Favorite song lines ever

[ChandlerFan]

I can't claim it as an original idea as this is a spin-off of Blain's thread, but share your favorite song lines here!

One of my favorites is...
"But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair."
-Be My Escape, Relient K

 

[Siberian_Khatru]

Oh my goodness, there are so many! Alas, all of it is secular. Maybe just a few stanzas...

Half the world hates
What half the world does every day
Half the world waits
While half gets on with it anyway

Half the world lives
Half the world makes
Half the world gives
While the other half takes

Half the world is
Half the world was
Half the world thinks
While the other half does

Half the world talks
With half a mind on what they say
Half the world walks
With half a mind to run away

Half the world lies
Half the world learns
Half the world flies
As half the world turns

Half the world cries
Half the world laughs
Half the world tries
To be the other half... ~ 'Half the World,' written by Neil Peart

And while I'm not much of a Nickelback fan, I think the lyrics to 'If Today was Your Last Day' are awesome!

 

[ChandlerFan]

Oh my goodness, there are so many!

That's the beauty of it

So much style without substance, so much stuff without style. It's hard to recognize the real thing, it comes along once in awhile.

Mmm, Grand Designs. I'm fond of his/their obscure work.

"I don't want to be the sweeper of the egg shells that you walk upon
And I don't want to be your other half, I believe that 1 and 1 make 2
I don't want to be your food or the light from the fridge on your face
At midnight, hey
What are you hungry for
I don't want to be the glue that holds your pieces together
I don't want to be your idol
See this pedestal is high and I'm afraid of heights
I don't want to be lived through
A vicarious occasion
Please open the window"
~Alanis Morissette, Not The Doctor

"You sound so innocent
All full of good intent
You swear you know best
But you expect me to
Jump up on board with you
And ride off into your delusional sunset"
~Sara Bareilles, King Of Anything

"If I Had $1000000
I'd build a tree fort in our yard.
If I Had $1000000
You could help, it wouldn't be that hard.
If I Had $1000000
Maybe we could put put a little tiny fridge in there somewhere
([Talking:] We could just go up there and hang out.
Like open the fridge and stuff, and there'd be foods laid out for us
With little pre-wrapped sausages and things. Mmmmm.
They have pre-wrapped sausages but they don't have pre-wrapped bacon.
Well can you blame them. Yeah)"
~Barenaked Ladies, If I Had $1,000,000

"After all this has passed, I still will remain
After I've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today, someday I'll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain"
~Superchick, Beauty From Pain

Er...yeah, I'll stop there. There's just so many!

 

[PennEd]

"If I swallow anything evil, put your fingers down my throat, If I shiver please give me a blanket, keep me warm, let me wear your coat"

Unfortunately I have had need of this verse before.

 

[AbbeyJoy]

So speak life, speak life
To the deadest darkest night
Speak life, speak life
When the sun wont shine and you dont know why
Look into the eyes of the broken hearted
Watch them come alive as soon as you speak hope
You speak love, you speak
You speak life,
Toby mac

 

[Grace-Like-Rain]

He is jealous for me
Loves like a hurricane, and I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
And I realize just how beautiful you are
and how great your affections are for me.

"How He Loves" - David Crowder

 

[Lynx]

Don't go fishin
With a man who has been drinkin
You may not get exactly what you wish
Just leave that fool at home to drink
He can do his fishin in the kitchen sink
Don't go near the water
With a man that's too drunk to fish

 

[Lynx]

"If my nose was running money, honey
I'd blow it all on you
...But it'snot

Well it's a booger of a problem that I've got
If my nose was running money... But honey... It'snot"


"I'm so miserable without you
It's almost like you're here"


"There's oil in Texas
But the dipsticks are in D.C."

 

[Lynx]

This old time religion, it makes me sometimes shout
I don't have time to gossip, nor any time to doubt
They say that I'm too noisy, but when those blessings flow
I shout oh hallelujah, I want the world to know

 

[zaoman32]

"And I am done with my graceless heart,
so tonight I'm going to cut it out and then restart."-Florence and the Machine Shake it Out

"Tread ye not, now, where I have failed.That spirit has flown, that ship has sailed.
My feet have failed to dance the steps,
and for bare bones I have loved and wept;
arrayed am I in burning, Trojan gold
for the sake of He who’s name I hold" A Hill to Die Upon A Jester Arrayed in Burning Gold

"Freefall, weightless and terrified,
on I go, crossing over from living to so alive
and purified, I know weeping is cast for the night
but joy...comes in the morning."-Stavesacre Freefall (From Hand to Hand)

"I can feel it's getting nearer
Images they'll turn out clearer
Creeps in and out of your mind
I'm destiny personified
I know there's something more behind
But is it really justified
To sacrifice, to crucify
The rescue of the human kind
Sadly sings destiny
Sadly sings destiny
'For ages I've been waiting
Now spring is in the air
Let it in'
Sadly sings destiny
Sadly sings destiny
'For ages I've been waiting
Now spring is in the air
Let it in'" Blind Guardian Sadly Sings Destiny​

 

[Lynx]

Oh the children of the Lord always come out singing
In the heat of the battle there'll be praises ringing
When the smoke and dust clears we'll still be clinging
To the banner of the cross



Then He said sing with a laughing heart
Just sing when the night is darkest
Sing, let your joy explode
And let music fill the air
You can sing when there's nothing else to do
Sing when something deep inside of you
Tells you that life is still a wonder
Just throw back your head and sing



Sing your song
Sing it loud and strong
The sun is gonna shine again I know
Mountains seem to go away
When you lift your voice in praise
So sing your song



Hmm.... anyone get the impression I like to sing?

How long do you think it will take until someone comes in and bashes us for posting non christian songs? I'm taking bets over at my Vegas casino built on Indian land.

 

[Lynx]

I'm betting nobody would have said anything if you hadn't mentioned it. But we'll never know now.

 

[Siberian_Khatru]

More like you like to hear yourself sing. Just teasing! Nice kitty... *recoils*

 

[DuchessAimee]

That, my friend, is wishful thinking. Someone would have noticed... whether it was a noob, or someone who should stay in the bible forum, someone would have noticed.
