Stolen from bunyip...

music is important to us all. we all have songs that we love, that move us and affect us. so pick ten (10) songs that mean something to you. then, take a few lines from each song, the lines that stand out the most to you, and post them. also, tell us what song it is. think of it as sharing yourself with your friends through lyrics.

Coming at you with a count of one, two

1. Billy Joel - My Life

I don't need you to worry for me cause i'm all right
I don't want to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore cause it's my life.
Go ahead with your life and leave me alone

2. Lynyrd Skynard - Gimme Back My Bullets

Been up and down since I turned seventeen
Well I’ve been on top, and then it seems I lost my dream
But I got it back, I’m feelin’ better everyday
Tell all those pencil pushers, better get out of my way

Gimme back my bullets
Put ’em back where they belong
Ain’t foolin’ around, ’cause I done had my fun
Ain’t gonna see no more damage done
Gimme back, gimme back my bullets

3. Metallica - Don't Tread On Me

So be it
Threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war

4. Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

5. Aerosmith - Amazing

It’s amazing
With the blink of an eye you finally see the light
It’s amazing
When the moment arrives that you know you’ll be alright
It’s amazing
And I’m sayin’ a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight

That one last shot’s a permanent vacation
And how high can you fly with broken wings?
Life’s a journey not a destination
And I just can’t tell just what tomorrow brings

6. Warren Zevon - Jungle Work

Lear jet S.W.A.T. team
On a midnight run
With the M16
And the Ingram gun
We parachute in
We parachute out
"Death from above"
We're screaming now

7. Ugly Kid Joe - Everything About You

Some say I've got a bad attitude,
but that don't change the way I feel about you,
and if you think this might be bringing me down,
look again 'cause I ain't wearing no frown!

8. The Grateful Dead - Hell In A Bucket

You analyze me, pretend to despise me,
You laugh when I stumble and fall.
There may come a day I will dance on your grave
If unable to dance, I will crawl across it
Unable to dance, I'll still crawl.

9. The Who - I'm Free

If I told you what it takes
to reach the highest high,
You'd laugh and say 'nothing's that simple'
But you've been told many times before
Messiahs pointed to the door
And no one had the guts to leave the temple!

and finally..

10. Weird Al Yankovic - I'll Be Mellow When I'm Dead

I don't care about your Karma.
I don't care about what's hip.
No space cadet's gonna tell me what to do.
I won't swim in your jacuzzi.
You can't make me settle down.
I'd rather kick and jump and bite and scratch
And scream until I'm blue.
I may as well be hyper,
As long as I'm still around.
'Cause I'll have lots of time to be laid back,
When I'm six feet under ground.

I'll be mellow when I'm dead!
I'll be mellow when I'm dead!
I'll be mellow when I'm dead!

That was a fun one.

One song that almost ALWAYS get me is Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush "Don't give up". Parts go something like:

don't give up 'cos you have friends
don't give up you're not beaten yet
don't give up I know you can make it good

don't give up you still have us
don't give up we don't need much of anything
don't give up 'cause somewhere there's a place
where we belong

rest your head you worry too much
it's going to be alright when times get rough
you can fall back on us
don't give up, please don't give up

It just tears at my heart every single time I hear it. The song totally speaks to me.
