Great song first lines...

[exstatic]

I guess I should have know by the way you parked your car sideways that it wouldn't last...

[mookie2001]

too many to list, off the top of my head



its all the same, only the names wll change


i am a lineman for the county


faith, lies in the ways of sin


can you hear them? they talk about us


i know theres pain, why do you lock yourself up in these chains?


the preacher man says its the end of time

[CuckingFunt]

Hey boy, take a look at me. Let me dirty up your mind.

[Leetonidas]

Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar.

[Leetonidas]

End of passion play, crumbling away, I'm your source of self-destruction

[duncan228]

Is this the real life - is this just fantasy

The Silicon chip inside her head gets switched to overload

[dickface]

Just one of those days where you don't wanna wake up, everythings fucked, everybody sucks, don't really know why but you wanna justify rippin someone's head off

or

It's a fucked up world, what a fucked up place, everybody's judged by their fucked up face, fucked up dreams, fucked up life, fucked up kid with a fucked up knife

or

basically anything by the lyrical geniuses in Limp bIZKIT.

[mookie2001]

theres a new game we like to play you see, a game with added reality

[dickface]

My favoite color is red, like the blood shed from Kurt Cobain's head, when he shot himself dead

[mrsmaalox]

No I'm never gonna do it without the fez on


I'm Lester the Nightfly

[CuckingFunt]

From the moment you said "Why haven't you kissed me yet?" I knew I'd wipe that paint from your lips



I woke up this morning with a bad hangover and my penis was missing again

[mardigan]

Red wine and sleeping pills,
help me get back to your arms




In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey

[Sense]

That there, That's not me

No more going to the dark side with your flying saucer eyes
No more falling down a wormhole that I have to pull you out

[TDMVPDPOY]

one of 2pacs song

i fck ur b**** u fat motha fckr....

"...Girls ... ya all I really want is girls
And in the morning it's girls
Cause in the evening it's girls..."

[marini martini]

The boyz in Oklahoma roll their joints all wrong.............

[760Spursfan]

"bitches aint shit but hoes and tricks"

[Leetonidas]

Ticking away the moments of a dull day, you fritter and waste your hours in an off-hand way. Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown, waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

[Cry Havoc]

"I'm the man in the box"


"The blow's been dealt and it's taken it's toll,
listless I stumble like a drunk in the cold,
questioning foundations of a hope I took for granted
I feel my soul choked
by the rope of a slanted view of reality
(So it seems) maybe I’ve been
living in some childish day dream As not
but dust in motion, an insignificant drop
in an endless ocean"

"There are times that walk from you like some passing afternoon
Summer warmed the open window of her honeymoon
And she chose a yard to burn but the ground remembers her
Wooden spoons, her children stir her Bougainvillea blooms"

"We never met, you and I.
We were always inside, we were somewhere inside one another.
And I'll live without you, Love,
but what good is one glove, without the other?"

"Your motives unstable you're like an unwinding cable car
Listening for voices, but it's the choices that make us who we are"

"Step out the front door like a ghost
into a fog where no one notices the contrast between white on white"

"Where are we? What the hell... is going on?"

"Once upon a time, I was on a mind to lay your burden down"

"I see a red door and I want it painted black"

Just off the top of my head.

[EricB]

Just a small town girl, living in a lonely wooorld, she took the midnight train going anywhere.

[baseline bum]

Mr. Mr. Scarface walking down the block.
Out jump some fiends and steal all his rocks.
Pulls out a gun and shoots down all the fiends,
And Mr. Mr. Scarface went up the block again.

[kromediablo]

Alright stop! Colaborate and listen....ice is back with a brand new intention......lol

[Fat Bones]

Were no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do i
A full commitments what Im thinking of
You wouldnt get this from any other guy

[Spurminator]

Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone, lived nine to five and he worked his fingers to the bone


(Not so much the lyric but the delivery.)

[Mister Sinister]

Well when I was young
I was so full of fear
I hid behind anger
Held back the tears

[ATRAIN]

When I met you last night baby
Before you opened up your gap
I had respect for ya lady
But now I take it all back

[MiamiHeat]

Oh, get me away from here i'm dying
Play me a song to set me free
Nobody writes them like they used to
so it may as well be me

[Thunder Dan]

I confess,Everyone is overweight
And I'm obsessed,Talking is just masturbating
Without the mess

[JamStone]

"Youve got a rocket in your pocket. Why can't you just let me be?"

"Love is Rare" by Morcheeba

"Professor, what's another word for pirate treasure?"

"Well I think it's booty, booty, booty. That's what it is."

"Professor Booty"

Yo its three thousand thirty
I want y'all to meet Deltron Zero, hero, not no small feat.

[manufan10]

You got a body like the devil and you smell like sex I can tell you're trouble but I'm still obsessed Because you know you're SO HOT

[JamStone]

"Annie's 12 years old and tomorrow she'll be a whore. Nobody ever told her it's the wrong way."

"Wrong Way"
by Sublime

[Jimcs50]

Not a first line, but one of my favorite lyrics:

Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is
To see you


-Dylan

[manufan10]

I lie here paralytic
Inside this soul
Screaming for you till my throat is numb

[manufan10]

I'm just a step away
I'm just a breath away
Losing my faith today
Falling off the edge today

I am just a man
Not superhuman
I'm not superhuman
Someone save me from the hate

[PakiDan]

From the moment you said "Why haven't you kissed me yet?" I knew I'd wipe that paint from your lips



I woke up this morning with a bad hangover and my penis was missing again

Hahaha! King Missile!... and Poe... very good!


I like getting head 'cause it's so convenient...

[manufan10]

When the lights go up and the game is on
Are you ready for me? ‘Cause I’m ready for you
When the bell rings out and the fight is on
Are you ready for me? ‘Cause I’m ready for you

[CuckingFunt]

Hahaha! King Missile!... and Poe... very good!

Queens of the Stone Age, not Poe. She's got a few good ones, though.

[ATRAIN]

Waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop
Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech
As he opens the door, she rolls over...
Pretends to sleep as he looks her over

[ATRAIN]

Queens of the Stone Age, not Poe. She's got a few good ones, though.

here is another good one for ya funt

It's a mistake, but who knows
Followed you home, crawled in your window
This life is a trip when you're psycho in love
And I know

[CuckingFunt]

here is another good one for ya funt

It's a mistake, but who knows
Followed you home, crawled in your window
This life is a trip when you're psycho in love
And I know

Just listened to that song yesterday.

[katyon6th]

She's a very kinky girl.

[ATRAIN]

She's a very kinky girl.

The kind you dont bring home to momma

[ATRAIN]

Two of my favs from NIN

You give me the reason.
You give me control.
I gave you my Purity.
My Purity you stole.
Did you think I wouldn't recognize this compromise.
Am I just too stupid to realize.
Stale incense old sweat and lies lies lies




and

Breeze still carries the sound
maybe i'll disappear
tracks will fade in the snow
you won't find me here

[CuckingFunt]

Johnny, angry Johnny, this is Jezebel in hell
I wanna kill you, I wanna blow you...away



He scares easily, it makes him so angry at me
And his head it spins around
just like the exorcist and I
find it ever so
Hard to resist his cries



Lump sat alone in a boggy marsh,
totally emotionless except for her heart
Mud flowed up into lump's pajamas
she totally confused all the passing pihranas



Movin' to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches



I've been elected to rock your asses till midnight
This is my term, and I've jammed out my perm, but it's all right



The sugar's only sweetness,
Salt is ocean tears
And you were my only weakness
For years and years and years

[katyon6th]

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips.

[LnGrrrR]

Eh, my fave NIN opening line is probably:

I'm becoming less defined as days go by
Fading away well you might say
I'm losing focus
Kinda drifting in the abstract

[LnGrrrR]

I saw Poe in 2002 or so, my gf at the time was really into her. Opened for Depeche Mode. Not a huge fan of her songs, but I love "Hello". (I think that's the name of it.)

[LnGrrrR]

Also, not a first line, but a great lyric:

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor

[PakiDan]

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips.

I'm starting to think Katy may be alot of fun...

[Bender]

those lyrics can't be real... can they? never listened to limp bizkit

[Viva Las Espuelas]

i have a few.

I can dream up schemes when I'm sitting in my seat
I don't see any flaws 'til I get to my feet
I wish I never woke up this morning
Life was easy when it was boring

---

There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution

---

We're gonna break out the hats and hooters
When Josie comes home

---

In the morning, it takes me quite a while to clear my head
And as the day moves on, I find it hard to smile at something said

[ATRAIN]

Today seems like a good day to burn a bridge or two
The one with old wood creaking that would burn away right on cue
I try to be not like that but some people really suck
Some people need to get the axing chalk it up to bad luck

[mrsmaalox]

You woke up this morning
Got yourself a gun,
Mama always said you'd be
The Chosen One.




We're gonna break out the hats and hooters
When Josie comes home

I was gonna do the hats and hooters! :)

[Mister Sinister]

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack.
And you may find yourself in another part of the world.
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile.
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house...with a beautiful wife.
And you may ask yourself, "Well...how did I get here?"

[CuckingFunt]

I'm so tired, of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress too long

[Leetonidas]

And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too, I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

[greyforest]

i've been mad for fucking years. absolutely years.

[exstatic]

I am the son and the heir
of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir of nothing in particular

[SA210]

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait.... for you

[exstatic]

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies.

[pjjrfan]

my mind is clearer now, at last all to well I can see where we all soon will be.
"too much heaven on their minds"
Jesus Christ Superstar.

[Stringer_Bell]

You make me com-
You make me complete
You make me completely miserable

AND

Yo se bien que estoy afuera
Pero el dia que yo me muera
Se que tendras que llorar

[tw05baller]

at the end of it all we will be sold for parts

[holcs50]

those lyrics can't be real... can they? never listened to limp bizkit

Yea those are real limp bizkit lyrics, ha.


I don't know where Im goin
But I sure know where I've been
hanging on to the promises and the songs of yesterday
An I've made up my mind I ain't wasting no more time
but here I go again, here I again

Whitesnake baby, 80s hair metal mofo!


Tommy used to work on the docks, unions been on strike
hes down on his luck, its tough so tough
Geena works the diner all day working for her man
she brings home her pay for love, for love

She says we've got to hold on to what we've got
it doesn't make it a difference if we make it or not
we've got each other and that's a lot for love
we'll give it a shot!

WO-ooo we're half way there
WO-oooo living on a prayer
take my hand we'll make it I swear
Wooo living on a prayer

we'll duh, sadly if I'm boozin it up and either of these songs come on i'll fuckin sing the hell out of them, ha

[CubanSucks]

Ticking away the moments of a dull day, you fritter and waste your hours in an off-hand way. Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown, waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Don't even get me started on this masterpiece. I can't see any of the lyrics to this song without singing the entire thing in my head...shit

"tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain. You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. But then one day you find, ten years have gone behind you, no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun *greatest guitar solo ever*"


I think I'll stop there. GREATEST SONG EVER

[CubanSucks]

"When you were hear before, couldn't look you in the eye. You're just like an angel. Your skin makes me cry. You float like a feather-er-er, in a beautiful world. I wish I were special. You're so fucking special."



another song I can't just end on the first line



"BUT I'M A CREEP. I'M A WEIRDO-O-O. WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING HEAR? I DON'T BELONG HEAR."

[CubanSucks]

"Sometimes, I feel the fear of, uncertainty stinging clear. And I, can't help but ask myself how much I let the fear take the wheel and steer."

Incubus-Drive

[DPG21920]

"I've been really trying, baby, trying to hold back these feelings for so long"

"I've got you under my skin, I've got you deep in the heart of me"

"Now I've heard there was a secret cord that David played, and it pleased the Lord"

[DPG21920]

"Sometimes, I feel the fear of, uncertainty stinging clear. And I, can't help but ask myself how much I let the fear take the wheel and steer."

Incubus-Drive

That is a great one.

[WildcardManu]

Well I'm sittin on my lunch break, grinnin my teeth (my teeth)
It's the last day of the week, boy what a relief (relief)

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Gotta get-get, gotta get-get
Gotta get-get, gotta g-g-g-get-get-get, get-get

[leemajors]

Rudy's on the midway
and Jacob's in the hole
the monkey's on the ladder
the devil shovels coal
with crows as big as airplanes
the lion has three heads
and someone will eat the skin that he sheds
and the earth died screaming
the earth died screaming
while I lay dreaming of you

[CuckingFunt]

Edna million in a drop dead suit
Dutch pink on a downtown train
Two-dollar pistol but the gun wont shoot
I'm in the corner on the pouring rain
Sixteen men on a dead man's chest
And Ive been drinking from a broken cup
Two pairs of pants and a mohair vest
I'm full of bourbon, I cant stand up

--

Don't go to church on Sunday
Don't get on my knees to pray
Don't memorize the books of the bible
I got my own special way
But I know Jesus loves me
Maybe just a little bit more
I fall on my knees every Sunday
At Zerelda Lee's candy store

Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied

[CubanSucks]

out of all the Radiohead songs and you choose Creep?

Creep is their best and one of my all time favorites

Great expectations, everybody's watching you

[Summers]

Early in the morning, Rising to the street.
Light me up that cigarette and I'll strap shoes on my feet
Got to find a reason. Reason things went wrong.
Got to find a reason why my moneys all gone.
I got a dalmatian and I can still get high.
I can play the guitar like a mother fucking riot.

A couple of my other favorites(I have very diverse tastes):

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Susanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to


Young teacher the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be


Oh mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Lawman has put an end to my running and I'm so far from my home
Oh mama, I can hear your crying you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows and I don't have very long


He greets his father with his hands up
Rehabilitated slightly, glad to be the mans child
The world is different since he seen it last
Outta jail been seven years and he's happy that he's free at last


It must be your skin I'm sinking in
Must be for real 'cause now I can feel
And I didn't mind, it's not my kind
It's not my time to wonder why


Well, excuse me, but I think youve got my chair.
No, that ones not taken, I dont mind
If you sit here, Ill be glad to share.
Yeah, its usually packed here on friday nights.
Oh, if you dont mind, could I talk you out of a light.

He who makes a beast out of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man.


Idk if it's the first line or just spoken, but it's damn cool.

Good opener. I also dig this one from A7X:

"So much time I've wasted. I can truly say I never thought it would come to this."

Of course, maybe it's just from my point of view.
