What are some of your favourite lyrics and the songs they’re from?

 

“She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom"
The only Heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I’m alone with you”

Take Me to Church- Hozier

 

Fat bottomed girls, you make the rockin' world go round


Fat bottom girls.

 

“Your love’s in the gutter,
Your sperm’s in the sink.”

Thick as a Brick - Jethro Tull

 

I'm an atheist but I love the lyrics to Battle Hymn of the Republic,

 

“Why is the bedroom so cold turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed, our respect run so dry?

Love will tear us apart : Joy Division

 

I know this song is overplayed but I still love it. It's about being yourself unapologetically, in a world of cliques and conformity. Oh, for those who DON'T know, it's Metallica.

 

In the Kinks' 'Lola' Ray Davies wrote the greatest ambiguous lyric in all of rock history (IMO, of course).

"Well, I'm not the world's most masculine man, but I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man and so is Lola."

So... is Lola glad - or a man?

 

Here are some..

Bad Omens

Death of piece of mind

You come and go in waves
Leaving me in your wake
You come and go in waves
Swallowing everything

Just Pretend

Would you say I'm worthy?

Dethrone

Here am I, take me to the pearly gates
So I can look you in the eye when I spit in your face
Here am I, take me to the pearly gates
Don't let 'em hit you on the way out when I take your place

I Prevail

Bow Down

You better recognize
You wanna talk that shit, time to back it up
'Cause the best of your best ain't good enough
Playing with my name, now I know you really fucked up
Keep runnin' your mouth and I'ma call your bluff

Lacuna Coil

Never Dawn

Ignite the fire in your heart
Close to impossible
Stand up and overcome the invisible
Get down to the core
Be brave
And I will be there waiting for you

 

Locked and loaded
Still the same old decent lazy eyes
Fixed through your gaze
That's why I said I relate
I said we really
Need to fight to relate
It's the room the sun and the sky
The room the sun and the sky

Silversun pickups - Lazyeyes

 

I also can not forget the most influential lyrics of all time..

C is for cookie, that's good enough for me
C is for cookie, that's good enough for me
C is for cookie, that's good enough for me
Oh, cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C

CookieMonster

 

Well this place is old
It feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine but the engine wouldn't turn

It smells of cheap wine and cigarettes
This place is always such a mess
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn

One Headlight - The Wallflowers

 

If you waste your time a talking
To the people who don't listen
To the things that you are saying
Who do you thinks gonna hear?
And if you should die explaining how
The things that they complain about
Are things they could be changing
Who do you thinks gonna care?

Kris Kristofferson, “To beat the devil”

 

“Now you don't need that money
With a face like that, do ya?”

Are You Gonna Be My Girl - Jet

 

Senzafine - Lacuna Coil

Italian version

Madre

Il mio destino scelgo
Se riesco a resistere

Sono ancora in piedi in questo istante di pura follia
non so piu' se desiderare il bene o il male
anche se il peccato forse piu' mi da'

Da adesso ormai che senso ha
Opporre resistenza a un destino segnato
Non restero a guardare senza
Riuscire a resisterti
Risvegliarmi

Madre

Il mio destino scelgo
Se riesco a resistere

Risvegliami

Non c'e scelta senza me
Non c'e vita senza me

English translation

Mother

I choose my destiny
If I can resist

I'm still standing in this moment of pure madness
I no longer know whether to desire good or evil
even if sin perhaps gives me more

Now what's the point?
Resist a sealed destiny
I won't stand by without it
Being able to resist you
Waking up

Mother

I choose my destiny
If I can resist

Wake me up

There is no choice without me
There is no life without me

 

Last night I tried to tease her
I gave my love a little pinch
She said now stop that jivin'
Now whip out your big ten inch

 

The song Clay Pigeons.
Written by Blaze Foley

It's melancholy, About feeling lonely.
I don't know why it "speaks" to me.

I'm goin' down to the Greyhound Station, gonna buy a ticket to ride
Gonna find that lady with two or three kids and sit down by her side
Ride 'til the sun comes up and down around me 'bout two or three times
Smokin' cigarettes in the last seat
Sing this song for the people I meet
And get along with it all
Go where the people say "y'all"
Sing a song with a friend
Change the shape that I'm in,
And get back in the game,
And start playin' again
I'd like to stay but I might have to go to start over again
I might go back down to Texas,
Might go to somewhere that I've never been
And get up in the mornin' and go out at night
And I won't have to go home
Get used to bein' alone
Change the words to this song
And start singin' again
I'm tired of runnin' 'round lookin' for
Answers to questions that I already know
I could build me a castle with memories just to have somewhere to go
Count the days and the nights that it
Takes to get back in the saddle again
Feed the pigeons some clay
Turn the night into day
And start talkin' again, when I know what to say
I'm goin' down to the Greyhound Station, gonna buy a ticket to ride
Gonna find that lady with two or three kids and sit down by her side
Ride 'til the sun comes up and down around me 'bout two or three times
Smokin' cigarettes in the last seat
Sing my song for the people I meet
And get along with it all
Where the people say "y'all"
Feed the pigeons some clay
Turn the night into day
Start talkin' again
When I know what to say

 

Scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there
Did you get to be a star
Don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are

 

Lacuna Coil - Ghost in the Mist

I'm a ghost in the mist (It's my life)
My life slips away
I wander and see
I don't make any sounds
I'm lost in the mist
And I sure lead the way
Locked in by my fears
With my knees on the ground

Lacuna Coil - Humane XX

You walk on by
without feeling to your stroll
You walk alone
Compromise
it’s just another contradiction
you’re not alone
There’s a place
you’ve run away
that is in your heart
it is in your heart
In your heart
Your love again

Your hell is when you dream
and I’m awake

Lacuna Coil - Black Feathers

I want to know
What's inside
I cut her open
She doesn't bleed out
Like a river
She has run dry
I try to grab her
She turns away
She turns away
I can't believe that she's not real
She's all I ever wanted
No one can hear the whispering
She keeps on drifting away

I can't let go
She gets me high
She's just a shadow
But feels so alive
Like a vision
In my eyes
I try to grab her
She fades away

Lacuna Coil - Victims

will not stand in line
Victims have fallen in vain
Frozen hearts
Empty eyes
We've seen it all before
We will not stand in line
Victims have fallen in vain
Mother's tears
Vicious eyes
We've seen it all before

I don't want to hear no more
The rotten lies I heard before
Never break me down again
I cannot burn inside this hell

Vengeance
I think it's taking over me

Vengeance
You'll never run away from me

 

Bad Omens -Hell I overcame

If you are cast out
What's your next move gonna be
Will you return cold
Or will you turn up the heat
(God please forgive those who doubt me)
Did you really think the pain
Would send me to an early grave
Did you think I couldn't break these chains
After all the hell I overcame
God please forgive those who doubt me, forgot about me
Then throw them down into the flames

Bad Omens - Malice

What's the point? What's the fucking point in any of this
If when we make it to the grave, everyone just forgets?
What's the point? What's the fucking point in any of this
If when we make it to the grave, no one gives a shit!?

Bad Omens - Never Know

When I go out into the world
I just don't like what I see
You could call it Paradise
But it looks just like Hell to me

Bad Omens - Exit Wounds

I've learned a lot, but it took me too long
To find out who I am and to prove you wrong
How can you live before you die
When you're already dead on the inside?
