Hi all. Most music in the charts (in england anyway)is rubbish at the moment, (yes that is a teenager saying that!) but there are some good ones, so i thought it would be interesting to see other people's favouriote lyrics to songs.

some of mine are:

Everybody hurts take comfort in your friends Don't throw your hand,If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone- Everybody hurts (only heard of it 'cos G4 sang it on the Xfactor and i have their album)

"You are beautiful no matter what they say, words can't bring us down, so don't you bring me down today."- Chirstina Aguleria, Beautiful.

"Anyone of us, anyone can hurt someone they love, hearts will break" Anyone of us

"and down the waterfall wherever it may take me, i know that life won't break me, when it comes to fall, she won't forsake me, I'm loving angels instead" - Angels robbie williams.

"Try as i may i can never explain, what i hear when you don't say a thing"- Ronan Keating- when you say nothing at all.

Ok, there are a few. If anyone wnats me to send them the rest of the lyrics, PM me and i'll do my best.

What other songs spoke out to you?

When the smoke is going down from Scorpions. Being a rock enthusiast, this song epitomizes a bands feeling when they go live!


Another song I like very much is Back in Black of AC/DC, so is Infinite Dreams by Iron Maiden. Dream On from Aerosmith.

There are quite a few, I shall keep this updated

Well my theme songs are: B*tch by Meredith Brooks and Unwell by Matchbox 20, but I love the words to Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson...

Trying hard to reach out
But when I'd try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray (I would pray)
I could breakaway

...

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway

[Yosei]

Hello
This is devo
We would like to say
Things go both ways
New ideas stupid moves
Nightmares or dreams come true
Mucho work minus play
Tension mounts in a twisted face
Dark clouds in the crystal ball
Tension mounts in a foreign place
The screw turns someone calls
Time out for fun!
So you're living under the gun
Circumstances have you on the run
A doctor frowns you feel bad
Take this you've just been had!
Don't you lose it now listen to us
Everything's going to be all right
Take a break take some time
Everything's going to be all right
Don't you lose it remember to take
Time out for fun!
So your life has just begun
Somebody else is saying that it's done
Nurses whisper others grin
Something's funny at your expense again


"Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom from choice
Is what you want"


I really think Devo must be one of the world's most underrated bands...

[lulaboo]

im not real clear on the lyrics just yet but Matchbox twentys' AWAY FROM THE SUN
really speaks out loud to me

another that really hits me (in regards to recent events in my life)

Pushing Me Away--Linkin Park Hybrid Theory
(bracketed items are the lyrics from Reanimation lp song P5HNG ME A*WY)

IVE LIED TO YOU
THE SAME WAY THAT I ALWAYS DO
THIS IS THE LAST SMILE
THAT I'LL FAKE FOR THE SAKE OF BEING WITH YOU

-CHORUS-
everything falls apart even the people who never frown eventually break down
THE SACRIFICE OF HIDING IN A LIE
everything has to end youll soon find were out of time left to watch it all unwind
THE SACRIFICE IS NEVER KNOWING
WHY I NEVER WALKED AWAY (WHY I STAYED WITH YOU)
WHY I PLAYED MYSELF THIS WAY (JUST PUSH AWAY NO MATTER WHAT YOU SEE)
NOW I SEE YOURE TESTING ME PUSHES ME AWAY (YOURE STILL SO BLIND TO ME)

IVE TRIED LIKE YOU
TO DO EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO
THIS IS THE LAST TIME
I'LL TAKE THE BLAME FOR THE SAKE OF BEING WITH YOU

-CHORUS-

(TELLING YOU IS THE ONLY CHANCE FOR ME
THERES NOTHING BUT TO TURN AND FACE YOU

WHEN I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES THERES NOTHING LEFT TO SEE
NOTHING BUT MY OWN MISTAKES STARING BACK AT ME
ASKING WHY)

For personal reasons of having to admit more things to myself than i wanted to

Breaking the Habit Linkin Park

Memories consume like opening the wounds
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume i'm safe here in my room
Unless i try to start again

I dont want to be the one
the battles always choose
Cuz inside i realize
that i'm the one confused

I dont know whats worth fighting for or why i have to scream
I dont know why i instigate and say what i dont mean
I dont know how i got this way i know its not allright
so i'm breaking the habit tonight

Clutching my cure i tightly lock the door
and try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more than anytime before
I had no options left again

I dont want to be the one
the battles always choose
cuz inside i realize
that im the one confused

I dont know whats worth fighting for or why i have to scream
I dont know why i instigate and say what i dont mean
i dont know how i got this way ill never be allright
so im breaking the habit tonight

I'll paint it on the walls
cuz i'm the one at fault
ill never fight again
and this is how it ends

i dont know whats worth fighting for or why i have to scream
but now i have some clarity to show you what i mean
i dont know how i got this way ill never be allright
but im breaking the habit tonight


and last but not least because i can smile when ive got this one goin on

Im not okay (i promise) My Chemical Romance

WELL IF YOU WANTED HONESTY THATS ALL YOU HAD TO SAY
I NEVER WANT TO LET YOU DOWN OR HAVE YOU GO
ITS BETTER OFF THIS WAY
FOR ALL THE DIRTY LOOKS THE PHOTOGRAPHS YOUR BOYFRIEND TOOK
REMEMBER WHEN YOU BROKE YOUR FOOT
FROM JUMPING OUT THE SECOND FLOOR

I'M NOT OKAY
IM NOT OKAY
IM NOT OKAY
YOU WEAR ME OUT

WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO SHOW YOU THAT ITS NOT THE LIFE IT SEEMS
IVE TOLD YOU TIME AND TIME AGAIN
YOU SING THE WORDS BUT STILL DONT KNOW WHAT IT MEANS
TO BE A JOKE AND LOOKANOTHER LINE WITHOUT A HOOK
I HELD YOU CLOSE AND WE BOTH SHOOK
FOR THE LAST TIME TAKE A GOOD LOOK

CHORUS

FORGET BOUT THOSE DIRTY LOOKS
THE PHOTOGRAPHS YOUR BOYFRIEND TOOK
YOU SAID YOU READ ME LIKE A BOOK
WITH THE PAGES ALL TORN AND FRAYED

I'M OKAY
IM OKAY
IM OKAY NOW
WERE YOU REALLY LISTENING CUZ IM TELLING YOU THE TRUTH
I MEAN IT
IM OKAY

TRUST ME

IM NOT OKAY
IM NOT OKAY
WELL IM NOT OKAY IM NOT O-FING-KAY
IM NOT OKAY
IM NOT OKAY

So understand
Don’t waste your time always
Searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise you’re living in the golden years

MOTLEY CRUE--You're all i need

The blade of my knife
faced away from your heart
Those last few nights
it turned and sliced you apart

This love that i tell
Now feels lonely as hell
From this padded prison cell

So many times
i said you'd only be mine
i gave my blood and my tears
and loved you cyanide
when you took my lips
i took your breath
sometimes love is better of dead

You're all i need
Make you only mine
i loved you so i set you free
i had to take your life
You're all i need, you're all i need
And i loved you so, but you didn't love me

Laid out cold
now were both alone
But killin' you
helped me keep you at home
i guess it was bad
cause love can be sad
But we finally made the news

Tied up smiling
i thought you were happy
never opened your eyes
i thought you were napping
i got so munch to learn
about love in this world
but we finally made the news

You're all i need make you only mine
i loved you so, so i put you to sleep

[Axman]

Most times you can't hear them talk
other times you can
it's that same old cliche
"Is that a woman or a man?"
you always seem out-numbered
you don't dare make a stand

When you walk into a restaurant
strung out from the road
you can feel the eyes upon you
as you're shaking off the cold
you pretend it doesn't bother you
but you just want to explode

Here I am
on road again
here I am
up on the stage
there I go
playing star again
here I go
turn the page

Going Down To Die

and I know
that it's true
all the fire
has burned thru
well you know I've played
so hard
and the light
grows so dim
and my time's getting slim
all the words
just don't mean much

and I know I'm saying
goodbye
and I know that I'm going
down
to die

in my heart
there's a wind
and it swirls up a dim
it's so loud
it drowns my mind
till the coin that I pass
to the ferryman's grasp
let's me leave
my pain
behind

so I part
and I'm oh so cold
and I hope to release
my heart
better leave
while my song still calls
it's the truth
that I'm going
down
to die

If you can't be with the one you love,
love the one you're with!

There's somethin' wrong with the world today
I don't know what it is
Something's wrong with our eyes

We're seeing things in a different way
And God knows it ain't His
It sure ain't no surprise

If you can judge a wise man
By the color of his skin
Then mister you're a better man that I

We're livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge

Tell me what you think about your sit-u-a-tion
Complication - aggravation
Is getting to you

If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
Even if it wasn't would you still come crawlin'
Back again?
I bet you would my friend
Again & again & again & again & again

Tell me what you think about your sit-u-a-tion
Complication - aggravation
Is getting to you

If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
Even if it was would would you still come crawlin'
Back again?
I bet you would my friend
Again & again & again & again

There's something right with the world today
And everybody knows it's wrong
But we can tell 'em no or we could let it go
But I would rather be a hanging on



a great song by a legendary band!

UNDER PRESSURE - QUEEN

Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure - that burns a building
down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets
She been around
Kicked my brains round the floor
These are the days it rains but it never pours
People on streets
People on streets
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow - high higher
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed
and torn
Why - Ooooh
Insanity laughs under pressure we're
cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more
chance
Why can't we give love
Give love give love give love give love
Give love give love give love
Love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves

This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure

Anything by Sarah McLachlan...here's one of my favorites


Sad Clown (from the album "Touch")
A time so haunting moonlight in the mist
Lay me down Beside you oh as long as it lasts
From the river comes a Figure drifting slowly by
Trailing long the water, leaving softer than a sigh
Softer than a sigh
All the feelings they remain like a still life
A dying swan song forever lost your cries of glory
The rain is falling down like silence in a shroud
When All that really matters left to lose
I'm all alone
I'm all alone
All the feelings they remain like a still life
A dying swan song forever lost your cries of glory
Walking from the shadows, a fear of sadness grows
Your heart is in your hand your knowing looks
Our Time is gone
My time is gone
Swan's dying song...

[angelinayorke]

Master of Puppets~ Metallica is a big one for me, too....
End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your death's construction

Taste me, you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master

Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings, yeah
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Hell Yeah!

Needlework the way, never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror

Taste me you will see
More that's all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master

Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings, yeah
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master

(Instrumental Break)

Master, master
Where's those dreams that I've been after?
Master, master
You promised only lies
Laughter, laughter
All I hear and see is laughter
Laughter, laughter
Laughing at my cries

FIX ME, BABY!

(solo)

Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Never-ending maze, drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season

I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you, too

Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master

Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams, baby
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master

I'm a fan of Psychological Metal!!! Like Metallica's "Sad But True" or Megadeth's "Sweating Bullets"!!! Those are classic examples of Schizophrenia!
