[Ushujaa]

Now don't go listing a whole song i just thought it'd be interesting to see the different lyrics people might post here...


I'll start,
From Billy Joel's "Vienna"

"You got your passion, you got your pride, but don't you know that only fools are satisfied!
Dream on but don't imagine they'll all come true"

From Owl city's "Tidal Wave"
"All my life i wish i broke mirrors, instead of promises, cuz all i see is a shattered conscience staring right back at me..."

[Cdot]

O-Zone
Numa Numa (English Version)

When you leave my colors fade to gray
Hey little lover stay, or all my colors fade away
Every word of love I use to say.
Now I paint them everyday.

[Simbaholikov]

From the 'Soviet March' from RA3
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBiBlB-O ... re=related)
Its a rough translation, there seems to be a few of them, but this one seems the best one


Our Soviet Union, will conquer the world
From Europe to Neva, the east and beyond!
Hail Mother Russia, and everyone will sing
Capital, Vodka, our Great Soviet Bear


All peoples stand that, their fortress secure
That Great Lenin lead us, the nation to light
From faithful workers, a grateful low bow
From the most powerful nation on Earth!

[YFWE]

"But plant your hope with good seeds
Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds
Rain down, rain down on me
Look over your hills and be still
The sky above us shoots to kill
Rain down, rain down on me"

~"Thistle and Weeds" - Mumford and Sons


I have a ton of lyrics I particularly like, but I can rarely think of them off the top of my head. I'll post the others as I think about them; usually I have to listen to them in order to jog my memory.

[SarabisMate]

Two Weeks - All That Remains

"and still you feel like the loneliness
is better replaced by this
I don't believe it this way
and I can see the fear in your eyes
I've seen it materialize
Growing stronger each day "

[Ushujaa]

Yellowcard, "Fighting"

I said i'm ok but i know how to lie... i will never give up, no i'll never give up!"

R.E.M- Nightswimming


"the photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago
Turned around backwards so the windshield shows
every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse
still its so much clearer

I forgot my shirt at the waters edge, the moon is low tonight"

[Ushujaa]

Pippen, "Corner of the sky"

"So many men seem destined
To settle for something small
But I won't rest until I know I'll have it all"

[MusicLion101]

Extreme- Get the funk out
