What are some of the best lines in a song? I think one of my favorite lines if from the song Helter Skelter by the Beatles:
When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide where I stop and turn and go for a ride, and I get to the bottom and I see you again, Yea Yea Yea!
Whats the best lyrics?

Well i personally like the lyrics in 'Girl all the bad Guys Aant - Bowling for Soup'

She broke my heart i wanna be sedated,
All i wanted was to see her nakes

:cool: :) ;) :D :rolleyes: :p

"It's sad that, in our blindness, we gather thorns for flowers."

My Dying Bride - Your River

:)

"I'll stir fry you in my wok!"

Intergalatic - Beastie Boys

"I aint got a drinkin' problem,
til I can't find a drink"

- Tom Waits

Big B:..."And if you play Defender I can be your Hyperspace!!!"

These lines are from a song from Warren Zevon called "Hit Somebody!" It's a ballad about a the life of a Canadian hockey player...He wanted to be a scorer, but didn't have the knack, so he became an enforcer. The lyrics for the full song can be read here, but I pasted my favorite part:

http://www.hotlyrics.net/index.php3?frame=viewlyric.php3?id=15518

In his final season on his final night
Buddy and a Finn goon were pegged for a fight
30 seconds left and the puck took a roll
And suddenly....
Buddy had a shot on goal
The goalie committed
But he picked his spot
20 years of waiting went into that shot
The fans jumped up
And the Finn jumped too!
He cold-cocked Buddy on his follow through
The big man crumbled
But he felt alright
'Cause the last thing he saw was the flashing red light
he saw that heavenly light....

Beautiful!!! Doesn't it bring tears to your eyes?!?!? :cry: :thumb:

I saw it all from my bubble on the 15th floor
I was so unaware as I sank into my leather chair.
Something was creepin' in.
My castle walls were wearing thin.
It took a fire to inspire me to make my move.
Cigarette in a garbage can
Changed the ways of this corporate man.
It was time for a radical plan.
I took a dive.
DC Talk - "Dive"

I've got memories
I keep them away from me
They won't behave
Won't be what I want them to be
I've seen it all, and it's all done
I've been with everyone, and noone
Tindersticks - Dying Slowly... great for those times when you feel like burying yourself in self pity.

Pink Floyd-have a cigar

"The band is just fantastic thats really what i think, oh by the way, which ones pink?

"I've been looking so long at these pictures of you that I almost believe that they're real I've been living so long with my pictures of you that I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel"

-"pictures of you" by The Cure (woeful tune for people in long distance relationships)

"Somewhere deep inside me I hold a picture of a time long gone - a time of ease & simple pleasures & days in shadows not so long.
Now with my mind I'm struggling, holding on to what I believe - listen to the fragments of my thoughts that leave me broken & decieved"

"trust" by Sarah McLachlan

Father Father Father Father.
Father into your hands I commend my spirit
father into your hands
Why have you
forsaken me in your eyes?
forsaken me in your thoughts?
forsaken me in your heart?
forsaken me oh?

System of a Down - Chop Suey

It´s the only song which makes me cry because it remembers me of a girl I lost

Theres a lot of songs with great lyrics but just now i listened to Dare to be stupid - by wierd al yankovic and i just loved one particular line/piece of advice -

"stick youur head in the microwave and get yourself a tan" :grin: :grin:

"Giff heem a niice cold showerr!"

- Bonzo Dog DooDah Band, Sport

Morgoth - to continue ...

Trust in my self righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to die...

IT GETS NO BETTER THAN THIS

I havn't been this scared
In a long time
And i'm so unprepared
So here's your valentine
Bouque of clumsy words
A simple melody
This worlds an ugly place
But you're so beautiful to me I think those lryics are great
And even though some people will think "Bah its blink 182"
I think that these lryics have a point that can be reflected upon.

There were peasants singin', and drummers drummin' and the archer split the tree.
There was a fanfare blowin' to the sun that was floating on the breeze.

'Cause you want to be alone,

You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinkin' that you're leavin' there too soon.
You're leaving there too soon.

"... I met a girl who sang the blues, and I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away. And I went down to the sacred store where I heard the music years before. But the man there said the music wouldn't play. And in the streets, the children screamed, the lovers cried and the poets dreamed. But not a word was spoken. the church bells all were broken. And the three men I admire most, the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost... they took the last train for the coast, the day the music died. And they were singin'..."

Why are most quotes in here from rocksongs :) I like that.... a reward for rock-music, one of the few music types where the writers care about the lyrics.

Dream Theater - The Spirit Carries On.

I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
That was before
I'm not scared anymore
I know that my sould will transcend
If I die tomorrow
I'll be allright
Because I believe
That after I'm gone
The spirit carries on.

Move on, be brave
don't weep at my grave
Beacause I'm no longer here.
But please never let
Your memories of me disappear

Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
has helped me to find
the meaning in my life again.

There's no one to take my blame
if they wanted to
There's nothing to keep me sane
and it's all the same to you
There's nowhere to set my aim
so I'm everywhere
Never come near me again
do you really think I need you
Dream Theater - Space-Dye Vest


Looking out on a blue sky
I can see a new world arising
Like a prisoner unbound
I feel the power and the majesty
again

Looking up to the heavens
I can see what I left behind
Beneath the stars, moon and
warm sun
And all I know,
is my paradise has begun...

I tried to call you last night
Then I remembered
I hadn't payed the phone bill
In over three years
From the song -Where'd You go - Just Blues

Another one -

I waited all night for you to phone me
I got so bored
I took a laxative
And was on the bog all night
That's why I missed you
From the song -Bad Lines -Inately dumb

When she's saying that she wants only me, then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends

On an evening such as this
It's hard to tell if I exist
If I pack the car and leave this town
Who'll notice that I'm not around?

All my stuff's here anyway

Title: Pinch Me

Break me, Shake me, hate me, take me over
When the madness stop then oyu will be alone

Anytime I want to see your face
I just close my eyes
and I am taken to a place in your crystal mind
and Magenta feelings take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet
like a chic-a-cherry-cola

I want you - SAVAGE!

I am so high, I can hear heaven
I am so high, I can hear heaven
Whoa, but heaven...no, heaven don't hear me

And they say that a hero could save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles

Watch as we all fly away
Someone told me
Love would all save us
But, how can that be
Look what love gave us
A world full of killing
And blood spilling
that world never came

And they say that a hero could save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles
Watch as we all fly away

Now that the world isn't ending
its love that I'm sending to you
it isn't the love of a hero
and that's why I fear it won't do

And they say that a hero could save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles

Watch as we all fly away
And they're watching us
they're watching us
as we all fly away

Why are most quotes in here from rocksongs Popmusic is blind and commercial, they only sing about a good world they´re experiencing with girls, money, fancy cars and fame. Not a world were are living in.

Most of the time the artist don´t even write the lyrics themselves, they only have a cute face, a good voice but not the brains to write songs themselves.
And when they write the lyrics themselves it just crap, with a lot of oh´s and "give it baby" because they are just to stupid to come with something better!! :mad: :mad:

Heh, I just needed to say that

And when they write the lyrics themselves it just crap, with a lot of oh´s and "give it baby" because they are just to stupid to come with something better!! Of course, "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)" has both of those and is a great song to crank up on the stereo.

And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell my myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass

Let's see colors that have never been seen
Let's go to places no one else has been
- Electrical Storm, U2

She was your woman but she was my girl
One on one, the queen of two worlds
- Ours, Sugar Ray (the rest of the song has nothing to do with anything, but it's me and Joy's favorite Sugar Ray song - which was a funny surprise since I feel it's about her)

And of course, any U2 or Oasis lyric is guaranteed to be something great!
