Your favorite Lyrics

Post by Bandalero »

Alright Cm'ers, this thread we'll be discussing our favorite lyrics, why you love them, and what song they came from.

for example: Hank Williams Jr - Family Tradition

"Hank, Why do you drink?
crowd : GET DRUNK!!!
Hank, Why do you roll smoke?
crowd: GET STONED!!!!
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
crowd: CAUSE I WROTE IT!!! <---a million different lines here
Leave me alone i'm singing all night long it's a family tradition"

simply put, this song is awsome while your at the bar and the crowd of rowdies answers the questions.
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.


Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

My favorite lyrics of all time:

"Take this gasoline tin, head up high, walk like a winner, let the bare feet be the last sounds that they hear" - OLP OMA, of course

and...

"Ronald Reagan fought star wars, but he'll never be Han Solo" - from Something Corporate - Babies of the 80s

and...

"Let's get drunk, you can drive us to the harbor, wish upon a star but do you know what stars are? Balls of fire, burning up the black space, falling from the landscape, exploding in the face of God" - from Something Corporate - Down

I'll probably think of some more later, but these are my 3 favorites...I love the first one just because it's damn cool, the second because it's brilliantly clever and makes fun of Reagan, and the third because I'm an astronomy major and I think it's beautifully put.

Let the bare feet be the last sounds that they hear...

Mine mostly end up as my MSN names. :lol:

Lots of stuff from Fall out Boy and Panic! end up there. "Try to forget how you feel inside" "Give us this daily dose of faux affliction" "This was no accident, this was a thereputic chain of events" "your a regular decorated emergancy" "Give me envy, give me malice, give me your attention" (haha like the last 3 are from the same song) "I'm all ears and I'm all scars" "Finnigan begin again" "Speak now or forever hold your peace in pieces" "Its mind over you don't matter" "I'm so glad that I'm an island" "Hold on children, your best frineds parents are leaving" "This poison comes instruction free. Do what you want, but I'm drinking" "You're the echo's of my everything, you're the emptyness the whole world sings at night" "Every sunday morning there's an early warning to the way we are"

I'ma stop now.
-Sarah

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.
