ultimate PJ Lyrics

I have just been on the bbc website and they are doing a poll on the best song lyrics ever. Two kept coming up. 1. Pete Townsends 'I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth' and the classic MC hammer with 'Stop.......................Hammer time!'

We all have out favourite Pj songs (if you can choose that is) but do people have a favourite 1 line?

    I got two - "I had a friend once, he took some acid. Now he thinks he's a fire engine" - Tool - secret track at end of opiate (gaping lotus experience?)

    "I hope someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky but why, why WHYYYYYY can't it be mine" - Black
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
  • A few of my favorites:

    "Model, Roll Model, Roll some models in blood. Get some flesh to stick, so they look like us."

    "I'm like an opening band for the sun."

    "No matter how far we both have ran, we'll end up alone like we began."

  • He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
    His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
    But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
    By faceless men, well, fuckers
    He still stands

    --

    you can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets, oh
    or you can come to terms and realize
    you're the only one who cannot forgive yourself

    The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
    Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
    Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
    Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it

    It makes much more sense, to live, in the present tense.
    What you don't see is because of your sight.

    Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I will be


    I like that line too....and I love what follows after

    "I know some day you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
    In somebody else's sky, but why, why, why
    Can't it be, can't it be mine....."

    Gets me all the time

    Maybe I should change my handle to Black11...lol

    For me, its not just the words, but how he sings them.

    I love this song more and more.
    I Got Shit...
    "if just once i could feel love
    oh stare back at me, yeah.. "



    My absolute favorite that gives me chills every time I hear it...
    GTF
    "And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
    The love he receives is the love that is saved"


    Guess I got a thing for the "love" lyrics...
    All that's sacred, comes from youth....dedications, naive and true.
  • "don't see some men as half empty, see them half full of shit"


    agreed :)

  • one of my favorites:

    Well, I don't mind stealin' bread
    From the mouths of decadence -
    But I can't feed on the powerless
    When my cup's already over-filled....
    Yeah...But it's on the table, the fire's cookin';
    And the farmin' babies of the slaves are workin'.
    Blood is on the table and the mouths are chokin'...
    But I'm goin' hungry.


    ..........Thank God for bands like Pearl Jam........ :)

    The direction of the eye
    So misleading
    The defection of the soul
    Nauseously quick
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    "If he's truly out of sight.... Is he truly out of mind" - Fatal (although I have heard eddie transpose the two during some concerts and like ti better the other way)

    ...And we're all allowed... to dream of the next.... of the next... time we touch" - Oceans

    There were lyrics form Severed hand that I REALLY loved but for the life of me I can't remember them...


    but I was able to find them after a short search...hopefully they are right... got em from the web.

    "Like a tear in all we know
    Once dissolved we are free to grow
    What is human, what is more?
    I'll answer this when I get home"


    Cheers,

    ...can't touch the bottom....
  • been peeking from the sidelines far too long...

    this is a great thread to get my feet wet

    any given day i may answer different,..and the ones i just read..YES i agree!

    didnt see the one ringing in my ears tonite though.......



    "I know I was born and I know that I'll die...the inbetween...is mine..."

    hope the water is cool and completely refreshing!
    disclaimer: I probably dont know the words...sometimes i hear what i want to hear and its never so bad when i find out different...keeps it green..

    breath

    long road

    given to fly
    .....and he still gets his love he just gives it away,
    the love he receives is the love that is saved,
    and sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky.
    a human being that was GIVEN TO FLY.....

    I’ve used hammers made out of wood.
    I have played games with pieces and rules.
    I undeciphered tricks at the bar, but now you’re gone.
    I haven’t figured out why.
    I’ve come up with riddles and jokes about war.
    I figured out numbers and what they’re for.
    I’ve understood feelings and I’ve understood words but how could you be taken away?

    And wherever you’ve gone and wherever we might go.
    It don’t seem fair. today just disappeared.
    Your light reflected now. reflected from afar
    We were but stones. your light made us stars.

    With heavy breath awakened regrets.
    Back pages and days that could have been spent together but we were miles apart.
    Every inch between us becomes light years now.
    No time to be void or save up on life.
    Oh, you got to spend it all.

    And wherever you’ve gone and wherever we might go.
    It don’t seem fair. you seam to like it here.
    Your light reflected now. reflected from afar.
    We were but stones. your light made of stars.

    And wherever you’ve gone and wherever we might go.
    It don’t seem fair. today just disappeared.
    Your lights reflected now. reflected from afar.
    We were by stones. your light made of stars.

    You know this extension on Black too? My favorit! (on live-cd "dissident", 1994)

    Why don't these, these people understand,
    oh they don't understand,
    oh no don't understand,
    we belong together!
