Wats your all time favorite lyrics?
You guys are probably too young to know this, but Simon & Garfunkel's Greatest Hits was the best of all time for best lyrics. Probably THE best was a song called 'America', also 'Homeward Bound', ''The Boxer' and 'The Sound of Silence'.
The Sound of Silence
Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turn my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never shared No one dared Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools," said I, "you do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls And whispered in the sound of silence
30 seconds to mars-the kill
What if I wanted to break Laugh it all off in your face What would you do?(Oh,Oh,Oh,Oh) What if I fell to the floor Couldn't take this anymore What would you do, do, do?
Come, break me down Bury me, Bury me I am finished with you
What if I wanted to fight Beg for the rest of my life. What would you do?(Do,do) You say you wanted more What are you waiting for I'm not running from you (from you)
Come, break me down Bury me, bury me I am finished with you Look in my eyes You're killing me, killing me All I wanted was you
I tried to be someone else But nothing seemed to change I know now: this is who I really am inside I Finally found myself Fighting for a chance I know now, THIS IS WHO I REALLY AM
Oh oh Oh oh Oh oh
Come, break me down Bury me, bury me I am finished with you, you, you Look in my eyes You're killing me, killing me All I wanted was you Come, break me down Break me down Break me down
What if I wanted to break...? (You say you wanted more, what are you waiting for? (bury me) I'm not running from you...) What if I, what if I, what if I... (bury me, bury me)
My Way
And now, the end is near; And so I face the final curtain. My friend, Ill say it clear, Ill state my case, of which Im certain.
I've lived a life thats full. I've traveled each and evry highway; And more, much more than this, I did it my way.
Regrets, I've had a few; But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course; Each careful step along the byway, But more, much more than this, I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew. But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out. I faced it all and I stood tall; And did it my way.
I've loved, I've laughed and cried. I've had my fill; my share of losing. And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that; And may I say - not in a shy way, No, oh no not me, I did it my way.
For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught. To say the things he truly feels; And not the words of one who kneels. The record shows I took the blows - And did it my way!
"Twilight" by Elliott Smith
Haven't laughed this hard in a long time I better stop now before I start crying go off to sleep in the sunshine I don't want to see the day when it's dying
she's a sight to see, she's good to me I'm already somebody's baby she's a pretty thing and she knows everything but I'm already somebody's baby
you don't deserve to be lonely but those drugs you got won't make you feel better pretty soon you'll find it's the only little part of your life you're keeping together
I'm nice to you, I could make it through that you're already somebody's baby I could make you smile if you stayed a while but how long will you stay with me baby
because your candle burns too bright well, I almost forgot it was twilight even if I think that you are right well, I'm tired of being down, I got no fight
you're wonderful, when it's beautiful but I'm already somebody's baby and if I went with you I'd disappoint you too well, I'm already somebody's baby already somebody's baby
people are strange by: THe Doors
Theyre an old band from the 60s
"people are strange when youre a stranger faces look ugly when youre alone
women seem wicked when youre alone
when youre strange faces come out of the rain no one remembers your name when youre strange when youre straaange"
thats all I feel like writing, you dont get the full effect without the music too.
any thing fall out boy,especially: I dont care sugar were going down coffees fr closers where is your boy tonight dance,dance w.a.m.s. 7 minutes in heaven ... thts all I can think of rite now...
Hey annaneedshelp, at least you picked a great group. Everything from the '60's was great! Kids, these days, really missed out if they haven't heard anything from then.
I've heard and do listen to songs from the 60's. as well as the 70's, and 80's. Right now, I have to say "Take Me Home Tonight" by Eddie Money.
Evanscence-Bring me to life and taylor swift-crazier(I know this is a new song but I cant stop listening to it!!) lol!
"The wicked oppressing, now cease from distressing...sing praises to His name, He forgets NOT His own." Amen !!
the best music ever is by "Hollywood Undead" it's rap and their best songs are Every where I go and undead.
Like a rolling stone by bob dylan. Still my favorite lyrics to a song of all time.
