I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I've tried
I've tried
But you're still the same
I'm losing my baby
You're losing a savior and a saint

Cardigans - My Favourite Game

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails
across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face
along the straits of fear

The headmaster's had enough today
All the kids have gone away
Gone to fight with next doors school
Every term, that is the rule
Sits alone and bends his cane
Same old backsides again
All the small ones tell tall tales
Walking home and squashing snails

Madness - Baggy Trousers



Please tell me how far
Is my way back to you
Please tell me how far
Is my way to your happiness
Please show me the time
The time in which we will never fade


This is actually a german song... so the german lyrics are..

Sag mir bitte wie weit
Ist mein Weg zu Dir zurück
Sag mir bitte wie weit
Ist mein Weg zu Deinem Glück
Zeig mir bitte die Zeit
Die Zeit in der wir nie vergehen



Well all I can say, is that this song has some of the most beautiful lyrics I have ever heard. This song writer is amazing in every song he has ever wrote, for his band and other singers..... He's wrote so many.. I will just link his wiki page...

actually one of their other songs, I wrote a short story based around the song.



Another song with great lyrics

Mama - Wo bist du jetzt
Mama - Warum bist du nicht hier
Bei mir
Mama wo bist du
Bitte sag mir geht´s dir gut
Es tut so weh hörst du mir zu
Mama wo bist du


English translation

Mama - Where are you now
Mama - Why are not you here
with me
Mama where are you
Please tell me you okay
It hurts so much, you listening to me
Mama where are you



Welcome to the human race...
I don't follow...


It's a (joking) reference to a line from Limp Bizkit's "Livin' It Up", although I see that he actually said 28 instead of 29. It's funny because he's clearly saying it to sound cool and badass but given what Fight Club is really like it comes across as misinformed at best.

EDIT: In case it wasn't clear, I do not think that Limp Bizkit is a good band.



It's breaking my heart.
It's hurting my nose.
It's turning my skin green!

- "Birdo" by Horse the Band



Sorry if I'm rude but I'm right
Another song with great lyrics

Mama - Wo bist du jetzt
Mama - Warum bist du nicht hier
Bei mir
Mama wo bist du
Bitte sag mir geht´s dir gut
Es tut so weh hörst du mir zu
Mama wo bist du


English translation

Mama - Where are you now
Mama - Why are not you here
with me
Mama where are you
Please tell me you okay
It hurts so much, you listening to me
Mama where are you
Sounds like a terrible anti-abortion commercial.

Minio leave my music alone...

On another note, one of my favorite lyrical songs is "Sieben" by the Pagan Folk band Faun from Germany. Yeah I listen to a lot of German music... for those out there who dont know.. "Sieben" is the german word for "7"

7 Rosen roter wie Blut,
7 seidene Hemden dazu,
7 Namen, die geb ich dir,
doch deinen Ring, den will ich dafür.

7 Rosen roter wie Blut,
7 seidene Hemden dazu,
7 Namen, die gibst du mir,
doch meinen Ring, den halt ich bei mir.

7 Rösser, so weiß wie der Schnee,
7 Schwäne im stillen See,
7 Falken, die geb ich dir,
doch deinen Ring, den will ich dafür.

7 Rösser so weiß wie der Schnee,
7 Schwäne im stillen See,
7 Falken, die gibst du mir,
doch meinen Ring, den halt ich bei mir.

Du wirst ziehen für immer und mehr,
dein Glück liegt 7 Schritte vor dir.
7 Schritte und ein goldenes Land,
zeige ich dir für den Ring, der mich bannt.

Nein, du wirst ziehen für immer und mehr,
die Welt misst 7 Schritte zu dir.
In deiner Welt, da läg ich falsch
und meinen Ring legst du mir um den Hals.

Nein, du wirst ziehen für immer und mehr,
die Welt misst 7 Schritte zu dir,
7 Schritte sind 7 zu viel,
Wege führen weiter ohne Ziel.



Hey there Mister Madman, what'cha know that I don't know
Tell me some crazy stories, let me know who runs this show
Glassy-eyed and laughing, he turns and walks away
Tell me what made you that way



Maybe I just wanna fly
Want to live I don't wanna die
Maybe I just wanna breath
Maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever



Must I go bound while you go free
Must I love a man who doesn't love me
Must I be born with so little art
As to love a man who'll break my heart


Traditional Irish song "The Water is Wide"
