^ biwwie's wittle wub songs make me wanna cry lately for no intention or reason for doing so. :down:

"Better come back around and get some pieces of truth"

it sounds pure FHT to me when i hear it. The voice isn't even billie's anymore, it's the reverend's and its like "billie who?" haha...

Totally agree about the Rev persona thing, I think he really got into the idea of the character. Especially from what I've heard about him on stage. I think he put himself in the mindframe of being the outrageous Reverend and just completely went for it.

"Another day lost in the east bay fog" Pinhead Gunpowder

(Atleast I think that's what he's saying. :pinch:)

and every single line from Insomniac.

"Every time I look in my past

I always wish I was there

I wish my youth would forever last

Why are these times so unfair"

That whole song is golden.

All of 1039 is golden. Every freaking lyric.

"Looking back upon my life and the places that I've been

Pictures, faces, girls I've loved, I try to remember when

Faded memories on the wall, some names I have forgotten

but each one is a memory I look back on so often.

I look into the past, and I want to make it last.

I was there, I was there.

Looking back what I have done, there's lots more life to live

As I look 'round at the world I question what I can give

But I don't let it get me down or cause me too much sorrow

'Cuz there's no doubt about who I am, I always have tomorrow."

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!

you can swear on here man

:blink: I thought it was dirty twat and waste of semen

Yeah you're right. At the time it came out obviously they weren't allowed to put the lyrics in the booklet, but Billie Joe put out a message telling the public the lyrics (I'm not sure where, maybe via their fansite or something). He clearly felt it was important that people knew the exact right words :lol:

I've seen the message on the net somewhere, and it was indeed "dirty twat" and "waste of semen". Although before I read that I couldn't hear what it was at all, he doesn't exactly say it clearly!

"I hope you had the time of your life.."

Will always be my all time fave. I have it engraved on the back of my iPod :wub: It will stay with me forever..or atleast until it dies.

I'm really loving Homecoming at the moment.

Some of my favourite lines:

"You taught me how to live."

"It's my own private suicide."

"This life-like dream ain't for me."

I also really like the way Billie sings "So far away, I don't wanna stay, get me outta here right now."

Every line sung on Warning is my favourite as well :P

I dont like that song much.

:blink: I thought it was dirty twat and waste of semen

same i think it is

"Platypus (I Hate You)"

Your rise and fall

Back up against the wall

What goes around is coming back and haunting you

It's time to quit

Cause you ain't worth the shit

Under my shoes or the piss on the ground

No one loves you and you know it

Don't pretend that you enjoy it or you don't care

Cause now I wouldn't lie or tell you all the things you want

to hear.

Cause I hate you

Cause I hate you

Cause I hate you

Cause I hate you

I heard you're sick

Sucked on that cancer stick

A throbbing tumor and a radiation high

Shit out of luck

And now your time is up

It brings me pleasure just to know you're going to die

Dickhead, Fuckface, cock smoking, mother fucking, asshole,

dirty twat, waste of semen, I hope you die HEY

Red eye, code blue

I'd like to strangle you

And watch your eyes bulge right out of your skull

When you go down

Head first into the ground

I'll stand above you just to piss on your grave

Oh God. This question is so impossibly hard. There's so many lyrics that I think are absolutely brilliant.

"Why does my life have to be so small, yet death is forever? And does forever have a life to call it's own? Don't give me an answer 'cause you only know as much as I know. Unless you've been there once, well I hardly think so."

"I used to pray all night before I lay myself down. My mother said it was right. Her mother said it too. Why?"

Both from One Of My Lies.

"He's a victim of his own time in his "vintage suit" and tie. He's a casualty dressed to the teeth in the latest genocide."

Fashion Victim

There's so many more... but I'm just gonna say those for now.

I really like this verse from Macy's Day Parade:

When I was a kid I thought

I wanted all the things that I haven't got

Oh. I learned the hardest way

Then I realized what it took

To tell the difference between

Thieves and crooks

A lesson learned to me and you

But considering our luck

We'll get busted by the cops

Instead of sex we'll go to jail

Another lesson learned and failed

Guest give me novacaine-jos

i've finally decided. my favourite lines are:

The motto was just a lie

It says "home is where your heart is"

But what a shame

'cause everyones heart doen't beat the same

It's beating out of time

and

Here comes the rain again

Falling from the stars

Drenched in my pain again

Becoming who we are

As my memory rests

But never forgets what I lost

I can't choose one...

'I don't need your authority

Down with the moral majority

'Cause I want to be the minority'

I've always related to that...

'And in the darkest night

If my memory serves me right

I'll never turn back time

Forgetting you, but not the time.'

'So go do what you like

Make sure you do it wise

You may find out that your self-doubt means nothing

was ever there

You can't go forcing something if it's just

not right'

And, like, all of Wake Me Up When September Ends :]

She, she screams in silence

a sullen riot penetrating through her mind

Waiting for a sign

to smash the silence with the brick of self control.

I love that song..

I also love the line from Emenius Sleepus:

"now I think I'm sick and I wanna go home."

"Remember, whatever, it seems like forever ago"

"the regrets, are usless in my mind....i must confess"

^

yes. that whole last part of the song is beautiful, even if it does make me cry a good 93% of the time.

im really enjoying the lyrics to Scattered lately. not to mention that the whole melody is lovely.

"Open the past and present, now and we are there"

"Loose ends tied in knots leaving a lump down in my throat"- even if i dont understand what it means half the time.

"cuz now it seems i've forgotten my purpose in this life. Now all the songs have been erased, guess i've learned from my mistakes".

^ powerfull stuff right there people. amazing.

No one ever said that life was fair!"
