Favorite Song Quotes

I just thought it'd be fun to make a thread in honor of all our favorite quotes from songs. Here are some of mine:

Radiohead-Karma Police
"Karma Police
arrest this man
talks in maths
he buzzes like a fridge"

The Beatles-Golden Slumbers
"Once there was a way
to get back homeward
once there was a way
to get back home"

The Rolling Stones-Jigsaw Puzzle
"But when it comes to the nitty-gritty
he can shove in his knife
yes, he really looks quite religious"

Talking Heads-Sax and Violins
"Love so Deep, it Kills you in your sleep"

Talking Heads-People Like Us
"People Like us... They dont want freedom,
They dont want justice, they just want...
Somebody to love."

Wow, there really is no mistaking Mick Jagger's face is there? There's something about it that draws you in, and the next thing you know it's the next day. :/

I'm going to be really depressing and go for Major Tom:

Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet earth is blue
And theres nothing I can do.

Can you believe that *this* is the song that they used in Britain to promote the moon landing? He doesn't make it back to Earth, and by the end of the song you can't help but think that the narrative's focus was an exercise in futile narcissism. In the middle of the song, Major Tom is supposed to be thought of as being a hero with the press going wild for him and his accomplishments. But then, when it becomes apparent that it's all gone tits up and he's hurtling through space with no control you realise that he's not really a hero at all, and that it's been, ultimately, utterly pointless.

I'd like to go on, but my eyes are pulling my gaze back up towards Mick's gaping mouth. o_o

Float your Jagger strut.

U2, new year's day-
"so we're told
this is the golden age
but gold is the reason
for the wars we wage"

Evanescence - Whisper

Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me I fear
She beckons me shall I give in
Upon my end shall I begin
Forsaking all I've fallen for
I rise to meet my end

House of Pain

Greetings, salutations
Peace to the nations of Zulu and Islam

I use that greeting all the time.

HOUSE OF PAIN LYRICS - Top O' The Morning To Ya

We walked into the night
Am I to bid you farewell?
Why can't you see that I try
When every tear I shed
Is for you?

I've always liked this one from Opeth's To Bid You Farewell. I always get kind of sad when the song ends.

That's your horoscope for today-
"All your friends are talking behind your back-KILL THEM.
Take down all those naked pictures of Ernest Borgnine you've got hanging in your den."

Hey there Delila-
"in 4 years you'll be done with school, and I will be making history, like I should.."

We can put whole verses right?

CunninLynguists - Love Ain't (feat. Tonedeff)

[Tonedeff]
Love ain't for the faint of heart
Start Training, this game is hard
And arduous, you're gonna play in the dark like when it rains in the park
You're hardly conscious of the stains and scars, enabling your partly clouded logic
To pay to impart bliss with arrangements of chocolates
Now, you're working yourself out the same as when you strain with a nautilus
And you're willing to embrace pain facing sustained negative consequence
If nothing you say when in love is embedded with common sense
Then, do you really regret when you've shredded your promises?
Now, I've tested the waters, kid. Sipped it; rippled the pond a bit
Visits have been abolished, and this s**t's killing my confidence
Is this filling your conscience when distance is an accomplishment?
If you miss chicks when they're around, the phrase "Let's quit" isn't an option
You best fix whatever's wrong and just move on and get on with it
Cause, You'll catch bigger fish in the sea if you manage not to drown in it
It's sad, but proud or not, most your standards go down a notch
When loneliness drinks at the bar you set too high
Cause, It isn't really my time, is it? s**t...I just found the watch
But hearing the bell toll for me twice a day, has me fearing my grandfather clock
And I can't die without trying. My hands tied in knots
Knowing that I'll never learn to brave the waves if I stand by the docks
Love is hampered by thought, if you can handle the prospect of
Death - it's as massive a shock. And To intellects, it's a f***in' smack in the crotch
It's a cancer that rots your soul, tosses demons off of the road
Just use caution and know, that, love ain't nothing but a loss of control
Off then, we go

The verse speaks for it self. I honestly believe that this is THE best Rap verse I have EVER heard. And that's coming from a HUGE Hip-Hop head.

[Beelz] Yes you are ****ed, **** out of luck.
Now I'm complete and my cock you will suck.
This world will be mine and you're first in line,
You brought me the pick and now you shall both die!

[JB] Wait! Wait! Wait!
You mother****er!
We challenge you to a rock off!
Give us one chance to rock your socks off

[Beelz] ****, ****, ****.
The demon code prevents me
From declining a rock off challenge.
What are your terms? What is the catch?

[JB] If we win, you must take your sorry ass back to hell.
And also you will have to pay our rent

[Beelz] And what if *I* win?
[JB] Then you can take Kage back to hell...
[KG] What?
[JB] Trust me Kage, it's the only way,
[KG] What the **** are you talking about?
[JB] To be your little *****.

[Beelz]
Fine! Let the rock off begin! Hahahahaa
I'm the devil, I love metal!
Check this riff it's ****ing tasty.
I'm the devil I can do what i want,
whatever I got I'm gonna flaunt,
there's never been a rock off that I've ever lost.
I can't wait to take Kage back to hell.
I'm gonna fill him with my hot demon gel.
I'll make him squeal like my scarlet pimpernel

[JB] Noooooo!
C'mon Kage bring the thunder
[KG] There's just no way that we can win,
that was a masterpiece.
[JB] Listen to me!
[KG] He rocks too hard because he's not a mortal man
[JB] Goddamn-it Kage,
he gonna make you his sex slave,
you're gonna gargle mayonnaise.
Unless we bust a massive monster mamma-jam.
[KG] Dude, we've been through so much ****,
[JB] Deactivated lasers, with my dick
[BOTH] Now its time to blow this ****er down!
[JB] C'mon Kage, now it's time to blow doors down
[KG] I hear you Jables now it's time to blow doors down
[JB] Light up the stage cause its time for a showdown
[KG] We'll bend you over then we'll take you to brown town
[BOTH] Now we've got to blow this ****er down
[KG] (He's gonna rape me if we do not blow doors down)
[JB] C'mon Kage cause it's time to blow doors down
[KG] Ooh we'll piledrive ya, it's time for the smackdown
[JB] Hey Anti-Christ-er, Beelzeboss,
We know your weakness, our rocket-sauce!
We rock the casbah, and blow your mind,
We will defeat you, for all mankind.
You hold the scepter,
We hold the key.
You are the devil,
We are the D!
We are the D! [x17]


Tenacious D. Great band. Their songs always make me laugh.

Tool - 10,000 Days

This little light of mine it gives your past unto me,
I'm gonna let it shine
to guide you safely on your way.

Your way home...

Oh, what are they gonna do when the lights go down?
Without you to guide them all to Zion?
What are they gonna do when the rivers overrun?
Other than tremble incessantly.

High is the way,
but our eyes are upon the ground.
You are the light and the way.
They'll only read about.
I only pray heaven knows,
when to lift you out.

10,000 days in the fire is long enough.
You're going home...

You're the only one who can hold your head up high.
Shake your fist at the gates saying,
"I have come home now...!"
Fetch me the spirit, the son and the father.
Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended.

"It's time now!
My time now!
Give me my
Give me my wings...!"

"Bustin' makes me feel good!"
-Ghostbusters

Song of the century.

Some of these songs are a bit offensive. I think we should stick with a few liners "quotes" like the thread suggests, not full lyrics.

Mmm. Its for quotes, not entire songs.

Not even a single verse is acceptable? 'Cause technically, a quote could be anything...

Metallica- For whom the Bell tolls- \m/
Take a look to the sky just before you die
It's the last time he will
Blackened roar, massive roar, fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now are his eyes to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see
