  • What's your all time favorite rock lyrics???

    i was thinking a thread where you post the lyrics of your favourite song'd be kinda cool, so...heres' mine...

    DEAD FLOWERS
    The Rolling Stones

    "Well, when you're sitting there
    In your silk upholstered chair
    Talking to some rich folks that you know
    Well I hope you won't see me
    In my ragged company
    You know I could never be alone

    Take me down little Susie, take me down
    I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground
    And you can send me dead flowers every morning
    Send me dead flower by the mail
    Send me dead flowers to my wedding
    And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

    Well, you're sitting back
    In your pink Cadillac
    Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
    I'll be in my basement room
    With a needle and a spoon
    And another girl can take my pain away

    Take me down little Susie, take me down
    I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground
    And you can send me dead flowers every morning
    Send me dead flower by the mail
    Send me dead flowers to my wedding
    And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

    Take me down little Susie, take me down
    I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground
    And you can send me dead flowers every morning
    Send me dead flower by the US mail
    Say it with dead flowers at my wedding
    And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
    No I won't forget to put roses on your grave"

    My favorite meaningful song!!

    This was an interesting question. My favorite bands are KISS, AC/DC, Tesla, Cinderella and Aerosmith. However, when thinking of my favorite song lyrics, I would have to go with Lynyrd Skynyrd's Simple Man. I currently live in Dallas, Texas with my wife and kids. It is a busy city where everyone tends to be in a hurry. This rushed life style seems to make everyone cranky and inconsiderate. I am originally from East Texas and grew up in the country. I can’t wait until I am financial secure enough to go back. This song seems to sum up how I feel when it says "Forget your lust for the rich man's gold" and "be a simple kind of man".

    Simple Man
    (Gary Rossington - Ronnie Van Zant)


    Mama told me when I was young
    Come sit beside me, my only son
    And listen closely to what I say.
    And if you do this
    It will help you some sunny day.
    Take your time... Don't live too fast,
    Troubles will come and they will pass.
    Go find a woman and you'll find love,
    And don't forget son,
    There is someone up above.

    [Chorus:]
    And be a simple kind of man.
    Be something you love and understand.
    Be a simple kind of man.
    Won't you do this for me son,
    If you can?

    Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
    All that you need is in your soul,
    And you can do this if you try.
    All that I want for you my son,
    Is to be satisfied.

    [Chorus]

    Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
    Follow you heart and nothing else.
    And you can do this if you try.
    All I want for you my son,
    Is to be satisfied.

    [Chorus]

    Ken Morman

          Too Wild to Tame (by Dirty Dan Buck & The Boyzz):

          baby don't you leave me
          honey don't you ask me why
          just give me a few more seconds
          before i slip between your thighs

          cos I'm too wild, too wild to tame...

            The Police - Synchronicity 2 ...

            Secrateries pout and preen like cheap tarts in a red light street,
            And all he ever thinks to do is watch...

            The whole song is a lyrical master piece

              Oh yeh, Synchronicity 2

              ...'and every single meeting with his so-called superiors is a humiliating kick in the crotch ..'

              ...and then something about 'many miles away something crawls to the surface of a dark Scotish Loch' . Weird lyrics. I think it's to do with Chaos theory .. equal and opposite reactions and all that stuff

                  From one of my favorite songs:

                  "The sunshine bores the daylights outta me"

                      I always loved the line from Adam & the Ants track Dog Eat Dog

                      "makes me proud, so proud of you, i see innocence shinning through"

                      the man wrote superb songs with Marco Pirroni.

                        Not really a rock song but i always liked thr line from Prefab sprouts moving the river - see you've got a new girlfriend, hows the wife taking it. also elvis costello two little hitlers - i thought ide let you down, but you were just deflated. I really think a lot of his lyrics are clever.

                          I always thought that line from Dog Eat Dog was : " I see the sun shining through" - there ya go !

                            Nena - 99 Red Balloons


                            You and I in a little toy shop

                            Buy a bag of balloons

                            With the money we've got

                            Set them free at the break of dawn

                            'Til one by one, they were gone

                            Back at base, bugs in the software

                            Flash the message

                            "Something's out there"

                            Floating in the summer sky

                            99 red balloons go by



                            99 red balloons

                            Floating in the summer sky

                            Panic bells, it's red alert

                            There's something here

                            From somewhere else

                            The war machine springs to life

                            Opens up one eager eye

                            Focusing it on the sky

                            Where 99 red balloons go by



                            99 Decision Street

                            99 ministers meet

                            To worry, worry, super-scurry

                            Call the troops out in a hurry

                            This is what we've waited for

                            This is it boys, this is war

                            The president is on the line

                            As 99 red balloons go by



                            [Instrumental Interlude]



                            99 Knights of the air

                            Ride super-high-tech jet fighters

                            Everyone's a Silverhero

                            Everyone's a Captain Kirk

                            With orders to identify

                            To clarify and classify

                            Scramble in the summer sky

                            As 99 red balloons go by



                            As 99 red balloons go by



                            99 dreams I have had

                            In every one a red balloon

                            It's all over and I'm standin' pretty

                            In this dust that was a city

                            If I could find a souvenier

                            Just to prove the world was here

                            And here is a red balloon

                            I think of you and let it go
