"She only comes when she's on top" by British group JAMES

 

[alexfot55]

Sail on silver bird.... "Bridge over troubled water" by Simon and Garfunkel.

 

[madguy7]

One of my favorite group is Snow Patrol. Set The Fire To The Third Bar a duet with Martha Wainwright.
I lay down on the cold ground and I
pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms
After I have travelled so far
we'd set the fire to the third bar
we'd share each other like an island
until exhausted close our eyelids.

Josh Royse - My Kind Of Beautiful
Lets draw hearts to carve into the sand
I smile as I hold your hand
Lets listen to the waves crash
As our hearts collide

 

[Aldric]

I dont have all time favorite lyric but i like a lot the song 'My Heart is Yours - Didrik Solli-Tangen (Norway Eurovision 2010)'

 

[JTP039]

They'll take what they need
and then give you back some;
Just enough to get by,
Enough sting to be stung,
Enough poison to choke,
Enough rope to be hung.

"Protection" by Massive Attack (1994)

My favorite line of this song, if I can even pick just one, would be:

"I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection"

Protection
Massive Attack

This girl I know needs some shelter
She don't believe anyone can help her
She's doing so much harm, doing so much damage
But you don't want to get involved
You tell her she can manage

And you can't change the way she feels
But you could put your arms around her
I know you want to live yourself
But could you forgive yourself
If you left her just the way
You found her

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

You're a boy and I'm a girl
But you know you can lean on me
And I don't have no fear
I'll take on any man here
Who says that's not the way it should be

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

She's a girl and you're a boy
Sometimes you look so small, look so small
You've got a baby of your own
When your baby's grown, she'll be the one
To catch you when you fall

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

You're a girl and I'm a boy
You're a girl and I'm a boy, yeah
You're a girl and I'm a boy
You're a girl and I'm a boy

Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter
Just runnin' round and round, Helter Skelter
And I've leaned on you for years
Now you can lean on me
And that's more than love, that's the way
It should be

Now I can't change the way you think
But I could put my arms around you
That's just part of the deal
That's the way I feel

I put my arms around you
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

You're a boy and I'm a girl
You're a boy and I'm a girl, hey
You're a boy and I'm a girl
You're a boy and I'm a girl, yeah

"Protection" Massive Attack

Boys by Sabrina may not be the most beautiful song you ever heard,

Probably my most favorite that I can remember
Ronfar: The trick is to know when to walk away and to know when to run

And of course
Quark: Dont you know those diamonds are made from my sh-

This is about songs, not TV shows... but I think there's also a thread for those quotes.

"Your Cheatin' Heart" ~ Hank Williams

Your cheatin' heart
Will make you weep
You'll cry and cry
And try to sleep
But sleep won't come
The whole night through
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you...

When tears come down
Like falling rain
You'll toss around
And call my name
You'll walk the floor
The way I do
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you...

Your cheatin' heart
Will pine some day
And crave the love
You threw away
The time will come
When you'll be blue
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you...

When tears come down
Like falling rain
You'll toss around
And call my name
You'll walk the floor
The way I do
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you...

Depeche Mode - Walking In My Shoes

I would tell you about the things
They put me through
The pain I've been subjected to
But the lord himself would blush
The countless feasts laid at my feet
Forbidden fruits for me to eat
But I think your pulse would start to rush

Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes

Morality would frown upon
Decency look down upon
The scapegoat fate's made of me
But I promise now, my judge and jurors
My intentions couldn't have been purer
My case is easy to see

I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
Peace of mind after what I've been through
And before we talk of any repentance
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

Noel Gallagher L The Dying of the light



I keep on running but I can't get to the mountain
Behind me lie the years that I misspent
And I've been sitting like a flower in the fountain
When all the love I'm gonna need is heaven sent
Gonna try my best to get there
But I can't afford the bus fare
And the storm that's rolling over
Man, it makes me wanna cry
And I was told
That the streets were paved with gold
And there'd be no time for getting old when we were young
It's alright, if you dance with me tonight
We'll fight the dying of the light and we'll catch the sun

Rocky Horror Picture Show
I can make you a man

A weakling weighing ninety-eight pounds
Will get sand in his face
When kicked to the ground
And soon in the gym
With a determined chin
The sweat from his pores
As he works for his cause
Will make him glisten
And gleam
And with massage
And just a little bit of steam, haha
He'll be pink and quite clean
He'll be a strong man
Oh, honey, but the wrong man
He'll eat nutritious, high protein
And swallow raw eggs
Try to build up his shoulders
His chest, arms, and legs
Such an effort
If he only knew of my plan
In just seven days
I can make you a man
He'll do press-ups and chin-ups
Do the snatch, clean, and jerk
He thinks dynamic tension
Must be hard work
Such strenuous living
I just don't understand
When in just seven days
Oh, baby, I can make you a man

You think you're a man but you're only a boy
You think you're a man you are only a toy
You think you're a man but you just couldn't see
You weren't man enough to satisfy me

I Belong to You - Lenny Kravitz

I always loved you from the start
But I could not figure out, that I had to do it everyday
So I put away the fight
Now I'm going to live my life, giving you the most in every way

 

[portugal10]

A bit random but....


Anouk (Birds)


Isolated from the outside
Clouds have taken all the light
I have no control
It seems my thoughts wander off
Of the time when I tried to
Live life without you
Birds falling down the rooftops
Out of the sky like raindrops
No air, no pride
If being myself is what I do wrong
Then I would rather not be right
Hope's turned into fear
With my one wing I can't fly
With sunrise embrace my
Dreams tight and that's why
Birds falling down the rooftops
Out of the sky like raindrops
No air, no pride
Birds
To a place without fear, with no moonlight
All I…




Stunning lyric

I hate you you hate me I cant look at you and breatheso full of hate that I cant see
