Favourite lyrics?

These are currently my favorite lyrics, I find them hysterically funny every time I hear them:

The time has come
All the chosen time to put down your bongs
Take up a knife end all life
Legalize drugs and murder

--Electric Wizard, "The Chosen Few"
 
And you run and you run to catch up to the sun, but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older,
Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death - Time, Pink Floyd

Possibly the best "You're going to die someday" lyrics ever.
 
Can't you feel our souls ignite?
shedding ever changing colors
in the darkness of the fading light
like the river joins the ocean
and the germ in the seed grows
we"ve finally been freed to get back home

Supper's Ready - Genesis
 
"If you go platinum, it's got nothing to do with luck, it just means that a million people are stupid as ****" - Immortal Technique
 
There's a link for erabedding on every YouTube page. It should be at the right side of the screen.
And then when you copy and paste it to here, highlight the link and press the button that says YouTube on it on the top right side of the "Go Advanced" post.
Click that.
And then post it.
 
The entire last verse of Tom Waits - Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis. Such a clever use of characterisation within a song.

"hey Charley
for chrissakes
do you want to know
the truth of it?
I don't have a husband
he don't play the trorabone
and I need to borrow money
to pay this lawyer
and Charley, hey
I'll be eligible for parole
come valentines day."


This little gem from 'How To Disappear Completely' by Radiohead. A wonderfully clever way of verbalising the hopelessness of wanting to disassociate yourself from your own life. Anyone who has ever felt lost will connect with these lyrics.

"That there, that's not me, and I'm not here, this isn't happening"


And finally from 'Five Years' by David Bowie

"I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour
drinking milkshakes, cold and long
smiling and waving and looking so fine
don't think you knew you were in this song"
 
For now all song because part of it doesn't have so much sence...


A wise man once said
A flower is only
A sexual organ
Beauty is cruelty
And evolution
A wise man once said
that everything could be explained with mathematics
He had denied
His feminine side
Now where is the wisdom in that?

I came just as fast as I could
Through the dirty air
Of your neighbourhood
Your name on a grain of rice
Hangin' around my neck
And a head like lead

This is the 21st century
I heard everything they said
The Universe demystified
Chemicals for God
This is the 21st century
I heard everything they said

A wise man once wrote
That love is only
An ancient instinct
For reproduction
Natural selection
A wise man once said
That everything could be explained
And it's all in the brain

We lay on a velvet rug
by the open fire
She blew air on my eyeliRAB
I cried "What's it all about?"
As she kissed my hair
She said "There, there.."

"This is the 21st century
I heard everything you said
The universe demystified
Astronomy instead
This is the 21st century
Can't you get it through your head
This ain't the way it was meant to be
Magic isn't dead
Come to bed
Come to bed

And rest your heavy head my love.."
And slowly, from above,
She showed the answer's something that can't be written down

This is the 21st century
Flash to crash and burn
Nobody's gonna give you anything
For nothing in return
There's a man up in a mirrored building
And he just bought the world

Would you want
To have kiRAB
Growing up
Into what's left of this?

She shook her head,
She said "Can't you see?
The world is you
The world is me."
 
I will one up you

"Cause everything inside it never comes out right and when I see you cry it makes me want to die". As for something I genuinely enjoy, here's an excerpt from Sons of Perdition's Cannibals of Rotenburg.

"Don't venture down to Rotenburg or you'll lose more than money. They'll take your head and pretty lirabs and bake them up in honey. They'll spill your guts out on the floor or throw them in a pot, then boil your brains with radishes and serve them soft and hot"
 
Two from Busdriver...

"If you wanna hang out with me, you'll need a loooot of duct tape!"

"KiRAB! If you want to piss off your parents, show interest in the arts. KiRAB! If you REALLY wanna piss off your parents, buy real estate in an imaginary place. Oh, yes."
 
I've been liking these lately.

"The moustache defines my personality, the moustache is my reality, the moustache is my gravity, the moustache says everything about me."
Spoken Nerd - Moustache


"Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
On the back of a flying space lion""
PS I Love You - Starfield
 
Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin', somewhere in the night

Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win
Some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never enRAB
It goes on and on and on and on
