Lyrics that touched you and you will never forget

Actually, think it's Stevie Wonder - Billy Squire's was sampled but Wonder wrote the original.
I like the RHCP cover, nevertheless as well as Wonder's original.

I'm pretty sure you're right :)

My memory lapsed.
 
^ am also, partial to that ;)

Lay in to the frying' pan
Now she kisses her own hand
With the fiddle on the fire

I took a leap into the fog
Sleeping' on a hollow log
Now I'm coughing' with no mouth

You can keep yourself inside
But you know you cannot lie
When the devil's your only friend...

"So don't be getting excited when you hear that slamming door cause there will be one less set of footsteps on your door in the morning!"


My father was the first person to introduce me to Jim Crochet - I wasn't too impressed att but it stuck with me, the tenderness, poignancy and melody of this tune.:)

 
^ That's not originally a RHCP song. Think it was Billy Squier?

Anyways, everything Alice in Chains did has stuck with me. The very last line from "Nutshell," though, is basically my life motto.

If I can't be my own, I'd feel better dead.

I love the lyrics:

You were always so far away - I know that pain and I wont run away; like I used to do...
You (I) were (am) always so far away - I know the way (that pain) and (won't) don't you (I) run away; like I (you) used to do...like I (you) used to do (still do)



Magic :)

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize - we're floating in space -
Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry
Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - Oh - Oh - Oh
Do You Realize - that everyone you know
Someday will die -

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round



Just such a beautiful song all the way through. Listening to it on psychedelics is practically guaranteed to make me cry. And I can't help but start singing it.

Oh shit, never realized it was a Stevie song. Listening to it right now... so good! I really like the RHCP version too
 
^Ditto. :)

And what have I got?
Why am I alive anyway?
Yeah, what have I got
Nobody can take away?

Got my hair, got my head
Got my brains, got my ears
Got my eyes, got my nose
Got my mouth, I got my smile
I got my tongue, got my chin
Got my neck, got my boobs
Got my heart, got my soul
Got my back, I got my sex

I got my arms, got my hands
Got my fingers, got my legs
Got my feet, got my toes
Got my liver, got my blood

I've got life, I've got my freedom
I've got the life

I've got the life
And I'm gonna keep it
I've got the life
And nobody's gonna take it away
I've got the life


Nina S., I Got Life.

Fukin' Word.:|

 



I can see the darkness in me and its quite amazing
Life and death is no mystery and I wanna taste it
Step inside of my mind and you'll find
Curiosity, animosity, high philosophy like the prophesied meditation
Reminisce on my wonder years and I wonder yah
Sentiments of my words ain't been so sincere
The sentiment of my nerves that I just persevere
The big thought of fallin' off disappeared to my fate
They say that Heaven's real...



* sincerity is always my objective - one lyric that is a bone of contention - sincerity does not equate to submission imho ;)

There's this zappa song, and there are a few lines that are so appropriate, given the upcoming elections and the general sentiments about washington these days..

Cause what they do, in washington.
They just take care of number one.
And number one aint you.
You aint even number two.
 
^Truth.

Imma going to 'Hatch two birds with one laying' and bring this thread into coagulation with the Faith No More Appreciation Thread and post this. ;)

 
"I Don't Want To Get Over You" - the Magnetic Fields

I don't want to get over you
I guess I could take a sleeping pill
And sleep at will
And not have to go through
What I go through
I guess I should take Prozac, right?
And just smile all night
At somebody new
Somebody not too bright
But sweet and kind
Who would try to get you off my mind
I could leave this agony behind
Which is just what I'd do
If I wanted to
But I don't want to get over you

'Cause I don't want to get over love
I could listen to my therapist
Pretend you don't exist
And not have to dream of
What I dream of
I could listen to all my friends
And go out again
And pretend it's enough
Or I could make a career of being blue
I could dress in black and read Camus
Smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth
Like I was seventeen
That would be a scream
But I don't want to get over you

(lyrics/music by Stephin Merritt)

Lyrics Pink Floyd-Us and Them (The middle part is heard through a sample)

Us (us, us, us, us) and them (them, them, them, them)
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me
And you (you, you, you)
God only knows
It's not what we would choose (choose, choose) to do (to do, to do)
Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
And the general sat
And the lines on the map
Moved from side to side
Black (black, black, black)
And blue (blue, blue)
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up (up, up, up, up)
And down (down, down, down, down)
And in the end it's only round 'n round (round, round, round)
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside

"I mean, they're not gonna kill ya,
So if you give 'em a quick short, sharp, shock,
They won't do it again. Dig it?
I mean he get off lightly, 'cause I would've given him a thrashing
I only hit him once! It was only a difference of opinion, but really
I mean good manners don't cost nothing do they, eh?"

Down (down, down, down, down)
And out (out, out, out, out)
It can't be helped that there's a lot of it about
With (with, with, with), without
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?
Out of the way
It's a busy day
I've got things on my mind
For the want of the price
Of tea and a slice
The old man died
 
"I went to god just to see, and I was lookin at me, saw heaven and hell were lies, when I'm god everyone dies"-Marilyn Manson The Reflecting God
 
"how can this be the land of the free home of the brave, indigenous holocaust and the home of the slave"-Immortal Technique
 
Linkin Park-Keys to the kingdom,somewhere I belong,qwerty gosh...ok I am off topic..uhm Take this all away I'm suffocating,tell me what the fuck is wrong with me.I don't know what to take.thought I was focused but I'm scared,I'm not prepared,I hyper ventilate looking for help somehow somewhere and no one cares.I'm my own worst enemy....Given up Linkin Park!!!!!!!
 
Like a flash of light in an endless night
Life is trapped between two black entities
'Cause when you trust someone, illusion has begun
No way to prepare, impending despair

Did one say so cruel: "Tis better to love than lose"
Ignorance is bliss - wish not knew your kiss
So many times been burned, this lesson goes unlearned
Remember desire only fuels the fire - liar

Betwixed birth and death, every breath regret
I pity the living, envy for the dead
Emotionally stunned, in defense, I'm numb
I'd rather not care than to be aware - be scared

I don't need love

Are a thousand tears worth a single smile?
When you give an inch, will they take a mile?
Longing for the past but dreading the future
If not being used, well then you're a user and a loser

World renowned failure at both death and life
Given nothingness, purgatory blight
To run and hide, a cowardly procedure
Options exhausted, except for anesthesia - anesthesia

I don't feel anything.

-Type O Negative- Anesthesia
