Thread: song lines you really like

Tears fall but why am I crying?
After all I'm not afraid of dying.
Don't I believe that there never is an end?

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get

All aboard! Ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaa!

Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay

Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate

Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

Let's Go!

I've listened to preachers
I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role

Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words
Yeah

Heirs of a cold war
That's what we've become
Inheriting troubles I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I'm living with something' that just isn't fair

Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

Pretty much any line from any Tom Waits song.

One that comes to mind is "He got 20 years for lovin' her from some Oklahoma Governor..." and, actually, the rest of the song too (Swordfish Trombones):

Well he came home from the war with a party in his head
and a modified Brougham DeVille
and a pair of legs that opened up like butterfly wings
and a mad dog that wouldn't sit still

he went and took up with a Salvation Army Band girl
who played dirty water on a swordfish trombone
he went to sleep at the bottom of Tenkiller lake
and he said "gee, but it's great to be home."

Well he came home from the war with a party in his head
and an idea for a fireworks display
and he knew that he'd be ready with a stainless steel machete
and a half a pint of Ballentine's each day

he holed up in room above a hardware store
cryin' nothing there but Hollywood tears
he put a spell on some poor little Crutchfield girl and stayed like that for 27 years

Well he packed up all his expectations and lit out for California
with a flyswatter banjo on his knee
with a lucky tiger in his angel hair
and benzedrine for getting there
they found him in a eucalyptus tree

lieutenant got him a canary bird
and shaked her head with every word
and Chesterfielded moonbeams in a song
he got 20 years for lovin' her from some Oklahoma governor
said everything this Doughboy does is wrong

Now some say he's doing the obituary mambo
and some say he's hanging on the wall
perhaps this yarn's the only thing that holds this man together
some say he was never here at all

Some say they saw him down in Birmingham,
sleeping in a boxcar going by
and if you think that you can tell a bigger tale
I swear to God you'd have to tell a lie...

love that song

east and west
become a magic carpet
for you to dancing on

Well there's only two things in life but i forget what they are seems we're either hanging on moonbeams coattails or wishing on stars. Just when you think that you've been gypped, the bearded lady comes and does a double back flip. You run off and join the circus yeah just let that pony ride...

These lyrics are much more harder than some reggaeton's I usualy see by here. I confess I needed a 'translation' from this page. Ok, Let's go.

* here they may also be using a irony by calling the cops as their friends and in this sense, the meaning of prize is completelly opposite.

Morro do Dende is a ghetto in Rio. Ghetto is usually translated as favela but differently from other places, there's not particular concentration of races or coutries descedents in these 'ghettos'. The name Morro means hill and they are really common in Rio, and people live around and on it.

Alem?o=german man = caucasian man (in slang). But here they use it to mean "cop/policeman"
DRE = Delegacia de Repress?o a Entorpecentes, somewhat Policestation to Repress agains Drugs. Drug trafficing is a desease in most of poor ghettos and district. Latins knows it!
BOPE Batalh?o de Opera??es Policiais Especiais, or Brigade for Special Policial Missions

Brazilian Security to civil people is divided into 3 entities: (i) Exercito, the Brazilian Army (ii) Policia Civil and (iii) Policia Militar. The two last are exclusively for keep safe citizens in the cities, and by our Constituition, they have different aims to work with. In some cases they can work together

The purple coloured words are all guns or slangs to them. Parapapapapapapapapa is an onomathopea to shots of gun
