~~~~Counter Quotes for Music Lyrics~~~~~
 

Okay, I thought that this may make for a fun thread. It's the same concept at Counter Quotes with the movies, only we're gonna use music lyrics. Okay, I'll start off and whoever wants, can go after me :D I'll start off with an easy one.

"Never win first place. I don't support the team. Can't take direction and my socks are never clean. Teachers dated me. My parents hated me. I was always in a fight, cus' I can't do nothing right. Everyday I fight a war against the mirror, cus' I can't take the person looking back at me."

pink. don't let me get me.

when superstars and cannonballs are running through your head,
television freak shows cops and robbers everywhere.
subway makes me nervous people pushing me too far,
got to break away so take my hand now because.....

oh geez, first off i cannot believe i know this
Its Pink - Dont let me get me

"I am a man, a man
I'll give ya somethin' that ya won't forget
I said ya shouldn't have worn that dress
I said ya shouldn't have worn that dress


I know you want what's on my mind
I know you like what's on my mind
I know it eats you up inside"

Fingers- Savage Garden (The Animal Song)


"An angel came from outside
Had no halo, had no father
With a coat of many colours.
He spoke of brothers many, wine and women, song a-plenty.
He began to write a chapter
In his story."

Geez Glyndwr - you've got VERY diverse tastes! -- I had to cheat and use the search engine to get the answer .... but it's a great game and didn't want to stall it ... so

Stranglers - Nice 'n' Sleazy

"Don't give me fountains, I need waterfalls ;)
And, when I cry, my tears'll fill an ocean
The pain of love, I'll accept it all,
As long as you'll join me in that emotion.
Half of lovin' is no fun
Give it all, give it all to me
I can stand it
I am strong that way."

Carly Simon-Give me all night(I cheated and asked someone hehe)

I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return, she'll get my support
She will listen to me, when I want to speak
About the world we live in, and life in general
Though my views may be wrong, they may even be perverted
She'll hear me out and won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking in fact she'll often disagree
But in the end of it all, she will understand me

Depeche Mode - Somebody

"I love the way your belt fits
The way it hangs so low
So low on your hips my darling
I want you so

I love your sweet, sweet lips
I love your salty taste
I love your finger tips
When I reach for your waist?! "

It's been a long time, so I'm not sure...
The Tubes - "Don't Touch Me There"

I'll hold off on posting my quote till I'm assured I'm right...

Scotz ... give your quote -- I just verified by looking at the lyrics of the song - Good job! j

Can you picture her next Saturday
Can you picture her at all
At the Hotel Boulderado
At the dark end end of a hall
Sometimes I have to wonder
Why she even bothers me
For if her legs were commercials
We'd all be on TV...

OK Scotz - just so you know it's "for if HEARTACHES were commercials" - but apparently you are not alone in not hearing the real words ..... from a song called COME BACK TO US BARBARA LEWIS HARE KRISHNA BEAUREGARD by John Prine.

Now my turn (should be an easy one since I've included the title in here):

The world will turn and the seasons will change,
and all the leassons we will learn will be beautiful and strange.
We'll have our fill of tears, our share of sighs.
My only prayer is that you realize
you'll always be beautiful in my eyes.

i think that is a Joshua Kadison song. can't remember the name though...perhaps Beautiful In My Eyes???

ok, i think i'm right, so here is my quote:

Truth covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to but it wouldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing
And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to prove I still
Smell her on you

You WERE right Legend! - both the artist and name of the song. j

anybody?
