Your Favorite Song Lyrics?

[MidnightBlackhorn]

Hi all!

So, all you guys gotta do is post your favorite song lyrics! Copy/paste the lyrics (preferably spoil them as well) and post. The lyrics don't have to be from your favorite song, or even a song you like. The only thing you have to like is the lyrics themselves.

I'll start

I wonder if you'll notice

If they lock me up and throw away the key

Gotta be open minded

You've got a lot to learn in the ways of me

You've always got to say something

I'm none of your concern but you won't listen at all

You know I'd rather say nothing

And just be proud of myself, I'm tearing down these walls

When you fall

I'll be the only one who looks away

When you call

I'll be the first to tell you I can't stay

It's all over

I've found a better way

To help keep you from me

I'm better off this way

I'm better off this way

You gotta keep this coming

Tell me like you know it but you don't know nothing, your call

We can settle this like gentlemen

Or meet me at the back to end it all inside again

My whole life's been waiting

Ever since I can remember

Been anxious awaiting your fall

And don't let me be a long while

Can't let go of my life till I know you're done

When you fall

I'll be the only one who looks away

When you call

I'll be the first to tell you I can't stay

It's all over

I've found a better way

To help keep you from me

I'm better off this way

I'm better off this way

You want it, you've got it

You've always been such a waste of time

You want it, you've got it

A friend of yours is no friend of mine

You want it, you've got it

When will you act your age?

You want it, you've got it

You're the reason things have to change

You're the reason things have to change

When you fall

I'll be the only one who looks away

When you call

I'll be the first to tell you I can't stay

It's all over

I've found a better way

To help keep you from me

I'm better off this way

I'm better off this way

I'm better off this way

You still cross my mind from time to time. And I mostly smile.

Still so set on finding out where we went wrong and why

So I retrace our every step with an unsure pen,

trying to figure out what my head thinks,

but my head just ain't what it used to be.

And then again, what's the point anyway?

I remember you ascending all the stairs up to the balcony

to see if you could see me - hidden quietly away

And I remember the skin of your fingers,

The spot three quarters up I'd always touch when I was out of things to say.

You held my hand, but you were too afraid to speak and I could never understand.

I remember when you leaned in quick to kiss me, and I swear,

that not a single force on earth could stop the trembling of my hand,

And I remember how you smiled through the smoke

in a crowded little coffeehouse and laughed at all my jokes.

And I remember the way that you dressed and,

how we wasted all the best of us in alcohol and sweat

And I remember when I knew that you'd be leaving, how I barely kept up breathing

and I bet if I had to do it all again, I'd feel the same pain,

And I remember panicked circles in the terminal in tears.

How I wept to god in fits. I've hated airports ever since.

It must be true what people say, that only time can heal the pain.

And every single day I feel it fade away, but -

I still remember how the distance tricked us,

and lead us helpless by the wrist into a pit to be devoured.

I still remember how we held so strong to this,

though we had never really settled on a way out.

I still remember the silence, and how we'd always find a way

to turn and run to our mistakes.

I still remember how it all came back together just to fall apart again.

My dear, I hear your voice in mine.

I've been alone here, I've been afraid, my dear.

I've been at home here. You've been away for years. I've been alone.

I breathed your name into the air; I etched your name into me.

I felt my anger swelling; I swam into its sea.

I held your name inside my heart, but it got buried in my fear.

It tore the wiring of my brain; I did my best to keep it clear.

So, dear, no matter how we part, I hold you sweetly in my head.

And if I do not miss a part of you, a part of me is dead.

If I can't love you as a lover, I will love you as a friend.

And I will lay a bed before you; keep you safe until the end.

(insert text here) [/s[colour=#696969]p[/colour]oiler] is how you do a spoiler

[Volt]

Y un día después de la tormenta,

(And the next day, after the storm,)

Cuándo menos piensas sale el sol,

(When you least expect it, the sun rises)

De tanto sumar pierdes la cuenta,

(From adding so much you lose count of things)

Porque uno y uno no siempre son dos,

(Because one plus one does not always equals two,)

Cuándo menos piensas sale el sol.

(When you least expect it, the sun rises.)

Translated manually, might be just a tad bit inaccurate.

Life is (too short) So love the one you got Because you might get run over or you might get shot Never start no static I just get it off my (chest) Never had to battle with no bulletproof (vest) Take a small example, take a tip from me Take all of your money and give it up to charity Lovin's what I got, it's within my reach (And the Sublime style is still straight from Long Beach) It all comes back to you You're bound to get what you deserve Try and test that You're bound to get served Love's what I got Don't start a riot You feel it when the dance gets hot

Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that Lovin', is what I got, and remember that Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that Lovin', is what I got, I got, I got

Why I don't cry when my dog runs away I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay I don't get angry when my mum smokes pot Hits that bottle and goes right to the rock **** it, fight it, it's all the same Livin' with Louie dog's the only way to stay sane Let the lovin' Let the lovin' come back to me

Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart

How the music can free her, whenever it starts

And it's magic, if the music is groovy

It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie

I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul

But it's like trying to tell a stranger bout rock and roll

If you believe in magic don't bother to choose

If it's jug band music or rhythm and blues

Just go and listen it'll start with a smile

It won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try

Your feet start tapping and you can't seem to find

How you got there, so just blow your mind

If you believe in magic, come along with me

We'll dance until morning till there's just you and me

And maybe, if the music is right

I'll meet you tomorrow, sort of late at night

And we'll go dancing, baby, then you'll see

How the magic's in the music and the music's in me

Yeah, do you believe in magic

Yeah, believe in magic of a young girl's soul

Believe in the magic of rock and roll

Believe in the magic that can set you free

Ohh, talking bout magic

Do you believe do you believe do you believe in magic

Do you believe like I believe do you believe, believer

Do you believe like I believe do you believe in magic

There are some wonderful songs for which every word is excellent, but I shall only post snippets for my submissions:

Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve (because I get stuck in a rut)

No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,

But I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold.

But I'm a million different people from one day to the next...

I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Hit That - The Offspring (because they run counter to society's "whatever feels right" attitude)

He's saying

I'm on a roll

With all the girls I know

I know you wanna hit that

I know you wanna hit that, hit that

All the world is gettin' with, I say

Consequences are a lot, but hey

That's the way it

That's the way things go

Hey, hey, hey

Overkill - Colin Hay (because I worry too much)

I can't get to sleep

I think about the implications

Of diving in too deep

And possibly the complications

Especially at night

I worry over situations

I know will be alright

It's just overkill

I think I could post 100 of these without much of a stretch.

Can I request that people bold the lyrics that are most meaningful to them? It is a bit overwhelming to read an entire song.
