The Republic of Heaven

Or just the general rottenness and corruption and decadence of the 70s Californian scene. But the theories about it being Satanistic are just so much more fun!

I was around for the 70s, tho not in California. Believe me, the decadence is exaggerated.....

Well, for my faves right now, you can include ALL of the Gorillaz's song Dirty Harry, but my favest part 'feelin sensations that you thought was dead, remember, no squealin cuz its all in your head.'

Plus I like some of Korn's stuff, like "I'm the broken one who fixed it," and some other snippets from Jonathon, who seems to put stuff in me better than I do.

And Leonard Cohen, 'when they said, "repent," I wonder what they meant.'

Oh yeah, and Beck's 'Loser'- "In the time of chimpanzees, I was a monkey....'

The Song is from the king of Detroi:BIG Proof-Forgive me:

I'm married to game, my mistress is fame
My girl Paq the closest, she know I ain't gon' change
Go insane in a world evil as ours
I done shot at houses, people and cars
The deeper the scars, the worst is the history
God you ain't gotta forgive me, just don't forget me, you hear me?

The Whole song is great,but i wouldnt really post it here since we`re supossed to post a lines for songs

These always stick in my head -

from New Dress by Depeche Mode :
You cant change the world
But you can change the facts
And when you change the facts
You change points of view
If you change points of view
You may change a vote
And when you change a vote
You may change the world

from Territories by Rush :
The whole wide world
An endless universe
Yet we keep looking through
The eyeglass in reverse
Don't feed the people
But we feed the machines
Can't really feel
What international means

from Somewhere only we know by keane
Oh simple thing where have you gone?

from The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel
I am just a poor boy and my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises
All lies and jest, still the man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest

and

from Enjoy the silence by Depeche Mode
All I ever wanted, all i ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecassary
They can only do harm



A bit long-winded folks, but believe me, I have loads more I could add (but won't).Apologies they are not just single lines, but more like longer snippets or indeed whole verses/chorus

new quotes form songs:

...Shed tears as we bury niggaz close to heart What was a friend now a ghost in the dark.. To Live&Die in LA 2pac.

And right before I put my head on the pillow, say a prayer one love
to the thugs in heaven I'll see you there
It's written for the young and dumb that wasn't warned
Help you make it through the storm
My words to my first born, feel me Words 2 my firstBorn 2pac

Ok this is so cheesey and there are a million other lines that i love from songs but this has got to be the best line from a love song ever ever ever

*can't exactly remember the name or the band...my sister is a big fan*

'Your the chocolate at the end of my Cornetto'

now I don't know about you but I think thats the best compliment you could be paid as far as being compared to food goes...

Bell X1. It's an awful line. "Most of my life is great (the ice cream) but you are a tiny part of it that's a pleasant treat."

all the lyrics to VNV Nation's "Saviour". yeah it's supposed to be a snippet. so sue me, it's song-length snippet:

As the stars appear
I know I'll find you staring at the sky.
Pointlessly reaching for some light
You hope to guide your sorry way.

Your body bleeding.
Your body burned.
Your body scarred.
Around the cinder of your heart

A God of love.
A God of care.
A God of hope.
A God of words.
A God as lost as you and blind
To fill your hollow soul again.
You seek a God to stand above you,
Wrapping healing arms around you.
You'll find another God of pain,
A God of suffering and tears.
Give yourself unto your God.
Sacrifice yourself again.
Burn your thoughts, erase your will
To Gods of suffering and tears.
Tie hallowed bonds around your hands.
Kneel before this seat of shame
To Gods as lost,
Gods as blind,
Gods of suffering and pain

"Fear is a friend who's misunderstood,
But I know the heart of life is good."

- John Mayer - Heart of Life

You seem too rich to have been plundered young
To have been plundered early.
And you know, for all that's ever been
Taken by force from me,
Ah, but it was never more than I could handle
I may have been young, but you know, women are strong
But girls should never have to live in that sort of fear,
Oh, no, no matter what they're made of.

Penelope Swales - 'Corners'

I was just going to quote the first two lines, but I'm drunk and sentimental and love the song too much. It's about a woman who was abused as a child, though that's probably obvious.

Oh my lord,tell me what im livin for everybody`s droppin got me knockin on the heavens door
