What song lyric do you like the most?

Question

I'm a pondering mine. No that's not a song lyric, I'm just thinking...

I think its Joe Tex who put it so succinctly when he wrote:
Ain't gonna bump with no, no big fat mamma...

Answer 1

Slowly walking down the hall Faster than a cannon ball Where were you while we were getting high?
Oasis

Answer 2

From Immortal Technique's "Cause of Death" on the album "Revolutionary Volume 2"

Now here's the truth about the system that'll **** up your mind
They gave Al Queda 6 billion dollars in 1989 to 1992
And now the last chapters of Revelations are coming true
And I know a lot of people find it hard to swallow this
Because subliminal bigotry makes you hate my politics
But you act like America wouldn't destroy two buildings
In a country that was sponsoring bombs dropped on our children
I was watching the Towers, and though I wasn't the closest
I saw them crumble to the Earth like they was full of explosives
And they thought nobody noticed the news report that they did
About the bombs planted on the George Washington bridge
Four Non-Arabs arrested during the emergency
And then it disappeared from the news permanently
They dubbed a tape of Osama, and they said it was proof
"Jealous of our freedom," I can't believe you bought that excuse
Rockin a motherfu*king flag don't make you a hero
Word to Ground Zero
The Devil crept into Heaven, God overslept on the 7th
The New World Order was born on September 11

And just so Conservatives don't take it to heart
I don't think Bush did it, 'cuz he isn't that smart
He's just a stupid puppet taking orders on his cell phone
From the same people that sabotaged Senator Wellstone
The military industry got it poppin' and lockin'
Looking for a way to justify the Wolfowitz Doctrine
And as a matter of fact, Rumsfeld, now that I think back
Without 9/11, you couldn't have a war in Iraq
Or a Defense budget of world conquest proportions
Kill freedom of speech and revoke the right to abortions
Tax cut extortion, a blessing to the wealthy and wicked
But you still have to answer to the Armageddon you scripted
And Dick Cheney, you fu*kin leech, tell them your plans
About building your pipelines through Afghanistan
And how Israeli troops trained the Taliban in Pakistan
You might have some house ni**az fooled, but I understand
Colonialism is sponsored by corporations
That's why Halliburton gets paid to rebuild nations
Tell me the truth, I don't scare into paralysis
I know the CIA saw Bin Laden on dialysis
In '98 when he was Top Ten for the FBI
Government ties is really why the Government lies
Read it yourself instead of asking the Government why
'Cuz then the Cause of Death will cause the propaganda to die..

Answer 3

Lots of artists' lyrics: Keith Urban, Garth Brooks, The Beatles, Eric Clapton, The Stones, Billy Joel, Norah Jones, etc.

Answer 4

I go for Thin Lizzys the boys are back in town

You know the chick that used to dance a lot
Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got
Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
I mean she was steaming

That night over at Johnny's place
Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man we just fell about the place
If that chick don't want to know, forget her

I've forgotten alot of women in my time and usually they didn't want to know, lol

Answer 5

I like all of the lyrics to all I need by Matt kearney I know he's telling a story and I am wondering if it's about New Orleans- he's basically saying that everything is gone but she is all that he needs"the tears are comming down there mixing with the rain I know I love you that's all we can take"

Answer 6

Death Letter Blues by Son House, in terms of emotional depth these lyrics put most modern songs to shame.

Answer 7

It depends upon my mood but this is always thought provoking.

Forgotton Sons by Marillion

Armalite, street lights, nightsights
Searching the roofs for a sniper, a viper, a fighter
Death in the shadows he'll maim you, he'll wound you, he'll kill you
For a long forgotten cause, on not so foreign shores
Boys baptised in war

Morphine, chill scream, bad dream
Serving as numbers on dog tags, flak rags, sandbags
Your girl has married your best friend, loves end, poison pen
Your flesh will always creep, tossing turning sleep
The wounds that burn so deep

Your mother sits on the edge of the world
When the cameras start to roll
Panoramic viewpoint resurrect the killing fold
Your father drains another beer, he's one of the few that cares
Crawling behind a Saracen's hull from the safety of his living room chair
Forgotten sons, forgotten sons, forgotten sons

And so as I patrol in the valley of the shadow of the tricolour
I must fear evil, for I am but mortal and mortals can only die
Asking questions, pleading answers from the nameless faceless watchers
That stalk the carpeted corridors of Whitehall
Who orders desecration, mutilation, verbal masturbation
in the garden of bureaucratic wolves
Minister, minister care for your children, order them not into damnation
To eliminate those who would trespass against you
For whose is the kingdom, the power, the glory forever and ever, Amen

Halt, who goes there, Death, approach friend

You're just another coffin on its way down the emerald aisle
When your children's stony glances mourn your death in a terrorist's smile
The bomber's arm placing fiery gifts on the supermarket shelves
Alley sings with shrapnel detonate a temporary hell
Forgotten Sons

From the dole queue to the regiment a profession in a flash
But remember Monday signings when from door to door you dash
On the news a nation mourns you unknown soldier, count the cost
For a second you'll be famous but labeled posthumous
Forgotten sons, forgotten sons

Peace on earth and mercy mild, Mother Brown has lost her child
Just another Forgotten Son

Answer 8

Nights in white satin, never reaching the end. Letters I've written, never meaning to send. Beauty I'd always miss, with these eyes before. Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore, but I love you, yes I love you, Oh how I love you.
This song is a classic. It brings tears to my eyes!!!!!

Answer 9

There's a line at the end of "Deep Kick" by RHCP that says
"But the Butthole Surfers said it's better to regret something you did, than something you didn't do".
They're the words to live by, though I've never actually listened to any Butthole Surfers

Answer 10

ALL FROM FALL OUT BOY
