It can't be true 'cause we're too young
    I know that's true because
    so long I was
    So in love with you
    So I thought
    -Flyleaf, "So I Thought"

    Hands and feet are all alike
    But gold between divide us
    Hands and feet are all alike
    But fear between divide us
    All slip away

    Down With The Sickness. By Disturbed....Make it out to what you want...i love it!

    Can you feel that?
    Ah, shit

    Drowning deep in my sea of loathing
    Broken your servant I kneel
    (Will you give in to me?)
    It seems what's left of my human side
    Is slowly changing in me
    (Will you give in to me?)

    Looking at my own reflection
    When suddenly it changes
    Violently it changes (oh no)
    There is no turning back now
    You've woken up the demon in me

    [Chorus:]
    Get up, come on get down with the sickness [x3]
    Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
    Get up, come on get down with the sickness
    You mother get up come on get down with the sickness
    You fucker get up come on get down with the sickness
    Madness is the gift, that has been given to me

    I can see inside you, the sickness is rising
    Don't try to deny what you feel
    (Will you give in to me?)
    It seems that all that was good has died
    And is decaying in me
    (Will you give in to me?)

    It seems you're having some trouble
    In dealing with these changes
    Living with these changes (oh no)
    The world is a scary place
    Now that you've woken up the demon in me

    [Chorus]

    (And when I dream) [x4]
    No mommy, don't do it again
    Don't do it again
    I'll be a good boy
    I'll be a good boy, I promise
    No mommy don't hit me
    Why did you have to hit me like that, mommy?
    Don't do it, you're hurting me
    Why did you have to be such a bitch
    Why don't you,
    Why don't you just fuck off and die
    Why can't you just fuck off and die
    Why can't you just leave here and die
    Never stick your hand in my face again bitch
    FUCK YOU
    I don't need this shit
    You stupid sadistic abusive fucking whore
    How would you like to see how it feels mommy
    Here it comes, get ready to die

    [Chorus (last line changed to "Madness has now come over me")]

    "The Job That Ate My Brain"

    Out of bed at 6:15 In a rush and you can't think
    Gotta catch the bus and train
    I'm in a rush and feelin' insane

    I can't take this crazy pace
    I've become a mental case
    Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain

    Go to work, it's such a drag
    Face the boss, he's such a nag
    In a suit and in a tie

    I look so late I wanna die

    I can't take this crazy pace
    I've become a mental case
    Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain

    I punch the clock at 9:05
    I know I'm late, but still alive
    Everyone just stares at me
    (I'm last in line for this party)

    I can't take this crazy pace
    I've become a mental case
    Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain

    Five o'clock rolls around
    I feel so glad I kiss the ground
    Ain't enough hours in the day
    There's go to be a better way

    I can't take this crazy pace
    I've become a mental case
    Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain

    I like the lyrics to these songs, both by Orgy:

    "Inside My Head"

    Every time you think of me like your goddamn trophy
    It just pushes me away
    Pushes me

    I never said I'd make you mine
    Why do you insist on pushing all the time
    I know it's not my vivid imagination
    Telling you lies
    Telling you lies

    It's funny how you found the time
    To expose yourself and be another one of these
    Psychos all around me
    Psychos all around me
    Like to say my head's not right
    My head's not right

    Medicated aren't we all
    Turning into you
    Got me crazed with what you do
    Inside my head there's a vision of you
    And nothing's changing
    Nothing's changing
    I want to run away
    And you say it's alright
    I want to run away

    Walk away
    Just go
    I think you're pushing, pushing me
    To seek and discover to notice you're different than all the rest
    Keeps telling me to ask why

    Would it really hurt you to leave me alone sometimes
    To seek and discover your genius uncovered
    Your pain
    Nothing's changing
    Nothing's changing

    Medicated aren't we all
    Turn me into you
    Got me crazed with what you do
    Inside my head there's a vision of you
    And nothing's changing
    Nothing's changing
    I want to run away
    And you say it's alright

    I want to run away
    Pushing me away
    Pushing me away
    Pushing me away
    Pushing me, pushing me
    Pushing me

    Medicated aren't we all
    Turning into you
    Got me crazed with what you do
    Inside my head there's a vision of you
    And nothing's changing

    Medicate it are we're all
    Turn me into you
    Got me crazed with what you do
    You do
    Inside my head there's a vision of you
    And nothing's changing

    Nothing's changing
    Nothing's changing

    Maybe it's not real
    It's all inside my head
    Maybe it's not real
    It's all inside my head
    And nothing's changing
    It's all inside my head
    And nothing's changing
    It's all inside my head

    "Beautiful Disgrace"

    I see the real you
    You put me in my place
    Close to perfection
    You're out of control; you're out of control

    Pardon me I feel the need to scream
    I'm ill Stuck in the chemical abyss
    I'm gripping at the walls around me
    Pardon me if I was laughing at the crimes
    I was laughing at the way you lie
    Tell me why
    All my lies come down to this

    'Cause I don't need friends who try to wrap me up in red tape
    Get 'em off my back they're dead weight
    In case you didn't catch my signs the first time let me tell you again

    All my life I tried to explain how I love myself to release the pain
    Anti-magnetic so quit your bitching, lying, crying
    Tell me why

    Lately inside I'm giving in to revenge
    Tell me why I'm in over my head
    Why I'm in over my head
    I'm in so deep that

    When I wake up I don't wanna know you
    Tell me my name again
    You're just a beautiful disgrace
    A beautiful disgrace
    A beautiful disgrace

    Come with me so I can show you how to live
    Burning the candle at both ends
    I'm gripping at the walls around me
    Don't complicate it
    I'm addicted to this life
    I'll be your token of attention
    All my lies come down to this

    Lately inside I'm giving in to revenge
    Tell me why I'm in over my head
    Why I'm in over my head
    I'm in so deep that

    Lately inside I'm giving in to revenge
    Tell me why I'm in over my head
    Why I'm in over my head

    I see the real you
    You put me in my place
    Close to perfection
    You're out of control

    I see the real you
    I saw through everything
    Close to perfection
    I saw through everything

    If I could take away this pain
    Just one more time, I might
    I saw through everything
    Tell me why I'm in over my head

    When I wake up I don't wanna know you
    Tell me my name again
    You're just a beautiful disgrace
    Such a beautiful disgrace
    Disgrace, disgrace
    You're such a beautiful disgrace
    You're so vain, vain, vain

    So grow your guilt from another vine
    I've given this enough time (lately inside I'm giving in)
    Grow your guilt from another vine
    I've given this enough time (lately inside I'm giving in)
    Grow your guilt from another vine
    I've given this enough time (tell me why I'm in)
    Grow your guilt from another vine
    I've given this enough time

    Grow your guilt you're a beautiful
    Disgrace, (disgrace, disgrace)
    Such a beautiful disgrace
    You're so vain, vain, disgrace

    "Wake me up before you go go."
    "He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!"

    There's no one left that I even wanna imitate

    and I wonder
    when I sing along with you
    if everything could ever feel this real forever
    if anything could ever be this good again
    the only thing I'll ever ask of you
    you've got to promise not to stop when I say when

    Foo Fighters-"Everlong"

    She shines in a world full of ugliness.
    She matters when everything is meaningless.
    Fragile, she doesn't see her beauty,
    She tries to get away.
    Sometimes it's just that nothing seems worth saving...
    I can't watch her slip away.


    The Fragile--Nine Inch Nails.

    Should I ever meet her, this is the song I will hear.

    If Heaven and Hell decide
    That they both are satisfied
    Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

    If there's no one beside you
    When your soul embarks
    Then I'll follow you into the dark

    Got your bag on your shoulder,
    Never thought once about thinkin' it over.
    Feel like you're the only one,
    Who's ever been in a bad situation.
    Now you need to take yourself a love vacation,
    'Cause after all, what's done is done.

    Sick and tired of being sick and tired.
    Everything around you's growin' old.
    The days drag on, the nights last forever,
    Every day's tougher just to keep it together.
    Forget everything you've ever known,
    Except for home.

    He made a promise he couldn't keep.
    I bet he's not losing a bit of sleep,
    Over how you're getting down the line.
    Now don't you fret, now don't you worry,
    Don't get in too much of a hurry,
    'Cause up ahead's that city limit sign.

    Sick and tired of being sick and tired.
    Everything around you's growin' old.
    The days drag on, the nights last forever,
    Every day's tougher just to keep it together.
    Forget everything you've ever known,
    Except for home.

    Home is where the heart is:
    That's what somebody once said. (Yeah.)
    I think your heart is where your love is:
    All the rest baby, the rest it's all in your head.

    Well, memories, they're over-rated:
    All they do is get you down an' frustrated,
    And who needs that on their back?
    Starting over, cold turkey,
    Washin' your soul of everything that's dirty.
    Seal your heart of every crack.

    You're no longer sick and tired.
    Everything around you feels brand new.
    Yeah. the days fly by, the nights could be longer:
    Every day you're just a little bit stronger,
    Now that you've spread your wings and flown,
    Back to home.
    Back to home.
    Back to home. (Home.)
    Yeah, back to home.
    (Back to home.)

    hold on, baby, you're losing it
    the water's high, you're jumping into it
    and letting go and no one knows
    that you cry, but you don't tell anyone
    that you might not be the golden one
    and you're tied together with a smile
    but you're coming undone

    And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water.
    He had spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower,
    and when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him
    He said "All men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them,"
    But he himself was broken, long before the sky would open,
    Forsaken - almost human -
    he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone.

    -- Leonard Cohen, from "Suzanne".

    I could quote dozens and dozens of Cohen's songs, actually. Along with Tori & Tom Waits, probably my favorite lyricist ever.

    It's true that all the men you knew were dealers who said they were through with dealing every time you gave them shelter. I know that kind of man, It's hard to hold the hand of anyone who's reaching for the sky just to surrender.

    And sweeping up the jokers that he left behind you'll find he did not leave you very much, not even laughter. Like any dealer he was watching for the card that is so high and wild he'll never need to deal another. He was just some Joseph looking for a manger.

    You hate to watch another tried man lay down his hand like he was giving up the holy game of poker. And while he talks his dreams to sleep you notice there's a highway that is curling up like smoke above his shoulder. It's curling up like smoke above his shoulder.

    From "The Stranger". And finally, from the one we all know oh so well - I prefer it sung by Jeff Buckley:

    Maybe there's a god above
    but all I ever learned from love
    Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew ya.

    And it's no complaint you hear tonight
    and it's not some pilgrim who's seen the light -
    It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.

    - "Hallelujah", of course.

    Sincerely,

    R. White

    "I just can't get over how much babies cry. I really had no idea what I was getting into. To tell you the truth, I thought it would be more like getting a cat." -- Anne Lamott
