[muskrat]

Someone left the cake out in the rain
And I don't think that I can take it
Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again...oh nooooooo!

 

[KingAHolic]

I feel the reason as it's leaving me
No, not again
It's quite decieving as I'm feeling the flesh
Make me bad

Make Me Bad - Korn

 

[blunthead]

Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah I'm the taxman

Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah I'm the taxman

If you drive a car I'll tax the street
If you try to sit I'll tax your seat
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat
If you take a walk I'll tax your feet

Taxman!
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah I'm the taxman

Don't ask me what I want it for (Aha, Mr. Wilson)
If you don't want to pay some more (Aha, Mr. Heath)
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah I'm the taxman

Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah I'm the taxman

And you're working for no one but me
Taxman!

 

[swiftdog2.0]

Yesterday is history and tomorrow's a mystery
But baby right now, its just about you and me,
You can run you can hide, just like Bonnie and Clyde
Reach for the sky ain't never gonna die,
and I thank the Lord for the love I have found
and hold you tight cause tomorrow may never come.

Reach For The Sky- Social Distortion

 

[KingAHolic]

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

Behind Blue Eyes - The Who

 

[Sarah25]

Yeah, when all of this is over
Should I lose you in the smoke
I want you to know you were the one

Have Love, Will Travel - Tom Petty

And when you're in need of someone my heart won't deny you

Don't Cry (Alt.) - Guns N' Roses

Come up to meet you
Tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart

The Scientist - Coldplay

Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got

One - U2

 

[KingAHolic]

Every time I see this thread I think of this line from a song, so, finally I'm going to post it!

And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love
You make

The End - Beatles

 

[TrueGeneration]

Every line in Born to Run is great--it's my favorite romantic anthem. But once Bruce counts down "1-2-3-4!" and sings, "The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive," I sing that one line at the top of my lungs.

Also, Imagine Dragons chorus for their song Polaroid resonates with me:

"All my life I’ve been living in the fast lane
Can’t slow down
I’m a rollin’ freight train
One more time
Gotta start all over
Can't slow down
I’m a lone red rover"

 

[KingAHolic]

Ooh, crazy's what they think about me
Ain't gonna stop cause they tell me so
Cause 99 miles per hour baby,
Is how fast that I like to go.
Can't keep up with my rhythm
Though they keep trying.
Too quick for the lines they throw.
I walk to the sound of my own drum,
It goes, they go, we go, hey yeah yeah yeah

The Walker - Fitz & the Tantrums

 

[blunthead]

Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side

What is Life - George Harrison

 

[ghost19]

"Have I run too far to get home?"

Layne Staley, Alice in Chains, "Would?"

 

[KingAHolic]

But tonight I'm on the edge -
Better shut me in the fridge
'Cause I'm burning up (I'm burning up)
With the vision in my brain
and the music in my veins
And the dirty rhythm in my blood

Hyperactive! - Thomas Dolby

 

[blunthead]

It's poetry in motion
And now she's making love to me
The spheres're in commotion
The elements in harmony
She blinded me with science
"She blinded me with science!"
And hit me with technology

"Good heavens Miss Sakamoto - you're beautiful!"
I -
I don't believe it!
There she goes again!
She's tidied up, and I can't find anything!
All my tubes and wires
And careful notes
And antiquated notions

- Thomas Dolby

 

[KingAHolic]

She's tidied up, and I can't find anything!

I love that part!

 

[blunthead]

I love that part!

SCIENCE!!!

 

[swiftdog2.0]

I've had it all,
And lost it all in one blackout summer night.
I want it back,
But I just can't seem to get it right.

So Far Away- Social Distortion

 

[KingAHolic]

Once in a while he won't call
But it's all in the game
Soon he'll be there at your side
With a sweet bouquet
And he'll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting fingertips
And your hearts will fly away

It's All In The Game - Tommy Edwards

 

[KingAHolic]

It used to be so easy to be your lover
We wandered through the days like they had no end
But now that you are gone I'm under cover
I just can't think about you as a friend

Take It Easy On Me - Little River Band

 

[Kurben]

We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
Teachers! Leave these kids alone.

Pink Floyd

 

[blunthead]

There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying

When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am

- Pink Floyd
