best song lyrics
 
what are the best song lyrics you've come across? you know, stuff to be found on the soundtrack of your life...

we refuse to be
what they wanted us to be
we are what we are
that's the way it's going to be.
and we've been treading on the winepress (for too long)
rebel. rebel.
and we've been taken for granted (much too long)
rebel. rebel.
babylon system is the vampire.
sucking the blood of the sufferer...

bob marley

do your best with the words-- it's always great (self-fulfilling?) when you find deep personal meaning in some lyrics and it turns out you got them wrong

On my soundtrack is Vertical Horizon's Finding Me
the entire song resonates with me, but especially the chorus:

Don't tell me
How to be
'Cause I like some suffering
Don't ask me
What I need
I'm just fine
Here finding me
Me

"This is how it seems to me- that life is only therapy
Real expensive and no guarantee..
So I lie here on the couch, with my heart hanging out
Frozen solid with fear, like a rock in the ground.
But you move me- you give me courage I didn't know I had.
You move me- now I can't go with you and stay where I am,
so you move me.
This is how love seemed to me- I could look and not see
Going through the emotions, not knowing what they mean
And it scared me so much, that I just wouldn't budge
I might have stayed there forever, if not for your touch
But you moved me... out of myself and into the fire
You moved me... now I'm taking delight in every desire
Cause you moved me.."
-Garth Brooks, "You Move Me"

And my personal, oh-so-SASSY anthem....

"Lock up your husbands, lock up your sons
Lock up your whisky cabinets, girls, lock up your guns
Lock up the beauty shop, there's no tellin if they've heard the news
Call the boys downtown at Neiman Marcus, tell 'em lock up them high-heeled shoes
Cause when God-fearin women get the blues
There ain't no slap-dab-a-tellin' what they're gonna do
Run around yellin... I got a Mustang, it'll do 80
You don't have to be my baby
I stirred my last batch of gravy, you don't have to be my baby!
Call all the deacons, call the Ladies Aid
Call all the altos, sopranos, tenors, call every bass
Call all the Pentacostals, and bring that anoiting oil too
Call the preacher he's the only one can reach her
and there ain't no time to lose
Cause when God-fearin women get the blues...."
-Martina McBride, "When God-Fearin Women get the Blues"

not specific to me, but I've been listening to old war songs alot, mostly woodstock stuff...but it's an interesting take on the events back in Vietnam.

"I Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die"

and it's 1,2,3
What are we Fightin' For?
Don't Ask Me
I Don't Give A Damn
Next Stop is Vietnam
and it's 5,6,7
Open up the Pearly Gates
Ain't No Time to Wonder Why
Whoppee, We're All Gonna Die
....
Come on Mothers Throughout the Land
Pack Your Boys Off to Vietnam
Come on Fathers Don't Hesitate
Send Your Sons Off Before it's too Late
Be the First One on Your Block
To Have Your Boy Come Home in a Box

great topic! :)
 
I Love song lyrics.. the main reason I love barenaked ladies so much is because of their lyrics..they just speak to me I guess..The following aren't really the soundtrack of my life..but just some of my favorite lyrics :)

"I don't tend to worry 'bout the things that other people say, and I'm learning that I wouldn't want it any other way.."-BNL, Life in a Nutshell

"Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right"-Grateful Dead, Scarlet Begonias

"And we never failed to fail,

SigmaChiCard 10-23-2001 03:00 PM

An old punk band I used to love called Reset had an amazing song called concern. It goes like this:
___________________________
You're living in this country
and you do not give a damn
about the people that are voted
and that rule this fucking land

this concerns our country
which means this concerns us all
even though you're lazy
you know what is right and wrong
exercise the right that you've been given
as a citizen
isn't that your duty
to democracy?

you listen to the news
you're a witness to abuse
and in stead of helping out
you just sit there
where's your concern?
___________________________

Dave says
"Oh, life it seems a struggle between
What we see, what we do
I'm not going to change my ways
Just to please you or appease you"
___________________________
as well as
"Could I have been anyone other than me"
___________________________
and lastly
"Would you not like to be...
Sitting on top of the world with
Your legs hanging free?"

veruca76 10-23-2001 03:01 PM

I used to be really into Ani DiFranco (I know what you're thinking and I just like the music!) Anyway, she has TONS of amazing lyrics. Here's some of my favorites:

Life is a B movie, it's stupid and it's strange
It's a directionless story and the dialogue is lame
But in the he said, she said sometimes there's some poetry
If you turn your back long enough and let it happen naturally

I build each one of my days out of hope.. and I give that hope your name..
And I don't know you that well but it don't take much to tell
Either you don't have the balls or you don't feel the same...

xok85xo 10-23-2001 04:10 PM

Okay, so I'm at work and procrastinating studying, I thought of some more..heh :)

"Your actions speak so loud I can't hear a word you're saying"-Bad Religion, I want to Conquer the World

"Forget regret, or life is yours to miss"-Rent,

"You left the state without me, shows how much you care about me..I could call but you could hang up.." AND

"My hearts on fire but my blood is frozen"- Juliana Hatfield, Little Pieces

"Confusion has it's cost"- Crosby, Stills, & Nash, Helplessly Hoping

"I want to be the one who walks in the sun"-Cyndi Lauper, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

"Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now"-Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Suite: Judy Blue Eyes

"How do you leave the past behind when it keeps finding ways to get to your heart"-Rent,


Okay, Really..I have to study now :) more later I'm sure b/c I'm a nerd/annoying like that..

Hmmm . . .
 
Music's sort of my "thing", so here's some favorites:

Well, I've strolled across some dance floors filled with girls all dressed in red,
pulled my foot from my mouth and took back the things I said -
Wandered through the valley of the shadow of the dead,
Stumbled upon this old sundial, there these words I read:

I only count the sunny hours, brightest hours of day -
I never count the gloomy hours, I let them slip away . . .

Then I realize I'm awake . . .

-Long Beach Dub Allstars, "Sunny Hours"


If I had a shotgun, know what I'd do? I'd point that shit straight at the sky, and shoot heaven on down for you - because the bar is always open, and the time is always right, and if God's good word goes unspoken, then the music goes all night . . .
-Sublime, "Don't Push"


You make up ridiculous words that mean exactly nothing - I know just what you mean, that's the funny thing . . .
-311, "Sweet"


Baby, you picked the wrong guy, if you think you're that fly . . .
-Tupac Shakur, "I Get Around"


F--- the first amendment, my speech was free the day my soul descended.
-Jurassic 5


I've got an idea for a movie, and here's my pitch: I get a job and quit my band, and you'll stop being a bitch.
-the Vandals


I can't be too cool in a tree with my pants down . . .

"You and I should get away for a while. I just want to be alone in your smile. Buy some candy and cigarettes and we'll get in my car. We'll blast the stereo and we'll drive to Madagascar." - Blink 182

"I only count the sunny hours, brightest hours of day - I never count the gloomy hours, I let them slip away" - Long Beach Dub All Stars

"In the bright of day, it might seem like stars are gone. They never leave, they come back when the sun moves on." - A New Found Glory

"He steps outta the shade and says something like, 'You and me babe, how bout it?'"

"Can't do the talk like they do on TV. And I can't do a love song like it's meant to be. I can't do everything, but I'd do anything for you. Can't do anything but be in love with you."
- Dire Straits

These are the ones I've thought of so far - there are a bunch more that pop into my head every once in a while.

Leann Womack ~I Hope You Dance
 
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance....I hope you dance.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

Dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance..
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone)

amycat412 10-25-2001 02:46 AM

You knew one of the resident Daveheads had to pipe up eventually, right?

But first a little Pearl Jam:
from Black:
"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be the sun, in somebody's else's sky, why oh why can't it be mine..."

And I DO have a great Dave Matthews cover of Black on mp3. lol

Now, DMB:

"The future is no place to place your better days" -Cry Freedom

"Love you drive me to distraction" - Two Step

"I can't believe that we would lie in our graves...Dreaming of things that we might have been" - Lie in Our Graves

"When I was young I didn't think about it, now I can't get it out of my mind" Bartender

" I have no lid upon my head but if i did, you could look inside and see what is on my mind." -- I Let You Down

"...And if nothing can be done, We'll make the Best of What's Around" - Best of What's Around

..It's crazy I'm thinking just knowing that the world is round and here I am dancing on the ground, am I right side up or upside down, and is this real or am I dreaming.. - Crush

"I will go in this way, and find my own way out" #41

"Celebrate we will...because life is short but sweet for certain." - Two Step

"You quench my heart and you quench my mind" - Two Step

"Winter's cold spring erases , And the calm away by the storm is chasing. Everything good needs replacing, hope all these changes happen with you. In my life, never before have I ever so adored her eyes, her hair, everything she says. My delight you tickle me inside, touch my heart, my mind. No matter what's inside I give it to her, no need to satisfy my hunger, lost in her. While I spend these hours 5 senses reeling, with biggest steps I'm running After Her...I will run...after her" After Her

And all the lyrics to "I'll Back you Up." but especially--
I remember thinking
I'll go on forever only knowing
I'll see you again
But I know
The touch of you is so hard to remember
But like that touch I know no other
AND
And for sure
we have danced in the risk of each other
would you like to dance around the world with me?
AND
I remember thinking
Sometimes we walk
Sometimes we run away
But I know
No matter how fast we are running
Somehow we keep
Somehow we keep up with each other




I could keep going on, but I realize you'd all have me committed. LOL

:D

"So now I'm praying for the end of time, so hurry up and arrive cause if I've gotta spend another minute with you I don't think that I could really survive. Let me break my promise, forget my vow, God only knows what I can do right now. I'm praying for the end of time, that's all that I can do. I'm praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you."

Some of His Tragic,
but I had a good life all the way" - He Went To Paris by Jimmy Buffet

I love music, I could have 9 million more of these.

Because the woman took a-lovin' over me

A tight tie-dyed dress, she was a psychedelic mess
We toured to the north, south, east and west
We sold some mushroom tea, we sold some ecstacy
We sold nitrous, opium, acid, heroin and PCP
And now I hear the police coming after me" - Scarlet Begonias by Sublime

Your all I hoped you'd become

Sister I see you
Dancing on the stage
Of memory
Sister I miss you

Fleeting visits pass
Still they satisfy
Reminders of the next
Overshadow goodbye
Our flames burn as one

Sister I see you
Dancing on the stage
Of memory
Sister I miss you

All I am begins with you
Thoughts of hope understood
Half of me breathes in you
Thoughts of love remain true

Here we are again saying goodbye
Still we fall asleep underneath the same sky
You're all I knew you'd become

Sister I see you
Dancing on the stage
Of memory
Sister I miss you

Entwined, you and I
Our souls speak from across the miles
Intertwined, you and I
Our blood flows from the same inside
Half of me, breathes in you
Thoughts of love remain true

I see you, I feel you
When I close my eyes
I see walking there...
I see you dancing in my mind"

Frank Sinatra- My Way
 
And now, the end is near;And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full.I've traveled each and ev'ry highway;
But more, much more than this,I did it my way.Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,But more, much more than this,I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knewWhen I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;And did it my way.
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,I find it all so amusing.To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,"No, oh no not me,I did it my way".
For what is a man, what has he got?If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -And did it my way!

kimmykimmy 10-25-2001 04:51 PM

Maybe you guys can help me. I love this song and I hear it on the radio and am dying which artist is singing it. It's a live performance and it's at least two guys. One I am pretty sure is Fred Durst. However, I don't think he is the main singer. It's somewhat slow and some of the lyrics are:


Cause I'm on the outside. I'm lookin in. I can see through you. See your true colors. Cause I you're ugly, ugly like me.


Can you tell me which band sings this please. Is is Staind with Fred Durst?

Thanks.

amycat412 10-25-2001 05:00 PM

Its Staind.

OUTSIDE is the name of the song.

No Fred Durst.

Haha - alphachiohmy, an ex-girlfriend put that up as her away message after she dumped me - she said it was kinda her way of telling me to move on with my life...so whenever I see that or hear that song, I kinda have to laugh. :D

kimmykimmy 10-25-2001 05:13 PM

Thank you! I looked it up and there is a live performance recording of it with Fred Durst. I knew I was close with the artist/name of the song and now I will buy the CD. Thanks again everyone!

I'm looking for quotes for a shirt for a party.
Last year it was
"Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full may it be again"

I've got some I'm looking at, see if you know any other good quotes by any bands that fit in with the others, or just seem to be a good outdoor bandfest party thought, something you might have heard at woodstock...that line of quote, really
  • Turns out not where but who you're with that really matters

    Yesterday is Gone
    but Tomorrow is Forever

    If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight

    All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arise
    All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to be free

    ..And if nothing can be done, We'll make the Best of What's Around

    The future is no place to place your better days

    is this real, or am I dreaming?

    And for a moment, this good time, would never end.

Anyway, some of my favorite lyrics...

Everything is possible with
a lot of luck,
a pretty face,
and some time to waste.

I quit, I give up, nothings good enough for anybody else.

Stay in touch with my insanity
Really is the only way
It's a jungle out there kiddies
Have a very fruitful day

The Buffet "Stay in touch with my insanity...." quote is good, as is "Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum and we ended up drinking all night," also a Buffet quote.

"And you read your Emily Dickinson,
And I my Robert Frost,
And we note our place with bookmarkers
That measure what we've lost.
Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of rhythm,
Couplets out of rhyme,
In syncopated time
And The Dangling Conversation
And the superficial sighs
Are the borders of our lives" - Simon & Garfunkle "Dangling Conversation"
(this whole song is filled with great lines)

"And the Moonlight Beams
On the Girl of My Dreams
She's the SweatHeart of Sigma Chi"

"Whenever the head is severed
from the human body with a sharp enough weapon
the brain remains conscious for 10 seconds
long enough for me to give you one last message
and when you get to Hell,
you can tell Lucifer I said it" - Canibus

"I've got divine chromosomes in me
My sperm will scramble the eggs in a woman's ovaries" - Canibus

" 'Stop all this weeping, swallow your pride
You will not die, it's not poison' "
-and-
"The Commander-in-Chief answers him while chasing a fly
Saying, 'Death to all those who would whimper and cry'
And dropping a bar bell he points to the sky
Saving, 'The sun's not yellow, it's chicken' " - Bob Dylan "Tombstone Blues"

And The Story of Life, Right Here
"Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift" - Bob Dylan "Subterranean Homesick Blues"

"You'd rather see me paralyzed" - Dylan "Positively 4th Street"

"I'd like to cut your head off so I could weigh it, what do ya say?" - Phish "Weigh"

"I took a moment from my day
wrapped it up in things you say
mailed it off to your address
you'll get it pretty soon I guess"

"And I said, Whatcha lookin' at? He hit me across the face with a bat" O.A.R. ""Crazy Game of Poker"

I'm sorry for boring some of you with how many damn songs I write here, but this is one that if you like funny songs, you MUST get, I have to write nearly all of the song, because I cannot pick a best verse

"Here I am, on my legs
I'm standing, standing here
Under me there is a place
And I'm standing on it
Here I am
And I'll be here forever
Unless I move over here

There I was just a minute ago
But I'm not there now, no
I'm here now, here again
But a different here
An eternal here, and eternal now
And I'm walking, I'm moving
I see you
My eyes are looking
I know you're there
Because at the end of my look you're there
I have eyes in my head
And I love you
When I look at you, you sometimes see me
If you're looking at me
And if you're not looking, then you don't
But I love you, I love you

I love you
I'm all alone
I'm here in my house alone
And I think of you
Lying in my bed
I look over out of the window
I see your face
And I'm frightened
'Cause I live on the eighth floor
You must be really, really tall
You scare me" Corky and the Juice Pigs "REMember"

Sunrise doesn't last all morning
A cloudburst doesn't last all day
Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning
It's not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away

Sunset doesn't last all evening
A mind can blow those clouds away
After all this, my love is up and must be leaving
It's not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
None of life's strings can last
So, I must be on my way
And face another day

Now the darkness only stays the night-time
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good at arriving at the right time
It's not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
All things must pass away

Here are some of my favorite lyrics. I am a big country fan!

What I Really Meant to Say by Cyndy Thompson

It caught me by surprise, when I saw you standing there-
Close enough to touch, breathing the same air.
You ask me how I've been, I guess that's when I smiled and said, "Just fine."
OH, but baby, I was dyin.

What I really meant to say, is I'm dyin here inside-
And I miss you more each day,
There's not a night I haven't cried.
And baby, here's the truth, I am still in love with you.



Love the song- it's so close to home! :)

SigmaChiCard 04-03-2002 05:23 PM

"I feel home,
when I see the faces that remember my own,
I feel home
when I'm chillin outside with the people I know
I feel home
and that's just what i feel
home to me is reality
and all i ned is something real"
> O.A.R. - I feel home

"You gave me nothing now it's all I've got"
> U2 - With or Without You

"Could Dad be God?"
> DMB - Spoon

"You Make Me come
You Make me complete
You make me completely miserable"
???
(I heard an analysis of this song parralling it to the progression of lust-based relationships...it was pretty interesting...just substitute 'um' for 'ome' for the first 'come'. not trying to be nasty, but I'd venture to say that was their intent)

KSig RC 04-03-2002 09:05 PM

got nothing better to do...
 
I hear the bass ride out like an ancient mating call, I can't take it y'all - I can feel the city breathing, chest heaving against the flesh of the evening; a sigh before I die, like the last train leaving . . .
-Mos Def

Well, you're pretty good looking, for a girl, but your back is so broken . . .
-the White Stripes

The plaster dented from your fist in hall where your first kiss, reminds you that the memories will fade . . .
-Dashboard Confessional

I ain't never been right if I ain't never been wrong, it seldom works out the way it does in this song - but once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right . . .
-the Grateful Dead
