Favorite Lines from Songs

[meop79]

So... self explanatory...


Man I feel like mold
It's prom night and I am lonely
Low and behold
She's walking over to me
This must be fake
My lips start to shake
How does she know who I am
And why does she give a damn about me

I've got two tickets to Iron Maiden baby
Come with me Friday, don't say maybe
I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
Like you
Oooh

From Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus

 

[Sundayschild]

It was the myth of fingerprints. I've seen them all and man - they're all the same.

Paul Simon

The future's uncertain & the end is always near. -- The Doors Roadhouse Blues

 

[LifeIsGood3976]

Don't know the reason, Stayed here all season
With nothing to show but this brand new tattoo.
But its a real beauty, a Mexican cutie
How it got here, I haven't a clue.

Margaritaville, Jimmy Buffett

 

[jaF0]

Soooooo many ......

But at the moment:

"Though his mind is not for rent to any God or Government"

Tom Sawyer - Rush!

 

[lovetopleasewomen]

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

Time by Pink Floyd from the album Dark Side Of The Moon.

'So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.'

Time - Pink Floyd

 

[meop79]

...love me,
No more second guessing
No, there’s no more questioning
I’ll be the one defining who I'm gonna be
No concealing feelings, or changing seasonally
I’m gonna love myself, the way I want you to love me

from: Love Me by Katy Perry

 

[jaF0]

'But my dreams, they aren't as empty
as my conscience seems to be.'

Behind Blue Eyes - The Who

 

[lovetopleasewomen]

The old man turned off the radio
Said, "Where did all of the old songs go
Kids sure play funny music these days
They play it in the strangest ways"
Said, "It looks to me like they've all gone wild
It was peaceful back when I was a child
Well, man, could it be that the girls and boys
Are trying to be heard above your noise?"
And the lonely voice of youth cries
"What is truth?"
A little boy of three sittin' on the floor
Looks up and says, "Daddy, what is war?"
"Son, that's when people fight and die"
The little boy of three says, "Daddy, why?"
A young man of seventeen in Sunday school
Being taught the golden rule
And by the time another year has gone around
It may be his turn to lay his life down
Can you blame the voice of youth for asking
"What is truth?"


Johnny Cash

 

[meop79]

But everybody's gone
And you've been there for too long
To face this on your own
Well I guess this is growing up

from: blink-182 - Dammit

 

[MastersWench]

On friendship....

Tell me lies later
Come and see me
I'll be around for a while...

I am lonely but
You can free me
All in the way that you smile


Neil Young - Tell me Why

 

[Learin]

One went out when I lied to my mother
Said the cigarettes she found were not mine
One went out within me now I smoke like a chimney
Its getting dark in this heart of mine
Its getting dark in this heart of mine

We’re born with millions of little lights shining in the dark
And they show us the way
One lights up
Every time you feel love in your heart
One dies when it moves away

One went out when uncle ben got his tumour
We used to fish and I fish no more
Though he will not return
I know one still burns
On a fishing boat off the new jersey shore
On a fishing boat off the new jersey shore

We’re born with millions of little lights shiny in our hearts
And they die along the way
Till we’re old and we’re cold
And lying in the dark
Cos they’ll all burn out one day
They’ll all burn out one day
They’ll all burn out one day
They’ll all burn out one day​

All the Little Lights ~ The Passenger.

Our subject isn't cool
But he fakes it anyway
He may not have a clue and
He may not have style
But everything he lacks,
Well, he makes up in denial

from: The Offspring - Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)

 

[BreezySnow]

At first, I was afraid, I was petrified.
Kept thinkin' I could never live
Without you by my side,
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong.
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along.

I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor

 

[meop79]

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they try to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

from: Owl City - Fireflies

 

[Iceprincess12]

The narrowest path
Is always the holiest
So walk on barefoot for me
Suffer some misery
If you want my love

Judas-depeche mode

 

[goodlibations78]

I'm in love with the world/ through the eyes of a girl"

Elliott Smith "say yes"

 

[meop79]

Jane says
I've never been in love
I don't know what it is
Only knows if someone wants her
I want them if they want me
I only know they want me

She gets mad
And she starts to cry
She takes a swing man
She cant hit!
She don't mean no harm
She just dont know
What else to do about it

from: Jane's Addiction- Jane Says

 

[meop79]

Go on and try to tear me down,
I will be rising from the ground,
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper!

from: Demi Lovato - Skyscraper

 

[Jason37]

I hate the asshole I become every time I'm with you.

-- Billy Bragg "Life with the Lions"

 

[meop79]

All this time you were pretending, so much for my happy ending...

from: Avril Lavigne - My Happy Ending

 

[jameslewis]

I'm just trying to get by, being quiet and shy, in a world full of pushing and shoving.
Jimmy Buffett-The Wino and I Know

 

[jackflash81]

If you love
Bury it deep
When you talk
Know that talk is cheap
Swallow your tounge
This is not your fight
It's braver sometimes just to run

Tom McRae

 

[Leigh81]

Here I am, back to the wall,
I picked the fight against the time,
Free at last I go my own way,
I will resist them, till the day I die,
I am who I am; my time has come.

There is no second place,
No perfect world,
Your head is whole,
Freedom in your heart,
Be strong; take this chance,
Make your way; a better future comes.
I am who I am; my time has come.

I am who I am, take it or leave it,
A rebel at heart,
No gods, no masters,
My time has come.
No gods, no masters.

Arch Enemy
