Whats your favorite song quotes????

Heres one from Hank Williams Jrs "Lawyers Guns and Money"

"Send lawyers guns and money
The **** has hit the fan"

nine inch nails - the great below

"The currents have their say
The time is drawing near
Washes me away
Makes me disappear"



electric six - danger! high voltage


"Don't you want to know how we keep starting fires?
It's my desire, It's my desire"

"Nothing Is Real" - Strawberry Fields, Beatles.

as well as "All you need is love", an obvious classic.

'You're such an inspiration for the ways
That I'll never ever choose to be
Oh so many ways for me to show you
How the savior has abandoned you
F##k your God
Your Lord and your Christ
He did this
Took all you had and
Left you this way
Still you pray, you never stray
Never taste of the fruit
You never thought to question why

It's not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
Praise the one who left you
Broken down and paralyzed
He did it all for you
He did it all for you

Oh so many many ways for me to show you
How your dogma has abandoned you
Pray to your Christ, to your god
Never taste of the fruit
Never stray, never break
Never---choke on a lie
Even though he's the one who did this to you
You never thought to question why'

- Judith by A Perfect Circle

And now, from where I stand
upon this hill I plundered from the pool
I look around, I search the skies
I shade my eyes, so nearly blind
And I see signs of half remembered days
I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways
I recognise the hope you kindle in your eyes

--Roger Waters, Every Stranger's Eyes

"You can't hold me now 'cause I've had enough,
Shallow apologies are not enough,
I was never here to heal your sores,
You pushed me hard now I don't care anymore."
- Torsohorse, The Angel You'll Never Be

It seems very fitting for this moment in life.

from a song called "blow my mind" - "the heart's a motor bigger than a supernova train, it's a shame its got to deal with all the demons in your brain" i think some people can live a majority of their lives dealing with personal demons

Kansas
Dust in the Wind

"Now, don't hang on.
Nothing lasts forever but the Earth and Sky.
It slips away,
And all your money won't another minute buy."

That speaks a lot from a few lines. And a beautiful violin bridge, to boot.

"Well another boy is down, shovel burned him out
Let me stand on his body to see what the shoutin's about"

'I'm Going to Memphis'- Johnny Cash

Crosby, Stills & Nash
Cathedral

Open up the gates of the church and let me out of here.
Too many people have lied in the name of Christ for anyone to heed the call.
So many people have died in the name of Christ that I can't believe it all.

Words that made a difference in my life.

CSN
..Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearby
awaiting a word
Gasping atglimpses of gentle true spirits he runs
wishing he could fly
Only to trip at the sound of goodbye

Most wonderful song ever written!!!

Who is CSN? that sounds lovely. And what is the name of the song?

"There must be some way out of here," said
the joker to the thief

bob dylan - all along the watchtover

mushroom clouds hang overhead, we tuck our children in to bed, singing this is what we've all been waiting for...........

"You do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around. That's what it's all about."

"My heart was a wardrum beat
By jugular cults in eerie jungle vaults
When number thirteen fell in My lap
Lips and skin like sin, a Venus Mantrap
My appetite whetted, storm crows wheeled
At the blurred edges of reason 'til I was fulfilled
Whors d'oeuvres eaten, I tucked Her into
A grave coffin fit for the Queen of Spades
She went out like the light in My mind
Her face an avalanche of pearl, of ruby wine...
Much was a flux, but the mouth once good for f***s
Came from retirement to prove She had not lost Her touch
I kissed Her viciously, maliciously, religiously
But when has ONE been able TO best seperate the THREE?
I know I'm sick as Dahmer did, but this is what I do
Aah, aah, ahh, I'll let you sleep when I am through...
You ******* whore."

- Cradle of Filth, Lord Abortion.

Tom Waits has many great songs and it´s hard to pick one over the other. Hats off to Tom Waits. Here are a few examples. These are excerpts and not full songs. You can find them here : Tom Waits Lyrics :

Tom Waits - Jitterbug Boy

"and so you ask me
what I'm doing here
holding up a lamp post
flippin this quarter,
trying to make up my mind
and if it's heads I'll go to
Tennessee, and tails I'll buy a drink
if it lands on the edge
I'll keep talking to you"



Tom Waits - Black Wings (Tom Waits/K. Brennan)

"Take an eye for an eye
Take a tooth for a tooth
Just like they say in the Bible
Never leave a trace or forget a face
Of any man at the table
When the moon is a cold chiseled dagger
Sharp enough to draw blood from a stone
He rides through your dreams on a coach
And horses and the fence posts
In the midnight look like bones"


Tom Waits - Cold Water (Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan)

"Well the stores are open
But I ain't got no money
I ain't got no money
Stores are open but I
Ain't got no money
Ain't got no money
Well I ain't

Found an old dog
And he seems to like me
Seems to like me
Well he seems to like me
Found an old dog and he
Seems to like me
Seems to like me
Well he seems

Seen them fellows
with the card board signs
Scrapin up a little $
To buy a bottle of wine
Pregnant women and
The Vietnam vets I say
Beggin on the freeway
Bout as hard as it gets

Well I slept in the graveyard
It was cool and still
Cool and still
It was cool and still
Slept in the graveyard
It was cool and still
Cool and still and it
Was cool"

There are so many but a few that standout in my head are

Who Are You?- Tom Waits

How do your pistol and your Bible and your
Sleeping pills go?
Are you still jumping out of windows in expensive clothes?

Time- Tom Waits

And they all pretend they're Orphans
And their memory's like a train
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
And the things you can't remember
Tell the things you can't forget that
History puts a saint in every dream
Well she said she'd steak around
Until the bandages came off

Death Of An Unpopular Poet- Jimmy Buffett

But he left all of his royalties
To spooner his ol' hound
Growin' old on steak and bacon
In a doghouse ten feet 'round
And everybody wonders
Did he really lose his mind/i]

Cowboy In The Jungle- Jimmy Buffett


There's a cowboy in the jungle
And he looks so out of place
With his shrimpskin boots and his cheap Cheroots
And his skin as white as paste
