Most memorable music lyrics

[K-town]

Warren Zevon "Lawyers, Guns and Money"

Well, I went home with the waitress
The way I always do
How was I to know
She was with the Russians, too

I was gambling in Havana
I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns and money
Dad, get me out of this

I'm the innocent bystander
Somehow I got stuck
Between the rock and the hard place
And I'm down on my luck
And I'm down on my luck
And I'm down on my luck

Now I'm hiding in Honduras
I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers, guns and money
The shit has hit the fan

Send lawyers, guns and money...

The God that failed, by Metallica

Pride you took
Pride you feel
Pride that you felt when you'd kneel

Not the word
Not the love
Not what you thought from above

It feeds
It grows
It clouds all that you will know
Deceit
Deceive
Decide just what you believe

I see faith in your eyes
Never your hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail

Follow the God that failed

Find your peace
Find your say
Find the smooth road in your way

Trust you gave
A child to save
Left you cold and him in grave

It feeds
It grows
It clouds all that you will know
Deceit
Deceive
Decide just what you believe

I see faith in your eyes
Never you hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail

Follow the God that failed

I see faith in your eyes
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail

Follow the God that failed

Pride you took
Pride you feel
Pride that you felt when you'd kneel

Trust you gave
A child to save
Left you cold and him in grave

I see faith in your eyes
Never you hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by deepened nail

Follow the God that failed

This song reminds me of the perceived corruption of popular religion, a sticking point for me personally

[Deputy Nutz]

I really hated Wings, and truthfully I ain't that big of a McCartney fan except for his brilliance with writing music and performing, I pretty much think he is an asshole. When Guns and Roses came out with this song, I thought it was the most fantastic thing I ever heard, then I listened to the Wings version and I now have to go back to the original even though it is fucking Wings.

When you were young and your heart was an open book
You used to say live and let live
You know you did
You know you did
You know you did
But if this ever-changing world in which we live in
Makes you give in and cry

Chorus
Say live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die

What does it matter to ya?
When you gotta job to do
You gotta do it well
You gotta give the other fellow hell

You used to say live and let live
You know you did
You know you did
You know you did
But if this ever-changing world in which we live in
Makes you give in and cry

Actually, they're quite active. They released an amazing album last year called "Before the Robots", tour endlessly, and headlined the "Blubber Run" festivities in downtown Minneapolis last September. As their roots are in Nawlins, they do quite a bit of fundraising for victims of Katrina.

Actually, it was a joke. I was talking about the band they were named after. They had a different name, but there was some band named "Ezra" in New Orleans that got more pub, so they renamed their band "Better Than Ezra."

You know, for as long as I've been a fan, I've never heard that story. I really didn't know where their name came from. Guess I didn't research. Thanks for the joke and the info.

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame

You say
One love
One life
When it’s one need
In the night
It’s one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you don’t care for it

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Well it’s too late
Tonight
To drag tha past out
Into the light
We’re one
But we’re not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One

Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come tor raise the dead
Havew you come here to play jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it’s all I got
We’re one
But we’re not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again

You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can’t be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should

One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers

One life
But we’re not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other

One

One.

zig, incase you didn't get the memo, i'll post it again.

Please, Post the song title and artist. As well as, the reason it is memorable to you. even if it as simple as, Little billy started throwing food all over this morning at breakfast and i told him to eat it. which made me think of the song by Wierd Al called EAT IT, which is a parody of MJ's Beat it. See what i'm getting at??

mmm ya i'll just go ahead and foward you another copy. we need the TPS reports done correctly. mmm ya. so i'm going to ask you to work on saturday as well.

[MJZiggy]

I thought that one was obvious and didn't need 'splainin'.

[Little Whiskey]

ask my wife she will tell you how dense i am, still don't know who wrote the damn thing

[jack's smirking revenge]

Zig, please excuse Whiskey for his "redneckedness". He wouldn't know one of the best U2 songs ever written ("One").

[MJZiggy]

Thank you. And he's forgiven.

[Little Whiskey]

i'm not going to try and excuse myself for not knowing that song. but i didn't so jack, go suck a hole or pole, which ever you prefer! not a big U2 fan. i know i'm in the minority

[jack's smirking revenge]

What if I suck both? And at the same time? Think the universe would collapse upon itself?

Or maybe I'd get my dog back, my girl back, my truck back and a fresh sickpack....

(I'm not much of a U2 fan either. I think they're overblown, especially in the last couple of years. But I know that song.)

so you think your better than me?

Heck yeah. I'm a U2 GOD compared to you!

But, umm, not really, because if you asked me a single question about country music, I wouldn't have the answer.

Okay, I remembered the artist and title, I just forgot the personal significance thing. So here goes:

My Own Worst Enemy is kind of my "anthem". Because I've frequently regretted things I've said the night before, have woken up fully dressed, and have had an occasion or two of "where the hell did I park".

Lawyers, Guns and Money came to me when I was driving to the police station one day to bail out a friend, who had been picked up for unpaid traffic tickets...several hundred dollars worth of unpaid traffic tickets.
He got picked up by the police while trying to break up a fight. When he gave his name, they ran a check, found out about his tickets and hauled him off to jail. No good deed goes unpunished.
