There are far too many cool lyrics for me to post. I'll try to post some later on. :)
my fav lyric of a song is "Dream of you" by Schiller
Dream of you
I've been here all the time
As far as I know doing right
I’ve always waited for the moment
That you would come through my door
But this brought loneliness so far
I lay my hand onto my heart
Is this the life I want to live?
Is this the dream I had of you?
But this brought loneliness so far
I lay my hand onto my heart
Is this the life I want to live?
Is this the dream I had of you?
The dream I had of you
The dream I had of you
Now I’m standing here alone
Waiting on my own
For something that will fill the emptiness
Inside the moment that you mind
But this is loneliness I know
I lay my hand onto my soul
Is this what life has got to give
Is this the dream I had of you?
The dream I had of you
But this is loneliness I know
I lay my hand onto my soul
Is this what life has got to give
Is this the dream?
The dream I had of you
I would have to say the lyrics for Boys of Summer by Don Henley. An incredibly intense, and truly bitter/sweet.
Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm drivin' by your house
Though I know you're not at home
But I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream
Now I don't understand what happened to our love
But babe, I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
Out on the road today, I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice Inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back."
I thought I knew what love was
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but-
I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
Perfect Day by Duran Duran ... Originally done by Lou Reed. It's a feel-good song .... beautifully done by Duran Duran:
Just a perfect day..
Drink sangria in the park
And later, when it gets dark
We go home
Just a perfect day..
Feed animals in the zoo
And later, a movie too
And then home
It’s such a perfect day
I’m glad I spent it with you
Such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on..
You just keep me hanging on..
Just a perfect day..
Problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own
Such fun
Just a perfect day
You made me forget myself
I thought I was someone else
Someone new
(chorus)
You’re gonna reap, just what you sow.
You’re gonna reap, just what you sow.
You’re gonna reap, just what you sow.
You’re gonna reap, just what you sow.
You’re gonna reap, just what you sow.
You’re gonna reap, just what you sow.
this one has to be one of the best lyrics ever!
it's sung by -who else- M. Rafi:
*bhagwaan bhagwaan bhagwaan bhagwaan
o dunya ke rakhwaale
sun dard bare mere naale (2)
o duniya ke rakhwaale
sun dard bare mere naale (2)
aash niraash ke do rango se duniya toone sajaai
naiya sang toofaan banaya milan ke saath judaai
ja dekh liya harjaay
ho loot gayi mere pyaar ki nagari, ab to neer baha le
ab to neer baha le
ho ab to neer baha le
o duniya ke rakhwaale
sun dard bare mere naale (2)
aag bani saawan ki barkha, phool bane angaare
naagan ban gayi raat suhaani, patthar ban gaye taare
sab toot chuke hain sahaare
ho jeevan apna waapas le le jeevan dene waale
o duniya ke rakhwaale
chand ko dhoondhe paagal sooraj, shaam ko dhoondhe savera
main bhi dhoondhoon uss preetam ko, ho na sakaa jo mera
bhagwaan bhala ho tera
ho kismat footi aas na tooti paoon mein pad gaye chhaale
o duniya ke rakhwaale
aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa
mahal udaas aur galiyaa suni, chup chup hain deewaare
dil kya ujara duniya ujari, ruth gayi hain bahaare
hum jeevan kaise guzaare
ho mandir girtaa fir ban jata, dil ko kaun sambhaale
o duniya ke rakhwaale
sun dard bare mere naale (2)
o duniya ke rakhwaale, rakhwaale, rakhwaale, rakhwaale, rakhwaale

Ditto, very occupied this weekend 
will post some later 
Every time I hear this song and specifically this verse, I can feel my hair stand up...its so moving, effective and so true.
**Main Zaat Paat Mein
Oonch Neech Mein
Aur Firqon Mein
Bata Huwa
Main Zaat Paat Mein
Oonch Neech Mein
Aur Firqon Mein
Bata Huwa
Jo Sachai Ko Dhundla Day
Dil Esi Gard Say Atta Huwa
Shikwa Nahin Jism Ki Matti Say
Par Rooh Bhi Ab Baytaab Nahin
Teray Hukam Pay Chalna Aik Taraf
Tera Naam Bhi Lena Yaad Nahin
Tera Naam Bhi Lena Yaad Nahin
Tera Naam Bhi Lena
Yaad Nahin
Kam Say Kam
Mujhko Lota Day
Kam Say Kam
Mujhko Lota Day
Woh Rooh Aur Jism Ki
Jang Jang**
my favourite lyrics? - gosh i have so many that i don't know if i could name all of them - however as a hardcore Rock fan - here is one of my favourites taken from the Matrix soundtrack by Rage Against The Machine!
*
COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOOK..........
Although ya try to iscredit
Ya still never edit
The needle, I'll thread it
Radically poetic
Standin' with the fury that they had in '66
And like E-Double, I'm mad
Still knee-deep in the system's sh*t
Hoover, he was a body remover
I'll give ya a dose
But it'll never come close
To the rage built up inside of me
Fist in the air, in the land of hypocrisy
Movements come and movements go
Leaders speak, movements cease
When theirheads are flown
'Cause all these punks
Got bullets in their heads
Department of police, the judge, the feds
Networks at work, keepin' people calm
You know they went after King
When he spoke out on Vietnam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot
Wit' poetry, my mind I flex
Flip like Wilson, vocals never lackin' dat fitnesse
Whadda I have to do to wake you up
To shake you up, to break the structure up
'Cause this blood still floods in the gutter
I'm like talkin' photos
Mad boy kicks open the shutter
Set the groove
Then I stick and move like I was Cassius
Rep the stutter step
Then bomb a left upon the facists
Yea, the several federal men
Who pulled schemes on the dream
And put it to an end
Ya better beware
Of retribution with mind war
20/20 visions and murals with metaphors
The networks at work, keepin' people calm
Ya know they murdered X
And tried to blame it on Islam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot
What was the price on his head*
**(Hook - SCREAM)
WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!**
This is my favorite song, I'm always singing it
Lag ja gale ke phir ye haseen raat ho na ho
shaid phir is janam mein mulakaat ho na ho
Hum ko mili hain pyar ki gharrian naseeb se
Jee bhar ke dekh lijye hum ko kareeb se
phir aap ke naseeb mein ye baat ho na ho
shaid phir is janam mein mulakaat ho na ho
paas ayie ke hum nahin aayein ge baar baar
bahein gale mein daal ke hum ro lein zaar zaar
Aankhon se phir ye pyar ki barsaat ho na ho
shaid phir is janam mein mulakaat ho na ho
Lag ja gale ke phir ye haseen raat ho na ho
shaid phir is janam mein mulakaat ho na ho
Please can anyone tell me which film it is from I have forgotten?
and I think someone has sung this song again in a new version who is that?
this song by Guns 'n Roses is among my all time fav songs
i can listen to this over and over again for hour and still wont get bored
great lyrics and very nicely sung
Shes got smile that it seems to me,
remind me of childhood memories
where everything was fresh as the bright blue sky
now and than when i see her face it takes me away to that special place
and if i stare too long i'd probably break down and cry
sweet child of mine..
shes got eyes of the bluest kind as if they thought of rain
i hate to look into her eyes and see an ounce of pain
her hair reminds me of a warm safe place where as a child i hide
and pray for the thunder and the rain
to quietly pass me by
sweet child of mine
where do we go
where do we go
sweet child of mine
PS: this song was also re sung by Sheyrl Crow as a sound track for the mvie "BIG DADDY" starring Adam Sandler

Yeah, and personally, I think she butchered it.
Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
here in heaven.
Would you hold my hand if I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand if I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day,
'Cause I know I just can't stay
here in heaven.
**Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart, have you begging please,
begging please.
Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more
tears in heaven.**
Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
here in heaven.
NANDULALA great choice :love: :k:
hey guys i like this one too, its kinda sad n conveys a unique mssg which u dont hear in most songs...its by Junaid Jamshaid
tum duur thay
toh kya hua
tum mil gayay
toh kya hua
veeraaniaan
kam na hueen
tanha tha mein
tanha raha
aik aas thee
tum aao ge
toh zindagi
khil jayay gi
aik baar
dekho ge idhar
toh roshni
mil jayay gi
jab aa gayi

aankhein meri
jalti raheen
aur dil mera
bujhta gaya
yeh toh koi
milna naheen
keh faaslay
hon darmayan
khamoshian
donon taraf
tanhaiyan
donon taraf
ho raasta
toh aik hee
par hamsafar
hon ajnabi
kis kaam ka
jeena hua
Imagine
John Lennon
Imagine there’s no heaven,
It’s easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
Living for today…
Imagine there’s no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace…
Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world…
You may say Im a dreamer,
But Im not the only one,
I hope some day you’ll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Die, die, die my darling - Metallica (Originally by misfits)
Die, die, die my darling
Don't utter a single word
Die, die, die my darling
Just shut your pretty mouth
I'll be seeing you again
I'll be seeing you… in Hell
Don't cry to me oh baby
Your future's in an oblong box, yeah
Don't cry to me oh baby
Should have seen it a-coming on
Don't cry to me oh baby
I don't know it was in your power
Don't cry to me oh baby
Dead-end girl for a dead-end guy
Don't cry to me oh baby
Now your life drains on the floor
Don't cry to me oh baby
Die, die, die my darling
Don't utter a single word
Die, die, die my darling
Just shut your pretty mouth
I'll be seeing you again
I'll be seeing you in Hell
Don't cry to me oh baby
Your future is in an oblong box
Don't cry to me oh baby
Should have seen the end a-coming on, a-coming
Don't cry to me oh baby
I don't know it was in your power
Don't cry to me oh baby
Dead-end girl for a dead-end guy
Don't cry to me oh baby
Now your life drains on the floor
Don't cry to me oh baby

words by boyzone ...one of my all time favorite songs sorely because of its lyrics...it goes like this...
smile an ever lasting smile
a smile can bring you near to me
don't ever let me find you gone
'cause that would bring a tear to me
this world has lost its glory
let's start a brand new story
now my love
you think that I don't even mean
a single word I say
it's only words
and words are all I have
to take your heart away
talk in ever lasting words
and dedicate them all to me
and I will give you all my life
i'm here if you should call to me
you think that I don't even mean
a single word I say
it's only words
and words are all I have
to take your heart away
it's only words
and words are all I have
to take your heart away
da da da da da da da
da da da da da da da da da da
da da da da da da da
da da da da da da da da da da
this world has lost its glory
let's start a brand new story
now my love
you think that I don't even mean

'Words' originally by Bee Gees.
MLTR's 'Paint my love'
Boyzone's 'No matter what'
are what come to my mind right now...there are millions of more that are my favourites, will post later.
wow. You guys have posted some amazing lyrics... i don't even know where to begin. "Boys of summer" is one of my favourites. Some of the others are as well, and some i haven't (yet) heard but i'lm going to try to find them Insha'Allah. Great stuff, thanks all.
Here's one called "Living years" by Mike and the Mechanics. Jon Secada also sang this one, i think.
Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door
I know that I'm a prisoner
To all my Father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years
Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've got
You say you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
You just can't get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking in defense
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye
So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It's the bitterness that lasts
So Don't yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different date
And if you don't give up, and don't give in
You may just be O.K.
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye
I wasn't there that morning
When my father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to say
I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
**I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye**
