Favorite line from a song.

[Fretless1!]

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
~Pink Floyd's "Time"

Actually, I like that whole song... and album.

 

[rosanne]

"I don't scare easy, I don't fall apart when I'm under the gun."
Tom Petty

and

"Say something once, why say it again?"
Talking Heads "Psycho Killer"

"I got something to say,
I killed your baby today,
and it doesn't matter much to me,
as long as it's dead."

"How can you expect a child to understand the sickness of a world whose eyes are blind?
The dying man inside this little boy is questioning his once upon a time."

"Built like she was... She had the nerve to ask me if I planned to do her any harm". Prince - Rasberry Baret

 

[Eric Perry]

The Police;
"Poets, priests and politicians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
And no-one's jamming their transmission
And when their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and rapes you."

Never knew what was said there. What a great (and true) line!!!

 

[Eric Perry]

This...

"I got something to say,
I killed your baby today,
and it doesn't matter much to me,
as long as it's dead."

To this...

...."On they fight, for the right, yes, but who's to say?
For a hill, men would kill. Why? They do not know
Stiffend wounds test their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know"....

Metallica are such tools.

No life till leather,
We're gonna kick some ass tonight!
-Metallica Hit the Lights Kill 'em all

Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending maze, drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season
-Metallica Master of Puppets

 

[Solarmist]

"What do you mean I'm not kind - just not your kind" ....... Peace Sells/Megadeth

 

[Basshappi]

I've never had unpaid confidants
It's more than I would care to explain
But I have an open door policy
When it comes to blame - Incubus "Sick, Sad Little World"

It was long after midnight
When we got to unconditional love
She said "Sure, my heart is boundless
But don't push my limits too far."
I said "If love was so transcendant
I don't understand these boundaries."
She said "Just don't disappoint me,
You know how complex women are." - Rush "Cold Fire"

 

[Back'N'Black]

Shot down in flames, aint it a shame to be shot down in flames...
AC/DC

 

[theory028]

"And I ask myself
Would you care at all?"

- Mogwai, Cody


"What would you do
If you saw spaceships
Over Glasgow?
Would you fear them?"

- Mogwai, Take Me Somewhere Nice


"But if she saw me right now
She would hold me until we both die"

- Sevendust, XMas Day


They have to be heard in the context of the song for the full experience to be felt.

 

[Hoover]

"To be willing to march
Into hell for a heavenly cause."

Andy Williams - Impossible Dream

Andy's a killer singer for sure, but in fairness to the composers, "Impossible Dream" is by Joe Darion and Mitch Leigh (lyrics & music respectively).

 

[WyrmDL]

I didn't know that; thanks for clearing it up!

 

[WookieeForLife]

This captain goes down with the ships
All hands on deck, Stand hip to hip.
I shout the orders, SHOOT THE CANNONS
I'm dressed to thrill i'm i'm dressed to thrill.
And tell the enemies, I want their eyes to watch
Their captain walk the plank. - Senses fail.


Oh let's stop, Drop everything
Forget eachothers name
and just walk away. - Chiodos


I could wait, for years, just to feel you again. - Alesana

Yes, crappy emo music, I know.

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl...(Pink Floyd, Wish you were here)

 

[hbarcat]

With. Without. And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?

This is a great thread.

They call it happy hour.... I don't know why
