The Lyrical Moment

[ShyIntellect]

You know..the one or two lines from a song that resonate with you for whatever reason at that moment. No need to post all the lyrics--just that profound excerpt you like. Name the song and the artist for our benefit :)

I'll start...

"To her, death is quiet romantic
She wears an iron vest.
Her profession's her religion
Her sin is her lifelessness."

Desolation Row...B. Dylan

[MiSt09]

I woke up this morning, and the sun was gone
turned on some music to start my day, then lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes, and I slipped away

More than a Feeling, Boston

[catmom]

"Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road"


Goodbye Yellow Brick Road / Elton John

[ShyIntellect]

"Where the grudge like a crown of negativity, calculate what we will...and will not tolerate"
The Grudge, TOOL

[Daddy]

"Ladybug, Ladybug
Poke your head out of the rug
And ya come see me
And bring your jug

Cause when ya come see me
That's when you getchyour good love."

"Ladybug" - The Presidents of the United States of America

[ShyIntellect]

"All the people we used to know
They're an illusion to me now.
Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenter's wives.
Don't know how it all got started,
I don't know what they're doin' with their lives."

Tangled Up in Blue...Bob Dylan

[ShyIntellect]

"I got my propaganda, I got revisionism
I got my violence in hi-def ultra-realism
All a part of this great nation
I got my fist, I got my plan, I got survivalism"

Survivalism, NIN...

[Daddy]

"I caught glimpse of Carolyn's booty
as she walking from the bathroom
into my bedroom.

Sumpin' 'bout her curves did sumpin' to my penis
she's got the curves just like Venus de Milo . . .

Venus de Milo."

"Carolyn's Booty" - The Presidents of the United States of America

[Sneaky]

"I met them first on their wedding night
Faces were flushed by promises plighted
We passed in the hall and I met them well
But as their carriage arrived, I found that I couldn't quite tell them

He walked on the wet sands of summertime
Rain beat the window in drummertime
He was cruel with his humour
She was quick with her tongue
But though a year had passed
The honeymoon didn't last
Somehow they didn't seem young

They're on their holiday
But they still find a reason to fight
Now matter how long they say
Can't put the rest of the year right

Five had passed when I happened along
He said, “Do you hear that noise? Well, that once was our song”
I looked in her eyes and saw barely a spark
He laughed too loud and then drank until dark

It's not very far from tears to mirth
It's not moments that will capture your breath
It's not very long that you spend on this earth
She'd never know just what Harry was worth

(She'll never know what Harry was worth)"
~Harry Worth, Elvis Costello

[celtichazel]

have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone
your whole life waiting for that ring to tell you , you are not alone
glitter in the air - pink

[Tiglet]

And when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I don't have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float into the mystic

[Ginger]

Let me wrap my arms around you
you know you don't wanna leave this room

[FlowerGirl228]

Like fallin' rain
The days go by
Can't kill the pain
And you wonder why ?
But be strong
Hold On
There's a lot of love to go around
Stay wild
My soul child
And don't ya let 'em bring you down
-Soul Child Shawn Mullins

[OGP]

Sometimes, I don't know why, it doesn't even matter how hard you try.


I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

[FlowerGirl228]

Oh I used to be disgusted
And now I try to be amused

-(Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes -Elvis Costello

[BellaLuna]

I wanna lie in my bed and do nothin
I don't care what anyone says
I got you on my on my mind
thinkin bout one thing
gonna show you how I do it best
put your lips on my mouth
keep me commin around
cause I like it.

[FlowerGirl228]

Can you help me remember how to smile ?
Make it all somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded ?
Life's mysteries seem so faded

Runaway Train-Soul Asylum

[FlowerGirl228]

Everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking about
Somebody else
It's best if we all keep it under our heads
I couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling the way I do
But I'm lonely now, and I don't know how
To get it back to good

[Charmed]

My poor heart, it's been so dark
Since you've been gone
After all, you're the one who turns me off
You're the only one who can turn me back on

[Charmed]

Like the desert waiting for the rain
Like a school kid waiting for the spring
I'm just sitting here waiting for you
To come on home and turn me on

[FlowerGirl228]

Let your soul shine,
Its better than sunshine,
Its better than moonshine,
Damn sure better than rain.

[msu]

Daddy, it's Saturday, and I don't want to go outside
and mow the grass today;
so would you love me just as much
if I was just your stupid kid?

[FlowerGirl228]

Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now

[msu]

I feel the warmth of her hand in mine.....
Oooh, I hear laughter in the rain,
walking hand in hand with the one I love.

[Tndream]

broken bones, broken hearts,
stripped down and torn apart
a lil bit of rust im still runnin...
counting miles counting tears,
twisten road shiftin gears
year after year, its all or nothin
im not home, im not lost
still holding on to what i got
aint much left ,lord theres so much thats been stolen,
yes ive lost everything ive had, but im not dead, at least not yet
still alive, still alone ,still unbroken
im still alone, still alive, im still unbroken

Still unbroken ~ Lynryd Skynyrd

[FlowerGirl228]

I never thought I could act this way
And Ive got to say that I just dont get it
I dont know where we went wrong
But the feelins gone
And I just cant get it back

[FlowerGirl228]

How many here does this fit ?

Taken from "Big girls don't cry"-Fergie


The path that I'm walkin', I must go alone
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown
Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay

I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do

[FlowerGirl228]

If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad ?
