You see me and my homies like to play this game
We call it Amtrak but some call it the train

Overnight thugs bug cuz they ain't promised ****
Hungry *** hooligans stay on that piranha ****

And you come away with a great little story
of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you

Re: Favorite Song Lyrics

Kanye West - All Falls Down

I say **** the police, thats how I treat em
We buy our way out of jail, but we can't buy freedom
We'll buy a lot of clothes when we don't really need em
Things we buy to cover up what's inside
Cause they made us hate ourself and love they wealth
That's why shortys hollering "where the ballas' at?"
Drug dealer buy Jordans, crackhead buy crack
And a white man get paid off of all of that
But I ain't even gon act holier than thou
Cause **** it, I went to Jacob with 25 thou
Before I had a house and I'd do it again
Cause I wanna be on 106 and Park pushing a Benz
I wanna act ballerific like it's all terrific
I got a couple past due bills, I won't get specific
I got a problem with spending before I get it
We all self conscious I'm just the first to admit it

Little Brother - Can't Win For Losing

[Phonte:]
I used to do it for the fans
'Til I realized that they'd never understand
What I was feelin as a man, fickle as Trav' Bickle
They either hatin you or they they'll stand
Then I said I'd do it for my fam
'Til I realized that they didn't give a damn
I stepped out of they comfort zone
Now I can't step, can't step inside my mother's home
Situation so nuts
So much for tryin to be a man
Then I said I'd do it for the props
'Til I realized that the props always seem to stop
When n****s can't keep you all to they self
Take you home, put you in they little box
Then I said I'd do it for my city
'Til I realized that I shoulda been warned
I stepped inside the ring, rockin my best apparel
Ma, I own the sparrow, but this torero
Couldn't take the bull city by the horns
So now I'm back on my me ****
Cause me and my team gon' make it do what it do
Had a long hard talk with my ***** Jazzy Jeff
He said, "**** 'em 'Te, do it for you! "
So I'm doin it to
Lay up, lay back, in my room with a view
Wanna handle my biz on the low, keep it respectable
Make my music, keep it professional
I know you hate it, what the **** else is new?

Kanye West Ft. Jay Z - Diamonds From Sierra Leone (Remix)

[Jay-Z:]
The chain remians, the gang is in tact
The name is mine, I'll take blame for that
The pressure's on, but guess who ain't gon' crack? (laughs)
Pardon me I had to laugh at that
How could you falter when you're the rock of gibralter
I had to get off the boat so I could walk on water
This ain't no tour order, this is nothin to me
Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week
I do this in my sleep,
I sold Kilos of coke, (so?) I'm guessin' I can sell CD's
I'm not a buisness man I'm a buisness, man
Let me handle my buisness, damn!
Kanyeez you got me, Freeway and Foxy
YG', Teairra Mari, Petey watch me
Bleek could be one hit away his whole career
As long as I'm alive, he's a millionaire
And even if I die, he's in my will somewhere
So he can just kick back and chill somewhere, oh yeah
He don't even have to write rhymes
The Dynasty like my money last three lifetimes
Shirley Bassey was in the rear sayin exactly
What I was sayin practically my whole carreer
The diamond is forever, I been mindin' this forever
Now the Louis Vuitton Don's timin' couldn't be better
People lined up to see the Titanic sinkin'
Instead we rose from the ash like a phoenix
If you waitin for the end, the dynasty signed
And what seemed like forever is a mighty long time

Re: Favorite Song Lyrics

This is just off the top of my head as I coincidentally heard it on shuffle not five minutes ago, but I love the chorus in 3 Doors Down - It's the Only One You've Got:

You hide behind your walls of maybe nevers
Forgetting that there's something more than just knowing better
Your mistakes do not define you now, they tell you who you're not
You've got to live this life you're given like it's the only one you've got

[roadman]

Re: Favorite Song Lyrics

Old school here.

I don't care what the meaning is, I just like how Plant allows the lyrics to go with the flow of the song.

No song intro needed.

Theres a lady whos sure
All that glitters is gold
And shes buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and shes buying a stairway to heaven.

Theres a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
Theres a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

Theres a feeling I get
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who standing looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And its whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.

If theres a bustle in your hedgerow
Dont be alarmed now,
Its just a spring clean for the may queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
Theres still time to change the road youre on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it wont go
In case you dont know,
The pipers calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How evrything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

And shes buying a stairway to heaven.

Re: Favorite Song Lyrics

(no title needed)

She's a very kinky girl
The kind you don't take home to mother
She will never let your spirits down
Once you get her off the street, ow girl
She likes the boys in the band
She says that I'm her all-time favorite
When I make my move to her room it's the right time
She's never hard to please
{Refrain}
That girl is pretty wild now
The girl's a super freak
The kind of girl you read about
In new-wave magazine
That girl is pretty kinky
The girl's a super freak
I really love to taste her
Every time we meet
She's all right, she's all right
That girl's all right with me, yeah
She's a super freak, super freak
She's super-freaky, yow
Super freak, super freak
She's a very special girl
The kind of girl you want to know
From her head down to her toenails
Down to her feet, yeah
And she'll wait for me at backstage with her girlfriends
In a limousine
Going back in Chinatown
Three's not a crowd to her, she says
"Room 714, I'll be waiting"
When I get there she's got incense, wine and candles
It's such a freaky scene
{Refrain}
{Bridge}
Temptations sing!
Ohhhhh
Super freak, super freak
That girl's a super freak
Ohhhhh
She's a very kinky girl
The kind you don't take home to mother
She will never let your spirits down
Once you get her off the street, ow girl
Blow, Danny!

Re: Favorite Song Lyrics

Just a quick snippet of some lyrics I thought were well written.

Talking Heads - Psycho Killer

"I can't sleep cause my beds on fire"

Love that line, fits well with the song.

[SuperBowlNachos]

Re: Favorite Song Lyrics

Randy Rogers Band - In My Arms Instead

Cause you, you’ve been on my mind
And I wish you were here
Beside me tonight lying in this bed
Cause I, I’m just not the same
I walk down these streets; I swear I hear your name
But it’s just in my head
I wish you were in my arms instead

Re: Favorite Song Lyrics

Bush - Little things

"I die in your arms, if you were dead too. Here comes a lie, we will always be true"

Re: Favorite Song Lyrics

Poor folk scrape dollars spend the last of their income tax on Impalas with the SS.
Church give awards to the best dressed,
Pastor drive a Bentley got me thinking I was less blessed
cuz I let a middle man. He was cappin what I'm asking,
I don't understand,
how you fit that many rings on a "helping hand"?
Tired of deception but I'll pay his kid's tuition cuz I'm tryna get to heaven.
Ain't it crazy?
Scared to have a baby, how can I protect it from the same streets that made me?
Concrete Gladiator, bloodshed overflow
Real life, some places Russel Crowe will never go.
Pimp tight flossin, look at what it cost me.
Peace of mind, no sleep, late night tossin
and turnin, waiting for the end.
Pray to God forgive me for my sins, in 2000 and beyond.

Re: Favorite Song Lyrics

And if I did have a choice
I'd never want to live forever
Just let me have a voice so I can make my points
I can't imagine running a race with no finish line
Just let me keep my pace and make to most of my time
I love giving but I'm bad at receiving
The truth is, I'd prefer to be the one bleeding
But I'm a paranoid that stays between play and work
Cautious and aware, 'cause I'm afraid of being hurt
Which brings me to the issue
And that would be this:
How often must I ask myself why I exist?
I feel like a freak, this world is a circus
Just trying to find myself as well as my purpose



Damn I wish that she was mine but time and time over the discretion
On my right shoulder whispers to my ear
Advising me to admire from way over here, play the rear
And struggle for the view to clear
It's been 2 years and quite a few beers
Too many loose tears and a few souveniers
And if she only knew, how long I've waited for her
How her smiles enough to make my winter warmer
If she knew the way she walks could take away my storm
She'd probably call the cops and get a restraining order
As much as I hate myself, I hate you more
But I still smile when you come through that door
And as much as I hate my life, I hate yours too
Just can't seem to teach myself to ignore you
This is for the ladies, not every lady
Just the ones that drive me crazy, the ones that scream SAVE ME
I wanna thank y'all for everything you gave me


Atmosphere - Abusing Of The Rib (simply amazing)

I wanna follow the footprints across my lovers stomach
I wanna call out her name before I plummet
I wish I had a map of the terrain so I could step around the landmines
avoid the beasts under the bed that breathe they bad-times
I wanna find these here so called treasures
the pleasures the trinkets the never ending weekends
acknowledging that I'm still just a piece of the sequence
but seeing these different footprints got me needin' to show my weekness
time lines, the time zones
I cross them with my eyes closed
memorize the landmarks and learn the cycles
the weather patterns how the seasons effect
the east and the west of each region learned the cylces
forget about the fact that
many trails have been tracked
maybe it's a plus that theres a path
if this was some uncharted land I'd have to be a smarter man
willing to travel the farthest to unravel the harvest
the natural resources are unlimited
exploration only requires some desire and initiative
take your time to find the right way to climb
it ain't safe to play games with Nature's mind

if I could show you, you would never leave it
and if I could show you, you would never leave it
if I could show you, you would never leave it
and if I could show you, you would never leave it
if I could show you, you would never leave it
and if I could show you, you would never

I wanna ride a train up my lover's arm
destination the brain
an climb out an find out what's going on
cut through trees and ride through rocks
and synchronize the universal sun dial to my watch
I've seen a lot
but not quite as much as her
to top it off the memory and her imagination blurr
I know she's been put through hell
I can feel it
and I know she's touched heaven as well
trying to steal it
it came on, it taught her a song
it strung her along and it caught her when the guard was gone
now to the break-of-dawn she's wants to feel that fix
and all the family and friends is tryin to seal them lips
I'm not dumb
I can hear that train come from miles away
I'm settin obstacles to stop the arrival
I'm gonna blow up tha iron an wood road
from what I understood those be the orafice of her survival
my recital yet another tantrum
because she's highly excitable swinging moods at random
no happy endings always off to a bad start
addictive voyeurism to the track marks

and if I could show you, you would never leave it
and if I could show you, you would never leave it
and if I could show you, you would never leave it
and if I could show you, you would never leave it
and if I could show you, you would never leave it
and if I could show you, you would never leave it (never)
and if I could show you, you would never leave it (none)
and if I could show you, you would never leave it
and if I could show you, you would never leave it
and if I could show you, you would never

Re: Favorite Song Lyrics

Trivium - Into the Mouth of Hell We March. Such an awesome story.

"Can't you see, it's not only me
That feels we're linked to the seas
Make your way to a massive grave
If you can't fight for each day

Torrential rain at the helm of death
It drowns the weak, battering the rest
Black walls of waves pummel to capsize
The roaring thunder overshadows our cries

Spires of lightning thrown down from the gods
Melting skin even in the deluge
The mast is broken (The mast is broken)
Hull is splitting (Hull is splitting)
Dear god the ******* ship is sinking

I will try to pour all of myself into this life
Before I die

Such turmoil, let's make the blood boil
Make your time count or rot as the soil
Life is hard, a ******* battle
The time is now and here's your drum roll

Torrential rain at the helm of death
It drowns the weak, battering the rest
Black walls of waves pummel to capsize
The roaring thunder overshadows our cries

Spires of lightning thrown down from the gods
Melting skin even in the deluge
The mast is broken (The mast is broken)
Hull is splitting (Hull is splitting)
Dear god the ******* ship is sinking

I will try to pour all of myself into this life
Before I die
If I go before my time
Then take these words evermore into your life


We crawl out from the wreckage
Fingers dig into the sands (of the shores)
Everything we worked for
Is ripped apart and ruined, drowned
Deep beneath our dying world
The earth begins to open up

Into the mouth of hell we march
Into the mouth of hell
Into the mouth of hell
We march
Into the mouth of hell we march
Into the mouth of hell
Into the mouth of hell
We march

Now you see, for it is we
Who walk the fire and breathe
Make our way out of the grave
And lick the blood from our blades

Spires of lightning thrown down from the gods
Melting skin even in the deluge
The mast is broken (The mast is broken)
Hull is splitting (Hull is splitting)
Dear god the ******* ship is sinking

I will try to pour all of myself into this life
Before I die
If I go before my time
Then take these words evermore into your life

I will try to pour all of myself into this life
Before I die
If I go before my time
Then take these words evermore into your life"

^ I <3 Trivium.

Scars on Broadway - "They Say"

There's a prison that's gone, but the fear lives on
I watched you walking on the dotted line
Maybe you don't see what's in front of me
Maybe you won't stand the test of time
For we live in sin, for we will win
I watched the president kiss his family
For we live in sin, for we will win
I watched the president **** society

If you were me, could you defend
The given rights to all the men?
Let's **** the world with all it's trend
They say it's all about to end...

Re: Favorite Song Lyrics

Good thread bump.

so here I am, above palm trees so straight and tall
you are smaller, getting smaller but I still see you

"is somethin' wrong?" she said
well, of course there is
"you're still alive," she said
oh and do I deserve to be?
is that the question?
and if so, if so
who answers?
who answers?

Alice In Chains - Rain When I Die:
-
Is She Ready To Know My Frustration?
What She Slippin' Inside, Slow Castration
I'm A Riddle So Strong, You Can't Break Me
Did She Come Here To Try, Try To Take Me

Did She Call My Name?
I Think It's Gonna Rain
When I Die

-
Seether - No Jesus Christ
-
You're so quick to choose the path walked by the righteous
So you can go and nest among the weak
The innocent observers will refuse to find the lie within
Renew the disappointment of the meek

You're no Jesus Christ!
You're no Jesus Christ!

Hurt - Rapture
-
In the life of the wrong a love lingered on,
Love lingered on to frustration.
And if our love is so wrong, what should we do alone?
Or am I just a picture in a photograph?
Why are we stuck in this pantomime fearing a god who died?
One who would not deny lovers?
And I don't care what they say, if what you need is your faith,
Then take a look at my face and know

That till your rapture falls to pieces
Until your rapture falls to pieces
Find in me the room to breathe,
Simple things like suffering
Life had gone this way
Life is gone this way

Still in the life of the wrong we all moved along
Another life evolved to gestation
And so we made our way with the mistake we made
But she was just a picture from a photograph

So she walked in the baby's room
Knowing what she should do leave me in
Absolute horror
She put her hand on its lip she gave it
One last kiss
And sang some tune that went

Until your rapture falls to pieces
Till your rapture falls to pieces
Find in me the room to breathe,
Simple things are suffering

And I would and I would, destroy your god
Yes I would if I could destroy your god
Because you're born again
Until you're worn again,

Until your rapture falls to pieces
Till your rapture falls to pieces
Find in me the room to breathe,
Sinful things like suffering
Till your rapture falls to pieces
Till your rapture falls to pieces

But, if this must be, then burn with me
Anything
Just don't leave
So find in me the room to breathe
Sinful things like suffering
Till your rapture falls to pieces

She swore she heard the voice of Jesus
Telling her it was wrong to keep it
And one more thing, it looked like me
Back when it breathed
Rest in peace
Until the rapture comes to meet us

Re: Favorite Song Lyrics

That what you fear the most, can meet you halfway

-Pearl Jam, Crazy Mary

With my feet upon the ground,
I lose myself between the sounds and open wide to suck it in.
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out.
I'm reaching for the random or whatever will bewilder me,
whatever will bewilder me.

And following our will and wind,
we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.
Spiral out. Keep going.
Spiral out. Keep going.
Spiral out. Keep going.
Spiral out. Keep going.

-Tool, Lateralus
