Your Favourite Lyrics

Recommended Posts

I've noticed quite a few members like to post their favourite songs on Cerb.

 

Music and the words can mean a lot to different people. It's a way to express the way we feel and think about ourselves and the world around us.

 

What's you're favorite verse, line?

 

We all (I) have some.

 

Think about it.

 

Here's one of my favorite lyrics for Cerb>

 

You're grown (you're grown up), so grown (so grown up)

Now I must say more than ever, come on Eileen

Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye-aye

We can sing just like our fathers

 

Come on Eileen, oh, I swear (well, he means)

At this moment, you mean everything

You in that dress, my thoughts, I confess

Verge on dirty, ah come on Eileen.

And another:

 

In touch with the ground

I'm on the hunt I'm after you

Smell like I sound, I'm lost in a crowd

And I'm hungry like the wolf

Straddle the line, in discord and rhyme

I'm on the hunt I'm after you

Mouth is alive with juices like wine

And I'm hungry like the wolf

What's your's?

Being an old romantic....

 

You fill up my senses

Like a night in the forest

Like the mountains in springtime

Like a walk in the rain

Like a storm in the desert

Like a sleepy blue ocean

You fill up my senses

Come fill me again

 

Come let me love you

Let me give my life to you

Let me drown in your laughter

Let me die in your arms

Let me lay down beside you

Let me always be with you

Come let me love you

Come love me again

 

Let me give my life to you

Come let me love you

Come love me again

"Sit on my Face" by Monty Python...

 

 

Sit on my face and tell me that you love me

I'll sit on your face and tell you I love you too

I love to hear you oralise

When I'm between your thighs

You blow me away

Sit on my face and let my lips embrace you

I'll sit on your face and then I'll love you truly

Life can be fine if we both sixty-nine

If we sit on our faces

In all sorts of places

And play till we're blown away.

Hmmm... changes a lot with my mood, I'm always updating the songs in my sig. because of that. Almost anything by Ben Harper would make the list.

 

On the lyrical/song content alone I'd probably go with Richest Man in Babylon by Thievery Corporation

and to be a little less political I'd say Poe, Beautiful Girl

 

Richest Man in Babylon

There is no quidance in your kingdom

Your wicked walk in Babylon

There is no wisdom to your freedom

The richest man in babylon

 

Your beggars sleep outside your doorway

Your prophets leave to wonder on

You fall asleep at night with worry

The saddest man in Babylon

 

The wicked stench of exploitation

Hangs in the air and lingers on

Beneath the praise and admiration

The weakest man in Babylon

 

There is no hope left in your kingdom

Your servants have burned all their songs

Nobody here remembers freedom

The richest man in Babylon

(cont...)

 

Beautiful Girl

Beautiful girl,

You mustve been a beautiful baby too

Beautiful woman,

You mustve had your moments inside the sun

Beautiful girl

 

Beautiful stranger

Why do you have to walk with your head hung low

Beautiful girl

 

Your eyes are mockingbirds inside a guilded cage

Your lifes a silent movie that I havent heard for ages

Tell me everything, someones gotta hear this

Beautiful thing

 

Beautiful mother, frozen in ice

Ive waiting for you to grow for my whole life

Beautiful girl

 

Your eyes are mockingbirds inside a guilded cage

Your lifes a silent movie that I havent heard for ages

Tell me everything, someones gotta hear this

Beautiful thing (so beautiful)

Musicians often have long road trips which provide them with more time on their hands that they really need or want. That's why, if they travel in groups, they always know all the best jokes. And have time to make up "alternative" lyrics to many songs.

 

In that vein, overheard from a musician friend of mine, with apologies to Smokie Robinson and his great version of Track of My Tears:

 

"Please sit on my face, so my lips can trace, a little bit closer, the crack of your rear."

 

I believe it goes on from there, but you get the idea, and that's all I can remember. :roll:

 

(Try singing along with those lyrics the next time you have a Karaoke night. lol)

 

Smokie's original: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=9MGP6vFMdE8

 

And an AbFab concert version with Annie Lennox, whom I've always considered one of the hottest women in rock.

 

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=DF9xfx-W_xA&NR=1

 

(Annie can sit on my face anytime.)

 

"Sit on my Face" by Monty Python...

 

 

Sit on my face and tell me that you love me

I'll sit on your face and tell you I love you too

I love to hear you oralise

When I'm between your thighs

You blow me away

Sit on my face and let my lips embrace you

I'll sit on your face and then I'll love you truly

Life can be fine if we both sixty-nine

If we sit on our faces

In all sorts of places

And play till we're blown away.

Elton John " I Want Love"

 

I want love, but its impossible

A man like me, so irresponsible

A man like me is dead in places

Other men feel liberated

 

I cant love, shot full of holes

Dont feel nothing, I just feel cold

Dont feel nothing, just old scars

Toughening up around my heart

 

But I want love, just a different kind

I want love, wont break me down

Wont brick me up, wont fence me in

I want a love, that dont mean a thing

Thats the love I want, I want love

 

I want love on my own terms

After everything Ive ever learned

Me, I carry too much baggage

Oh man Ive seen so much traffic

 

So bring it on, Ive been bruised

Dont give me love thats clean and smooth

Im ready for the rougher stuff

No sweet romance, Ive had enough.

 

I think some of us have felt like this one time or another.:smile:

And for those "cruising the track", as client or provider, with a certain sense of desperation, in whatever literal or metaphorical sense you may have done - or still do - that:

 

I'm riding down Kingsley,

figuring I'll get a drink

I turn the radio up loud,

so I don't have to think,

I take her to the floor,

looking for a moment when the world

seems right,

And I tear into the guts,

of something in the night.

 

You're born with nothing,

and better off that way,

Soon as you've got something they send

someone to try and take it away,

You can ride this road 'till dawn,

without another human being in sight,

Just kids wasted on

something in the night.

 

Nothing is forgotten or forgiven,

when it's your last time around,

I got enough stuff running 'round my head

That I just can't live down

 

When we found the things we loved,

They were crushed and dying in the dirt.

We tried to pick up the pieces,

And get away without getting hurt,

But they caught us at the state line,

And burned our cars in one last fight,

And left us running burned and blind,

Chasing something in the night.

 

Something in the Night - Bruce Springsteen

Depends on the day, or time of day, of course, but one of the perennial favourites would have to be Stan Rogers, Mary Ellen Carter. Particularly the very end:

 

"And you, to whom adversity has dealt the final blow

With smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go

Turn to, and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain

And like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again.

 

Rise again, rise again - though your heart it be broken

And life about to end

No matter what you've lost, be it a home, a love, a friend.

Like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again."

 

Pretty much anything by Meatloaf for the musical one-liners, though.

 

"can't you see my faded Levis

bursting apart"

 

:D

Over the last year or so, Mad World by Gary Jules has always kind of been at the edge of my conscience. I first noticed the song when it was used in a video game advertisement and I thought it sounded pretty cool although perhaps the juxtaposition with the scenes of viloence in the add helped to make the impact it did. However, I was curious enough to look it up and it made even more of an impression.

 

 

Mad World

Gary Jules (cover of Tears for Fears)

 

All around me are familiar faces

Worn out places, worn out faces

Bright and early for their daily races

Going nowhere, going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses

No expression, no expression

Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow

No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny

I find it kind of sad

The dreams in which I'm dying

Are the best I've ever had

I find it hard to tell you

I find it hard to take

When people run in circles

It's a very, very

Mad World

Mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good

Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday

And I feel the way that every child should

Sit and listen, sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous

No one knew me, no one knew me

Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson

Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kind of funny

I find it kind of sad

The dreams in which I'm dying

Are the best I've ever had

I find it hard to tell you

I find it hard to take

When people run in circles

It's a very, very

Mad World

Mad World

Enlarging your world

Mad World.

Great song, I too like the Gary Jules version of it as far as performance goes. I once used it for a fundraiser video for an animal shelter and it had amazing impact, lyrically it's brilliant yet so depressing. Gotta love Tears for Fears for that.

By the way this is the original video for the Gary Jules version of the song, not the movie promo one (Donnie Darko).

Need more friends with wings

All the angels I know

Put concrete in my veins

I?d always walk home alone

So I became lifeless

Just like my telephone

 

There?s nothing to lose

When no one knows your name

There?s nothing to gain

But the days don?t seem to change

 

Never played truth or dare

I?d have to check my mirror

To see if I?m still here

My parents had no clue

That I ate all my lunches

Alone in the bathroom

 

There?s nothing to lose

When no one knows your name

There?s nothing to gain

But the days don?t seem to change

There?s nothing to lose

My notebook will explain

There?s nothing to gain

And I can?t fight the pain

 

Teach us that it?s just a phase

When I grow up my children

Will probably do the same

Kids just love to tease

I know it put me under ground

At seventeen

 

There?s nothing to lose

When no one knows your name

There?s nothing to gain

But the days don?t seem to change

There?s nothing to lose

My notebook will explain

There?s nothing to gain

And I can?t fight the pain

There?s nothing to lose

When no one knows your name

There?s nothing to gain

But the days don?t seem to change

There?s nothing to lose

When no one knows your name

There?s nothing to gain

And I just died today

Here is a great song by Lou Reed but if you read the lyrics, I admit that it's freaky!

But the song sure has an engaging beat:

 

"Holly came from miami f.l.a.

Hitch-hiked her way across the u.s.a.

Plucked her eyebrows on the way

Shaved her leg and then he was a she

She says, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side

Said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side

 

Candy came from out on the island

In the backroom she was everybodys darling

But she never lost her head

Even when she was given head

She says, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side

Said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side

And the coloured girls go

 

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo..."

Yep, always loved that coloured girls part. Lou Reed is so cool. And his harder stuff is even edgier and more honest - "Heroin", "They're Taking Her Children Away", etc.

Music has always played a huge part in my life and I can fill this thread with ectabites but for the sane I will only post snippits of my favorite songs... you guess the rest...

 

......................................

Down on this killing floor.

Squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg,

The way you squeeze my lemon,

Im gonna fall right out of bed, yeah.

 

.......................................

 

And you can see them there,

On Sunday morning

They stand up and sing about

what it's like up there

They call it paradise

I don't know why

You call someplace paradise,

kiss it goodbye

........................................

 

It's a cool, sweet kinda-place

where the copters won't spot it

and I destroyed the map, I even thought I forgot it,

however, every-day I'm dumping the body.

It'd be better for us if you don't understand.

It'd be better for me if you don't understand

 

.........................................

 

walk past damaged goods and ugly trends

past a strawman making a purchase

downtown where the river bends

they're just waiting for you to resurface

take a look at this photograph

clearly his teeth were bared

he coulda been yawning or snarling

the story was never clear

 

..........................................

 

And the men who hold high places

Must be the ones who start

To mold a new reality

Closer to the heart

Closer to the heart

The blacksmith and the artist

Reflect it in their art

They forge their creativity

Closer to the heart

Closer to the heart

 

and the best song to get dirty with is.....(just my opinion)

 

Is love so fragile...

And the heart so hollow

Shatter with words...

Impossible to follow

Youre saying Im fragile... I try not to be

I search only... for something I cant see

 

I have my own life... and I am stronger

Than you know

But I carry this feeling

When you walked into my house

That you wont be walking out the door

Still I carry this feeling

When you walked into my house

That you wont be walking out the door

 

Lovers forever... face to face

My city or mountains

Stay with me stay

I need you to love me

I need you today

Give to me your leather...

Take from me... my lace

 

You in the moonlight

With your sleepy eyes

Could you ever love a man like me

And you were right

When I walked into your house

I knew Id never want to leave

Sometimes Im a strong man

Sometimes cold and scared

And sometimes I cry

But that time I saw you

I knew with you to light my nights

Somehow Id get by

First time I saw you

I knew with you to light my nights

Somehow I would get by

 

Lovers forever... face to face

My city or mountains

Stay with me stay

I need you to love me

I need you today

Give to me your leather...

Take from me... my lace

 

Lovers forever... face to face

My city or mountains

Stay with me stay

I need you to love me

I need you to stay

Give to me your leather

Take from me... my lace

Take from me... my lace

Take from me... my lace

I had to put this one up here, 2 parts from "Figured You Out" by Nickelback.

 

I like your pants around your feet

And I like the dirt that's on your knees

And I like the way you still say please

While your looking up at me

You're like my favourite damn disease

 

I like the freckles on your chest

And I like the way you like me best

And I like the way you're not impressed

While you put me to the test

I like the white stains on your dress

If only I could play guitar now....

What can I say....

 

The Look

 

Roxette

 

Walking like a man

Hitting like a hammer

She's a juvenile scam

Never was a quitter

Tasty like a raindrop

She's got the look

 

Heavenly bound

Cause heaven's got a number

When she's spinning me around

Kissing is a colour

Her loving is a wild dog

She's got the look

 

She's got the look, -she's got the look-

She's got the look, -she's got the look-

What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue

When everything I'll ever do, I'll do for you

And I go: la la la la la

She's got the look

 

Fire in the ice

Naked to the t-bone

Is a lovers disguise

Banging on the head drum

Shaking like a mad bull

She's got the look

 

Swaying to the band

Moving like a hammer

She's a miracle man

Loving is the ocean

Kissing is the wet sand

She's got the look

 

She's got the look, -she's got the look-

She's got the look, -she's got the look-

What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue

When everything I'll ever do, I'll do for you

And I go: la la la la la

She's got the look

 

Walking like a man

Hitting like a hammer

Shes a juvenile scam

Never was a quitter

Tasty like a raindrop

She's got the look

 

And she goes:

Na na na na na,

Na na na na na na,

Na na na na na,

Na na na na na na,

Na na na na na na na na,

She's got the look

 

She's got the look, -she's got the look-

She's got the look, -she's got the look-

What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue

When everything I'll ever do, I'll do for you

And I go: la la la la la

She's got the look

 

What in the world can make you so blue

When everything I'll ever do, I'll do for you

And I go: la la la la la

 

Na na na na na,

Na na na na na na,

Na na na na na,

Na na na na na na,

Na na na na na na na na,

She's got the look

 

And she goes:

Na na na na na,

Na na na na na na,

Na na na na na,

Na na na na na na,

Na na na na na na na na,

She's got the look -she's got the look- (x3)

In this hobby this one has some significance....

 

Hot Child In The City

Nick Gilder

 

Danger in the shape of somethin' wild

Stranger dressed in black, she's a hungry child

No one knows who she is or what her name is

I don't know where she came from or what her game is

 

(Hot child in the city)

(Hot child in the city)

(Runnin' wild and lookin' pretty)

(Hot child in the city)

 

So young to be loose and on her own

Young boys, they all want to take her home

She goes downtown, the boys all stop and stare

When she goes downtown, she walks like she just don't care, care

 

(Hot child in the city)

(Hot child in the city)

(Runnin' wild and lookin' pretty)

Yeah

(Hot child in the city)

 

Come on down to my place, baby

We'll talk about love

Come on down to my place, woman

We'll make love!

 

Hot child in the city

(Hot child in the city)

She's kinda dangerous

(Hot child in the city)

Young child

(Runnin' wild and lookin' pretty)

Young child, runnin' wild

(Hot child in the city)
