"Your fave songs and their lyrics"

I'm not sure if it's been done before, but I'd be interested to know exactly what kinds of music everyone's into, and what songs in particular they like.

So - if you can be bothered - tell me one of your favourite music tracks and if you like, tell me the lyrics too.

Here are 2 of my personal favourites:

---------
"All I Want" by The Offspring


Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Day after day
Your whole life's a wreck
The powers that be just breath down your neck
You get no respect
You get no relief
You gotta speak up and yell out your dreams

So knock off your rules
Knock off your job
'Cos I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Just leave me alone
Not asking a lot
Just don't wanna be controlled

It's all I want

How many times
Is it gonna change
Til someone around you hears what you say?
You've tried being cool
You feel like a lie
You've played by the rules now it's their turn to try

So knock off your rules
Knock off your job
'Cos I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Just leave me alone
Not asking a lot
Just don't wanna be controlled

Said it before
I'll say it again
And if you'd just listen then it might make sense

So knock off your rules
Knock off your job
'Cos I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Just leave me alone
Not asking a lot
Just don't wanna be controlled

It's all I want

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

"Gone Away" by The Offspring

Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal it's so unfair

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it feels
Yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away

Leaving flowers on your grave
To show that I still care
But black roses and Hail Mary's
Can't bring back what's taken from me
I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade
I would

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away

I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade
I would

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away

Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Don't Forget Me: -

"I'm an ocean in your bedroom
Make you feel warm
Make you want to re-assume
Now we know it all for sure

I'm a dance hall dirty breakbeat
Make the snow fall
Up from underneath your feet
Not alone, I'll be there
Tell me when you want to go

I'm a meth lab first rehab
Take it all off
And step inside the running cab
There's a love that knows the way

I'm the rainbow in your jail cell
All the memories of
Everything you've ever smelled
Not alone, I'll be there
Tell me when you want to go

Sideways falling
More will be revealed my friend
Don't forget me
I can't hide it
Come again make me excited

I'm an inbred and a pothead
Two legs that you spread
Inside the tool shed
Now we know it all for sure

I could show you
To the free field
Overcome and more
Will always be revealed
Not alone, I'll be there
Tell me when you want to go

Sideways falling
More will be revealed my friend
Don't forget me
I can't hide it
Come again get me excited

I'm the bloodstain
On your shirt sleeve
Coming down and more are coming to believe
Now we know it all for sure

Make the hair stand
Up on your arm
Teach you how to dance
Inside the funny farm
Not alone, I'll be there
Tell me when you want to go"

I have a couple of favourites at the moment.

Guns N' Roses - Don't Cry
Guns N' Roses - November Rain
Maiden - Hallowed be thy Name
LA Guns - Over the Edge

But you can forget the lyrics since all that is requires is going over to a lyrics site.

I must agree with you Dark Mark - The Offspring's 'All I Want' is also one of my favourites!
The other one is Marilyn Manson 'The Beautiful People':


And I dont want ya
And I dont need ya
Dont bother to resist
or I'll beat ya
Its not your fault that your always wrong
The weak ones are there to justify the strong
The beautiful people
The beautiful people
Its all relative
to the size of your steeple
You cant see the forest for the trees
And you cant smell your own s*** on your knees
There's no time to discriminate
Hate every mother****er in your way
Hey you what do you see
Something beautiful and something free
Hey you are you trying to be mean
You live with apes man its hard to be clean
The worm will live in every host
Its hard to pick which one you like the most
The horrible people
The horrible people
Its all anatomic as the size of your steeple
Capitalism has made it this way
Old fashioned facism will take it away
Hey you what do you see
Something beautiful and something free
Hey you are you trying to be mean
You live with apes man its hard to be clean
There's no time to discriminate
Hate every mother****er in your way
The beautiful people
The beautiful people
The beautiful people
The beautiful people
The beautiful people
The beautiful people
The beautiful people
THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE
Hey you what do you see
Something beautiful and something free
Hey you are you trying to be mean
You live with apes man its hard to be clean
Hey you what do you see
Something beautiful and something free
Hey you are you trying to be mean
You live with apes man its hard to be clean
The beautiful people
The beautiful people
The beautiful people
The beautiful people
The beautiful people
The beautiful people
The beautiful people
The beautiful people

I have two favourite songs so I will post them both!

Aerosmith - I Don't Want To Miss A Thing

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing

Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing

I don't want to miss one smile
I don't want to miss one kiss
I just want to be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just want to hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
I don't want to miss a thing

Aerosmith - Fly Away From Here

Gotta find a way
Yeah I can't wait another day
Ain't nothin' gonna change if we stay 'round here
Gotta do what it takes
'Cuz it's all in our hands
We all make mistakes
Yeah... but it's never too late to start again
Take another breath and say another prayer

And fly away from here
Anywhere yeah I don't care
We just fly away from here
Our hopes and dreams are out there somewhere
Won't let time pass us by
We just fly

If this life gets any harder now
It ain't no never mind
You got me by your side
And any time you want
Yeah we can catch a train and find a better place
Yeah... a cuz' we won't let nothin' or no one keep gettin' us down
Maybe you and I can pack our bags and hit the sky

And fly away from here
Anywhere yeah I don't care
We just fly away from here
Our hopes and dreams are out there somewhere
Won't let time pass us by
We just fly

Do you see a bluer sky now
You can have a better life now
Open your eyes
'Cuz no one here can ever stop us
They can try but we won't let them... no way

Maybe you and I
Can pack our bags and say goodbye

And fly away from here
Anywhere honey I don't care
We just fly away from here
Our hopes and dreams are out there somewhere
Fly away from here
Yeah... anywhere honey I don't I don't I don't care
Yeah... we just fly
