Hey hey hey! So this thread is about posting verses (or chorus') from songs you like. Please try to refrain from posting the whole page of lyrics unless there lyrics are only about a verse.

*Addition* Also explain why you like the lyrics, or what about the verse you identify with.

Allowed: All forms of music and poetry (hymns included, children's rhymes, whatever).
Also post links if you want of a Youtube vid of the song, up to you. Don't embed please!


Disallowed: Whole lyric postings (this is just your favourite parts).


Billy Talent - How it Goes

So unscrew my head and rinse it out
Polish my thoughts, turn into doubts
Unscrew my head and rinse it out
Polish my thoughts, turn into doubts
Turn 'em into, turn 'em into doubts

edit: The whole change in the song chords and singing style I really enjoy as well as the subtle undertones of making people think what others want them to think.

Not very much for lyrics in ATLAS, by battles, but dang, is it catchy. It's even my phrase of the day today! (below my sig) anyway, heres the lyrics, because it's really hard to understand what they are saying:

People won't be people when they hear this sound that's been glowing in the dark at the edge of town, people won't be people, no the people won't be people when they hear this sound won't you show me what begins at the edge of town.

This thread is a bit spammy, nevertheless.
My favorite verse from any song is Verse 3 from the ending song in Monty Python and the Life of Brian. Very inspirational, considering how the people singing it are being crucified.

Always Look on The Bright Side

Life's a piece of ****
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

Well I'll revise it.


edit: Revised, made it so you have to say why you like the thing your posting. Should allow to not spam post too much.

Billie Jean(yeah, I still like MJ)chorus

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

I like the chorus because it haves a "rhythm" in it that I like, and also because I like this pop music style

Andre 3000- International players anthem
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlMvO2jUkH8

"So, I typed a text to a girl I used to see/
Sayin that I chose this cutie pie with whom I wanna be/
And I apologize if this message gets you down/
Then I CC'd every girl that I'd see see round town and/
Hate to see y'all frown but I'd rather see her smiling/
Wetness all around me, true, but I'm no island/
Peninsula maybe, makes no sense I know, crazy/
Give up all this p**** cat thats in my lap no lookin back/"


I like these lyrics because its about a dude growing up and getting over messing around with dumb females.

And the rest of the verse is even better just check out the video link its only his verse.

Your Place by Zero 7
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ls1EWqz7htY
"What do you do when you're in your place?
What's going through your worldly mind?
I wish I could see inside of your place
It looks like a better place than mine
Numbers divide, too apt to find."

The reason I like this song so much is because it is a quietly powerful song. It has a slow beat making it the perfect song to relax to and also has what sounds like live instruments in it such as drums, horns, piano as well as integrating the synths (could be harps).

The music video made me love the video even more and funny enough my comment on how I interpreted the video is the top rated comment on the link. Masterfully done video and song.

The verse means a lot to me because I am as inquisitive as the person talking in the song. I want to know everything I can about everything.

tonetone714 :
I watched the vid, was surprised it was a song in the classical sense, but I love a lot of stuff that Andre 3000 does. I especially like his song "My Favourite Things". Too good!

"I feel fine" by The Beatles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_BjqTrGf2g

I'm so glad, that she's my little girl.
She's so glad, she tellin' all the world.

Starting at 0:49, the tune just rocks. =D

i like the verse from the song "ill follow the sun"-The Beatles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Uk_6WWy0RA

my favorite verse from it is this:
"And now the time has come
and, my love, I must go
And though I lose a friend
In the end you will know, oh"

im lucky enough to own the album with it

Here's so lyrics from my favorite rapper Lil Boosie. The name of this song is called The Words of a Real N****.

Money don't make me I'm str8 G,
The Words of a Real N****.
No other woman shall separate we
my n****, The Words of a Real N****.

One of my favorite songs from him but he's in jail for 4 years (he got in jail last September) but they said if he's good in jail, then he'll be in there for 2 years which means he'll be out of there late next year ONLY if he's being good.

My favorite song of all time is 'Paradise by the Dashboard Light'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK-FRac7m58

And my favorite lyrics from it are

We were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
We were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife

There ain't no doubt about it we were doubly blessed
Cuz we were barely seventeen and we were barely dressed.

I gotta know right now before we go any further
do you love me? Will you love me forever? Do you need me?
Let me sleep on it. Baby Baby let me sleep on it.

I swore I'd love you till the end of time
I'll love you till the end of time.
And now I'm waiting for the end of time. To hurry up and arrive.
Cuz if I gotta spend another minute with you I don't think I can really survive.

If you've never heard this song. Give it a listen. It's awesome. I love it because Meatloaf and the woman singing with him have such great voices.

Mine is from The Galaxy Song by Monty Python (actually sung by Eric Idle)

The universe itself keeps on expanding, and expanding, in all of the directions it can whiz
As fast as it can go, the speed of light you know, 12 million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is, so...
Remember when you're feeling very small and insecure, how amazing unlikely is your birth!
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space, because there's bugger all down here on earth!

Give a little dominance
Take a little soul
Try a new experience
Doing what you're told
Go get everything you need until you're dead and cold
Give a little dominance
Take a little soul

From Give a Little by Overkill

Not sure why I like it.

LETS HAVE SOME FUN
THIS BEAT IS SICK
I WANNA TAKE A RIDE
ON YOUR DISCO STICK

In case you all didn't already know...it's Lady Gage from the song Love Games..I heart gaga!

here's one, Give It All by Rise Against.

Breathe, breathe, the air we give,
give, the lives we live,
live, the pulses racing distances,
breathe, so wet my tongue,
give, and break into song,
live, through seas of competition...

So please believe your eyes... a sacrifice, it's not what we had in our minds, I'm coming home tonight, coming home tonight...

(after chorus)

Today, I offer all myself to this, I'm living for my dying wish, I give it all!!!! Now there's a reason, there's a reason to give it all....

Here's one of my fave's:

This is the song that never ends... it goes on and on my friends... someone started singing it not knowing what it was... and they'll continue singing it forever just because... etc. Great song lol

I don't much like Katy Perry but the lyrics from California Gurls I kind of like.



Greetings loved ones
Let's take a journey

[Katy Perry]
I know a place
Where the grass is really greener
Warm, wet and wild
There must be something in the water
Sippin' gin and juice
Laying underneath the palm trees
(Undone)
The boys break their necks
Tryin' to creep a little sneak peek
(At us)

You could travel the world
But nothing comes close to the Golden Coast
Once you party with us
You'll be falling in love
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

California gurls, we're unforgettable
Daisy dukes, bikinis on top
Sun-kissed skin, so hot, will melt your popsicle
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
California gurls, we're undeniable
Fine, fresh, fierce, we got it on lock
West Coast represent, now put your hands up
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Sex on a beach
We get sand in out stilettos
We freak, in my jeep
Snoop Doggy Dogg is on the stereo

My favorite lyrics is from Dream Theater's album Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence.
The 40-minute long title track has 8 parts to it and my favorite is part 6 called Solitary Shell:

He was no different from the rest
Just a healthy, normal boy
mama always did her best
and he was daddy's pride and joy

He learned to walk and talk on time
But never cared much to be held
Insteadily he would decline
Into his solitary shell

As a boy he was considered somewhat odd
Kept to himself most of the time
He would day dream in and out of his own world
But in every other way he was fine

This is basically the same thing as this thread
