I figured, I'd better stick up one of my own...
There was a post a little while back, where it was argued that song lyrics were superior to any classical poetry...
Although, whether this is the case or not is a matter to be figured out there (a little farther down the DVD and Movies forum I think?)
However, I was curious to know, what songs, and/or lyrics, have really made a difference with you?
Whether because they identified with what was happening with you at that time of your life...
If you thought the lyrics were just cool, and were the part of the song that kept you humming it for the rest of the day, maybe even made you buy the album and discover a band?
The lyrics, of a song you may even loathe, but for some inextricable reason, you never seem to have forgotten?
Song that made me realise that..well..the lyrics are obvious but they struck me right in my heart and I've lived by them ever since:
What the hell's going on here?
First off-let's take it from the start
Straight out-can't change what's in my heart
No one-can tear my beliefs apart,
You can't bring me
You ain't-never seen no one like me
Prevail-regardless what the cost might be
Power-flows inside of me,
You can't bring me
Never-fall as long as i try
Refuse-to be a part of your lie
Even-if it means i die
You can't bring me down?
Who the hell you calling crazy?
You wouldn't know what crazy was
If charles manson was eating fruit loops on your front porch
Time out-let's get something clear
I speak-more truth than you want to hear
Scapegoat-to cover up your fear,
You can't bring me
You ain't-never seen so much might
Fight for-what i know is right
What up-you got yourself a fight,
You can't bring me
Stand up-we'll all sing along
Together-ain't nothin' as strong
Won't quit-we ain't in the wrong,
You can't bring me down!
You can't bring me down!
Just cause you don't understand what's going on
Don't mean it don't make no sense
And just cause you don't like it
Don't mean it ain't no good
And let me tell you something
Before you go taking a walk in my world
You better take a look at the real world
Because this ain't no mister roger's neighborhood
Can you say "feel like sheet?"
Yea maybe sometimes i do feel like sheet
I ain't happy 'bout it,
But i'd rather feel like sheet than be full of sheet!
And if i offended you,
Oh i'm sorry but maybe you need to be offended
But here's my apology and one more thing...
Fun you!
Because you can't bring me down!
