Fav Lyric : Thu Mar 28, 2013 11:13 am  

Whats everyones fav lyric?

Sure the response will be pretty diverse!

Mine.. too many to mention

Maybe that it would do me good
If I believed there were a god
Cut in the starry firmament
But as it is that's just a lie
And I'm here eating up the boredom
On an island of cement
Give me your ecstasy I'll feel it
Open window and I'll steal it
Baby like it's heaven sent

This ain't no love that's guiding me

... just to kick it off

[John_D]

Sonic Boom Six - Monkey See, Monkey Do:

Back in the stone age people worshipped the Sun
After 20 thousand years you might have thought that we'd have moved on
From the Star to the Daily Mail its just like
scapegoat fiction, Mein Kamph with pictures
They think that immigrants all hang around in mobs
Outside our work places and wait to steal our jobs
Honky please, Go trim your bonsai trees
I'd better give you these for brain disease
Its such an irony that when you're unwell
You ask for patient medication off of Dr Patel - kn'b head

Now this is a toughie. I would immediately go to The Decemberists, and perhaps the entirety of 'The Mariner's Revenge Song'. however I'll limit this to a small part from 'Los Angeles, I'm Yours'

"How I abhor this place
Its sweet and bitter taste
Has left me wretched, retching on all fours
Los Angeles, I’m yours"

Stunned by JOE's command of its native tongue, a gleaming model XQJ-37 nuclear powered Pan-Sexual Roto-Plooker named SY BORG (previously thought to be the son of the lady who called the Police on cut two, side I), spindles over to JOE and says..

Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all
From where I'm sitting, rain
Falling against the lonely tenement
Has set my mind to wander
Into the windows of my lovers
They never know unless I write
"This is no declaration, I just thought I'd let you know goodbye"
Said the hero in the story
"It is mightier than swords
I could kill you sure
But I could only make you cry with these words"
