Favorite song lyric

[mkwerx]

From 'Too Old to Die Young' by Kevin Welch, also recorded at times by Moe Bandy and Mick Flavin

"Let me watch my children grow
To see what they become
Oh Lord don't let that cold wind blow
Till I'm too old to die young"

From 'Sound of Silence' by Simon & Garfunkel

"People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs
That voices never shared
Because no one dared
Disturb the sound
Of Silence"

 

[teflon6string]

As a rock/blues guitarist, I focus on riffs and chords, sometimes to the exclusion of lyrics. Add hearing loss and screaming tinnitus to that equation and I often have no idea what a singer is up to.

"I'm in the mood for another BM, in the mood for another BM, in the mooooood..."
Robert Plant

"You don't know peace 'till you've had suffering..."

By Mushroomhead- Solitaire Unraveling

 

[notazombie]

Choices always were a problem for you.
What you need is someone strong to guide you.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow,
What you need is someone strong to use you.
Like me.

Tool - Opiate

 

[Medic!]

I wear this crown of sh*t
Upon my liars chair
Full of broken thoughts
That I cannot repair

Johnny Cash covered it.

Great song. This one gets me to.
It's a Bonni Prince Billy song. Covered by Jonny cash.
And if I'm not mistaken that's his voice on backup.

Well, you're my friend
And can you see
Many times we've been out drinking
Many times we've shared our thoughts
But did you ever, ever notice
The kind of thoughts I got?
Well, you know I have a love
A love for everyone I know
And you know I have a drive
To live, I won't let go
But can you see this opposition
Comes rising up sometimes?
That it's dreadful imposition
Comes blacking in my mind
And then I see a darkness
And then I see a darkness
And then I see a darkness
And then I see a darkness
Did you know how much I love you?
Is a hope that somehow you
Can save me from this darkness
Well, I hope that someday, buddy
We have peace in our live
Together or apart
Alone or with our wives
And we…

 

[Joe13]

So I sit here
In my hole
I hope the Lord can
Come save my soul

'Cause I'm a sinner to my core
I ask forgiveness and nothing more

Darkness surrounds me
And I can't see
All of the demons
Right here with me

'Cause I'm a sinner to my core
I ask forgiveness and nothing more

My eyes are open
Now I can see
All of the damage
Brought on by me
I'm a sinner to my core
And I ask forgiveness and nothing more
'Cause I'm a sinner to my core
I ask forgiveness and nothing more
I ask forgiveness and nothing more

First half is sung by Aaron Lewis and second half is Willy Nelson

"Today I didn't even have to use my AK,
I gotta say it was a good day."

[Caveman Jim]

"Oh, yeah, you wreck me, baby
You break me in two
But you move me, honey
Yes you do"

"I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last three days, the rain was unstoppable
It was always cold, no sunshine"

The late & great Tom Petty

 

[Caveman Jim]

"Oh, take your time,
don't live too fast.
Troubles will come,
and they will pass.
Go find a woman,
and you'll find love.
And don't forget, son, there is someone up above."

Simple Man. Lynyrd Skynyrd

Words to live by.

Good one

 

[Kruel J]

Twisting and turning unable to sleep
DO THE VOICES EVER STOP
My thoughts speak louder the more I resist
AND THEY'RE DRIVING ME INSANE
DO THEY EVER GO

Inside I'm a danger to myself
I'M A DANGER TO MYSELF
Inside I'm a prisoner of my own hell
MY OWN HELL

Losing the battle I've waged on myself
LOCK ME UP AND TOSS THE KEY
Toys in the attic it's all getting worse
WHY WON'T I LET ME BE OH GOD MAKE IT STOP

Inside I'm a danger to myself
I'M A DANGER TO MYSELF
Inside I'm a prisoner of my own hell
MY OWN HELL

FIT ME FOR A STRAIGHT JACKET
PUT ME IN A PADDED CELL
I'M A DANGER TO YOU ALL
And I'm a danger to myself

Inside I'm a danger to myself
I'M A DANGER TO MYSELF
Inside I'm a prisoner of my own hell
MY OWN HELL

Inside I'm a danger to myself
I'M A DANGER TO MYSELF
Inside I'm a prisoner of my own hell
MY OWN HELL
