What are your favourite song lyrics? :)?

[UndercoverLover]

Doesn't have to be your favourite song, just your favourite lyrics from a song.

[basilandthyme]

I can honestly say that I can't think of any lyrics which are meaningful to me. I'm more about the music than the lyrics

[TeEnAgEdIrTbAg]

Some people call them players
But I’m far from terrified
Cos somehow I’m drawn to danger
And have been all of my life
It feels my heart’s divided
Half way between wrong and right
I know I’m playing with fire
But I don’t know why

Yeah the bad boys are always catching my eye
(Ooh Way, Ooh Wah)
I said the bad boys are always spinning my mind
(Ooh Way, Ooh Wah)
Even though I know they’re no good for me
It’s the risk I take for the chemistry
With the bad boys always catching my eye
(Ooh Way, Ooh Way, Ooh Wah)
Oooooh, bad boys


I'm jammin to dis right now

If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?

I'm like basilandthyme. I don't really care much about lyrics.

"In a tidal wave of mystery / You'll still be standing next to me" How friggin' cool.

[UnderTheMoon]

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out


I love this whole song. It's the one.

[TeEnAgEdIrTbAg]

here's another favourite

This one is for the boys with the booming system
Top down, AC with the cooling system
When he come up in the club, he be blazin' up
Got stacks on deck like he savin' up

And he ill, he real, he might got a deal
He pop bottles and he got the right kind of bill
He cold, he dope, he might sell coke
He always in the air, but he never fly coach
He a mother****ing trip, trip, sailor of the ship, ship
When he make it drip, drip kiss him on the lip, lip
That's the kind of dude I was lookin' for
And yes you'll get slapped if you're lookin' hoe

I said, excuse me, you're a hell of a guy
I mean my, my, my, my you're like pelican fly
I mean, you're so shy and I'm loving your tie
You're like slicker than the guy with the thing on his eye, oh
Yes I did, yes I did, somebody please tell him who the F I is
I am Nicki Minaj, I mack them dudes up, back coupes up, and chuck the deuce up

[Chorus – Ester Dean & Nicki Minaj:]
Boy, you got my heartbeat runnin' away
Beating like a drum and it's coming your way
Can't you hear that boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass?
You got that super bass
Boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass
Yeah, that's the super bass
(Boom) [x15]
(You got that super bass)
Boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass
He got that super bass
Boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass
He got that super bass

[Verse 2:]
This one is for the boys in the polos
Entrepreneur niggas & the moguls
He could ball with the crew, he could solo
But I think I like him better when he dolo
And I think I like him better with the fitted cap on
He ain't even gotta try to put the mack on
He just gotta give me that look, when he give me that look
Then the panties comin' off, off, uh
Excuse me, you're a hell of a guy you know I really got a thing for American guys
I mean, sigh, sickenin' eyes I can tell that you're in touch with your feminine side, oh
Yes I did, yes I did, somebody please tell him who the F I is
I am Nicki Minaj, I mack them dudes up, back coupes up, and chuck the deuce up

[Chorus – Ester Dean & Nicki Minaj]

[Bridge]
See I need you in my life for me to stay
No, no, no, no, no, I know you'll stay
No, no, no, no, no, don't go away (ay-ay)
Boy, you got my heartbeat runnin' away
Don't you hear that heartbeat comin' your way?
Oh, it be like, boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass
Can't you hear that boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass?

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No nothing else matters

[VerticalMoon]

I never knew just what it was
About this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew
All of the while
All of the while
It was you

[Rowen]

...Can I just link you to my Facebook wall? lol I'll give you a few off the top of my head- will probably add more later.

"'Cause love's such an old fashioned word. / And love dares you to care for the / People at the edge of the night. / And love dares you to change our ways of / Caring about ourselves. / This is our last dance. / This is our last dance."- Queen and David Bowie (Under Pressure)

"I've been waiting all my life / For someone like you to come mess with my mind. / Someone crazy, someone who / Could love me the way I loved you. / And three little words is all that I've got. / Three little words / Like it or not. / Tell me you notice. / Tell me you heard. / For you, I would run to the ends of the Earth. / I couldn't keep you, but I'll keep my word. / You're still the most beautiful babe in the world. / I love how it hurts."- Scouting for Girls (Love How It Hurts)

"The book of love has music in it. / In fact, that's where music comes from. / Some of it's just transcendental. / Some of it's just really dumb."- Peter Gabriel (The Book of Love)

"Don't know much about History. / Don't know about Biology. / Don't know much about science books. / Don't know much about the French I took. / But I do know that I love you. / And I know that if you love me too / What a wonderful world this would be."- Sam Cooke (Wonderful World)

I wish somebody told me I would light up
And in a second I would turn to ash
I wish somebody told me I would tear up
Always be out there lookin' for my other half
That I had a paper heart
That I had a paper heart

I wish somebody told me I would roll up
Into a little ball that you could throw away
If I woulda known I woulda folded up
Into a 747 airplane
Cause I've got a paper heart

Shoulda paid attention to the state of my condition
Before I kissed you that way, I shoulda listened
Thought I was a rockin' stone, standin' my ground all on my own
But I was blown away
Cause I've got a paper heart

Oh, I woulda never looked at you if I only if I knew
Never woulda kissed you that way, I shoulda listened
Thought that I was strong enough, knew all there was to know about love
But I was blown away
Cause I've got a paper heart

I wish somebody told me I would light up
And in a second I would turn to ash
I've got a paper heart
I've got a paper heart
That I had a paper heart
I've got a paper heart
I wish somebody told me, someone shoulda told me
I've got a paper heart
That I had a paper heart
I wish somebody told me, someone shoulda told me
I've got a paper heart

[HeartIsAching]

After all of the hugely helpful and cathartic changes I went through, the song Forty-Six and 2 by Tool became my anthem:

I want to feel the change consume me
Feel the outside turning in
I want to feel the metamorphosis and
Cleansing I've endured in
My Shadow

I'm getting that tattoed on my back as soon as I can slack off on paying some things off.

[Philip123]

The problem i found with this song is her examples of Ironic, most of them are garbage.

Don't get me wrong I like the song and her 1st albumn, but 10,000 spooons when you need a knife is not Ironic, a traffic jam when you're late is usually a weekly occurence and a no smoking sign on your cigarette break, how about you walk 20 metres down the road - Ridiculous.

Rant Over!!
