Ok, so you can post ONE verse/chorus up with your favourite lyrics.

I'll start with 'made' by 'Dub Fx' for anyone who hasn't heard of him, check out 'love someone' on YouTube he just beatboxes into a loop pedal to make the track then sings over the top. Incredibly talented!

Made - DubFx

I've got my eyes open wide to the ceiling
I'm lying on my back in the centre of a room
I've got a voice giving me a funny feeling
Its telling me the world's going to end real soon
I've got to get a job otherwise I'm unappealing
Do my little dance for the man and consume
So I let my energy build for the healing
So I can reign down with my super sonic boom
I'm held down by a fog on my way to the top
All clouded and the pressure won't rise
I'm on a mission to the sky with the stars in my eyes
Yet the weather won't compromise
Like a ball on a chain that is strapped to my brain
I'm a prisoner inside of my dreams
So I will appreciate the future of a day
Where the clouds open up and scream
And I sing now....
 
Wouldn't call them my fave but these come to mind whenever anyone mentions lyrics - they're so bad they raise the hairs on your neck with embarrasment:


It was a fearful night of December 8th
He was returning home from the studio late
He had perceptively known that it wouldn't be nice
Because in 1980, he paid the price
John Lennon died
With a Smith and Wesson 38
John Lennon's life was no longer a debate
He should have stayed at home
He should have never cared
The man who took his life declared:
He said, "I just shot John Lennon,
I just shot John Lennon"
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight
What a sad and sorry and sickening night.

Cranberries - I Just Shot John Lennon
 
Tom Waits - Hold On.


They hung a sign up in our town
"If you live it up, you won't live it down"
So she left Monte Rio, son
Just like a bullet leaves a gun
With her charcoal eyes and Monroe hips
She went and took that California trip
Oh, the moon was gold, her hair like wind
Said, 'Don't look back, just come on, Jim'

Oh, you got to hold on, hold on
You gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here
You gotta hold on

Well, he gave her a dimestore watch
And a ring made from a spoon
Everyone's looking for someone to blame

When you share my bed, you share my name
Well, go ahead and call the cops
You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops
She said, 'Baby, I still love you'
Sometimes there's nothin' left to do

Oh, but you got to hold on, hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on
And take my hand, I'm standing right here
You gotta hold on

One day I'll marry to this song.
 
Something I still find truly inspirational. From "Ring the Bells" by James:
When you let me fall
Grew my own wings
Now I'm as tall as the sky
When you let me drown
Grew gills and fins
Now I'm as deep as the sea
When you let me die
My spirit's free
There's nothing challenging me
Click to expand...
Look out for a live version -- James never sounded right in a studio. (Better in a Birmingham sports hall near the A38 ..... And assorted other venues in the West Midlands circa 1991)
 
And when your deepest thoughts are broken,
Keep on dreaming boy, cause when you stop dreamin'
it's time to die.
And as we all play parts of tomorrow,
Some ways will work and other ways we'll play.
But I know we all can't stay here forever,
So I want to write my words on the face of today.
And then they'll paint it
And oh as I fade away,
They'll all look at me and they'll say,
Hey look at him and where he is these days.
When life is hard, you have to change.

Great song by Blind Melon called 'Change'
 
Child Psychology by Black Box Recorder:


There's only one line in this song's chorus (which I don't want to spoil in text, watch the vid!)



Manages to get more of a point across in one line most songs ever do, with a sentiment that sounds honest.

It's just very refreshing.

I take 7 MC's put 'em in a line
And add 7 more brothers who think they can rhyme
Well, it'll take 7 more before I go for mine
Now that's 21 MC's ate up at the same time
 
Brains for dinner
Brains for lunch
Brains for breakfast
Brains for brunch
Brains at every single meal
Why can't we have some guts?

Brains are all we ever get
In this rotten fuckin' place
Brains are all we ever get
Why can't we have a change of pace?

Brains for dinner
Brains for lunch
Brains for breakfast
Brains for brunch
Brains at every single meal
Why can't we have some guts?
Why can't have some guts?
Why can't we have some fucking rotten guts?
 
Bob Dylan "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue"

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
This sky, too, is folding under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home
Your empty handed armies, are all going home
Your lover who just walked out the door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
Strike another match, go start a new
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

If one day my BL Location changes to 'it's all over now, Baby Blue' it'll either be because ive had enough of life or that ive had enough of the drugs scene. I cant see either happening any time soon.
 
Sitting here in Queens
Eating refried beans
We're in all the magazines
Gulpin' down Thorazines

We ain't got no friends
Our troubles never end
No Christmas cards to send
Daddy likes men
 
well they are the 2 american bands i know you like, i believe Felt and killing joke are Britsish, i cant currently remember some of the other bands you like. Can i nominate another choice ?

Bruce Springsteen Racing In The Street

I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396
Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor
She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot
Outside the Seven-Eleven store
Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch
And he rides with me from town to town
We only run for the money got no strings attached
We shut `em up and then we shut `em down
Tonight tonight the strip's just right
I wanna blow `em off in my first heat
Summer's here and the time is right
We're goin' racin' in the street
We take all the action we can meet
And we cover all the northeast state
When the strip shuts down we run `em in the street
From the fire roads to the interstate

Some guys they just give up living
And start dying little by little piece by piece
Some guys come home from work and wash up
Then go racin' in the street
Tonight tonight the strip's just right
I wanna blow `em all out of their seats
Calling out around the world
We're going racin' in the street

I met her on the strip three years ago
In a Camaro with this dude from L.A.
I blew that Camaro off my back and drove that little girl away
But now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyes
And she cries herself to sleep at night
When I come home the house is dark
She sighs "Baby did you make it all right"
She sits on the porch of her daddy's house
But all her pretty dreams are torn
She stares off alone into the night
With the eyes of one who hates for just being born
For all the shut-down strangers and hot rod angels
Rumbling through this promised land
Tonight my baby and me we're gonna ride to the sea
And wash these sins off our hands
Tonight tonight the highway's bright
Out of our way mister you best keep
`Cause summer's here and the time is right
We're goin' racin' in the street

i particularly like the last 4 lines, out of our way mister you best keep, i fuckin love that, and know exactly what he means. When you're going racing in the streets.

You know you're in sensitive mood, when you're listening to Avril Lavigne love songs. =D

"Damn, damn, damn
What I'd do to have you here, here, here
I wish you were here
Damn, damn, damn
What I'd do to have you near, near, near
I wish you were here"

"No, I don't want to let go
I just wanna let you know
That I never wanna let go"

- Avril Lavigne Wish You Were Here
