I always pay attention to lyrics and love to hear some good ones. So post some great lyrics in a few songs. Be sure to label it!

Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism

I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
When the water filled every hole.
And thousands upon thousands made an ocean,
Making islands where no island should go.

Snow Patrol - Headlights

For once I want to be the car crash
Not always just the traffic jam
Hit me hard enough to wake me
And lead me wild to your dark roads

Glass 'a orange juice and a bowl 'a cheese grits

Paper Cut by Linkin Park

Why does it feel like night today?
Something in hereâs not right today
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoiaâs all I got left

I donât know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head

Itâs like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
(And watches everything)
So I know that when itâs time to sink or swim
That the face inside is here in me, right underneath my skin

(Chorus)
Itâs like Iâm paranoid looking over my back
Itâs like a whirlwind inside of my head
Itâs like I canât stop what Iâm hearing within
Itâs like the face inside is right beneath my skin

I know Iâve got a face in me
Points out all my mistakes to me
Youâve got a face on the inside too
Your paranoiaâs probably worse

I donât know what set me off first but I know what I canât stand
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
I canât add up to what you can




But everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when they close my eyes
A face watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
(And watches everything)
So you know that when itâs time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching you too right inside your skin

(Chorus)
Itâs like Iâm paranoid looking over my back
Itâs like a whirlwind inside of my head
Itâs like I canât stop what Iâm hearing within
Itâs like the face inside is right beneath the skin

Itâs like Iâm paranoid looking over my back
Itâs like a whirlwind inside of my head
Itâs like I canât stop what Iâm hearing within
Itâs like the face inside is right beneath my skin

The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin

The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me

(Chorus)
(The sun)
Itâs like Iâm paranoid looking over my back
Itâs like a whirlwind inside of my head
Itâs like I canât stop what Iâm hearing within
(I feel the light betray me)
Itâs like the face inside is right beneath the skin



(The sun)
Itâs like Iâm paranoid looking over my back
Itâs like a whirlwind inside of my head
Itâs like I canât stop what Iâm hearing within
(I feel the light betray me)
Itâs like I canât stop what Iâm hearing within
(The sun)
Itâs like I canât stop what Iâm hearing within
Itâs like the face inside is right beneath my skin

I'll post the first two verses of "Inflikted" by Cavalera Conspiracy
------
born from dust
in the gutters of this earth
maggots and leppers
is this hell or is this heaven?
the cursed, the damned
spreading hate across the land
no more pretending
destroy your seeds of envy

unleash the wicked
this hate is self-inflikted
deliver this torment
upon your final judgement
follow the storm
in the land of no return
itâs you, the scum
weâll kill until itâs done
-------

Check 'em out if you want ^_^

Sweet Child O Mine Guns N Roses
She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry


Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine


She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by


Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

Solo

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine

Paradise City Guns N Roses
CHORUS

Just a urchin livin under the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case so buy me something to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line

Rags to riches or so they say
Ya gotta keep pushin for the fortune and fame
It's all a gamble when it's just a game
Ya treat it like a capital crime
Everybody's doin the time

CHORUS:
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home

Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here I can't quite remember
The surgeon general says it's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette but I can't see
Tell me who you're gonna believe

CHORUS

So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away

Captain America's been torn apart
Now he's a court jester with a broken heart
He said Turn me around and take me back to the start
I must be losing my mind "are you blind?"
I've seen it all a million times

CHORUS

Here's a great one!
The White Stripes - The Denial Twist

If you think that a kiss is all in the lips
C'mon, you got it all wrong, man
And if you think that our dance was all in the hips
Oh well, then do the twist
If you think holding hands is all in the fingers
Grab hold of the soul where the memory lingers and
Make sure to never do it with a singer
Cause they'll tell everyone in the world

But he was thinking about the girl
Yeah, but he's thinking about the girl, oh

A lot of people get confused and they bruise
Real easy when it comes to love
They start putting on their shoes and walking out
And singing "boy, I think I had enough"

Just because she makes a big rumpus
She don't mean to be mean or hurt you on purpose, boy
Take a tip and do yourself a little service
Take a mountain turn it into a mole

Just by playing a different role
Yeah, by playing a different role, oh

The boat yeah you know she's rockin' it
And the truth well you know there's no stoppin' it

The boat yeah you know she's still rockin' it
The truth well you know there's no stoppin' it

So what, somebody left you in a rut
And wants to be the one who's in control
But the feeling that you're under can really make you wonder
How the hell she could be so cold

So now you're left, denying the truth
And it's getting in the wisdom in the back of your tooth
You need ta spit it out, in a telephone booth
While you call everyone that you know, and ask 'em

Where do you think she goes
Oh yeah, where d'ya suppose she goes, oh

The truth well you know there's no stoppin' it
And the boat well you know she's still rockin' it

The boat well you know she's still rockin' it
And the truth yeah you know there's no stoppin' it

You recognize with your back in the back?
That it's colder when she rocks the boat
But it's the cause hittin on the Cardinal Laws?
'bout the proper place to hang her coat

So to you, the truth is still hidden
And the soul plays the role of a lost little kitten but
You should know that the doctors weren't kidding
She's been singing it all along

But you were hearin' a different song
Ya you were hearin' a different song
But you were hearin' a different song

Slayer-Dead Skin Mask

Graze the skin with my finger tips
The brush of dead cold flesh pacifies the means
Provocative images delicate features so smooth
A pleasant fragrance in the light of the moon

CHORUS
Dance with the dead in my dreams
Listen to their hallowed screams
The dead have taken my soul
Temptation's lost all control

Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes
Lose all mind control rationale declines
Empty eyes enslave the creations
Of placid faces and lifeless pageants

In the depths of a mind insane
Fantasy and reality are the same

Graze the skin with my finger tips
The brush of dead warm flesh pacifies the means
Incised members ornaments on my being
Adulating the skin before me

Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes
Lose all mind control rationale declines
Empty eyes enslave the creations
Of placid faces and lifeless pageants

CHORUS

A.D.D. (American Dream Denial) by SYSTEM OF A DOWN

We fought your wars with all our hearts,
You sent us back in body parts,
You took our wills with the truth you stole,
We offer prayers for your long lost soul,

The remainder is,
An unjustifiable, egotistical, power struggle,
At the expense of the American Dream,
Of the American dream, of the American,
Of the American,

We donÂ't give a damn about your world, With all your global profits and all your jeweled pearls, We donÂ't give a damn about your world, Right now, right now, We donÂ't give a fuck about your world,
With all your global profits, and all your jeweled pearls,
We donÂ't give a fuck about your world,
Right now, right now.

There is no flag that is large enough,
To hide the shame of a man in cuffs,
You switched the signs then you closed our blinds,
You changed the channel then you changed our minds.

You bring about the stick, We bring about the confusion,
Bring about the solution, Bring about the fusion,
Bring about the collusion, Bring about revolution,
Bring about revolution, Bring it about,

We donÂ't give a damn about your world,
With all your global profits and all your jeweled pearls,
We donÂ't give a damn about your world,
Right now, right now,

We donÂ't give a fuck about your world,
With all your global profits, and all your jeweled pearls,
We donÂ't give a fuck about your world,
Right now, right now, right now, right now.

No flag large enough, Shame on a man in cuffs, You closed our blinds.

The remainder is,
An unjustifiable, egotistical, power struggle,
At the expense of the American Dream,
Of the American dream, of the American,
Of the American,

We donÂ't give a damn about your world,
With all your global profits and all your jeweled pearls,
We donÂ't give a damn about your world,
Right now, right now,

We donÂ't give a fuck about your world,
With all your global profits, and all your jeweled pearls,
We donÂ't give a fuck about your world,
Right now, right now, right now, right now,
Right now, right now, right now,

"Never Wanted To Dance"

There is nothing you can do that I have not already done to myself,
There is nothing you can do that I have not already done to myself,
There is nothing you can DO that I have not already done to myself,
Oh no, there is nothing you can do that I have not already done to myself!

Never wanted to dance with nobody, not you!
Never wanted to dance with nobody but you,
Never wanted to dance with nobody but you--
wouldn't take "no" for an answer, you f***ing b***h!

Be nice!
Be nice to me,
Don't ever be--
Be nice!
Be nice to me,
Don't let me go! (don't let me go)
I am too cool for the second...GRADE!
I'm amazed!
I'm afraid!
I am too cool for the second..GRADE!
There is nothing!--
You can do!--
That I have not already done to myself...HEY!

There is nothing you can do that I have not already done to myself,
There is nothing you can do that I have not already done to myself,
There is nothing you can do that I have not already done to myself,
No, there is nothing you can do that I have not already done to myself!

Never wanted to dance with nobody, not you!
Never wanted to dance with nobody but you,
Never wanted to dance with nobody but you--
wouldn't take "no" for an answer, you f***ing b***h!

Be nice!
Be nice to me--
Don't ever be,
Be nice!
Be nice to me,
Don't let me go (don't let me go)

I think that this is a great song.


You and Me by Lifehouse

What day is it
and in what month
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up
and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

'Cause it's you and me
and all other people
With nothing to do, nothing to lose
and it's you and me
and all other people
and I don't know why
I can't deep my eyes off of you

What other things that I want to say
just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

'Cause it's you and me
and all other people
with nothing to do nothing to prove
and it's you and me
and I don't know why
but I can't keep my eyes off of you

There's something about you know
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beutiful
Everything she does is right

'Cause it's you and me
and all other people
with nothing to do nothing to loose
and it's you and me
and and all other people
and I don't know why
but I can't keep my eyes off of
You and me and all other people
with nothing to do nothing to prove
and it's you and me and all other people
and I don't know why
but I can't keep my eyes off of you

What day is it
and in what month
this clock never seemed so alive

I know you're not on here but that's for you Alison.

Here's mine:

-Sugar, We're Going Down by Fall Out Boy.

Am I more than you bargained for yet
I've been dying to tell you anything you want to hear
Cause that's just who I am this week
Lie in the grass, next to the mausoleum
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(A notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)

Drop a heart, break a name
We're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team

We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
[x2]

Is this more than you bargained for yet
Oh don't mind me I'm watching you two from the closet
Wishing to be the friction in your jeans
Isn't it messed up how I'm just dying to be him
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(Notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)

Drop a heart, break a name
We're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team

We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
[x2]

Down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

We're going down, down in an earlier round (Take aim at myself)
And Sugar, we're going down swinging (Take back what you said)
I'll be your number one with a bullet (Take aim at myself)
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

We're going down, down (down, down)
Down, down (down, down)
We're going down, down (down, down)
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

We're going down, down in an earlier round (Take aim at myself)
And Sugar, we're going down swinging (Take back what you said)
I'll be your number one with a bullet (Take aim at myself)
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it


I love this song.

the foo fighters-monkey wrench

what have we done with innocence?
it disappeared with time and never made much sense

later in the song

all this time to make amends
what do you do when all your enemies are friends?
now and then I'll try to bend,
under pressure wind up snapping in the end.

Michael Jackson ~ Man in the Mirror
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Michael Jackson ~ Earth Song
What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain...
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores?
...
What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores
...
I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Michael Jackson ~ Tabloid Junkie
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual
