Favorite Lyrics of Songs

[ccoccocats]

Thought to start a thread on favorite lyrics to parts of songs we remember/know. Whether or not you want to add the artist's name, is up to you. There's so many that I love but I'll start with these:

By: Grateful Dead

"Little boy sit on the corner and cry
Big man come and ask him why?
He say "I can't do what the big boys do"
Man sat down and he cried too"

By: Grateful Dead

"Looking at You, Looking at Me"

 

[wellingtoncats]

Well it's my favourite song - Elvis Presley - Love Me

Treat me like a fool,
Treat me mean and cruel,
But love me.

Wring my faithful heart,
Tear it all apart,
But love me.

If you ever go,
Darling, I'll be oh so lonely
I'll be sad and blue,
Crying over you, dear only.

I would beg and steal
Just to feel your heart
Beatin' close to mine

Well, if you ever go,
Darling, I'll be oh so lonely
I'll be sad and blue,
Crying over you, dear only.

I would beg and steal
Just to feel your heart
Beatin' close to mine

Well, if you ever go,
Darling, I'll be oh so lonely
Beggin' on knees,
All I ask is please, please love me
Oh yeah

I just love it!

Sung by R Kelly, a line from "Religious Love"

"Dont forget to remember me."

Here is another..."Army of Me", by Bjork...

"Stand Up, You've got to manage.
I wont sypathize anymore...

And if you complain once more, you'll meet an army of me.

Your alright. There's nothing wrong.
Self sufficience PLEASE!
And get to work!

And if you complain once more, you'll meet an army of me.

Your on your own now..we wont save you...
your rescue squad is too exhausted!

And if you complain once more, you'll meet an army of me...

Wow, music is a huge part of my life... Usually I listen to songs and I relate them thing situations in my life or people... Lately these are the songs that I relate to the people close to me, My father, Adrian, and my ex...

My father:
Numb by Linkin Park:
*Cant u see that u're smotherin me? Holdin' 2 tightly afraid 2 lose control
Cuz everything that u thought I would be has fallen apart right in front of u!
Every step that I take is another mistake 2 u & every second I waste is more than I can take!

I've become so numb I cant feel you there... become so tired, so much more aware... I'm becoming this... All I want to do is be more like me and be less like you...*

Perfect by Simple Plan
*Hey Dad, look at me... Think back and talk to me... Did I grow up according to plan? And do you think I'm wasting my time doing things I wanna do?
But it hurts when you disapprove all along...

And now I try hard to make it.. I just wanna make you proud... I'm never gonna be good enough for you... Can't pretend that I'm alright... and you can't change me...
.
.
.
Nothing's gonna change the things that you said... Nothing's gonna make this right again... Please don't turn your back... I can't believe it's hard just to talk to you... But you don't understand...

'Cuz we lost it all... Nothing lasts forever... I'm sorry, I can't be perfect...
Now it's just too late and we can't go back... I'm sorry... I can't be perfect...*

My best friend, Adrian:
Pieces of Me by Ashlee Simpson

I am moody and messy... I get restless and it's senseless how you never seem to care... When I'm angry, you listen... Make me happy, it's your mission... and you won't stop till I'm there...

Fall, sometimes I fall so fast... When I hit that bottom... crash... You're all I have...

It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real... I like the way that feels... It's as if you know me better than I ever knew myself... I love how you can tell... all the pieces, pieces, pieces of me...

My ex-boyfriend, Mike:
Let it Burn by Usher:
It's gonna burn for me to say this but it's coming from my heart... it's been a long time coming but we been fallin apart... really wanna work this out but I dont think you're gonna change... I do, but you dont, think it's best we go our separate ways... tell me why I should stay in this relationship when I'm hurtin baby... I aint happy baby plus theres so many other things I can not deal with... I think that you should... Let it Burn...

Always loved the track "For crying out loud" by Meatloaf. The words are very meaningful to Carol and I

 

[wellingtoncats]

Liza, that last song makes me cry!

Beautiful!

 

[malakai711]

I cry when I hear it, too...

A couple more Adrian songs...
If You're Not the One by Daniel Bedingfield
I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
Weâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t want to run away but I canâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t take it, I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t understand
If Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?

If I Didnt Know Better by Luther Vandross
If I didnt know better...
I think that you were mine... you're with me all the time...
If I didnt know better...
I'd swear we're more than friends... you're touching me again...
If I didnt know better...
I'd think we were in love... do you wanna tell me something?

True Colors by Fredo Starr
They say this love wasnt meant to be... Two people from two different worlds... we werent meant to be... it musta been fate you were sent to me... we'll make it through these hard times eventually... the standard fight.. walk by faith and not by sight... we're all the same color when we turn out the light...
I see your true color, shining through...
I see your true color, that's why I love you...

Mike:
Hope You Dance by LeAnn Womack
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances, but they're worth takin'
Lovin' might be a mistake, but it's worth makin'
Don't let some hell-bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to sellin' out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance, I hope you dance

 

[wellingtoncats]

Daniel Bedingfield... a NZ guy! I LOVE LOVE LOVE that song, it's in my CD player at the moment.

Just adding another one by the artist Pink - Family Portrait.

....Momma please stop cryin, I canâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t stand the sound
Your pain is painful and itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s tearinâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji] me down
I hear glasses breakin as I sit up in my bed
I told God you didnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t mean those nasty things you
Said

You fight about money, bout me and my brother
And this I come home to, this is my shelter
It ainâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t easy growin up in world war iii
Never knowin what love could be, youâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ll see
I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t want love to destroy me like it has done
My family

Can we work it out? can we be a family?
I promise Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ll be better, mommy Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ll do anything
Can we work it out? can we be a family?
I promise Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ll be better, daddy please donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t
Leave....

I hate to admit this, but I'm a Westlife convert

It's my boyfriends fault!! Actually, some of the lyrics are pretty nice - a lot of it is pure cheese which is nice for a girlie night in, but you do get the odd one that bring the tears to the eyes!

HOME - I love all of this one, but that's the beat that does it for me rather than the lyrics

"Hey... what's your name?
Do you live around here,
And don't I know your face?"

HEAL
Even though you're near me
I need you far away
To be an ocean
To build another way

I'll be broken
And I know it
But I just can't seem to find
Another way

Though you want to
Though you try to
You can't stop the rain
For the first time
It's not you
Who can heal me

I need some distance
To find another road
It's not so easy
Sorrow, such a heavy load

I'll be broken
And I show it
But I'm gonna have to live
Without you here

Though you want to
Though you try to
You can't stop the rain
For the first time
It's not you
Who can heal me

Poets say
As time's a case
A broken souls were mend
But you would come around again
So my sorrow's gonna end

But it's not you...
Heal me...
But it's not you...
Heal me...

Though you want to (though you want to)
Though you try to (thought you try to)
You can't stop the rain
For the first time
It's not you
Who can heal me

Though you want to (though you want to)
Though you try to (thought you try to)
You can't stop the rain
For the first time
It's not you
Who can heal me
Heal me

OH what a great big sop I am eh?

 

[dlmckay]

Song lyrics... I could be here all night...

Robbie Williams - come and hold my hand, I want to contact the living...

Depeche Mode - all I ever wanted, all I ever needed is here, in my arms...

Pink Floyd - I have become comfortably numb.

Tired now, I'll think of some more tomorrow... night!

 

[sar]

Basically, all the lyrics to Greenday 'Time of my Life'

I especially like the line 'Tattoos of Memories and thoughts stuck in my mind' (might be a bit wrong, but I just woke up!)

 

[pinkdaisy226]

Aw what a great idea!

I love the song 'Romeo and Juliet' by Dire Straits (and covered by others, I believe) but my favorite line is:
"I can't do the talks like the talk on the TV
And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything, but I'll do anything for you
I can't do anything except be in love with you."


I also love 'Sweet Child of Mine' by Guns 'N Roses... just a sweet song.

Oooh and I love that Shania Twain song "From this Moment"...

 

[captiva]

"In Your Eyes" Peter Gabriel

"Love Song" The Cure


I have a million other faves.

 

[batgirl2good]

Man, I never heard this one, but it's great! Makes me want to cry.

I love the way he says that line, it's funny!

 

[kev]

To me, surely the song by Guns and Roses - "November Rain" has to be one of the most powerful going. The song is incredible, the video is beyond that.....watching Slash rock out with his guitar, cig in mouth, hat on, out in the middle of no where just outside the church yard and the chopper pulling away and blowing the dust (okay I know the guitar aint plugged in), pure rock and pure passion.

My all time favorite group the Eagles, I just love all of their music, actually I have two that is a toss up of which I love the best.

"Try And Love Again"

When you're out there on your own
Where your memories can find you
Like a circle goes around
You were lost until you found out
What it all comes down to

One by one
The lonely feelings come
Day by day, they slowly fade away

Ooh, the look was in her eyes
you never know what might be found there
She was dancing right in time
And the looks she made so fine
Like the music that surrounds her

Should I stay or go?
I really want to know
Would I loose or win
If I try and love again?
gonna try and love again
I'm gonna try and love again
gonna try and love
gonna try and love

Right or wrong, what's done is done
It's only moments that we borrow
But the thoughts will linger on
of the lady and her song
When the sun comes up tomorrow
Well, it might take years to see
Through all these tears
Don't let go
When you find it you will know

Oh, Gonna try and love again
gonna try and love again
Sometimes lose, sometimes win,
Sometimes you need a friend
gonna try, gonna try
gonna try, gonna try, [etc.]

"The Best of my Love"

Every night I'm lyin' in bed
Holdin' you close in my dreams
Thinkin' about all the things that we said
And comin' apart at the seams
We try to talk it over
But the words come out to rough
I know you were tryin'
to give me the best of your love

Beautiful faces and loud, empty places
Look at the way that we live
Wastin' our time on cheap talk and wine
Left us so little to give
That same old crowd
Was like a cold dark cloud
That we could never rise above
But here in my heart I give you the best of my love
Oh sweet darlin' you get the best of my love, oh
Sweet darlin', you get the best of my love

I'm goin' back in time
And it's a sweet dream
It was a quiet night
And I would be all right
If i could go on sleepin'
But every mornin'
I wake up and worry
What's gonna happen today
You see it your way
And I see it mine
But we both see it slippin' away

You know we always had each other baby
I guess that wasn't enough
Oh, but here in my heart
I give you the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
Every night and day,
You get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin' you get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin' you get the best of my love..
etc..

Hey Cheryl, Nice Idea for the thread!!!!!!

Here is my favorite:

Jesus to a Child ........By George Michael

Kindness in your eyes

I guess you heard me cry
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
I'm blessed I know
Heaven sent and heaven stole
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
And what have I learned from all this pain
I thought I never feel the same about anyone or anything again
But now I know

Chorus:
When you find a love
When you know that it exists
Then the lover that you miss
Will come to you on these cold, cold nights
When you've been loved
When you know it holds such bliss
Then the lover that you kissed
Will comfort you when there's no hope in sight

Sadness in my eyes

No one guessed and no one tried
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
Loveless and cold
With your last breath you saved my soul
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
And what have I learned from all these tears
I've waited for you all those years
Then just when it began he took your love away
But I still say

Chorus

So the words you couldn't say
I'll sind them for you
And the love we would have made
I'll make it for two
For every single memory
Has become a part of me
You will always be my love
Well I've been loved so I know just what love is
And the lover thet I kissed is always by my side
Oh the lover I still miss... was Jesus to a child....

( some one to hear about it??...
