best song lines ever

[Zee.]

Reading this thread i can tell which of you are old timers and which of you are new age monkeys.

Because the old timers like all the old, corny lines.
Sorry baby cakes

[seanlol]

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

[amalia1985]

Epica, "Cry For The Moon":

Eternal silence cries out for justice
Forgiveness is not for sale, nor is the will to forget.

[seanlol]

this is war.
every line is about who i don't wanna write about anymore.
hope you come down with something they can't diagnose,
don't have the cure for.
holding on to your grudge.
oh it's so hard to have someone to love.
and keeping quiet is hard.
'cause you can't keep a secret
if it never was a secret to start.
at least pretend you didn't wanna get caught.


Okay I Believe You, But My Tommy Gun Don't ~ Brand New

[grotto]

And the train that I ride has nothing aside
From the Phantom Conductor with a dog at his side
And the ghost of a weeping, weddingless bride
Who should have been married but never arrived
And I see through the windows like I see through the lies
Like I see through every useless disguise that
Everyone wears but everyone swears that they don't
Ah but don't mind me baby, I'm only dying slow

[Mathor]

We've got love and hate, it's the oooooooonllllly waaaaaaaay.

[aeroport]

You steal a gun
To kill time

Porcupine Tree - 'Fear of a Blank Planet'

[dramasnot6]

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonder bread
and went right back to bed
We couldn't break the columns down
No, we couldn't destroy a single one
and the history books forgot about us
and the bible didnt mention us
not even once

'Samson' Regina Spektor

[metal134]

What is this, that stands before me?
Figure in black, which points at me.
Turn around quick and start to run.
Find out I'm the chosen one.

-Black Sabbath

[amalia1985]

"Who wants to separate the world we know from our beliefs,
and who sees only black and white, distinguish loss from sacrifice.
Some day we may come to peace with the world within ourselves,
and I will await you until I close my eyes."

Kamelot- "Memento Mori"

[metal134]

Hook in Mouth - Megadeth

A cockroach in the concrete, courthouse tan and beady eyes.
A slouch with fallen arches, purging truths into great lies.
A little man with a big eraser, changing history
Procedures that hes programmed to, all he hears and sees.

Altering the facts and figures, events and every issue.
Make a person disappear, and no one will ever miss you.

Rewrites every story, every poem that ever was.
Eliminates incompetence, and those who break the laws.
Follow the instructions of the new ways evil book of rules.
Replacing rights with wrongs, the files and records in the schools.

You say you've got the answers, well who asked you anyway?
Ever think maybe it was meant to be this way?
Don't try to fool us, we know the worst is yet to come.
I believe my kingdom will come.


F is for fighting
R is for red, ancestors blood in battles they've shed.
E, we elect them
E, we eject them, in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
D, for your dying
O, your overture
M, they will cover your grave with manure.

This spells out freedom, it means nothing to me,
As long as there's a P.M.R.C.

[kilted exile]

from Vincent Black Lightning 1952

And I've seen you at the corners and cafes it seems
Red hair and black leather, my favourite colour scheme"

what you do with what you've got

What's the use of two good legs if you only run away
What's the use of the finest voice if you've nothing good to say
What good is strength and muscle if you only push and shove
And what's the use of two good ears if you can't hear those you love

Between those who use their neighbours and those who use a cane
Between those in constant power and those in constant pain
Between those who run to evil and those who cannot run
Tell me which ones are the cripples and which ones touch the sun

[Babbalanja]

So who's the one who smokes barefoot Contessas
Gonna tell 'em where she can roam
Who's the one that walks down Milano Street
And leaves 'em shouting, Yankee go home!

-New York Dolls, "Who Are the Mystery Girls?"

You have never been in love,
Until you've seen the stars,
reflect in the resevoirs

And you have never been in love,
Until you've seen the dawn rise,
behind the home for the blind

We are the pretty petty thieves,
And you're standing on our street..

- Morrissey First of the Gang to Die

[Shalot]

who's seen jezebel?
she was born to be the woman we could blame
make me a beast half as brave
