You're favourite Damien Lyric, and why
 

what's your favourite? Or the one you appreciate most, and why?

I absolutely love

"And I know I make you cry, and I know sometimes you want to die, but do you really feel alive without me?"

I my love for it is coupled with the melody and the accompniment, and also the way in which he sings it - it's just beautiful. The whole song, in fact, is just amazing - lyricly, melodically, vocally - it's just incredible.

I do have some other favourites but I'd have to have a think.

:)

You are favourite Damien lyric?

Don't you mean your favourite lyric?

but you can't paint an elephant, quite as good as she

there are too many to pick just one but for times sake i will just list one that comes to mind first:

What am I darlin'?
A whisper in your ear?
A piece of your cake?
What am I, darlin?
The boy you can fear?
Or your biggest mistake?

Fav.Lyrics.
 

"I Could Wait For You Like That Hole In Your Boot Waiting To Be Fixed,I Could Wait For You But What Good Would That Do But To Leave Me..Pricked"

as lyrics go this one is class, not just the words but the way it's sung...

'i wanna hear what you have to say about me/hear if you're gonna live without me/i wanna hear what you want/i remember december/i wanna hear what you have to say about me/hear if you're gonna live without me/i wanna hear what you want/whatever you want'

also for the singing as much as the words

'what i am to you is not real/and what i am to you you do not need/and what i am to you is not what you mean to me/give me miles and miles of mountains and i as for the sea'

and as we've discovered on another thread...(tee hee)

'remove the stain of my love/paper maché'

I've had that line and the following "if yes, be free. If no Leave him for me" in my head all day. Really starting to love that song.

I also really love the lyrics to grey room just now. the whole "have i still got you to be my sandy shore" etc. bit

haha tagher i knew you would write that.

"And we always seem to need the help
Of someone else
To mend that shelf
Too many books
Read me your favourite line"

From older chests. It's wonderful imagery and just so true,and idk it just struck me as being so universally true yet deeply personal at the same time. Then there's the literal and figurative meaning of books. it's just soo good!

"You know when you've found it,
There's something I've learned
'Cause you feel it when they take it away"
-Amie

"I could wait for you
Like that hole in your boot
Waiting to be fixed"
-Prague

"You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I ask for the sea"
-Volcano

"So why d'you have to lie?
I take it I'm your crutch
The pillow in your pillow case
It's easier to touch"
-Blower's Daughter Part II

i've got quite a few. there is a line in almost every song that i want to choose!

"Come all ye reborn
Blow off my horn
I'm driving real hard
This is love, this is porn
God will forgive me
But I, I whip myself with scorn, scorn

I wanna hear what you have to say about me
Hear if you're gonna live without me
I wanna hear what you want
I remember december"
- I Remember

"So fu*k you, fu*k you, fu*k you
And all we've been through
I said leave it, leave it, leave it
It's nothing anyway"
- Rootless Tree ****this one is prolly my fav. at the moment****

"What am I darlin'?
A whisper in your ear?
A piece of your cake?
What am I, darlin?
The boy you can fear?
Or your biggest mistake?"
- Cheers Dalring ****my other favorite****

those are just a few for now. i'll play more later after others post

We might make love in some sacred place. That look on your face, it's delicate.

I don't wanna pray for what is not right
And I don't wanna beg for what is not mine
I don't wanna rock the road between dreams and worldly things
I could charge, and I could really try
But I don't wanna be the brave one
In a senseless fight
I, I, I just wanna be here tonight

nice lyric choice - i totally agree. But isn't it
"Bleed it, bleed it, bleed it,
There's nothing in you" ??

I'm not 100% sure about the bleed it part - in fact it does sound more like leave, but I'm positive it's "there's nothing in you"

anyone know the official lyrics?
x

I've been told many times that it's bleed it, but to me it sounds a lot like leave it... and I don't know, but it seems a little like "I've nothing in you"... but then I could be mistaken. :icon_scra

But whatever the proper lyrics are I still love the chorus of rootless tree. When I'm feeling pissed and upset it makes me feel better in a strange 'I-don't-give-a-damn' kind of way. ;)

Oh, and I love that end bit in Cannonball...

"it's not hard to fall
And I don't want to scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know"

For me there's just something special there-it stands out everytime I listen to it.

well, the first time around damien says "bleed it, bleed it, bleed it" but then every other time after that he says "leave it, leave it, leave it"

so, it says both!

"i wanna be with the one who thinks im her brother"

Lazy Situation/We Kill

Nothing is taking me down, down, down...
Except you my love. Except you my love...


Why?
I know I should leave you but love won't let me..
it shows how strong love can be..

Aw the things we do for love.. :smiley2:

I've got so much beauty around me I can't move
I've got so much beauty around me I can't lose
I've got so much beauty around me I can't choose
I've got so much beauty around me, around you

-Toffe Pop

"You're taking me down
And you always end up
Closer than close
That's where I give in"
- Insane

"I gave me away
I could have knocked off the evening
But I lonelily loomed her into my bone
You let me down
There's no use deceiving
Neither of us wanna be alone"
- Lonelily

"Why the **** is this day taking so long"
- The Professor

i believe that its "díck" not day. in fact i KNOW that its díck

nah dude, it is DAY. not d*ck.

mehe it really sounds like ...is this "dick" taking so long :smiley5: Didnt think so as well but it doesnt sound like day...

Are we talking about the Professor? Listened to it performed at Cornucopia, Tourcoing and the Paradiso - and it's definitely DAY. You put the seed of doubt in my mind, mind you.

its definately day..

i'd always assumed it was díck.

excuse my arrogance.
favourite quote at the moment ?!!!!

"I DONT KNOW, I DONT KNOW
I DONT KNOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW"

Tiredness fuels, empty thoughts.
Find myself, disposed.- Eskimo

I find such strong emotion in these quietly sung words. Just, really powerful when I'm feeling down and thinking about life.

and...

I gave me away
I could have knocked off the evening
But I was lonelily looking for someone to hold.
In a way, I lost all I believed in
And I never found myself so low.- Lonelily

Simply extraordinary.
I can't express how much I adore his music.
I've never been moved by any music like I am by him.
He's something else. Really.

What can I say?

I was just listening to the professor live in Paris Trianon (again I know) and I was thinking the same. There are no word to say how much I admire and enjoy this guy.

:angel7:

I shiver to all his song, I think I'm simply in love

Ya I love that too. There's something so happy and yet so sad about it.

My other favourites are

"I know I make you cry.........." already mentioned from Accidental Babies,

and all the lyrics from cannonball, specifically

"Courage, teach me to be shy"
