Title: Favorite Goo lyric
Post by johnnysgirl on Apr 29th, 2005, 1:39pm
Since Johnny is the greatest songwriter ever ever ever ever ever, I thought that I would start this thread of what is your favorite Goo lyric.

I have a few:

What do you got to move you darling
~Here is Gone~

You're all I'm not
I don't need what you ain't got
~Big Machine~

What you feel is what you are and what you are is beautiful
~Slide~

Everything's wrong; but it's alright. �Damn right!
~2 Days in February~

And my all-time favorite:
I'll become what you became to me
~Black Balloon~

There's knowledge wrapped in blankets on the streets
~Flat Top~

'Cause fuckin' up takes practice; I feel I'm well-rehearsed
~Only One~

Scars are souveniers you never lose; the past is never far
~Name~

I'm not the one who broke you; I'm not the one you should fear
~Here is Gone~

I have no solution to the sound of this pollution in me, yeah; And I was not the answer so forget you ever thought it was me.
~Here is Gone~ (again)

Oh my....i looooooooooooove all john's lyrics but here r ones that really connect with me....

A thousand words, but none were spoken,
Another dream just got broken,
-A thousand words-

Nothing's real & nothing lasts,
i'm in love but you don't care,
My heart is reeling, i'm blind waiting for you,
Your'e all or not, i don't need what you aint got.
- Big Machine -

Thought i lost you somewhere, but you were never really ever there at all,
Feel you falling, wanted to be all you need, somehow here is gone
-Here is gone -

There's somethin' that I wish I'd said .....
-Ain't that unusual-

I'm sorry i ain't there with u, but u ain't here with me
-2 days in February-

I can't stand without you & i won't find the answers when your gone
- It's over-

Fear makes you fragile, hate is so heavy when your weak,
When where alone we'll find some peace
-What do you need from me- �

Always a risk when you try to believe,
You know all i am, feel this moment in you
-Truth is a Whisper-

Could you whisper in my ear, the things u wanna feel,
Put your arms around me, what you feel is what you are,
what u r is beautiful
-Slide-

Even though the moment passed me by I still can't turn away
-Name-

How could I have been the one?
And I'll become What you became to me
-Black Balloon-

Is there anything to feel?
-Long way down-

I'd give up forever to touch you,
-Iris-

I tried so hard to reach you, But you're falling anyway
-Acoustic#3

Dream away, your'e my sweet charade
-Hate this place-

This list will go on forever if i don't stop now................ ;)
lol

anything from Black Balloon, my favorite being:

What's the things they never showed you
That swallowed the light from the sun inside your room

it's enough to make you weep. . .

and from Robby:

Everytime you point your finger
Three more point right back at you

. . . ;D

:) I was getting all emotional last night listening to NAME, especially at the parts when John sings,

And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
Letters that you never meant to send
Get lost or thrown away..........
I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same,
It's lonely where you are come back down
And I won't tell em your name

This song just bought memories of feelings that haunt me sometimes...

Also, i was on a high listening to Long way down...lol

Absolute favourite would be: Don't stop lookin' for that light along the way from Up Up Up

Others that I like...

I was not the answer so forget you ever thought it was me - Here is Gone

Was a time I felt like dying, now I'm glad that time is gone, cause tonight we're gonna live forever - Stand Alone

Post by SassyMay on May 1st, 2005, 3:47pm
"what's the point in all this screaming?No one's listening anyway.."
~Acoustic #3~  
that sentence just really gets to me,it's a long story i never wanna tell.
Title: Re: Favorite Goo lyric
Post by RogueUK on May 1st, 2005, 3:48pm
It was a demo track for A Boy Named Goo, written by their old drummer George and sung by Robby - the Goos removed it from the album to replace it with the covers 'Disconnected' and 'Slave Girl' after George left...didn't want any legal hassle I guess...but it appeared on demo versions of the ABNG album and it's a beautiful song.

If you tell me your mail addy I can send it to you  :D
Title: Re: Favorite Goo lyric
Post by Dream of Goo on May 1st, 2005, 4:06pm

that's impossible for me to do so here's all of my favorite Goo lyrics:

I saw the dreams you never thought you�d lose
Get tossed along the way

And don�t it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are
-Name


What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful

Slide between them sheets of all those beds you never knew
Slide into my room
And I will run away, run away, run away
-Slide


You pray to statues when you�re sobered up for fun
-Broadway


A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one

And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
-Black Balloon


Nothing hurts when no one�s real
-Bulletproof


Was the poison in our blood there all along

Heavenly intoxication
Love�s been marked by medication
-Amigone


All eyes on me
But your eyes look away
It�s so hard to be someone who�s strung out from today
And all that you knew slip away
-All Eyes On Me


And I tried so hard to reach you
But you�re falling anyway
And you know I see right through you
Cuz the world gets in your way
What�s the point in all this screaming
You�re not listening anyway
-Acoustic #3


Pretty much the whole "Iris" song


You take all your lies
And wish them all away

Yea, I can take your lies
Until you fall away

You know I�m lost
Hiding in your bed
-Hate This Place


I�m in love but you don�t care

Love, and sex, and loneliness [i love how he accentuates "sex"]
Take what�s yours and leave the rest
So I�ll survive
God, it�s good to be alive

You're all or not, I don't need what you ain't got
-Big Machine


And friction is the only way you�re dealin
You turn your pretty head if it gets real

And all you want is something I can�t be

And all you want from me is what you need
-Think About Me


pretty much all of the lyrics to �Here Is Gone�


Saccharine, caffeine, nicotine, gum
Ah, it taste�s sweet but it's not for long

Lies weigh more than truth
Innocence looks good on you
Now everybody wants to know your name
-What A Scene


Who the hell did I think I was?

And I�m not sure where I belong
Nowhere�s home and I�m all wrong

And I wasn�t all the things I tried to make believe I was
And I wouldn�t be the one to kneel before the dreams I wanted
And all the talk, and all the lies
Were all the empty things disguised as me
-Sympathy


Hate is so heavy when you're weak
-What Do You Need


Who�s the one you answer to
Do you listen when he speaks
Or is everything for you
-Truth Is A Whisper


You�re making me fall down
I�m fallin down again
I wish you could fall down
Can ya catch me darling

Do you see what you do to me
You ain't got time for it now
-Fallin Down


And if I had an hour glass
I�d save the grains of time I spent with you
-Lucky Star

I lie in my bed
You're runnin through my head
Goin over and over and over the things that you said
I'm caught in the trap
I run like hell right back to you
Cuz it's over with you
And ya know if it's drinkin alone
I say I feel like I�ve been offed and, boy,
And I may never be the same again
-Girl Right Next To Me


pretty much all the lyrics to "Stop The World"

He asked what was wrong with me
He said I look like a Hollywood girl
I said that Hollywood can fall in the ocean, man,
Cuz it�s the ugliest place in the whole wide world
-On The Lie

See my sig for my favorite lyrics in Cuz You're Gone. i really like all of the lyrics but those will do for absolute.

lol...sry i couldn't be more precise about which are my absolute fav.

- What A Scene -
Cuz lies weight more than truth
Innocents looks good on you
Now everybody wants to know your name

- Iris -
I'd give up forever to touch you
Cuz I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
