Favorite lyric from a song.

You play tricks on my mind
You're everywhere, but you're so hard to find
You're not marm or sentimental
You're so extreme, you can be so temperamental
But I'm not looking for a love that will last
I know what I need and I need it fast
Yeah, there's one thing in common that we both share
That's a need for each other anytime, anywhere

Caught up in the fable I watched the tower grow
Five year plans and new deals wrapped in golden chains.
And I wonder still I wonder who'll stop the rain.

Who'll Stop the Rain - Creedence Clearwater Revival

And in the same vein;

Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity
Tax the rich, feed the poor
Till there are no rich no more

Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey, who needs money, monopoly

World pollution, there's no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor
Them and us, stop the war

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

I'd Love to Change the World - Ten Years After

Give me that paper
Bet yer ass I will sign
'cause I need a beer
And it's tittie squeezing time.

Not really lyrics from a song, but a clip from a movie included in a song:

"Alright, listen to me. You pull up right where
she lives, right? Before you get outta the car, you
lock both doors. Then, get outta the car, you walk over
to her. You bring her over to the car. Dig out the key,
put it in the lock and open the door for her. Then you
let her get in. Then you close the door. Then you walk
around the back of the car and look through the rear
window. If she doesn't reach over and lift up that
button so that you can get in, dump her."
"Just like that?"
"Listen to me, kid. If she doesn't reach over and lift
up that button so that you can get in, that means she's
a selfish broad and all you're seeing is the tip of the
iceberg. You dump her and you dump her fast."

Your Boyfriend Sucks - The Ataris

The clip is from "A Bronx Tale." Incidentally, I married the only one of my girlfriends that actually unlocked the door for me. That's not the only reason, of course

I ain't often right but I've never been wrong
It seldom turns out the way it does in the song
Once in a while you get shown the light
In the strangest of places if you look at it right

-Scarlet Begonias, Grateful Dead

Suil, suil, suil a ruin
Suil go sochair agus suil go ciúin
Suil go doras agus éalaigh liom
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán.

That's what I was just thinking.

Mirrors on the ceiling, pink champagne on ice
And she said, "we are all just prisoners here, of our own device."
And in the masters chamber, they gathered for the feast
They stabbed it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
Had to find the passage back to the plce I was before
"Relax", said the nightman, "we are programmed ro recieve. You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave."

Eagles - Hotel California

I've been around the world
And every man bleeds the same
But when the lights are dim
You never know who's to blame
I don't want no scars to show
I don't want no one to know
So I'll be killing time in the blue shadows
No other place for me to go
No other place for dying slow
So I'll be killing time in the blue shadows

I've been around the world
I take credit for the things I've done
But when the lights are dim
I'm not the only guilty one
I don't want no scars to show
I don't want no one to know
So I'll be killing time in the blue shadows

I've been around the world
And every story ends the same
But when the lights are dim
You won't remember my name
I don't want no scars to show
I don't want no one to know
So I'll be killing time in the blue shadows
No other place for me to go
No other place for dying slow
So I'll be killing time in the blue shadows

No other place for me to go
No other place for dying slow
So I'll be killing, just killing time
So I'll be killing time in the blue shadows

One of my all time favorite movies. I did this test on my wife as well. Worked. Played her the movie a few years later. She got it and likes the movie.

Another one Bites the Dust

Ooh, let's go
Steve walks warily down the street
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet
Machine guns ready to go

Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this
Are you hangin' on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat - yeah

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, eh
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

How do you think I'm going to get along
Without you when you're gone
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my own

Are you happy ? Are you satisfied ?
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Look out

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, eh
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

Hey
Oh take it
Bites the dust - bite the dust hey
Hey
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust, ow
Another one bites the dust, hey hey
Another one bites the dust, heeey
Ooh show down

There are plenty of ways that you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him
You can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him
When he's down, yeah
But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating to the sound of the beat
Oh yeah

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, yeah
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
Shoot out
Hey, alright

There's nobody here, there's nobody near
I try not to care, dead eyes always stare
Let these matters be, don't trust what you see
Take hold of your time, step into the line

There's innocence torn from its maker
And stillborn, the trust in you
This failure has made the creator
So would you tell him what to do

Leave your mark upon the head of someone
Who'll cry for his state, we know it's too late
I turn round to see what was meant to be
Faint movement release to rid the disease

There's innocence torn from its maker
And stillborn, the trust in you
(I have lost all trust I had in you)
This failure has made the creator
So would you tell him what to do
(I have lost all trust I had in you)

Holy crap, I've had pieces of this song in my head for several days.... I just couldn't remember the damn name or band. Thanks! (I even had it in my iTunes library already!)

Too funny!! It actually popped back up into my Pandora this morning, which is what made me think to check this thread out again.

One lyric that I have always gotten a kick out of is from the song Who The F--- Are Arctic Monkeys:

And there's a couple of hundred
Think they're Christopher Columbus
But the settlers had already settled
Yeah, long before ya

The whole song is awesome considering how popular they have become in the 6 years since they released it.

Not knocking Phish, they're one of my all time faves, and they do a killer version of Loving Cup. Seen many a live version, and it gets the crowd going like few other's in their repertoire can, but the Stones have been "doing" a version of that song since the members of Phish were small children. Phish may do the song better in your opinion, as in mine, but it's a Rolling Stones song.

Right now listening to an old version of Marley's "Soul Shakedown Party", cuz that's how I'm gonna feel in a few minutes after this here pepperoni and anchovy 'za comes out of the oven. 'Nother good tune that Phish covers, and they do a stellar version, but nothing like the way good ol' Bob can make ya feel.

This life is more than just a read through.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Can't Stop"

A little Indian brave who before he was ten,
Played war games in the woods with his Indian friends
And he built up a dream that when he grew up
He would be a fearless warrior Indian Chief
Many moons past and more the dream grew strong until
Tomorrow he would sing his first war song and fight his first battle
But something went wrong, surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night

And so castles made of sand melt into the sea, eventually

There was a young girl, who's heart was a frown
cause she was crippled for life,
And she couldn't speak a sound
And she wished and prayed she could stop living,
So she decided to die
She drew her wheelchair to the edge of the shore
And to her legs she smiled you wont hurt me no more
But then a sight she'd never seen made her jump and say
Look a golden winged ship is passing my way

And it really didn't have to stop, it just kept on going...


Jimi

"The doctor says I'm livin'
on precious borrowed time
with all the time I'm givin'
to liquor beer and wine

the xrays of my liver
look like molded old swiss cheese
my heart pumps blood and alcohol
through hardened arteries

everybody knows me
down at the local bar
i drink until i can't see
and i wonder where you are

i guess i let my health go
since you quit bein' mine
but there's nothing to replace you
'cept liquor beer and wine

liquor beer and wine
is a flashing sign i see
every single morning i get up
it's a buzzing down at me

i look up to the heavens for
a ray of hope to shine
and there it is in neon
liquor beer and wine

ever since you left me
i've lived out of my car
parked between the liquor store
and uncle bubba's bar

booze helps ease the heartache
but you're constantly in mind
as constant as that buzzing noise
of uncle bubba's sign

liquor beer and wine
is a flashing sign i see
every dern morning i get up
it's a buzzing down at me

i look up to the heavens for
a ray of hope to shine
and there it is in neon
liquor beer and wine "

The Reverend Horton Heat

"If you keep carrying that anger; it'll eat you up inside"

Taught me to let it all go and relax

We can share the women, we can share the wine.
We can share what we got of yours cause we done shared all of mine.

Jack Straw - The Grateful Dead

As I embark on life's journey from the point where I'm at
Peace to everybody striving to live right and exact
Even though anxieties try to pull you down
See your troubles as a blessing and you're homeward bound
Everybody's gotta struggle, that's the way of the world
Can't develop biceps if you don't do curls
Can't achieve a a garden if you never water your crops
If you never paid your dues, then you don't get props
Couldn't eat a proper meal without cooking it first
Can't receive a paycheck if you don't do work
If it wasn't for the rain, then the trees won't grow
When the spring came around, what a sight to bestow
When you face adversities, dark clouds won't last
If you never study, how do you expect to pass?

Blackalicious, Making Progress

I wish you could have been a fly on the wall
When I was 12 years old
Crying over my homework.
I would have slit my wrist if it wasn't for
Rock and roll.
