What Is The Best Line/Verse in a Song (1 Viewer)

[dave_119]

millencolin - the ballard

There are no friends to cheer him up and
no girls, no sweet romance.
It's impossible to expand,
when you never get a second chance.

He's not going to the school-prom.
He said he had the flu.
Trumped-up excuses he told his mom.
-I'm safer here with you.
She told her son. -Someday, they'll all be
sorry for mistreating you.
Don't be afraid my son and trust me.
-You'll be someone they will look up to.

millencolin - no cigar

Tell us where you're from,
what you want to become.
And we'll say if you're OK.
Where did you go to school?
Right answer and you're cool.
Yeah, you're the kid the whole day.

 

[~Dreamer]

Sarah McLachlan - stupid

love has made me a fool
it set me on fire and watched as I floundered
unable to speak
except to cry out and wait for your answer
but you come around in your time
speaking of fabulous places
create an oasis
dries up as soon as you're gone
you leave me here burning
in this desert without you


stone sour - bother

Wish I was too dead to care
If indeed I cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me shit to digest
I wish I had a reason;
my flaws are open season
For this, I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying



Mary.J.Blige - PMS

Today I'm not feelin pretty
See I'm feeling quite ugly
Havin one of this days
When I cant make up the ??
So don't even look at me
See I don't wanna hear your problem
Cause I'm having some of my own
I know it was not your fault
That I'm feelin down
I just wanna be left alone

Down I'm now in depression
I think the worst of everything
My low was back and seeking
And my close don't feel
Now aint that a bitch

 

[spiny norman]

So come on, come on
Do the Locomotion with me.

 

[wanton-wonton]

cummon noobs! Get some Metallica happening!

Who are you calling noobs?

 

[nicko88]

"wherever there is cheese, there are rats; wherever there are rats, there are cats; wherever there are cats, there are dogs..."

millionaire - andre 3000 and kelis.

 

[fine ambiguity]

So come on, come on
Do the Locomotion with me.

Yeah.

That really speaks to me too.

 

[biggles04]

And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave over the land of the free and the home of the brave!

 

[roadcone]

counting crows - colourblind -->
i am covered in skin
no one gets to come in
pull me out from inside
i am folded and unfolded, and unfolding
i am.. colourblind
coffee black and egg white
pull me out from inside
i am ready

 

[spiny norman]

I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you

 

[Senator04]

Imagine - John Lennon

You May Say I'm A Dreamer,
But I'm Not The Only One.
Hope Some Day, You'll Join Us
And The World Will Be As One.

 

[iambored]

i know exactly what you mean about the one great line

 

[Mojoman]

pink floyd - the final cut
"through the fish eyed lens of tear stained eyes, i can barely define this moment in time."

pink floyd - wish you were here
"how i wish, i wish you were here
we're just two lost souls
swimming in a fish bowl
year after year
running over the same old ground
what have we found?
the same old fears
wish you were here"

pink floyd - have a cigar
"we'll i've always had a deep respect
and i mean that most sincerely
the band is just fantastic
that is really what i think
oh by the way, which one's Pink?"

pink floyd - sheep
"bleating and babbling I fell on his neck with a scream
waev upon wave of demented avengers
march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream."

pink floyd - echoes
"strangers passing in the street
by chance two seperate glances meet
and i am you and what i see is me"

"and no one sings my lullabyes
and no one makes me close my eyes
so i throw the windows wide
and call to you across the sky..."

pink floyd - set the controls to the heart of the sun
"one inch of love is one inch of shadow
love is the shadow that ripens the wine
set the controls to the heart of the sun"

pink floyd - time
"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"

pink floyd - bike
"you're the kind of girl that fits into my world
i'll give you anything, everything if you want things"

pink floyd - mother
"mother did it need to be so high?"

pink floyd - outside the wall
"and when they've given you their all
some stagger and fall, after all its not easy
banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall"


that'll do pig, that'll do

 

[glycerine]

mojoman, i agreed with nearly every standout lyric! namely the final cut, echoes, set the controls to the heart of the sun, time, bike, mother & outside the wall.

death cab for cutie - title track
"i tried my best to keep my distance from your dress, but call-response overturns conviction every time"

hum - i hate it too
"and i need you to give it meaning, i need you to share the view, or it becomes a time for me to love myself like every other thing i do"

dresden dolls - good day
"i'd like to do more than survive - i'd like to rub it in your face"

wilco - ashes of american flags
"i want a good life with a nose for things, a fresh wind and bright sky to enjoy my suffering"

pedro the lion - the bells
"dad, i broke my promise to you / if you're wondering where i've been / i thought i knew what i was doing / but i was wrong again" (so sad... :'()

 

[bubz :D]

fake? - into everything
bend the beauty in me
make love to machines
it helps me to build my self esteem
banged up heart never bleeds
cant' feel it in me
i guess that i need another...



oasis - wonderwall
and all the roads we have to walk along are winding
and all the lights that lead us there are blinding
there are many things that i would like to say to you
but i don't know how

coz maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
and after all, you're my wonderwall




fake? - drip
feel her tongue as it presses deep into me
and then licks my heart clean
took a long time to fix her and now that she's whole
i'm gonna break her again

...

she's the one that's taking control, control
of the world i own, and
she's the one that makes me belong, belong
when she comes, she comes for me
into me, in my dreams
and i just can't let it go
and i come alive
when my mind dissolves all i've ever known

and i drip, i drip, i drip it onto you
again and again...




maybe i'm amazed
Maybe I'm a girl and maybe I'm a lonely girl
who's in the middle of something
that she doesn't really understand
Maybe I'm a girl and maybe you're the only man
who could ever help me
Baby, won't you help me understand




lifehouse - hangin' by a moment
I'm falling even more in love with you
letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you




oasis - stop crying your heart out
Cos all of the stars
Are fading away
Just try not to worry
You'll see them some day
Take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out



fake? - snow
dead flowers come alive when
i inhale every word she gives to me
one touch of her skin and
i heal without medication in me

...

oh baby, you separate me
from the side that pulls me into pain
i cant' explain it, acn't contain it
i'm overloaded with all the love that you've designed




evanscence - my immortal
you still have all of me....





goo goo dolls - big machine
Ecstasy is all you need
Living in the big machine
Oh you're so vain
Now your world is way too fast
Nothing's real and nothing lasts
And I'm aware
I'm in love and you don't care
Turn your anger into lust
I'm still here but you don't trust at all
And I'll be waiting
Love and sex and loneliness
Take what's yours and leave the rest
So I'll survive
God it's good to be alive

I'm torn in pieces
I'm blind and waiting for you
My heart is reeling
I'm blind and waiting for you




jewel - foolish games
your thoughtless words are breaking my heart




muse - space dementia
i cut your name in my heart




meh... i cbf lol, just go to the lyrics thread

 

[mayhemily]

ani di franco "you each time" - The answer to each moment must be 'yes'. And the question can you live with that becomes the test

the libertines "the good old days" - But if you've lost your faith in love and music, the end won't be long. Because if its gone for you I too may lost it and that would be wrong"

 

[Bobcat]

All u need is love - beatles.

Dont step on my blue suede shoes - Elvis

 

[Mojoman]

mojoman, i agreed with nearly every standout lyric! namely the final cut, echoes, set the controls to the heart of the sun, time, bike, mother & outside the wall.

thankee very much
i was hopin someone would appreciate the lyric in mother, which is one of my favourites.

 

[vegemite]

Comfortably Numb is easily Pink Floyds best song :uhhuh:

 

[Mojoman]

easily is a very unforgiving word.. id prefer 'possibly'

 

[SitDownStandUp]

Augie March- Sunset Studies
'You are the queen of the dustbowl, next to a town crier in a town full of ashes, this is what happens when a great love crashes'

Yet I say more?
