| | Best song one liners/lyrics you lovePage 1 of 9 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) | I know there's a thread about complete song lyrics, consider this the condensed version...some off the top of my head:
"All that is now, All that is gone , All that's to come, and everything under the sun is in tune but the sun is eclipsed by the moon." Pink Floyd from Dark Side of the Moon, song "Eclipse"- Heavy
"All the world's indeed a stage and we are merely players, performers and portrayers, each another’s audience outside the gilded cage" Rush from Moving Pictures, song "Limelight"- Peart is a genius
"How can I live without you....if it means I gotta get job" Cracker from The Golden Age, song "How can I live with out you"- Cracker's got some brilliant (yet disturbing) ones
I know there are better out there than these... | |

| Best song one liners/lyrics you love Posted: 4/16/2009 5:26:23 PM | Not exactly great poetry, but I really like these lines from "Them Kids" by Sam Roberts:
We're under pressure to reconcile Our point of view with contemporary style
It used to be that the kids were the ones who knew how to get off It was a yell from the swamp, now it's only coming out as a cough I can't sell my songs so I'm gonna have to give them away I can't sell myself since my hair started turning to grey | |

Got to be The Smiths for me
Let me put my hands On your mammary glands
Ah, the Smiths....naughty Mr. Morrissey. Speaking of lyrics of somewhat ill repute, another Crackerism from the song Teen Angst:
"What the world needs now, is a new Frank Sinatra, so I can...get you in bed."
From the Love and Rockets album Express, the song "American Dream":
"We all stand next to Jesus `cause to Satan we're both the same". Yeah, Satan definately hates everybody. | |

"You can get back up on the shelf, I can live cheaper by myself, Dont need no woman to help me starve to death, Can ya dig it........huh"
Should you not have reached these depths,I suggest Massive attack;
"And though you want to live yourself, Could you forgive yourself, If youleft her here, Just the way you found her, I'll stand in front of you, Take the force of the blows, Protection" | |

| Best song one liners/lyrics you love Posted: 4/19/2009 7:27:57 AM | What do you mean, "I hurt your feelings"? I didn't know you had any feelings. What do you mean, "I ain't kind"? I'm just not your kind. What do you mean, "I couldn't be president of the U.S.A."? Tell me something, it's still
"We the people,"right? | |

So what's to fear when everything is crystal clear You realize that you should do the things you wanna do Don't give in to what people say, don't be ashamed To separate the feelings on your mind you can't sedate Adema - "The way you like it"

| Best song one liners/lyrics you love Posted: 4/19/2009 3:13:56 PM | Now how many people has been there and done this!! Not recently, but I hate to admit I have.
Just another night And I'm all alone I wonder where you are Who you're holding
And I'm wasting time By the telephone It gets harder when there's no way of knowing
I always thought we'd be together someday There was nothing that could keep me away Coulda worked it out somehow But it's over now Thought you'd be comin' 'round But it's over now
When I close my eyes I can see your face There was still so much to discover All the time we shared Can't be erased No you're in the arms of another | |

| Best song one liners/lyrics you love Posted: 4/20/2009 9:39:08 AM | Some of my favorites off the top of my head:
You know I like my chicken fried, cold beer on a Friday night, a pair of jeans that fit just right, and the radio up. -Chicken Fried, Zac Brown Band I’m strong on the surface, not all the way through. I’ve never been perfect, but neither have you. Forgetting all the hurt inside you’ve learned to hide so well. -Leave Out All the Rest, Linkin Park You only see what I let you see, nothing less, and nothing more. -Kiss My Sass, Cobra Starship Why does fate make us suffer? -What Have You Done?, Within Temptation So give me something to believe, ‘cause I am living just to breathe. And I need something more, to keep on breathing for, so give me something to believe. -Believe, The Bravery And I’m surrounded by a million people. I still feel alone. -Home, Blake Shelton Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth, and the truth isn’t what you want to see. Close your eyes and let music set you free. -Music of the Night, Andrew Lloyd Webber But I don’t know what I want. -I Caught Myself, Paramore I’m gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well. -White Horse, Taylor Swift She wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts. She’s cheer captain and I’m on the bleachers. -You Belong With Me, Taylor Swift I take a step back, I let you go. I told you I’m not fooling you, now you know. -Tell Me Why, Taylor Swift | |

| Best song one liners/lyrics you love Posted: 4/20/2009 10:38:25 AM | One good line from the song Fall to pieces by Jonas Steur
"Poetry means nothing when you love me and leave, You can disappear one day then wear your heart on your sleeve, Do you know what I'm worth? What do you see?"
And of course, there's the refrain for the song "Into the dark" by ferry corsten
"How can you fall into the dark, when my arms are there to catch you? How will I ever lose my way, with your open hand to cling to?"
Oh and then there's DJ Tiesto/BT's song "Break my fall" (although the music itself makes the lyrics that much better)
" This unspoken within I feel complete my love The moments apart I'm craving your light in the dark " | |

"You kill me, with a look, you overwhelm me, you're like a drug, you won't release me..." Drag - Justin Clayton
"All you ever wanted was love, but you never looked hard enough, it's never gonna give itself up..." Low - Coldplay
"You blink and you miss, a beat, keep one of your eyes open at all time, you think, that you're on the brink..." Consequence - Incubus
"I was born to run, I was born to dream, the craziest boy you've ever seen, I gotta do it my way..." Turn Me Loose - Lover Boy
