Favourite Lindsey Lyrics
 

What are bits of your favourite Lindsey lyrics from any of the solo or FM album's he's written?

Im really into WTWCT as of late and cant get out of my mind:


I could jump right out ~ fall right into the ocean

My faves...
 

"when the darkness comes, you've got to fly into the light..."

"I'm a soul drifter, and I'm out of this town, ain't no use hangin' round you see..."

"you don't belong here, I guess you never did" (Heck, ALL of Red Rover!!)

"I'm so afraid, the way I feel..." (Ditto on ISA!!)

There are just too many I love!! :)

So many choices :laugh:

Probably this from ISA because I feel like I lived it many times:

Days when the rain and the sun are gone
Black as night
Agony's torn at my heart too long
So afraid
Slip and I fall and I die

Note: this favorite status could change at any given moment :laugh:

Pretty much all of "Say Goodbye" is up there because of all the srana associated with it and the "love [they] couldn't hold" :eek:

I love all of Murrow, but as you can tell by my sig, I really love that line and the message it conveys.

From Turn It On "the hurt that you feel makes you strong"

From Don't Look Down "Spread your broken wings and learn how to fly.
Take the diamonds from the sun,
wipe the tear from your eye"

I'm sure I'll be back with more later.

-Lisa

Now I finally found my way
Now I know just what to do
Once you said goodbye to me
Now I say goodbye to you

Course the delivery of this one is an important factor in why it's so touching. But there's just something so heart-tugging but also amazingly sweet and peaceful about it.

I know it's not officially released, but I really love the pace, rythm and content of this quote. I adore shuffle riff.....

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I don’t want to wait for you
Oh, no, oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I don’t want to wait for you

Is it just a separate voice?
Did you hear what they said?
Is it only that you’re lonely?
Did you save him everyday?
Is your lie justified?
Kick your holes through your door
Did you die with him right
on the floor, floor, floor

Ooohh....



And then that awesome melodic, emotional, rythmic screaming guitarpart...... heaven;)

The light was creepin... down, down down... while we were sleepin... suddenly we hit the ground

Love those lyrics too.

Great song picks! I enjoy reading this forum. Makes me more into LB!

I love those as well. SYHA makes me hjappy when I hear it. I think it is just such a FM sounding song.

A little tour through Tusk
 

"Don't know why I have to go
Don't know why I can't stay
Guess I want to be alone
And I guess I need to be amazed"

"Every little bit
is there
to see
Every little bit
of you
and me"

"The dreams of a lifetime
told me wrong
Everything is all right
and now it's gone"

"They told me that I never would recover
Still some say they knew me well"

And speaking of "Walk a Thin Line" I know the lyric booklet says "Please toe the line" but I always heard "Please tie my tie". So much more vulnerable and sensitive IMO. Thoughts?:shrug:

This is my favorite too! It is just so powerful! I feel the pain right with him.

My favorite lyrics by Lindsey on SYW are from Murrow:

All the sainted sinners
They pay handsomely
And with the aid, they make the weapons
And they run the prisons
And they sell the justice
'Cause being guilty is just good business



That is so true!!!!!!! :nod:


:wavey: :wavey: :wavey:

Here's the ones I DON'T like, hahaha
 

I like most of Lindsey's lyrics...except the Mirage/Tango ones like Book of Love, Oh Diane, Family Man, Empire State...yuck! LOL They are too hokey!

I think Goodbye Angel is very pretty and should have been put on Mirage, and not scrapped only to reemerge on the box set.

I really identify with LB's lyrics on life experience level...whereas with Stevie's I identify on a love/relationship level...if that makes sense...

Favorite Lyrics...
 

:cool: " Walk down this road in the cool
of the night! Don't know what's wrong
but I do know what is right! Iam what
I am... I am what I am a Family MAN!"

:cool: "We make all of our sons/suns the same
Every one will suffer the fire we've made!
They all explode just the same...and there
is no going back on the plans we made!"

Peacekeeper don't tell why...don't be afraid
to fight!!! LOVE is the sweet Surprise!" :)

:cool: "Waiting here...for something...
Something I don't know...Deep in the
darkness...I go to sleep...I Pray the
Lord my soul to keep !!!" OOTC So dear!

:cool: " Come to me sweet darlin' ...
hold me tight...Let your honey keep
you warm!!! It's been so long since
anyone touched me...I've forgotten
what Love is for!" Trouble Ummmm!

re:
 

lyrically I think Miranda is amazing, definitely some of the best lyndsay lyrics. :)

There are so many, and Buck's lyrics keep getting better and better....I couldn't pick just bits. I love the melodies of these songs, too!!!:

LOVING CUP from "Go Insane"
You are the object of my desire
Open your mouth and put out the fire - Lindsey Buckingham

SAY GOODBYE from "Say You Will"
Saw your face yesterday thinking of the days of old
And the price that we paid for a love we couldn't hold
Oh I let you slip away there was nothing I could do
That was so long ago still I often think of you

I fall down I get up and I've always had to fight
Everything that was wrong for the things that were right
Now I've finally found my way now I know just what to do
Once you said goodbye to me now I say goodbye to you

It's so hard to find your way
When the liars come around
Still it happens every day
So don't let it get you down

Just a time within a time just a scheme within a scheme
A little world within a world just a dream just a dream
And now I've finally found my way
now I know just what to do
Once you said goodbye to me now I say goodbye to you

Now I best be on my way before the night turns blue
Once you said goodbye to me now I say goodbye to you
Once you said goodbye to me now I say goodbye to you
---Lindsey Buckingham

PEACEKEEPER from "Say You Will"
Peacekeeper take you time wait for the dark of night
Soon all the suns will rise
Peacekeeper don't tell why don't be afraid to fight
Love is the sweet surprise. -- Lindsey Buckingham

WHAT'S THE WORLD COMING TO from "Say You Will"
What's the world coming to
What they say isn't true
You can't plant no seed
Where there's only greed
I can walk anywhere
I can walk anytime
But the lone highway
Is the only way
What's the world coming to what's the world coming to
Everyone's gone to the moon what's the world coming to
Every night every day
In this house filled with shame
I can say I care
But there's no one there
There's no truth in my lies
There's no light in my eyes
And it's all I guess
That I'll ever miss

What's the world coming to what's the world coming to
Everyone's gone to the moon what's the world coming to

I can jump right off fall right into the ocean
I can come right out mean just what I say
But if I don't call for a reservation
they'll just turn me down turn me inside out

I don't say what they want
I don't do what they say
So I'm on their list
So I'm gone I guess

What's the world coming to what's the world coming to
Everyone's gone to the moon what's the world coming to
---Lindsey Buckingham



BLEED TO LOVE HER from "Say You Will"
Once again she steals away
Then she reaches out to kiss me
How she takes my breath away
Pretending that she don't miss me
Oh I would bleed to love her
Bleed to love her
Oh I would bleed to love her -- Lindsey Buckingham

STEAL YOUR HEART AWAY from "Say You Will"
So come on let's go let's run away
If that's all there is
Oh to steal your heart away -- Lindsey Buckingham

TROUBLE from "Law and Order"
I really should be saying goodnight, little girl,
I really shouldn't stay any more.
It's been so long since I felt this way.
I've forgotten what love is for.
I should run on the double...
I think I'm in trouble.
I think I'm in trouble.
So come to me darlin', hold me tight,
Let your honey keep you warm
It's been so long since anyone touched me,
I've forgotten what love is for.
I should run on the double....
I think I'm in trouble.
I think I'm in trouble. -- Lindsey Buckingham

(4Buck - "I like to cuddle :laugh:")

DOING WHAT I CAN from "Out of the Cradle"
Oh, the sun is HOTTTTT!!!
A man is just a man
When the darkness comes
You've got to do with what you've got
I'm doing what I can -- Lindsey Buckingham

SOUL DRIFTER from "Out of the Cradle"
I'm a soul drifter
And I'm out of this town
Ain't no use hangin' round
You see
My heart was broken
My part was spoken
Now the ground has opened
All around me
I'm a soul lifter
And it's out of my hands
So it's off to other lands
You see
It's a new dawn
So it's so long
For the soul lifter
the soul drifter
That's me - Lindsey Buckingham

ALL MY SORROWS from "Out of the Cradle"
Only one thing that money can't buy
True love that will never die. - Lindsey Buckingham

I MUST GO from "Go Insane"
I've been trying to get to you
Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone
I just can't seem to get through
Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone
You leave in the morning but you don't come back
Hey little girl, you're leaving me all alone
Hey little girl, you're on the wrong track
Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone
I've been waiting
Contemplating
Now I know
If you're aching
Heart's breaking
Let the four winds blow
And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go - Lindsey Buckingham

SLOW DANCING from "Go Insane"
I turn and look around when you walk by
You're just the kind of thing to catch my eye
I come up fast, I go down slow
So tell me darlin' do you want to go
(Let's go) Slow dancing in the moonlight
(Let's go) Want to slow dance with you all night -- L. Buckingham

D.W. SUITE from "Go Insane"
Pray for guidance from above
Shadow all your hopes with love
Never be afraid, never be afraid -- Lindsey Buckingham

GO INSANE from "Go Insane" and "The Dance"
Two kinds of people in this world
Winners, losers
I lost my power in this world
Cause I did not use it
So I go insane
Like I always do
And I call your name
She's a lot like you

Two kinds of trouble in this world
Livin, dying
I lost my power in this world
And the rumours are flying
So I go insane
Like I always do
And I call your name
She's a lot like you
- Lindsey Buckingham

And last but not least.....I LOVE guys like this:

LOLA, MY LOVE from "Buckingham/Nicks"
Lola, my love
She knows how to treat her man
Lola, my love
She does everything a woman can
When I come home
one thing on my mind
She knows just what I'm lookin' for
and in the morning, after, I said "Lola, you sure can love."
--Lindsey Buckingham
