Favourite lyric?

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify
Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah
I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind
Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal
And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late

- Black Sabbath "Paranoid"

For the EMPEROR!!
As I walked on with a heavy heart
Then a stone danced on the tide
And the song went on
Though the lights were gone
And the North wind gently sighed
And an evening breeze coming from the East
That kissed the riverside
So I pray now child that you sleep tonight
When you hear this lullaby

May the wind that blows from haunted graves
Never bring you misery
May the angels bright
Watch you tonight
And keep you while you sleep

Billy Joel -

"She cuts you once, she cuts you twice
But still you believe
The wound is so fresh you can taste the blood
But you don't have strength to leave
You've been bought, you've been sold
You've been locked outside the door
But you stand there pleadin',
With your insides bleedin',
'Cause you deep down want some more
When she says she wants forgiveness
It's such a clever masquerade
She's so good with her stiletto
You don't even see the blade
You don't see the blade"

Jimmy Buffett -

"The weather is here I wish you were beautiful
My thoughts aren't too clear but don't run away
My girlfriends a bore, my job is too dutiful
Hell nobodys perfect would you like to play?
I feel together today"
 
Where have all the feelings gone?
Why has all the laughter ceased?

Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
Gone back in time to bless the child
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Come bless the child one more time

- Nightwish "Bless the Child"
 
People walking up to you
Singing glory hallelulia
And they're tryin to sock it to you
In the name of the Lord

They're gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope, cheat your faith
And further more to hell with hate
Come on and get on board

For the EMPEROR!!
Through the chill of winter
Running across the frozen lake
Hunters are out on his trail
All odds are against him
With a family to provide for
The one thing he must keep alive
Will the wolf survive?

Standing in the pouring rain
All alone in a world that's changed
Running scared, now forced to hide
In a land where he once stood with pride
But he'll find his way by the morning light

"Will the Wolf Survive" - Los Lobos
 
Well the rangers had a homecoming
In Harlem late last night
And the Magic Rat drove his sleek machine
Over the Jersey state line
Barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a Dodge
Drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain
The Rat pulls into town, rolls up his pants
Together they take a stab at romance and disappear down Flamingo Lane

Jungleland-Bruce Springsteen

That song is lyrical perfection, I just can't be arsed to write the whole thing in one go.
 
Ma chambre a la forme d'une cage
Le soleil passe son bras par la fenêtre
Les chasseurs à ma porte
Comme les petits soldats
Qui veulent me prendre

Je ne veux pas travailler
Je ne veux pas déjeuner
Je veux seulement l'oublier
Et puis je fume

- Pink Martini "Sympathique"

For the EMPEROR!!
The warming sun returns again
And melts away the snow
The sea is freed from icy chains
Winter is letting go

“And during the few moments that we have left, we want to talk, right down to earth, in a language that everybody here can easily understand."

Look into my eyes, what do you see?
The Cult of Personality.
I know your anger, I know your dreams,
I’ve been everything you want to be.
I’m the Cult of Personality,
Like Mussolini and Kennedy,
I’m the Cult of Personality.
The Cult of Personality.
The Cult of Personality.

Neon lights, Nobel Prize,
When a leader speaks, the reflection lies.
You don’t have to follow me,
Only you can set me free.

I sell the things you need to be,
I’m the smiling face on your TV.
I’m the Cult of Personality.
I exploit you still you love me,
I tell you one and one makes three.
I’m the Cult of Personality.
Like Joseph Stalin and Gandhi,
I’m the Cult of Personality.
The Cult of Personality.
The Cult of Personality.

Neon lights, a Nobel Prize,
When a leader speaks, that leader dies.
You don’t have to follow me,
Only you can set you free.

You gave me fortune,
You gave me fame,
You gave me power in your god’s name.
I’m every person you need to be.
I’m the Cult of Personality.
I'm the Cult of -
I'm the Cult of -
I'm the Cult of -
I'm the Cult of -
I'm the Cult of -
I'm the Cult of -
I'm the Cult of Personality.

The Only Exception--Paramore

And I've always lived like this
keeping a comfortable distance.
And up until now I've sworn to myself
that I'm content with loneliness.

Because none of it was ever worth the risk.

Well you are the only exception.

I'll sing you a true song of Billy the Kid
I'll sing of some desperate deeds that he did
Way out in New Mexico long long ago
When a man's only chance was his own forty-four.
When Billy the Kid was a very young lad
In old Silver City he went to the bad
Way out in the West with a gun in his hand
At the age of twelve years he did kill his first man.

....
It was then I knew I'd had enough,
Burned my credit card for fuel
Headed out to where the pavement turns to sand
With a one-way ticket to the land of truth
And my suitcase in my hand
How I lost my friends I still don't understand.

So you been broken and you been hurt
Show me somebody who ain't
Yeah I know I ain't nobody's bargain
But hell a little touch up
And a little paint...

You Might need somethin' to hold on to
When all the answers they don't amount to much
Somebody that you can just talk to
And a little of that human touch

Baby in a world without pity
Do you think what I'm askin's too much ?
I just want to feel you in my arms
And share a little of that human touch...

O.G.
Well I'm a west coast struttin', one bad mother
Got a rattlesnake suitcase under my arm
Said I'm a mean machine, been drinkin' gasoline
And honey you can make my motor hum.

Well I got one chance left in a nine live cat
I got a dog eat dog sly smile
I got a Molotov cocktail with a match to go
I smoke my cigarette with style ...

And I can tell you honey
You can make my money tonight.
