Your favorite songs

[lastwyvern]

this is quite the opposite of "Poast your favorite song lyrics", but the way you post them is the same. Pick your favorite song simply if it sounds nice to you. You don't have to add the lyrics, but it would be nicer if you did. If you post a double, I have a bicycle!

Mest - Rooftops

Starin' at the broke street light,
Some of those lonely nights,
I didn't know if we would make it through.

Stayin' up 'til 5 AM,
Watchin' the sun come up again,
I'd do it all again if i could.

So if I call will you be there?
I miss the nights we used to share...

Up on the rooftop,
Listening to punk rock,
Nobody believed that,
This could be our one shot,
That was all we had...
The nights that we wasted,
Got us through the days that,
Seemed never ending,
Always in a haze but,
We just didn't care...
No, we just didn't care...

The only place that we could go,
Starin' at a world we didn't know,
Wondering if this was all we had.

40 ounce, intoxicated dreams,
All our faded memories,
That's what made us who we are today.

So if I call will you be there?
(If I call will you be there?)
I miss the nights we used to share...

Up on the rooftop,
Listening to punk rock,
Nobody believed that,
This could be our one shot,
That was all we had...
The nights that we wasted,
Got us through the days that,
Seemed never ending,
Always in a haze but,
We just didn't care...
No, we just didn't care...

All these nights,
Left alone,
Is what made us...

All these nights,
Left alone,
Is what made us...
What made us...

Up on the rooftop,
Listening to punk rock,
Nobody believed that,
This could be our one shot,
That was all we had...

Up on the rooftop,
Listening to punk rock,
Nobody believed that,
This could be our one shot,
That was all we had...
The nights that we wasted,
Got us through the days that,
Seemed never ending,
Always in a haze but,
We just didn't care...
No, we just didn't care...

Anyone who knows me might have seen this coming.

From the cradle of silence and of light
It took a birth in human blood - angels cry -
To the ages of violence and of hate
To explore the left hand path I came alive
Into my striding, the shell of a god in the cold
My soul is just hiding, my spirit holding on to control

(Chorus:)
Flame of the Nile, fire in the darkness
To swallow the light
Behold the ghost of a god
God from the Nile, eternally roaming
To swallow the light
Behold the spirit of a pharaoh,
Pharaooooh, pharaoooh, woooaahhohooo

[solo: Jens]

To the world of spirits he's sailing on and on
Why magician don't you feel they broke the seal
Cyril's facing the tyrant everywhere
Far away from his grave, Seth is free

Roaming through ages
Begetting advice for your kings, yaoooow!
Leading the stages
Of history that's bound to my strings, no, no, nooooo

[repeat chorus]
[solo: Jens]

Don't you see that it's coming, it's near
The wise man screamed in the noble chamber
Just a parrot in a rich man's cage
He's a jester on the count

The wise man died and the seance went on
And the red one reigned in the noble chamber
In dreams of a masterplan
For a billion parrots in a big cage

Afraid of the eyes that shine in the darkness
You don't realize, afraid in the haze
You point at the man that grins in your nightmare
And don't realize the mirror you gaze into

You don't wanna see the spirits behind sceneries

[solo: Jens]

I guide your away I make you stay alive
My servants taught you know how to survive
The way of light is food for your soul
But it's your belly that's taken control

No guiding light would shine anymore
It's just the red god replacing the core
He'll rise again to open up the gate
We have to learn for our future, our fate...

[solo: Both]
[repeat Chorus]

The ghost of a god...
Slave to the pyramid...

I never have one overall favorite song. Usually I'm just absolutely obsessed with some songs for a while, then move on to other musical obsessions after days upon weeks of listening to them. Right now, this is my list.

Who Is It? - Michael Jackson
Anytime - Eve 6
Dream On - Aerosmith
A Wish - Secret of Mana (Or a least a mix I made of it. Though I do have the original also.)
Ecruteak City - Pokemon Gold & Silver (Again, a mix I made of it.)
Mischief - Pacman 2, The New Adventures (Memories...=3)

[MuffinSticks]

While you were sleeping- Elvis Perkins

While you were sleeping
Your babies grew,
The stars shined,
And the shadows moved.
Time flew,
The phone rang,
There was a silence
When the kitchen sang.
Songs competed
Like kids for space,
We stared for hours
At our makers` face.
They gave us picks
Said "go mine the sun,
And go gold,
And come cack when you`re done".

Uh oh
Uh oh

While you were sleeping
You tossed, you turned
You rolled your eyes
As the world burned.
The heavens fell,
The earth quaked.
I thought you must be,
But you weren`t awake.
No, you were dreaming
You ignored the sun,
You grew a power garden
For your little ones.
And you found brides for them
On christmas eve,
They hung young Cain
From the Adam trees,

And danced.
Uh oh

While you were sleeping
I tossed and I turned too,
I closed my eyes,
But the future burned through
The planet turned
A hair grey
As I relived
The day.

While you were sleeping
The money died,
Machines were harmless,
And the earth sighed
The wind.
You swept sound,
And gravity brought
My love around.
The ocean`s roe
Sang about decay,
The witches flew
And the mermaids stayed
Full of dreams.
You overslept.
In keeping with the quiet
Through the walls I krept.
I walked on tip-toes,
Sent darkness swirling
Over all the kitchen
In the early morning.

Uh oh
Uh oh

I`ll never catch up to you
Who sleep so sound.
My yawns are useless,
My heart beats too loud
To go to sleep,
My mind`s too proud
To bow out.

While you were sleeping
The time changed,
All your things
Were re-arranged.
Your vampire mirrors,
Face to face,
They aw forever out in to space
And found you dreaming
In black and white
While it rained in all
The colors of the night.

Uh oh
Uh oh

I watched the TV`s memories,
Champion ships
Vanish to sea.
Can it be
My honey between
You and me?

So I waited for
The riddled sky
To be solved again
By the sunrise.
I made a death-
Soup for life,
For my father`s
Ill widowed wife.

Did you have that strangest dream
Before you woke?
`Cause in your gown you had
the butterfly stroke.
Did it escape you
Like some half-told joke
When you reached for
Your plume of smoke?

And it`ll haunt you
My honey bee,
Anyone who`s anyone
Has that same dream.
Were you falling,
Were you flying,
Were you calling out
Or were you dying?

But thank god you`re up now,
Let`s stay this way,
Else there`ll be no mornings
And no more days.
`Cause when we`re dreaming
The babies grow,
The stars shine
And the shadows flow.
Time flies,
The phone rings,
There is a silence
When everbody tries to sing.

Uh oh,
Uh oh
Uh oh
Uh oh
Uh oh�..

I never have one overall favorite song. Usually I'm just absolutely obsessed with some songs for a while, then move on to other musical obsessions after days upon weeks of listening to them. Right now, this is my list.

I'm kind of the same, I keep picking up new songs that I eventually get really into, but then fade in excitement after many listens over time. I could never pick a *#1 favorite* song, either.

ITT: Jason posts a song with one of the most awesome choruses EVER.

[Baconsticks]

Chorus: Notorious B.I.G. (repeat 2X)

I don't wanna live no mo'
Sometimes I hear death knockin at my front do'
I'm livin everyday like a hustle, another drug to juggle;
another day, another struggle

[Notorious B.I.G.]
I know how it feel to wake up pants up
Pockets broke as hell, another rock to sell
People look at you like youse the user
Selling drugs to all the losers, mad buddha abuser
But they don't know about your stress-filled day
babby on the way mad bills to pay
That's why you drink Tanqueray; so you can reminisce
and wish, you wasn't livin so devilish, ssshit
I remember I was just like you
Smokin blunts with my crew, flippin over 62's
Cause G-E-D, wasn't B-I-G
I got P-A-I-D, that's why my moms hate me
She was forced to kick me out, no doubt
Then I figured out nicks went for twenty down South
Packed up my tools for my raw power move
Glock nineteen for casket and flower moves
for chumps tryin to stop my flow
And what they don't know will show on the autopsy
Went to see Papi, to cop me a brick
Asked for some consignment and he wasn't tryin to hear it
Smoking mad Newports cause I'm due in court
for an assault, that I caught, in Bridgeport, New York
Catch me if you can like the Gingerbread Man
You better have your gat in hand, cause man

Chorus

[Notorious B.I.G.]
I had the master plan
I'm in the caravan on my way to Maryland
with my man Two-Tecs to take over this projects
They call him Two-Tecs, he tote two tecs
And when he start to bust he like to ask, "Who's next?"
I got my honey on the Amtrak
with the crack in the crack of her ass
Two pounds of hash in the stash
I wait for hon to make some quick cash
I told her she could be Lieutenant, bitch got gassed
At last, I'm literally loungin black
Sittin back, countin double digit thousand stacks
Had to re-up; see what's up with my peeps
Toyota Deal-a-Thon had it cheap on the Jeeps
See who got smoked, what rumors was spread
Last I heard I was dead with six to the head
Then I got the phone call, it couldn't hit me harder
We got infiltrated, like Nino at the Carter
Heard Tec got murdered in a town I never heard of
by some bitch named Alberta over nickel-plated burners
And my bitch swear to God she won't snitch
I told her when she hit the bricks I'll make the hooker rich
Conspiracy, she'll be home in three
Until then I looks out for the whole family
A true G, that's me, blowing like a bubble;
in the everyday struggle

Chorus

[Notorious B.I.G.]
I'm seeing body after body and our mayor Guiliani
ain't tryin to see no black man turn to John Gotti
My daughter use a potty so she's older now
Educated street knowledge I'ma mold 'er now
Trick a little dough buyin young girls fringes
Dealin with the dope fiend binges, seein syringes
in the vein; hard to explain, how I maintain
The crack smoke make my brain feel so strange
Breakin days on the set, no sweat
Drunk off Moet, can't bag yet because it's still wet
But when that dry, baggin five at a time
I can clock about nine on the check cashin line
I had the first and the third; rehearse that's my word
Thick in the game, D's knew my first name
Should I quit? Shit no! Even though they had me scared
Yo they got a eight, I gotta teck with air holes..
..and that's just how the shit go in the struggle mermaid puncher

[Puff] Hah.. c'mon.. what you say?

Chorus 2X

[Notorious B.I.G.]
Uhh, uhh
Junior M.A.F.I.A., right (yeah..)
(rock on..)
(WOO! .. Biggie Smalls .. right ..)

[nickspoon]

Lyrics are pretty important to me, so my favourite songs are largely composed of the songs I like with good lyrics.

One of those is Death Cab For Cutie - I Will Follow You Into The Dark

Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the 'NO's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the 'NO's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
'cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the 'NO's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

FM Static - Moment of Truth

Here we are, in the best years of our lives.
With no way of knowing, when the
whee'll stop spinning cause we don't
know where we're going...
and here we are, on the best day of our lives.
And it's a go, lets make it last, so cheers you
all to that, 'cause this moment's never comin' back

I used to know her brother, but I never
knew I loved her, 'till the day she laid her
eyes on me. Now I'm jumpin' up and down,
she's the only one around, and she means
every little thing to me

I've got your picture in my wallet, and your
Phone number to call it, and I miss you more,
Whenever I think about you,. I've got
your mixed tape in my Walkman, been so
long since we've been talkin' and in a few
more days, we'll both hook up, forever and ever

And here I am, on the west coast of
American and I've been tryin' to think for weeks of
all the ways to ask you, And now
I've brought you to the place, Where I've
poured my heart out, a million times, for a million
reasons, To offer it to you
I used to know her brother, but I never
knew I loved her, 'till the day she laid her
eyes on me. Now I'm jumpin' up and down,
she's the only one around, and she means
every little thing to me

I've got your picture in my wallet, and your
Phone number to call it, and I miss you more,
Whenever I think about you,. I've got
your mixed tape in my Walkman, been so
long since we've been talkin' and in a few
more days, we'll both hook up, forever and ever

I used to know her brother, but I never
knew I loved her, 'till the day she laid her
eyes on me. Now I'm jumpin' up and down,
she's the only one around, and she means
every little thing to me

I've got your picture in my wallet, and your
Phone number to call it, and I miss you more,
Whenever I think about you,. I've got
your mixed tape in my Walkman, been so
long since we've been talkin' and in a few
more days, we'll both hook up, forever and ever

"The Best Is Good Enough" - Metropolis
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsVP5fPy1Do
The chorus part is catchy to the point of being completely awesome. Great Night ranger feel to it.

Lyrics:
You can never
Set your sights too high
Ever since I saw you
I know why

There were many times
I was sorely tempted
To go with second rate
Thought I couldn't wait

But I made my mind up
And I took the cure
Now here's the wind up

The best is good enough for me
Your touch has made my life as fine as it can be
The best is good enough for me
You are the very best these eyes have ever seen

There were faces
And words that charmed
And bodies that I wouldn't mind holding in my arms
Never certain
That I would get it right
There were feelings that were much to strong
For me to fight

But I bit the bullet
Pushed it all aside
I don't regret it

The best is good enough for me
Your touch has made my life as fine as it can be
The best is good enough for me
You are the very best these eyes have ever seen

You're my room at the top
And all I want is the best of what you got

Like fine precision
Like a dream come true
I made my decision
When I laid my eyes on you

The best is good enough for me
Your touch has made my life as fine as it can be
The best is good enough for me
You are the very best these eyes have ever seen

[Doc Sigma]

"Komm, süßer Tod" from Neon Genesis Evangelion. It sounds all happy and upbeat, which starkly contracts with both 1) the song's depressing lyrics and 2) the fact that the song is being played while the world is ending.

I know, I know I've let you down
I've been a fool to myself
I thought that I could
live for no one else
But now through all the hurt & pain
It's time for me to respect
the ones you love
mean more than anything
So with sadness in my heart
(I) feel the best thing I could do
is end it all
and leave forever
what's done is done it feels so bad
what once was happy now is sad
I'll never love again
my world is ending

I wish that I could turn back time
cos now the guilt is all mine
can't live without
the trust from those you love
I know we can't forget the past
you can't forget love & pride
because of that, it's killing me inside

It all returns to nothing, it all comes
tumbling down. tumbling down.
tumbling down
It all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down,
letting me down
In my heart of hearts
I know that I could never love again
I've lost everything
everything
everything that matters to me,
matters in this world

I wish that I could turn back time
cos now the guilt is all mine
can't live without
the trust from those you love
I know we can't forget the past
you can't forget love & pride
because of that, it's killing me inside

It all returns to nothing, it all comes
tumbling down. tumbling down.
tumbling down
It all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down,
letting me down
It all returns to nothing, it all comes
tumbling down. tumbling down.
tumbling down
It all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down,
letting me down

[KurtmanJP]

"Be Good To Yourself" - Journey

Runnin out of self-control
Gettin close to an overload
Up against a no win situation
Shoulder to shoulder, push and shove
I'm hangin up my boxin gloves
I'm ready for a long vacation

Be good to yourself when, nobody else will
Oh be good to yourself
You're walkin a high wire, caught in a cross fire
Oh be good to yourself

When you cant give no more
They want it all but you gotta say no
I'm turnin off the noise that makes me crazy
Lookin back with no regrets
To forgive is to forget
I want a little piece of mind to turn to

Be good to yourself when, nobody else will
Oh be good to yourself
You're walkin a high wire, caught in a cross fire
Oh be good to yourself
Be good to yourself when, nobody else will
