Well, woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand.
Whose wine? What wine? Where the hell did I dine?
Must have been a dream I don´t believe where I´ve been.
Come on, let´s do it again.

Do you...you, feell ike I do?


Side note...I always thought the "Where the hell did I dine" was "where the hell did I die"  

I did wake up with a glass in my hand in my younger days a time or two and I did feel like I had died  :(

What are your favororite song lyrics?

All time, most direct :o , pointed :o  and realistic insights :o  :o  to the wounded male psyche:

You're breakin' my heart
You're tearin' it apart
So F__ you!

where the conclusion of the track is:

You're breakin' my heart
You're tearin' it apart
But I Love you.

....if I shot her when I met her I'd be out by now.....


a lyric from a country music tune.  I don't listen to country music but if you have a 1st wife this lyric has special meaning.  I'm only quoting a lyric, not providing advise.

Rob - BTW - I just purchased the remastered 2-disk set of the Frampton comes alive - The dynamic index on these disks is off the scale!

Here is my favorite:
"But now it's time for me to go, the autumn moon lights my way"

So is this thread about favorite lyrics or mondegreens? :?  Shouldn't it be in the Music Circle instead?

Anyway, one favorite lyric:
Quote
Skyclad The Cradle Will Fall

A species in its infancy--a living idiosyncrasy,
This 'naked ape' believes itself divine.
Assured of its supremacy--it dreams of immortality,
The first words that it speaks--"This world is mine."
But the time has come for us to realise,
That the animal instincts we deeply despise--
Are far more civilised than humanity.
Mankind has lived to curse the day it climbed down from the trees,
But still we keep our heads held high whilst crawling on our knees.
I hope I never live to see the 'perfect' world you crave,
Where ambition is the burden we shall carry to our graves.
We think that we are so superior--for in God's image we were made,
All other life we deem inferior--there to exploit, kill or enslave
No amount of remonstration could ever show a mind so small
that it is not 'the be and end all.'
Into the future we race driven on by our greed,
Like rats in a maze we will never be free.
Science is the 'new-religion'--scaples slash dissecting truth and reason,
Behind locked doors where no-one sees.
Down evolution's one way street mankind pursues his dream,
Of a race conceived in test tubes with the same designer genes,
But like a child who tries to run before it learns to crawl--
he'll go crying to his 'Mother' when he sees the cradle fall.
I am human--I was made to be the ultimate machine,
With the power at my fingertips to realise my dream.
Homo-sapiens--the 'master-race,' Nature's pride and joy,
Taking all the world will give me--what it won't I shall destroy.
In our hearts we yearn to be immortal--conquer all sickness and disease,
Create a world where even death's not fatal--then we can shape our destinies.
A populace of plastic people live genetically pre-programmed lives--and no-one
laughs and no-one cries.
Blinded by science the masses are duped and deceived,
By the faces that smile from their colour T.V.s.
They'll steal your dreams--remove them surgically (but leave you scars so deep
and lasting),
God is dead man has surpassed him.
Like children in our playground--we contrive such foolish games,
But fail to see the consequence of suicidal aims.
No matter how we bend the rules there's no way we can win,
Not even pleading Ignorance will vindicate our sins.
I am human--I was made to be the ultimate machine,
With the power at my fingertips to realise my dream.
Homo-sapiens--the 'master-race,' Nature's pride and joy,
Taking all the world will give me--what it won't I shall destroy.
Mankind a babe-in-arms,
Believes he's come of age--
And reaches for the stars,
With one foot in the grave.
I am human--I was made to be the ultimate machine,
I am human--I have the power to realise my dream.
I am human--an automaton--a mindless 'technoslave,'
I am human--I am servant to the monsters I have made.


Current favorite mondegreen by Immortal:
"Lay waste this world on ice" = "Lay waste to Burl Ives"
The polar extremity between Immortal and Burl Ives makes it especially funny, but nobody knows what I am talking about anyway.

Good metal mondegreens here:  Keir's Book of Lists I contributed a few myself plus the Bruce Dickenson\Manatee graphic. Heh! There's links for MP3s there, but for me they are black on black text and you can only see them if you highlight.  Hmm.

I guess the most popular mondegreen I hear is probably the age old chestnut: "Dirty Deeds and the Thunder Cheeks" But my personal favorite is "Big 'Ol Jed In A Lineup".  The best ones are ones which can be heard either way at will and not ones which instantly dissolve upon learning the correct words.

Quote
...the word Mondegreen, meaning a mishearing of a popular phrase or song lyric, was coined by the writer Sylvia Wright.

As a child she had heard the Scottish ballad "The Bonny Earl of Murray" and had believed that one stanza went like this:

Ye Highlands and Ye Lowlands
Oh where hae you been?
They hae slay the Earl of Murray,
And Lady Mondegreen.

Soon you will not hear his voice

Hey Marbles,

Well, instead of waking up w/ a wine glass in his hand, a friend of mine about 4 years ago (back in college) woke up w/ a football sized cigarette burn in his khakis (twice in 2 months).   :lol:

This is the same guy that, on the occassion, pissed his pants while passed out on my couch in the Fraternity house.   :oops:

As for lyrics: (used to be in my signature)

"You've got to be trusted, by the people that you lie to, so that when they turn their backs on you. . .you'll get the chance to put the knife in."
Pink Floyd--CD: Animals; Song: Dogs; Writer: Roger Waters

Reminds me of a couple of people, right now, my ex-girlfriend.

:drums:  TEQUILA!!  :rock:  :beer:

Ok, now for some real favs...

Back to the S2000 theme -

WIND IN MY HAIR
SHIFTING AND DRIFTING
MECHANICAL MUSIC
ADRENALINE SURGE

WELL WEATHERED LEATHER
HOT METAL AND OIL
THE SCENT OF COUNTRY AIR
SUNLIGHT ON CHROME
THE BLUR OF THE LANDSCAPE
EVERY NERVE AWARE

From Rush's Witch hunt:

Quick to judge,
Quick to anger,
Slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice
And fear walk hand in hand...

Some good ones from Paul Simon -

Well I guess I've been in love before
once or twice and on the floor
But I never loved no one
The way that I love you


And, from there we go to quite possibly the best lyrics I've ever heard -

The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin
That's what I said.
The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand
Or so I have read.
My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo.
I love to sink her with my pink torpedo.
Big bottom
Big bottom
Talk about bum cakes,
My gal's got 'em.

Pjchappy,
These are pretty good lyrics
http://www.lyricsdomain.com/4/don_henley/the_heart_of_the_matter.html

The reason you date is to make sure you find the one or ones that you can both live with for the rest of your life.

Take it as a learning experience and move on.  Oh, and get really pissed drunk and pick up some slut at the local watering hole...you'll feel better :wink:

"Now the older folks remember,
On that dark and dismal day,
How their hearts were choked with glory,
As their children marched away,
Now the glory is all gone,
They are left alone.

Ref.
And there won't be many coming home,
And there won't be many coming home,
And there won't be many,
Maybe fifteen out of twenty,
But there won't be many coming home.

...

Look closely at the soldier,
Coming at you through the haze,
He may be the younger brother,
Who ran away,
And before you kill another,
Listen to what I say,

Oh, there won't be many coming home,
No, there won't be many,
There may not be any,
But there won't be many coming home."

From 1967.

Cheers,
DVV

I was referring to Immortal moreso than Burl Ives.  I probably know as much about him as you do about Immortal, so I guess it all works out in the end! Heh!

Demonside
Hailstones flay the skin of earth
Demonize
Until entropys victory is ensured

Stealers of dawn
Pale wraiths of the arctic swarm
Cover the sun
Storms are what we breathe


WELL WEATHERED LEATHER
HOT METAL AND OIL

Ahh yes, I always had trouble that verse!  I always interpreted it as some gibberish like:

"hot many and moil"

What that means I have no idea. The word "metal" is kinda botched by our friend Geddy.  Anyway, Peart's lyrics are great.  One of my favorites is "those who know what's best for us\must rise and save us from ourselves!"  No shit...
