i love love LOVE music! & a lot of my favorite quotes come for songs i listen to over and over again. here are a few...

Hold me now, oh hold me now
Till this hour has gone around
And I'm gone on the rising tide
For to face Van Diemen's land

It's a bitter pill I swallow here
To be rent from one so dear
We fought for justice and not for gain
But the magistrate sent me away

Now kings will rule and the poor will toil
And tear their hands as they tear the soil
But a day will come in this dawning age
When an honest man sees an honest wage

Hold me now, oh hold me now
Till this hour has gone around
And I'm gone on the rising tide
For to face Van Dieman's land

I could find stuff for this thread all day but I will try to keep it at a reasonable length--I DO have class in a bit...

And your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
Do you know
For you I bleed myself dry
-"Yellow" by Coldplay

Why'd you cuts holes in the face of the moon base?
Don't you know about the temperature change
Cold black shadow
Are you mad at your walls or hoping that an unknown force
Can repair things for you, pardon all the time what you've thrown
To your pale gray garden?
If the ship will never come, you gotta move along
-"Of Birds, Moons and Monstesr" by MGMT

Catch the wind that breaks the butterfly 
I cried the rain that fills the ocean wide 
I tried to talk with God to no avail 
Calling my name from out of nowhere 
I said "If you won't save me, please don't waste my time" 
-"Falling Down" by Oasis

A war for corporate glory
Retold as a fairy story
-"Counterfeit Life" by Starsailor

Once again we've gone off track
And lost all hope for coming back
Its time to restart again
And try all over again
-"Losing All Control" by Rooney

Green eyes, you're the one that I wanted to find
And anyone who tried to deny you must be out of their mind
Cause I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter since I met you
Honey you should know, that I could never go on without you
-"Green Eyes" by Coldplay

How come I end up where I started
How come I end up where I went wrong
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
First you reel me out and then you cut the string
You used to be all right
What happened?
Did the cat get your tongue?
Did your string come undone?
One by one
One by one
It comes to us all
It's as soft as your pillow
-"15 Steps" by Radiohead

She just wept like I could not ignore
How can I act when my heart's on the floor?
She just wept
'Til her eyes became sore
I knew who she was
But I don't anymore
She just cried to the ruins of time
That kept us apart
We were doing just fine
She just wept
She was put to the test
Those that she loved
She had learned to detest
-"She Just Wept" by Starsailor

Beautiful dawn.. lights up the shore for me
There is nothing else in the world
I'd rather wake up and see with you
Beautiful dawn ...I'm just chasing time again
Thought I would die a lonely man, in endless night
But now I'm high, running wild among all the stars above
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me
Beautiful dawn... melt with the stars again.
Do you remember the day when my journey began?
Will you remember the end of time?
Beautiful dawn ...You're just blowing my mind again
Thought I was born to endless night, until you shine
High,, running wild among all the stars above
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me
Will you be my shoulder when I'm grey and older?
Promise me tomorrow starts with you,
Getting high, running wild among all the stars above
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me
-"High" by James Blunt
(this song is too special to only have some of the lyrics posted.)

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? ooh!
Some say its just a part of it:
Weve got to fulfil de book.
BoB Marly- Redemption Song

Fare you well, my honey, fare you well my only true one.
All the birds that were singing are flown, except you alone.

Going to leave this brokedown palace,
On my hand and knees, I will roll, roll, roll.
Make myself a bed in the waterside,
In my time, I will roll, roll roll.

In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head.
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.

River going to take me, sing sweet and sleepy,
sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home.
It's a far gone lullaby, sung many years ago.
Mama, mama many worlds I've come since I first left home.

Goin' home, goin' home, by the riverside I will rest my bones,
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.

Going to plant a weeping willow,
On the bank's green edge it will grow, grow, grow.
Sing a lullaby beside the water,
Lovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll.

Fare you well, fare you well, I love you more than words can tell,
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.

Grateful Dead- Brokedown Palace

when you walked out on me
in walked old misery
from guns n roses.
xD the most typical Beatlesesque lyrics

and from black sabbath, in airdance;
And as the seasons turn the days to years
She holds her pictures, hears the silent cheers
The days grow lonely for the dancing queen
And now she dances only in her dreams

this song is amazing. you know when songs have that thing, the thing which is really amazing. well, anyway. it's a good song.

That's a cover from the Spaghetti Incident.  The original was a doo-wop band called the Skyliners.  They did add the "Yeah, we're f@#ked" line though

lol, GNR is my fav band.   The Spaghetti Incident is all covers of songs that influenced them.

Gaelic Storm - Johnny Tarr
Lemme tell you a little story about a man named Johnny Tarr
He was a hard drinking son of a preacher, always at the bar
Lager from the tap or shots of Paddy from the shelf
He could open his throttle and throw back a bottle as quick as the devil himself.... Johnny Tarr

Word got around that Johnny Tarr was no pretender,
From Claire to here they'd lock up the beer when Jonny went on a bender,
Down at Dickey Mack's, the Rising Sun, or at the Swan
He was drinking at seven by ten to eleven well all the booze would be gone! Johnny Tarr!

Chorus:
Even if you saw it yourself, you wouldn't believe it,
But I wouldn't trust a person like me, if i were you
I wasn't there I swear i have an alibi
I heard it from a man who knows a fella who says it's true!

It was nine in the morning, on a cold and rainy night,
Johnny rolled into the Castle Bar, looking to get tight
He had money in his pocket, he had whiskey in his eye,
He said: Get up off your asses and set up the glasses, I'm drinking this place dry!

Now all the serious boozers, they were soon broken hearted
When Johnny finished off six and he was only getting started
Guzzling down the pints, knokin' em back like candy,
He was lookin' alright to be drinkin' all night, then Nora brought out the brandy! Johnny Tarr!

Chorus:
Even if you saw it yourself, you wouldn't believe it,
But I wouldn't trust a person like me, if i were you
I wasn't therem I swear i have an alibi
I heard it from a man who knows a fella who says it's true!

Johnny drank the whole damn bottle, had another pint or two,
When it made no impression he started a session with Murphy's Millenium Brew
He was waiting for a pint when his face turned green;
Jesus, Johnny fell down after only fifteen!

(part one)

They are an amazing band (: I've been stuck on their song "don't cry" for the past few days.

I Hope You Dance

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance....I hope you dance.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances, but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)
