Favorite Lyrics


Not a whole song just certain powerful lyrics that you like or mean something to you.

Sometimes the song my just ok but certain lyrics say something to you.

This lyric for me shows what the love of a family can do.

"Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name "


What are some of your favorite lyrics?

reply

Not powerful, but this always cheers me up:

I headed into the kitchen
What a surprise
Overcooked the chicken
And now its burned
Oh it don't look good
I'm going hungry

The Hot Melts - Edith. It just don't make no sense! LOL Also, does anyone remember that band?!

I also sing to myself "and heaven knows I'm miserable now" every so often. And then "Morrissey Rides A Cockhorse" gets into my head and I feel less depressed. I still like The Smiths though.

I'll also think of some real lyrics for you at some point (probably in a month or so).

OH, AND THIS:

AS SURE AS KILIMANJARO RISES LIKE OLYMPUS ABOVE THE SERENGETI!!!

"I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour but heaven knows I'm miserable now"
Gots to love Morrissey!

My daughter asked me to read a passage of my choosing for her wedding, I chose the lyrics from Let the Right one In because they're both Mozza fans and it's one of my favourite films. I broke down reading it like a fool (oh the shame), it was the lines "What took you so long? What took you so long? "

AS SURE AS KILIMANJARO RISES LIKE OLYMPUS ABOVE THE SERENGETI!!!
I always feel like punching the air when I read these lines as I recall the elation of finally solving that fiendishly difficult but genius clue that you set.😂

Going hungry is very powerful. May I suggest getting a timer.

Oh yes that song!
As Dazed said you took it to a new level on that one.
Our frustration became her elation when she solved it.
Two emoji geniuses were born on that post.

And it wasn't me!

From my man DB...from the genius that is Unwashed and somewhat slightly dazed.
"I'm a phallus in pigtails
And there's blood on my nose
And my tissue is rotting
Where the rats chew my bones
And my eye sockets empty
See nothing but pain
I keep having this brainstorm
About twelve times a day
So now you could spend the morning walking with me quite amazed
As I'm unwashed and somewhat slightly dazed"

reply

You made me cry with this one.
Good memories.

Turn down the lights
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me
Tell me no lies
Just hold me close
Don't patronize
Don't patronize me

'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't

I'll close my eyes
Then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come
And I'll do what's right
Just give me 'til then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight

This is one of my all time favs


There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go.
I never said thank you for that.
I thought I might get one more chance.

What would you think of me now,
So lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
Now I'll never have a chance.

May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.

And if you were with me tonight,
I'd sing to you just one more time.
A song for a heart so big,
God wouldn't let it live.

Jimmy Eat World.
Good song.

reply

Love that song. They are awesome live too.

Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark

Whoever is unjust let him be unjust still
Whoever is righteous let him be righteous still
Whoever is filthy let him be filthy still


tee, hee.

One day while I was not at home
While she was there and all alone
The angels came

With jacks and timbers they started back down
