Lunacy Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Here's some of mine. Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who Meet the new boss/ Same as the old boss/ My Generation - The Who "I hope I die before I get old." Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin Basically the last verse. Good Times Bad Times - Led Zeppelin In the days of my youth, I was told what it means to be a man/ Now I've reached that age, I've tried to do all those things the best I can/ No matter how I try, I find my way into the same old jam/ Time - Pink Floyd Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain/ And 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/ Sheep - Pink Floyd Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream/ Wave upon wave of demented avengers/ March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream./ I have way more, I'll update soon. What about you guys? Share yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzzoso Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Of course there are probably hundreds of favorite and great Rock Lines of all-Time. Two of my favorite Rock lines of Led Zeppelin are: "Let the Music be Your Master, Will You Heed the Master's Call". Houses of the Holy "In the Light You Will Find the Road..." In the Light.

TypeO Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 These are some of my favorite non-LZ lines. Nazereth Please don't number me Don't betray my trusted promise Please don't anger me I find it hard to bear no malice Don't frustrate me, manipulate me Please don't Judas me. Tool Fuck L. Ron Hubbard and Fuck all his clones. Fuck all these gun-toting Hip gangster wannabes. Learn to swim. Fuck retro anything. Fuck your tattoos. Fuck all you junkies and Fuck your short memory. Learn to swim. Fuck smiley glad-hands With hidden agendas. Fuck these dysfunctional, Insecure actresses. Learn to swim. Ted Nugent I see you there with your cheshire grin – I got my eyes on you. Shake your tailfeathers in my face and there's no tellin' what I'll do. Well looky here, you sweet young thing, the magic's in my hands. When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock 'n' roll band It's a free-for-all. Nine Inch Nails You made me throw it all away My morals left to decay How many you betray You've taken everything – Terrible lie – My head is filled with disease My skin is begging you please I'm on my hands and knees I want so much to believe Pink Floyd Sorry, Electrophile, but I love 'em too. And when you lose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown. And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone. And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around. So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone – Dragged down by the stone. Who was born in a house full of pain. Who was trained not to spit in the fan. Who was told what to do by the man. Who was broken by trained personnel. Who was fitted with collar and chain. Who was given a pat on the back. Who was breaking away from the pack. Who was only a stranger at home. Who was ground down in the end. Who was found dead on the phone. Who was dragged down by the stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gospel Zone Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 One of the most famous and most disputed is that line in "I Can't Get No) Satisfaction": I can't get no satisfaction I can't get no girl reaction It is often argued that it is: I can't get no satisfaction I can't get no girlie action However if this is the case, then Mick was singing with an oriental accent, because there definitely is an 'r' in there.

Walesdad Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Always loved,"I told your Mama I'd bring you home, But I didn't say that I had no car, I saw a lion he was standing alone, With a tadpole in a jar". Written out like that it means nothing,but I still love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pagemccartney95 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Let's see: Oh to sail away, To sandy lands and other days Oh to trust the dream, Hides inside and never seen. ---------- And in the end The love you take Is equal to the love you make. ---------- Us and Them And after all we're only ordinary men There is no pain you are receding A distant ship's 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. ---------- We made a vow we'd always be friends. How could we know that promises end? ---------- And I ain't too old to hurry Cause I ain't too old to die (Poor Bon! :'( ) ---------- Will time make men more wise? Come tomorrow, will I be older? Come tomorrow, maybe a soldier. Come tomorrow, may I be bolder than today. ----------- I love rock n' roll So put another dime in the jukebox, baby I love rock n' roll So come and take your time and dance with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUCK'EYE' DOC Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 From one of my favorite songs: Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time He is the force that lies within Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find He is a feather in the wind. "All of My Love" by Led Zeppelin And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make. "The End" by The Beatles Oh well, its been a good day in hell, but tomorrow I'll be glory bound.

BUCK'EYE' DOC Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Another one, the entire song: "Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)" By Don McLean Starry, starry night Paint your palette blue and grey Look out on a summer's day With eyes that know the darkness in my soul Shadows on the hills Sketch the trees and daffodils Catch the breeze and the winter chills In colours on the snowy linen land Now I understand What you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen They did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now Starry, starry night Flaming flowers that brightly blaze Swirling clouds and violet haze Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue Colours changing hue Morning fields of amber grain Weathered faces lined in pain Are soothed beneath the artists' loving hand Now I understand What you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen They did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now For they could not love you But still your love was true And when no hope was left inside On that starry, starry night You took your life as lovers often do But I could have told you Vincent This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you Like the strangers that you've met The ragged men in ragged clothes The silver thorn of bloody rose Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow Now I think I know What you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen They're not listening still Perhaps they never will...

kaiser Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I love the lyrics to the whole song, but these particular lines resonate with me: ...I'm always hearing voices on the street I want to shout, but I can hardly speak I was making love last night To a dancer friend of mine I can't seem to stay in step Cause she comes everytime that she pirourettes on me... ...Kick me like you've kicked before I can't even feel the pain no more... ...The sunshine bores the daylights out of me Chasing shadows, moonlight mystery...

kaiser Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Jenny said when she was just 5 years old There was nothing happening at all Everytime she put on the radio There was nothing going down at all Not at all The one fine morning she puts on a New York station You know she didn't believe what she heard at all She started shaking to that fine fine music You know her life was saved by rock 'n' roll Despite all the amputations you know you could go out And dance to the rock 'n' roll station It was alright "Rock 'N' Roll" - The Velvet Underground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMachine Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Nice thread! The first ones that pop into my mind: Well that's allright, I know your sister too. As I turned to you, you smiled at me, how could we say no? Sitting on the park bench, eyeing little girls with bad intent The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age but that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everythin!
