Sheryl crow

wow. after reading the thread, i found that a lot of the lines that immediately jumped to my mind were already taken. and that suprised me. i'll pick a few different ones instead:


"You are not my lover, and you never will be
'Cause you've never done anything to hurt me"
-Rufus Wainwright - Waiting For a Dream

"Hey mother mercy can your loins bear fruit forever?
Is your fecundity a trammel or a treasure?"
-Bad Religion - I Want to Conquer the World

"Cause nothing hurts like nothing at all;
When imagination takes full control."
-Death Cab For Cutie - President of What?

"If you stay to long inside my memory, I will trap you in a song tied to a melody
and I'll keep you there so you can't bother me."
-Bright Eyes - Take It Easy (Love Nothing)

Have to add another couple of Johnny Cash lyrics:

"Because you're mine,
I walk the line."

"You give me cause for love that I can't hide,
For you I know I'd even try and turn the tide"

From "I Walk the Line" - the greatest love song ever written.

And another lyric from Leonard Cohen's "Chelsea Hotel #2" (Mentioned earlier):

"I need you, I don't need you,
I need you, I don't need you."

Lyrics might not be too special, but their delivery is just heart-breaking

Would you like some making fuck, beserker
My love for you is a like a truck, beserker

-Clerks

paramedics fell into the wound
like a rehired scab at a barehanded plant

^At The drive in - invalid litter dept.

Oh, were so contraversial. We are entirely smooth.
We admit to the truth. We are the best at what we do.

^brand new. Don't like them, but this made me laugh


I'm not the only one watching thefallout fly back up
...
We fucked like a nuclear war release.

^Dillinger escape plan. Good band, but the lyrics are funnily bad. :)

This gravity is a quadriplegic horse and carriage

At The Drive In - Catamcombs for this^ and this V
Pendulum swing through tantrum slits
This scalpel's gaze untamed won't feel romantic


One more thing.
Listen to these bands if you don't already. I recommend:
At the Drive In
The Mars Volta
Aphex Twin
Prodigy
The Jimi Hendrix Experience
The Dillinger Escape Plan

..that'll do for now :)

Never had a drink that I didn't like
Got a taste of you, threw up all night
I got more sick with every sour second rate kiss
- Crawl by Alkaline Trio

"i touch down in the heated land
and shiver in my bones as i look up to greet the clouds that wait for me" - Brian Vander Ark of The Verve Pipe - She Loves Everybody.

Asta!!

So this is on my mind because of yesterday. I happened to be listening to the world's greatest rock and roll band, Blue Öyster Cult, a little ditty called "Divine Wind" off the Cultosaurus Erectus album, and I finally figured out what the refrain was:

"If he really thinks we're the devil,
Then let's send him to hell!"

Yeah, that'll do.

"If the mic had ass cheeks,
just stick it in my hand and call it priority seating"

"And man, i don't know what i'd do,
but your girl was on my dick like she as teething"

- Vast Aire

Evolution made man out of a monkey
But it took a woman to make a monkey out of me.

"You teach your children some fashion sense....
and they fashion some of their own."

- Gord Downie, as nonsense during their "Live Between Us" CD.

"take my name off of the lease,
you can even keep the name... it never suited me."

-Jets to Brazil, Sea Anemone

I think the best lyrics from a song for me have also got to be the strangest that i have heard:

"And tighten your buttocks, pour juice on your chin
I promise my girlfriend i’d... the violin, violin, violin ..."

The avalanches -- Frontier psychiatrist

"cause dreams ain't broken down here now
no...they're walking with a limp"

and

"The piano has been drinking
not me ..."

Tom Waits

Love this thread...

"Your perfect, yes, it's true; But without me you're only you;
Your menstruating heart ain't bleeding enough for two."
Faith no More - Mid-life Crisis

"The sky was gold, it was rose; I was taking sips of it through my nose;
And I wish I could get back there, some place back there..."
Third Eye Blind - Semi Charmed Life (big points for getting soccer moms to sing about Crystal Meth addiction!)

"Sneaking up like celery yeah I'm stalking
I speak like Stephen Hawkings - yeah, but I'm walkin'"
Bloodhound Gang - Boom

Everyone was Kung Fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightening


can't get much better than that... HUH!

Don't pay the ferryman. Don't even fix a price.
Don't pay the ferryman. Until he gets you to the other side.

We don't take our trips on LSD
"Merle Haggard - Okie From Muskogee - 1969"

And die behind the wheel

All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
"Richard Harris - MacArthur Park - 1968"

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn’t you
"Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone - 1965"

"In this clip
there are 13 ways to say you're sorry"

Stronger than the fake image of God in which you believe/

At war with the demons that live in infernal regions/

"Never was a cornflake girl, thought that was a good solution,
Hanging with the raisin girls."

"And then dance, and drink, .... and screw
Because there's nothing else to do'

Pulp's Common People.

But I have to admit I first heard it as William Shatner's cover. It still rocks though.

I love these 2 lines. Itd also go for best beginning...

In a room where ya do what ya don’t confess

then her titties busted open with HAWAIAN PUNCH"

Give me another taste, yeah"

While they slowly turn, conquering the worm"

"You're sorry grateful, regretful happy, Why look for answers where none occur?
You'll always be what you always were which has nothing to do with, all to do with her."

- from Sondheim's Company

"We tried to bleed the sickness,
But we drained our hearts instead."

If your kisses can't hold the man you love
then your tears won't bring him back!

The chorus from "Drop" by Red House Painters:

"All the love in an instant, makes my life stop,
But then my hate for you, makes my feelings altogether drop"

I love you more than I did the week before.
I discovered alcohol.

but the knees are as far as you go"

"Parting her silver thighs
making love - obsolete.

"her lips are wet with venom, her posture's serpentine
she'll touch my arms and flowers grow there - poisonous and obscene"

"The gun smiles your smile
the razor whishpers your name"

"Lovely body, twisted into code
saying something, profound I'm sure"

"Here is a boy with paper skin who longs to touch the girl of broken glass
she loves it when he wears his skin like that - in tatters"

PxDx > all

When I think of heaven
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
I think of flying down in your sea of pens and feathers
And all other instruments of faith and sex and God
In the belly of a black-winged bird.

Sorry it's way longer than two... but I love it anyway.
