Lyrics...

[Johnny Law Man]

What are the best song lyrics that you have ever heard?

Post them on here, so we can see what moves you...

One of my favorites:

There's a shadow just behind me/shrouding every step I take/making every promise empty/pointing every finger at me
Waiting like a stalking butler/who upon the finger rests/murder now the path called must we/just because the son has come
Jesus won't you f***ing whistle/something 'bout the past and done/Jesus won't you f***ing whistle something 'bout the past and done
Why can't we not be sober/just want to start things over/why can't we sleep forever/just want to start this over
I am just a worthless liar/I am just an imbecile/I will only complicate you/trust in me and fall as well/I will find a center in you/I will chew it up and leave/I will work to elevate you/just enough to bring you down
Mother Mary won't you whisper/something 'bout the past and done/Mother Mary won't you whisper/something 'bout the past and done
Why can't we not be sober/just want to start things over/why can't we drink forever/just want to start this over
I am just a worthless liar/I am just an imbecile/I will only complicate you/trust in me and fall as well/I will find a center in you/I will chew it up and leave
trust me/trust me/trust me/trust me
why can't we not be sober/just want to start things over/why can't we sleep forever/just want to start this over
I want what I want/I want what I want/I want what I want/I want what I want

WAR- Bob Marley

Until the philosophy which holds one race
Superior and another inferior
Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned
Everywhere is war, me say war

That until there is no longer first class
And second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes
Me say war

That until the basic human rights are equally
Guaranteed to all, without regard to race
Dis a war

That until that day
The dream of lasting peace, world citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion
To be pursued, but never attained
Now everywhere is war, war

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
That hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique,
South Africa sub-human bondage
Have been toppled, utterly destroyed
Well, everywhere is war, me say war

War in the east, war in the west
War up north, war down south
War, war, rumours of war

And until that day, the African continent
Will not know peace, we Africans will fight
We find it necessary and we know we shall win
As we are confident in the victory

Of good over evil, good over evil, good over evil
Good over evil, good over evil, good over evil

[IZAAK]

This song fits my life right now! It is the perfect lyric... (I'm not going to post the whole song, I just like this one line)

The Professor- Damien Rice


Loving is fine, if you have plenty of time
For walking on stilts at the edge of your mind!

[FanFromMichigan]

Holiday - Green Day

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armaggeddon flame
The shame
The ones who died without a name
Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery"
And bleed the company lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protester has crossed the line
To find the money's on the other side
Can I get another Amen?
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men
A gag
A plastic bag on a monument

The representative of California has the floor
Zieg Heil to the President Gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel Towers
Who criticize your government
Bang Bang goes the broken glass
Kill all the f*gs that don't agree
Trials by fire setting fires
Is not a way thats meant for me
Just cause - just cause we're outlaws yeah!

I begg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
This is our lives on holiday

Deftones -- Lhabia

Somewhere outside there are tricks and evil,
Holler downstairs while I drive.

I make a plan just to get you back,
You're bored doing what a girl does.
I want to watch you think,
Think again deep within.
Keep it deep inside while I serenade buttercup,
And it's a bad curse and what you need to do is burn again and bow slow again.
And how we'll do it again and again to make the best of a simple thing,
To be like this bound coming through the fog.

Dying of bordom I'll try it all,
Sixteen olive, skin bound by a voice.

I bleed within like the girl that can make them turn,
Don't want to go but I want it.
Too much blood to my stomache its because it's sick,
Pass by you -- break the bands between us.
I can dare to go but I'd never.
What you're scared to do is what you get,
It's never what you want to get.
Now to pray, your sigh is over like a doped drug like a voice,
Well at least you ****ing care.

Dying of bordom I'll try it all,
I'll feel faint like a crook.

God it looks and feels great but look at what its doing to you,
That's okay cause look at how it feels.
Goodbye -- Goodbye -- Goodbye.

Burning down it starts to stir again,
****ing heretic I've opened up this for me.
Like to stare up? I'll stack the bricks down.
Hurt you doing much working around too,
I can punch it through.
But the hair sticks, don't want to hurt you -- just want to **** you.
I'm out of time so I'll let you rest some,
I'll rely on me and still you will be fine.

Dying of bordom I'll try it all,
I'll feel faint like a crook.

God it looks and feels great but look at what its doing to you,
That's okay cause look at how it feels.

Sorry if the lyrics offend you, didn't mean to make it a big deal -- they're very dark, but it's one of my favorite songs of all-time so I had to put it up here.

A Perfect Circle - Judith

You're such an inspiration for the ways
That I'll never ever choose to be
Oh so many ways for me to show you
How the savior has abandoned you
(F**k/Thank) your God
Your Lord, your Christ
He did this
Took all you had and
Left you this way
Still you pray, you never stray
Never taste of the fruit
You never thought to question why

It's not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
Praise the one who left you
Broken down and paralyzed
He did it all for you
He did it all for you

Oh so many many ways for me to show you
How your dogma has abandoned you
Pray to your Christ, to your god
Never taste of the fruit
Never stray, never break
Never---choke on a lie
Even though he's the one who did this to you
You never thought to question why

It's Not like you killed someone
It's Not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side
Talk to Jesus Christ
As if he knows the reasons why
He did it all for you
Did it all for you
He did it all for you



As to the profanity, it has also been written as "thank", so if you dont like profanity, thats what its saying
Listen to in Windows Media Player

STORY OF MY LIFE by SOCIAL DISTORTION

High school seemed like such a blur,
I didn't have much interest in sports or
School elections.
And in class I dreamed all day,
About a rock 'n' roll weekend.
And the girl in the front of the room, so close yet so far y'know she never seemed
To notice
That this silly school-boy crush
Wasn't just pretend.
chorus:
Life goes by so fast, you only want to do what you think is right.
Close your eyes and then it's past;
(It's the) Story of my life.
And I went down to my old neighborhood,
The faces have all changed, there's no one left to talk to.
And the pool hall I loved as a kid
Is now a Seven Eleven.
I went downtown to look for a job,
I had no training, no experience to speak of.
I looked at the holes in my jeans
And turned and headed back.
chorus:
Life goes by so fast, you only want to do what you think is right.
Close your eyes and then it's past;
(It's the) Story of my life.
Good times come and good times go,
I only wish the good times would last a
Little longer.
I think about the good times we had
And why they had to end.
So I sit at the edge of my bed,
I strum my guitar and I sing an outlaw
love song.
Wonderin' bout what you're doin' now
And when you're comin' back.

Afternoon Delight
( Starland Vocal Band )

Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight
My motto's always been 'when it's right, it's right'
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night?
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day
And we know the night is always gonna be there any way

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try nibbling
A little afternoon delight
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

Please be waiting for me, baby, when I come around
We could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

Afternoon delight!

Wow these are great! Thanks Broncology for putting a Deftones tune up here. their lyrics are the best.

Something has to change/an undeniable dillema/boredemn no a burden anyone should bear/
Constant over-stimulation numbs me/but I wouldn't want you any other way
It's not enough/I need more/nothing seems to satisfy/I don't want it/I just need it/To breath to feel to know I'm alive
Finger deep within the border-line/tell me that you love me and that we belong together/relax turn around and take my hand
Love can help you change tired moments into pleasure/say the word and we'll be well upon our way/A blend and balance of pain and comfort deep within you/'till you will not want me any other way
It's not enough/I need more/Nothing seems to satisfy/I don't want it/I just need it/To breath to feel to know I'm alive
Knuckle deep inside the border-line/This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to/relax turn away
There's something kind of sad about the way that things have come to be/desensitized to everything/what became of subtlety
But how could this mean anything to me/when I don't feel a thing at all/yet, but I'll keep digging/ 'till I feel something
Elbow deep within the border-line/show me that you love me and that we belong together/shoulder deep within the border-line/relax turn around and take my hand

Immortal Technique Leaving the past

[Verse 1]
They told me I would never make it, I would never achieve it
Reality is nurishment, but people don't believe it
I guess its hard to stomach the truth like a bulimick
its a dirty game and nobody is willing to clean it
But this is for the paralygics, people dreamin' of runnin'
ladies married to men who dont please 'em, dreamin' of comin'
urbanly murderous like David Berkowitz when I'm gunnin'
Some cowards on the internet didn't think I would sell
scared to talk **** in person, cuz they stuck in a shell
and couldn't understand the pain of being stuck in a cell
Hell is not a place you go, if you not a christian
it's the failure of your lifes greatest ambition
It's a bad decision to blindly follow any religion
I don't see the difference in between the raw and the wrong
Soldiers emptyin' the clips at little kids and they moms
I'm just like a desperate mother****er strapped to a bomb
Humanity is gone, smoked up in a gravity bong
by a democrat republican Cheech and Chong
Immortal Technique, you never heard me preachin' a song
I'm not controversial, I'm just speakin' the facts
Put your hands in the air like you got the heat to your back
and shake your body like a baby born addicted to crack
And since life is a gamble like the crabstables at Vegas
I freestyle my destiny, it's not written in pages

[Verse 2]
I hate it when they tell us how far we came to be
as if our peoples history started with slavery
Painfully I discovered the **** they kept us secret
this is the exodus like the black jews out of Egypt
I keep it reality based wit the music I make
brought the truth to your face with the style I run wit

[Jared]

Queen - "You Take My Breath Away"

Look into my eyes and you’ll see I’m the only one
You’ve captured my love
Stolen my heart
Changed my life
Every time you make a move you destroy my mind
And the way you touch
I lose control and shiver........deep inside
You take my breath away

You can reduce me to tears with a single sigh
Ev’ry breath that you take
Any sound that you make is a whisper in my ear
I could give up all my life for just one kiss
I would surely die if you dismiss me from your love
You take my breath away

So please don’t go
Don’t leave me here all by myself
I get ever so lonely from time to time
I will find you anywhere you go
I’ll be right behind you
Right until the ends of the earth
I’ll get no sleep until I find you
To tell you that you just take my breath away

(solo)


I will find you anywhere you go
Right until the ends of the earth
I’ll get no sleep until I find you
To tell you when I’ve found you
I love you

Take my breath take my breath ... away

[Mat'hir Uth Gan]

Thats how I feel, Im down and out, the pains so real
Cut off at the pass, nowhere to go, fading so fast
Once a shining star, a fall from grace, lights seem so far
away, from where i was, the place to be, all lost because
I over stepped my bounds, who was I to reach, Now im making rounds
with nowhere to go, friends all lost, just people seldom known
But as i try to hold, few that i have, just repeatedly told
Im just not tough, lacking all the skills, Ive finally had enough

So I snap,
Breakdown,
They say the sky is the limit
but Im shackled to the ground
I step back
I look around
Dont like what I see
Rip my chains from the ground
Take off
Until the end
F*ck being held back
It won't ever happen again
Because I've snapped

Left out in the cold, battered and bruised, this hand ready to fold
good times pass so fast, shadows linger on, seperated from the past
No family to be turned, through the years, all bridges burned
Attempt to recollect, all my thoughts, just cant connect
to memories past stored, just wonder on, venturing toward
a future unknown, feather in the wind, just being blown
well of the common track, society's ideals, this deck is stacked
Cant take anymore, prepared to die, I prepare for war

So I snap,
Breakdown,
They say the sky was is limit
but Im shackled to the ground
I step back
I look around
Dont like what I see
Rip my chains from the ground
Take off
Until the end
F*ck being held back
It... wont... ever...

SO I SNAP-
BREAKDOWN-
STEP BACK-
LOOK AROUND-
TAKE OFF-
TILL THE END-
TRY AND HOLD ME BACK B*TCH-
IT WONT EVER HAPPEN AGAIN......
BECAUSE IVE SNAPPED (snapped) (snapped) (snapped) (sn...)

Welcome Home (Sanitarium) - METALLICA

Welcome to where time stands still
no one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, No windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred

Sleep my friend and you will see
that dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
can't they see it's why my brain says Rage

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Build my fear of what's out there
and cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
assuring me that I'm insane
They think our heads are in their hands
but violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
he's getting better, can't you tell?


No more can they keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
but they think this saves us from our Hell

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Fear of living on
natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it's such a friendly word
seems the only way
for reaching out again.


Disposable Heroes - METALLICA

Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end
No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all
Victim of what said should be
a servant `til I fall

Soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
just do as we say
finished here, Greeting Death
he's yours to take away

Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blindman

Barking of machinegun fire, does nothing to me now
sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow
More a man, more stripes you bare, glory seeker trends
bodies fill the fields I see
the slaughter never ends

Soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
just do as we say
finished here, Greeting Death
he's yours to take away

Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blindman

Why, Am I dying?
Kill, have no fear
Lie, live off lying
Hell, Hell is here


I was born for dying

Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say
had no chance to see myself, moulded day by day
Looking back I realize, nothing have I done
left to die with only friend
Alone I clench my gun

Soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
just do as we say
finished here, Greeting Death
he's yours to take away

Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blindman

Back to the front.

--- all along the watchtower ---

"There must be some way out of here" said the joker to the thief
"There's too much confusion", I can't get no relief
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth.

"No reason to get excited", the thief he kindly spoke
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late".

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
