Your FAVOURITE LyRICS!

[assassin_696]

Hm, fav. lyricist (that's a word?) is Bob Dylan, so I'll just post up two song lyrics.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How many roads must a man walk down

 

 

 

Before you call him a man?

 

 

 

Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail

 

 

 

Before she sleeps in the sand?

 

 

 

Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly

 

 

 

Before they're forever banned?

 

 

 

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,

 

 

 

The answer is blowin' in the wind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How many times must a man look up

 

 

 

Before he can see the sky?

 

 

 

Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have

 

 

 

Before he can hear people cry?

 

 

 

Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows

 

 

 

That too many people have died?

 

 

 

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,

 

 

 

The answer is blowin' in the wind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How many years can a mountain exist

 

 

 

Before it's washed to the sea?

 

 

 

Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist

 

 

 

Before they're allowed to be free?

 

 

 

Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,

 

 

 

Pretending he just doesn't see?

 

 

 

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,

 

 

 

The answer is blowin' in the wind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm with you on that one, they are great lyrics. My favourite lyrics are Californication, by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Every line has a deep hidden meaning, seperate but all revolving around the same theme.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Psychic spies from China

 

 

 

Try to steal your minds elation

 

 

 

Little girls from Sweden

 

 

 

Dream of silver screen quotations

 

 

 

And if you want these kind of dreams

 

 

 

Its Californication

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Its the edge of the world

 

 

 

And all of western civilization

 

 

 

The sun may rise in the East

 

 

 

At least it settles in the final location

 

 

 

Its understood that Hollywood

 

 

 

sells Californication

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pay your surgeon very well

 

 

 

To break the spell of aging

 

 

 

Celebrity skin is this your chin

 

 

 

Or is that war your waging

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First born unicorn

 

 

 

Hard core soft porn

 

 

 

Dream of Californication

 

 

 

Dream of Californication

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Marry me girl be my fairy to the world

 

 

 

Be my very own constellation

 

 

 

A teenage bride with a baby inside

 

 

 

Getting high on information

 

 

 

And buy me a star on the boulevard

 

 

 

Its Californication

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Space may be the final frontier

 

 

 

But its made in a Hollywood basement

 

 

 

Cobain can you hear the spheres

 

 

 

Singing songs off station to station

 

 

 

And Alderons not far away

 

 

 

Its Californication

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Born and raised by those who praise

 

 

 

Control of population everybodys been there

 

 

 

and

 

 

 

I dont mean on vacation

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Destruction leads to a very rough road

 

 

 

But it also breeds creation

 

 

 

And earthquakes are to a girls guitar

 

 

 

Theyre just another good vibration

 

 

 

And tidal waves couldnt save the world

 

 

 

From Californication

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pay your surgeon very well

 

 

 

To break the spell of aging

 

 

 

Sicker than the rest

 

 

 

There is no test

 

 

 

But this is what youre craving

[Boogie]

 

Five Iron Frenzy - On Distant Shores

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have been scarred so deep by life and cold despair,

 

 

 

and brittle bones were broken far beyond repair.

 

 

 

I have leveled lies so deep, the truth may never find.

 

 

 

And inside my faithless heart, I stole things never mine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If mercy falls upon the broken and the poor,

 

 

 

Dear Father, I will see you, there on distant shores.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have toiled for countless years and ever felt the cost,

 

 

 

and I've been burned by this world's cold,

 

 

 

like leaves beneath the frost.

 

 

 

On my knees I've crawled to You, bleeding myself dry.

 

 

 

But the price of life is more, than I could ever buy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And off of the blocks,

 

 

 

I was headstrong and proud,

 

 

 

at the front of the line for the card-carrying, highbrowed.

 

 

 

With both eyes fastened tight,

 

 

 

yet unscarred from the fight.

 

 

 

Running at full tilt, my sword pulled from its hilt.

 

 

 

It's funny how these things can slip away,

 

 

 

our frail deeds, the last will wave good-bye.

 

 

 

It's funny how the hope will bleed away,

 

 

 

the citadels we build and fortify. Good-Bye.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Night came and I broke my stride,

 

 

 

I swallowed hard, but never cried.

 

 

 

When grace was easy to forget,

 

 

 

I'd denounce the hypocrites,

 

 

 

casting first stones, killing my own.

 

 

 

You would unscale my blind eyes,

 

 

 

and I stood battered, but more wise,

 

 

 

fighting to accelerate,

 

 

 

shaking free from crippling weight.

 

 

 

With resilience unsurpassed,

 

 

 

I clawed my way to You at last.

 

 

 

And on my knees, I wept at Your feet,

 

 

 

I finally believed, that You still loved me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls once again.

 

 

 

Jesus Christ, Light of the World,

 

 

 

burning bright within our hearts forever.

 

 

 

Freedom means love without condition,

 

 

 

without beginning or an end.

 

 

 

Here's my heart, let it be forever Yours,

 

 

 

only You can make every new day seem so new.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, it's Christian, but I'm not religious so you * can buzz off :P.

 

 

 

Those lyrics look amazing.

[Pete_the_Viscous]

I don't know about favorite, but I think Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here is pretty good.

[South44]

i like the lyyrics too Needles by S.O.A.D

[mbistro]

Why are almost all off-topic post about movies and music?

Oh boy, how could I forget Iron Man by Black Sabbath

 

 

 

I love the story in the lyrics, and it was the song that actually got me into rock :D

[How2PK]

 

Hm, fav. lyricist (that's a word?) is Bob Dylan, so I'll just post up two song lyrics.

Funny thing is, he wrote that song when he was 22 or younger. :P

Tupac - Changes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Come on come on

 

 

 

I see no changes wake up in the morning and I ask myself

 

 

 

is life worth living should I blast myself?

 

 

 

I'm tired of bein' poor and even worse I'm black

 

 

 

my stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch

 

 

 

Cops give a damn about a negro

 

 

 

pull the trigger kill a [racist term] he's a hero

 

 

 

Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares

 

 

 

one less hungry mouth on the welfare

 

 

 

First ship 'em dope and let 'em deal the brothers

 

 

 

give 'em guns step back watch 'em kill each other

 

 

 

It's time to fight back that's what Huey said

 

 

 

2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead

 

 

 

I got love for my brother but we can never go nowhere

 

 

 

unless we share with each other

 

 

 

We gotta start makin' changes

 

 

 

learn to see me as a brother instead of 2 distant strangers

 

 

 

and that's how it's supposed to be

 

 

 

How can the devil take a brother if he's close to me?

 

 

 

I'd love to go back to when we played as kids

 

 

 

but things change, and that's the way it is

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chorus:

 

 

 

That's just the way it is

 

 

 

Things'll never be the same

 

 

 

That's just the way it is

 

 

 

aww yeah

 

 

 

(Repeat)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-2-

 

 

 

I see no changes all I see is racist faces

 

 

 

misplaced hate makes disgrace to races

 

 

 

We under I wonder what it takes to make this

 

 

 

one better place, let's erase the wasted

 

 

 

Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right

 

 

 

'cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight

 

 

 

and the only time we chill is when we kill each other

 

 

 

it takes skill to be real, time to heal each other

 

 

 

And although it seems heaven sent

 

 

 

We ain't ready, to see a black President, uhh

 

 

 

It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact

 

 

 

the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks

 

 

 

But some things will never change

 

 

 

try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game

 

 

 

Now tell me what's a mother to do

 

 

 

bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you

 

 

 

You gotta operate the easy way

 

 

 

I made a G today But you made it in a sleazy way

 

 

 

sellin' crack to the kids. I gotta get paid,

 

 

 

Well hey, that's the way it is

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chorus:

 

 

 

That's just the way it is

 

 

 

Things'll never be the same

 

 

 

That's just the way it is

 

 

 

aww yeah

 

 

 

(Repeat)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Talking:

 

 

 

We gotta make a change...

 

 

 

It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.

 

 

 

Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live

 

 

 

and let's change the way we treat each other.

 

 

 

You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do

 

 

 

what we gotta do, to survive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-3-

 

 

 

And still I see no changes can't a brother get a little peace

 

 

 

It's war on the streets and the war in the Middle East

 

 

 

Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs

 

 

 

so the police can bother me

 

 

 

And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do

 

 

 

But now I'm back with the blacks givin' it back to you

 

 

 

Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up,

 

 

 

crack you up and pimp smack you up

 

 

 

You gotta learn to hold ya own

 

 

 

~they get~ jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone

 

 

 

But tell the cops they can't touch this

 

 

 

I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this

 

 

 

That's the sound of my tool you say it ain't cool

 

 

 

my mama didn't raise no fool

 

 

 

And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped

 

 

 

and I never get to lay back

 

 

 

'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs

 

 

 

some buck that I roughed up way back

 

 

 

comin' back after all these years

 

 

 

rat-tat-tat-tat-tat that's the way it is uhh

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chorus:

 

 

 

That's just the way it is

 

 

 

Things'll never be the same

 

 

 

That's just the way it is

 

 

 

aww yeah

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You're my brother, you're my sister

 

 

 

That's just the way it is (way it is,way it is)

 

 

 

Things will never be the same

 

 

 

You're my brother, you're my sister

 

 

 

That's the way it is

 

 

 

Aww yeah

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some things will never change

Didn't he steal that piano riff?

No, he used it. I already said that in another post, what exactly is the point in repeating yourself? I think I can guess what you are going to say next:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What a musical genious.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Am I close? And then I ask you to explain, but then you can't and you just ignore it.

All by Pearl Jam, these are my favourite ATM, I'm sure I'll think of more so they'll be added later.

And californication was good yea, RHCP r good band ;)

It's pretty self-explanatory, there are several things that make a song good. Lyrics, instruments and vocals. Using someone else's piano riff just makes the song unoriginal, like he can't even write his own riff.

I beg to differ. Have you ever heard of the Johnny Cash version of NIN - Hurt? Hell, that's just the same song, but it's performed in such a way that Cash brings it to an entire new level of meaning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And (I'm so sorry for this :oops:) Madonna's new song! :D Holy smeg, talk about catchy n cool! That was an ABBA sample, the uncoolest band ever, and the song rox my sox! :P I'm hung up on that beat fo' shizzle! :D :P

Yea, but that's a cover. 'Changes' is just someone else's riff on his lyrics.

[Peter]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes indeed IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m alone again

 

 

 

And here comes emptiness crashing in

 

 

 

ItÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s either love or hate

 

 

 

I canÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t find in between

 

 

 

Cause IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ve been with witches

 

 

 

And I have been with a queen

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It wouldnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t have worked out any way

 

 

 

So now itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s just another lonely day

 

 

 

Further along we just may

 

 

 

But for now itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s just another lonely day

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wish there was something

 

 

 

I could say or do

 

 

 

I can resist anything

 

 

 

But temptation from you

 

 

 

But IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢d rather walk alone

 

 

 

Than chase you around

 

 

 

IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢d rather fall myself

 

 

 

Than let you drag me down

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It wouldnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t have worked out any way

 

 

 

And now itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s just another lonely day

 

 

 

Further along we just may

 

 

 

But for now itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s just another lonely day

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yesterday seems like a life ago

 

 

 

Cause the one I love

 

 

 

Today I hardly know

 

 

 

You I held so close in my heart oh dear

 

 

 

Grow further from me

 

 

 

With every fallen tear

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It wouldnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t have worked out any way

 

 

 

So now itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s just another lonely day

 

 

 

Further along we just may

 

 

 

But for now itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s just another lonely day

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Either that or:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not talkinÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢bout a year

 

 

 

No not three or four

 

 

 

I donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t want that kind of forever

 

 

 

In my life anymore

 

 

 

Forever always seems

 

 

 

To be around when it begins

 

 

 

But forever never seems

 

 

 

To be around when it ends

 

 

 

So give me your forever

 

 

 

Please your forever

 

 

 

Not a day less will do

 

 

 

From you

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People spend so much time

 

 

 

Every single day

 

 

 

RunninÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢round all over town

 

 

 

GivinÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ their forever away

 

 

 

But no not me

 

 

 

I wonÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t let my forever roam

 

 

 

And now I hope I can find

 

 

 

My forever a home

 

 

 

So give me your forever

 

 

 

Please your forever

 

 

 

Not a day less will do

 

 

 

From you

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Like a handless clock with numbers

 

 

 

An infinite of time

 

 

 

No not the forever found

 

 

 

Only in the mind

 

 

 

Forever always seems

 

 

 

To be around when things begin

 

 

 

But forever never seems

 

 

 

To be around when things end

 

 

 

So give me your forever

 

 

 

Please your forever

 

 

 

Not a day less will do

 

 

 

From you

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good stuff.

It's pretty self-explanatory, there are several things that make a song good. Lyrics, instruments and vocals. Using someone else's piano riff just makes the song unoriginal, like he can't even write his own riff.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I beg to differ. Have you ever heard of the Johnny Cash version of NIN - Hurt? Hell, that's just the same song, but it's performed in such a way that Cash brings it to an entire new level of meaning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yea, but that's a cover. 'Changes' is just someone else's riff on his lyrics.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't see how one is more original than the other.

[KnightLite]

 

Tupac - Changes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Didn't he steal that piano riff?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can play both Changes by 2pac and That's Just the Way It Is by Bruce Hornsby. They are similiar but yet very different at the same time

[topham]

probably my favourite lyrics at the moment are... either lovecats by the cure or comfortably numb by pink floyd.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the cure - lovecats

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We move like cagey tigers

 

 

 

We couldn't get closer than this

 

 

 

The way we walk

 

 

 

The way we talk

 

 

 

The way we stalk

 

 

 

The way we kiss

 

 

 

We slip through the streets

 

 

 

While everyone sleeps

 

 

 

Getting bigger and sleeker

 

 

 

And wider and brighter

 

 

 

We bite and scratch and scream all night

 

 

 

Let's go and

 

 

 

Throw all the songs we know

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Into the sea

 

 

 

You and me

 

 

 

All these years and no one heard

 

 

 

I'll show you in spring

 

 

 

It's a treacherous thing

 

 

 

We missed you hissed the lovecats

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully

 

 

 

Wonderfully pretty

 

 

 

Oh you know that I'd do anything for you

 

 

 

We should have each other to tea huh?

 

 

 

We should have each other with cream

 

 

 

Then curl up by the fire

 

 

 

And sleep for awhile

 

 

 

It's the grooviest thing

 

 

 

It's the perfect dream

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hand in hand

 

 

 

Is the only way to land

 

 

 

And always the right way round

 

 

 

Not broken in pieces

 

 

 

Like hated little meeces

 

 

 

How could we miss

 

 

 

Someone as dumb as this

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love you ... let's go

 

 

 

Oh ... solid gone ...

 

 

 

How could we miss someone as dumb

 

 

 

As this?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

pink floyd - comfortably numb

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello (Echo)

 

 

 

Is there anybody in there?

 

 

 

Just nod if you can hear me

 

 

 

Is there anyone home?

 

 

 

Come on, (Echo) now

 

 

 

I hear you're feeling down

 

 

 

Well I can ease your pain

 

 

 

Get you on your feet again

 

 

 

Relax (Echo)

 

 

 

I need some information first

 

 

 

Just the basic facts

 

 

 

Can you show me where it hurts?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is no pain, you are receding

 

 

 

A distant ship's smoke on the horizon

 

 

 

You are only coming through in waves

 

 

 

Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'

 

 

 

When I was a child I had a fever

 

 

 

My hands felt just like two balloons

 

 

 

Now I got that feeling once again

 

 

 

I can't explain, you would not understand

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is not how I am

 

 

 

I have become comfortably numb

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have become comfortably numb

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ok (Echo)

 

 

 

Just a little pin[puncture] (pin droping sound)

 

 

 

There'll be no more --Aaaaaahhhhh!

 

 

 

But you may feel a little sick

 

 

 

Can you stand up? (Echo)

 

 

 

I do believe it's working

 

 

 

Good

 

 

 

That'll keep you going for the show

 

 

 

Come on it's time to go

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is no pain, you are receding

 

 

 

A distant ship's smoke on the horizon

 

 

 

You are only coming through in waves

 

 

 

Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'

 

 

 

When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse

 

 

 

Out of the corner of my eye

 

 

 

I turned to look but it was gone

 

 

 

I cannot put my finger on it now

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The child is grown, the dream is gone

 

 

 

I have become comfortably numb

But that could mean Johny Cash can't even write his own lyrics, so it must be bad in your logic. Tupac wrote the lyics and used the instrumentals, other artists do their moddified version of the instrumentals and use the lyrics. You're just talking crap.

No, a cover is a cover. They still play the same notes on their guitar, they still play the same chords. 'Changes' is his lyrics on someone else's riff. That's unoriginal. If you're gonna write your own song, at least write your own riff for it.

I still don't see how writting your own lyrics and use somebody elses piano riff is less original than plain covering a song.
