What's the best line in a song?

Crowd pleaser, get your rat out, get your rat out, sweattin' like a beaver

I can't believe no one has posted this yet:

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
Its good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

I have so many favourite songs. My favourite lyrics at the moment though is this verse

Let my weapons be your CHILDREN / Let my armies be your DAMNED
Try to suffer on in silence / TRY TO STOP ME IF YOU CAN

PNEUMATIC DESTROYER - PATHETIC SEDUCER
DISTORTION SUFFICIENT
SOME DAY - ONE DAY - WE'LL LIVE OUR LIVES AGAIN

It's from This Cold Black by Slipknot. I fucking LOVE that song. It just does something to me, gives me a rush and makes me want to do something reckless.

Us and them.

Pink floyd.

 

Onward Christian soldiers, marching off to war.... I think they sing this at peace rallies

 

If you can't love the one you love, love the one your with.

Lay back and let me show you another way."

4 degrees
(five bucks to whoever can tell me what these lyrics mean, and how it is related to the name of the song. I'll give some more lyrics as a hint:
"Take it up higher.
4 degrees warmer.
Give in now
and let me in.
You'll like this in
Don't pull it out.")

Yeah I'm a huge tool geek.

edit: More great tool lyrics
"Soon the water will come
and claim what is mine.
I must leave it behind,
and climb to a new place now. "

 

Well he came down to earth and lit in a tree
I said Mr. Purple People Eater don't eat me
I heard him say in a voice so gruff
I wouldn't eat you cuz you're so tough

It was a one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me.

I said Mr. Purple People Eater, what's your line
He said it's eatin' purple people and it sure is fine
But that's not the reason that I came to land
I wanna get a job in a rock and roll band

By all accounts it has a dual meaning.

On the face of it, it appearss to be the temperature difference between the vagina and the anus (about 4 degrees; hotter in your butt) and the words appear to support this account. Another reflection is that the singer was a cadet at West Point, where as a freshman (first year) the cadets have no discretion and must take on eveything (shit) that comes their way and thus it is a song of freshman melancholy but with hope. :shrug:

 

You cheated! But here's your $5!

 

It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?...

It's a neighborly day in this beauty wood,
A neighborly day for a beauty.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?...

I've always wanted to have a neighbor just like you.
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.

So, let's make the most of this beautiful day.
Since we're together we might as well say:
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?
Won't you please,
Won't you please?
Please won't you be my neighbor?

Best lyrics? Here is a part of the best lyrics ever:

Some silicone sister with her manager's mister told me I got what it takes
She said I'll turn you on sonny, to something strong if you play that song with the funky break,
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe to go outside
And little Early-Pearly came by her curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride,
Oh, some hazard from Harvard was skunked on beer playin' backyard bombardier
Yes and Scotland Yard was trying hard, they sent a dude with a calling card,
he said, do what you like, but don't do it here
Well I jumped up, turnedaround, spit in the air, fell on the ground
Asked him which was the way back home
He said take a right at the light, keep goin' straight until night, and then boy, you're on your own

And now in Zanzibar a shootin' star was ridin' in a side car hummin' a lunar tune
Yes, and the avatar said blow the bar but first remove the cookie jar we're gonna teach those boys to laugh too soon

And some kidnapped handicap was complainin' that he caught the clap from some mousetrap he bought last night,

Well I unsnapped his skull cap and between his ears I saw
a gap but figured he'd be all right

He was just blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the sun
Oh but mama that's where the fun is

 

Yeah!
So can you feel your heartbeat racing?
Can you feel the tension rise?
Can you see the road you're walking?
Are these times too hard to recognize?
Part of where you're going,
Is knowing where you're coming from.
The hardest part of moving forward
Are these times when we all stand alone.

No! No! But you'll never believe.
No! No!

For all these times, that we walked away
For all these times, that I've heard you say
Give me something to believe in,
Give me someone to believe in.
For all these times, and it starts today.

A generation always waiting,
A revolution passed this time.
Another reason to take stock
Of all these things that you have left behind.
Feelings that will never leave you
Never make you change your mind,
You gotta make it out past this one
Always the wrong place at the wrong time.

No! No! But you'll never believe.
No! No!

Lipgloss Lies, doin the time.
Never gonna miss what I left behind.
If I get the chance I'll do it again.
I wouldn't change it! Change it!
Change It! Change It!

Lipgloss Lies, doin the time.
Never gonna miss what I left behind.
If I get the chance I'll do it again.
I wouldn't change it! Change it!
Change It! Change It!

No! No! But you'll never believe.
No! No!

For all these times, that we walked away
For all these times, that I've heard you say
Give me something to believe in,
Give me someone to believe in.
Give me something to believe in,
Give me someone to believe in.

Lipgloss Lies, doin the time.
Never gonna miss what I left behind.
If I get the chance I'll do it again.
I wouldn't change it! Change it!
Change It! Change It!

Lipgloss Lies, doin the time.
Never gonna miss what I left behind.
If I get the chance I'll do it again.
I wouldn't change it! Change it!
Change It! Change It!

 

Oh John99....

What the hell is "cut loose like a deuce"?

Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night

 

A car.

 

So what does "cut loose like a car" mean to you then?

 

Cut loose like a duece. A duece is a race car.

 

Not just any car.

"She's my little deuce coupe - -
you don't know what I got "
- - -

"just one more thing: I've got the pink slip, daddy. "

(That's not a bad line, eh? )

This generation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP3_WoUQe84&feature=related

I had a pink slip racer for a neighbor for a while, back in the day - he had a 'vette with factory vinyl seats, steel floorboards with one rubber mat on the driver's side, an AM radio and a sun-faded dusty blue paint job. And his own pet engine, with customized running gear, tuned headers, and a channeled frame. And a row of much flashier cars, side by side in his back yard between the garage and the alley boxelder, with the keys and paperwork in a box on the fridge.
