Favorite Song Lyric

[Watermonkey]

I can't decide, so, since I like them both so much, first up is Wish You Were Here:

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Next: Child in Time (Deep Purple)
Sweet child in time
you'll see the line

The line that's drawn between
the good and the bad
See the blind man
shooting at the world
Bullets flying
taking toll
If you've been bad,
Lord I bet you have
And you've been hit
by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes
and bow your head
And wait for the ricochet

Then, of course, there's the infamously short lyrics of the Pink Floyd song, One Of These Days:

"One of these days I'm going to cut him in to little pieces."

[DimeCFH]

These are some lyrics from Hank Williams III. It's just a little to let everybody know that he is the TRUE Grandson of Hank WIlliams, and the son of Hank Williams Jr. He is real pure country blood. Not "pop" country. REAL country.
I had to edit some of the cussin'! lol

"Just so you know, so it's set in stone, Kid Rock don't come from where I come from"
"Yeah it's true he's a Yank, he ain't no son of Hank, and if you thought so ****amn yer ****ing dumb."
"So let's get real loud, let's get stoned and proud"
"Poor me another shot of whiskey, this one's for the south"

I have so many bands I could quote from, but this one was just the first to pop up. lol

[KRAZY KANUCK]

If it hadn't been for cotton-eye joe
I'd been married long time ago
Where did you come from. Where did you go?
Where did you come from cotton-eye joe?

where did you go???

[onegala]

ALL of Pink Floyd but this will work

Here is one of my favorites.

Tool - Schism

I know the pieces fit cause I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering, fundamental differing,
Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so
We cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication.

I know the pieces fit cause I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame it doesn't mean I don't desire to
Point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over
To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication

The poetry that comes from the squaring off between,
And the circling is worth it
Finding beauty in the dissonance

There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication

Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion

Between supposed lovers
Between supposed lovers

And I know the pieces fit



Also, Aenema by Tool.
