Best line from a song

[Orda Khan]

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"

"DESTROY"... (has to be said in a guttural grunting voice)

Cannibal Corpse "Stripped Raped and Strangled"

"I come alive in the darkness...."

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"

"MURDERER! COVERED IN SANGRE!"

Soulfly "Mars"

"I am Mars, the god of war."

Soulfly "Jump the **** up"

JUMP THE **** UP!

[Togakure]

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

[David]

"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)

[DemonArchangel]

Heresy is good
Pilgrimage is the BEST.

[SwordsMaster]

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"

[Mouzafphaerre]

A hupane! Ka upane!
Whiti te ra!
HI!

(An upward step! Another!
The sun shines!
HI!)

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.

[JAG]

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!
