Write the lines of your favorite song right now......

Mine:

Oh hey, boy with your hat back, I kinda like that
If you wanna walk my way
Ima shoot ya straight up
Show me what your made of
I don't have time to waste on the boys that are playing the game
Or leaving the girls crying out in the rain
So tell me baby, do you got what it takes

 

[EctoJohn]

I don't know if I have a favorite song per say, AC/DC have made too many songs
and they are all awesome, but I'll post some lyrics anyway.

Lately I have thinking doing a 40s jazz/big band/jump blues kind of version of this.

She was a fast machine she kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman that I ever seen
She had the sightless eyes telling me no lies
Knocking me out with those American thighs
Taking more than her share
Had me fighting for air
She told me to come but I was already there
Cause the walls start shaking
The earth was quaking
My mind was aching
And we were making it
And you shook me all night long
Yeah you shook me all night long

You can travel the world
But you can't run away
From the person you are in your heart
You can be who you want to be
Make us believe in you
Keep all your light in the dark
If you're searching for truth
You must look in the mirror
And make sense of what you can see
Just be
Just be

They say learning to love yourself
Is the first step
That you take when you want to be real
Flying on planes to exotic locations
Won't teach you
How you really feel
Face up to the fact
That you are who you are
And nothing can change that belief
Just be
Just be


Tiesto - Just Be

While you was gone you must have done a lot of favors
You've got a whole lot of things I don't think
That you could ever have paid for
While you've been busy crying

About my past mistakes
I've been busy trying to make a change
I made a change
I've been riding with the ghost

I've been doing whatever he told me
I've been looking door to door to see
If there was someone who'd hold me
I never met a single one who didn't see through me

None of them could love me if they thought they might lose me
Unless I made a change
See I ain't getting better. I am only getting behind
I am standing on a crossroad trying to make up my mind

I'm trying to remember how it got so late
Why every night pain comes from a different place
Now something's got to change
I put my foot to the floor

To make up for the miles I've been losing
See I'm running out of things
I didn't even know I was using
And while you've been busy

Learning how to complain
I've been busy learning
How to make a change
I made it almost again

A fabulous song!!!

 

[RoyceConnors]

And I'd give up forever to touch you,
cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I've ever been
and I don't want to go home right now

All I can taste is this moment
and all I can breathe is your life,
cause sooner or later it's over,
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am

Agree, although can be painful for me to listen to.

This one and I wanna hear your 40's version...that would be cool!

Or this one:

A modern day warrior
Mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean, mean pride

Though his mind is not for rent
Don't put him down as arrogant
His reserve, a quiet defense
Riding out the day's events
The river

What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift

The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide

Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the space he invades
He gets by on you

No his mind is not for rent
To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent
But change is

What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the witness, catch the wit
Catch the spirit, catch the spit

The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his eyes are wide

Exit the warrior
Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the energy you trade
He gets right on to the friction of the day

I don't know if I have a favorite song per say, AC/DC have made too many songs

My favorite band ever!!
I've never done karaoke & never will
Given The Dog A Bone seems suitable for here


She take you down easy
Going down to her knees
Going down to the devil
Down down at ninety degrees
She blowing me crazy
'til my ammunition is dry
She's using her head again
She's using her head
She's using her head again
I'm justa giving the dog a bone
Giving the dog a bone, giving the dog a bone
Giving the dog a bone, giving the dog a bone

She's no Mona Lisa
No she's no playboy star
But she'll send you to heaven
Then explode you to Mars
She's using her head again
She's using her head
She's using her head again
I'm justa giving the dog a bone
Giving the dog a bone, giving the dog a bone
Giving the dog a bone, giving the dog a bone

She's got the power of union
She only hits when it's hot
And if she likes what you're doing
She'll give you the lot give it everything I got
Just giving the dog a bone

Giving the dog a bone, giving the dog a bone
Giving the dog a bone, giving the dog a bone
Giving the dog a bone, giving the dog a bone
Giving the dog a bone, giving the dog a bone

I'm justa giving the dog a bone
Giving the dog a bone, giving the dog a bone
I'm justa giving the dog a boneback to top

I doubt I would ever record it, I can't sing worth a damn.

My favorite band ever!!

High five!

Another really fun one is Whole Lotta Rosie.

Wanna tell you story
About woman I know
When it comes to lovin'
She steals the show
She ain't exactly pretty
Ain't exactly small
Fourt'two thirt'ninefiftysix
You could say she's got it all!


...
All through the night time
Right around the clock
To my surprise
Rosie never stops


The lyrics of Bon Scott were always fantastic.

I'm headed to see AC/DC in Detroit in a week.

I can't say I'm not jealous.
I actually haven't been to a concert of any kind, nevermind something as epic as AC/DC.

In a world full of secrets
Guarded by a plagiarizing heart
I still can't believe you'd keeps yours with me

Half a world between us
Half a world to cut and paste away
Gravity will bring our orbits together

I think we both can see our own gravity
Is keeping our orbits in place
We've been around the sun together as one
Keeping up a furious pace
Leader of the pack in the chase

I know I can make a mess of things
When I wish on Saturn's rings
Our love can't be seen by the naked eye

By now we both can see our own gravity
Is keeping our orbits in place
We've been around the sun together as one
Leader of the pack in the chase
Breaking our necks in this race

Never stopping when we oughta
Breathing you back into my lungs
Never stopping where we oughta
You're my other half

I could fall in love with you again
In love with you it's all brand new
Never thought that this would happen to me

I think we both can see our gravity
Is keeping our orbits in place
We've been around the sun together as one
Breaking our necks in this race
Leader of the pack in the chase

[jmarx20102012]

I am the boy your mother wanted you to meet
But I am broken and torn with heels at my feet (?)
And with your purest light why don't you shine on me
Well I should have been an angel
But I'm too dumb to speak
Now as she gets nearer, the visions get clearer
I'm kneeling, weeping
I will hold her dear
Oh, If your eyes water, you've got your favorite number to spin

And oh, what a crying shame, a crying shame
What we became

Murdered my throat, screaming bloody all night
Hit him with a book and how he crumbles
Oh you should have seen the arches tumble
Their golden no more
Now I'm smiling in my blood

I'm caught in a whirlwind
I'm going to heaven
I'm standing on trial and it's painted on canvas
An eternal testament to how we are so animalistic

And oh, what a crying shame, what a crying shame
What we became

I bow my head in the morning light and say goodnight
I held her hand and I, I kissed her eyes
Stumbled down the stairs and hang my self on high
And I started for the town that i have a front yard
And died

Ashamed - Deer Tick

 

[jmarx20102012]

Oh, I just love the kind of woman who can walk over a man
I mean like a god damn marching band
She says, like literally, music is the air she breathes
And the malaprops make me want to fucking scream
I wonder if she even knows what that word means
Well, it's literally not that

Of the few main things I hate about her, one's her petty, vogue ideas
Someone's been told too many times they're beyond their years
By every half-wit of distinction she keeps around
And now every insufferable convo
Features her patiently explaining the cosmos
Of which she's in the middle

Oh my God, I swear this never happens
Lately, I can't stop the wheels from spinning
I feel so unconvincing
When I fumble with your buttons

She blames her excess on my influence but gladly Hoovers all my drugs
I found her naked with the best friend in the tub
We sang "Silent Night" in three parts which was fun
Til she said that she sounds just like Sarah Vaughan
I hate that soulful affectation white girls put on
Why don't you move to the Delta?
I obliged later on when you begged me to choke ya

This time
I won't show I'm vulnerable
This time
I won't give in first
This time
I will hold out with my love
This time
I will not be hurt

I'm gonna love myself
More than anyone else
I'm gonna treat me right
I'm gonna make you say
That you love me first
And you'll be the one
With the most to lose tonight

This time
I'm gonna keep my heart locked safe inside
This time
I'm gonna be the one
To win your love
Your affection
To hide my fear of rejection
This time

Last time I saw you, I was holding your hand
And I couldn't wait for you to leave
I knew right then that it was over and done
And I couldn't believe that I was free

Help me now, I'm going down
And I don't know if I'll be ok
I'll be around, I'll be in town
If you need a place to stay

When the wind blows and there's a chill in the air
I hope that someone is taking care of you
I'm alright, yeah, I'm really ok
Just so you know I'm always there for you

Help me now, I'm going down
And I don't know if I'll be ok
I'll be around, I'll be in town
If you need a place to stay

I don't think anyone change that and do it justice.....

My song I love to sing is this....

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken
But you see it's not me
It's not my family
In your head in your head
They are fighting

With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head in your head they are crying


In your head
In your head
Zombie zombie zombie ei ei
What's in your head
In your head.
Zombie, zombie, zombie ei, ei, ei, oh do,do,do,do,do,do,do,do

Another mother's breaking
heart is taken over
And the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
It's the same old thing since 1916
In your head in your head
They're still fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head in your head they are dying

The Cranberries - Zombie

 

[Ask For More]

This is a translation from a modern chinese song, hence the grammar is slightly clunky. The lyrics are rather more poetic than modern Western songs..


The display window below the street lights
Possesses a kind of desolate warmth
Breathing onto the glass
And drawing your face on it

I drive the car aimlessly around the corner
I don't know where I have to go
The tiled display screens downtown
In the end who is watching them

The shadow of the poplar is stretched
Like how my thoughts of you never end
It turns out I've never gotten used to
You not being by my side anymore

The iron gates on the streets have been pulled down
All that's left is the neon lights flashing at the corner
In the alleys of this city
It rains all night

You hold up a small oil-paper umbrella
Sighing that fate is too mild and indirect
The rain falls down, it becomes foggy
Where are the ends of the earth I ask

At midnight, the remnant flute sound
Secretly passes through the window
In front of the candlestick, I'm still thinking
A small sampan
Row oh row
A small oil-paper umbrella
It keeps out the rain and the moonlight
