"Favourite Lyrics?"

Go on, put some lyrics down you like.
Doesn't have to be a whole song, can just be a line or two, whatever speaks to you personally.
Don't worry if anyone laughs or sneers at the band you choose, that's their problem, not yours.
I'll start:

-------
“Can’t Bring me Down” – Suicidal Tendencies

What the hell's going on around 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 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 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

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 aint 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
Cause this aint no Mr. Rogers Neighborhood
Can you say "feel like sh-t?"
Yea maybe sometimes I do feel like sh-t
I aint happy about it
But I'd rather feel like sh-t
Than be full of sh-t

And if I offended you?
Oh I'm sorry
But maybe you needed to be offended
But here's my apology and one more thing
F--- you
Cause you can't bring me down

Tenacious D - Karate:

I'm gonna kick your ass, from here to Tianamen Square
Oh yeah mudder fudder, I'm gonna kick your fudding derriere yeah-ee-yeah
You broke the rules, now I'll pull out all your pubic hair!

Manic Street Preachers - Faster

I am an architect, they call me a butcher
I am a pioneer, they call me primitive
I am purity, they call me perverted
Holding you but I only miss these things when they leave

I am idiot drug hive, the virgin, the tattered and the torn
Life is for the cold made warm and they are just lizards
Self-disgust is self-obsession honey and I do as I please
A morality obedient only to the cleansed repented

I am stronger than Mensa, Miller and Mailer
I spat out Plath and Pinter
I am all the things that you regret
A truth that washes that learnt how to spell

The first time you see yourself naked you cry
Soft skin now acne, foul breath, so broken
He loves me truly this mute solitude I'm draining
I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing

Sleep can't hide the thoughts splitting through my mind
Shadows aren't clean, false mirrors, too many people awake
If you stand up like a nail then you will be knocked down
I've been too honest with myself
I should have lied like everybody else

I am stronger than Mensa, Miller and Mailer
I spat out Plath and Pinter
I am all the things that you regret
A truth that washes that learnt how to spell, learnt to spell

So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything

Excellent... Richey Edwards at his best.

I'm going to post more later :)

Eels:
"Ma won't shave me, Jesus can't save me, Dog-faced boy"

The Bluetones; Bluetonic:

"No challenge should be faced without a little charm and a lot of style"

That be my motto sometimes.
