1st thread in AF, so go easy on me

Just wondering what line in what song really stands out for people?

I've always loved

'I need to much to open your eyes, 'cause I need you to look into mine'

from Snow Patrol - Open Your Eyes...

starbelgrade · 07-07-2010 03:08AM

I hate Snow Patrol. I would rather puncture my own ear drums with a sharpened pencil than have to listen to their morose, woeful drivel.

Heh knew my sig would come in handy at some point.

mrsdewinter · 07-07-2010 03:11AM

I always think Kris Kristofferson's Sunday Morning Coming Down has a few choice lyrics.

"Well, I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt.
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad,
So I had one more for dessert..."

Admit it, now, we've all been there

"my lovely horse running through the field...I wanna shower you with sugar lumps and ride you over fences...."

so deep, touches my heart..

When you've seen beyond yourself,
Then you may find, peace of mind is waiting there.
And the time will come when you see we're all one,
And life flows on within you and without you.

- George Harrison

difficult not to feel a little bit disappointed
and passed over
when i've looked right through
to see you naked and oblivious
and
you don't see me

Vertigo100 · 07-07-2010 03:24AM

Dici che il fiume
Trova la via al mare
E come il fiume
Giungerai a me
Oltre i confini
E le terre assetate
Dici che come il fiume
Come il fiume...
L'amore giungerà
L'amore...
E non so più pregare
E nell'amore non so più sperare
E quell'amore non so più aspettare

U2- Miss Sarejevo

For now

Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes -
Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume -
A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac -
Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away

That's Entertainment - The Jam

kumate_champ07 · 07-07-2010 03:38AM

"In Berlin I saw two fu<k
in the dark corner of a basketball court.
Just a slight jingle
of pocket change pulsing.

In the tourist park I lost 50 euros
to a guy with the walnut shells
and the marble.
it really pissed me off
so eww, I thought I'd go back
to get my money,
but all my homies warned me,
"oh no, those gypsies probably
got knives."

kumate_champ07 · 07-07-2010 03:43AM

this whole song is gold, heres my fav part, tho I really love the intro

"Left my niggaz house paid
Picked up a girl been tryin to fu<k since the twelfth grade
It's ironic, I had the blunt she had the chronic
The Lakers beat the Supersonics
I felt on the big fat fanny
Pulled out the jammy, and killed the punanny
And my dick runs deep, so deep, so deep
put her ass to sleep"

DOC09UNAM · 07-07-2010 03:44AM

"I put my díck in their mouth so i guess its fúck what they say"

Do you also wear cheap gold jewellery, call your friends, "homeys" & women "Biaaaatches".... in your normal run of the mill day in, erm, Dublin 6W?

ElaElaElano · 07-07-2010 03:55AM

Loose-lipped secrets
I've seen those birdies chirping
Another promise perched on their fragile branches
Cradle and all

We all hide a diary beneath some mattress
And someone has slept in my bed
Sometimes I get so naked I sing like a canary
And I scream out what I shouldn't scream

Some lies last a lifetime
They keep our diaries hidden
They don't let the whispers slip
Between the cracks of the bathroom stalls
Or be written on the bathroom walls

But still I can hear those dirty birds chirp away
It's a song I know by heart
Sometimes I resent making friends and acquaintances
It's a thin veil between us

Splendid.

DOC09UNAM · 07-07-2010 03:56AM

"The young man stands on the edge of his porch
The days were short and the father was gone
There was no one in the town and no one in the field
This dusty barren land had given all it could yield

I've been kicked off my land at the age of sixteen
And I have no idea where else my heart could have been
I placed all my trust at the foot of this hill
And now I am sure my heart can never be still
So collect your courage and collect your horse
And pray you never feel this same kind of remorse

Seal my heart and brake my pride
I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
Align my heart, my body, my mind
To face what I've done and do my time

Well you are my accuser, now look in my face
Your opression reeks of your greed and disgrace
So one man has and another has not
How can you love what it is you have got
When you took it all from the weak hands of the poor?
Liars and thieves you know not what is in store

There will come a time I will look in your eye
You will pray to the God that you always denied
The I'll go out back and I'll get my gun
I'll say, "You haven't met me, I am the only son"

Seal my heart and brake my pride
I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
Align my heart, my body, my mind
To face what I've done and do my time

Seal my heart and brake my pride
I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
Align my heart, my body, my mind
To face what I've done and do my time

Well yes sir, yes sir, yes it was me
I know what I've done, cause I know what I've seen
I went out back and I got my gun
I said, "You haven't met me, I am the only son""

The whole song is just amazing.

GLaDOS · 07-07-2010 04:05AM

This is a song for the ladies
But Fellas listen closely

You don't always have to **** her hard
In fact sometimes that's not right to do
Sometimes you've got to make some love
And ****in' give her some smooches too
Sometimes you got to squeeze
Sometimes you got to say "Please..."
Sometimes you got to say "Hey..."

I'm gonna **** you, softly
I'm gonna screw you gently
I'm gonna hump you, sweetly
I'm gonna ball you discretely

And then you say "Hey I brought you flowers"
And then you say "Wait a minute" Sally
"I think I got somethin' in my teeth, could you get it out for me?"
That's ****in' team work!

What's your favorite posish?
That's cool with me
It's not my favorite but I'll do it for you
What's your favorite dish?
I'm not gonna cook it
But I'll order it from Zanzibar!

And then I'm gonna love you completely
And then I ****in' **** you discretely
And then I ****in' bone you completely
But then I'm gonna **** you hard! (Hard)

Love - Live and Let Live

Oh the snot has caked against my pants
It has turned into crystal
There's a bluebird sitting on a branch
I guess I'll take my pistol

Or

Syd Barrett - Baby Lemonade

In the sad town
cold iron hands clap
the party of clowns outside
rain falls in gray far away
please, please, Baby Lemonade

In the evening sun going down
when the earth streams in, in the morning
send a cage through the post
make your name like a ghost
please, please, Baby Lemonade

I'm screaming, I met you this way
you're nice to me like ice
in the clock they sent through a washing machine
come around, make it soon, so alone...
please, please, Baby Lemonade

In the sad town
cold iron hands clap
the party of clowns outside
rain falls in gray far away
please, please, Baby Lemonade

In the evening sun going down
when the earth streams in, in the morning
send a cage through the post
make your name like a ghost
please, please, Baby Lemonade

I posted the lyrics to the full song because it's all a work of genius. Anyone who disagrees can suck my right ball.

Sixteen in the clip and one in the hole
Nate Dogg is about to make some bodies turn cold
now they droppin and yellin

Nate Dogg and Warren G had to regulate

mardybumbum · 07-07-2010 05:14AM

Old school rap music is a guilty pleasure of mine.

Player give me some brew and I might just chill
But I'm the type that like to light another joint like Cypress Hill
I steal doobies
Spit loogies when I puff on it
I got some bucks on it
But it ain't enuff on it
Go get the s, the t-i-d-e-s
Never the less,
I'm hella Fresh,
Rolling joints like a cigarrette

Improbable · 07-07-2010 05:23AM

Creep - Radiohead

When you were here before,
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel,
Your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so ****in' special

But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts,
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice
when I'm not around
You're so ****in' special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here, ohhhh, ohhhh

She's running out again
She's running out
She run run run run...
run... run...

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so ****in' special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here

I don't belong here...

''I cut my toes off and step on the receipt before I foot the bill
listen garden tool don't make me introduce you to my power tool
you know the ****ing drill''

- eminem feat pink ''wont back down''

''Why am I like this? why is winter cold
Why is it when I talk I'm so biased to the hoes
Listen dog christmas is off this is as soft as it gets
This isnt gob this is a blister in the salt
Those are your wounds this is the salt
So get lost
**** dissin me is just like pissin off the wizard of oz
Wrap a lizard in gauze beat you in the jaws with it
Grab the scissors and saws and
Cut out your livers gizzards and balls
Throw you in the middle of the ocean in the blizzard with jaws''

-eminem ''on fire''

It's four in the morning, the end of December
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.

I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record.

Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?

Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You'd been to the station to meet every train
And you came home without Lili Marlene

And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobody's wife.

Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well I see Jane's awake --

She sends her regards.
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I'm glad you stood in my way.

If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.

Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried.

And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear

-- Sincerely, L. Cohen

"Famous blue raincoat", Leonard Cohen.

We were at a party
His ear lobe fell in the deep
Someone reached in and grabbed it
It was a rock lobster

We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock
It was a rock lobster

Motion in the ocean
His air hose broke
Lots of trouble
Lots of bubble
He was in a jam
S'in a giant clam

Down, down

Underneath the waves
Mermaids wavin'
Wavin' to mermen
Wavin' sea fans
Sea horses sailin'
Dolphins wailin'

Red snappers snappin'
Clam shells clappin'
Muscles flexin'
Flippers flippin'

Down, down

Let's rock!

Boy's in bikinis
Girls in surfboards
Everybody's rockin'
Everybody's fruggin'

Twistin' 'round the fire
Havin' fun
Bakin' potatoes
Bakin' in the sun

Put on your noseguard
Put on the lifeguard
Pass the tanning butter

Here comes a stingray
There goes a manta-ray
In walked a jelly fish
There goes a dogfish
Chased by a catfish
In flew a sea robin
Watch out for that piranha
There goes a narwhale
HERE COMES A BIKINI WHALE!

"I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together"

But from what song? Not I am the Walrus.

Also:

When all the laughter dies in sorrow
And the tears have risen to a flood
When all the wars have found a cause
In human wisdom and in blood
Do you think they'll cry in sadness?
Do you think the eye will blink?
Do you think they'll curse the madness?
Do you even think they'll think?

When all the great galactic systems
Sigh to a frozen halt in space
Do you think there will be a remnant
Of beauty of the human race?
Do you think there will be a vestige
Or a sniffle or a tear?
Do you think a greater thinking thing
Will give a damn that man was here?

By Kendrew Lascelles

passing me by - the pharcyde.....

Now there she goes again, the dopest Ethiopian
And now the world around me be gets movin in slow motion
whenever she happens to walk by why does the apple of my eye
overlook and disregard my feelings no matter how much I try?
Wait, no, i did not really pursue my little princess with persistance
And I was so low-key that she was unaware of my existance
From a distance I desired, secretly admired her
Wired her a letter to get her, and it went:
My dear, my dear, my dear, you do not know me but I know you very well
Now let me tell you about the feelings I have for you
When I try, or make some sort of attempt, I symp
Damn I wish I wasn't such a wimp!
Cuz then I would let you know that I love you so
And if I was your man then I would be true
The only lying I would do is in the bed with you
Then I signed sincerely the one who loves you dearly, PS love me tender
The letter came back three days later: Return to Sender
Damn!
