Hi there folks
I think it's time that we have a thread where we can share and discuss our favorite parts of lyrics.
You just share one of your favorite lyrics/lyric parts and tell us why you think it is so special, or why it means so much to you.
I think this could be great fun, with you nice people!

Neil Young. the needle and the damage done.

I caught you knockin' At my cellar door
I love you, baby, Can I have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.

I hit the city and I lost my band
I watched the needle Take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done.

I sing the song Because I love the man
I know that some Of you don't understand
Milk-blood To keep from running out.

I've seen the needle And the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's Like a settin' sun.

I think these lyrics are so good, I don't need to explain why I admire them so much.
Aztec Camera - Working in a Goldmine
Our love's the sound
Of broken skies
Too blind to see
What lies inside
We love what shines
Before our eyes
Why can't we learn
What hides?
Waiting on the last train
Flicking through the highlights
Livin' in a suitcase
Positively uptight
Kissing in the full moon
Drowning in the sunshine
Walking on a tightrope
And everything is gonna be just fine
'Cos I believe in your heart of gold
Automatically sunshine
Yeah, glitter, glitter everywhere
Like working in a goldmine
And we believe that there's a heart beats on
In the dark of the closedown
Yeah, glitter, glitter everywhere
Like working in a goldmine
And time not tied
Is time to feed
We lose our pride
We spill our seed
The worst of us
Escapes so slow
The best of us
Just goes
(chorus again, then...)
They'll make you work for everything
Never let it roll
Never let it swing
Take control and let your heart sing...

Eminem (Bad Meets Evil - Lighters)
Had a dream I was king, I woke up still king
Rap game’s nipple is mine for the milking
'til nobody else even fuc*in’ feels me, 'til it kills me
I swear to God I’ll be the fuc*in’ illest in this music
There is, or there ever will be, disagree? Feel free
But from now on I’m refusing to ever give up
Only thing I ever gave up’s using, no more excuses
Excuse me, if my head is too big for this building ...

"Another Way To Die"
The indulgence of our lives has cast a shadow on our world.
Our devotion to our appetites betrayed us all.
An apocalyptic plight.
More destruction will unfold.
Mother Earth will show her darker side and take her toll.
It's just another way to die.
There can be no other reason why.
You know we should have seen it coming.
Consequences we cannot deny will be revealed in time.
Glaciers melt as we pollute the sky.
A sign of devastation coming.
We don’t need another way to die.
Can we repent in time?
The Time bomb is ticking and no one is listening.
Our future is fading.
Is there any hope we’ll survive?
Still, we ravage the world that we love.
And the millions cry out to be saved.
Our endless maniacal appetite.
Left us with another way to die.
It's just another way to die.
Can we repent in time?
Greed and hunger led to our demise.
A path I can’t believe we followed.
Black agenda’s rooted in a lie.
Will we repent in time?
Species fall before our very eyes.
A world that they cannot survive in left them with another way to die.
Are we dead inside?

Yeah, that album it came from, "Love" is one of my favourites...and do a search for Roddy Frame ;)

Aztec Camera - Somewhere In My Heart

(I particularly like the bit in bold, which is followed by a cracking guitar solo. It's a great, upbeat track, as well as being lyrically strong.)

Summer in the city where the air is still
A baby being born to the overkill
Who cares what people say
We walk down love's motorway
Ambition and love wearing boxing gloves
And singing hearts and flowers

Chorus:
(But) Somewhere in my heart
There is a star that shines for you
Silver splits the blue
Love will see it through
And somewhere in my heart
There is the will to set you free
All you've got to be is true

A star above the city in the northern chill
A baby being born to the overkill
No say no place to go
A t.v. and a radio
Amibition and love wearing boxing gloves
And singing hearts and flowers

(Chorus...)

But who could heal
What's never been as one
And our hearts have been torn
Since the day we were born
Just like anyone
From Westwood to Hollywood
The one thing that's understood
Is that you can't buy time
But you can sell your soul
And the closest thing to heaven is to rock and roll

There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more
I love these lyrics by
(Lennon/McCartney)

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of shit
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

In my hour of need
Ha you're not there
And though I reached out for you
Wouldn't lend a hand
Through the darkest hour
Grace did not shine on me
It feels so cold, very cold
No one cares for me
Did you ever think I get lonely
Did you ever think that I needed love
Did you ever think to stop thinking
You're the only one that I'm thinking of
You'll never know how hard I tried
To find my space and satisfy you too
Things will be better when I'm dead and gone
Don't try to understand, knowing you I'm probably wrong
But oh how I lived my life for you
Still you'd turn away
Now as I die for you
My flesh still crawls as I breathe your name
All these years I thought I was wrong
Now I know it was you
Raise your head raise your face your eyes
Tell me who you think you are, who ?
I walk, I walk alone
Into the promised land
There's a better place for me
But it's far, far away
Everlasting life for me
In a perfect world
But I gotta die first
Please God send me on my way
Time has a way of taking time
Loneliness is not only felt by fools
Alone I call to ease the pain
Yearning to be held by you, alone, so alone, I'm lost
Consumed by the pain
The pain, the pain, the pain
Won't you hold me again
You just laughed, ha, ha, b***h
My whole life is work built on the past
But the time has come when all things shall pass
This good thing passed away
In my darkest hour

Bogu smo dragi mi Hrvati
pa cu molit' da me vrati
Jos posljednji put
da gledam dok
se zito zlati
a kad me opet gore vrati
zahvalit' cu mu prvo
sto nam je dao
komad zemlje sto
je za sebe sacuvo
English(Well il do my best)
God like us Croats
so il' ask him kind
to send me back
for one more time
just to see the golden grain
and when he calls me back
i will thank Him first
for giving us piece of land
that he preserved for him self
I just realize how difficult is to translate a song
I hope that you can understand the lines

Lana Del Rey - Born To Die


What?
Who me?
What?
Feet don’t fail me now
Take me to the finish line
Oh my heart it breaks every step that I take
But I’m hoping at the gates,
They’ll tell me that you’re mine
Walking through the city streets
Is it by mistake or design
I feel so alone on the Friday nights
Can you make it feel like home, if I tell you you’re mine
It's like I told you honey
Don’t make me sad, don’t make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough
I don’t know why
Keep making me laugh
Let’s go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime
Come on take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
Choose your last words, this is the last time
Cause you and I, we were born to die
Lost but now I am found
I can see but once I was blind
I was so confused as a little child
Trying to take what I could get
Scared that I couldn't find
All the answers honey
Don’t make me sad, don’t make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough
I don’t know why
Keep making me laugh
Let's go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime
Come on take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
Choose your last words,
This is the last time
Cause you and I
We were born to die
Come on and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
Don’t make me sad, don’t make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough
I don’t know why
Keep making me laugh
Let's go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime
Come on take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane...
Choose your last words,
This is the last time
Cause you and I
We were born to die
