Great Lyric Phrases

White Rabbit- Jefferson Airplane

One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small,
And the ones that Mother gives you don't do anything at all.
Go ask Alice when she's ten feet tall.
And if you go chasing rabbits, and you know you're going to fall,
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar has given you the call.
Call Alice when she was just small.
When the men on the chess board get up and tell you where to go,
And you've just had some kind of mushroom, and your mind is moving low,
Go ask Alice. I think she'll know.
When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead,
And the white knight is talking backward, and the red queen's off with her head,
Remember what the doormouse said: "Feed your head! Feed your head!"

Trippy lyrics, but it's even more enhanced by Grace Slick's amazing vocals.

[b][i] :huh: ....who the BLUE HELL are you, my grand-papa?

Jefferson Airplane? HA! What's next from you, "High Falootin' Woman" by Grand Funk Railroad? HA! AGAIN!

In any case, I was always fond of a lyric by one of the greatest caucasoids to EVER pick up an accoustic guitar and RIP it's little strats to it's fullest POE-TIN-C-AL.....

Dave Matthews. The lyric is a question that hast plagued Man for a decade and twain, if not longer: "Why is sometimes, life throws you up and down?"

AWESOME, just....AWESOME! You can't read this and say you've NEVER asked yourself the same question....can you?[/i][/b]

Just because I'm younger than you, while also being smarter and more mature, is no reason to make snippy comments.

"The trial" by Pink Floyd's The WALL

Good morning the worm your honor
the crowd will plainly show you the prisonor who now stands before you
was caught red handed showing feelings
showing feelings of an almost human nature
this will not do
call the school master
I wish that it come to no good
death me and honor
if you let have my way I could of
whipped him into shape
but my hands were tied the bleeding hearts in artists
swam got a way with mureder
will you hammer him today

Crazy toys in the attic I am crazy surley god for shame
I hope they didnt take my marbles away
crazy toys in the attic he is crazy
call the defendants wife
you little sh** your in it now I hope they throw away the key
you should have talked to me more often then you did
but no !
you had to go your own have you broken any homes up lately
just five minutes worm your honor
him me alone

Got another baby let hold you in my arms but I never wanted him to get any
trouble why did you ever have to leave me worm your honor
let me take him home
crazy over the rainbow I am crazy bars in the rim now
the have been a door knob in the wall when I cave in
crazy over the rainbow he is crazy

Now here comes the best part of the song ^_^

The evidence before the court if in controvert amore theres no need for the jury
to retire
in all my years of judging have never heard before of someone more deserving
of the full penalty of law
the way you made them suffer your exquisite wife mother
fills me with the urge to defecate
since my friend you have revealed your deepest fear
TEAR DOWN THE WALL

I got some...

Love forever, love is free
Let's turn forever, you and me.
[i]Feel Good Inc. ~The Gorillaz[/i]

I cant remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride,
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died.
So bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
Singin, thisll be the day that I die.
[i]American Pie~Don McLean[/i]

And as the skin rips off I cherish the revolting thought
That even if I quit
There's not a chance in hell I'd stop
And anyone can see the signs
Mittens in the summertime
Thank you for your pity, you are too kind
[i]Bad Habit~The Dresden Dolls[/i]

*Save your tears
for the day
when our pain is far behind
on your feet
come with me
we are soldiers stand or die
Save your fears
take your place
save them for the judgement day
fast and free
follow me
time to make the sacrifice
we rise or fall
[i]Rise~Origa and Yoko Kanno[/i]

Excuse me if there's anything wrong with these. I just chose these because they really stood out to me.
.....and Pink Floyd kicks a$s. XD

I saved these for a rainy day Smile

except for the AC DC one, I heard it on the radio and had to post it! it's been so long since I've heard it Sad

The Quiet Riote song ALWAYS makes me wanna shout for some odd reason, I love it.

-Chili Peppers, This Is The Place:
This is the place where all
The devils plead
Their case to take from you
What they need
Can I isolate your gene
Can I kiss your dopamine
In a way I wonder
If shes living in a magazine/
Can I smell your gasoline? Can I pet your wolverine?
On the day my best friend died I could not get my carpet clean.

-Alanis Morissette, You Learn:
You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

-Aerosmith, I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing:
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Where every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Lying close to you, feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what your dreaming
Wondering if it's me your seeing
And then I kiss your eyes, and thank God we're together
I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever

-Metallica, Untill It Sleeps:
Where do I take this pain of mine
I run but it stays right by my side
So tear me open, pour me out
The things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me, so hold me until it sleeps

Just like a curse, just like a stray
You feed it once and now it stays
How it stays

So tear me open, but beware
The things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me until I'm clean

It grips you solely, it stains you solely
It hates you solely, it holds you solely
Until it sleeps...

-AC DC, You Shook Me All Night Long:
She was a fast machine
She kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman I had ever seen
She had the sightless eyes
Telling me no lies
Knockin' me out with those American thighs
Taking more than her share
Had me fighting for air
She told me to come but I was already there

'Cause the walls start shaking
The earth was quaking
My mind was aching
And we were makin it and you

Shook me all night long
Yeah you shook me all night long
Working double time
On the seduction line
She was one of a kind, she's just mine all mine
Wanted no applause
Just another course
Made a meal out of me and come back for more
Had to cool me down
To take another round
Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing

-Quiet Riot, Cum On Feel The Noize:

Cum on feel the noize
Girls rock your boys
We'll get wild, wild, wild
Wild, wild, wild

So you think I got an evil mind
I tell you honey

I don't know why
I don't know why

So you think my singin's out of time
It makes me money

I don't know why
I don't know why
Anymore
Oh no

So cum on feel the noize
Girls rock your boys
We'll get wild, wild, wild
Wild, wild, wild

Cum on feel the noize
Girls rock your boys
We'll get wild, wild, wild
Baby!

So you say I got a funny face
I got no worries

And I don't know why
I don't know why

Oh I gotta sing with some disgrace
I'm in no hurry

And I don't know why
I don't know why
Anymore
No no no

Cum on feel the noize
Girls rock your boys
We'll get wild, wild, wild
Wild, wild, wild

Cum on feel the noize
Girls rock your boys
We get wild, wild, wild
Baby
Come on!

Well you think we have a lazy time
You should know better

I don't know why
I don't know why

So you say I got a dirty mind
I'm a mean go getter

I don't know why
I don't know why
Anymore
Oh no

Cum on feel the noize
Girls rock your boys
We'll get wild, wild, wild
Wild, wild, wild

Cum on feel the noize
Girls rock your boys
We'll get wild, wild, wild
Baby!

Come on, (come on) feel it
Girls rock your boys (come on, rock it!)
We'll get wild, wild, wild
We're gonna get wild! (wild, wild, wild)
We're gonna get rocked tonight (cum on feel the noize)

Rock it tonight (girls rock your boys)
We'll get wild, wild, wild
OH YEAH!!

Cum on feel the noize
Girls rock your boys
We'll get wild, wild, wild

Been awhile since I contributed to this thread. No better time than now I guess. Smile

[u]Too Young to Fall in Love[/u]-Motley Crue

[i]Run for the hills we're both sinners and saints
Not a woman but a whore, I can taste the hate
Well now I'm killing you, watch your face turning blue
Not yet a man, just a punk in the streets[/i]

[i]Same 'Ol Situation: SOS[/i]-Motley Crue

[i]She's got an alligator bag
Top hat to match
Dressed in black on black
She's got a Philipino girlie
She claims is her friend
I tell you boys, you just gotta laugh
Now I used to call her Cindy
She changed her name to "Sin"
I guess that's the name of her game
I really used to love her
Then, the kitty she discovered
It's got to be a sexual thing

All, all around the world
Girls will be girls
It's the same ol', same ol' situation
It's the same ol', same ol' ball and chain
I say no no no
No no no Introduced me to her lover
In a cellophane dress
Then they bid me a sweet fairwell
Last time I saw them
They were kissing so softly
To the sound of wedding bells

All, all around the world
Girls will be girls
It's the same ol', same ol' situation
It's the same ol', same ol' ball and chain
Just like a punch in the teeth
Or a swan dive to the street
[/i]

Most of this song is gold, if not all of it. Music video is great to watch too. Smile

It keeps reminding me why I have to see the Crue live soon.

I like how "phrase" has become entire songs. Laughing

Hang On To Your IQ - Placebo

Chinese masseuse, comes between us
talks in haikus, plastic venus.
Got a headrush, in her pocket
two rubbers two lubes, and a silver rocket

Hang on, hang on
to your IQ, to your ID
hang on, hang on
to your IQ, to your ID

Every morning, my eyes will open wide
I gotta get high, before I go outside.
Roll another, for breakfast
burning clouds around, and in my solar plexus.

Legs eleven, makes me stay up late
two fat ladies on my back, and now it's 88.
I'm a fool, whose tool is small
it's so miniscule, it's no tool at all.

Hot N' Bothered - Cinderella

You got me jumpin' right out of my skin
You keep it up and I'll be comin' on in
You start a feelin' you're the cream of the crop
You gonna break my heart or just make it stop
You told me that you'd always love me true
But then I heard you told another guy too
Take a cold shower but the water boils hot
The way you twist and shake it girl
You tie me in a knot
And get me hot

Ooo hot and bothered

Don't Change That Song - Faster Pussycat

I took her forty-fives right in my hand
And baby, I've got twelve inches of fun always at my command
Ease it out of the sleeve, put the needle in the groove
It ain't no silver platter, it's a matter of who does who

I started shakin, the lady started takin
And everything I dished out
In the midst of satisfaction she caused a distraction
When she started messin with that sound

Don't you change that song
It's my favorite record
Don't you change that song
It goes on and on again

Laughing

I added the entire Quiet Riot song because every line is great. And really, that song really does something to me when I hear it. It is so good, I really can't explain it.

I love this song too, and i haven't heard it since I was a kid. It just popped in my head the other day.

Areosmith, Janie's Got A Gun:
Janie's Got A Gun
Janie's Got A Gun
Her whole world's come undone
From lookin' straight at the sun
What did her daddy do
What did he put you through

They say when Janie was arrested
They found him underneath a train
But man, he had it comin'
Now that Janie's Got A Gun
She ain't never gonna be the same

Janie's Got A Gun
Janie's Got A Gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Tell me now it's untrue
What did her daddy do

I like these because the girl has a gun and everyone is on the run now Razz

Then you probably don't want to know that Cum On Feel The Noize was written by Slade and the Quiet Riot version is a cover? Razz

I didn't :(

But much props to Slade, I think that song should be played at every party ever made. Some songs are just meant to be played loud.

[quote]I like how "phrase" has become entire songs.[/quote]

Well you have to admit that some verses you can't leave out. Like Walk on Water or Wild Side or Paradise City.

Speaking of which, I don't think I put any Paradise City lyrics here. Surprised

And thats one of the best GnR songs too.

[u]Paradise City[/u]-Guns N' Roses

[i]Captain America was torn apart
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[/i]

The other verses are great too but, yeah, we have to keep in mind that this is supposed to be just phrases. Wink

Ah, what the hell. I can't leave out one other verse of that song. Its my favorite verse too.

[i]Strapped in the city gas chamer
Why I'm here I can't quite remember
The Surgeon General says its hazerdous to breath
I'd have another cigarette but I can't see[/i]

And I <3 Janie's Got a Gun so fuckin' much. :wub: Aerosmith has some class lyrics. Smile

I Do The Rock - Tim Curry (yes, the actor...Frankie <3 )

[i]
John and Yoko farming beef
raising protein quota
Sometimes they make love and art
inside their dakota
Rodney's feeling sexy
Mick is really frightfully bold
Me, I do the only thing that stops me growing old
I do the Rock
I do the Rock Rock
I do the Rock Rock Rock[/i]

Full Thing

HaHa, I love those, Mairi!

*more lyrics later*

Ok, I didn't want to bump this, so I'll edit this post. This song rocks, I haven't heard it in a few days, but I was thinking about it earlier on.

Tommy Lee, Trying To Be Me:
I pull out of the driveway
and head out on the highway
and I can see them in my rearview mirror
hanging out the window
snappin a shot of me
so I pull into the fast lane
nobody's gettin past me
and I can hear the helicopters coming
drivin down the street is such a pain in
the ass for me

I wish I was him Sad
