significant lyrics

i was gonna ask about favorite song lyrics, but thought that might be a bit broad. how 'bout some lyrics that have meant a lot to you for whatever reason (and state the reason, if you're willing).

edit. GemLil officially apologises for her reaction. Over zealous emo-radar it was.

wow, a bit harsh. and to think i just left you a nice comment on your profile. (not a huge emo fan either) but here goes...

From I SEE A DARKNESS

"well, i hope that someday buddy we have peace in our lives,
together or apart, alone or with our wives, and we can stop our whoring and pull the smiles inside, and light it up forever and never go to sleep my best unbeaten brother."

i know this song as a johnny cash cover on CASH III. song reminds me a lot of me and a good friend. had some trouble and just trying to make things better now. wont get real personal.

Didn't mean it to sound harsh, just have a natural venom in me that I can't curtail I think. If this thread is going to thrive you've got to stick to 2 lines at the most, we don't want to get into copyright issues you see.

oh right, sorry, i'm new. thanks.

We're all friends here, I didnt delete the thread because I thought it had potential...give a girl a break, I've been on me holidays!

no worries. oh and thanks, grand assault

Radiohead- True Love Waits:

And true love waits
In haunted attics
And true love lives
On lollipops and crisps

Sentimental as it comes, but I always feel love does just survive on sweets and junk food that it can get it hands on until it's done 'waiting'.

Hope I'm not too Emo now...

okay, thats what i'm talking about. thats an interesting choice, ren.

that's some serious teenage angst you got goin' on, huh? j/k. look, i hated high school, and never planned on going to college. but i'm glad i did. it exposed me to all kinds of ideas that i never would have be exposed to otherwise. my advice: do you're best in school and go to college. but cultivate you're own interests; what are you interested in? and remember, the best teachers are not those that use students as an opportunity to duplicate themselves. a really teacher encourages students to push forward intellectually, to go beyond the teacher's own knowledge. but also remember that only a real teacher can help get you ready to go beyond. and never underestimate the importance of self-education.

thanks for replying to the thread though
good luck,

mike

My favourite line is:

Generation sex,
respects,
the rights,
of girls,
who wanna take their clothes off,
as long as we can all watch, thats OK

And Generation sex,
injects,
the sperm,
of worms,
into the eggs of field mice
so you can look real nice, for the boys.

i like it and agree, GemLil, but "we should really all know better."

good luck, ventruss, and congrats and being a free-thinker. i'm not a film expert but i know what i like. what do you think about david lynch?

sorry, i think i'm breaking my own thread. ventruss, you can message me if you want.

I dont want to be alone by green day
"Please don't think I'm crazy
I don't want you to understand
My mind is growing hazy
To hell with your helping hand
Why don't you just leave me alone
This conflict is my own
Keep your sources away from me
That's all"

just how i feel with my parents and my teammates

Charis, I have to admit, while I enjoy Queen, I really don't know much about them. I know they are really talented all around. I'm in a band and our drummer absolutely loves Queen. Maybe I'll check them out. Could you recommend an album?

yeah, I've heard about A Night At The Opera. I'll look into it. thanks.

Yeah, his name was Freddie Mercury and I remember it happening. He was one of the first public people to die an AIDS related death. Kinda of a strange time actually. I remember people being so freaked out about the disease. I mean, afraid of contracting it by shaking someone's hand, stuff like that. Charis might be able to tell you more about him.

Styrofoam Boots/It's All Nice On Ice, Alright (Modest Mouse)

Well, all's not well
But I'm told that it'll all be quite nice
You'll be drowned in boots like Mafia
But your feet will still float like Christ's
And I'll be damned
They were right
I'm drowning upside down
My feet afloat like Christ's
I'm in heaven
Trying to figure out which stack
They're going to stuff us atheists into
When Peter and his monkey laugh
And I laugh with them
I'm not sure what at
They point and say
"We'll keep you in the back
Polishing halos, baking manna and gas"
Well, some guy comes in looking a bit
Like everyone I ever seen
He moves just like Crisco disco
Breath 100% Listerine
He says looking at something else
But directing everything to me
"Every time anyone gets on their knees to pray
Well, it makes my telephone ring
And I'll be damned"
He said, "You were right
No one's running this whole thing"
He had a theory, too
He said that God takes care of himself
God takes care of himself
And you of you
He said that God takes care of himself
God takes care of himself
And you of you
He said that God takes care of himself
God takes care of himself
And you of you
It's all nice on ice, all right
And it's not day
And it's not night
But it's all nice on ice, all right
