Title: What are your favorite lyrics or quotes? Post by AlienSpaceBabe on Jan 26th, 2005, 2:45pm Just wondering..... I have many: Evanescence: all this time I can't believe I couldn't see kept in the dark but you were there in front of me I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems got to open my eyes to everything Peter Gabriel: and all my instincts, they return and the grand facade, so soon will burn without a noise, without my pride I reach out from the inside John Cale: Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. John Cale: Never win and never lose There's nothing much to choose Between the right and wrong Nothing lost and nothing gained Still things aren't quite the same Between you and me I keep a close watch on this heart of mine Billy Joel: You're only human, you're allowed to make your share of mistakes You better believe there will be times in your life When you'll be feeling like a stumbling fool So take it from me you'll learn more from your accidents Than anything that you could ever learn at school Don't forget your second wind Sooner of later you'll get your second wind It's not always easy to be living in this world of pain You're gonna be crashing into stone walls again and again It's alright, it's alright Though you feel your heart break You're only human, you're gonna have to deal with heartache Just like a boxer in a title fight You got to walk in that ring all alone You're not the only one who's made mistakes But they're the only thing that you can truly call your own Don't forget your second wind Wait in that corner until that breeze blows in You've been keeping to yourself these days Cause you're thinking everything's gone wrong Sometimes you just want to lay down and die That emotion can be so strong But hold on Till that old second wind comes along You probably don't want to hear advice from someone else But I wouldn't be telling you if I hadn't been there myself It's alright, it's alright Sometimes that's all it takes We're only human We're supposed to make mistakes But I survived all those long lonely days When it seemed I did not have a friend Cause all I needed was a little faith So I could catch my breath and face the world again |

Title: Re: What are your favorite lyrics or quotes? Post by ExplodingEyeBall on Jan 26th, 2005, 3:08pm OK serious, Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight Some times I get out the acoustic guitar and serenade my wife with this one. I have to change blonde to red though. (You know how those red heads get.[smiley=sgrin.gif]) --------------------------------------------------------------------- It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear. She puts on her make-up and brushes her long And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?" And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight." We go to a party and everyone turns to see This beautiful lady that's walking around with me. And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?" And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight." I feel wonderful because I see The love light in your eyes. And the wonder of it all Is that you just don't realize how much I love you. It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head, So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed. And then I tell her, as I turn out the light, I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight. Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight." |

Title: Re: What are your favorite lyrics or quotes? Post by Jonny on Jan 26th, 2005, 7:17pm Ive got a problem, a problem with hate.....I can't go on dragging this weight. A cold steel hand that wont let go, acid filled thoughts out of control. I built myself a nice little cage, with bars of anger and a lock of rage. I cant help asking whos got the key, when I know damn well...its me. No, I aint hinting for sympathy, im use to dealing with apathy. The scars on my wrists may seem like a crime, just wish me better luck next time. So what if I died a thousand deaths, you think im insane but I have no regrets. One more time wont matter no question, suicide is self expression. Its almost perfect except for this last line ;;D |

Title: Re: What are your favorite lyrics or quotes? Post by Melissa on Jan 26th, 2005, 11:23pm Ok, here's a couple of my fav's... Beautiful Day- U2 The heart is a bloom Shoots up through the stony ground There’s no room No space to rent in this town You’re out of luck And the reason that you had to care The traffic is stuck And you’re not moving anywhere You thought you’d found a friend To take you out of this place Someone you could lend a hand In return for grace It’s a beautiful day Sky falls you feel like It’s a beautiful day Don’t let it get away You’re on the road But you’ve got no destination You’re in the mud In the maze of her imagination You love this town Even if that doesn’t ring true You’ve been all over And it’s been all over you It’s a beautiful day Don’t let it get away It’s a beautiful day Touch me Take me to that other place Teach me I know I’m not a hopeless case See the world in green and blue See china right in front of you See the canyons broken by cloud See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out See the bedouin fires at night See the oil fields at first light And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth After the flood all the colors came out It was a beautiful day Don’t let it get away Beautiful day Touch me Take me to that other place Reach me I know I’m not a hopeless case What you don’t have you don’t need it now What you don’t know you can feel it somehow What you don’t have you don’t need it now Don’t need it now Was a beautiful day Strong Enough to Bend- Beth Neilson Chapman There’s a tree out in the backyard That never has been broken by the wind And the reason it’s still standing It was strong enough to bend For years, we have stayed together As lovers and as friends What we have will last forever If we’re strong enough to bend When you say something that you can’t take back Big wind blows and you hear a little crack When you say hey well I might be wrong You can sway with the wind till the storm is gone Sway with the wind till the storm is gone Like a tree out in the backyard That never has been broken by the wind Our love will last forever If we’re strong enough to bend When you start thinkin’ that you know it all Big wind blows and a branch will fall When you say hey this job takes two We can sway with the wind till the skies turn blue Sway with the wind till the skies turn blue Like a tree out in the backyard That never has been broken by the wind Our love will last forever if we’re strong enough to bend " " |

Title: Re: What are your favorite lyrics or quotes? Post by Melissa on Jan 26th, 2005, 11:29pm Gotta add in 1 more since my anniversary is on Sunday ;;D When I Said I Do- Clint Black & Lisa Hartman Black These times are troubled and these times are good And they’re always gonna be, they rise and they fall We take ’em all the way that we should Together you and me forsaking them all Deep in the night and by the light of day It always looks the same, true love always does And here by your side, or a million miles away Nothin’s ever gonna change the way that I feel, The way it is, is the way that it was When I said I do, I meant that I will ’til the end of all time Be faithful and true, devoted to you That’s what I had in mind when I said I do Well this old world keeps changin’, and the world stays the same For all who came before, and it goes hand and hand Only you and I can undo all that we became That makes us so much more, than a woman and a man And after everything that comes and goes around Has only passed us by, here alone in our dreams I know there’s a lonely heart in every lost and found But forever you and I will be the ones Who found out what forever means When I said I do, I meant that I will ’til the end of all time Be faithful and true, devoted to you That’s what I had in mind when I said I do Truer than true, you know that I’ll always be there for you That’s what I had in mind, that’s what I had in mind, When I said I do... |

Title: Re: What are your favorite lyrics or quotes? Post by taraann on Jan 27th, 2005, 1:27am Great Thread! I'm always reading quotes of some kind. A few of my faves..... "The world is a circle. Everyone walks in the same circle in the same footprints at some point in time. If you Sh*t along the way, you WILL eventually step in it." ~Author Unknown~ "Nothing has turned out as we expected! It never does. Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect. We take what we get and are thankful it's no worse than it is."~Gone With the Wind~ "Dare to be naive."~R. Buckminster Fuller~ My ALL time favorite is "Everything happens for a reason" Cause there just HAS to be a reason for it all!!!!!! and last but not least "What don't kill us only makes us stronger" |

Title: Re: What are your favorite lyrics or quotes? Post by taraann on Jan 27th, 2005, 1:30am Ok I gotta add a fav song that me and the kids always sing....... You Are My Sunshine The other night dear As I lay sleeping I dreamed I held you in my arms When I awoke, dear I was mistaken So I hung my head and I cried. You are my sunshine My only sunshine You make me happy When skies are gray You'll never know dear How much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away (Chorus) So let the sun shine in Face it with a grin Smilers never loose And Frowners never win So let the sun shine in Face it with a grin Open up your heart and let the sun shine in My mommy told me something That little girls should know It’s all about the devil And I’ve learned to hate him so I know he’ll be unhappy ‘Cause I’ll never wear a frown Maybe if we keep on smiling He’ll get tired of hangin’ round (Repeat Chorus x2) |

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway. The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds. Think big anyway. People favor underdogs but follow top dogs. Fight for a few underdogs anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway.

Title: Re: What are your favorite lyrics or quotes? Post by Gator on Jan 27th, 2005, 3:31am I love this so much I gave each of my kids a copy Bill Gates Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this. Here’s some advice Bill Gates dished out at a high school graduation speech about 11 things they did not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this training has set them up for failure in the real world. Rule 1: Life is not fair—get used to it. Rule 2: The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. Rule 3: You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice-president with a car phone, until you earn both. Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn’t have tenure. Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping - they called it opportunity. Rule 6: If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so quit whining. Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents’ generation, try delousing the closet in your own room. Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as many tries as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life. Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time. Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs. Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one. |

Title: Re: What are your favorite lyrics or quotes? Post by Fabio on Jan 27th, 2005, 9:19am ;) Two of my favorite songs/lyrics. Sometimes You Can't Make it On Your Own –U2 (from the new album ‘How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb’) Tough, you think you’ve got the stuff You’re telling me and anyone You’re hard enough You don’t have to put up a fight You don’t have to always be right Let me take some of the punches For you tonight Listen to me now I need to let you know You don’t have to go it alone And it’s you when I look in the mirror And it’s you when I don’t pick up the phone Sometimes you can’t make it on your own We fight all the time You and I… that’s alright We’re the same soul I don’t need… I don’t need to hear you say That if we weren’t so alike You’d like me a whole lot more Listen to me now I need to let you know You don’t have to go it alone And it’s you when I look in the mirror And it’s you when I don’t pick up the phone Sometimes you can’t make it on your own I know that we don’t talk I’m sick of it all Can - you - hear - me – when – I - Sing, you’re the reason I sing You’re the reason why the opera is in me… Where are we now? I’ve got to let you know A house still doesn’t make a home Don’t leave me here alone... And it’s you when I look in the mirror And it’s you that makes it hard to let go Sometimes you can’t make it on your own Sometimes you can’t make it The best you can do is to fake it Sometimes you can’t make it on your own Miss Sarajevo - U2/Luciano Pavarotti Is there a time for keeping your distance A time to turn your eyes away. Is there a time for keeping your head down For getting on with your day. Is there a time for kohl and lipstick Is there time for cutting hair Is there a time for high street shopping To find the right dress to wear. Here she comes, heads turn around Here she comes, to take her crown. Is there a time to run for cover A time for kiss and tell. A time for different colours Different names you find hard to spell. Is there a time for first communion A time for East 17 Is there time to turn to Mecca Is there time to be a beauty queen. Here she comes, beauty plays the clown Here she comes, surreal in her crown. Dici che il fiume trova la via al mare Che come il fiume giungerai a me Oltre i confini e le terre assetate L'amore giungerà, l'amore E non so più pregare E nell'amore non so più sperare E quell'amore non so più aspettare. Is there a time for tying ribbons A time for Christmas trees. Is there a time for laying tables When the night is set to freeze |

Title: Re: What are your favorite lyrics or quotes? Post by PittsburghJoe on Jan 27th, 2005, 2:24pm Wow, tough call... but I'll go with "Dear God" by XTC: Dear God, hope you got the letter and... I pray you can make it better down here I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer But all the people that you made in your image See them starving on their feet 'Cause they don't get enough to eat from God, I can't believe in you Dear God, sorry to disturb you but... I feel that I should be heard loud and clear We all need a big reduction in amount of tears And all the people that you made in your image See them fighting in the street 'Cause they can't make opinions meet about God, I can't believe in you Did you make disease and the diamond blue? Did you make mankind after we made you? And the devil too! Dear God, don't know if you've noticed but... Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book And us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look And all the people that you made in your image Still believing that junk is true Well I know it ain't and so do you, dear God I can't believe in I don't believe in I won't believe in heaven and hell No saints, no sinners, no devil as well No pearly gates, no thorny crown You're always letting us humans down The wars you bring, the babes you drown Those lost at sea and never found And it's the same the whole world round The hurt I see helps to compound That Father, Son and Holy Ghost Are just somebody's unholy hoax And if you're up there you'd perceive That my heart's here upon my sleeve If there's one thing I don't believe in It's you Dear God Sarah McLachlan did a killer version of this song, too. Joe... not really an atheist, just not a follower of organized religion |

Title: Re: What are your favorite lyrics or quotes? Post by E-Double on Jan 27th, 2005, 7:47pm Husker Du Shes A Woman (and Now He Is A Man) I can see her loading boxes in my mind Into a belvedere with a trailer pulled behind Well things didn't go exactly as they planned She's a woman and now he is a man There's a vacancy between them everyday And a sense of guilt that's not going away When they get older perhaps they'll understand She's a woman and now he is a man And now he's into something that her heart cannot forgive She's saying to herself, "no, this is not the way to live" He'll never listen to her 'cause his mind is like a sieve Oh brother! oh brother! i'm telling your sister No way can i resist her With a guilty feeling hanging in their brain And the two of them are potentially insane Well they've had enough which is more than they can stand She's a woman and now he is a man SOCIAL DISTORTION Mommy's Little Monster Mommy's little monster dropped out of school, Mommy's little monster broke all the rules. He loves to go out drinking with the boys, He loves to go out & make some noise. He doesn't wanna be a doctor or a lawyer get fat & rich. He's 20 years old & he quit his job, Unemployment pays his rent! CHORUS: His brothers & sisters have tasted sweet success, His parents condemn him, say, "his live's a mess!" He's mommy's little monster, he's not afraid to admit it. He's mommy's little monster, don't wake him in a fit!!! Mommy's little monster shoots methadrine, Mommy's little monster had sex at 15 She left home for the streets, She couldn't deal with all the heat. She has fun with the boys in the band, In her eyes it will never end. Her dad asked what happened to her face, I could have happened in any place!!! CHORUS: Her eyes are a deeper blue, she likes her hair that color too. She can even wear a dress, that doesn't mean she'll confess. She's Mommy's little monster She's Mommy's little monster She's Mommy's little monster DON'T TAKE HER LIFE AWAY NICK DRAKE Northern Sky I never felt magic crazy as this I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea I never held emotion in the palm of my hand Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree But now you're here Brighten my northern sky. I've been a long time that I'm waiting Been a long that I'm blown I've been a long time that I've wandered Through the people I have known Oh, if you would and you could Straighten my new mind's eye. Would you love me for my money Would you love me for my head Would you love me through the winter Would you love me 'til I'm dead Oh, if you would and you could Come blow your horn on high. I never felt magic crazy as this I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea I never held emotion in the palm of my hand Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree But now you're here Brighten my northern sky.

Title: Re: What are your favorite lyrics or quotes? Post by Jeepgun on Jan 28th, 2005, 12:05pm Radiohead "Talk Show Host" "Talk Show Host" I want to, I want to be someone else or I'll explode Floating upon the surface for The birds, the birds, the birds You want me, well fucking well come and find me I'll be waiting with a gun and a pack of sandwiches And nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing You want me, well, come on and break the door down You want me, fucking come on and break the door down I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready... ________________________________ Radiohead: "Creep" When you were here before Couldn't look you in the eye You're just like an angel Your skin makes me cry You float like a feather In a beautiful world I wish I was special You're so fucking special But I 'm a creep I 'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here I don't care if it hurts I want to have control I want a perfect body I want a perfect soul I want you to notice When I'm not around You're so fucking special I wish I was special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here?

Title: Re: What are your favorite lyrics or quotes? Post by PrettyH8Machine on Jan 28th, 2005, 2:35pm How interesting. I opened this thread while this song is playing in the background (hears twilight zone music...) Sung by a computerized voice: Fitter Happier Fitter, happier, more productive, comfortable, not drinking too much, regular exercise at the gym (3 days a week), getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries, at ease, eating well (no more microwave dinners and saturated fats), a patient better driver, a safer car (baby smiling in back seat), sleeping well (no bad dreams), no paranoia, careful to all animals (never washing spiders down the plughole), keep in contact with old friends (enjoy a drink now and then), will frequently check credit at (moral) bank (hole in the wall), favors for favors, fond but not in love, charity standing orders, on Sundays ring road supermarket (no killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants), car wash (also on Sundays), no longer afraid of the dark or midday shadows nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate, nothing so childish - at a better pace, slower and more calculated, no chance of escape, now self-employed, concerned (but powerless), an empowered and informed member of society (pragmatism not idealism), will not cry in public, less chance of illness, tires that grip in the wet (shot of baby strapped in back seat), a good memory, still cries at a good film, still kisses with saliva, no longer empty and frantic like a cat tied to a stick, that's driven into frozen winter shit (the ability to laugh at weakness), calm, fitter, healthier and more productive a pig in a cage on antibiotics. I just rediscovered Radioheads disc "OK Computer" a concept album about the desensitizing of humans by machines. Was this album an ironic prophecy of what we would become? |

Title: Re: What are your favorite lyrics or quotes? Post by LadyElaine on Jan 28th, 2005, 7:31pm This song has become my favoret this year! Daddys Hands I remember daddy's hands folded silently in prayer And reachin' out to hold me, when I had a nightmare You could read quite a story in the callous' and lines Years of work and worry had left their mark behind I remember daddy's hands how they held my mama tight And patted my back for something done right There are things that I'd forgotten that I loved about the man But I'll always remember the love in daddy's hands... Chorus Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin' Daddy's hands were hard as steel when I'd done wrong Daddy's hands weren't always gentle but I've come to understand There was always love in daddy's hands. I remember daddy's hands workin' 'til they bled Sacrificed unselfishly just to keep us all fed If I could do things over, I'd live my life again And never take for granted the love in daddy's hands (Chorus) Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin' Daddy's hands were hard as steel when I'd done wrong Daddy's hands weren't always gentle but I've come to understand There was always love in daddy's hands. (Repeat Chorus) Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin' Daddy's hands were hard as steel when I'd done wrong Daddy's hands weren't always gentle but I've come to understand There was always love in daddy's hands. Below is my favoret quote ! "Your family and your love must be cultivated like a garden. Time, effort, and imagination must be summoned constantly to keep any relationship flourishing and growing." |

Title: Re: What are your favorite lyrics or quotes? Post by john_d on Jan 29th, 2005, 12:02am Still They Ride- Journey Jesse rides through the night Under the main street light Ridin’ slow This ol’ town, ain’t the same Now nobody knows his name Times have changed, still he rides. Traffic lights, keepin’ time Leading the wild and restless Through the night Still they ride, on wheels of fire They rule the night Still they ride, the strong will survive Chasing thunder Spinning ’round, in a spell It’s hard to leave this carrousel ’round and ’round And ’round and ’round Still they ride, on wheels of fire They rule the night Still they ride, the strong will survive Chasing thunder through the night |
