Fave song lyric / 1 liner

[Haslerhasworms]

The Verve
Bitter Sweet Symphony:
'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony that's life / Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to money then you die..

' Like a cat in a bag waiting to drown'
Happy fella that Ashcroft

 

[Hacky McAxe]

Enough people have posted paragraphs instead of lines, so I'm going with that too.

Machine Head have many, many terrible songs, with many.. oh so many, terrible lyrics. But when they are on, they're on.

From Darkness Within:

Misery's forgotten chords
I strum in vain to please the Lord
But he has never answered me
My faith has waned eternally

In empty men who pass along
The woes of all religion's wrong
Now the shadowed veil it falls
Heed the clarion call

So pray to music, build a shrine
Worship in these desperate times
Fill your heart with every note
Cherish it and cast afloat

'Cause God is in these clef and tone
Salvation is found alone
Haunted by its melody
Music, it will set you free

 

[Alan79]

"In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey"

Not many better openings to a song than that.

From a very, very strange cat indeed.

I thought it was 'in a tribe of chimpanzees'

But yeah loved this song in my teenage years.

 

[Ewan McGrady]

And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday…..Me and Bobby McGee

with eyes that look like ice on fire….a human heart the captive in the snow……Sir Elton

always thought these were very poetic and clever!

[Ribo Flavin]

o hard to pick one line...

Little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got (you don't know what I got)
Little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
Well, I'm not bragging babe, so don't put me down (deuce coupe)
But I've got the fastest set of wheels in town (deuce coupe)
When something comes up to me, he don't even try (deuce coupe)
'Cause if I had a set of wings, man I know she could fly
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(My little deuce coupe)
(You don't know what I got)
Just a little deuce coupe with a flathead mill (deuce coupe)
But she'll walk a Thunderbird like she's standing still (deuce coupe)
She's ported and relieved, and she's stroked and bored
She'll do a hundred and forty with the top end floored
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(My little deuce coupe)
(You don't know what I got)
She's got a competition clutch with the four on the floor
And she purrs like a kitten 'til the lake pipes roar
And if that ain't enough to make you flip your lid
There's one more thing, I got the pink slip, daddy
And coming off the line when the light turns green (deuce coupe)
Well, she blows them out of the water like you never seen (deuce coupe)
I get pushed out of shape, and it's hard to steer (deuce coupe)
When I get rubber in all four gears
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(My little deuce coupe)
(You don't know what I got)
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got

[Ribo Flavin]

Scarecrow on a wooden cross blackbird in the barn
Four hundred empty acres that used to be my farm
I grew up like my daddy did my grandpa cleared this land
When I was five I walked the fence while grandpa held my hand
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow
This land fed a nation this land made me proud
And son I'm just sorry theres no legacy for you now
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow
The crops we grew last summer weren't enough to pay the loans
Couldn't buy the seed to plant this spring and the farmers bank foreclosed
Called my old friend schepman up to auction off the land
He said john its just my job and I hope you understand
Hey calling it your job ol hoss sure dont make it right
But if you want me to Ill say a prayer for your soul tonight
And grandmas on the front porch swing with a
Bible in her hand Sometimes I hear her singing take me to the promised land
When you take away a mans dignity he cant work his fields and cows
There'll be blood on the scarecrow blood on the plow
Blood on the scarecrow blood on the plow
Well there's ninety-seven crosses planted in the courthouse yard
Ninety-seven families who lost ninety-seven farms
I think about my grandpa and my neighbors and my name and some nights
I feel like dying like that scarecrow in the rain
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow
This land fed a nation this land made me so proud
And son I'm just sorry they're just memories for you now
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow.

Such are promises - all lies and jest! Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.

[Bazildog]

Always makes me laugh the last few lyrics in this song…

I couldn’t take it any longer
Lord, I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me
Like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god
And on my mother's grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore I'd love you to the end of time

So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do (ooh, ooh)
Praying for the end of time
So I can end my time with you

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Drop em' out

Shaddup your face

Being serious though
Passenger - Lifes for the living

"Well I'm sick of this town
This blind man's forage
They take your dreams down
And they stick em' in storage
You can have em' back son
When you've paid off your mortgage and loans.

Very relevant for most people these days.

Anal c unt I ate your horse
Your dad took out a second mortgage to buy you a horse
You loved it and took better care for it than yourself
You command it, cleaned it, and fed it apples every day
I was broke, drunk and hungry, so I killed your horse and ate it

I ate your horse
I ate your horse
I ate your horse
I ate your horse


When you came to the stable next morning
You found a pile of hair, teeth and hooves
I hid around the back to listen to you cry
Then I beat an old lady to death with the leg bone

I ate your horse

I hid around the back to listen to you cry
Then I beat an old lady to death with the leg bone

I never picked you to be a Wiggles fan
