Song quotes

This is very simple, post your favourite lines from your favourite songs.

Evanescene-Everybodys fool:

More lies about a world that never was and never will be
have you no shame don't you see me


Look! Here she comes now,
Bow down and stare in wonder
oh! how we love you!

Hm, this is hard. I don't really have one favourite song but I do like the lyrics from P!nk's "Dear Mr. President",

What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away?
What kind of father would hate his own daughter if she were gay?

Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin. Classic.

And as we wind on down the road, our shadows taller than our soul, there walks a lady we all know, who shines white light and wants to show...how ev’rything still turns to gold. And if you listen very hard, the tune will come to you at last, when all are one and one is all... To be a rock and not to roll.


There's also another favourite from U2's Acrobat...

You can dream, so dream out loud, and don't let the b******s grind you down.


Ooh, and one final one from Honest Mistake - Bravery, which is basically how I feel all of the time...

Sometimes I forget that I'm still awake, I f*** up and say these things out loud


I am no longer known to my friends as butterfingers...buttermouth is now my in-nickname XD

Oooh, I have a whole book full of favorite quotes! I'll pick a couple from songs:

Ben Folds wrote:I do the best imitation of myself.


Ani DiFranco wrote:her hair bears silent witness
to the passing of time
tattoos like milke markers
map the distance she has come


Smashing Pumpkins wrote:i was born whole
fractured, divided, shattered into a billion fragments
a million piece puzzle
a mimllion piece jigsaw puzzle with not this, and no that...


and one more from Ani:

Ani DiFranco wrote:we're all rehearsing
for the presidency
i always wanted
to be
commander-in-chief
of my one
woman
army


I might add some more later!

My favorite songs don't have quotes.

The song by Daft Punk, Better Faster Stonger is ok, the lyrics are kind of hard to pin down because there is so much variation, but it's not my favorite song.

Too many :)

At random:

Queen:

"So touch my tears with your lips, touch my world with your finger tips
And we can have forever and we can love forever"

"you can reduce me to tears with a single sigh, every breath that you take, every sound that you make, is a whisper to my ears"


Cradle of Filth:
"I pace alone in a place for the dead overcome by woe, and here I've grown so fond of dread that I swear it's heaven.... Graveside, I crave please save me from this hell I know"

"My heart was a wardrum beat by jugular cults in eerie jungle vaults. When number thirteen fell in my lap, lips and skin like a sin, a venus-mantrap. My appetite whetted, storm crows wheeled at the blurred edges of reason till I was fulfilled. Hors d' oeuvres eaten I tucked her in to a grave coffin fit for the Queen of spades. She went out like the light in my mind"

Rammstein:

"Sie ist der hellste Stern von allen...vier... und wird nie vom Himmel fallen"

"Willst du dich von etwas trennen, dan mußt du es verbrennen, willst du es nie wieder sehen... Lass es schwimmen in Benzin"

"Stein um Stein mauer ich dich ein, Stein um Stein, Ich werde immer bei dir sein, ich werde immer bei dir sein. Welch ein klopfen, welch ein hämmern draussen fängt es an zu dämmern, alle Nägel stegen stramm, wenn ich sie in dein Leibholtz ramm...stein"

"Er hatt die Augen auf gemacht, doch er ist nicht aufgewacht... nichts ist für dich, nichts war für dich, nichts bleibt für dich, für immer"

System of a Down:
"Why can't you see that you are that you are my child, why don't you know that you are my mind, tell everyone in the world that I'm you, take this promiss to the end of you"

"You depend on our protection, yet you feed us lies from the tablecloth"

Falco:

"Die ganze Welt dreht sich um mich, denn ich bin nur ein Egoist, der Mensch der mir am nächsten bin ich, ich bin ein egoist"

"Jeanny, quit living on dreams, Jeanny, life is not what it seems, such a lonely little girl in a cold cold world, there's someone who needs you. Jeanny, quit living on dreams, Jeanny, life is not what it seems, you're lost in the night don't want to struggle and fight... there's someone who needs you"

A-hah:
"So needless to say, I'm odds and ends, but that's me, stumbling away, slowly learning that life is okay. Say after me, It's no better to be safe than sorry"

The servant:
"Because, there's an orchestra in me, playing endlessly, I even hear it now, they play in the devil's key, an endless ymphony, I even hear it now"

De Poema's:
"Mijn hart is niet van steen, een geval van zuiver hout, 't was het beste dat ik vinden kon, toen iemand wegging met het goud. Mijn hart is van het hardste hout, maar het buigt nog als het moet, maar niet te ver en rustig aan, ik weet nog niet echt wat het doet"

FF VII
"Estuas interius ira vehementi, Sepiroth... Sors immanis et innanis"

And then there's so much more, but I fear that really would be stretching the board...
