I have so many! But so I don't steal them all straight away and make this post over stay its welcome here's a few of my firm favourites.

"Heal the world

Make it a better place

For you and for me, and the entire human race

There are people dying

If you care enough for the living

Make a better place for you and for me"

- Heal The World by Michael Jackson.

"Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes

(Turn and face the stranger)

Ch-ch-Changes

Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes

(Turn and face the stranger)

Ch-ch-Changes

Pretty soon you're gonna get a little older

Time may change me

But I can't trace time

I said that time may change me

But I can't trace time"

- Changes by the legendary David Bowie.

"Imagine there's no heaven

It's easy if you try

No hell below us

Above us, only sky"

"Imagine there's no countries

It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion, too"

"Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man"

'You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will live as one"

All from Imagine by John Lennon. 

One of my most favourite songs and lyrics by John Lennon there. I love the "you may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one..."

All of the above were fabulous and lyrical geniuses in their own way.

  • I like this one by the Beatles "Let It Be"

    "When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

    And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

    Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

    Whisper words of wisdom, let it be"

  • last one

    So, if you love me, let me go
    And run away before I know
    My heart is just too dark to care
    I can't destroy what isn't there
    Deliver me into my fate
    If I'm alone I cannot hate
    I don't deserve to have you
    Ooh, my smile was taken long ago
    If I can change I hope I never know

  • Now im on a roll. 

    Marylin Manson

    Take your hatred out on me. Make your victim my head. 

    You'll never ever believe in me. I am your tourniquet. 

  • Also Korn

    Hit me cause im strange, hate me. 

    Tell me im a *** and youre harder than me

  • My favourite lyric ever is

    Suicide is a tried and tested formula for release. 

    I write that out for 20 minutes every day. I have books filled with it. It helps me to remember that there is an escape route. 

  • Beyonce - Running 

    This song is stunning and so touching

    "If I lose myself I lose it all"

  • "They're taking their time, by force!" (Shot by both sides by Magazine)

    Reflected on that, how my anxiety doesn't allow me to do patience.

  • I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me
    Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

    The song has nothing to do with The Virgin Mary, Paul’s mother had recently passed, She came to him in dreams, her name was Mary.

  • For me its unfortunate...

    .. The more I change the less I enjoy life and don't want to live. Hoping that will change though...

    I love your gnome pic by the way ha keeps making me giggle when I see it Yum

  • I don't think it is unfortunate at all! 

    I realise this now contradicts my first post but I can accept both.

  • That's unfortunate....

    ... So long as I don't become a horrible person though I can live with it..

  • I don't think we ever stop

  • I'm still learning who I am...

    Seems to change a lot with life and what's happening..

    ...Anyone else get this?

  • Oooo I was literally just thinking about making a page like this....

    beat me to it Yum 

    I'm new and an absolutely massive huge fan of The Smiths... like such a big fan I'm like five elephants in one JoyElephant I like Bowie as well though.... But more The Smiths!!!!

    One of my favourite lyrics is ......

    Surprisingly not from a Smiths song but from Brian May/Queen "Too Much Love Will Kill You" Yum 

    This one here really resonates with me 

    "I feel like no one ever told the truth to me

    About growing up and what a struggle it would be

    In my tangled state of mind

    I've been looking back to find

    Where I went wrong"

    I feel like it could have been written for me ya' know? When I was still a little girl all carefree and innocent I didn't think growing up would a struggle.....

    I want to be a kid again Joy life was easy, I miss it.

  • In have lots of favourite lyrics but I feel like Metallica’s The Unforgiven was written about me:

    New blood joins this earth,
    And quickly he's subdued.
    Through constant pained disgrace
    The young boy learns their rules.

    With time the child draws in.
    This whipping boy done wrong.
    Deprived of all his thoughts
    The young man struggles on and on he's known
    A vow unto his own,
    That never from this day
    His will they'll take away.

    What I've felt,
    What I've known
    Never shined through in what I've shown.
    Never be.
    Never see.
    Won't see what might have been.

    What I've felt,
    What I've known
    Never shined through in what I've shown.
    Never free.
    Never me.
    So I dub thee unforgiven.

    They dedicate their lives
    To running all of his.
    He tries to please them all –
    This bitter man he is.

    Throughout his life the same –
    He's battled constantly.
    This fight he cannot win –
    A tired man they see no longer cares.

    The old man then prepares
    To die regretfully –
    That old man here is me.

  • "Man In The Mirror"

    "I'm gonna make a change
    For once in my life
    It's gonna feel real good
    Gonna make a difference
    Gonna make it right

    As I turn up the collar on
    My favorite winter coat
    This wind is blowing my mind
    I see the kids in the street
    With not enough to eat
    Who am I to be blind
    Pretending not to see their needs?

    A summer's disregard
    A broken bottle top
    And one man's soul
    They follow each other on the wind you know
    'Cause they got nowhere to go
    That's why I want you to know

    I'm starting with the man in the mirror
    I'm asking him to change his ways
    And no message could have been any clearer
    If you wanna make the world a better place
    Take a look at yourself and then make a change"

    I like music, I listen to it every day as soon as I'm awake. Here's some of my favourite singers and bands.

    I like lots of different music. I like Queen, Avril Lavigne, The Corrs, David Bowie, A-Ha, Oasis, Taylor Swift, Paul Young, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, Tom Petty, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, Prince, Abba, Simon and Garfunkel, Dire Straits, Elton John, Texas, George Michael, Shakin Stevens, Morrissey and many others.
  • This is from Visiting Hours by Ed Sheeran.

    "I wish that heaven had visiting hours

    And I would ask them if I could take you home

    But I know what they'd say, that it's for the best

    So I will live life the way you taught me, and make it on my own"
