Guest caboose Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 Everyone has favourite songs, but what is your favourite line or lyric from any song. That one line or lyric that hooks you onto the song, and gives the song it's special feel for you? My choice is from Metallica's 'For Whom The Bell Tolls': 'Take a look to the sky just before you die, it's the last time you will...' I don't know why but that line just grabs me. Maybe because when you die, you appreciate everything you took for granted and looking to the sky for the last time makes you appreciate life that little bit more.

Guest SP-1 Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 It changes often and I go back and forth with old songs and new songs. Right now though, I'd have to say it's any part of "Bring Me To Life" by Evanesence. It hits me on many levels. This is a favorite part: Now that I know what I'm without, you can't just leave me. Breathe into me and make me real. Bring me . . . to life. I think that's how it goes anyway. I can't remember where I found lyrics at.

Guest Youth N Asia Posted February 25, 2003 Report Posted February 25, 2003 Plastic Plan is a great song. What comes to my head right this second is the opening line to Warren Zevon's "Play it all Night Long" "Grandpa's pissed his pants again, he don't give a damn."

'oh the alcoholic afternoons, when we sat in your room, they meant more to me than any, than any living thing on earth' - These things take time - The smiths, duh. Any smiths song will do for me. Except golden lights, but they didn't write it. I'm too lazy to discuss other bands right now.

Guest saturnmark4life Posted February 26, 2003 Report Posted February 26, 2003 My first residents experience (I've put this off too long) 'demons dance alone' is basically all in ryhming couplets, but they all work. 'if I could afford a breakfast of bacon, toast and scrambled eggs, if I hadn't been so reckless, when I lost my other leg' - Mr. Wonderful etc etc.
