Your Fave Lyrics

[bored-a-line]

i didnt have one lyric that was poiniant enough to warrant its own thread, so heres a thread for lyrics that people think are outstanding, if not totally relevant...

Cause love's such an old fashioned word

And love dares you to care

For the people on the edge of the light

And love dares you to change our way

Of caring about ourselves

This is our last dance

This is our last dance

This is ourselves under pressure

oh yeah and this is a classic...

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack

And you may find yourself in another part of the world

And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile

And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful

Wife

And you may ask yourself-well...how did I get here?

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by/water flowing underground

Into the blue again/after the money’s gone

Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

And you may ask yourself

What is that beautiful house?

And you may ask yourself

Where does that highway go?

And you may ask yourself

Am I right? ...am I wrong?

And you may tell yourself

My god!...what have I done?

Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...

Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...

[bored-a-line]

There will come a time to your life

When you ask yourself a series of questions

Am I happy with who I am

Am I happy with the people around

Am I happy with what I am doing

Am I happy with the way my life is going

Do I have a life

Or am I just living

Do not let these questions restrain or trouble you

Just point yourself in the direction of your dreams

Find your strength from the sound

And make your transition

Make your transition

Do I spend too much time thinking

And not enough doing

Did I try my hardest than any of my dreams

Did I purposely let others discourage me when I knew I could

Will I die never knowing what I could have been or could have done

Do not let these questions restrain or trouble you

Just point yourself in the direction of your dreams

Find your strength from the sound

And make your transition

Make your transition

There will be people who will say you can’t

But you will (you will)

There will be people who will say you don’t mix this with that

And you will say watch me (watch me)

There will be people who will say play it safe, that’s too risky

And you will take that chance and have no fear (no fear)

Do not let these questions restrain or trouble you

Just point yourself in the direction of your dreams

Find your strength from the sound

And make your transition

Make your transition

For those who know

It’s time to leave the house

And go back to the field

Find your strength from the sound

It’s whatcha gotta do in the first f-cking place

theres more but i cant find it...Transition by Mad Mike

"Learning To Fly"

Into the distance, a ribbon of black

Stretched to the point of no turning back

A flight of fancy on a windswept field

Standing alone my senses reeled

A fatal attraction holding me fast, how

Can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings

Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything

No navigator to guide my way home

Unladened, empty and turned to stone

A soul in tension that's learning to fly

Condition grounded but determined to try

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,

My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,

Across the clouds I see my shadow fly

Out of the corner of my watering eye

A dream unthreatened by the morning light

Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this

Suspended animation, A state of bliss

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Pink Floyd

"Why"

How many times do I have to try to tell you

That I'm sorry for the things I've done

But when I start to try to tell you

That's when you have to tell me

Hey... this kind of trouble's only just begun

I tell myself too many times

Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut

That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words

That keep on falling from your mouth

Falling from your mouth

Falling from your mouth

Tell me...

Why

Why

I may be mad

I may be blind

I may be viciously unkind

But I can still read what you're thinking

And I've heard is said too many times

That you'd be better off

Besides...

Why can't you see this boat is sinking

(this boat is sinking this boat is sinking)

Let's go down to the water's edge

And we can cast away those doubts

Some things are better left unsaid

But they still turn me inside out

Turning inside out turning inside out

Tell me...

Why

Tell me...

Why

This is the book I never read

These are the words I never said

This is the path I'll never tread

These are the dreams I'll dream instead

This is the joy that's seldom spread

These are the tears...

The tears we shed

This is the fear

This is the dread

These are the contents of my head

And these are the years that we have spent

And this is what they represent

And this is how I feel

Do you know how I feel ?

'cause i don't think you know how I feel

I don't think you know what I feel

I don't think you know what I feel

You don't know what I feel

Annie Lennox

[Alexa]

wow I love pink Floyd

Everlong-Foo Fighters

Hello, I've waited here for you, everlong

Tonight, I throw myself into and out of the red,

Out of her head she sang

Come down and waste away with me, down with me

Slow how, you wanted it to be,

I'm over my head, out of her head she sang

And I wonder when I sing along with you

If everything could ever feel this real forever

If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you

You've got to promise not to stop when I say when

She sang

Breathe out, so I can breathe you in, hold you in

And now, I know you've always been out of your head,

Out of my head I sang

And I wonder when I sing along with you

If everything could ever feel this real forever

If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you

You've got to promise not to stop when I say

When she sang

And I wonder if everything could ever feel this real forever

If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you

You've got to promise not to stop when I say when

[calyps]

counting crows always does it for me:

The smell of hospitals in winter, and the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters but no pearl

I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her.

Under pressure, what a great song- I like the line 'why can't we give ourselves one more chance'

[Amy]

Yes, I love Pink Floyd!!

I apologize in advance if I become a thread hog. I will try to watch it. I do not have talent to write, so I express myself in others' music. I love music, I find words and sounds to fit my every mood, my every emotion. So on with it. I just am very thankful this thread was started. Thank you bored-a-line.

"Comfortably Numb"

Hello,

Is there anybody in there

Just nod if you can hear me

Is there anyone at home

Come on now

I hear you're feeling down

I can ease your pain

And get you on your feet again

Relax

I'll need some information first

Just the basic facts

Can you show me where it hurts

There is no pain, you are receding

A distant ship smoke on the horizon

You are coming through in waves

Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying

When I was a child I had a fever

My hands felt just like two balloons

Now I've got that feeling once again

I can't explain, you would not understand

This is not how I am

I have become comfortably numb

O.K.

Just a little pin prick

There'll be no more aaaaaaaah!

But you may feel a little sick

Can you stand up?

I do believe it's working, good

That'll keep you going through the show

Come on it's time to go.

There is no pain you are receding

A distant ship smoke on the horizon

You are only coming through in waves

Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying

When I was a child

I caught a fleeting glimpse

Out of the corner of my eye

I turned to look but it was gone

I cannot put my finger on it now

The child is grown

The dream is gone

And I have become

Comfortably numb.

Pink Floyd (of course)

[Tory]

I love this song.

Your winter

The grey ceiling on the earth

Well it's lasted for a while

Take my thoughts for what they're worth

I've been acting like a child

Your opinion, what is that?

It's just a different point of view

What else, what else can I do?

I said I'm sorry, yeah, I'm sorry

I said I'm sorry, but what for?

If I hurt you then I hate myself

I don't want to hate myself,

don't want to hurt you

Why do you choose your pain if you only knew

How much I love you love you

Well I won't be your winter

And i won't be anyone's excuse to cry

And we can be forgiven

And I will be here

Old picture on the shelf

It's been there for a while

A frozen image of ourselves

We were acting like a child

Innocence and in a trance

A dance that lasted for a while

Read my eyes just like a diary

Oh remember, please remember

Well I'm not a begger, but whats more

If I hurt you then I hate myself

I dont want to hate myself, dont want to hurt you

Why do you choose that pain if only you knew

How much I love you, nooo

cumfortably numb...definitely!

Mad World Lyrics

Artist: Gary Jules

Album: Donny Darko Soundtrack

All around me are familiar faces

Worn out places – worn out faces

Bright and early for their daily races

Going nowhere – going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses

No expression – no expression

Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow

No tomorrow – no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad

The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had

I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take

When people run in circles it’s a very very

mad world mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good

Happy birthday – happy birthday

Made to feel the way that every child should

Sit and listen – sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous

No one knew me – no one knew me

Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson

Look right through me – look right through me

And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad

The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had

I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take

When people run in circles it’s a very very

Mad world . . . world

Enlarge your world

Mad world

Black & White

unravel me

a distant cord

on the outside is forgotten

a constant need

to get along

and the animal awakens

and all I feel is black and white

the road is long

the memory slides

to the whole of my undoing

put aside

I put away

I push it back to get through each day

and all I feel is black and white

and I'm wound up small and tight

and I don't know who I am

everybody loves you when you're easy

everybody hates when you're a bore

everyone is waiting for your entrance so

don't disappoint them

unravel me

untie this chord

the very centre of our union

is caving in

I can't endure

I am the archive of our failure

and all I feel is black and white

and I'm wound up small and tight

and I don't know who I am

everybody loves you when you're easy

everybody hates when you're a bore

everyone is waiting for your entrance so

don't disappoint them

everybody loves you when you're easy so

don't disappoint them

don't disappoint them ...

"In The Flesh?"

So ya

Thought ya

Might like to go to the show

To feel the warm thrill of confusion and

That space cadet glow

Tell me is something eluding you sunshine?

Is this not what you expected to see?

If you'd like to find out what's behind these cold eyes?

You'll just have to claw your way through the

Disguise

Pink Floyd----from The Wall

[Lauren]

So unimpressed, but so in awe

Such a saint, but such a whore

So self-aware, so full of shit

So indecisive, so adament

I'm contemplating, thinkin' about thinkin'

It's overrated, just get another drink and

Watch me come undone

They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street

I pray when I'm coming down, you'll be asleep

If I ever hurt you, your revenge will be so sweet

Because I'm scum, and I'm your son

I come undone

I come undone

So rock 'n' roll, so corporate suit

So damn ugly, so damn cute

So well-trained, so animal

So need your love, so fuck you all

I'm not scared of dying, I just don't want to

If I stop lying, I'll just disappoint you

Come undone

They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street

Come undone

I pray when I'm coming down, you'll be asleep

Come undone

If I ever hurt you, your revenge will be so sweet

Because I'm scum, and I'm your son

I come undone

So write another ballad, mix it on a Wednesday

Sell it on a Thursday buy a yacht on Saturday

It's a love song, a love song

Do another interview, sing a bunch of lies

Tell about celebrities that I despise

And sing love songs, we sing love songs so sincere

So sincere

Come undone

They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street

Come undone

I pray when I'm coming down, you'll be asleep

Come undone

The young pretend you're in the clouds above the sea

I come undone

I am scum

Love your son

You've gotta love your son

Come undone

You've gotta love you son

Come undone

Love your son

I am scum

I am scum

I am scum

I am scum

I am scum

I am scum

Bedshaped Lyrics

by Keane

Many's the time I ran with you down

The rainy roads of your old town

Many the lives we lived in each day

And buried altogether

Don't laugh at me

Don't look away

You'll follow me back

With the sun in your eyes

And on your own

Bedshaped

And legs of stone

You'll knock on my door

And up we'll go

In white light

I don't think so

But what do I know?

What do I know?

I know!

I know you think I'm holding you down

And I've fallen by the wayside now

And I don't understand the same things as you

But I do

Don't laugh at me

Don't look away

You'll follow me back

With the sun in your eyes

And on your own

Bedshaped

And legs of stone

You'll knock on my door

And up we'll go

In white light

I don't think so

But what do I know?

What do I know?

I know!

And up we'll go

In white light

I don't think so

But what do I know?

What do I know?

I know!

[zippy]

Everybodys changing. Keane

You say you wander your own land

But when I think about it

I don't see how you can

You're aching, you're breaking

And I can see the pain in your eyes

Says everybody's changing

And I don't know why

So little time

Try to understand that I'm

Trying to make a move just to stay in the game

I try to stay awake and remember my name

But everybody's changing

And I don't feel the same

You're gone from here

And soon you will disappear

Cause everybody's changing

And I don't feel right

So little time

Try to understand that I'm

Trying to make a move to stay in the game

I try to stay awake and remember my name

But everybody's changing

And I don't feel the same

So little time

Try to understand that I'm

Trying to make a move to stay in the game

I try to stay awake and remember my name

But everybody's changing

And I don't feel the same

[zippy]

cant stop now. keane

I noticed tonight that the world has been turning

While I've been stood here dithering around

Well I know I said I'd wait around till you need me

But I have to go, I hate to let you down

But I can't stop now

I've got trouble of my own

Cos I'm short on time

I'm lonely and I'm too tired to talk

I noticed tonight that the world has been turning

While I've been stood here withering away

Well I know I said I wouldn't leave you behind

But I have to go, it breaks my heart to say

That I can't stop now

I've got troubles of my own

Cos I'm short on time

I'm lonely and I'm too tired to talk

To no one back home

I've got troubles of my own

And I can't slow down for no one in town

No I can't stop now

And I can't slow down for no one in town

And I can't stop now for no one

The motion keeps my heart running

The motion keeps my heart running

The motion keeps my heart running

The motion keeps my heart running

I'll sing it one last time for you

Then we really have to go

You've been the only thing that's right

In all I've done

And I can barely look at you

But every single time I do

I know we'll make it anywhere

Away from here

Light up, light up

As if you have a choice

Even if you cannot hear my voice

I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder

And we'll run for our lives

I can hardly speak I understand

Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes

Makes it so hard not to cry

And as we say our long goodbye

I nearly do

Light up...

Slower slower

We don't have time for that

All I want is to find an easier way

To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear

We're bound to be afraid

Even if it's just for a few days

Making up for all this mess

Zippy you have great taset in music

Evanesence - My Immortal

I'm so tired of being here.

Suppressed by all my childish fears.

And if you have to leave,

I wish that you would just leave.

Cause your presence still lingers here,

and it won't leave me alone.

These wounds won't seem to heal,

this pain is just too real,

there's just too much that time cannot erase.

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears.

I held your hand through all of these years.

But you still have...

All of me.

You used to captivate me by your resonating mind,

Now I'm bound by the life you left behind.

Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams

Your voice has chased away all the sanity in me.

These wounds won't seem to heal,

this pain is just too real,

there's just too much that time cannot erase.

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears.

I held your hand through all of these years.

But you still have...

All of me.

I tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone.

But though you're still with me,

I've been alone all along.

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears.

I held your hand through all of these years.

But you still have...

All of me.

[MrRoboto]

I notice a lot of Pink Floyd here. IMO the greatest band of all time-and Rolling Stone in a recent article only rated "Comfortably Numb" at 320 out of the 500 greatest songs of all time. I think that I am now going to boycott Rolling Stone magazine for such heresy

P.S.- I am just kidding about boycotting them :)

[bpmonki]

Here by v.a.s.t

where do i put the shame?

it feels like a broken toy

i can't play with anymore

where do i put the hate?

to a pixilated screen

i can't watch anymore

all i know is that i'm here

drifting somewhere in the vast

somewhere in eternity

and i never want to leave

where do i put the books

there's so many i could read

but they all are filled with lies

where do i put the lies

there's so many i could say

but it seems they're in the books

i have faith that you're out there

living high up in the vast

somewhere in eternity

and you're never going to leave

have i been telling lies to myself?

hold me now

you know i'm so afraid to be at all

have i been telling lies to myself?

hold me now

you know i'm so afraid to love at all

i looked up and i saw the moon

is it the same one that betrayed you?

i looked up and i saw my place

i looked in and i felt no hate

where do i put the love?

where do i put the love?

where do i put the love?

[bpmonki]

Somewhere Else to Be v.a.s.t

every time i cry out

no one ever comes to me

every time that i reach out

no one ever rescues me

i wish i could hide from everyone

is there somewhere else to be?

is there somewhere else to be?

take me in

i want out

that's all i need

i wish i could run from everything

is there somewhere else to be

is there somewhere else to be

take me in

i want out

that's all i need

Incomplete by Bad Religion

mother, father, look at your little monster

I'm a hero, I'm a zero, I'm the butt of the worst joke in history

I'm a lock without a key, a city with no door

a prayer without faith,a show without a score

I'm a bad word, a wink, a nod, a shiver

an untold story, sex without fury

a creeping gray memory

I am incomplete

doctor, cure me; what is the cause of my condition

this madness shoots me like bullets smashing glass in silent movie

I'm a trap without a spring, a temple with no god

a jack without an ace, the tip of your tongue

I'm a promise, an unmailed letter

an unbuilt motor, deck without a joker

a creeping gray memory

I am incomplete

tell Saint Peter not to bet on me

I am a naked obsession

a good intention gone bad

I am incomplete

ok stopping now

[zippy]
