Your Favourite lyrics in songs

Jump to newest

Write some of your favourite lyrics in songs you like, and write as well where they come from and why, if there’s reasons for you to liking them!

I’ll start with a few:

Lorde - Green light

“I know about what you did and I wanna scream the truth

She thinks you love the beach, you're such a damn liar

Those great whites, they have big teeth

Hope they bite you

Thought you said that you would always be in love

But you're not in love no more”

Kim Karnes - Bette Davis Eyes

“Her hair is Harlow gold

Her lips a sweet surprise

Her hands are never cold

She's got Bette Davis eyes”

JOJO - Too little too late (this song was always a wake up slap when I didn’t want to let go of some people)

“It's just too little too late

A little too long

And I can't wait

But you know all the right things to say

(You know it's just too little too late)

You say you dream of my face

But you don't like me

You just like the chase

So be real

It doesn't matter anyway

(You know it's just too little too late)“

There’s many songs that have many lyrics that pull at my heart strings for different reasons. This one is one is probably my favourite song as it reminds me of the relationship with my mum, who I probably get most of my moral compass from.

Lynyrd Skynyrds -simple man

Mama told me when I was young

Come sit beside me my only son

And listen closely to what I say

And if you do this it'll help you

Some sunny day oh yeah

I’m gonna add also another JOJO, she was speaking the truth at 14 for all of us!!

Like this is when I’m completely over someone and they try to come back the woodwork

“Get out (leave) right now

It's the end of you and me

It's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone

'Cause I know about her (who)

And I wonder (why) how I bought all the lies

You said that you would treat me right

But you were just a waste of time (waste of time)”

It's a whole song and one of my favourites by a band called Little Comets, it's well worth a listen if you like indie.

Feel good for a minute then implode

As the lack of an aphorism sticks in your throat with ire

Depose your vernacular, argot

It's a question of rust

It's a question of trust

It's a question of everything you've ever been told.

Minimum culture, minimal wage

I'm an onion peel my layers back

Minimum silence, minimal change

I'm an honest man, depths my tears lack

And if there's love, let me know

Because I want you to come and put the beauty back

Blurred vision and the hobble of thick prose

Why empower misogyny while violence towards women grows?

But this filth stands on a quicker sand

Next to cold hard fear and the deeds of man

The abuse of body image as a form of control

And the typical portrayal of the feminine role

I have never been more appalled.

Pick me up with rhythms and waveform

That can symbolise a culture lost

Sing about the future like you mean to

I'm never going to count costs

Question the agenda of an industry

That only can objectify

You write about a non-existent blurred line

But not about abortion rights

One of my favourite songs of all time. Sheriff Fatman - Carter: The Unstoppable Sex Machine.

Now Sheriff Fatman started out in business

As a granny farmer

He was infamous for fifteen minutes

And he appeared on Panorama

Then he somehow got himself on board

The Starship Enterprise Allowance Scheme

With a Prince of Wales award

For pushing Valium and amphetamines

Moving up on second base

Behind Nicholas Van Wotsisface

At six foot six and a hundred tons

The undisputed king of the slums

With more aliases than Klaus Barbie

The master butcher of Leigh-on-Sea

Just about to take the stage

The one and only

Hold the front page!

When I find out all the reasons

Maybe I'll find another way

Find another day

With all the changing seasons of my life

Maybe I'll get it right next time

Well I jumped into the river

Too many times to make it home

I'm out here on my own, an drifting all alone

If it doesn't show give it time

To read between the lines

The song is Estranged by Guns n Roses. The whole song is aces but these lines in particular have always stuck with me.

unknown brain perfect 10

We're told to have a certain face

A certain weight, be flawless

We aren't pixels on a screen

No we're human, we breathe

Every single thing we see curated

It's overrated

These expectations, they keep weighing me down

My heart is begging me to get the hell out, of my head

I'm gonna live inside the upside down

For a minute and pretend

Honey I'm a perfect ten

Woahhh

Honey I'm a perfect ten

Woahhhh

And if I say it enough

It gets ingrained in my head

And I start to think

Honey I'm a perfect Ten

Honey I'm a perfect ten

The song is one and a million by Guns n Roses and this particular section encompasses how I felt about myself at a point in life. Whether you like the band or not it's impossible not to recognize Axl and Izzy Straddlin were/are lyrically gifted.

Well some say I'm lazy

And others say that's just me

Some say I'm crazy

I guess I'll always be

But it's been such a long time

Since I knew right from wrong

It's all the means to and end and

I keep it moving along

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 everything 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

I'll assume we all know where these lyrics come from

Norfolk

Drones since the dawn of time

Compelled to live your sheltered lives

Not once has anyone ever seen

Such a rise in pure hypocrisy

I'll instigate I'll free your mind

I'll show you what ive known all this time

God hates us all, god hates us all

Homicide-suicide

Hate heals you should try it sometime

Strive for peace with acts of war

The beauty of death we all adore

I have no faith distracting me

I know why your prayers will never be answered

God hates us all, God hates us all

Pessimist, terrorist targeting the next mark

Global chaos feeding on hysteria

Cut throat, slit your wrist, shoot you in the back fair game

Drig abuse, self abuse searching for the next high

Sounds a lot like hell is spreading all the time

I'm waiting for the day the whole world fucking dies

I never said I wanted to be gods disciple, I'll never be the one to blindly follow

Man made virus infecting the world

Self destruct human time bomb

What if there is no god would you think the fucking same

Wasting your life in a leap of blind faith

Wake the fuck up can't ignore what I say

I got my own philosophy

I hate everyone equally

You cant turn that out of me

No segregation-seperation

Just me in my world of enemies

I reject this fucking race

I despise this fucking place.

Dark, yes, but definitely the world as it is......

South Wales

I always say it's from Woman's Work by Kate Bush.

"I should be hoping but I can't stop thinking."

9 words that perfectly captures the human condition. It comes after the line "I should be crying but I just can't let it show" and the song is about a man, sat in the waiting area, trying to be strong for his wife during a troubled labour. But he's utterly impotent and useless now, he's alone with his thoughts and the knowledge of what could go wrong.

I also like "Knees bent, arms stretched RAH! RAH! RAH!" from thecHokey Cokey.

Midlothian

I LOVE lyrics … they are my thing

Just one look and I can barely breathe I feel your golden eyes burning right through me.

——————-

Isn’t it lovely all alone, heart made of glass my mind of stone, tear me to pieces, skin and bone, hello welcome home.

——————

And even though you’ve got bad tattoos and smell like booze I’m into you.

——————-

Where do we go? Oh when our prayers are answered. Where do we go? Oh when our prayers are answered but the answer is no.

——————

Don't tell me to smile when it's wrong

Cause the cracks in your porcelain are revealing

Don't tell me to fight for my rights

When you ostracize me for not conforming to your ideologies

Don't tell me to always be true

When you kick and stomp and slit the throats to get through

Don't tell me because, i don't care

About the colour that you package it

I know sometimes life is not fair

———————-

You're fighting me off like a firefighter

So tell me why you still get burned

You say you're not, but you're still a liar

'Cause I'm the one that you run to first

Every time, yeah

Why do you try to deny it

When you show up every night

And tell me that you want me but it's complicated

So complicated

When it hurts but it hurts so good

Do you take it?

Do you break it off?

When it hurts but it hurts so good

—————

I've been tryna find your heart

But you keep burning all the bridges to where you are

I've been looking for a spark

But you just disappear and leave me here in the dark

Will it really make a difference

If nobody's gonna listen?

How could you be close to me

Physically, but feel so distant?

Feels like you drew a long line

And now I'm on the wrong side

And if we don't believe the same

Dream the same

You leave me on the outside

Behind your walls

You build them up so tall

You don't even hear me calling

Brick by brick, I try to tear them down

But you just stand your ground

You don't even hear the sound of

All my cannons raging

Behind your walls

Walls

Walls

Behind your walls

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown

Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain

You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you

No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking

Racing around to come up behind you again

The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older

Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time

Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

Home, home again

I like to be here when I can

And when I come home cold and tired

It's good to warm my bones beside the fire

Far away across the field

The tolling of the iron bell

Calls the faithful to their knees

To hear the softly spoken magic spells

You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you

No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking

Racing around to come up behind you again

The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older

Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time

Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

Home, home again

I like to be here when I can

And when I come home cold and tired

It's good to warm my bones beside the fire

Far away across the field

The tolling of the iron bell

Calls the faithful to their knees

To hear the softly spoken magic spells"

A sickened mind and spirit

The mirror tells me lies

Could I mistake myself for someone

Who lives behind my eyes?

Will he escape my soul?

Or will he live in me?

Is he tryin' to get out or tryin' to enter me?

Diary of a madman - Ozzy Osbourne

These lyrics have always struck me because he must have been dealing with some heavy stuff at the time.

About all of the things that I long to believe

About love, the truth, what you mean to me

And the truth is

Baby you're all that I need

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses

For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails

Oh I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is

And lay you down on a bed of roses..

For someone who will always have my x

Mine would be from a local rapper from my area, I just relate to every word in the song

Parv - white flags

I’m gunna fight even though I am scared

If it all turns to ashes and we’re going backwards

I will know I did my best to be there

Though we’re losing the battle with war

We’re still standing

We won’t raise the white flags

I won’t quit, no we won’t quit

When they want us to raise our white flags I won’t quit, no we won’t quit

That’s just the chorus, you can’t get the lyrics online and I ain’t got it in me to type them all out lol

To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day

Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say

No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip

For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip

Big iron on his hip

It was early in the morning when he rode into the town

He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around

He's an outlaw loose and running, came the whisper from each lip

And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip

Big iron on his hip

In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red

Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead

He was vicious and a killer though a youth of 24

And the notches on his pistol numbered one and 19 more

One and 19 more

Now the stranger started talking, made it plain to folks around

Was an Arizona ranger, wouldn't be too long in town

He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead

And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red

After Texas Red

Wasn't long before the story was relayed to Texas Red

But the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dead

20 men had tried to take him, 20 men had made a slip

21 would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip

Big iron on his hip

The morning passed so quickly, it was time for them to meet

It was 20 past 11 when they walked out in the street

Folks were watching from the windows, everybody held their breath

They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death

About to meet his death

There was 40 feet between them when they stopped to make their play

And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today

Texas Red had not cleared leather 'fore a bullet fairly ripped

And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip

Big iron on his hip

It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered round

There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground

Oh, he might have went on living but he made one fatal slip

When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip

Big iron on his hip

Big iron, big iron

When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip

Big iron on his hip

The song is big iron by Marty Robbins. This song will forever remind me of car journeys with my dad in a blue Ford escort and a cassette with a multitude of songs recorded on it but this is one I love to this day.

Nightwish - Shoemaker. Their tribute to planetary scientist Eugene Shoemaker. An amazing song and tribute

Now you've been tucked in

For eternal earthrise and wonder

A sailor through aeons

Story unheard, howling at the earth

Yours is the whole graveyard of heavens

A ship that sailed home

You're with us, face of the night

Singing through the morn for mankind

I want to sing with you

You're home now, outward urge

As with every dreaming creature

We want to come with you

Here I came to be

Your reach into the far

On the stellar sea

Cut in little stars

We all wait the due night

Beauty which is worth the hurting

We're coming to join you

Hope revived for a lifetime

To rekindle the human spark

In love with the night

Now you've been tucked in

For eternal earthrise and wonder

A sailor through aeons

Story unheard, howling at the earth

Yours is the whole starmap of heavens

Of myriad endings

Here I came to be

Your reach into the far

On the stellar sea

Cut in little stars

We came here to be

A waypoint to the far

On the stellar sea

Cut into little-

Stars calling with the sound

Of a dreamlike dulcimer

We came here to stay

With your guiding light

And when he shall die

Take him and cut him out in little stars

And he will make the face of heaven so fine

That all the world will be in love with the night

And pay no worship to the garish sun

If you've never treated yourself to sleeping sun by Nightwish, you should. Just make sure it's Tarja turunen doing the singing.

The sun is sleeping quietly

Once upon a century

Wistful oceans calm and red

Ardent caresses laid to rest

For my dreams I hold my life

For wishes I behold my night

The truth at the end of time

Losing faith makes a crime

I wish for this night-time

To last for a lifetime

The darkness around me

Shores of a solar sea

Oh how I wish to go down with the sun

Sleeping

Weeping

With you

Sorrow has a human heart

From my god it will depart

I'd sail before a thousand moons

Never finding where to go

Two hundred twenty-two days of light

Will be desired by a night

A moment for the poet's play

Until there's nothing left to say

I wish for this night-time

To last for a lifetime

The darkness around me

Shores of a solar sea

Oh how I wish to go down with the sun

Sleeping

Weeping

With you

I wish for this night-time

To last for a lifetime

The darkness around me

Shores of a solar sea

Oh how I wish to go down with the sun

Sleeping

Weeping

With you

Placebo- Every me every you

Pretty much says it all for me.

Sucker love is heaven sent

You pucker up, our passion's spent

My heart's a tart, your body's rent

My body's broken, yours is bent

Carve your name into my arm

Instead of stressed, I lie here charmed

'Cause there's nothing else to do

Every me and every you

Sucker love, a box I choose

No other box I choose to use

Another love I would abuse

No circumstances could excuse

In the shape of things to come

Too much poison come undone

Sucker love is known to swing

Prone to cling and waste these things

Pucker up for heaven's sake

There's never been so much at stake

I serve my head up on a plate

It's only comfort, calling late

Like the naked leads the blind

I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind

Sucker love I always find

Someone to bruise and leave behind

All alone in space and time

There's nothing here but what here's mine

Something borrowed, something blue

Every me and every you

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion, too

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace...

You...

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will live as one

Not sure if it's my favourite but it's what resonates with me the most. Every Single Night by Fiona Apple

Every single night,

I endure the flight,

Of little wings of white-flamed,

Butterflies in my brain,

These ideas of mine,

Percolate the mind,

Trickle down the spine,

Swarm the belly, swelling to a blaze,

That's where the pain comes in,

Like a second skeleton,

Trying to fit beneath the skin,

I can't fit the feelings in,

Every single night's alight with my brain.
