Hey Pandas, What's Your Favorite Song Lyric? (Closed)

Mine would be:
"They took my saddle in Houston
Broke my leg in Santa Fe
Lost my wife and a girlfriend
Somewhere along the way."
- George Strait, Amarillo by Mornin'.

You leave your clothes out, You put feet on my chair!
Oh, yeah? You such a**l things like ironing your underwear.
You make that very small apartment we share a hell!
So do you that’s why I’m in hell too!
What do you do with a B.A in English /It’s sucks to be me from Avenue Q

Please shine
shine your light on me
iIlluminate me
make me complete

Nova by VNV Nation

You don't have to be perfect, or never get sad, that's not what it means to be honey and glass
-Honey and Glass by Payton Cardoza

Once I built a railroad, made it run
Made it race against time
Once I built a railroad, and now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime

Once I built a tower to the sun
Brick and rivet and lime
Once I built a tower, now it's done
Brother can you spare a dime

Once in khaki suits, gee, we looked swell
Full of that Yankee doodle-di-dum
Half a million boots went slogging through hell
And I was the kid with the drum

Say, you don't remember, they called me Al
It was Al all the time
Say, don't you remember, I was your pal
Brother can you spare a dime

"Brother can you spare a dime"
A song written by Yip Harburg in 1932 during the great depression

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

One by one, only the good die young
They`re only frying to close to the sun

-"No one but you" by Queen

Everybody hurts sometimes. REM

"Lay beside me and tell me what they've done
And speak the words I wanna hear to make my demons run
The door is locked now but it's open if you're true
If you can understand the me then I can understand the you

Lay beside me, under wicked sky
Through black of day, dark of night, we share this, paralyzed
The door cracks open but there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still but there's no sun shining through
No there's no sun shining through, no there's no sun shining"

Metallica - The Unforgiven II

'Colour my life with the chaos of trouble'

The Boy With The Arab Strap - Belle & Sebastian

"Hold my hand but don't touch me" -I"m doing pushups by Bears In Trees

Why pamper life’s complexity
When the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat

This charming man by the smiths .
I’ve used this many times when I take the easier option

What doesn’t kill you makes you ugly
Life gives you lemons least it gave you something

"Baby, you're not alone, cause you're here with me, and nothing's ever gonna bring us down, 'cause nothing can keep me from loving you, and you know it's true. It don't matter what'll come to be. Our love is all we need to make it through."-Team Starkid, Not Alone.

I know the s**t you eat
There's nothing mellow in the
Drama you live and breathe
You like your secrets to be
Kept in the family
You don't get credit for your
Rare good behavior, go be a savior
You don't seem to get what I'm saying
And I'm sick and tired of explaining
Goodnight, goodbye, good luck
There's nothing worse than a
Ghoul manifesto, I'm not impressed though
The greatest conclusion
That I ever had
Was when I woke up
And said, "That's enough!"
Living never felt so bad
You don't accept it
And I don't care
Bury yourself
Above all your guilt
When you're ready it'll be there

Not Long For This World- Slipknot

I've been listening to Slipknot since the beginning. This song is from their latest album and it just hit so hard, especially with what was going on in my life at that time. I know this song and most of album is about Corey Taylors depression but dealing with my fake, lying, manipulative ex-wife this song really stood out to me. Like a lot couples it looked like we had everything form the outside but it was all turmoil and lies behind the curtain. When she went to prison is when I said "enough" and left.

It's cold outside
and the paint's peeling off of my walls.......

Are Friends Electric?

It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette
Now the light fades out
And I'm wondering what I'm doing in a room like this
There's a knock on the door
And just for a second I thought I remembered you
So now I'm alone
Now I can think for myself
About little deals
And issues
And things that I just don't understand
Like a white lie that night
Or a slight touch at times
I don't think it meant anything to you
So I open the door
It's the 'friend' that I'd left in the hallway
"Please sit down"
A candle lit a shadow on a wall near the bed
You know I hate to ask
But, are 'friends' electric?
Mine's broke down
And now I've no one to love
So I find out your reason
For the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts
And I'm lonely
And I should never have tried
And I missed you tonight
So it's time to leave
You see this means everything to me

I thought love was dead, but now you're changing my mind.

Stereo Hearts - Gym Class Heros

"The arc of a love affair, his hands rolling down her hair. Love like lightning, shaking till it moans… Hearts and Bones." (...) "You take two bodies and you twirl them into one, their hearts and their bones can't be undone." Hearts and Bones by Paul Simon. It's intense and romantic and epic, displays that when everything else is boiled away, love can be souls and bodies, heat and passion and forgetting pain.

The sun rose on the courtyard
and they all did hear him say
"You always was a Judas,
but I got you anyway.
You may have got your silver
but I swear upon my life
your sister gave me diamonds
and I gave them to your wife."
--Dire Straits "The Man's too Strong
