Whether it's just your favourite line or if it applies to you or if it makes you smile or if it makes you cry....What do you think is the best line you've heard?
Mine would have to be from 'Time' by Pink Floyd....
...and then one day you find ten years have got behind you no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun....
Sums up my life...
....Orda

I can relate to that one.
For me, Heart rules the Head when it comes to music and lyrics. Most will likely think mine silly, but it is:
"I will always love you."
Couldn't get it out of my head after my mom died. Seems to apply to so many other people now too. It's my fave.

GG Allin's Commit Suicide-
"If you're listening to this song, and everything's going wrong, take your chance on the other side..."
Nine Inch Nails "Closer"
"I want to **** you like an animal"
Nine Inch Nails "Into the Void"
"Talking to myself on the way to the station, pictures in my head of the final destination."
KoRn "Right Now"
So why'd I feel the need?
I think it's time to bleed
I'm gonna cut myself
and watch the blood hit the ground.
Marylin Manson, "Cake and Sodomy"
"White Trash get down on your knees/Time for Cake and Sodomy"
(Hed)PE "Suck it Up"

Orgy "Blue Monday"
"How does it feel? How Should I feel? Tell me how does it feel, to treat me like you do?"
Deftones and Soulfly "First Commandment"

nice contrast. ~:)
I'm a big NiN fan too. One of my favorites of Trent's is:
... he flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line
He made a virus to kill off all the swine
his perfect kingdom of killing suffering and pain
demands devotion atrocities done in his name
god is dead
And no one cares
if there is a hell
I'll see you there ... .
- "heresy," from the Downward Spiral, Trent Reznor/Nine Inch Nails
"Somewhere a queen is wheeping
Somewhere a king has no wife"
Jimi Hendrix Wind cries Mary
"Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."
All along the watchtower
"I would rather walk alone
than chase you around
I would rather fall myself
than let you drag me down"
Ben Harper, another lonely day (brilliant song btw)

How do you like this one?
"Brothers everywhere,
raise your hands into the air.
We´re warriors, warriors of the world."
Manowar
They also have a good song "Heart of Steel", but cant remember the lyrics right now....
Also Dylan´s "things have changed" is good.
And I liked Manson´s "I dont like the drugs but the drugs like me" ~D
Alice Cooper's classic 'School's Out!' contains one verse that perfectly captures the essence of rock
Well we've got no class
and we've got no principal
and we've got no innocence
hell, we can't even think of a word that rhymes
perfect

Unbreakable union of freeborn republics
Great Russia has welded forever to stand
Created in struggle by will of the people
United and mighty, our Soviet land!
Sing to the motherland, home of the free
Bulwark of peoples in brother hood strong
O party of Lenin the strenght of the people
to communisms triumph lead us on!
trough tempests the sunrays of freedom have chreered us
along the new pather were great lenin did lead
be true to the people thus Stalin has reared us
Inspire us to labor and valorous deed
Sing to the mother land home of the free
bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong

and to her fluttering scarlet banner
selflessly true we always shall stand!

The last words recoreded by the beatles from Abbey Road
And in the end
the love you take
is even
to the love you make
The broken dates - the endless waits - the lovely loving - and the hateful hates
The conversation - with the flying plates, I wish I were in love again
I wish I were in love again - Frank Sinatra :bow:
Distant bells, new mown grass
Smells so sweet
By the river holding hands
Roll me up and lay me down

First line of "Plaistow Patricia" by Ian Dury and the Blockheads. Unfortunately Org policy will only allow me to quote it as
"********s, ********s, ****ing ****s and *****s"
We all feel like that some days.
Oh and the line about Tina in her Cortina and how a Hyena couldn't have been more obscener.
A lyrical genius RIP.
If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
I'm your man

Remember when you were young...you shone like the suuuuun...-Shine on you Crazy Diamond, Pink Floyd.
I've got a little black book with my poems in.
Got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in.
When I'm a good dog, they sometimes throw me a bone in.
I got elastic bands keepin my shoes on.
Got those swollen hand blues.
Got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from.
I've got electric light.
And I've got second sight.
And amazing powers of observation.
And that is how I know
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you
There'll be nobody home.
-Nobody home, Pink Floyd...this entire song makes me cry.
Shake for me girl!
I wanna be your backdoor man!
-Whole Lotta Love, Led Zeppelin.

The 3 last verses of Dylan's masters of war:
How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead
and the whole of Like a Rolling Stone (Dylan too)
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And ask him do you want to make a deal?
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
But you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
I like it when he's angry :-)

"The world is not enough
but it such a perfect place to start.
And if you´re strong enough,
together we can take the world abroad."
Garbage -The world is not enough
"A worried man with a worried mind,
noone in front of me and nothing behind.
There´s a woman on my lap and she´s drinking champaigne.
Got white skin and assasin´s eyes.
I´m looking up into the sapphire tinted skies.
I´m well dressed waiting on the last train.
Standing on the gallows with my head in a noose.
Any minute now I´m expecing all hells to break loose.
People are crazy and times are strange
I´m locked in tight, I´m out of range
I used to care but, thing have changed."
Bob Dylan - Things have changed
Just a few:
"There’s a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free
Though I respect that a lot
I’d be fired if that were my job
After killing jason off and countless screaming argonauts" - TMBG - Birdhouse in your soul
"No one in the world ever gets what they want and that is beautiful
Everybody dies frustrated and sad and that is beautiful
They want what they’re not and I wish they would stop saying,
Deputy dog dog a ding dang depadepa" - TMBG - Don't let start
"A hundred stairs to her new room
Over glass and blackened spoons
Children grow old so soon
Past the kids who gather there
Pain masked by narcotic stares
But no one really cares
Her dreams were cut up and bled dry
A million voices in her cry" - The Levellers - Julie
" Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dogs eye.
Crab locker fishwife pornographic priestess boy you been a
naughty girl, you let you knickers down
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus GOO GOO GOO JOOB" - The Beatles - I am the walrus
"Me and my girl we got this relationship
I love her so bad but she treats me like shhh
All locked down like a penitentiary
She spreads her lovin all over and when she gets home there's none left
for me
Evil come to tell you that she's evil most definitely
Evil, ornry scandalous and evil most definitely
The tension is growing hotter I'd like to hold her head underwater..." - Sublime - Doin' Time
"Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying:
Valhalla, I am coming!
On we sweep with threshing oar,
Our only goal will be the western shore.
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green,
Can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war.
We are your overlords.
On we sweep with threshing oar,
Our only goal will be the western shore.
So now you’d better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing." - Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song
"Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand,
Vanished from my hand,
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping.
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet,
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming." - Bob Dylan - Mr. Tamborine Man
"all the guys
that really have the money
are too old
to have a good time with it
too old to turn the women on
too old to have a fast car and drive it" - Porno for Pyros - Cursed Man
"I've been to hell. I spell it...I spell it DMV
Anyone that's been there knows precisely what I mean
Stood there and I've waited and choked back the urge to scream
And if I had my druthers I'd screw a chimpanzee
call it pointless
When I need relief I spell it THC
Perhpas you may know vaguely what I mean
I sit back and smoke away huge chunks of memory
As I slowly inflict upon myself a full lobotomy
call it pointless" - Primus - DMV
all my traumas hinge upon
some convoluted axiom
of the cube of x plus y
equals itself divided by --
where have you gone?

It can't be all coincedence

You tell me you're an unbeliever

But wouldn't you like to know
The truth
Of what's out there, to have the proof
And find out just which side
You're on
Where would you end in Heaven or
In Hell?

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
From Imagine:
"Imagine there's no heaven, It's easy if you try, No hell below us, Above us only sky, Imagine all the people living for today..."

When I'm gone
No need to wonder if I ever think of you
The same moon shines
The same wind blows
For both of us, and time is but a paper moon...
Be not gone
Though I'm gone
It's just as though I hold the flower that touches you
A new life grows
The blossom knows
There's no one else could warm my heart as much as you...
Be not gone
Let us cling together as the years go by
Oh my love, my love
In the quiet of the night
Let our candle always burn
Let us never lose the lessons we have learned
Teo torriatte ...
Hear my song
Still think of me the way you've come to think of me
The nights grow long
But dreams live on
Just close your pretty eyes and you can be with me...
Dream on
Teo torriatte ...
When I'm gone
They'll say we're all fools and we don't understand
Oh be strong
Don't turn your heart
We're all
You're all
For all
For always
Let us cling together ...

I can't resist posting these. "They threw me out of church" by Wesley Willis.
Once upon a time, I was cursing in Daniel's Chapel A.M.E. Zion Church
I called one of the deacons a ************
Reverend Henry E. Miller preached about my vulgar language
He told the congregation in the sanctuary that I got a nasty filthy mouth
They threw me out of church
They threw me out of church
They threw me out of church
They threw me out of church
For the second time, I told the preacher to **** off
I also told Reverend Henry E. Miller to **** a male camel's ****
He got so tired of my bull****
He told one of the deacons to throw me out
He then escorted me to the door
They threw me out of church
They threw me out of church
They threw me out of church
They threw me out of church
When I went to church that same Sunday, I picked up a 2 x 4
I went up to the pulpit and clocked the preacher in the head
He fell to the floor unconscious
Suddenly, the police was called on me
I then ran out of the church with a grin on my face being chased after by the cops
They threw me out of church
They threw me out of church
They threw me out of church
They threw me out of church
They threw me out of church
Diet Pepsi, uh-huh
"2 x 4"
Thank God for how I'm learning how to live
That's the ticket
That's the way of the world
That's the spirit
2 x 4
2 x 4
2 x 4
2 x 4
I'm going to hit you with a 2 x 4
Johnny Rotten hit me upside the head with a billy club
He also knocked me to the ground
He also shot me with his BB gun
2 x 4
2 x 4
2 x 4
2 x 4
I'm going to hit you with a 2 x 4
The electric eel shocked the hell out of me
He also blew me out of the water
He did, thanks to his ass
2 x 4

2 x 4

I'm going to hit you with a 2 x 4

Some Soad.
Deer Dance -
Round, round
Circumventing circuses
Lamenting in process
To visible police
Presence sponsored fear
Batallions of riot police
With rubber bullet kisses
Baton courtesy
Service with a smile
Beyond the staples center you can see america
With it’s tired poor avenging disgrace
Peaceful loving youth against the brutality
Of plastic existence
Pushing little children
With their fully automatics
They like to push the weak around
Pushing little children
With their fully automatics
They like to push the weak around
Round, round
A rush of words
Pleading to disperse
Upon your naked walls, alive
A political call
The fall guy accord
We can’t afford to be neutral on a moving train
Beyond the staples center you can see america
With it’s tired poor avenging disgrace
Peaceful loving youth against the brutality
Of plastic existence
Pushing little children
With their fully automatics
They like to push the weak around
Pushing little children
With their fully automatics
They like to push the weak around
A deer dance, invitation to peace
War staring you in the face, dressed in black
With a helmet, fierce
Trained and appropriate for the malcontents
For the disproportioned malcontents.
The little boy smiled, it’ll all be well
The little boy smiled, it’ll all be well
Pushing little children
With their fully automatics
They like to push the weak around
Pushing little children
With their fully automatics
They like to push the weak around
Push the weak around
Push the weak around
Push the weak around
They like to push the weak around.
Boom!
I’ve been walking through your streets,
Where all you money’s earning,
Where all your biulding’s crying,
And clueless neckties working,
Revolving fake lawn houses,
Housing all your fears,
Desensitized by tv,
Overbearing advertising,
God of consumerism,
And all your crooked pictures,
Looking good, mirrorism,
Filtering information,
For the public eye,
Designed for profiteering,
Your neighboor, what a guy.
Boom, boom, boom, boom,
Every time you drop the bomb,
You kill the God your child has born.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
Modern globalization,
Coupled with condemnations,
Unnecessary death,
Matador corporations,
Puppeting your frustrations,
With the blinded flag,
Manufacturing consent
Is the name of the game,
The bottom line is money,
Nobody gives a fuck.
4000 hungry children die per hour,
From starvation,
While billions spent on bombs,
Create death showers.
Boom, boom, boom, boom,
Every time you drop the bomb,
You kill the God your child has born.
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom/boom/boom/boom/boom/boom/boom
Why, why, why, why must we kill, kill, kill, kill, our own, own, own, own kind...

Every time you drop the bomb,
You kill the God your child has born.

The amazing tune that is Prison Song -
They’re trying to build a prison
They’re trying to build a prison
Following the rights movement
You clamped on with your iron fists
Drugs became conveniently
Available for all the kids

Incarcerated in the prison system

All our taxes paying for your wars
Against the new non-rich

All research and successful drug policy show
That treatment should be increased
And law enforcement decreased
While abolishing mandatory minimun sentences

Drug money is used to rig elections
And train brutal corporate sponsored dictators
Around the world

Punk Rock Song - Bad Religion
have you been to the desert?
have you walked with the dead?
there's a hundred thousand children being killed for their bread
and the figures don't lie they speak of human disease
but we do what we want and we think what we please
have you lived the experience?
have you witnessed the plague?
people making babies sometimes just to escape
in this land of competition the compassion is gone
yet we ignore the needy and we keep pushing on
we keep pushing on
this is just a punk rock song
written for the people who can see something's wrong
like ants in a colony we do our share
but there's so many other fuckin' insects out there
and this is just a punk rock song
(like workers in a company we do our share
but there's so many other fuckin' robots out there)
have you visited the quagmire?
have you swam in the shit?
the party conventions and the real politik
the faces always different, the rhetoric the same
but we swallow it, and we see nothing change
nothing has changed..
10 million dollars on a losing campaign
20 million starving and writhing in pain
big strong people unwilling to give
small in vision and perspective
one in five kids below the poverty line
one population runnin' out of time
Some bad religion songs are awesome, Kyoto now comes to mind as well.
In fact -
Kyoto now by Bad Religion
It’s a matter of prescience -no, not the science fiction kind
It’s all about ignorance, and greed, and miracles for the blind
The media parading, disjointed politics
Founded on petrochemical plunder, and we’re it’s hostages
If you stand to reason you’re in the game
The rules might be elusive but our pieces are the same
And you know if one goes down we all go down as well
The balance is precarious as anyone can tell
This world’s going to hell
Don’t allow this mythologic hopeful monster to exact it’s price
Kyoto now!
We can’t do nothing and think someone else will make it right
You might not think it matters now but what if you are wrong
You might not think there’s any wisdom in a fucked up punk rock song
But the way it is cannot persist for long
A brutal sun is rising on our sick horizon
It’s in the way we live our lives
Exactly like the double edge of a cold familiar knife
And supremacy weighs heavy on the day
It’s never really what you own but what you threw away
And how much did you pay?
Don’t allow this mythologic hopeful monster to exact it’s price
Kyoto now!
We can’t do nothing and think someone else will make it right
In your dreams you saw a steady state a bounty for eternity
Silent screams
But now the wisdom that sustains us is in full retreat
Watch out!
Don’t allow this mythologic hopeful monster isn’t worth the risk
Kyoto now!
We can’t have vision for the future if it can’t be fixed
Alien
We need a fresh and new religion to run our lives
Hand in hand
The arid torpor of inaction will be our demise
Oh, kyoto now!

The Canadian Railroad Trilogy by Gordon Lightfoot celebrates the 100th anniversary of the building of the Trans-Canadian railroad:
The song of the future has been sung.
All the battles have been won.
On the mountain tops we stand
All the world at our command.
We have opened up the soil
With our teardrops and our toil.
I've got to say I have never seen so much negativity expressed as in these "best lyrics". There are a lot of depressing songs in this thread. You all spend your time brooding when not here, don't you? :laugh4: Worry not so much, one day you'll be humming songs like The Rubber Tree Song with its plucky, determined ant! ~;) I'm just kidding in case that thought worries some of you. ~:pat:

all these are translated because english music just sucks (just kidding) ~D
btw, my favourite band CMX, the name is short for 'cloaka maxima' ~D
CMX:
"the winged one"
....fly my mind, fly, you can go, I'm not afraid at all
and the right wing is white, and the left is black
and day is sun gold, and night is cold, ligthless....
....you are frightening like the flame of the spring, you are beautiful as a blooming tree....
"beauty betrays"
...if the two fall in front of beauty, worshipping eachother in the night, if the two fall in the front of beauty, it betrays them, laughing....
"folks and peoples"
....world is dream, common tale
the pipes ascend to heavens, factories push fog, machines manufacture happiness, amidst the steel hulls lie human junk....
...so begin the battles for faith, for things to die for, even if you were wrong, alien in the eyes of your time....
...folks and peoples breath within me and wish freedom, folks and peoples love within me and wish life, folks and peoples breath within me and wish freedom, folks and peoples love within me and wish life....
...pain is real, city an alliance against dark, news are prayers, so that tomorrow might come....
"rust"
....oh look how slowly, everything goes, but years are short, and when the moon and sun are together in the sky, I gather up everything on my yard and burn, yes, books and papers, perhaps, furnitures and memories, all the lies that come in front of life, all the good that prevents from seeing, that is rust, smoke kisses the ruins, you know how it feels like, to warm your hands in the ashes of burnt homes....
...hey, look how slowly it rains again... the dust on the mountains, perhaps even these murderers hands are looking for a head to to touch, and feel the weight of world...
...that is rust...
...the smoke kisses the ruins, you know what it feels like, to warm your hands in the ashes of burnt homes... the smoke kisses the ruins, you know what it feels like, to warm your hands in the ashes of burnt homes....

Nice choice Adrian!Yeah, don't you just love 'em? I always root for NZ when they play, though I care more about the game (brilliant set-ups, long runs, hard-fought tries) than about who wins. The tougher the game, the better though.
I like the story behind it, too. Te Raupahara was set upon by enemies and hid in a storage pit for sweet potatoes. When he heard sounds above him and the lid was lifted he feared for his life, but as he struggled against the blinding sunlight he recognized the hairy legs of an allied chief come to his recue. Te Raupahara climbed out and improvised the Ka Mate ('we're going to die') haka on the spot, out of gratitude to the sun and his saviour.
Te nei te tan-ga-ta puru huru!... :furious2: :rolleyes2: :tongue3:

Massa, d'you mean on DDL? If so I found him on a random french site ~:confused: - I was looking for avatars and it just popped up (relatively speaking) :tongue:
Adrian - d'you come from/have you lived in NZ? Te Raupahara actually swept down through the region I live in.

Adrian - d'you come from/have you lived in NZ?Never been there, one of my big frustrations. I played rugby as a student though. I'm 1.98 tall, square built, ugly, dumb, sexist and (back then) able to hold my liquor. All the qualifications, really. Sadly, rugby isn't big here and I don't think we have a national team. It's something for students, like rowing.
Te Raupahara actually swept down through the region I live in.From what I read about him, he must have been a formidable character. Things like the All Black Haka are a good way to honour the Maori legacy, as opposed to much of the politically correct cr@p these days about native people as innocent, child-like victims of western genocide, etcetera. Keeps the memory of their pride alive, as opposed to all the whining about their demise.
