"i wish i could eat your cancer when you turn black" - nirvana (heart-shaped box)

probably got to be one of the most distorted and abstract images possible, but really i think it's the way it fits perfectly with the mood and tone of the song as a whole, while complimenting the obsecurity of the video...ok that's pretty in depth but hey i really like that lyric

"if you wrap yourself in daffodils, i'll wrap myself in pain/ and baby if youre the queen of california, then i am the king of the rain" Goodnight Elisabeth by Counting Crows..


just one that came instantly in my mind





"it's only lies that im living, it's only tears that im crying, it's only you that im losing, guess im doing fine" Guess im doing fine by Beck.. fits the mood perfectly, so that's my choice after all..

ah.. i should really pause and think about this question more. my favorate lyricists of all time have to be between linkin park, incubus and coldplay.


this ones from incubus. song is Make Yourself.


If you let them make you, theyll make you paper-mache
At a distance youre strong, until the wind comes
Then you crumble and blow away
If you let them f*ck you, theyll be no fore-play
Rest assured, theyll screw you complete
Till your ass is blue and gray


all in all.. to me it means to be yourself..cus no one will make you better than you make yourself.

tania- I love that song, and incubus. They are one of my fav bands. I just found out that their new album will be out Feb 10th. Brandon Boyd is coming out with a book next month that is supposed to contain artwork, pictures, and writings. I cant wait.


in requards to the topic of the post (sorry i kind of got away with myself) its hard to pin point on lyric, but right now the one that is stuck in my head is...


"Don't let the world bring you down, not everyone here is that f*cked up and cold. Remember why you cameand while youre alive, experience the warmth before you grow old" Incubus The Warmth

I know you said lyric, but i had to give the whole verse, it wouldnt work as just one lyric....


Out the club about three, to the takeaway!,


The sh*t in a tray merchants,


Shops got special perching for the disorderly,


Geezers looking ordinary and a few looking lairy,


Chips fly round to the sound of the latest chart entry, and incendiary,


Waiting to blast! no harm with a contest, who can throw the furthest.


Behind the counter they look nervous, but carry on cutting the finestcuts of chicken from the big spinning stick.


then over fliesa chip, flips, hits you on the back,


you spin round on the attack "Phuck you playing at!!?"


He looks like a Cheshire cat, almost falls down,


You all frown, since superman eye lazers dont even register,


By now you wanna level this twat,


andforever your gonna regret that,


your choice of path,


so mash his head up and your girls now fed up,


but stop to think and its never gonna be the Jacky Chang seen it could've been, to end up.


"Geezers need Excitement" by The Streets

"i love you because i need to, not because i need you, i love you causei understand that god has given me your hand"


"It has to start somewhere, it has to start sometime, what better place then here, what better time then now?" - "Lights out, guerilla radio, turn that sh*t up!"


oh oh oh oh oh oh oh.. almost forgot.. absolute fav lyric of all time:


"In my dreams i was drowning my sorrows, when my sorrows, they learned to swim / surrounding me, going down on me, spilling over the brim / in waves of regret, in waves of joy, i reached out for the one, i tried to destroy... you, you were talking bout the end of the world" - Until the end of the world - U2

I Remember


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


This is by far my favourite lyric by Damo and in a close second would be the start of Round Here by The Counting Crows.


Walk out the front door like a ghost into a fog whee no one notices the contarst of white on white.

Ani Difranco's "Swandive" is one of my absolute favorite songs ever. My favorite lyrics from this song are:


"'cuz they can call me crazy if i fail
all the chance that i need
is one-in-a-million
and they can call me brilliant
if i succeed
gravity is nothing to me, moving at the speed of sound
i'm just going to get my feet wet
until i drown"


"and i've got a lack of information
but i got a little revelation
and i'm climbing up on the railing
trying not to look down
i'm going to do my best swan dive
into shark-infested waters
i'm gonna pull out my tampon
and start splashing around

'cuz i don't care if they eat me alive
i've got better things to do than survive
i've got a memory of your warm skin in my hand
and i've got a vision of blue sky and dry land"



Listen to the song. I love it. [img]smileys/smiley23.gif[/img]

When I think of heaven


(Deliver me in a black-winged bird)


I think of dying


Lay me down in a field of flame and heather


Render up my body into the burning heart of God in


The belly of a black-winged bird





From Rain King...Counting Crows of course

Its a bit more than a line...


"kiss me, please kiss me
but kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
you know it makes me so angry 'cause i know that in time
i'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye" - Jeff Buckley (Last Goodbye)


that is every relationship i have ever had...

She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love

But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run

And it wears me out, it wears me out
It wears me out, it wears me out

And if I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time, all the time








please tell me you all know what song that is from, and who it is by....

Coming back to the city
That I never quite leave
Picture you be the ocean
Picture me coughing into my sleeve

Like a snake eating snake you confuse me
Who's killer ? Who's captive ? Who's free ?
In a city that kills by constriction
Throw your streets around me and squeeze

Oh me. Just one lyric? That's not possible.

Here are a few favorites...

Here's one of my most favorite songs. It's by a band called Just Visiting whom later on changed their name to The Elms.

About Worth


Where I am is where you are
And I swear I wouldn't go where I do
If I could keep that in mind sometimes
'Cause you are so much better than this world
You don't waste your time holding against me
What you really could

And I remember the things that you said
I remember the thorns on your head

And if you could've pulled your arms off the cross
You'd have wrapped them around me
And made me feel worthy again
But you stayed right there out in the open
Tattered and broken for me

And if I never feel you again
I will give you my beginning and end

Here I am there's not much of me
But all that you see is yours
And if I want to be like you
Just as you gave me your life
Here is mine



I'll float above the ocean
the sun above is burning my head
I will grow wings and fly everywhere... - Eisley "Treetops"

"They make robots to do what you do!" - The People "Robots"

"I'm so tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here" - John Mayer "Love Song For No One"
I'll stop there.

I've got radioheads "we suck young blood" stuck in my head at the moment

"Are you hungry?
Are you sick?
Are you begging for a break?
Are you sweet?
Are you fresh?
Are you strung up by the wrists?
We want the young blood
Are you fracturing?
Are you torn at the seams?
Would you do anything?
Fleabitten motheaten?
We suck young blood "


From Damo I expect it would be something from Amie.
Got myself radiohead and Tom Mcrae tickets the other day woohooo

for a newer quote that sticks in my head:


Gravedigger, when you dig my grave, could you make it shallow, so that I can feel the rain" - Gravediggger by Dave Matthews


Old school -


"Go on and wring my neck, like when a rag gets wet, a little discipline, for my pet genius, my head is like lettuce, go on dig your thumbs in, I cannot stop giving, I'm thirty something . . . I'm a perfectionist, and perfect is a skinned knee" Midlife Crisis by Faith No More


and less well known, though he should be and will be !!!


"Darkness, Radio blasting BEEP BEEP, Find the strength to get up and feel around . . .I swear if I didn't have to pay my bills, I wouldn't have to be here, cold shuffling paper, shuffling paper" - Suffling Paper - Ryan Montbleau
