do you have any HIGH quality lyrics you'd like to share, lyrics with a meaning or just lyrics you like a lot ...
I have a few songs I'd like to share, post youtube videos with lyrics if possible, it is nice to listen to the song as well, not only to read lyrics and the videos with lyrics usually don't get blocked ... you can also post your favorite lines from the songs under the utube video, or in spoiler tags, do as you wanna ... I just thought that we should have a thread full of great lyrics, so let's see if people here know any
SO
David Bowie - Cygnet Committee (unfuckingbelievable) - click on Show More
- Spoiler: show
- Favorite Lines :
And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain
For I once read a book in which the lovers were slain
For they knew not the words of the Free States' refrain
It said:
"I believe in the Power of Good
I Believe in the State of Love
I Will Fight For the Right to be Right
I Will Kill for the Good of the Fight for the Right to be Right"
the Velvet Underground - All Tomorrow's Parties
- Spoiler: show
- no favorite lines here, but the lyrics as a whole have a great meaning!
Sham 69 - If The Kids Are United (not metaphorically written in any way, but fuck, it makes me feel sooo good)
- Spoiler: show
- Favorite Lines :
Freedom is given
Speak how you feel
I have no freedom
How do you feel
They can lie to my face
But not to my heart
If we all stand together
It will just be the start
If the kids are united then we'll never be divided
If the kids are united then we'll never be divided
Television - Marquee Moon (I'll post lyrics in the spoiler tags)
- Spoiler: show
- I remember
how the darkness doubled
I recall
lightning struck itself.
I was listening
listening to the rain
I was hearing
hearing something else.
Life in the hive puckered up my night,
the kiss of death, the embrace of life.
There I stand neath the Marquee Moon
Just waiting,
Hesitating...
I ain't waiting
I spoke to a man
down at the tracks.
I asked him
how he don't go mad.
He said "Look here junior, don't you be so happy.
And for Heaven's sake, don't you be so sad."
Well a Cadillac
it pulled out of the graveyard.
Pulled up to me
all they said get in.
Then the Cadillac
it puttered back into the graveyard.
And me,
I got out again.
