What is your lyric?

[Keegan]

I don't want a whole song, or a whole verse for that matter. I just want that one line that you fell in love with. The one you wait to hear.

Mine would probably be from "What Sarah Said" by Death Cab For Cutie:
"And it came to me then, that every plan is a tiny prayer to father in time."

[Shannon]

"I know the world's a broken bone, but melt your headaches and call it home."

&

"When love is not enough to put my enemies to sleep then I'm puttin' out the lantern, find your own way back home."

[Übereil]

"Metropolis
Has nothing on this
You're breathing in fumes
I taste when we kiss"

Depeche Mode, Stripped

"I'm not going down on my knees begging you to adore me"

Depeche Mode, Shake the Disease

"I got nothing to say I ain't said before
I've bled all I can, I won't bleed no more"

The Sisters of Mercy, This Corrotion

"I know I'm nothing
I know there's nothing I can say
To change
The judgement in their ways"

Smashing Pumpkins, Ugly

"I miss everything I'll never be"

Smashing Pumpkins, Rocket

"Believe in me
That life can change
That you're not stuck in vain"

Smashing Pumpkins, Tonight Tonight

"Boy afraid
Prudence never pays
And everything she wants costs money..."

The Smiths, Girl Afraid

"You kicked and cried like a bullied child
A grown man of twentyfive
Oh, he said he'd cure your ills
But he didn't and he never will"

The Smiths, This Night Has Opened My Eyes

"And in the darkened underpass
I thought 'oh god, my chance has come at last'
But then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask"

The Smiths, There is a Light That Never Goes Out

" 'Show me, show me show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream' she said
'The one that makes me laugh' she said
And threw her arms around my neck
'Show me how you do it
And I promise you
I promise that I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you'

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face, I kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had to make her glow
'Why are you so far away?' she said
'Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you?
That I'm in love with you?'

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water, you're just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone! Alone! Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven..."

The Cure, Just Like Heaven

"And now that I know that I'm breaking to pieces
I'll pull out my heart and I'll feed it to anyone
Crying for sympathy, crocodiles cry
For the love of the crowd and the three cheers from everyone
Dropping through sky through the glass of the roof
Through the roof of your mouth, through the mouth of your eye
Through the eye of the needle
It's easier for me to get closer to heaven than ever feel whole again"

The Cure, Disintegration

[Tarren]

I saw a werewolf drinkin a pina colada at Trader Vic's
And his hair was perfect.
"Werewolves of London" - Warren Zevon


We've got these chains, hang 'round our necks,
people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath.
Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same when temptation calls
"What a Good Boy" - Barenaked Ladies

We'll love you just the way you are
If you're perfect
"Perfect" -Alanis Morissette

[JessG]

"Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same."
Quite possibly my favourite BNL lyric ever!

[Nikki]

"Drowned by the screams of decadance" Everything Goes Dark lyrics by The Hoosiers, I just think it describes our world perfectly.

[Maggie]

I thought the same thing!

[ghostwritten87]

'Now I heard there was a special chord that David played and it pleased the Lord, but you don't really care about music do you?'

or something like that. Its from 'Hallelujah' sung by Jeff Buckley (though it was someone else's song originally) and i think its beautiful.

[Zumie]

Leonard Cohen originally wrote it as a poem, then a bunch of musicians did their own takes on it. It's my favorite song. <3

[Chris]

"I'mma do the things that I wanna do, I aint got a thing to prove to you
I'll eat my candy with the pork and beans, excuse my manners if i make a scene
I aint gonna wear the clothes that you like, i'm fine and Dandy with the me inside
One look in the mirror and I'm tickled pink, I don't give a hoot about what you think"

-Pork and Beans by Weezer

[David]

The Ballad of Serenity (from firefly)

"You can't take the sky from me."

[Emma]

Yes!

[Maggie]

"I look cool and you know.
You're a star, you'll go far.
Just think of me as a friend,
Not just the boy who plays guitar.
You're on top of the world again."
-"Expectation" by Belle & Sebastian
