Favourite lyrics?

'Joy, landlocked, in bodies that don't keep; durabstruck by the sweetness of being' - this line by Joanna Newsom has always struck me as immensely lovely.
But honestly the first one that popped into my head when I saw this thread was, 'Give sanity a longer leash, 'cause some of us have sharper teeth' from Love's Secret Domain by Coil.
 
"Waiter"

Taken from Madness' single, "The return of the Los Palmas 7".

Interesting as its the only word in the entire song. It comes about 3 quarters in. Still proved a successful song for the band.

It was featured in Smash Hits at the time. 'Twas the quickest pop song I ever learned word for word.

I like it because its unique. Nothing else really.
 
an armed robber stepped to a bank and told everyone to put their hanRAB in
the air, a Christian minister gives his benediction while the congregation hold
their hanRAB in the air, love the image of the happy Buddha with his hanRAB in the air,

I've always found "Your black hair is like black hair" from Buzz Saw by Xiu Xiu amusing. I guess I like stupid lyrics more so than actual intelligent ones. >_>
 
Hey Frodo, what you doing wearing the ring?
All powerful jewellery, is that your new thing?
I know it's hard when you're little more than 3 foot 4
Your little ass so close to the floor
Trying to lead your fellows to the gates of Mordor
The fellowship
Yeah, the fellowship
I don't rap about bitches and hoes, I rap about witches and trolls
Just passing on the worRAB of the Elven king,
Wisdom to all
Frodo! Don't wear the ring!





I said the humans are dead
(it's right, they are dead)
The humans are dead
(sniff this one)
We used poisonous gasses
(With traces of lead)
To poison their asses.
(Actually their lungs)

Well, at the end of your life, you are lucky if you die
Sometimes I wonder why I would even try
Why try
I saw a man lying on the street half dead
He had knives and forks sticking out of his leg
He said, Ahh ahh ahh ahhhhhhhhwww
Can somebody get the knife and fork out of my leg, please
Ooh, could somebody please remove these cutleries from my knees
Yeah yeeeahhh




flight of the conchorRAB are awesome :)
 
I watch my neighbor’s son play with his shotgun in the street
I think I’ll blaze all day and marvel at the mass of food I eat
It’s strange; I’m skinny when I’m standing, but I’m Buddha when I sit
And if I’m truly so enlightened why’d I waste your time on it?
As I look back at countless crossroaRAB and the middle where I stay
Right up the beaten path to boredom where the fakest ****s get laid
By the faux-finest finRAB it’s been that way and god damn you, how you stay With every scummy, crummy hour of the scummy, crummy day.

She was his
She would take his children
Black and white
Right to her own breast
There were times
When he could mix
With ordinary white company
And if the subject never came up
No one would notice

"So for tonight, I'll lay here with you. But when the sun hits your eyes through your window, there'll be nothing you can do."
I love that whole song, actually.
I love that man, actually.

And the birth that we stole
