Favorite lyric from a song.

Then I took out my razor blade
Then I did what God forbade
Now the cops are after me
But I proved that I'm no sissy

Ramones - 53rd and 3rd

Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain; and all the children are insane…

Jim Morison

In the end we're all just chalklines on the concrete
Drawn only to be washed away
For the time that I've been given
I am what I am

Five Finger Death Punch - Never Enough

Given that true intellectual and emotional compatability
Are at the very least difficult
If not impossible to come by
We could always opt for the more temporal gratification
Of sheer physical attraction
That wouldn't make you a shallow person
Would it

If Ford is to Chevrolet
What Dodge is to Chrysler
What Corn Flakes are to Post Toasties
What the clear blue sky is to the deep blue sea
What Hank Williams is to Neil Armstrong
Can you doubt we were made for each other

Look
I understand too little too late
I realize there are things you say and do
You can never take back
But what would you be if you didn't even try
You have to try
So after a lot of thought
I'd like to reconsider
Please
If it's not too late
Make it a cheeseburger

Wow, just read through a few pages here. Some really great ones posted. Picked one below.

You can't avoid her.
She's in the air... in the air
In between molecules of
Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide.

.......

You walk up to her.
Ask her to dance.
She says, "Hey, baby, I just might take the chance."
You say, "It's a good thing
That you float in the air... in the air.
That way there's no way I will crush your pretty toenails into a thousand pieces

Only in Dreams - Weezer

My great grandfather was a welder
He helped build the titanic
He certainly didn't think
That it was unsinkable

Titanic Terrarium - The Tragically Hip

Some balls are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure
They're the balls that I like best
My balls are always bouncing
To the left and to the right
It's my belief that my big balls
Should be held every night

Big Balls - AC/DC

The one that got me through college, after some mistakes lead to the end of probably the best relationship I've ever had.

I've dealt with my ghosts and faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
Ive found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once Im at peace with myself
Ive been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long
Im movin on

-Moving On, Rascall Flatts

WOW, I can't believe it's not here. EVERY teenagae male felt this way in 79'

She's your adolescent dream,
Schoolboy stuff, a sticky sweet romance.
And she makes you want to scream,
Wishing you could get inside her pants.
So, you fantasize away.
And while you're squeezing her, you thought you heard her saying...

"Good girls don't,
Good girls don't,
Good girls don't, but I do."


THE KNACK

I feel like running away
I'm still so far from home
You say I'll never change but what the f&%k do you know?
I'll burn it all to the ground, before I let you run
Please forgive me, I can't forgive you now.

Five Finger Death Punch- Remember Everything

But i'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind
And I'll take my find anywhere
Anywhere I may roam
Where I lay my head is home
Carved upon my stone
My body lie, but still I roam

Wherever I May Roam - The Almighty Metallica :rockin:

Stagecoach lady, hour glass body, making thing's glow in the night
Well, she would if she could, and she'd be good if she would, only tell her lover she be out tonight.
Cuz I'm a bad, a lonely school boy, and I'm a rat
And it's too bad I can't get me some of that
Aerosmith - SOS

Lay off that whiskey, and let that cocaine be

I've been everywhere

And see I'm standing tall

I've seen a million faces

And I've rocked them all

"I miss the innocence I've known,
playing KISS covers, beautiful and stoned."

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality
Embrace this moment
Remember
We are eternal
All this pain is an illusion

TOOL Parabola

Do you have a problem,
Would you like someone to solve them,
Would you like someone to share in your misery?
Now, I don't know the answer, but I know a flamenco dancer
Who will dance for you if you will dance for me

Her name's Miranda
She's a Rudolph Valentino fan
And she doesn't claim to understand
She bakes brownies for the boys in the band.

Early Sunday morning
When the sermon lines are forming
And Saturday night is the memories that it gave.
She's busy in the pantry, far away from Elmer Gantry
Who is busy baking souls that he may save.
Everybody's soul but Miranda

(Chorus)

The dice of death are calling
While the truck of time is falling
By the thumb stuck out on the highway of the years.
The tollgate at the turnpike is ignored by those who hitch-hike
And the Howard Johnson food is made of fear
But not Miranda

(Chorus)

The sun burnt skin is peeling
On the doctors who are healing
And the license plates are laughing on the car.
The pain is so exciting
And everyone's inviting
You to look upon their operation scars.
But not Miranda

The condiments are clashing
While commercial planes are crashing
And the music of the evening is so sweet
Now fully in agreement
Oh, their feet have found the cement
And they all believe the signs are on the street
Her name's Miranda

In the bar we're gin and scotching
While the FBI is watching
They are tape recording every other word
The bartender is bleeding
Pardon me, I just was leaving
as another clever voice repeats absurd
But not Miranda

Phil Ochs

I'm the one who's got to die when it's time for me to die.
So let me live my life the way I want to.

- If 6 was 9 by Jimi Hendrix

From Neal Young,Old Man;
Lullabys,look in your eyes,
run around,
The same old town.
Dosen't mean that much to me,
to mean that much to you.
I've been first & last,
look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last,
strollin home to you.
Old man,take a look at my life,
I'm a lot like you.
I need someone to love me the whole day through.
Old one,take a look in my eyes,
& you can tell that's true.
Old man,take a look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were...

I got a freaky ole lady
name a cocaine Katy
who embroideries on my jeans
I got my poor ole grey haired daddy
drivin' my limousine
Now it's all designed to blow our minds
but our minds won't really be blown
Like the blow that'll getcha
when you get your picture
on the cover of the Rollin' Stone

The whole thing.

Probably the best-written song I've ever heard.

Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

Set the gear shift to the high gear of your soul!
You better run like an antelope; out of control!

Johnny used to work after school
at the cinema show.
Gotta hustle if he wants an education
he's got a long way to go.
Now he's out on the street all day
selling Crack to the people who pay.
Got an AK-47 for his best friend
business the American way.

Empire - Queensryche

We all have a weakness
But some of ours are easy to identify.
Look me in the eye
And ask for forgiveness;
We'll make a pact to never speak that word again
Yes you are my friend.
We all have something that digs at us,
At least we dig each other.

Dig - Incubus

It's been a number of years since I've heard the song, but I've been on a Foo Fighters kick lately and got to the One by One album yesterday. In light of the events earlier in the week, I thought this was beautiful.

It's times like these you learn to live again
It's times like these you give and give again
It's times like these you learn to love again
It's times like these time and time again

Like a lemon to a lime a lime to a lemon
I sip the def ale with all the fly women

No Sleep Til Brooklyn - Beastie Boys

got a couple regrettable tattoos
But you can't see them when I wear a black suit
Got drunk off of Jagers out in Vegas last June
And them water parks kids yell "Look at that ******"
You know saying 'if looks could kill'?
Well my style is harmless, I shop at GoodWill

In the high school halls

In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out

Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion.

Grateful Dead: What a long strange trip it's been!!

Well, low dealer, with snake eyes
You cross me, you realize
You're hot leather, you're cold steel
You make a move, I'll make you feel
Like a human target in my eyes
I've got you within my sites
And by the rope, you will hang
I'ts your neck from this Ratt gang
Ratt

What we've got here is, failure to communicate...
Some men you just can't reach, so you get what we had here last week,
which is the way he wants it,
Well he gets it.
I don't like it any more than you men

Eh, I love the song, and it's great, but I don't know about best written.

For me I can think of 10 Bob Dylan songs I'd take over it. Start with Like a Rolling Stone, add some Subterranean Homesick Blues, some Maggie's Farm, some Tangled Up in Blue, and some more in there that I don't care to type right now.

Though it is a fantastic song, I'm just not a fan of his rhyming pattern in it but it tells a pretty cool story.

I'm not the only soul who's accused of hit and run
Tire tracks all across your back I can see you've had your fun
But darlin' can't you see my signals turn from green to red
And with you I can see a traffic jam straight up ahead
You're just like, crosstown taffic
It's so hard to get through to you
Crosstown traffic, I don't need to run over you
Crosstown traffic, all you do is slow me down
And I got better things on the other side of town
Hendrix

I push my fingers into my eyes...
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache...
But it's made of all the things I have to take...
Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside...
If the pain goes on...
Aaaaaaaah!

I have screamed until my veins collapsed
I've waited as my time's elapsed
Now, all I do is live with so much hate
I've wished for this, I've bitched at that
I've left behind this little fact:
You cannot kill what you did not create
I've gotta say what I've gotta say
And then I swear I'll go away
But I can't promise you'll enjoy the noise
I guess I'll save the best for last
My future seems like one big past
You're left with me 'cause you left me no choice

Slipknot - Duality

I saw a couple Schism lines in here. I'd say the whole song could qualify for me. Got me through a bad time several years ago. Sadly, due to that it's hard to listen to it anymore as now it brings back the memories.

I know the pieces fit
'Cause I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering
Fundamental differing
Pure intention juxtaposed
Will set two lovers' souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes
Testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire then
Has a burned a hole between us so
We cannot see to reach an end
Crippling our communication

I know the pieces fit
'Cause I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame
It doesn't mean I don't desire to
Point the finger, blame the other
Watch the temple topple over
To bring the pieces back together
Rediscover communication

The poetry
That comes from the squaring off between
And the circling is worth it
Finding beauty in the dissonance

There was a time that the pieces fit
But I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering
Strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know
The dangers of our second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow
And strengthen our communication

Cold silence has
A tendency to
Atrophy any
Sense of compassion
Between supposed lovers

I find a window in the kitchen, and I let myself in
Rummage through the refrigerator, find myself a beer
I can't believe I'm really here, and she's lying in that bed
I can almost feel her touch, and her anxious breath!

I stumble in the hallway, outside the bedroom door
I hear her call out to me, I hear the fear in her voice
She pulls the covers tighter, I press against the door

I will be with her tonight!



Tyler - The Toadies

Come a little closer honey, I won't bite 'ya
One more lager and I might learn to like 'ya.
