(How long can a "lyric" be anyways?...Oh well...)

My personal anthem...

I am the question to the world,
Not an answer to he heard,
Or a moment that's held in your arms.
And what do you think you'd ever say?
I won't listen anyway.
You don't know me and,
I'll never be what you want me to be.

I'm Still Here from Treasure Planet, preformed by Johnny Reznick

Meh, doesn't matter.........

Hey Alice, where is that "Alice and I remember everything" from? Is it a personal quote or a lyric?

"Don't try to fix me,
I'm not broken.
Hello, I'm the lie,
Living for you
So you can hide
Don't cry."

-"Hello" by Evanescence

But to really appreciate it, you have to hear her sing it. Amy Lee is gifted vocally.

Gotta LOVE her voice!!

Hands down... favorite lyrics EVER:

"So pull me under your weather patterns,
your cold fronts and the rain don't matter,
because a sun burn's what I needed..."

- "Hurricane" by Something Corporate

And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive

Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls. I know it's long, but I couldn't pick my favorite line/verse.

Some balls are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure
They're the balls that I like best
My balls are always bouncing
To the left and to the right
It's my belief that my big balls
Should be held every night

Oh I've got big balls
I've got big balls
And they're such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he's got big balls
And she's got big balls
But we got the biggest balls of them all

AC\DC - Big Balls

I Have A Dream

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I was about to post exactly those lines! Her voice is incredible. She really is a talented singer...

Nope-erz.........

It's actually from the last scene, of the crap-tastic film "Resident Evil: Apocalypse",
you know, the one with less plot development than "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle".
See I much prefer the First one, although some scenes are pretty good in "RE:A" (mostly pointless).

But I do remember everything, usually.......

Bring on RE: Afterlife! (2006)

It's hard to rely on my good intentions
when my head's full of things that I can't mention
Seems I usually get things right
but I can't understand what I did last night

And it's hard to rely on my own good senses
when I miss so much that requires attention
I have to laugh at myself sometimes
and I can't see that I'm not blind

There's little relief
Give us reprieve
for all the things I've left behind
I'm positive that I'm not blind

-"Good Intentions" by Toad the Wet Sprocket

Best song ever!!!

Well Mr. Burns had done it
The power plant had won it
With Roger Clemens clucking all the while
Mike Scioscia's tragic illness made us smile
While Wade Boggs lay unconscious on the barroom tile

We're talking soft ball
From Maine to San Diego
Talking soft ball
Mattingly and Canseco
Ken Griffey's grotesquely swollen jaw
Steve Sax and his run-in with the law
We're talking Homer
Ozzie and the Straw

The Simpsons - Soft Ball Song

No more talk of darnkess
forget this wide-eye fears
I´m here, nothing can harm you
My word will warm and warn you

Let me be your freedom
The dayligth dry your tears
I´m here, with you beside you
to calm you and to hide you

That´s all I ask for you, the Phantom of the Opera

(When anything is followed by ... , that means sing that line in the song,
it doesn't mean words that trailed off by pauses or lowering in song volume
I usually mean it as a symbol to sing the whole paragraph,
unless it's the last line, which you just say that line.

Example:

I was walking down the street, to go to the general store
Don't shoot me please, I implore

You don't want to shoot me, I'm just walking down the street
Why is life so hard, I was... - sing everything included in that paragraph, unless noted otherwise)

One of my favorite songs, "Elastic Girl" by Kahimi Karie:

Nice to meet you, I'm the elastic girl
I can move, I can bend, I can do anything
Elastic girl friend, yeah I'm one of a kind
Watch me move now and disappear
Flick of a switch and I can blow
Blow your mind out, time out, find out now
Don't be afraid, don't need to hide
Look and find me by your side, elastic girl

Last night I dreamed that I could fly, yeah
The sky is mine, under stars that shine
A bird up in the sky tonight

Chorus - 1 / 2 / 3
I can be anything I wanna be / (3): We can be anything we want to be
Things that you never thought you would see
Open your eyes (1: and), baby you will find / (3): Open our eyes and baby we might find
Something in me and you nearly left me behind / (2): Something, something you left behind /
(3): Something we never should have left behind
Changing myself just to be next to you / (2): to be next to you / (3): just to be with you
Watch me move, watch what I do / (2): Watch me move, here's something new /
(3): But changing you would be harder to do
I can be anything I wanna be, elastic girl

Got something to say tonight / CHORUS 2

I never thought I could be able happy again
Used to cry, used to try to be myself
Elastic girl friend, I'm happy again
I can show you, I can show you how
All my dreams they come true
Nothing stopping me or in my way
I'll show you something, something new
Something I found in you, elastic girl

I'll dive down deep into the sea, yeah
In a submarine designed by me
I'll take you for a ride tonight / CHORUS 3

"Baby" - Imperial Teen

Shake shake, va va voom, vis-a-vis
Go go, I do you, you do me
Take take, I call you "sugarfree"
Slow slow, I love you, you love me
Shake shake, go go, take take, slow slow

And I can't take any calls, I'm watching sunspots on the wall
I'll never be your babydoll, dig a hole, chase a ball

I love Baby, Baby is a dog
What's up? Maybe Baby is your god
I've got Baby hott for rabies
Yes, no, maybe to bringin' up Baby

Twist twist, dosey doe, vis-a-vis
Lo lo, hold your breath, I can't breathe
Hot hot, take a photo of me
Cocoa, keep your head up, Baby

Who are you? I can't recall, I'd rather be at the mall
In a robe and a platinum fall, I'm so thin! I'm so tall!

I love... va va voom, vis-a-vis, I'll do you, you do me
I'll call you "sugarfree", I love you, you love me
Dosey doe, vis-a-vis, hold your breath, I can't breathe
Take a photo of me, we're so young, we're so free
I love... I love Baby, Baby is a dog!!! (x3), yes...

Chick - "Malibu" (great alternative-teen girl punk song)

If I were Malibu Barbie and you were suntanned Ken,
I'd probably dump your ass for G.I. Joe 'cause he's macho- uh-oh, yeah
And if I were Marsha Brady, yeah and you were Pete Partridge (Pete Partridge!),
I'd probably cheat on you with Davy Jones- uh-oh, uh uh uh uh

You don't care that I don't care at all, I'm using you!
You don't care that I don't care at all

If I were I Dream of Genie, yeah and you were Melrose Place (Melrose Place!),
I'd probably blink my eyes and send your ass to Lost in Space
but you don't care... You don't (I'm only using you!)...

Y'know- I think you're kinda stupid! Why can't you get it through your big, fat head?!
I hate you! (x2) I wish you were dead! (x2)
You don't... if I were Malibu Barbie and you were suntanned Ken.

Cardigans - "Happy Meal II"
(if I was going to commit suicide, it would be to this song - yeah, I like it)

Arrange my books in order, make up some nice stories to amuse you
Make things look smart and easy, shape up the place
Hungry for the meeting, the dinner we'll be eating
Wine that we'll be drinkin' and kinky for some thinkin' all because of you

And now I've found a partner, no one can be happier than I am
And now I've found a new friend, no one can happier than me

Prepare a meal with candles, sweet wine and strings chosen for the purpose
Then take a bath with bubbles, shape up my face
Eager for the meeting... And now..., happier than me (x3)

Heavens to Betsy - "Waitress Hell"

Miss, I need another glass. This one is smudged and my lips are too precious for this!!
We want the window table cleared and set it for us. It's not too busy for us!!
Bring a million different things to my table on a silver platter. You got nothin' better to do!!
If you smiley really big, kiss my whitey ass, maybe you'll get a dollar today!!

You're going to waitress hell, you're gonna burn in my hell! (x2)

Yeah I just do this job for a hobby, so don't worry about a tip!!
$5.25 an hour suits me fine yeah, I just love to serve!!
Sure I'll take your plate, your glass, your bowl, and then I'll wipe your chin!!
And in the end, I'm covered in your s***, you look at me like I'm the dirty one!!
You're going...

What you do, comes back to you!! (x2), you're going...
UNTIL YOU BURN, UNTIL YOU BURN IN MY HELL!!! (x2)
You're going...

My favorite MADONNA songs, from the 80s:

"Burning Up"

Don't put me off 'cause I'm on fire and I can't quench my desire
Don't you know that I'm burning up for your love?
You're not convinced that that is enough
I'll put myself in this position and I deserve the imposition
but you don't even know I'm alive and this pounding in my heart just won't die
I'm burning up!

I'm burnin' up, burnin' up for you love (x3), for you love

You're always closing your door, well that only makes me want you more
And day and night, I cry for your love
You're not convinced that that is enough to justify my wanting you
Now tell me what you want me to do
I'm not blind and I know that you want to want me but you can't let go
Come on, let go! I'm burnin...

Hoh, do you wanna see me down on my knees?
or bendin' over backwards, now would you be pleased?
Unlike the others, I'd do anything
I'm not the same, I have no shame- I'm on fire!

Come on, let go! Do you wanna... ooh yeah, I'm burnin' up
Come on-a come on, I'm burnin' up, uh uh uh
You know you got me burnin' up, baby (x2), burnin' up for you love (x4)

--------------------------------

"Material Girl"

Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me, I think they're okay
If they don't give me proper credit, I just walk away
They can beg and they can plead but they can't see the light (that's right!)
'Cause the boy with the cold, hard cash is always Mr. Right

'Cause we are living in a material world and I am a material girl (x2)

Some boys romance and some boys slow-dance, that's alright with me
If they can't raise my interest than I'll have to let them be
Some boys try and some boys lie but I don't let them play (no way!)
Only boys who save their pennies make my rainy day

'Cause we... living in a material world (x4), material! (x2)

Boys may come and boys may go and that's alright, you see
Experience has made me rich and now they're after me
'Cause everybody's living... living... a material (x6), a material world

----------------------------------

"Gambler"

I'm a gambler and I will take you by surprise
Gambler, I'll even spit between your eyes
Gambler, yeah I know all the words you say
'Cause I'm a gambler, I only play the game away

Don't wanna say this but I think that I should
I'm better off forgotten if you think that I'll be good
One day you see me, the next day I'm gone
Don't fight me baby, I don't wanna hold on- I'm a gambler, a gambler
You're not happy with the way I act
You better turn around, boy don't look back
You're gettin' angry, you know I can see
You're just jealous 'cause you can't beat me / I'm a gambler and...

You can't stop me now 'cause I'm right and I'm makin' advances
Let me show you how, tonight, I'll be takin' my chances on you
On you, on you, on you- that's right, baby, I'm a gambler
Gambler

You understand what I'm talkin' about? You can't...

You can't stop me now, I'm on the road, baby, I know how
You can't stop me now, oh no
You can't stop me now (x4)
'Cause I'm a gambler, that's right baby

---------------------------------------------

"Into the Groove" (Original radio version)

And you can dance for inspiration, c'mon, I'm waiting

Get into the groove, boy you've got to prove your love to me, yeah
Get up on your feet, yeah, step to the beat, boy, what will it be?

Music can be such a revelation, dancing around, you feel the sweet sensation
We might be lovers if the rhythm's right, I hope this feeling never ends tonight

Only when I'm dancing can I feel this free
At night, I lock the doors where no one else can see
I'm tired of dancing here all by myself
Tonight, I wanna dance with someone else / Get into...

When I get to know you in a special way, this doesn't happen to me everyday
Don't try to hide it, love wears no disguise, I see the fire burning in your eyes
Only when... get into...

Live out your fantasy here with me, just let the music set you free
Touch my body and move in time, now I know you're mine, you've got to
Get into... only when... live out... now I know you're mine (x3), get into (x4)...

------------------

"True Blue"

Hey! What?! Listen!

I've had other guys, I've looked into their eyes
but I never knew love before till you walked through my door
I've had other lips, I-hi-hi've sailed a thousand ships
but no matter where I go, you're the one for me, baby this I know 'cause it's

True love, you're the one I'm dreamin' of
Your heart fits me like a glove
And I'm gonna be true blue, baby I love you

I've heard all the lines, I've cried oh so many times
Those teardrops they won't fall again, I'm so excited 'cause you're my best friend

So if you should ever doubt, wonder what love is all about,
just think back and remember dear, those words whispered in your ear, I said
True love (x2)...

This time I know it's true love, you're the one I'm dreamin' of
Heart fits just like a glove, and I'm gonna be true blue, baby I love you

No-oh more sadness, I kiss it goodbye
The sun is bursting right out of the sky
I've searched the whole world for someone like you
Don't you know? Don't you know that it's-

True love, oh baby (x3) True love, it's true
So if... No-oh more... true love... this time I...
La la la-la la-la-la (x2), true love oh baby... la la...

--------------------------------

"Causing a Commotion"

I got the moves, baby, you got the motion
If we got together, we'd be causin' a commotion (x2)

You met your match when you met me, I know that you will disagree, it's crazy
But opposites attract, you'll see, and I won't let you get away so easy
The love you save may be your own, can't fight this feeling
Aren't you tired of being alone? You won't admit it but you know it's true
It's not a secret how I feel when I stand next to you / I got... I got...

Someday you'll see my point of view, you can't keep wishin' on the stars, baby
What works for me can work for you, you've got to make a compromise and maybe

Then we can keep our love alive and when it falls we won't let it die
It doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's how you play the game
So get into the groove / I got... causin' a commotion (x4)

I hope you find what you're looking for, is it mine? Walk through that door
We're wasting time, make up your mind, and get into the groove
Then we can... I hope you... I got... causin' a commotion (x4), I got...

-----------------------

"Oh Father"

It's funny that way, you can't get used to the tears and the pain
What a child will believe, you never loved me

You can't hurt me now, I got away from you, I never thought I would
You can't make me cry, you once had the power, I never felt so good about myself

Seems like yesterday, I laid down next to your boots and I prayed
for your anger to end, oh father I have sinned / You can't...

Oh father, you never wanted to live that way
You never wanted to hurt me, why am I running away? (x2)

Maybe someday, when I look back, I'll be able to say,
"You didn't mean to be cruel, somebody hurt you too" / You can't (x2)...

Hope is an anchor
And love is a ship
Time is the ocean
And life is a trip
You don't know where you're goin'
'Til you know where your at
And if you can't read the stars
Well, you'd better have a map
A compus and a conscious
So you don't get lost at sea
Lonesome old lonely island
Where no one wants to be

From the beginning of creation
I think our maker had a plan
For us to leave these shores
And sail beyond the sand
And let the good light guide us
To the waves and the wind
To the beaches in a world
Where we've have never been
And we'll climb upon the mountain y'all
We'll let our voices ring
And those who've never tried it
They'll be the first to sing

Oh, my, my
I'll see you on the other side
If I make it
And it might be a long hard ride
But I'm gonna take it
Sometime it seems that I don't have a prayer
Let the weather take me anywhere
But I know that I want to go
The streets are gold 'cause you'll be there
Oh, my, my

You don't bring nothin' with you here
And you can't take nothin' back
I ain't never seen a hearse with a luggage rack
So I've torn my knees a-prayin'
Scared my back from fallin' down
Spent so much time flyin' high
'Til I'm face first in the ground
So if you're up there watchin' me
Would you talk to God and say
Tell him I might need a hand
To see you both someday

Oh, my, my
So, I'll see you on the other side
If I make it
And it may be a long hard ride
But I want to take it
Sometime it seems that I don't have a prayer
Let the weather take me anywhere
But I know that I want to go
Where the streets are gold
'Cause you'll be there (you'll be there)
Oh, my, my
'Cause you'll be there (you'll be there)
Oh, my, my

George Strait "You'll Be There"

These are two songs I just can't get enough of lately.

Something about this song really gets to me; I can somehow feel the pain of his message through his voice:

"Mr Brightside" by the Killers

I'm coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

I just can’t look, its killing me
And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
Cuz I’m Mr. Brightside

I’m coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

Cuz I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside

I never...
I never...
I never...
I never...

An awesome song with a poignant political message:

"Holiday" by Green Day

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
Ashamed
The ones who die without a name

Hear the dogs howlin' out of key
To a hymn called Faith and Misery (Hey!)
And plead, the company lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protestor has crossed the line (Hey!)
To find, the money's on the other side

Can I get another Amen (Amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around the score of men (Hey!)
A gag, A plastic bag on a monument

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

"The representative from California has the floor"

Zeig Heil to the president gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass man
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Triumph by fires, setting fire
It's not a way that's meant for me
Just cuz
Just cuz because we're outlaws, yeah

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
This is our lives on holiday

If it's long, I'll only quote favourite bits...

Your Song (Moulin Rouge version)

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that i put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while i wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things i do
You see i've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what i really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes i've ever seen

Baby Mine (from Dumbo)

Baby mine don't you cry
Baby mine dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part
Baby of mine

Little one when you play
Don't you mind what they say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear
Baby of mine

From your head down to your toes
You're not much goodness knows
you're so precious to me
sweet as can be
Baby of mine
.
.
From your head down to your toes
You're not much goodness knows
But your so precious to me
Sweet as can be
Baby of mine
Baby of mine

Love is a song (from Bambi)

Love is a song that never ends
Life may be swift and fleeting
Hope may die yet love's beautiful music
Comes each day like the dawn

Love is a song that never ends
One simple theme repeating
Like the voice of a heavenly choir
Love's sweet music flows on

This Love (Maroon 5)

This love has taken it toll on me
SHe said Good bye too may times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice casue I won't say good bye anymore

In My Place (Coldplay)

How long must you wait for it?
Yeah
How long must you pay for it?
Yeah
How long must you wait for it?
For it
