The "Post Your Favourite Lyrics!" thread

[ring_wraith]

What would music be without lyrics? Go ahead and post what you think are some great lyrics. No genre, language or other restrictions!

Lets just try and not post entire songs.. just post the part you love most.

I'll start off :

Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began

-From "The Pretender" by Foo Fighters

 

[thewisecrab]

As the guards march me out to the courtyard,
Somebody cries from a cell God be with you.
If there's a God then why has he let me go?

As I walk my life drifts before me,
Though the end is near I'm not sorry.
Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away.

Mark my words believe my soul lives on
Don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to see the truth

When you know that your time is close at hand.
Maybe then you'll begin to understand,
Life down here is just a strange illusion

From
Hallowed Be Thy Name - Iron Maiden

So every day I see you in some other face
They crack a smile, talk a while
Try to take your place
My memory serves me far too well

I just sit here on this mountain thinking to myself
Youre a fool boy
Why dont you go down
Find somebody
Find somebody else
My memory serves me far too well

Find somebody
Find somebody else
My memory serves me far too well

what song is that? post the song name.

Let me tell you a secret
Put it in your heart and keep it
Something that I want you to know
Do something for me
Listen to my simple story
And maybe well have something to show

I've seen many girls fall for @$$hole and later they regret!!! One of them I had crush on...lol....and this song's lyrics sums up my feelings perfectly!

He takes you out and he takes you up
'cause he can show you so much
I go to bed and tomorrow again
there's a lot of work to be done

He gives you gold and he'll promise you
the whole world will be yours
I just can tell you I love you so
even though my odds are low

I’m not an actor I'm not a star
and I don't even have my own car
But I'm hoping so much you’ll stay
that you will love me anyway

The dirty games and the neonshows
this is the world he knows
Watching the stars satisfies my soul
thinking of him makes me feel so cold

The fancy cars and the restaurants
you’re just so fond of the man
Sometimes I wonder if you are blind
can’t you see, he’s got dirt on his mind

I’m not an actor I'm not a star
and I don't even have my own car
But I'm hoping so much you’ll stay
that you will love me anyway

Ek Din Aap Yoon Humko Mil Jayenge
Phool Hi Phool Raahon Mein Khil Jayenge
Maine Socha Na Tha
Ek Din Aap Yoon Humko Mil Jayenge
Phool Hi Phool Raahon Mein Khil Jayenge
Maine Socha Na Tha

Ek Din Zindagi Itni Hogi Haseen
Jhoomega Aasmaan Gaayegi Ye Zameen
Ek Din Zindagi Itni Hogi Haseen
Jhoomega Aasmaan Gaayegi Ye Zameen
Maine Socha Na Tha

Yes Boss

Met a girl, thought she was grand
fell in love, found out first hand
went well for a week or two
then it all came unglued

in a trapped trip I can't grip
never thought I'd be the one who'd slip
then I started to realize
I was living one big lie

She ****ing hates me
trust
she ****ing hates me
la la la love
I tried too hard
and she tore my feelings like I had none
and ripped them away

She Hates Me by Puddle of Mud

well i think that unless its a romantic piece of lyric there is no point in posting it.songs with good lyrics might be a good idea though

I agree. Though I like the music, I think lyrics of heavy metal songs are trashy.

 

[Kl@w-24]

How many years have we waited
For a ship that never set sail?
How many days have we wasted
Chasing a love that was not our own?

I sat ashore and watched as one
Hopeless wave crashed upon another
While my thoughts ran to the highest hills
My heart never, never reached the sea
With only delusions of an endless journey
I am left with an ocean between you and me
An ocean between

Is this your salvation?
Is this all you can give?
I will not stand in reflection
Of someone else’s dream

The gate to my heart has been weld shut
With the splendor of my aspirations closed in

How many years have we waited
For a ship that never set sail?
How many days have we wasted
Chasing a love that was not our own?

Is this your salvation?

I demand you take that back.
The lyrics I posted were from one of the most influential heavy metal band -Iron Maiden.
The song, Hallowed Be Thy Name, is revolving around a convict who is about to be hanged for his crimes, who claims that he will stare back at the gallows pole and is not afraid of dying, but is, in reality, petrified and does not want to die.

Listen to the song here.

Agreed, there are some songs with lyrics which most wont like, but that doesnt give you the right to label the entire metal genre's lyrics as "thrashy" .

Just my view, I dont want to make a mountain out of a mole here.

 

[sujoyp]

Oops sab angrezi gana sunte hain..great..

I love Dostana Song
"Jane kyon Dil jaanta hai, tu hai to I will be alright"

It has great lyrics...exactly fits me with my best friend(girl)

Yeah, I didn't notice that. I like that song but I had not read the lyrics so carefully. But I would still stick to my views. Heavy metal songs are way too spiritual for me to understand. I won't call them trashy but you know terms like "the soul", "the devil", "death", etc. do make them sound dark and gloomy.
I would still prefer cheerful, romantic songs from the beatles, george michael, etc.

Who's he?

Lol ! I meant @$$holes!!

 

[alexanderthegreat]

My favourite lyrics:-

Ek ghatna ghati anokhi
Bhola Laane gaya tha lauki
Beech bajariya bhari dupahariya,
Sab ne kaati chikoti, bole "NOO PINCH".

-"Are dhoot! Ee ta hamar purana busat hai!!!"
("What the hell? This is an old shirt of mine!")

I just love that Tide ad!

It depends on how you look at it, that's all
There are many metal bands that dont keep death as their subject, like Metallica (Iron Maiden does make music with lyrics using "Devil" "Death" etc. but the song always turns out to be lively rather than gloomy)
On such example is:
The Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden

"Woe to you, O Earth and Sea,
For the Devil sends the Beast with wrath,
Because he knows that time is short.
Let him who hath understanding reckon the Number of the Beast,
For it is a human number.
Its number is six hundred-and-sixty-six."

I left alone, my mind was blank.
I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind.
What did I see, can I believe,
That what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy.
Just what I saw, in my old dreams,
Was the reflections of my warped mind staring back at me.
'Cause in my dreams, it's always there,
The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

The night was black, was no use holding back,
'Cause I had to see, was someone watching me.
In the mist, dark figures move and twist,
Was this all for real, or just some kind of hell.
666 the Number of the Beast.
Hell and fire was spawned to be released.

It might sound all "dark" and "horror"-like.
But now check out the actual song:

You'll see

Just my 2 paisa
