Hm, so as the title says, what are your favorite song lyrics? (No baddies please)

Here's one of mine...

I am the mystery
And i am the bringer of moonless night
I bear the wisdom arcane
I, harbinger from the burrowed isle

Once you break forth
Hearken the flap of my wings

I haunt your fears
Though you don't know of my duty
To lead your path
Because i'll take you home to rest
In my black wings enfolding you

I am the icon sublime
The guide on the voyage clandestine
I sing the verses bewailed
I, torch of the radiant way

This is Quoth The Raven by Eluveitie

Such a beautiful song.w

"I'm not a businessman ,I'm a business man. Jay-Z

Off the top of my head.

Edit:"Right Above It"-Lil Wayne and Drake, the entire song is just amazing.

Remember that quoting copyrighted lyrics in full is a breach of "fair use". Only quote what is necessary to convey your point.

That said, I love the sincerity in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3Yl4ehzX-o.

"I got a job, but it don't pay.
I need new clothes.
I need somewhere to stay.

But without all of these things I can do.
But without your love, I wont make it through.

But you don't understand my point of view.
I suppose there's nothing I can do.

You didn't stand by me."

He stands like a statue,
Becomes part of the machine.
Feeling all the bumpers
Always playing clean.
He plays by intuition,
The digit counters fall.
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pin ball !

Even on my favourite table
He can beat my best.
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest.
He's got crazy flipper fingers
Never seen him fall...
That deaf dumb and blind kind
Sure plays a mean pin ball.!!!!!

Pinball wizard, The Who

Someone has "Right in two" sigged so I will let them have that one so mine would be.

~~"Theres something kinda sad about the way that things have come to be, desensitized to everything, what became of subtlety."~~

I like a few of of Maynards lyrics actually, just not Puscifer.

I forgot about these lyrics
"Part vampire
Part warrior
Carnivore and Voyeur
Stare at the transmitter
Sing to the death rattle"

Vicarious is probabally my favorite tool song.

And so begins, begins our odyssey
And we begin, begin our odyssey
And so begins, begins our odyssey

The aria is bleeding and the boyish voice is leaving
I've been an evil tenor, I filled the innocents' doe eyes with glue
You're my only softness, you're my only pleasure, it's true
And I never want to be your little friend, the abject failure

And so begins, begins our odyssey
And we begin, begin our odyssey
And so begins, begins our odyssey

The chrysalis is breaking and the super ego's waking
I've been a gloomy Petrarch with a quill as weepy as Dido
You're my mousy aesthete, you're my bouyant cherub, it's true
And I never want to be your little friend, the abject failure

It is "So Begins Our Alabee" by Of Montreal.

From They Want Efx (Das Efx):

I takes my froot loops with two scoops, and make it double decker,
Oh Vince, the baby, come to Papa Duke,
A babaloo, ooh, a babaloo, boogedy-boo,
I went from Gucci to Stussy, to fliggedy-flam a groupie,
To Zsa Zsa, to yibbedy yabba-dabba hoochie koochie...

or

From Ch-Check It Out (Beastie Boys):
Now hey baby bubba, now what's the deal?
I didn't know you go for that mass appeal.
Some call it salugi,
Some hot potato,
I stole your mic but you won't see it later.
Cause I work magic like a magician,
I add up like a mathematician,
I'm a bank cashier,
engineer,
I wear cotton, but I don't wear Sheer...

So hard to choose.

Echoes by Set Your Goals

A quick bullet: a tough one to dodge and no one ever does
It cuts fast and deep (keeps you from sleep)
And you just have to let it bleed
I know the pain, it's all to familiar
If I could sing words to help, you know I would
And they would end the pain
But you will have to let this make you stronger
It's difficult to overcome

The name of a ghost still dancing on our tongues
So bittersweet (these memories)
I wish they could have taken me
Struggle through tough times
And destroy all your fears

Don’t let this win over you

Soon you will end the pain
And you will say that it did make you stronger
This is how you overcome
(these voices fade away as the memory did)
And we’ve all heard it sung
And we really don't know what we got till it's gone
And then we want it back so much
Nobody ever warned you…

Breathe in, take it in deep
Cross your heart, it's yours for you to keep
Wishful: I guess I never was
And I will breathe in, take it in deep
Cross your heart, it's yours for you to keep
Wishful: I guess I never was
I am looking out now, death can't change us

(And I will keep, pieces of you alive in me.)
I am looking up now, death can’t change us

I am looking up now, death can’t change us
I will, stand alone
I will, learn from this, I will
I will, mourn the loss and I will be stronger

Something so many people can relate to and I love it with a passion

*clears throat*
Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you.
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

I just went there...

As always, the monologue from Godspeed You! Black Emperor's The Dead Flag Blues, if one considers the lines to be lyrics:

The car is on fire, and there's no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
And a dark wind blows

The government is corrupt
And we're on so many drugs
With the radio on and the curtains drawn

We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death

The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles

It went like this:

The buildings tumbled in on themselves
Mothers clutching babies
Picked through the rubble
And pulled out their hair

The skyline was beautiful on fire
All twisted metal stretching upwards
Everything washed in a thin orange haze

I said, "Kiss me, you're beautiful -
These are truly the last days"

You grabbed my hand
And we fell into it
Like a daydream
Or a fever

We woke up one morning and fell a little further down
For sure it's the valley of death

I open up my wallet
And it's full of blood

Repeating Yesterday by As I Lay Dying

This is what i am, this is what i have become
Repeating yesterday, drain me of my very essence
To form again what lasts
This is what i am, this is what i have become
Repeating yesterday, drain me of my very essence
This is what i am, this is what i have become
What is love without (what is love) sacrifice
What is love without (sacrifice)
My tears hold no weight
If my commitment, is only failure
Is only (failure)
Repeat yesterday
Each day i am born again to be (again to be)
A child in the eyes of love
Repeating yesterday, drain me of my very essence
To form again what lasts

The Only Constant is Change by As I Lay Dying

The only constant is change. The only constant is change.
The human heart is born without legs, sliding back and forth,
and never once does it truly rest, unless accompanied by death... Sliding back and forth.
Even the strongest remnants of history, they have begun to crumble against time.
Sliding back and forth.
The only constant is change. Nothing remains the same.
The only constant is change. There's only growth or decay.
Unvarying scenes only found in pictures can never breathe life.
For nowhere else does level ground exist, unless it has been captured by a flash of steady light.
Sliding back and forth (back and forth).
The only constant is change. Uncertainty awaits.
The only constant is change. There's only growth or decay... or decay.
The only constant is change...
There is nothing that stays the same, from the foundation of our lives.
There is nothing that stays the same. There is nothing to erase time...
The only constant is change. Nothing remains the same.
The only constant is change. There's only growth or decay.
The only constant is change (change). The only constant is change.

Reclamation by Lamb of God

Humanity's a failed experiment
Walking the path to extinction
Spinning it's wheels endlessly
Grease them with oil and uranium
The earth will shake
and the waters will rise
The elements reclaim what was taken

The skyline is set ablaze with regret
Ashes cover a falling silhouette
The city will reap what it's sewn and ignite
Watching as the city burns tonight

Blindly consuming mass manufactured faith
Mankind is a festering parasite
Relentlessly draining it's host dry
Nailing belief to a cross of genocide
The elements reclaim what was taken

The skyline is set ablaze with regret
Ashes cover a falling silhouette
The city will reap what it's sewn and ignite
Watching as the city burns tonight

Only after the last tree's cut
And the last river poisoned
Only after the last fish is caught
Will you find that money cannot be eaten

And everything becomes irrelevant
As the sky tears open
Fire rains down,
the fourth world comes to an end
Push the button light the match
feel the fault lines detach
Crosshairs in the evening light
I sit and watch the city burn tonight

The city burns tonight

I've been in such a [censored] mood lately...

The last time I saw you, you turned away.
I couldn't see you with the sun shining in my eyes.
I said, 'Hello,' but you kept on walking.
I'm going deaf from the sound of the freeway.

The last time I saw you, you turned away.
I couldn't hear you with your voice ringing in my ears.
Do you remember where we used to sleep at night?
I couldn't feel you. You're always so far away.

The first time I saw you, you turned away.
I couldn't see you with the smoke getting in my eyes.
I said, 'Hello,' but you kept on walking.
I'm going deaf from the sound of the D.J.

The first time I saw you, you turned away.
I couldn't hear you with the noise ringing in my ears.
Do you remember where we used to sleep at night?
I couldn't feel you. You're always so far away.

There's a lot of truth in this one:

"Once in a Lifetime", Talking Heads

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful
wife
And you may ask yourself-Well...How did I get here?

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...

Water dissolving...and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right?...Am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
MY GOD!...WHAT HAVE I DONE?

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...

It's the final countdown.

Spoiler

Well you were spittin' venom at most everyone you know
If you truly knew the gravity you'd know which way to go

well let drop
let it all drop
let it all drop
let it all fall off

My ears were pressing firmly right against your mouth to hear,
When you tried to spit the venom out your words were not so clear
Now drop.
[guitar]

Spoiler

Cut to the brain
This ain't no game
I'll show no shame
I'll birth this blame
I'm twisted Cain
I'll twist the gain
I'll push the blade as plain as day

Known to what these sayers say
Known to what these doers do
We shoot were who and you know where
We's about to take it there

We's about to make it clear
We happy or we lonesome
The lone jump
The beat heart
From start to finish

Ten spoons of spinach
The soul and the spillage
The cup that runneth over
Return of the "Oh God!"

The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling
Way down in the valley tonight
There's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye
And a blade shining oh so bright
There's evil in the air and there's thunder in the sky
And a killer's on the bloodshot streets
Oh and down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising
Oh I swear I saw a young boy
Down in the gutter
He was starting to foam in the heat

Oh Baby, you're the only thing in this whole world
That's pure and good and right
And wherever you are and wherever you go
There's always gonna be some light
But I gotta get out
I gotta break it out now
Before the final crack of dawn
So we gotta make the most of our one night together
When it's over you know
We'll both be so alone

Like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone when the morning comes
When the night is over
Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone gone gone
Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes
But when the day is done
And the sun goes down
And moonlight's shining through
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
I'll come crawling on back to you

I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram
On a silver black phantom bike
When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry
And we're all about to see the light
Nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole
Everything is stunted and lost
And nothing really rocks
And nothing really rolls
And nothing's ever worth the cost

And I know that I'm damned if I never get out
And maybe I'm damned if I do
But with every other beat I got left in my heart
You know I'd rather be damned with you
Well, If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
Dancing through the night with you
If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
Gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
Gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
Dancing through the night
Dancing through the night
Dancing through the night with you

Oh Baby, you're the only thing in this whole world
That's pure and good and right
And wherever you are and wherever you go
There's always gonna be some light
But I gotta get out
I gotta break it out now
Before the final crack of dawn
So we gotta make the most of our one night together
When it's over you know
We'll both be so alone

Like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone when the morning comes
When the night is over
Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone gone gone
Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes
But when the day is done
And the sun goes down
And moonlight's shining through
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
I'll come crawling on back to you
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
I'll come crawling on back to you

I can see myself tearing up the road
Faster than any other boy has ever gone
And my skin is raw but my soul is ripe
And no one's gonna stop me now
I gotta make my escape
But I can't stop thinking of you
And I never see the sudden curve until it's way too late
And I never see the sudden curve till it's way too late

Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun
Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning' bike
And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell
And the last thing I see is my heart
Still beating
Oh breaking out of my body
And flying away
Like a bat out of hell
Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun
Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike
And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell
And the last thing I see is my heart
Still beating
Still beating
Oh breaking out of my body and flying away
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell
