Lines From Songs That Mean Something To You

[Anna Woman von NRW]

I'm curious as to what makes us all tick. So what lines from what songs mean something to you? Over the years this board has probably analysed NMA lyrics to death so they are excluded. What words stand true for you? You don't need to explain why unless you want to ( I ain't gonna ) but a link would probably be useful. Yes, I'm being nosey..... but in recompense here's some of mine.

“I found love, I found life as a thorn stuck in your side. And you wonder why?” - Rise Against : The Eco-Terrorist In Me.

I could probably fill pages on my own but what moves you?

[Master Ray]

OK... here's some lyrics that strike a chord... I WOULD post links but, for some reason, Youtube seems to be blocking me...   

'I've been too honest with myself, I should have lied like everybody else...' Manics, 'Faster'...

'It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate, it takes guts to be gentle and kind...'  The Smiths, 'I Know It's Over'

'Finding the answer... it's a human obsession... but you might as well talk to the stones and the trees and the sea...' Marillion, 'Estonia'...

'God knows everybody needs a hand in their decision... Some of us are not so sure... I've seen his own held out for a ride on television... I think he's still in Baltimore...' The Sisters Of Mercy, 'Somewhere Fast'....

That's four for starters...

[Pol]

Ok need to have a think about this one as its late
l cried when angels deserved to die - chop suey - soad
You'll work harder with a gun in your back for a bowl of rice a day - holiday in Cambodia -DK
Loving is the key that unlocks the door but you never know what's waiting behind - Fate -Nma
Stuff your fckin armies killing isn't my idea of fun - Wasted life - Slf

This could get to be a long list indeed; will try a few and see how it goes.

"Here come the marching men, your colours wrapped around" - Colours, Sisters of Mercy

"We're expected to die for the land of our birth though we've never owned one lousy handful of earth" - Workers' Song, Dropkick Murphys.

"I am the demon cleaner..... Wash them all away" - Demon Cleaner, Kyuss.

"One day all this will be yours" - One Day All This Will Be Yours, Oceansize

"I was born here and I’ll die here against my will
I know it looks like I’m moving, but I’m standing still
Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb
I can’t even remember what it was I came here to get away from
Don’t even hear a murmur of a prayer
It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there" - Not Dark Yet, Bob Dylan

"I'm on the last train home and I don't want to be here; they're either stinking of weed or they're stinking of beer" - Last Train Home, Dan le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip

"I miss you more than words can say" - Quick Fade, Feeder

"Rap is more deadly that ******* kung fu" - Guns Don't Kill People, Goldie Lookin' Chain

"And while you're ripping off the children somebody's ******* your wife" - Shotgun Blues, Guns 'N' Roses

"They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool" - Working Class Hero, John Lennon

[Master Ray]

OK, some new ones...

I savor hate as much as I crave love because I'm just a twisted guy...Is this the pinnacle, is this the pinnacle, the pinnacle of being alive? (Biffy Clyro, God And Satan)

and when you're no longer searching for beauty or love - just some kind of life with the edges taken off... when you can't even define what it is that you are frightened of... (Pulp, The Fear)

Why do the Gods sit back and watch... so many lost.... What kind of mother leaves a child in the traffic, turning tricks in the dark... What kind of God? (Marillion, When I Meet God)

Outside, open mouthed crowds pass each other as if they're drugged'  Manics, 'From Despair To Where'

[Bunny]

Wow. Good thread.

I know its over and it never really began. But in my heart it was so real- I know its over, The Smiths. Still a great song. Im also pinching Master Rays lyric choice too!!

We're not positive and uplifting, **** you, walk a mile in our shoes, experience hard times and paying helly dues- We don't die-Twiztid.

As a familiar face with a loving smile greets you everyday, as failure seeps a little deeper through your life, yeah sure you gave some girl your heart but you never used it anyway
Learn to cry- Del Amitri


Yea maybe sometimes I do feel like shit
I ain't happy 'bout it, but I'd rather feel like shit than be full of shit!
And if I offended you, oh I'm sorry...
But maybe you need to be offended
But here's my apology and one more thing...**** you!
Suicidal Tendencies- You Cant bring me down

You say, "Son, let's forget the past.
I want another chance, gonna make it last."
You're begging me for a brand new start,
trying to mend a bridge that's been blown apart,
but you know... you never built it dad.
Queensryche- The Bridge....yes. I have dad issues 

[Anna Woman von NRW]

I like this - keep 'em coming, it's like a little window into our souls 

How can I be,
What I want To be?
 When all I want to do is strip away
 These stilled constraints
 And crush this charade
 Shred this sad masquerade
 I don't need no persuading
 I'll trip, fall, pick myself up and
 Walk unafraid

REM - Walk Unafraid

Imma do the things that I wanna do
 I ain't got a thing to prove to you
 I'll eat my candy with the pork and beans
 Excuse my manners if I make a scene
 I ain't gonna wear the clothes that you like
 I'm fine and dandy with the me inside
 one look in the mirror and I'm tickled pink
 I don't give a hoot about what you think

 No, I don't care
 I don't care
 I don't care
 I don't care
 I don't care
 I don't care

Weezer - Pork & Beans

And because Pol & Jack cheated so can I 

"And all the seeds we've sown in a Lifetime, they'll come good some day"

Changing Of The Light - Justin Sullivan

[Pol]

Why does it always rain on me, is it cos i lied when i was only 17 - Travis
From once a blue moon to once a blue sky - Damian Marley
Food clothes and shelter is all the poor man asking for -Misty in roots
Just because your a black boy Just because your white doesn't mean you've got to hate them, doesn't make it alright - Slf
So drink and be merry for tomorrow you way die - Amebix

[Pol]

When they kick at your front door how you gonna come with hands on your head or the trigger of a gun - guns of Brixton - the clash

[Rusco]

Remember, remember,  their terror is the best of guards
Terminus - Terror Is The Best of Guards

They found you in spain
Face down in the street
With a bottle in your hand
And a wild smile on your face
And a knife in your back
You died in a foreign land
And they found my letter
Rolled up in your pocket
Where I said I'd kill myself
If she left me again
Swans - God Damn the Sun

We whispered only to ourselves and the walls came tumbling down
NMA - Liberal Education


...posting later some more.

[Pol]

Got this song in my head
Well i used to love you once upon a time,but now you've made me lose my mind,insane that's what you've made me,insane that's what you've done - insane - the meteors

[Anna Woman von NRW]

"You've been sad for a while, why not smile?"
