~~~~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

Your head is there to move you around

I know you're home
you left your light on
you know I'm here

I know you're alone
I watched the car leave
your lover is gone

Melissa Etheridge ~ I WANT TO COME OVER




Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good,
They'll stone ya just a-like they said they would.
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to go home.
Then they'll stone ya when you're there all alone.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.

Bob Dylan
Everybody Must Get Stoned



See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

Girl whatever you ask me you know I'll do

Out here in the fields

To prove I'm right

Don't raise your eye
It's only teenage wasteland

I'll miss you,
Kiss you,
Give you my coat
When you are cold

Feed you,
Even let you hold
The remote control

So let me do the dishes
In our kitchen sink,
Put you to bed
When you've had
Too much to drink

Grow old with you ~ Adam Sandler



There's no need for argument
There's no argument at all
And if you never hear from him
That just means he didn't call
Or vice versa
That depends on where ever you're at
(All right)
And if you never hear from me
That just means I would rather not

"Domino" - Van Morrison


Girl, you gotta love your man.
Girl, you gotta love your man.
Take him by the hand.
Make him understand.
The world on you depends,
our life will never end.
You gotta love your man.

and lose it all
but in the end
it doesn't even matter

In the end ~ Linkin Park

There's that look in your eyes
I can read in your face that your feelings
are driving you wild
Ah, but girl you're only a child

"Does Your Mother Know" - ABBA

He was a hard-headed man
He was brutally handsome, and she was teminally pretty
She held him up, and he held her for ransome in the heart
of the cold, cold city
He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They said he was ruthless, they said he was crude
They had one thing in common, they were
good in bed
She'd say, 'Faster,faster. The lights are turnin' red."

Life in the Fast Lane by the Eagles


He couldn't believe how easy it was
He put the Gun up to his face
Bang
Problems do have solutions
A life time of fucking things up fixed in one determined flash
everything's blue in this world
The deepest shade of mushroom blue
All fuzzy
Spilling out of my head


lets see who gets that one hehehe

THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL ~ NINE INCH NAILS


I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

sympathy for the devil...Rolling Stones!!

"Splash, dash heard your call
Bring you back your golden ball
He's gonna dive down in the deep end
He's gonna be just like your best friend
So what's one little kiss
One tiny little touch
Aaah, he's wanting it so much
I swear that this is royal blood
Running through my skin
Oh can you see the state I'm in
Kiss it better, Kiss it better"

"Kiss That Frog" by Peter Gabriel (anyone remember the fairytale it's based on? :D )



Gazing through the window at the world outside
Wondering will mother earth survive
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her sometime

After all there's only just the two of us
And here we are still fighting for our lives
Watching all of history repeat itself
Time after time

Dreamer ~ Ozzy Osbourne

I don't mind you hanging out
and talking in your sleep
it doesn't matter where you've been
as long as it was deep

Just what I needed ~ The Cars

Six-lane highway running up to my back door
But it won't take me where I want to be
I took the I-95 down to Pensacola
All I found was a bunch of holyrollers
They don't know nothing 'bout saving me

MAYBE ANGELS ~ SHERYL CROW




Early one mornin' the sun was shinin',
I was layin' in bed
Wond'rin' if she'd changed at all
If her hair was still red.
Her folks they said our lives together
Sure was gonna be rough
They never did like Mama's homemade dress
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough.
And I was standin' on the side of the road
Rain fallin' on my shoes
Heading out for the East Coast
Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through,
