greendaytone Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Do you have a favourite line from a Green Day song?For example, at the moment, i'm loving "well little pieces of sticks and a pocket of stones" from FHTB's Pieces of Truth.I just love the way Billie Joe sings it in that kind of brattish way.Also "It don't take a genius to be an idiot" from Mother Mary was another.Whats your favourite's?(Apologies if there is already a topic out there similar to this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardtoconcentrate Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 There are so many that I love!'Or will we just be forgotten? I don't want to be forgotten' This is from PHGP's The Great Divide. Very simple lyrics but they always stand out for me and I love the way it's sang.As the wind comes off the ocean. And my hair is combed just right.This is from FHT's Highway 1. I love all the lyrics from this song but this one always just reminds me of driving along the coast in L.A when I was there-everytime I listen to this song I get flashbacks of the experience. Golden Gate is falling from behindThis is from FHT's 27th Ave.Shuffle. Another 'brings back a memory one' When my friend and I were in San Francisco in May, everytime we saw the Golden Gate in the distance we couldn't resist singing this line from the song. Good times.Will she find her name-In the California cement?This is from Westbound Sign-one of my ultimate favourite Green Day songs. The song is about Adrienne moving to California and some of the thoughts and obstacles she faces along the way. I have always said I would move to California, even for just a year, and in a way I can relate to the lyrics. It always makes me think about my future when I listen to it.Ready for a cheap escape on the brink of self destruction.This is from the Panic Song. I suffer from panic attacks and I think the lyrics in this song sums up the experience perfectly!I'm a loser and a user so I don't need no accuserMy favourite Green Day song-When I Come Around. This was the first Green Day song I ever heard and that particular line stood out for me instantly. It always reminds me of the first time I discovered the band.I think I'm gonna stop now. There are SO many more lyrics that I could mention but I would be here all day writing them all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greendaytone Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 Nice one guys. This is also proving quite insightful for some lines i wasn't sure of the words for.How about..."Dickhead, F***face,c*** smoking, Motherf****, a**hole, dirty boy, waste of cemen, hope you die, waaaaa!!"Please excuse Billie Joe's language!

It always makes me think about my future when I listen to it.same here. once i hit 18 im heading out to the east coast and actually living for 2 months. i want the whole experience!always gives me hope that i'll be able to make it. it's a very long (and with the gas prices, expensive) drive to make from florida to california! my mom wont even let me do it. im just going to go off and leave her a note. anyway, it also makes me think to the future as you have put it.
