What part of lyrics, of all the band's songs, catches you the most?

[RnT]

Mine is:

An' it's so easy to be social
It's so easy to be cool
Yeah, it's easy to be hungry, when you ain't got shit to lose
And I wish that I could help you with what you hope to find
But I'm still out here, waiting
Watching reruns of my life
When you reach the point of breaking
Know it's gonna take some time
To heal the broken memories
That another man would need just to survive

[kyrie]

That part of Coma, the final lines of Estranged, the final lines of Oh My God, and a lot of Madagascar.

[cineater]

It's funny how lines from songs just pop into your mind at the appropriate times in your situations.  I use Ozzy to get the anger out, GNR to deal with it and Grateful Dead when I'm ready to enjoy my life.  You read me singing out at different times, just says it all without having to say too much.

[McGann]

All of “Prostitute”,
“Catcher in the Rye”’s coda…
And SO MANY MORE!

[PermissionToLand]

"You got a glass-jawed toothache of a mental disease
And they be running 'round back, see them line up on their knees
'Cause the kiss-ass sycophants, throwing penance at your feet
When they got nowhere to go, watch them come in off the streets"

"I read it on a wall, it went straight to my head
It said, 'Dance to the tension of a world on edge'"

(Does anybody know where that quote comes from? Or did Axl just come up with it? "Dance to the tension of a world on edge"...)

"Funny how everything was roses when we held on to the guns"

"Kickin' back in the shadow
Got no need for the light
Who's sorry now, old-timer?
Look at how you've spent your life"

[Six Strings]

Today it's the below, but it's different each day, week, month...

Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness
Yeah I'll find a way to cure the pain
If I said that you're my friend
And our love would never end
How long before I had your trust again
I opened up the doors when it was cold outside
Hopin' that you'd find your own way in
But how can I protect you
Or try not to neglect you
When you won't take the love I have to give
I bought me an illusion
An I put it on the wall
I let it fill my head with dreams
And I had to have them all
But oh the taste is never so sweet
As what you'd believe it is -
Well I guess it never is
It's these prejudiced illusions
That pump the blood
To the heart of the biz

[Sillything]

Dont ever lever me Say youll always be there All I ever wanted was for you to know that I care

[ITARocker]

"We take it for granted we know the whole story - We judge a book by its cover and read what we want between selected lines" 

and then









Police and N Words Get outta my way

Just kiddin boys, just kiddin 

[Wooody]

I got a tongue like a razor, a switchblade knife ! -

I'll never find anyone to replace you -

Those are the two that stand the most...

[Gavgnr]

If my intentions are misunderstood,
Please be kind, I’ve done all I should

[D-GenerationX]

"If love is blind, I guess I'll buy myself a cane"

Probably my favorite single line in any of their tunes.

But their alltime underrated tune for great lyrics is  'Breakdown'

The one you love is the one that should take you higher
Ain't got no one, you better go back out and find her

[ITARocker]

Oh i forgot this, sry:

Pussy full of maggots, isn't that absurd

 

[Vezara]

What I thought was beautiful, don't live inside of you anymore

An now that you've been broken down
Got your head out of the clouds
You're back down on the ground
And you don't talk so loud
An you don't walk so proud
Any more, and what for

Your only validation is in living your own life
Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time
So I send this song to the offended
I said what I meant and I've never pretended
As so many others do intending just to please
If I damned your point of view
Could you turn the other cheek

You can push it for more mileage
But your flaps are wearin' thin

[LunsJail]

It’s harder to live with the truth about you than to live with the lies about me.

[GNR4L]

"Better"

This melody inside of me/ still searches for solution/ a twist of fate, a change of heart, cures my infatuation.  A broken heart, provides a spark, for my determination.
