Best Lyrics from PJ

Pap

I was bitten, must have been the devil
He was just paying me...
A little visit, reminding me of his presence
Letting me know, he's a-waiting...always waiting... hopin'...

I usually remember and sing this song during summer!!

Yesterday night those fucking mosquitoes were driving me crazy! I'm serious. :twisted:

And because today it's Father's Day :
He was guiding me, love, his own way
Now the man of the hour is taking his final bow
As the curtain comes down
I feel that this is just goodbye for now

comebackgirl

To myself I... surrender
To the one I'll never please

Pap

...but I am up
Riding high amongst the waves
I can feel Like I
Have a soul that has been saved
I can see the light
Coming through the clouds in rays
Gotta say it now
Better loud
Than too late...

nothingman.. he who forgets,will be destined to remember.....

Pap

I'm goin' to Lukin's...
I got a spot at Lukin's...
Unlock the door at Lukin's...
Open the fridge, now I know life is worth

One of my favs from Undone:

Well you know the pendulum throws.
Farther out to the one side swinging.
Has to sweep back the other way.
The world has come undone.
Another day and who can wait.
Change don't come at once.
It's a wave, building before it breaks.

I especially like this one live because Eddie throws that "swing I tell ya" in there before has to sweep back the other way. I love PJ

and its so true that some change doesn't come at once its a wave BUILDING before it BREAKS!!!!!!

Pap

Please remember me...

Frozen like a stone, yeah...

He 'll be flesh and bones...

I'll be gone, yeah...

Oh, just memories passing like pages in a book...



I'm falling down...

I'm falling...

Don't know if I'll get up...

You're a boy...

The smallest ocean still makes, big big waves....

Eraserhead

I wont lose my faith
It's an inside job today


No matter how cold the winter, there's a spring time ahead

*the real possibility I may meet you in my dreams...

*As I come clean. I wonder everyday as I look upon your face

Pap

I feel the need
Planted in me
Millions of years ago
Can't you see
The oceans size?
Defining time
And tide
Arising
Arms laid upon me
Being so kind
To let me ride

'No time to be void or save up on life, you got to spend it all' - Light Years

Pap

Love is a tower
Of strength to me
I am the shoreline
But you're the sea

'No time to be void or save up on life, you got to spend it all' - Light Years

Yeah this line from Light Years is probably my favourite. But so many others - because it mirrors almost exactly an experience I had during the Bush/Iraq years, these lyrics from Wordwide Suicide:

"Saw his face in a corner picture, I recognised the name, could not stop staring at the face I'd never see again" - plus the entire song's lyrics, in fairness.

From Given to Fly: "and sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky, a human being that was given to fly"

Finally Unknown Thought, which I think has become one of my all time favourite and inspirational songs:
"Feel the sky blanket you...with gems and rhinestones.....see the path cut by the moon, for you to walk on"

Pap

Under a star-lined ceiling...
And darkness so sleep. Ah,...
Your sense is revealed...
In the moonlight...

Pedro Lawyer

thumbing my way I don´ti like the song to much, but de lyric is awesone
tremor christ
dead man
push me pull me
given to fly
I got shit
present tense
AND SO MANY OTHERS

Pap

Monkey driven, call this living, hahaha
Ah too much thought, it's overwrought, a hole
Minding yours, what's mine not yours
Will finish us off

Ah-designate my life
Ah designate my view
Ah resignate my will, my will, my will, I will
Resignate my god

LET THE SKY BLANKET YOU IN GEMS AND RHINESTONES!! (i scream this in my car while driving & listening)
SEE THE PATH CUT BY THE MOON...FOR YOU TO WALK ON

and then, this part I yell and cry almost simultaneously

DREAM THE DREAM OF OTHER MEN...YOU'LL BE NO ONE'S RIVAL
DREAM THE DREAM OF OTHERS THEN...YOU WILL BE NO ONE 'S RIVAL!!!

seeing it live was my ultimate.

how does he come up with words that move so many of us time and time again??

I love this too! What great words to describe what mother nature lays out for us everyday. My 3 year old loves it too

I have 2 favorites...

I am mine

I know I was born and I know that I'll die
The in between is mine

Release

Oh, dear dad, can you see me now
I am myself, like you somehow
I'll wait up in the dark for you to speak to me

liverlisa

I think "Comeback" is some of the best, totally from the heart and gets me every time I hear the song! Also, and obvious one is "Black" ....those two almost bring tears to my eyes......

Indifference has the best lyrics, no doubt about it. I won't change direction and I won't change my mind...

so many, so many....but I would vote for every verse in Present Tense, and 3 simple words...."I am Mine"

Amen.. Presnet Tense changed my whole world.. I love that song.. As for most of my fav's are on my signature with more to be added soon cause a few more need recognized permenantly for me.. Great thread though.. I love what everyone finds most inspiring to them.. :-) This thread just made the perfect ending to a perfect PJ day..

All the love gone bad, turned my world to black,
tattooed all I see
all that I am, all I'll be....

Just one of my favorites!
