Favourite Lyrics

[Smashian Kassian]

For me its even individual lyrics sometimes. 

 

Alkaline Trio - Emma

"We watched the sun fall crown

In a city that sleeps - in a world upside down"

 

Alkaline Trio - Fatally Yours

"I don't hear from you no more, but I get the message

You crashed your car through my front door

I pulled you from the wreckage

You told me that you missed me, but you meant with the grill and hood

(You'd kill me if you could!)

 

If It's okay, I'll just pack my s*** & leave

I won't say one word, I'll keep my tricks up my sleeve

Flew off the handle, you opened fire on me

Put down, put me out of misery

I'm fatally yours"

 

Could list 20 from alkaline trio, Matt Skiba's an awesome songwriter. One of my fav bands.

Been listening to Bob Dylan's "The Freewheeling Bob Dylan" record. Love the line in "I shall be free" about JFK.

 

"When my telephone rang it would not stop, it was president Kennedy callin' me up

He said my friend Bob, what do we need to make a country grow?

I said my friend John, Brigitte Bardot, Anitka Ekberg, Sophia Loren"

At the moment:

 

 

Your daddy, he's an outlaw
And a wanderer by trade
He'll teach you how to pick and choose
And how to throw the blade

He oversees his kingdom
So no stranger does intrude
His voice, it trembles as he calls out
For another plate of food

[bishopshodan]

Die! die! die! die!
Scum sucking depravity debauched!
An@l f$%#-fest, thrill olympics
Savage scourge supply and sanctify
So what? so what?
Die! die! die! die!

Die! die! die! die!
You said it!
Sedatives supplied become laxatives
My eyes s#*t out lies
I only kill to know I'm alive
So what? so what?
Die! die! die! die!

Die! die! die! die!
So what, it's your problem to learn to live with
Destroy us, or make us saints
We don't care, it's not our fault that we were born too late
A screaming headache on the brow of the state
Killing time is appropriate
To make a mess and f*#k all the rest, we say, we say
So what? so what?
Die! die! die! die!

Die!
Now I know what is right
I'll kill them all if I like
I'm a time bomb inside
No one listens to reason,
It's too late and I'm ready to fight!
So what? now I'm ready to fight!

[smithers joe]

for me, it is;

the road is long, with many a winding turns

that lead us to who knows where, who know where.

but i’m strong, strong enough to carry him______yeah

he ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.

 

thats almost my motto.

[Bill Sikes]

Let It Be

The Beatles

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the broken-hearted people living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Yeah, there will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Simple, what are your favourite song lyrics?

 

I'm not asking which lyrics you think are the best, I'm asking if there is a specific song that you identify with or just love the lyrics.

 

I ask because lyrics from a song from the band Clutch just roll around in my head and the song came out back in 2005.

 

I don't know why but to me, if I had to pick one song, 'Burning Beard' has my favourite lyrics. I really connect with them and at the same time, not totally sure I understand them . Guess, to me it is an awesome poem/piece of art. 

 

Not interested in your opinion of the style of music, or the artist. Just the lyrics, no need to hear the track. I'm cautious talking about Clutch, for example, because not all Canucks fans enjoyed having Electric Worry (Vaminos) as our goal song. So, please no ' that band sucks' or ' your tastes suck' or 'that genre is lame'. Just your favourite the words put to music.

 

 

Burning Beard

 

Every day I wake up we drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN
Every day I wake up to a bowl of clover honey and let the locusts fly in
Lobsterbacks attack the town again
Wrap all my things in aluminium
Beams of darkness streak across the sky
Pink rays from the ancient satellite

Every time I look out my window same three dogs looking back at me
Every time I open my windows cranes fly in to terrorize me
The power of the Holy Ghost
The power of the Holy Ghost

Shadow of the New Praetorian
Tipping cows in fields Elysian
Saturnalia for all you have
The seven habits of the highly infected calve

Swan diving off the tongues of crippled giants
International Business Machine
Choking on bits of barley bread crumbs
Oh this burning beard I have come undone
Oh this burning beard I have come undone
It's just as I've feared, I have, I have come undone

Bugger, bugger, bugger dumb the last of academe
Occam's razor makes the cutting clean
Shaven like a banker, lilac vegetal
Break the glass ceiling and golden parachute on down
The power of the Holy Ghost comes to town
Remove the shadow of the New Praetorian
Tipping cows in fields Elysian
Saturnalia for all you have
The seven habits of the highly infected calve
The seven habits of the highly infected calve

 

 

Thanks, I had forgot about Clutch. A band I was with before played Electric worry.
