Favourite lyrics?

"In my dream I was drowning my sorrows
But my sorrows, they learned to swim"

(U2, Until The End Of The World)


"Give me back the Berlin wall
give me Stalin and St Paul
I've seen the future, brother:
it is murder"

(Leonard Cohen, The Future)


But let me quote a non-English one:

"Si me quedo a oscuras,
Luz de la Locura, ven y al
 
:beer:'Hes got the whole...world, In his hanRAB. Hes got the whole wide world, In his hanRAB. Hes got the whole... world in his hanRAB. Hes got the whole... world in his hanRAB.'
 
"Take a long long look in the mirror
You smiled when you lied about all of your feelings
I hope to god none of this comes true
Because one eye is shut
And the other one is completely crushed
Death will come slowly for you"


Carissa's Wierd - Blessed Arms That Hold You Tight, Freezing Cold and Alone
 
"my favorite dreams of you still wash ashore"

"hello there, the angel from my nightmare"

"nothing you confess could make me love you less"
 
It's hard for me to think of Bob Dylan in any other terms but lyrics.

Other than possibly how it portrays that Biblical characters were real people with actual feelings, I don't understand your fascination with that lyric. :( Sorry.
 
"Sometimes I don't thrill you,
Sometimes I think I'll kill you,
Just don't let me **** up will you,
'Cause when I need a friend it's still you."

--'Freak Scene' by Dinosaur Jr
 
A couple more of mine.

"Poor old man
He had an accident with a three-bar fire
But that's OK
Because he wasn't very happy anyway
Poor woman
Strangled in her very own bed as she read
But that's OK
Because she was old and she would have died anyway
Don't blame
The sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan
Because he'll never, never, never, never, never, never do it again
(not until the next time)"
(Morrissey) (Sweet and Tender Hooligan by The Smiths)

"What really lies, beyond the constraints of my mind?
Could it be the sea, with fate mooning back at me?
No, it's just more lock-jawed pop stars
Thicker than pig ****
Nothing to convey
They're so scared to show intelligence
It might smear their lovely career"
(The World is Full of Crashing Bores by Morrissey)
 
"The Last Beat of My Heart"! Great stuff

In the sharp gust of love
My memory stirred
When time wreathed a rose
A garland of shame
Its thorn my only delight
War torn, afraid to speak
We dare to breathe
Majestic
Imperial
A bridge of sighs
Solitude sails
In a wave of forgiveness
On angels' wings

Reach out your hanRAB
Don't turn your back
Don't walk away
How in the world
Can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
Close to you
'Til the last beat
Of my heart

At the close of day
The sunset cloaks
These worRAB in shadowplay
Here and now, long and loud
My heart cries out
And the naked bone of an echo says
Don't walk away

Reach out your hanRAB
I'm just a step away
How in the world
Can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
Close to you
'Til the last beat
Of my heart

How in the world
Can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
'Til the last beat
'Til the last fleeting beat
Of my heart
 
Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it's funny
What the **** you think it's doing to me?
You take your turn lashing out at me
I want you crying, when you're dirty in the front of me
Thoughtless, by Korn
 
60 watts, brighter than my future,
an empty forty, fuller than my life,
there must be more, sometimes i don't think so,
maybe i'm right. maybe there's no such thing as a brighter side
A sultry night stare at moons from rooftops,
A broken engine, poisoned never dry,
I poured my heart out to a god that doesn't listen,
You said you'd save me. You said you'd love me always but you lied.

-less than nothing by I Hate Myself
 
"Straight through the middle of your deepest darkest dream,
I wrote the melody that brought you back to life love..."

"Who says we're wrong for opening the wrong doors?
Lock up, swallow the key
You'll never replace me...
Because we've all fallen for someone we're wrong for
Lock up, swallow the key
You'll never replace me..."
