Nimrod99 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 "Angel, Angel, dancing away, as all of my thoughts get rearranged." I love that line from Rest. It has a lot of personal meaning to me that doesn't related in a sexual type way of love.I also love everything from Red Tide... the way Billie kind of throws his voice around is just amazing.I also like "Well I think it's alright that I do what I like. Cause that's the way I wanna live. It's how I give, and I'm still giving." from J.A.R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always liked listening to this album when i've liked someone or thought i was 'in love' I could relate to that feeling of not caring even though 'we're only friends' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celes Chere Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I was listening to Green Day a couple of days ago and I remembered this line that I love:Well no one here, is getting out aliveThis time I've really lost my mind and I don't careSo close your eyesAnd kiss yourself goodbyeAnd think about the times you spent and what they've meantTo me it's nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ila Reto Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 ^ ahh that brings back memories..."black rose of death, im my fist i clutch. thorns shred my fingertips, and drips toxic blood""kiss me one last time, whipe off my sweat, whisper are you dying in my ear" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 This thread is great, it's hard for me to pick out favourite lines because I'd really be quoting every single song. But reading this, some fantastic lines are picked out for me and brought to my attention to enjoy. This is just "I declare I don't care no moreI'm growing up and out and growing boredIn my smoked-out boring roomMy hair is shagging in my eyesDragging my feet to hit the street tonightDrive along these shit town lights" "I declare I dont care no more" is such a perfect start to Dookie. And I love "My hair is shagging in my eyes". Possibly my favourite Green Day lyric, so original and unique, so Billie Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J'net Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Driving home from work today, a couple of songs shuffled around with lyrics that caught my attention:From Judge's Daughter:"You're the one I wish I hadAnd now my girlfriend is getting mad(I cannot call this sane)Today as I was walking downYou bumped into meYou said excuse me and walked awayAs I dropped to my knees"and I love the way, in the same song, Billie changes his voice when he sings:"Can we find a wayso that you can stayI think I'm gonna pop. "From St. Jimmy:"My name is Jimmy and you better not wear it outSuicide commando that your momma talked aboutKing of the forty theivesAnd I'm here to representThe needle in the vein of the establishmentI'm the patron saint of the denialWith an angel face and a taste for suicidalCigarettes and ramen and a little bag of dopeI am the son of a bitch and Edgar Allen PoeRaised in the city under a halo of lightsThe product of war and fear that we've been victimized"Too many lines I know for a "favorite line" thread, but both of those songs are so great, and some of the lines just can't be taken out of context, IMHO. One from the first and one from the most recent album (I won't call it the last...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Day provide lyrics for any occasion The lyrics of that song are great. I like "Doing time and loving every minuteLive it up on another let down"Haha, until recently I'd never heard of the word "salud". My sister and I always thought he'd just decided to invent a mental random word and say it for no reason, it always made us laugh when we heard/sang it. Now we know.

Ila Reto Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 what is it, then?the word salud is a word (i think italian) for the term "health"when said as a toast, it usually means "to good health". in this case, All the Time is about quitting something- possibly alcohol. so when used in the song, it may symbolize how he's constantly making toasts when drinking. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_y...21032937AAaI2rJ^ im armatage shanks, lawl.
