Single Line/verse Of A Song

[Ravenous megin-sane]

Ummm, so...

 

I was wondering if maybe

You could do something next Friday

Cause I think your band is pretty great

And your hair looks really cute that way

 

And I know this might seem sudden and crazy

But these are the things I could never find a way to say

 

And if you'd be my girl

It would be so cool

If you'd if my girl

It'd be so indie rock

It's a shame

[Monkey]

death cab for cutie-i will follow you into the dark

 

if heaven and hell decide

that they both are satisfied

illuminate the nos on their vacancy signs

if there's no one beside you

when your soul embarks

then i'll follow you into the dark

 

-it's sappy mush, but i love it.

Great song! Love the lyrics

[Audio of Being]

Well I heard there was a secret chord

that David played and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do ya?

Well it goes like this :

The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift

The baffled king composing Hallelujah

 

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

 

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya

And she tied you to her kitchen chair

She broke your throne and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

 

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

 

(Yeah but) Baby I've been here before

I've seen this room and I've walked this floor, (You know)

I used to live alone before I knew ya

And I've seen your flag on the marble arch

and love is not a victory march

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

 

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

 

Well there was a time when you let me know

What's really going on below

But now you never show that to me do ya

But remember when I moved in you

And the holy dove was moving too

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

 

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

 

Hallelujah...

 

Maybe there's a God above

But all I've ever learned from love

Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya

And it's not a cry that you hear at night

It's not somebody who's seen the light

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

 

I will never forget the 1st time I heard this song, as it was played as I left a funeral for a friend, as it played, we all just stopped and took it in.

[Ravenous megin-sane]

i listened to tht song roughly 30 times last night

[Audio of Being]

i listened to tht song roughly 30 times last night

it is just awesome isn't it? the emotion felt in the song, and the rawness of it also

[bishopx]

He said i'm gonna buy this place and burn it down

I'm gonna put it six feet underground

He said I'm gonna buy this place and watch it fall

Stand here beside me baby in the crumbling walls

Oh I'm gonna buy this place and start a fire

Stand here until I fill all your hearts desires

Because I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn

Do back the things it did to you in return

 

He said oh I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war

If you can tell me something worth fighting for

Oh and I'm gonna buy this place, that's what I said

Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head

This is one of my favorite songs. I think I actually posted some of this awhile back.

[Some Random]

one of my favorites of all time. more than makes up for the shit that is 'yellow'.

[Shiri]

Amazing song indeed. Jeff's version.

[Some Random]

little atoms - elvis costello

 

And if you still don't like my song then you can just go to hell

I don't care if I'm right or wrong or if my typewriter can spell

But I cannot promise you I've said "Goodbye" to childish things

There's still some pretty insults left and such sport in threatening

[shade]

immerse your soooooooooooouuuulllll innnnn LOOOOVVVVEEEEEEE

[Sparq]

I'm sorry about the sun

How could I know that you would burn?

And I'm sorry about the moon

How could I know that you'd disapprove

 

And I'll never make the same mistake

The next time I create the universe

I'll make sure we communicate at length

Oh yeah

 

But until then, better off dead

A smile on the lips and a hole in the head

Better off dead, yeah better than this

Take it away, 'cause there's nothing to miss

[Some Random]

^wicked song. wicked album.

 

the wonderful thing about tiggers

a tigger's a wonderful thing

their tops are made of rubber

their bottoms are made of spring

they're bouncy bouncy bouncy bouncy

fun fun fun fun fun

the most wonderful thing about tiggers of all

i'm the only one

i'm...the only one

[Some Random]

all things considered - mighty mighty bosstones

 

There is this older guy

that comes around from time to time

We're sure that he fought in the war

The war in Vietnam

Most of what he tells us

No one's verified

He swears he was there

The day that Brendan Behan died

He also claims he trained

A kid named Cassius Clay

And cost Goldwater the election

On elections day

If he was still with us today

Then he would introduce

Us to his closest friend

the one and only Lenny Bruce

 

The truth is what he's been through

What he's had to do

What he's seen, and what he's done

All things considered, what he's telling us

Isn't hurting anyone

 

We knew it's true

He's short a few

Check out the deck, it's light

Said he wrote the entire soundtrack for A Hard Day's Night

On Peyton Place played second place

He says but he regrets

The stadium was Shea, the team, the New York Mets

 

The truth is what he's been through

What he's had to do

What he's seen, and what he's done

All things considered, what he's telling us

Isn't hurting anyone

All things considered he's not bitter, He's not mean, no he's not done

All things considered, what he's telling us

Isn't hurting anyone

 

There is this older guy...

 

--love that song. it reminds me of this crazy guy we met when we were teenagers, who always had these crazy stories. like claiming he built the hubble space telescope, but hadn't been paid by nasa yet. the first night we met him, we sat at the table next to him in a tim horton's. we were either drunk or high as kites, i can't remember which. he looked at us and told us that we were going to hell, matter of factly.

[beerman37]

Not sure if anyone mentioned this one or not..>Its from Elton's John's "The Captain & The Kid" album and the song is a great tribute to New York City called "I Wouldn't Have You Any Other Way". In particular, I LOVE this verse - it has some terrific imagery :

 

"Oh the subway rumbled underneath

Italian lights where Joey Gallo died

And the man at the door down at 54

is letting only the pretty inside"

[soundless_space]

Can't go with my heart when I can't feel what's in it.

[Some Random]

spooky girlfriend - elvis costello

 

she says, "Are you looking up my skirt?"

When you say "No"

She says "Why not?"

[Shiri]

Haha, awesome!

[beerman37]

Gotta love Elvis Costello!! I'm gonna locate that song on Itunes just for that line

[shade]

so alone

bound together

 

 

 

Edit:

 

Also

 

 

And my ashes find a way beyond the fog

And return to save the child that I forgot

 

And my ashes fade among the things unseen

And a dream plays in reverse on piano keys

 

And my ashes drop upon a park in Wales

Never-ending clouds of rain, and distant sails... distant sails

Can't go with my heart when I can't feel what's in it.

Ohh what song is this??? i really like the line!

 

This is a song I heard a few years ago..

 

Sense field - Save Yourself

 

You met in a bar

The back of a car

And for a moment

You felt important

But not in your heart

Cuz my self esteem

It

still remains - stp

 

pick a song and sing of yellow nectarine

take a bath, i'll drink the water that you leave

if you should die before me ask if you can bring a friend

pick a flower, hold your breath, and drift away

[Ravenous megin-sane]

Why don't you ever want to play?

I'm tired of this piece of string.

You sleep as much as I do now, and you

don't eat much of anything.

 

I don't know who you're talking to

I made a search through every room,

but all I found was dust that moved

in shadows of the afternoon.

 

And listen,

about those bitter songs you sing?

They're not helping anything.

They won't make you strong.

 

So, we should open up the house.

Invite the tabby two doors down.

You could ask your sister, if

she doesn't bring her Basset Hound.

Ask the things you shouldn't miss:

tape-hiss and the Modern Man,

The Cold War and Card Catalogues,

to come and join us if they can,

 

for girly drinks and parlor games.

We'll pass around the easy lie

of absolutely no regrets,

and later maybe you could try

to let your losses dangle off

the sharp edge of a century,

and talk about the weather, or

how the weather used to be.

 

And I'll cater

with all the birds that I can kill.

Let their tiny feathers fill

disappointment.

 

Lie down;

lick the sorrow from your skin.

Scratch the terror and begin

to believe you're strong.

 

All you ever want to do is drink and watch TV,

and frankly that thing doesn't really interest me.

I swear I'm going to bite you hard and taste your tinny blood

if you don't stop the self-defeating lies you've been repeating

since the day you brought me home.

I know you're strong.

[shade]

A boy with a coin he found in the weeds

With bullets and pages of trade magazines

Close to a car that flipped on the turn

When God left the ground to circle the world

[Moonlight_Graham]

the greatest song lyrics ever:

"Get In The Ring" by Guns N Roses:

 

 

And that goes for all you punks in the press

That want to start shit by printin' lies

Instead of the things we said

That means you

Andy Secher at Hit Parader

Circus Magazine

Mick Wall at Kerrang

Bob Guccione Jr. at Spin,

What you pissed off cuz your dad gets more

pussy than you?

Fuck you

Suck my fuckin' dick

 

 

You be rippin' off the fuckin' kids

While they be payin' their hard earned

money to read about the bands

They want to know about

Printin' lies startin' controversy

You wanta antagonize me

Antagonize me motherfucker

Get in the ring motherfucker

And I'll kick your bitchy little ass

Punk

I Am Trying to Break Your Heart by Wilco

 

Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning

Let's undress like cross-eyed strangers

This is not a joke so please stop smiling

What was I thinking when it said it didn't hurt?
