Here’s some of mine.
" I think God it’s moving his tongue, there’s no crowd on the streets and no sun, in my own summer"
“You and me baby ain’t nothing but mammals, so let’s do it like they do on the discovery channel”
“I felt the hate rise up in me, kneel down and clear the stone of leaves, i wandered out where you can’t see, inside my shell i wait and bleed”
"CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES, THIS IS MY LAST RESORT, suffocation, no breathing, don’t give a fuck if i cut my arm bleeding! "
And one in Spanish
“No te puedo dejar de querer, nos hemos reido y llorado los 3, yo quiero darte mi alegria, mi guitarra, mis poesias, y solo se me ocurre amarte”
The songs are (in order) : My own summer by deftones, The bad touch by the bloodhound gang, Wait and bleed by slipknot, Last resort by papa roach, Y solo se me ocurre amarte by Alejandro Sánz.
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 the band members were in their 20s when they wrote this song. Old souls.
Was a time when these lyrics would have been the top comment to this question. Now they linger at the bottom.
We who know must be getting fewer.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
No, his mind is not for rent
To any god or government
Always hopeful yet discontent
He knows changes aren’t permanent
But change is
- Tom Sawyer by Rush
There are so many good Neil Peart lyrics it’s hard to choose a favourite.
This one is definitely in my top 5:
Subdivisions
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
Subdivisions
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out
Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth
“Son, always be a good boy, don’t ever play with guns, but I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.”
Folsom prison blues Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash has some amazing lyrics

I hope it stays dark forever
I hope the worst isn’t over
And I hope you blink before I do
I hope I never get sober…
I am drowning
There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand
And I hope you die
I hope we both dieMountain Goats right?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR SKEEZIX.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.In the dark we’ll take off our clothes And there’ll be placing fingers Through the notches of your spine
–Neutral Milk Hotel, Two Headed Boy
In the aeroplane over the sea, what a fantastic album. It’s one of my favourites of all time.
If you’re going to ask a question to everyone and also answer it, the best practice is to put your own answer as a comment, rather than in the textbox.
To answer the question:
True, there’s been trouble and trickery, sir
Trembling and tribulations
Twitches from switches of hickory, sir
You, sir, and your usurpations
But my patience wears very thin
When you play the violinfrom “When You Play the Violin” by the Gothic Archies. It’s not emotionally resonant, I just love the wordplay.
No
There’s too many, but I won’t lie if I take any few lines from L. Cohen’s “The Future”:
"Your servant here, he has been told To say it clear, to say it cold It's over, it ain't going any further And now the wheels of heaven stop You feel the devil's riding crop Get ready for the future: It is murder"“I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known. Don’t know where it goes, but it’s home to me, and I walk alone.”
Boulevard Of Broken Dreams - Green Day
“And it’s whispered that soon if we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason And a new day will dawn for those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter”
- Stairway To Heaven
In keeping with their embrace and transformation of The Blues, Led Zeppelin lyrics are hopeful in the face of sadness.
They say all the best things in life are free
So 🗡️give💣 all your beer and your rum to me
Once in a while you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right
Manufacturing consent is the name of the game.
The bottom line is money, nobody gives a fuck.
“The way the trees look dead, reminds me that there’s more to life than living”
Bayside - A Synonym of Acquiesce
I love it when you call me senorita I wish I could pretend I didn’t need ya but every touch is o la la la
awesome song!
Why are you getting down voted?
I didn’t downvote and I actually enjoy the song, but that’s a pretty vapid lyric and I might imagine someone felt it wasn’t a serious suggestion - though not the only one. Perhaps they will chime in and resolve the mystery.
I grew up singing Pour Some Sugar On Me and Octopus’ Garden so I’m not one to judge.
