Favourite Set Of Lyrics?

And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And, maybe, they'd be happy for a while.


So bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin', "this'll be the day that I die.
"this'll be the day that I die."

Do you believe in rock 'n roll,
Can music save your mortal soul,


I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck,

And while lennon read a book of marx,
The quartet practiced in the park,
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died.


While the sergeants played a marching tune.
We all got up to dance,
Oh, but we never got the chance!
`cause the players tried to take the field;
The marching band refused to yield.


Oh, and there we were all in one place,
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again.
So come on: jack be nimble, jack be quick!
Jack flash sat on a candlestick
Cause fire is the devil's only friend.

Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage.
No angel born in hell
Could break that satan's spell.
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite,
I saw satan laughing with delight


I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news,
But she just smiled and turned away.
And the three men I admire most:
The father, son, and the holy ghost,
They caught the last train for the coast

so these are my favorite bits from my favorite song of all time

and yeah one of them is about marching band (im a geek)

"all because of you, i believe in angels. not the kind with wings, no not kind with halos. the kind that bring you home." the good left undone - rise againsttripplebrow

i love that one in fact its my favorite part of the whole song

And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And, maybe, they'd be happy for a while.


So bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin', "this'll be the day that I die.
"this'll be the day that I die."

Do you believe in rock 'n roll,

Great song !!!

Immortal Technique - Angel of death verse

Immortal Technique, I live life stranglin' death
I walk through the land where the fallen angel is kept
But I would never bow down to a pagan habit,
Like roman god's that were **** named after the planets
The connotations of revelations taken for granted
Mark of the beast, the government microchips implanted
I'll be branded a manic for speakin' the truth
And I'll be murdered as soon as I hit the streets with the proof
Illuminati trying to raise the devil at any cost
They probably cloned Jesus with the blood off of the cross
And I know it's the same **** I see,
That genetically engineered HIV
Controlling the population according to mathematics
Generated by Masons and the military industry sponsorin' terror
Creatin' a profit margin that'll last forever
The Crusades and Vietnam stand blasted together
And you believe in "whatever"
Even the federal promise,
But the spawn of Satan can never be honest
The poor people pay homage
And pray to a god that the Vatican themselves don't really even believe in
Cause they would rather worship money and the physical demons
Without biblical reason
I execute them for treason
I don't need an alibi
'Cause my place in history is the book of Malichi

'' Leafs fads away like dreams at each fall. '' accrophone

Because it will piss a lot of people off if I post it (ridiculously long), I shall post a link.

Its all of the words to the album "Yes Sir, I Will", by Crass.

This topic has already been done before but I'll let it slide! ;) :P :Pheyfunboy

Damn they're onto me!

I like the lyrics of Closer by NIN

"You can have my isolation, you can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith, you can have my everything
Help me tear down my reason, help me its' your sex I can smell
Help me you make me perfect, help me become somebody else"

But when it comes to singing, Cherub Rock by Smashing Pumpkins

"WHOOOOOOOOO WANTS THAT HOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEEEEEEY, AS LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG AS THERES SOME MOOOOOOOOOOOONEY"

love to play that song on rock band

ahh love for immortal technique.

but this is just an amazing song of his...

And we don't got no mansion or riches,
But we got guns and knifes, and your children s pictures,
And everybody loses in war, but you lose more,
What you think we brought back the panthers, and the zulu for?

...

Brown and black, like the AK I keep in the strap,
While we waiting on the next stock market collapse.

Sadly the lyrics on the link are pretty wrong...

What? I like this topic...

Strawberry Fields:

"Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out.
It doesn't matter much to me."

Good old Rise Against :D

My favorite lyrics to any song. I wwonder if anyone can figure it out without google...

I feel that I was meant for something more
My curse, this awful power to unmake
And ever since you found your taste for war
You forced me onto those whose life you'd take

While Guernica in peaceful valley lay
And Dresden dreamed of anything but death
The day was turned to night and night to day
You let me loose upon their fragile flesh

And so I hid among the smaller things
You found me there and ferried me above
The flame deluge is waiting in the wings
The smallest thread holds back the second flood

And who will stand to greet the blinding light
It's lonely when there's no one left to fight

We chase misprinted lines
We face the path of time
And yet I fight, and yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry too
No place to call home

Ohhhhh ohhh

My gift to self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find, and yet I find
Repeating in my head
If I can't be my own
I'd feel better dead


I think those are the lyrics I just wrote them down, Nutshell- Alice in chains

"and when the day arrives
I'll become the sky
and I'll become the sea

and the sea will come to kiss me
for I am going home

nothing can stop me now"

There is one...

What song is that? I'm guessing it's by NIN (correct me if I'm wrong lol), but I don't know the song title.

"I'll tell you this, no eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn." - The WASP by The Doors

"In my nothing, you were everything to me." - And All That Could Have Been by Nine Inch Nails

"I know the pieces fit, because I saw them fall away." - Schism by Tool

"Twenty-six years and seems like I've just begun
To understand my, my intimate is no one
When the director sold the show, who bought its last rites?
They cut the cast, the music, and the lights

This is my line, this is eternal
How did I ever end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone

Twenty-six years end, still speaking in these tongues
Such revelations while understood by no one
When the new actor stole the show, who questioned his grace?
Please clear this house of ill-aquired taste

This is my line, this is eternal
How did I ever end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone

Give me something, give me something
Give me something, give me something
Give me something, give me something real

I lay strewn across the floor, can't solve this puzzle
Everyday another small piece can't be found
I lay strewn across the floor, pieced up in sorrow
The pieces are lost, these pieces don't fit
Pieced together incomplete and empty

This is my line, this is eternal
How did I ever end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone

This is my line, this is eternal
How did I end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone"

But Home Is Nowhere... by AFI

"Let's hear a toast for lonliness, sometimes it just makes so much sense. For everynight I drink alone, I'm happier than I could have ever known" - All The Best Cowboys by Senses Fail
