What's Your All Time Favorite Lyric In A Song?

[TheDave]

eminem - superman

Don't get me wrong, I love these hoes, it's no secret, everybody knows
Yeah we fucked, bitch so what, that's about as far as your buddy goes
We'll be friends, I'll call you again, I'll chase you around every bar you attend
Never know what kind of car I'll be in, we'll see how much you'll be partying then
You don't want that, neither do I, I don't want to flip when I see you with guys
too much pride, between you and I, not a jealous man, but females lie
But I guess that's just what sluts do, how could it ever be just us two?
I'd never love you enough to trust you, we just met and I just fucked you

i wont explain

I used this many yaers ago as a poetry project at school and got a b+ for it which was amazing for me

AC/DC -- Night Prowler!

Somewher a clock srtikes midnight....and there's a full moon in the sky,
You hear a dog bark in the ally....and you hear someones baby cry,
A rat runs down the ally...and a chill runs down your spine,
And someone wants to quash your brain...and you wish the sun would shine,
'cos no ones gonna want ya.. and no one's gonna yell attack,
And you don't feel the steel til' it's hanging out your back,

I'm your niiiiiiiiiiiiight Prowler...I sleep in the day
Niiiiiiiiight Prowler...get otta my way
Yes I'm your Niiiiiiiiight Prowler...watch ya tonight
Yes I'm your Night! Prowler...when you turn out the light

To scared to turn light out ....'cos there's something on your mind,
was that a noise outside the window...what's that shadow on the blind,
As you lay there naked...like a body in a tomb,
Suspended animation...as I slip in..to your room

I'm your niiiiiiiiiiiiight Prowler...I sleep in the day
Niiiiiiiiight Prowler...get otta my way
Yes I'm your Niiiiiiiiight Prowler...watch ya tonight
Yes I'm your Night! Prowler...when you turn out the light!

Creepy heh!

I was born here and I'll die here, against my will
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb
I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.

[Curley]

The Pretenders - I'll Stand By You

[carbert]

Sublime - Pool Shark

Lying in my plastic bed,
thinking how things weren't so cool to me.
My baby likes to shoot pool,
I like lying naked in my bedroom, tying off that dinosaur tonight,
it used to be so cool.


Now I've got that needle, I can shake, but I can't bleed.
I take it away, but I want more and more.
One day I'm gonna loose the war.


Written by Bradley Nowell a couple of years before he died of a heroin overdose. Very sad and moving song, especially the acoustic version.

this doesn't have the greatest song lyrics ever, but i like this song at the moment, and i'm too tired to think of my all time favourite lyric. i'd imagine there are too many to list.

BOYSETSFIRE - High Wire Escape Artist.

Bleed out all empathy this vessel has no spirit left to hold on to lies I’ve lived in full
How long can I hold tight with every movement
Tension binds and denies my true nature
The Balance has shifted, warped sick and twisted
Grabbing at angels when I fall
Because I am more than this idol endless recital
For all my demons to applaud
I am free
Hide myself from it all while every fear is
Screaming night into dawn until I find
I have to believe them (lies)
In order to attain fulfillment
I have to succumb to (lies)
All my inner fears that tear at me
I will never believe them (lies)
I’m sick of the weakness that controls me - Now that I¹ve fallen - I will not repent


I especially like the "Grabbing at angels when i fall" line, for me it creates a good mental imagery.

[Clear Illusions]

Right now?

Edwin McCain - I'll Be...

"The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth

Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

Rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive and not dead

Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

I've dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on, remembered the things you said

I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life"

...beautiful song...
