The movie quote thread and a song on my slacker radio made me think of this one.

Cause you're the type of guy that don't know the time
Swearin up and down, "That girl's all mine"
I'm the type of guy to let you keep believin it
Go 'head to work, while I defrost it, and season it

What are some of your favorites?

    As far as lyrics related to working out and losing weight, I have to go with Pat Benetar, because I'm feeling "All Fired Up" these days :drinker:

    Livin' with my eyes closed, goin' day to day
    I never knew the difference, I never cared either way
    Lookin' for a reason, searchin' for a sign
    Reachin' out with both hands, I gotta feel the kick inside

    Chorus (All Fired Up)
    Now I believe there comes a time
    When everything just falls in line
    We live an' learn from our mistakes
    The deepest cuts are healed by faith

    Ain't nobody livin', in a perfect world
    Everybody's out there, cryin' to be heard
    Now I got a new fire, burnin' in my eyes
    Lightin' up the darkness, movin' like a meteorite

    Beyonce "Best Thing I Never Had"


    What goes around comes back around (hey my baby)
    What goes around comes back around (hey my baby)
    I say what goes around comes back around (hey my baby)
    What goes around comes back around...

    There was a time
    I thought, that you did everything right
    No lies, no wrong
    Boy I must've been out of my mind
    So when I think of the time that I almost loved you
    You showed your *kitten* and I, I saw the real you

    Thank God you blew it
    I thank God I dodged the bullet
    I'm so over you
    So baby good lookin' out

    [Chorus:]
    I wanted you bad
    I'm so through with that
    Cause honestly you turned out to be the (best thing I never had)
    You turned out to be the (best thing I never had)
    And I'm gon' always be the (best thing you never had)
    Oh yeah, I bet it sucks to be you right now

    So sad, you're hurt
    Boo hoo, oh, did you expect me to care?
    You don't deserve my tears
    I guess that's why they ain't there
    When I think that there was a time that I almost loved you
    You showed your *kitten* and baby yes I saw the real you

    my fav bit is marked with >>><<<


    Don't whisper love and dream of wedding bells
    Don't do all the talking, let love speak up itself
    Let love speak up itself

    So wehn you feel a little tatty and unhappy with your face
    Let it breathe into us and put you back in place
    Let it breathe, let it breathe
    >>>>>From the day it came into us till the day it wants to leave
    For it will, it will go
    And it will not say godbye just like it didn't say hello
    There will not be a send-off, a funeral or mass
    Just a pathetic little vodka from a dirty little glass<<<<
    'To the world's greatest mum
    >From the oldest swinger in town'

    Let love speak up itself
    Let love speak up itself
    Let it rise up in the morning and take us for that walk
    Let it do the talking when we're too tired to talk
    When we're too tired to talk

    And when you feel unhappy that I'm not the one I was
    Let love rot inside and let love palm you off
    Let it rot, let it rot
    Lite it take your feelings and tie them in a knot
    In a knot, in a knot
    Let it take your feelings and tie them in a knot
    Hang them from a cleaver and say 'Look what we've got
    A man and a woman and guess what they forgot'
    'To the world's greatest mum
    >From the oldest swinger in town'

    Let love speak up itself

    You find out who you're friends are
    Somebody's gonna drop everything
    Run out and crank up their car
    Hit the gas get there fast
    Never stop to think 'what's in it for me' or 'it's way too far'
    They just show on up with their big old heart
    You find out who you're friends are

    I am a new day rising
    I’m a brand new sky
    To hang the stars upon tonight
    I am a little divided
    Do I stay or run away
    And leave it all behind?

    It’s times like these you learn to live again
    It’s times like these you give and give again
    It’s times like these you learn to love again
    It’s times like these time and time again

    and

    you can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh
    or you can come to terms and realize
    you're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
    makes much more sense to live in the present tense
    have you ideas on how this life ends?
    checked your hands and studied the lines
    have you the belief that the road ahead ascends off into the light?
    seems that needlessly it's getting harder
    to find an approach and a way to live
    are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
    you can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets, oh
    or you can come to terms and realize
    you're the only one who can forgive yourself, oh
    makes much more sense to live in the present tense

    these two songs have gotten me through a lot of life

    this is one of my favorites by jon foreman. i find it very touching, as it's a ballad. We need to look past what our physical eyes can see and stop judging people.



    She yells, "if you were homeless
    Sure as hell you'd be drunk
    Or high or trying to get there
    Or begging for junk
    When people dont want you
    They just throw you money for beer."

    Her name was November
    She went by Autumn or Fall
    It was seven long years
    Since the Autumn when all
    Of her nightmares grew fingers
    And all of her dreams grew a tear

    She's somebody's baby
    Somebody's baby girl
    She's somebody's baby
    Somebody's baby girl
    And she's somebody's baby still

    She screams, "Well if you've never
    Gone at it alone, well then go ahead
    You better throw the first stone
    You got one lonely stoner
    Waiting to bring to her knees"

    She dreams about heaven
    Remembering hell
    As a nightmare she visits
    And knows all too well
    Every now and again
    When she's sober she brushes her teeth

    She's somebody's baby...

    Today was her birthday
    Strangely enough
    When the cops found her body
    At the foot of the bluff
    The annonymous caller this morning
    Tipped off the police

    They got her I.D
    From her dental remains
    The same fillings intact
    The same nicotine stains
    The birth and the death were both over
    With no one to grieve

    She's somebody's baby...
    Somebody's baby, still
    She's somebody's baby,
    Somebody's baby girl
    And she's somebody's baby still

    and then there's one by The Darkness that just makes me laugh... "Get your hands offa my woman, Mother F-er..." But more than the lyric, I think it's the falsetto that kills me :laugh: They just rock.

    To many to list them all but my absolute favorite song to listen to after a bad/*issed off day is "I've Been So Mad Lately" by the Butt Trumpets and the best line in the song is "You can eat the corn out of my *hit"!!!!

    My favorite would be lyrics in Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd:

    We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year. Running over the same ol' ground; what have we found? The same o fears.

    Second would be the lyrics in Shed Some Light by Shinedown.

    The Floyd song is most enjoyable after a few beers :drinker:

    this is the best love song ever... from death cab for cutie. Listened to it for a cool down this morning.

    Love of mine some day you will die
    But I'll be close behind; I'll follow you into the dark
    No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
    Just our hands clasped so tight
    Waiting for the hint of a spark
    If Heaven and Hell decide
    That they both are satisfied
    Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
    If there's no one beside you
    When your soul embarks
    Then I'll follow you into the dark

    In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
    I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
    And I held my tongue as she told me "Son fear is the heart of love"
    So I never went back

    You and me have seen everything to see
    From Bangkok to Calgary
    And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
    The time for sleep is now It's nothing to cry about 'cause we'll hold each other soon
    In the blackest of rooms

    If Heaven and Hell decide
    That they both are satisfied, Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs
    If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
    Then I'll follow you into the dark

    And I wasn't there when you were happy
    I wasn't there when you were down
    I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
    I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out

    Just heard this one in the car with my 6 year old daughter. As I am trying to jam out and sing the song, she chimes in that if a boy forgot her birthday she would dump him too. No doubt she is going to cause me plenty of gray hairs as she gets older. :sad:

    Look in the skies for God, what you see besides the smog
    is broken dreams flying away on the wings of the obscene
    Thoughts that people put in the air
    Places where you could get murdered over a glare
    But everything is fair
    It's a paradox we call reality
    So keepin it real will make you casualty of abnormal normality
    Killers Born Naturally like, Mickey and Mallory
    Not knowing the ways'll get you capped like an NBA salary
    Some cats be emceeing to illustrate what we be seeing
    Hard to be a spiritual being when *kitten* is shakin what you believe in
    For trees to grow in Brooklyn, seeds need to be planted
    I'm asking if y'all feel me AND THE CROWD LEFT ME STRANDED

    Wake.. from your sleep
    The drying of your tears
    Today we escape, we escape

    Pack.. and get dressed
    Before your father hears us
    Before all hell breaks loose

    Breathe, keep breathing
    Don't lose your nerve
    Breathe, keep breathing
    I can't do this alone

    The one line that STILL sticks in my head, even now when it's not relevant, although it maybe in the future...

    Who else, probably UK only, remembers Climie Fisher "Love changes everything"

    "I wondered was i destined..
    ...to spend my life alone..."

    I asked myself that soooo many times during my early 20s...

    I've got this great idea
    why don't we pitch it to the
    Franklin fcking Mint
    Fine pewter portraits of
    General Apathy and Major Boredom singing
    Whatever and ever amen.
    Oh well, maybe not
    I'll try again
    this should cheer you up for sure
    see I've got your old I.D.
    and you're all dressed up like the Cure

    Will you never rest
    fighting the battle
    of who could care less
    unearned unhappiness
    you're my hero I confess

    And, ofc, pretty much all of Savage Garden - "Affirmation".

    I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
    I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands
    I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
    I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
    I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem
    I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone

    I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
    I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
    I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
    I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

    I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
    I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
    I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
    I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
    I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
    I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

    I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
    I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
    I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
    I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

    I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness
    I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
    I believe that God does not endorse tv evangelists
    I believe in love surviving death into eternity...


    Soo much of this i agree with! :D

    Oh, Angie, don't you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet
    I hate that sadness in your eyes
    But Angie, Angie, ain't it time we said good-bye?
    With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
    You can't say we're satisfied
    But Angie, I still love you, baby
    Ev'rywhere I look I see your eyes
    There ain't a woman that comes close to you
