'Not sure if I have a favourite song, per se, but I'm in love with these lyrics.

"Motion Picture Soundtrack" - Radiohead wrote:

Red wine and sleeping pills,
Help me get back to your arms.
Cheap sex and sad films,
Help me get where I belong.

I think you're crazy, maybe.
I think you're crazy, maybe.

Stop sending letters.
Letters always get burned.
It's not like the movies.
They fed us all on little white lies.

I think you're crazy, maybe.
I think you're crazy, maybe.

Beautiful angel pulled apart at birth.
Limbless and helpless,
I can't even recognise you.

I think you're crazy, maybe.
I think you're crazy, maybe.

I will see you in the next life.

Away From The Sun - 3 Doors Down
It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
Can anyone tell what I've done
I missed the life
I missed the colours of the world
Can anyone tell where I am

'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun again
Away from the sun again

I'm over this
I'm tired of living in the dark
Can anyone see me down here
The feeling's gone
There's nothing left to lift me up
Back into the world I've known

'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun
That shines the life away from me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down, away from the sun again

It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
And now I can't do what I've done

And now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines the life away from me

'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun
That shines the life away from me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down, away from the sun again

Breakaway - Kelly Clarkson
Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreamin' of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray
Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I'd pray
I could breakaway

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get on board a fast train
Travel on a jet plane
Far away,
And breakaway

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
I won't forget all the ones that I love
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging 'round revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me, but
Gotta keep movin' on, movin' on
Fly away
Breakaway

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
Gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Breakaway
Breakaway

And my other favorite song I forgot to post...

**THE FOLLOWING SONG HAS TO BE ONE OF THE FUNNIEST SONGS ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH. READ IT OR BE EATEN.**

Albequerqe- Weird Al

Oh,god, Weird Al is hilarious. I like "The Saga Begins"( a parody of the "This'll be the day that I die" song. Makes you actually want to see Epidsode 1.

Quote:

Oh, my,my, this here Anikin guy. Maybe Vader someday later by now he's just a small fry. And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye, sayin,"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi."

Eclipse - Pink Floyd

All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel.
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save.
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy,
beg, borrow or steal.
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say.
All that you eat
And everyone you meet
All that you slight
And everyone you fight.
All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

Currently one of my many favourite songs is:

Freckles (KCT re-edit)
What am I
What am I
What, What, What, Uh!
What am I gonna do
If I can't get through counting all these freckles in my life
It's just a waste of my time, and there's no finishing line
How am I gonna do, if I cannot get you
To listen to the dreams we could furfill
Can't get them out of me bed, I want to knock them down the stairs

I check the stars but there's no sign
Venus to mars, there is no line, baby
I could be happy, if you still loved me
Still your memory is clear, always deep inside my mind
I want you back to come and feed my appetite
Another lonely night inside, but why aren't you around
I'm all alone thinking, hear my scream, real fear
It's my life, why are you not hear

While I count away the number of freckles on my face
Holdin' my teddy bear, the pain won't go away
As he smiles at me, the memmories I'm keepin' at my bay
Can't get them out of here, your tears I ca not see
It's my life, why are you not hear

Barenaked Ladies - Brian Wilson

Drove downtown in the rain
Nine-thirty on a Tuesday night,
Just to check out the late-night record shop
Call it impulsive, call it compulsive, call it insane
When I'm surrounded I just can't stop.

It's a matter of instinct,
It's a matter of conditioning,
It's a matter of fact
You can call me Pavlov's dog
Ring a bell and I'll salivate -- how'd you like that
Dr. Landy tell me you're not just a pedagogue
'Cause right now I'm

Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did
Well I'm lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did.

So I'm lying here
Just staring at the ceiling tiles,
And I'm thinking about what to think about.
Just listening and relistening to Smiley Smile
And I'm wondering if this is some kind of creative drought
Because I'm

Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did
Well I'm lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did.

And if you want to find me I'll be out in the sandbox
Wondering where all the hell all the love has gone
Playing my guitar and building castles in the sun
And singing "Fun Fun Fun"

Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did
Well I'm lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did.

I had a dream
That I was three hundred pounds
And though I was very heavy
I floated till I couldn't see the ground
I floated till I couldn't see the ground
Somebody help me, I couldn't see the ground
Somebody help me, I couldn't see the ground
Somebody help me because I'm

Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did
Well I'm lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did.

Drove downtown in the rain
Nine-thirty on a Tuesday night,
Just to check out the late-night record shop
Call it impulsive, call it compulsive, call it insane
When I'm surrounded I just can't stop.

Barenaked Ladies - Unfinished

I left a tip, but it was never a donation
I took a trip, but it was never avacation
I took a seat, but I refused to take a number
And so, defeated, I proceeded unencumbered

I took her hand, but it was not in matrimony
I told my side, but it was never testimony

I'd say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of attention span

Spanning all the ages
And turning all the pages
The history of me is incomplete

Everything is un
Everything is unfin
Everything is unfinished

I played along, but it was not for recreation
I left my home, but it was not evacuation
I made a pact that I would finish what I started
I admit the fact I was distracted and outsmarted

I'd say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of attention span

Everything is un
Everything is unfin
Everything is unfinished

Barenaked Ladies - Testing 1,2,3

Maybe it would be fun to get a new opinion
Get a little work done and forget
Maybe it would be cool if I rocked it old school
Try to break a gold rule and a sweat
Better than the first time, better than the worst time
If I could just reverse time
I'd be set

Testing 1,2,3, can anybody hear me? If I
Shed the irony would everybody cheer me
If I acted less like me would I be in the clear?

She got a new aprtment out on the escarpment
In her glove compartment are my songs
She hasn't even heard them since she found out what the words meant
She decided she preferred them all wrong
Kind of like the last time, with a bunch of really fast rhymes
If we're living in the past I'm
Soon gone

Testing 1,2,3, can anybody hear me? If I
Shed the irony would everybody cheer me
If I acted less like me would I be in the clear?

We recognize the present is half as pleasant
As our nostalgia for
A past that we resented
Recast and reinvented
Until it's how we meant it

Testing 1,2,3, can anybody hear me? If I
Shed the irony would everybody cheer me
If I acted less like me would I be in the clear?

He's everything that you need
He wiped out on your tenspeed
And either he will succeed or just suck

Testing 1,2,3, can anybody hear me? If I
Shed the irony would everybody cheer me
If I acted less like me would I be in the clear?
Begin the testing 1,2,3, can anybody hear me? If I
Shed the irony would everybody cheer me
If I acted less like me would I be in the clear, g?

I've got several songs I'll post here...One is Yellow by Coldplay, but since that's on page 2 or 3 of this topic already, I'll skip that.

The Scientist - Coldplay

Quote:

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a science apart

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said that it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start

Powerless (Say What You Want) - Nelly Furtado

Quote:

Paint my face in your magazines
Make it look whiter than it seems
Paint me over with your dreams
Shove away my ethnicity
Burn every notion that I may have a flame inside to fight
And say just what is on my mind
Without offending your might

Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do
So say what you want
Say what you want

I saw her face outside today
Weatherworn, looking all the rage
They took her passion and her gaze and made a poster
Now it’s moccasins we sport
We take the culture and contort
Perhaps only to distort what we are hiding

Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do
But say what you want
Say what you want

Hey you, the one, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in, get in
Hey you, the one that don’t fit in, how ya, how ya gonna get in
Hey you, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in with your
Broken teeth, broken jaw, broken mojo
Yeah, this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do

Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do
Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do
Say what you want, say what you want, say, say, say

Cuz this life is too short,
just for you

And an old one...
Don't Speak - No Doubt

Quote:

You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together always
I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe
This could be the end
It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real
Well I don't want to know

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts

Our memories
Well, they can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts

It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are...
You and me I can see us dying...are we?

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't tell me cause it hurts!
I know what you're saying
So please stop explaining

Don't speak,
don't speak,
don't speak,
oh I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
I know you're good,
I know you're good,
I know you're real good
Oh, la la la la la la La la la la la la
Don't, Don't, uh-huh Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush
don't tell me tell me cause it hurts
Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush don't tell me tell me cause it hurts

I put Rhapsody on random and decided to post the first song it played. It just so happened to be Spanish Doll which is one of my favorite songs. It's like a sad lullaby.

Poe - Spanish Doll

This place feels so unfamiliar
And yet I know it well
I think I used to belong here
But the only way I can tell
Is that I miss you still
And I cannot find you here
You left me tattered and torn
Just like that Sweet Spanish doll

(Sweet Spanish...Sweet Spanish...doll)

I went down to the alley way
(Sierra la Bonita)
And found that you were gone
(si nunca te fueras{if you would never leave})
You left no word no message
I still don't know
Exactly what went wrong
(lágrimas {tears})
But now no matter where I go
I always seem to return
(búscame {find me})
To where you left me tattered and torn
(yo estoy rompido mi muñeca {I am torn
my sweet doll})
Just like that sweet Spanish doll

(Sweet spanish...Sweet Spanish doll)

A memory guilded in red and gold
Spanish doll: del oro (of gold)
Beauty guarded and never sold
(cuídame {protect me})
I keep it with me wherever I go
And I love you still
(Recuérdame {remember me})
No matter how a story will unfold
You know I always will
(Rescátame {Rescue Me})
Have part of you here
In this souvenir
(Spanish doll)

A stranger in this world without you
Is all that I can ever be
All I know that's pure and clear
You left it with me here
In this souvenir
Spanish... [fading]
Spanish...
Spanish...
...Doll

Father:
And here is father and lovely daughter, shot down in her
mistaken flight...
(Sweet Spanish...Sweet)
Father:
....unaware yet how her life will be
affected by this...experience.
(Sweet...Sweet...)
Daughter:
Mommy, how come you cry?
Father:
While what was really happened was in the years of her childhood...
(Sweet Spanish...Sweet)
Father:
Perhaps that is where the real story is: in her family house.
Daughter:
How come it's a house of leaves?
(Sweet Spanish...Sweet Spanish)
Daughter:
How come it's a house of leaves?
(Recuérdame)

I gotta post these song lyrics, cause I've been playing the videos on Launch repeatedly.

Dashboard Confessional - Screaming Infidelities

I'm missing your bed
I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak,
And this bottle of beast
Is taking me home

I'm cuddling close
To blankets and sheets
But you're not alone, and you're not discreet
Make sure I know who's taking you home.

I'm reading your note over again
And there's not a word that I comprehend,
Except when you signed it
I will love you always and forever

Well as for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs
And sit alone and wonder
How you're making out
But as for me, I wish that I was anywhere, with anyone
Making out.

I'm missing your laugh
How did it break?
And when did your eyes begin to look fake?
I hope you're as happy as you're pretending.

I'm cuddling close
To blankets and sheets
and I am alone
In my defeat I wish I knew you were safely at home

I'm missing your bed
I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak,
And this bottle of beast is taking me home.

Well as for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs
And sit alone and wonder
How you're making out
but as for me, I wish that I was anywhere, with anyone
Making out.

Your hair, it's everywhere.
Screaming infidelities
And taking its wear.
(x4)

Dashboard Confessional - Vindicated

Hope, dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye
And roped me in so mesmorizing
So hypnotizing
I am captivated
I am...

[Chorus]
Vindicated
I am selfish, I am wrong
I am right, I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now
The things you swore you saw yourself

So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intention
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isolated
So motivated, I am certain now
That I am..

Vindicated
I am selfish, I am wrong
I am right, I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now
The things you swore you saw yourself

So tired of the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in too deep now
to ever swim against the current

So let me slip away, so let me slip away
So let me slip away, so let me slip against the current
So let me slip away, so let me slip away
So let me slip away, so let me slip away

Vindicated
I am selfish, I am wrong
I am right, I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now
The things you swore you saw yourself

Like hope, dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption

Switchfoot - Meant to Live
Fumbling his confidence
And wond’ring why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he’s meant for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we’ve been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we’re bent and broken, broken

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

We want more than this world’s got to offer
We want more than this world’s got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
We were meant to live

"Anthem Of Our Dying Day" - Story of the Year

The stars will cry
The blackest tears tonight
And this is the moment that I live for
I can smell the ocean air
And here I am
Pouring my heart onto these rooftops
Just a ghost to the world
That's exactly
Exactly what I need

From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day

For a second I wish the tide
Would swallow every inch of this city
As you gasp for air tonight
I'd scream this song right in your face
If you were here
I swear I won't miss a beat
Cause I never
Never have before

From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day

Of our dying day
Of our dying day
Of our dying!!!

For a second I wish the tide
Would swallow every inch of this city
And you gasp for air tonight!!

From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day
From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day
From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day

Our dying day
Of our dying!!!

^ Sidewalks has always seemed like it would be a good class song for graduation.

Poetic Tragedy-The Used

As far as he sees nothing's left in the cup
A whole cup full of nothing for him to indulge
Since the voice of ambition has long since been shut up

A singer, a writer, he's not dreaming now of going nowhere
He gave heed to nothing, and all that he was...
Is just a tragedy

So he voyages in circles
Succeeds getting nowhere
And submits to the substance
That first got him there

Then in violent, frustration he cries out to God or just no one
Is there a point to this madness and all that he was...
Is just a tragedy

He feels alone
His heart in his hand
He's alone
He feels alone
I feel...

Then on that last day he breaks
And he stood tall
And he yelled...and he takes his life

That's the only song I can think of off the top of my head. I like most of the Used, but I don't have the CD anymore.... that's a long story though.... If I'm looking at CDs or doing somthing like this I can never remember what I want to get or put down.
