Inspiring lyrics

Unread post by the_drewster » Thu Jun 16, 2005 7:38 am

I'm after inspiring lines/phrases out of DMB tunes. Gorgeous ones, thoughtful ones, wise ones, ones that make you laugh, ones that make you sit and think. The more the better, just throw them at me.

Hands and feet are all alike
But gold between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
But fear between divide us

It doesnt get much better than that!

any line from TheMaker, although its not written by Dave

"Come and relax now, put your troubles down
No need to bear the weight of your worries here
Let them all fall away"

"And I live with my justice
And I live with my greedy need
Oh I live with no mercy
And I live with my frenzied feeding
And I live with my hatred
And I live with my jealousy
Oh I live with the notion
That I don't need anyone but me" I love the meaning here

Lastly, any line from Lover Lay Down, there are more but

For the price of a coke or a smoke, you could keep alive those hungry eyes.

Hey my friends i see your eyes are troubled, care to share some time with me?

Funny when you’re small
The moon follows the car

But rushing around seems what’s wrong with the world
Don’t lose the dreams inside your head
They’ll only be there til you’re dead

We are all sitting
Legs crossed round a fire
My yellow flame she dances

How long I'm tied up
My mind in knots - my stomach reels
In concern for what I might do or
What I've done
It's got me living in fear

Mother Father please explain to me
Why a world so full of mystery :D

dude, that is now my favorite line!!! I use to always think the moon was following the car when i was little.

As for lyrics, I think this is just simply a beautiful song. I'm glad I finally learned how to play it on guitar, and now all I need to do is learn how to sing to it. From Stay or Leave:

maybe different but remember
winters warm where you and i
kissing whiskey by the fire
with the snow outside
and when the summer comes
in the river
swims at midnight
shiver cold
touch the bottom
starry night
with muddy toes

that pretty much describes whats it like to be in love and just relaxin on a summers night man. At least the last part, the first part is winter but the second parts about summer... great stuff imo

If you are constipated this might inspire a bowel movement.

I would dig a hole all the way to China

Yes yes yes. YNK has AMAZING lyrics and the music is awesome.

Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes, but I'll work it out...

Come my friend it seems your eyes are troubled,
care to spend your time with me,
would you say your feeling low and so a good idea would be to get it off your mind

Turns out not where but who your with that really matters

BOWA...one of my fav's

YNK has amazing lyrics too
