I've noticed that lyrics are beginning to be posted in the "What Are You Listening To?" thread, and in an effort to keep the community organized, it makes far more sense to start a new thread for that purpose. And so, post your favorite lyrics here! Poetic, funny, lyrical... we're not judgmental
![]() "I Was Unconscious, It Was a Dream," by Slow Club I'll let you say I love you when I know I'll never say it back You open up the floodgates and wipe the village clean off the map We sat with the bailies and royalty into the part where everything is free And you inch yourself closer on that leather bench, I stare at the frames While you see the banquet scene And all of this because I've been screaming girls' names in the night I was unconscious, it was a dream, just let it die, die, die And you ask me to get blind-eyed drunk so I'll sleep the whole night long And I'll ask you to stop picking fights 'cause you'll miss me when I'm gone The rope, it broke and I fell into the canyon I run my hand down the curve of your spine And your heart it aches for the lives that you will never lead We come and go, but someday I will find the time To lie beside you for one whole night To lie beside you for one whole night |

Hello- Evanscence
Playground school bell rings again Rain clouds come to play again Has no one told you she's not breathing? Hello I'm your mind giving you someone to talk to Hello If I smile and don't believe Soon I know I'll wake from this dream Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken Hello I am the lie living for you so you can hide Don't cry Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping Hello I'm still here All that's left of yesterday |
Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen
I've heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the lord, But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this: the forth, the fifth, The minor fall, the major lift, The baffled king composing Hallelujah What's so cool about that (warning: major music geeking ahead) is that when the lyrics say "the forth, the fifth" etc this is actually what the chords of the song are doing (I IV V vi IV V III vi). Edit:typo |
My Brother he taught me how to fly My Papa he taught me how to cry Wait for me, wait for me to show you Wait for me, wait for me to show you My Mamma she touched me down my soul And I feel it I feel it most So show me your soul and I'll show you mine So show me your soul and I'll show you mine So who's gonna love you now baby? who's gonna love you now baby? When you're done fighting that war at sea Get on that ship and sail back to me Who .. ow wow ow! So who's gonna love you now baby? Who's gonna love you now baby? When you're done fighting that war at sea Get on that ship and sail back to me So who's gonna love you now baby? Who's gonna love you now baby? When you're done fighting that war at sea Get on that ship and sail back to me Get on that ship and sail back to me "Brother," by Little Birdy. |
Suppose I called you up tonight and told you that I loved you
And suppose I said "I wanna come back home". And suppose I cried and said "I think I finally learned my lesson" And I'm tired a-spendin' all my time alone. If I told you that I realised you're all I ever wanted And it's killin' me to be so far away. Would you tell me that you loved me too and would we cry together? Or would you simply laugh at me and say: "I told you so, oh I told you so I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in I told you so, but you had to go Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again". If I got down on my knees and told you I was yours forever Would you get down on yours too and take my hand? Would we get that old time feelin', would we laugh and talk for hours The way we did when our love first began? Would you tell me that you'd missed me too and that you'd been so lonely And you waited for the day that I returned. And we'd live in love forever and that I'm your one and only Or would you say the tables finally turned? Would you say: "I told you so, oh I told you so I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in I told you so, but you have to go Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again". "Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again". Carrie Underwood - I Told You So |
"When I Go," by Slow Club If we're both not married by twenty-two, could I be so bold and ask you? If we're both not married by twenty-three, will you make my year and ask me? If we're both not married by twenty-four, pass me those kneepads and I'll get on the floor If we're both not married by twenty-five, I hope that there's some childish spark still alive 'Cause there are so many lessons that I just never cared to learn And there are so many questions that still burn Like will you hold my hand when I go? Will you hold my hand when I go? If I get to thirty and I don't have a wife, I'll ask you nicely but I won't ask twice If I get to forty and I don't have a spouse, I'll fashion you a letter and I'll send it to your house If I get to sixty will you let me slip away into an armchair for the rest of my days? 'Cause you've got your family and I've got mine The love that we share is for another time 'Cause there are so many lessons that I just never cared to learn And there are so many questions that still burn Like will you hold my hand when I go? Will you hold my hand when I go? |
If you feel so empty
So used up, so let down If you feel so angry So ripped off so stepped on You're not the only one Refusing to back down You're not the only one So get up Let's start a riot, a riot Let's start a riot Let's start a riot, a riot Let's start a riot If you feel so filthy So dirty so fucked up If you feel so walked on So painful so pissed off You're not the only one Refusing to go down You're not the only one So get up Let's start a riot, a riot Let's start a riot Let's start a riot, a riot Let's start a riot If you feel so empty So used up, so let down If you feel so angry Just get up Let's start a riot, a riot Let's start a riot Let's start a riot, a riot Let's start a riot Riot - Three Days Grace I promised on another thread I wouldn't cuss... ![]() |
Ooh, I do like that song.
She Will Be Loved - Maroon 5 Beauty queen of only eighteen She had some trouble with herself He was always there to help her She always belonged to someone else I drove for miles and miles And wound up at your door I've had you so many times but somehow I want more I don't mind spending everyday Out on your corner in the pouring rain Look for the girl with the broken smile Ask her if she wants to stay awhile And she will be loved She will be loved Tap on my window knock on my door I want to make you feel beautiful I know I tend to get so insecure It doesn't matter anymore It's not always rainbows and butterflies It's compromise that moves us along, yeah My heart is full and my door's always open You can come anytime you want I don't mind spending everyday Out on your corner in the pouring rain Look for the girl with the broken smile Ask her if she wants to stay awhile And she will be loved And she will be loved And she will be loved And she will be loved I know where you hide Alone in your car Know all of the things that make you who you are I know that goodbye means nothing at all Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls Tap on my window knock on my door I want to make you feel beautiful I don't mind spending everyday Out on your corner in the pouring rain Look for the girl with the broken smile Ask her if she wants to stay awhile And she will be loved And she will be loved And she will be loved And she will be loved Please don't try so hard to say goodbye Please don't try so hard to say goodbye Yeah I don't mind spending everyday Out on your corner in the pouring rain Try so hard to say goodbye |

Wish We Were Older - Metro Station
I wish we were older... I wish we were older... I wish we were older... Keep your body moving, girl The beat is thumpin' Go ahead and let them talk Their words mean nothing I know you're scared But don't leave this place Just turn around And let me see your face And now you're crying And you hold me And you whisper in my ear Whoa-e, oh-we, oh-oh Oh-we, oh-we, oh-oh Whoa-e, oh-we, oh-oh I wish we were older Whoa-e, oh-we, oh-oh Oh-we, oh-we, oh-oh Whoa-e, oh-we, oh-oh I wish we were older I wish we were older Tonight we'll touch And they won't know I know you're dying To take off your clothes Just trust in me I'll never run away You kiss my lips And you taste my pain And while I'm pushing and I'm moving Somehow you manage to say...

"I Can't Decide" by the Scissor Sisters. Very fun song, here's an excerpt.
It's a b**** convincing people to like you If I stop now call me a quitter, If lies were cats you'd be a litter. Pleasing everyone isn't like you Dancing jigs until I'm crippled Slug ten drinks I won't get pickled I've got to hand it to you You've played by all the safe rules It takes the truth to fool me And now you've made me angry I can't decide whether you should live or die. Oh, you'll probably go to heaven, please don't hang your head and cry No wonder why my heart feels dead inside, It's cold and hard and petrified. Lock the doors and close the blinds. we're goin' for a ride! Oh I could throw you in the lake, Feed you poison birthday cake, I won't deny I'm gonna miss you when you're gone. Oh I could bury you alive, But you might crawl out with a knife And kill me when I'm sleeping, that's why I can't decide whether you should live or die. Oh, you'll probably go to heaven, please don't hang your head and cry No wonder why my heart feels dead inside, It's cold and hard and petrified. Lock the doors and close the blinds. we're goin' for a ride! |
Masochism Tango - Tom Lehrer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TytGOeiW0aE I ache for the touch of your lips, dear, But much more for the touch of your whips, dear. You can raise welts Like nobody else, As we dance to the masochism tango. Let our love be a flame, not an ember, Say its me that you want to dismember. Blacken my eye, Set fire to my tie, As we dance to the masochism tango. At your command Before you here I stand, My heart is in my hand. ecch! Its here that I must be. My heart entreats, Just hear those savage beats, And go put on your cleats And come and trample me. Your heart is hard as stone or mahogany, Thats why Im in such exquisite agony. My soul is on fire, Its aflame with desire, Which is why I perspire When we tango. You caught my nose In your left castanet, love, I can feel the pain yet, love, Evry time I hear drums. And I envy the rose That you held in your teeth, love, With the thorns underneath, love, Sticking into your gums. Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches. The last time I needed twenty stitches To sew up the gash That you made with your lash, As we danced to the masochism tango. Bash in my brain, And make me scream with pain, Then kick me once again, And say well never part. I know too well Im underneath your spell, So, darling, if you smell Something burning, its my heart. Excuse me! Take your cigarette from its holder, And burn your initials in my shoulder. Fracture my spine, And swear that youre mine, As we dance to the masochism tango. |
If There's A Rocket, Tie Me To It - Snow Patrol Two weeks later like a surplus reprieve I found a hair the length of yours on my sleeve I wound it round and round my finger so tight It turned purple and a pulse formed inside And I knew the beat 'cause it matched your own beat I still remember it from our chest to chest and feet to feet The easy silence then was a sweet relief to this hush Of ovens, aeroplanes and of distant car horns A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry A pulse your pulse, it's the only thing I can remember I break you don't, I was always set to self-destruct though The fire the fire, it cracks and burns like primal music I said I knew the beat 'cause it matched your own beat It's become my engine my own source of heat The sea between us only amplifies the sound waves Every hum and echo and crash paints my cave A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry A pulse your pulse, it's the only thing I can remember I break you don't, I was always set to self-destruct though The fire the fire, it cracks and burns like primal music A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry A pulse your pulse, it's the only thing I can remember I break you don't, I was always set to self-destruct though The fire the fire, it cracks and burns like primal music ______ Set Fire To The Third Bar - Snow Patrol ft. Martha Wainwright I find the map and draw a straight line Over rivers, farms, and state lines The distance from 'A' to where you'd be It's only finger-lengths that I see I touch the place where I'd find your face My finger in creases of distant dark places I hang my coat up in the first bar There is no peace that I've found so far The laughter penetrates my silence As drunken men find flaws in science Their words mostly noises Ghosts with just voices Your words in my memory Are like music to me I'm miles from where you are, I lay down on the cold ground I, I pray that something picks me up And sets me down in your warm arms After I have travelled so far We'd set the fire to the third bar We'd share each other like an island Until exhausted, close our eyelids And dreaming, pick up from The last place we left off Your soft skin is weeping A joy you can't keep in I'm miles from where you are, I lay down on the cold ground And I, I pray that something picks me up and sets me down in your warm arms I'm miles from where you are, I lay down on the cold ground and I, I pray that something picks me up and sets me down in your warm arms |
L.L. Cool J - Momma Said Knock You Out lyrics
Don't call it a comeback I been here for years Rockin' my peers Puttin' suckers in fear Makin' the tears rain down like a monsoon Listen to the bass go boom Explosion, overpowerin' Over the competition, I'm towerin' Records shock When I drop these lyrics That'll make you call the cops Don't you dare stare You betta move Don't ever compare me to the rest They'll all get sliced and diced Competition's payin' the price (CHORUS) I'm gonna knock you out Mama said knock you out I'm gonna knock you out Mama said knock you out I'm gonna knock you out Mama said knock you out I'm gonna knock you out Mama said knock you out Don't you call this no regular jam I'm gonna rock this land I'm gonna take this itty-bitty world by storm And I'm just getting warm Just like Mohammad Ali, they called him Cassius Watch me bash this beat like a skull Dontcha know I gotta beef wit' Why don't you rip with me, the maniac psycho Cuz when I pull out my jammy, get ready cuz it might go Blauh! How do you like me now? The reverand will not allow you to get wit' Mr. Smith don't risk Listen to my gear shift. I'm blastin', outlastin' Colors like shaft, so you could say I'm shaftin' Old English fill my mind and I came up with this funky rhyme (REPEAT CHORUS) Shadow boxin' when I heard you on the radio I just don't know What made them forget that I was raw But now I gotta new toy I'm going insane Frontin' the hurricane Releasin' pain Lettin' you know You can't gain or maintain Unless you say my name Rippin' Killin' Diggin' and drillin' a hole Well I'll pass your goal (REPEAT CHORUS) Shotgun blasts are heard When I rip and kill at will The man of the hour, tower of power I will devour I'm gonna tie you up and let you understand That I'm not your average man When I gotta jammy in my hand Damn Ooh Listen to the way I slay your crew Damnit Damnit Damnit Damnit Destruction, terror and mayhem Pass me a .... I'll slay him Farmers (WHAT) Farmers (WHAT) Ready? (READY) I think I'm gonna bomb a town Don't you never, ever Pull my lever 'Cause I explode And my nine is easy to load I gotta thank God 'Cause he gave me this chance to rock Hard... knock you out (REPEAT CHORUS) |
Buddy Holly by Weezer What's with these homies dissin' my girl? Why do they gotta front? What did we ever do to these guys That made them so violent? Woo-hoo, but you know I'm yours. Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine. Woo-hoo, and that's for all of time. [chorus] Woo-ee-oo, I look just like Buddy Holly. Oh-oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore. I don't care what they say about us anyway. I don't care 'bout that. Don't you ever fear, I'm always near. I know that you need help. Your tongue is twisted, your eyes are slit. You need a guardian. Woo-hoo, and you know I'm yours. Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine. Woo-hoo, and that's for all of time. [chorus] I don't care 'bout that. Bang! Bang! Knock on the door, another big bang, get down on the floor. Oh No! What do we do? Don't look now but I lost my shoe. I can't run and I can't kick. What's a matter babe, are you feelin' sick? What's a matter, what's a matter, what's a matter you? What's a matter babe, are you feelin' blue? Oh-oh-oh! And that's for all of time. (x2) [chorus] I don't care 'bout that. (x3) |
"Walking By," by Something Corporate Your granddad left home for the circus, he was young just like me with hope to explore He married a girl in Virginia, she could swing the trapeze, they could sleep on the floor Your mother was born in December on the one sunny day that winter gave up And her warm summer eyes, they flickered like fireflies as they stared at the world So why do you leave these stories unfinished? My Cheshire cat doorstop with tears in your eyes And why do you look when you've already found it? What did you find that would leave you walking by? She was raised in a New England village but she moved to LA with her firefly stare And you loved Sunset Strip when it sparkled, you grew up and you sparkled But why don't you care? And why do you leave these stories unfinished? My Cheshire cat doorstop with tears in your eyes And why do you look when you've already found me? What did you find that would leave you walking by? And these nights I get high just from breathing When I lie here with you, I'm sure that I'm real Like that firework over the freeway I could stay here all day, but that's not how you feel And why do you leave these questions unanswered? The circus awaits and you're already gone My Cheshire cat doorstop with fear in your smile What makes it so easy for you to be walking by? And what did I do that you can't seem to want me? And why do we lie here and whisper goodbyes? Where can I go that your picture won't haunt me? What makes it so easy for you to be walking by? |

Genitorturers 120 Days
Unfathomable depths of fanaticism and depravity Do our choosing without hesitation... Give yourself over to sin. Your one chance for redemption shall come when the spark is ignited within. Forced to sever the ties to this world which is bound by lies. Your free from original sin, forced to find what was hidden within. Breathe you in; lead you out. Inflame your passions within our depravity, give yourself over to sin. You won't emerge without transformation... Flesh our soul will win. Forced to sever the ties to this world which is bound by lies. You're free from original sin, forced to find what is hidden within. I am in command Forced to lay, locked away, made to serve... another 120 days. This will even prevent masturbation You rise in the presence of our libertinage, taste all the pleasures of sin. Your one desire controlled by perversion, compelled by lust within. Forced to sever the ties, to this world which is bound by lies. You're free from original sin... Release what was hidden within. Forced to lay, locked away, made to serve... Another 120 days. I slide a glance in your direction Just what you need and then you'll want to say "fill my hole with your affection" Conditioned to begin 10 more hours to save your flowers, or watch them wilt away We'll hunt you, we want you Where forever is one day |
Carly Simon - You're So Vain Lyrics
You walked into the party Like you were walking onto a yacht Your hat strategically dipped below one eye Your scarf it was apricot You had one eye in the mirror As you watched yourself gavotte And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner They'd be your partner, and You're so vain You probably think this song is about you You're so vain I'll bet you think this song is about you Don't you? Don't you? You had me several years ago When I was still quite naive Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair And that you would never leave But you gave away the things you loved And one of them was me I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee Clouds in my coffee, and You're so vain You probably think this song is about you You're so vain I'll bet you think this song is about you Don't you? Don't you? I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee Clouds in my coffee, and You're so vain You probably think this song is about you You're so vain I'll bet you think this song is about you Don't you? Don't you? Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga And your horse naturally won Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia To see the total eclipse of the sun Well, you're where you should be all the time And when you're not, you're with Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend Wife of a close friend, and You're so vain You probably think this song is about you You're so vain I'll bet you think this song is about you Don't you? Don't you? |
At this moment it is
"Even if I say It'll be alright, Still I hear you say, you want to end your life. Now and again we try, To just stay alive." |
