What are some of the most memorable lyrics you've found in songs? Any particular reason you like them? Who's it by? Mine would have to be these lyrics:

Some say, now suffer all the children
And walk away a savior,
Or a madman and polluted
From gutter institutions.
Don't you breathe for me,
Undeserving of your sympathy,
Cause there ain't no way that I'm sorry for what I did.

And through it all
How could you cry for me?
Cause I don't feel bad about it.
So shut your eyes,
Kiss me goodbye,
And sleep.
Just sleep.
_____________
It's from a song called Sleep by MCR

Against Me!-Problems



What are you gonna say when she picks up the phone? Should you leave a message if she's not at home? I wanted to know if you'd like to see a movie or get a drink. It would be cool just to be in your company. But if she says yes knowing what intentions might be. If one thing leads to another and there's some chemistry. You cannot lie, you have to tell the truth. You have to explain why this could never be. There are things that cannot be undone. There are mistakes that will never be forgiven. Sometimes at night I pray to wake a different person in a different place. Maybe we could just be friends. I am being a bit presumptuous. The stomach turns the mind starts to race, you nervously start to exaggerate. I just want to be young, I want to live. I want to be healthy, I don't want this problem. You wouldn't think something like (sexual) irresponsibility could complicate something like asking for a girl's company. But there are things you must accept as said and done. There are truths you must learn to confront. You can pray all night and day, you'll always wake the same person in the same place. Drunk mouth ruined it again. Sometimes I say the dumbest things. Baby it's not you specifically it could be anybody. I've gone and built this up in my head and now it's already over. It's already over before it started.



I like the song because thats exactly how i feel with a guy so yeah



Against Me!-8 Full Hours of Sleep



when you sleep, there's no suck thing as homeless. when you sleep, you can't feel the hunger. when you sleep, no one is lonely in a dream. without classes, without nations. when you sleep, she's standing there with open arms and one night could last forever, and if you asked her, she'd never let go. and you'd stay forever. and the sun's always rising in the sky somewhere. and if young hearts should explode from all the lies they've been told, let the new night bring you peace. and the promise of tomorrow. where we can wake to a new beginning. tomorrow, i'll all but have lost their faces, my friends and family. memories of all we had and the times we should have lived. and tomorrow america just might fall apart. tomorrow, tell me where will you wake up. beyond title, beyond lease, careers and laws. something more than borders on a map. and the sun's always falling in the sky somewhere. and if young hearts should explode, from all the lies they've been told. to live through one night like this...i would trade it for the silence.



and i love this song because its just oh so true





Chemical Brothers-Galvanize



Don't hold back, cause you woke up in the mornin',

with the mission to move, so i make it harder.

don't hold back, if you think about it,

so many people do, be cool man, look smarter.

don't hold back, and you shouldn't even care,

bout those losers in the air, and their crooked stares.

don't hold back, cause there's a party over here,

so you might as well be here, where the people care.

don't hold back...



the world, is holdin' back, the time has come to

the world, is holdin' back, the time has come to

the world, is holdin' back, the time has come to

galvanize!, is holdin' back, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon....



don't hold back, if you think about it too much,

you may stumble, trip up, fall on your face...

don't hold back, you think its time you get up,

crunch time, like a sit up, come on keep pace...

don't hold back, put apprehension on the back burner,

let it sit, don't even get it lit...

don't hold back, get involved with the jam,

don't be a prick, hot chick, be a dick....

don't hold back.



the world, is holdin' back, the time has come to

the world, is holdin' back, the time has come to

the world, is holdin' back, the time has come to

galvanize!, is holdin' back, c'mon, c'mon c'mon....



world, the time has come to... push the button

world, the time has come to... push the button

world, the time has come to... push the button

world... my finger, is on the button

my finger, is on the button

my finger, is on the button

push the button



the time has come to... galvanize!

the time has come to... galvanize!

right this is what made a song memorable, from maximum to least: a million. Melody/song. 2. Voice. 3. Lyrics. Lyrics are the least necessary factors, a singer can sing a song minus the lyrics, additionally a song might nicely be singed with distinctive lyrics. a lot of human beings can describe the melody of a song, they are able to additionally describe on the voice of the song's singer, yet no longer many can without postpone quote the lyric of a song wisely. that's why it particularly isn't any longer ordinary to locate a song in the internet, on the grounds which you each so often do no longer keep in mind the lyrics.

Some of my favorites:



"Can you still feel the butterflies?

Can you still hear the last goodnight?

Close my eyes and believe wherever you are, an angel for me."

From "For Me This is Heaven" by Jimmy Eat World



"And your love will be warm nights with pockets of moonlight

spotlighting you as you drift, the actor in this play.

You walk across the stage, take a bow, hear the applause,

and as the curtain falls, just know you did it all

the best that you knew how and you can hear them cheering now.

So let a smile out and show your teeth cause you know you lived it well."

from "This is Not an Exit" by Saves the Day



"Picture yourself on a train in a station,

With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,

Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile,

The girl with kaleidoscope eyes."

from "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" by The Beatles



"Oh how wrong we were to think

That immortality meant never dying."

from "Our Lady of Sorrows" by My Chemical Romance

Empty is the sky before the sun wakes up

Empty is the eyes of animals in cages

Empty are the faces of women in mourning

When everything has been taken from them

Me? Don't ask me about empty

Probably either "A Beautiful Lie" by 30 Seconds To Mars. Or "From Yesterday" by 30 Seconds To Mars. Their music is so beautiful and meaningful. But I basically like A Beautiful Lie because of the video about global warming. So I'm gonna go with "From Yesterday":

He's a stranger to some

And a vision to none

He can never get enough,

Get enough of the one



For a fortune he'd quit

But it's hard to admit

How it ends and begins

On his face is a map of the world

(A map of the world)

On his face is a map of the world

(A map of the world)

From yesterday, it's coming!

From yesterday, the fear!

From yesterday, it calls him

But he doesn't want to read the message here



On a mountain he sits, not of gold but of sin

through the blood he can learn, see the life that he turns

From a council of one

He'll decide when he's done with the innocent





Oh his face is a map of the world

(A map of the world)



Oh his face is a map of the world

(A map of the world)



From yesterday, it's coming!

From yesterday, the fear!

From yesterday, it calls him

But he doesn't want to read the message

he doesn't want to read the message

But he doesn't want to read the message here





On his face is a map of the world



From yesterday, it's coming!

From yesterday, the fear!

From yesterday, it calls him

But he doesn't want to read the message here

From yesterday,

From yesterday,

From yesterday, the fear

From yesterday,

From yesterday,

But he doesn't want to read the message

he doesn't want to read the message

he doesnt want to read the message here

Dead men lying on the bottom of the grave,

Wondering when Savior comes, is he gonna be saved.

Maybe you're a sinner into your alternate life;

Maybe you're a joker, maybe you deserve to die.



They were crying when their sons left;

God is wearing black;

He's gone so far to find no hope, he's never coming back.

They were crying when their sons left; all young men must go.

He's come so far to find the truth, he's never going home.



Young men standing on the top of their own graves

wondering when Jesus comes, are they gonna be saved.

Cruelty to the winner, bishop tells the king his lies.

Maybe you're a mourner, maybe you deserve to die.



They were crying when their sons left;

God is wearing black;

He's gone so far to find no hope, he's never coming back.

They were crying when their sons left; all young men must go.

He's come so far to find the truth, he's never going home.



Welcome to the soldier side,

Where there's no one here but me.



People all grow up to die;

There is no one here but me.



Welcome to the soldier side,

Where there's no one here but me.



People on the soldier side,

There is no one here but me.

_______________________________________________

"Soldier Side" by System of a Down

One of the greatest songs I've ever heard; very pro-troop. Hate the war, not the warrior.

Soldier Side video-->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8YluAMCRT8



Also from "In the Year 2525" by Zager and Evans



"Now it's been ten-thousand years;

Man has cried a billion tears,

For what he never knew;

Now man's reign is through.

But through eternal night,

The twinkling of starlight;

So very far away,

Maybe it's only yesterday..."

Try on your wings and find out where it's at!

my most memorable lyrics:

"there was a boy who

had two children with his sister,

they were his daughters

they were his favourite lovers"



its "broken face" by Pixies.

i dunno why its memorable, but I guess I don't actually know any other song like that. It always seems to be the first song I think of.
