Favourite line/snippet from a song

[Somewhat]

What's your most favouritest line from a song?
Mine would be "They're watching you from above" - Bliss, Muse.
It's purty.

[Alexandra]

The line in my signature. It's originally "Well I could sleep forever, but it's of her I dream, If I could sleep forever, I could forget about everything" but I changed the "her" to "you" for my sig. It's from the song Sleep by the Dandy Warhols.

[Leif]

I'm into some really deep lyrics:

"I called her on the phone and she touched herself." Say Anything

"I mix your milk wit my cocoa puff/milky, milky cocoa/mix your milk with my cocoa puff, milky, milky riiiiiight." Black Eyed Pease

"This ~*pineapples*~ is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S" Gwen Stefani

*sniff* powerful stuff right there... But honestly, I can't think of my all-time favorite lyrics. Though I can say that Ben Gibbard (of Death Cab for Cutie and the Postal Service) is one of my favorite lyricists.

[Alexandra]

Lol you scared me there for a minute, Leif. I thought you were serious.

Death Cab! I love them. Soul Meets Body and I Will Follow You Into The Dark have great lyrics.

[Aimee]

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry? Pink, Dear Mr President
Leave me alone I'm lonely Pink, Leave me alone, I'm lonely
And of course
C A M P F I R E S O N G song Spongebob, campfire song song

[Riali]

"The sun through yellow curtains, and a rainbow on the wall" and
"I will bring you incense owls by night, by candle light, by jewel light"
"Chelsea Morning", Joni Mitchell

"I heard you're building your house, deep in the desert"
"Famous Blue Raincoat", Leonard Cohen

If I had a boat, I would sail out on the ocean, and if I had a pony, I'd ride it on my boat"
"If I Had a Boat", Lyle Lovett

"If I had $1000000, we wouldn't have to eat Kraft Dinner.
-But we would eat Kraft Dinner!
-Of course we would, we'd just eat more!
-And buy really expensive Ketchups with it... all the fanciest... mmm, Dijon Ketchup!"
"If I Had $1000000", BNL

and of course...

"All we are saying, is give peace a chance!"

I know, I'm a hippie. What can you do"?

[Jaya]

Ah, I don't know about favourite, I can't recall all the songs I know to remember...

But some I'm currently liking are:

'Just like me, they long to be, close to you...' Close to you.

'You're just innocent, a helpless victim of a spider's web and I'm an insect, going after anything that I can get' - Tangled, Maroon 5

'Hey there little snapping turtle, snapping at a shell, there's mysteries inside but what they are I just can't tell for sure...' Little Orange Spider (I think? I forget the name of the dude, Devendra something.)

[Mockingbird]

I'm not much of a music person so I haven't got favorites.

Here is one I like because it's cheeky: 'There's only music so that there's new ringtones'--The Shins.

[cassingtonscholar]

“He said, ‘Son, can you play me a melody
I’m not really sure how it goes.
But it’s sad and it’s sweet
And I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man’s clothes.’”

—Billy Joel, “Piano Man”


“Seasons change with the scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry.”

—Paul Simon (and Art Garfunkel), “A Hazy Shade of Winter”

[jordan college girl]

"If I had $1000000, we wouldn't have to eat Kraft Dinner.
-But we would eat Kraft Dinner!
-Of course we would, we'd just eat more!
-And buy really expensive Ketchups with it... all the fanciest... mmm, Dijon Ketchup!"
"If I Had $1000000", BNL

If I had a million dollars
(If I had a million dollars)
Well, I'd buy you a green dress
(But not a real green dress, that's cruel)


One of my favorite songs ever by one of my favoritest bands ever!!!

[heatheradair]

but if my silence made you leave
then that would be my worst mistake
so i will share this room with you
and you can have this heart to break

you've left me now, and it's seasoned my soul

[aklebury]

Living is easy with eyes closed/Misunderstanding all you see

The Beatles, Strawberry Fields Forever

[necromancer1989]

Who wants to live forever
Who dares to love forever
When love must die

Who Wants To Live Forever - Queen

The way that Freddie Mercury delivers that last bit is just heartbreakingly beautiful.

and from the same song:

And touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips



My plug in baby, crucifies my enemies

Plug In Baby - Muse

One of my favorite Muse songs.


Forever young
I come from God knows where
'Cos now I’m here
Without a hope or care

I am trouble
And I am troubled too

My name is Tristan
And I am alive


Tristan - Patrick Wolf

[Darragh]

What's your most favouritest line from a song?

If you think that you're strong enough
If you think you belong enough
If you think that you're strong enough
If you think you belong enough

[jessia]

at the moment,

she hadn't been a virgin and he hadn't been a god
so she named the baby elvis to make up for all the royalty he lacked

[Jaya]

People in love get fast and foolish
People in love get everything wrong
People in love get scared and stupid
People in love get everything wrong

At least they're not lonely
At least they're not lonely
They'll never be lonely

[Slizer]

"When I hear the engine pass
I'm kissing you wide
The hissing subsides"

...

"
When the evening reaches here
You're tying me up
I'm dying of love
It's OK"

Trains by Porcupine Tree

[Diolmhain]

Stop sending letters, letters always get burnt-Radiohead, Motion Picture Soundtrack

And from the same song

It's not like the movies, they fed us on little white lies

[Alexandra]

When the evening reaches here
You're tying me up
I'm dying of love
It's OK"

Trains by Porcupine Tree

Amazing song.

Another of my all time fave song lyrics:

I think I'm drowning
Asphyxiated
I want to break this spell that you've created
You're something beautiful
A contradiction
I want to play the game, I want the friction
...
I wanted freedom
Bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
But I'm addicted
Now that you know I'm trapped
Sense of elation
You'd never dream of
Breaking this fixation

<3 Muse.

[Jaya]

Well, technically the whole song I <3 the lyrics to but...

I am a question to the world
Not an answer to be heard

...[later]

And I want a moment to be real
Want to touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong

And how can the world want me to change
They're the ones that stay the same
They don't know me
'Cause I'm not here

...[later]

And how can the world want me to change
They're the ones that stay the same
They can't see me
But I'm still here

They can't tell me who to be
'Cause I'm not what they see
Yeah, the world is still sleepin' while I keep on dreaming for me
And their words are just whispers and lies that I'll never believe

Darn, yeah, I should have just pasted the whole song, it was hard enough picking bits...
