Rocking / Awesome / Epic Song Lyrics

What's your favorite lyric? What makes you chuckle or shake your head?

'The sunshine bores the daylights out of me'

Rocks Off, Rolling Stones

Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move
Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove.
Oh, oh, child, way you shake that thing
Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting.
Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way
Watch your honey drip, cant keep away.

Led Zeppelin, Black Dog :rockin:

What's left inside him?
Don't he remember us?
Can't he believe me?
We seemed like bothers
Talked for hours last month
About what we wanna be
I sit now with his hand in mine
But I know he can't feel...

No one knows
What's done is done
It's as if he were dead

I'm close with his mother
And she cries endlessly
Lord how we miss him
At least what's remembered
It's so important to make best friends in life
But it's hard when my friend sits with blank expressions

No one knows
What's done is done
It's as if he were dead

He as hollow as I alone now
He as hollow as I alone
A shell of my friend
Just flesh and bone
There's no soul
He sees no love
I shake my fists at skies above
Mad at God

He as hollow as I converse
I wish he'd waken from this curse
Hear my words before it's through
I want to come in after you
My best friend

He as hollow as I alone

It's not as sad as it sounds. It freaking rocks the knobs to 11 about halfway thorough.

Tequila by the Champs...


"Tequila"

That's it...:rockin:

I will Stand!
I will Fight!
You will Never Take Me aliveeeeeeeeeee!



Same Band...Different Song.

You don't know what it's like,
You Don't have a Clue.
If you did you'd find yourself
Doing the same thing to!
Breaking the Law...
Breaking the Law!

Ooooh, you suck. Breaking the Law's gonna be in my head all day.

I'd like to lay my head down girl gently in your lap
Let you stroke my hair, as I take a nap.
You can hum a lover's tune underneath your breath.
I can almost see your face, but I ain't there yet.

Max Stalling: To me, one of the greatest country story songwriters in many years.

Simple Girl
Another Max Stalling song

Simple girl, you're coffee in the morning
Simple girl, you're iced tea at noon
Simple girl, you’re a porch swing in the evening
And a feather bed at night in our room

Simple girl your cork and bob are fishing
With a cane pole and a cold can beer
Simple girl, you're a blacktop farm to market
With the windows down and you whispering in my ear



Simple girl, simple ways of life
Simple highs and simple lows
Simple girl, simply hold me close
Simple wants, simple needs, simple dreams and simple hopes


Simple girl, are you out there listening
Simple girl do you exist
Simple girl I'll bet you're at the dime store
But every time I go to shop I forget my list

"I may be as ugly as an old mud rail fence but I'm loaded with hillbilly charm"
Billie Joe Shaver. As my SWMBO would say this almost describes me to a T.

Well, you may throw your rock,
And hide your hand.
Workin' in the dark, Against your fellow man
But as sure as God, Made black and white.
What's done in the dark,
Will be brought to the light.

This song rocks!!! The rhythm on this one has me hopping every time I hear it. This one + Midnight Rider (Willie Nelson) and Can't You See (Waylon Jennings) pep me up nicely when I need!

When I get high
I get high on speed
Top fuel funny car's
A drug for me
My heart, my heart
Kickstart my heart
Always got the cops
Coming after me
Custom built bike doing 103
My heart, my heart
Kickstart my heart

Ooh, are you ready girls?
Ooh, are you ready now?
Ooh, yeah
Kickstart my heart
Give it a start
Ooh, yeah, baby
Ooh, yeah
Kickstart my heart
Hope it never stops
Ooh, yeah, baby

Skydive naked
From an aeroplane
Or a lady with a
Body from outerspace
My heart, my heart
Kickstart my heart
Say I got trouble
Trouble in my eyes
I'm just looking for Another good time
My heart, my heart
Kickstart my heart

Ooh, are you ready girls?
Ooh, are you ready now?
Ooh, yeah
Kickstart my heart
Give it a start
Ooh, yeah, baby
Ooh, yeah
Kickstart my heart
Hope it never stops
Ooh, yeah, baby

When we started this band
All we needed, needed was a laugh
Years gone by...
I'd say we've kicked some ass
When I'm enraged
Or hittin' the stage
Adrenaline rushing
Through my veins
And I'd say we're still kickin' ass

Bob Dylan 1963

The Times They Are A-Changin'

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

This is Chuckle-worthy

Artist: Avenue D
Song: Donkey Punch

Got a new dance, real easy to do
just take off your pants and watch my crew
if you do it tonight you might get laid,
if you do it right, hell you might get paid

first off, all you hoes and skanks
turn around, bend over, grab you ankles
wave that ass up in the air,
shake it real fast like you just don't care

now someone else who's tough and strong
go rub that ass up with you dong
make sure she can feel your boner
later you won't be a loner

rub it up and down 'till you both start creaming
extra points if you got her screaming
and when your dick starts turning red
punch that ***** in the back of the head--EPIC!

chorus:
Donkey Punch
D-D-Donkey Punch
yea make me taste my lunch

Fellas come up from behind
grab that ass and start to grind
whack your meat on my back seat
while I bend and grab my feet

riding smackin' it
all the boys attackin' it
pinch a punch a bang your wang
to the back of my head to my pootie tang thang
go pow pow put my face on the floor
smack it up now knock on my back door

cuz I wannit tuff wannit ruff
bend me over, shove yourr stuff
at my pie and backside
and take me for a donkey ride

chorus

gotta decide are you the head or the tail
do you wanna ride or are you getting nailed?
baby grab me by my ponytail
and slide your hide up in my backside
ride these thighs until I'm crosseyed

I'm dignified, but I like to freak
and I got technique to make your knees weak
baby shhh don't speak, grind with me!
slap these cheeks while I ride your D
if you wanna be inside of me

baby show me now that you know how
to shake it like a maniac
cuz if you're good on the dance floor,
your good in the sack

I'll grab my ankles you grab my butt
and let's donkey dance 'till you bust a nut
chorus
(audience participation
-ALL YOU HOES TOUCH YOUR TOES!
-RUB YOUR NUTS ON MY BUTT!

Let's be serious... nothing kicks more ass than vikings.



Valhalla Awaits Me -- Amon Amarth.


Blood gushes from the wound
The cut is wide and deep
And before I turn around
He falls to his knees

A clear song rings in the blade
When steel meets hardened steel.
I hear the sound of wood that breaks,
A swords cuts through my shield.

I drop the shield and grab my axe,
A weapon in each fist.
The first blow makes the helmet crack,
The axe cut to the teeth.

I rip the axe from the head,
covered in blood and brains.
Leave the body lying dead,
Ready to strike again.

My sword cuts through clothes and skin,
Like a hot knife cuts through snow.
I smile as the bastard screams,
when I twist my sword.

Sword in my hand,
Axe on my side.
Valhall awaits me,
Soon I will die.
Bear skin on my back,
Wolf jaw on my head.
Valhall awaits me
when I'm dead.

I raise my axe above my head,
My eyes stare in furious rage.
Yet more blood will be shed,
This is a victorious day!

Blood gushes from the wound,
The cut is wide and deep.
As I turn around,
I fall to my knees.

Sword in my hand,
Axe on my side.
Valhall awaits me,
Soon I will die.
Bear skin on my back,
Wolf jaw on my head.
Valhall awaits me
when I'm dead.

Amon Amarth = Intense. BHG are funny mofos! "Do like they do on the Discovery Channel" ...or something like that

Awesome song tally :rockin:

As far as "epic", I don't think it gets much better than this

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax,' said the night man
We are programmed to receive
You can checkout any time you like
But you can never leave

"The cop knocked on my window,
"Boy where's the fire?
You got a mailbox on your bumper and a bald front tire.""
High Plains Drifter-The Beastie Boys

"I asked her for water and she brought me with gasoline"
Meanest Woman-Muddy Waters

"Anger,
he stands proudly with
shiny metallic purple armor.
Queen jealousy envy waits behind him.
Her fiery green gown stares at the grassy ground."
Bold as Love-Jimi Hendrix

"I got nasty habits
I take tea at three
the meat I eat for dinner it must be
hung up for a week.

My best friend he shoots water rats and
feeds them to his geese.
Don't you think there's a place for you
in between the sheets?

Come on now honey
we can build a home for three.
come on now honey
don't you want to live with me?"

Live With Me-The Rolling Stones

So I learned to dance with my hands in my pants
And I rub my neck and I write em a check
And they go their merry way

Billy Joel

Rush - 2112

Long song! Kick Ass Lyrics!

Something about the way you taste
Makes me want to clear my throat
There's a message to your movements
That really gets my goat
I looked for sniffy linings
But you're rotten to the core
I've had just about all i can take
You know i can't take it no more
Got a gut feeling
Centered 'round long time ago
On your ability to torment
Then you took your tongs of love
And stripped away my garment
Got a gut feeling


"Gut Feeling" - DEVO

f*ck you i wont do what you tell me
f*ck you i wont do what you tell me
f*ck you i wont do what you tell ME
F*CK you i wont do what you tell ME
F*CK YOU i wont do what you tell ME!
F*CK YOU I WONT do what you tell ME!
F*CK YOU I WONT do what you TELL ME!!
F*CK YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!!!
F*CK YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!!!
F*CK YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!!!
F*CK YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!!!

Maybe not epic but you know Zack means it!

Can't believe this one hasn't be done yet

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How evrything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

this is also a very epic sounding part of the song too.

This one from Frank Zappa


It was the blackest night
There was no moon in sight
You know the stars ain't shinin'
'cause the sky's too tight
I heard the scarey wind
I seen some ugly trees
There was a werewolf honkin'
'long the side of me

I'm mean 'n I'm bad, y'know I ain't no sissy
Got a big-titty girly by the name of chrissy
Talkin' about her 'n my bike 'n me...
'n this ride up the mountain of mystery, mystery

I noticed even the crickets
Was actin' weird up here
And so I figured I might
Just drink a little beer
I said, "gimme summa that what yer suckin' on..."
But there was no reply
'cause she was gone...

"where's those titties that I like so well
'n my goddamn beer!"
Is what I started to yell, then I heard this noise
Like a crunchin' twig, 'n up jumped the devil...he's about this big...

He had a red suit on
An' a widow's peak
An' then a pointed tail
'n like a sulphur reek
Yes, it was him awright
I sweared I knowed it was
He had some human flesh
Stuck underneath his claws
You know it looked to me
Like it was titty skin
I said, "you sonofabitch!"
'cause I was mad at him,
Well he just got out his floss
'n started cleanin' his fang
So I shot him with my shooter
Said: bang bang bang

Then the sucker just laughed 'n said, "put it away...
You know, I ate her all up...now what you
Gonna say? "
You ate my chrissy? "titties 'n all!"
Well, what about the beer then, boy? "were the cans
This tall? "
Even her boots? "would I lie to you? "
****, you musta been hungry! "yes, this is true."
Well don't they pay you good for the
Stuff that you do?
"well, you know, I can't complain when the checks come through..."

Well I want my chrissy, 'n I want my beer
So you just barf it back up now, devil,
Do you hear?

"blow it out your ass, motorcycle man! I mean, I am the devil,
Do you understand? just what will you give me
For your
Titties and beer? I suppose you noticed this little
Contract here..." yer goddam right, you son-of-a-whore,
"don't call me that"
That's about the only reason
...gimme that paper...bet yer ass I'll sign...
'cause I need a beer, 'n it's titty-squeezin' time

"man, you can't fool me...you ain't that bad...
I mean you shoulda seen some of the souls I had...
Why there was milhous nixon 'n agnew, too...
'n both of those suckers was worse 'n you..."

Well, let's make a deal if you think that's true
I mean, you're the devil, so whatcha gonna do?

(improvised dialog)
"wait a minute...a tinge of doubt crosses my mind...when you say...
That you want to make a deal with me..."

"that's very, very true
I'm only interested in two things
"yeah? "
See if you can guess what they are"

"i would think...uh...let's see, maybe stravinsky..."

"i'll give you two clues. let go of your pickle"

"what? "

"let go of your pickle!"

"i'm not holding my pickle"

"well, who's holding your pickle then? "

"i don't know...she's out in the audience...
Hey dale, would you like to come up here and hold
My pickle to satisfy this weird man out on the stage? "

"i'm only interested in two things, and that's
Titties and beer
You know what I mean?
"what? "
Titties and beer
Titties and beer
Titties and beer
Titties and beer
Titties and beer
Titties and beer
Titties and beer!"
Titties and beer!"
"i don't know if you're the right guy? "
Titties and beer!"
Titties and beer!"

"no! don't sign it! give me time to think...
I mean hold on a second boy, 'cause that's magic ink!"

And then the devil let go of his pickle
And out come my girl, there was her titties
Flop-floppin'...all around the world

She said "i got me three beers and a fistful of downs
And I'm gonna get ripped, so f**k, you clowns!"
Then she gave us the finger, it was rigid and stiff
That's when the devil, he farted
And she went right over the cliff!
The devil was mad, I took off to my pad
I swear I do declare, how did she get back there?
I swear I do declare, how did she get back there?
I swear I do declare, how did she get back there?
I swear I do declare, how did she get back there?

April 2031 by Warrant:

They say the sky used to be blue
I don't quite believe it.
It's probably always been
the color that it is.
And there were cotton candy clouds.
And birds to fly through it.
Just stories we all love
to tell our kids.

So I'll close my electronic door
And keep the cold outside.
And hug my aluminium pillow so tight.
And pray the radiation
doesn't make me sick tonight.

No more sky and no more trees.
April 2031
No more oxygen to breathe.
April 2031
No more hate and no more war.
April 2031
Nothing left worth fighting for.
April 2031.

They say there used to be a wind
that wasn't caused by fans
I wonder how it would
have felt in my hair
And the nuclear ring
around the moon was caused by man
if it was, then it's much
too late to care

So I'll put my safety goggles on
and gaze out at the sun
as the artificial
atmostphere machines
give off a constant hum
in a world that's cold and
peaceful, april 2031

No more sky and no more trees.
April 2031
No more oxygen to breathe.
April 2031
No more hate and no more war.
April 2031
Nothing left worth fighting for.
April 2031.

As far back as Veitnam,
we should have learned our lesson.
But we closed our eyes
and sent our sons away.
And they told us we were winning
as they sold more ammunition.
Some were angry,
most just looked the other way.

And the night's illuminated
by the endless glowing sand
that swallowed all the oceans
and choked off all the land.
In a world beyond resuscitation
Even by God's hand

No more mountains no more sea
April 2031
No more you and no more me
April 2031
No more music no more songs
April 2031
No God left to blame it on
April 2031

Well baby, there you stand
With your little head, down in your hand
Oh, my god, you can’t believe it’s happening
Again
Your baby’s gone, and you’re all alone
And it looks like the end.

And you’re back out on the street.
And you’re tryin’ to remember.
How will you start it over?
You don’t know what became.
You don’t care much for a stranger’s touch,
But you can’t hold your man.

You never thought you’d be alone this far
Down the line
And I know what’s been on your mind
You’re afraid it’s all been wasted time

The autumn leaves have got you thinking
About the first time that you fell
You didn’t love the boy too much, no, no
You just loved the boy to well, farewell
So you live from day to day, and you dream
About tomorrow, oh.
And the hours go by like minutes
And the shadows come to stay
So you take a little something to
Make them go away
And I could have done so many things, baby
If I could only stop my mind from wondrin’ what
I left behind and from worrying ’bout this wasted time

Ooh, another love has come and gone
Ooh, and the years keep rushing on
I remember what you told me before you went out on your own:
’sometimes to keep it together, we got to leave it alone.’
So you can get on with your search, baby, and I can
Get on with mine
And maybe someday we will find , that it wasn’t really
Wasted time

"I should give a **** but I don't give a ****!"
Gwar - 'The Salaminizer'

"I had picked up this hitchhiker that was sweatin' gallons
through a pair of Daisy Duke cut-offs and one of those Fruit Of The Loom tank-tops.
Well, that night I lost myself to ruby red lips,
milky white skin and baby blue eyes.
Name was Russell."

Get crazy with the chese whiz

Beck

I consider myself a music guy, I listen to just about everything. As I sat here combing my mental lyric bank for awesome/ epic song lyrics, I realized I don't really know any. Every Lyric that has been seared into my mind is something little. A little snippet that the singer said that I completely identify with, that describes a feeling at a place or time I have had perfectly, and lights off a powerful memory:
More pink floyd than I can list,

RoberT Earl Keen:

I wished I'd cashed my paycheck
Before I came to town
But I reached into my pocket
Found three twenties and a ten
It feels so good feelin' good again

Radiohead:
Two jumps in a week
I bet you think that's pretty clever don't you boy
Flying on your motorcycle
Watching all the ground beneath you drop
You'd kill yourself for recognition
Kill yourself to never ever stop
You broke another mirror
You're turning into something you are not

Jerry Jeff Walker:
Pissin' in the wind, bettin' on a losing friend
Makin' the same mistakes, we swear we'll never make again
Pissin' in the wind, but it's blowing on all our friends
We're gonna sit and grin and tell our grandchildren

Then there is the other major catagory for me- songs that tell a story start to finish like a book you can't put down. Johnny Cash rules this world, lots of old country, and new "Texas Country", some john prine, even some bruce springsteen (lost in the flood)

Hey teachers leave them kids alone....

brain damage - pink floyd
vicarious - tool
reason is the enemy - mark rivers/crucifolks
bad touch - bloodhound gang
puff the magic dragon - peter, paul & mary
i like hubcaps - brak
bukowski - modest mouse

Condoleezza Rice is nice but I prefer aroni. Clutch from the song the mob goes wild

I Have Never Felt Such Frustration
Or Lack Of Self Control
I Want You To Kill Me

One Who Doesn't Care Is One Who Shouldn't Be
I've Tried To Hide Myself From What Is
Wrong For Me, For Me

I Want To Taste Dirty, A Stinging Pistol
In My Mouth, On My Tongue
I Want You To Scrape Me From The Walls
And Go Crazy Like You've Made Me

And You, You Use Your
Talent To Dig Me Under
And Cover Me With Dirt

Your such an inspiration to the way I never ever choose to be.

It's where murder is justice that martyrs are made
A one gun salute for the new independence day.

They'll hallow your name for your sacrifice.

I love Mike Patton. He's f'ing nuts.

Anything by Clutch is guaranteed to have awesome lyrics.
Everything that Tool has put out has the most amazing lyrics.
And Maynard James Keenan has the voice of an angel.

The Bloodhound Gang has the funniest lyrics.

Sh*t, I could sit and type all night and not get half of the good ones coming to me right now.
