Favorite Song Lyrics

Post your favorite song lyrics here and where they came from, Gaslight included. I'm not talking entire songs, I'm talking one liners, like:

"You said, 'I love you more than the stars in the sky, but your name just escapes me tonight'" - "1930" by The Gaslight Anthem

"I fell asleep most nights with your pictures right behind my eyes...your eyes" - "The Blues, Mary" by Brian Fallon

"I'm not leaving this place unless I'm leaving with you, 'cause you're the only person with a half-decent heart here, and I know you will put it to use 'til it's gone" - "The Big Sleep" by Streetlight Manifesto

"Annie says, 'The saddest day I came across was when I learned that life goes on without me'" - "A Better Place, a Better Time" by Streetlight Manifesto

"And I got nothin' for you darlin' but a story to tell about the rain on the pavement and the sound as it fell" - "Wherefore Art Thou, Elvis?" by The Gaslight Anthem

"I lean on you sometimes just to see you're still there. Your feet can't take the weight of one, much less two; we hit concrete" - "Kiss the Bottle" by Jawbreaker

"And if the sky falls tonight, we'll all run outside and catch stars in the streetlight" - "Stars In the Streetlight" by Chamberlain

"Go on west or come to me, just stay the same; don't ever change" - "Wait At Milano" by Tim Barry

Also, pretty much all of Thunder Road and Bobby Jean. I'll stop there and add more later, as I could go on and on.

"That we all are stronger than everything they taught us that we should fear" - Reinventing Axl Rose - Against Me!

Awesome song! I wanna get a tattoo saying "STAY FREE" across my knuckles at some point.

I'm struggling to think of many song lyrics at the moment, but one of my favourites is -

"We learnt more from a three minute record
Than we ever learnt in school" - from No Surrender by Bruce Springsteen

Well I'm half awake and half a world away
all my past mistakes and every misspent day
i wouldnt have it any other way
-Less Than Jake, Look What Happened

"This mechanical impulse knows not loyalty or mercy" Against Me! - "Animal"

"We sing with our heroes, 33 rounds per minute, we're never going home 'till the sun says we're finished, I'll love you forever if I ever love at all" C'mon really? Like you guys don't know

"And there aint no turning back when a train is off its track and there's nothing we can do but watch it crash!" Streetlight Manifesto - "Watch it Crash"

I can go on all day, so I'll stop right there before I get to carried away

I saw a girl with a tattoo around where a shirt collar would go that said "I'll love you forever if I ever love at all" it was awesome

"You walk me to the sun, we walk through the rain, we pass through the love and bask in the pain." - "Midnight Mile" by The Bouncing Souls

"Caution; The solid ground that you are on will slide from under you"- I Was on a Mountain- Hot Water Music

"I gotta remind myself that even at my worst I can keep my head"- Thankfully- Bayside

"And I always have remembered, incase you're wondering.
84 takes a life time but Bobby does it better."- Angry Johnny and the Radio- Gaslight Anthem

"I can't stand standing for nothing when standing up is all I know"- California Burritos- Chuck Ragan

Fuck the Goo Goo Dolls, they can suck my balls

They look like the dogs that hang out at the mall

Eminem can suck it, so can Dr. Dre

They can suck each other just because they're gay

They can suck a dick, they can lick a sack

Everybody shout, "Heavy metal's back!"


Deep.

Haha - Steel Panther!

Question, what does the TGA quote mean? Never really made sense to me.

I've read some places that it's referring to listening to Bob Dylan with a friend, but I'm not entirely sure since I always took it into a personal meaning for myself and never really paid attention to what it meant.

And I had a feeling that someone would say something about that California Burritos lyric XD

"Ha, you think it's funny, turning rebellion into money."

-(White Man) In Hammersith Palais by The Clash. It's punk rock in a nutshell basically.

"The sun ain't yellow, it's chicken!"
-Tombstone Blues - Bob Dylan

Those are just off the top of my head.

I think someone once mentioned on here that 84 is something to do with a timber delivery company, and it refers to Brians pre-TGA job as a roofer. I'm not familiar with this though so maye one of our American users can enlighten you a bit more!

"Your torn like a flag on a battleground
Stepped on and beaten down
But somehow, yeah somehow
You still manage, yeah you manage to survive
You manage to survive."
Courage - Authority Zero

song helped me through a little falling out that happened earlier this year

"When I finally get around to calling home, I'll have long forgotten the area code" - "Heart BPM" by Fake Problems

"You made me promise that I would let you know if I found myself
struggling to cope. How can I lay that on you when you're struggling
yourself? It's times like this that nothing seems to change. You are
her eyes and legs now so she can keep her strength. I used to hold on
to belief that things would work out in the end...There's no shame in hoping for a miracle." - "Rearranging the Dust" by Apologies, I Have None

Poor man wanna be rich
Rich man wanna be king
and a king aint satisfied till he rules everything

"Badlands"

"These days I cuddle up to my guitar instead, but oh, what I would give, not to stumble but to really fall in love, and I could substitute my singing for the sound of someone sleeping next to me"

Frank Turner (Substitute)

Soppy but damn good!

I tried to get myself a job
Because that's the way that things are
Wanna have nice things and go far
Well I'm sorry honey, I ain't got much money
But I can sure play this here old guitar
As the years went on, I made a few mistakes
It was a trouble bound for this young man
The police knockin' at my door,
"Well he don't live here no more, and he's playin' in a rock 'n' roll band."

Born to Lose - Social D

I love this line from Straight To Hell:

'Let me tell you 'bout your blood, bamboo kid. It ain't coca cola, it's rice.'
