Favourite Lana Lyrics

[norwegianwoodland 256]

A few of my favorites...

 

 

He knows that I be looking to die, 

He says "Baby pay respect to the high"

-Hundred Dollar Bill

 

I love this lyric, I relate to it 

 

also...

 

Late at night, lady on the side

Call me late if you wanna get high

You and I, laying in Versailles

You and I get to know one another

-Your Girl 

(But we don't have the full leak yet   .....soooooo)

[CrazySister 2,239]

Some of my favorites lyrics are:

Born to Die:

"Come take a walk on the wild side

Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane"

 

Ride:

"I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy
I'm tired of driving 'til I see stars in my eyes
It's all I've got to keep myself sane, baby
So I just ride, I just ride"

 

All You Need:

"You have the choice

To hear the noise
Or hear the sweet sound
Of your sweet voice
I know I've heard it
I heard it in my sleep"

 

Caught You Boy:

"Thunder in the air, trouble on my mind

Hold me in the dark, kiss it all behind
Baby don't be scared, come on honey smile
Everything is fine now, everything is fine"

 

You're Gonna Love Me:

"You say that you don’t want to be hypnotized,

But baby I, I don’t want to hypnotize you.
There’s nothing from you that I want to take.
I just want to be like you.
(Maybe love you just a little bit),
Please."

 

Get Drunk:

"Cigarettes and robitussin, will i ever get to heaven?

It's not looking good now"

 

God Knows I Tried:

"Put on that Hotel California

Dance around like I'm insane
I feel free when I see no one
And nobody knows my name"

 

"On Monday they destroyed me

But by Friday I'm revived"

 

Children of The Bad Revolution:

"Where the bad boys blow smoke

Just like they're James Dean
And the it girls blow kisses
Just like Marilyn"

 

"Run for our lives

They got all our chains
Let's hope that we merge
Create our own games
DJ's, rock stars, posers we are
The new politicians
They're celebrity editions
And it's so pornographic then it's tragic
Nothing magic makes us free
To be what we wanna be, wanna be"

 

Body Electric:

"Elvis is my daddy, Marilyn’s my mother,

Jesus is my bestest friend"

 

"Mary prays the rosary for my broken mind (I said don't worry about it)"

 

"Whitman is my daddy, Monaco’s my mother,

Diamonds are my bestest friend.
Heaven is my baby, suicide’s her father,
Opulence is the end"

 

"I pretend I’m not hurt

And go about the world like I’m havin’ fun"

 

"Mary's swayin' softly to her heart's delight"

 

Dum Dum:

"Once you've had a taste of living my way

You’ll be forever changed"

 

"I know I had a lot

But babe I want a little more
Dum dum
Want a little more, dum dum"

 

And I just can't choose a favorite from Gods and Monsters, Cruel World, Driving In Cars With Boys and others   . I loved this thread, I will def come back and post more. 

[sadgirl69 114]

I love the lines in OW.

 

"He says he loves me, I don't believe him. If I'm so angry why don't leave him?", I also really love the way she says "I Don't Want Him" while repeating "Other Woman", pointed out by @

 

Other Woman is gold. "chase that hi-i-igh" so cute

[forever angels 151]

Born To Die

"Feet don’t fail me now

Take me to the finish line

Oh my heart it breaks every step that I take

But I’m hoping at the gates,

They’ll tell me that you’re mine"

 

Old Money

"Where have you been? Where did you go?

Those summer nights seem long ago,

And so is the girl you used to call,

The Queen of New York City."

 

Shades of Cool

"But I can't fix him, can't make him better

And I can't do nothing about this strange weather.

But you are invincible

I can't break through your world

'Cause you live in shades of cool

Your heart is unbreakable"

 

Without You

"Everything I want I have:

Money, notoriety and rivieras.

I even think I found God

In the flash bulbs of the pretty cameras"

 

The Blackest Day

"It's not one of those phases I'm going through

Or just a song, it's not one of them

I'm on my own

On my own

On my own again

I'm on my own again"

 

This part always break my heart 

[trayertrash 7,211]

Blizzard

i got tired and ended up in some lame department store

And that's okay cause I found a really cool belt

 

Noir

she's hot and she's cold

and she's cool and she's bold and

she's full of rage like me and I like the game yo

[writtenxrabbits 905]

Pretty much all the lyrics from Pawn Shop Blues. It's seems so personal and desperate, and I love the little details like the "gold and made of flowers dangling." I sorta love that with such detailed, tight lyrics in the verses, the chorus is basically just "Oh no, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh."

 

Well, I didn't know it would come to this but

That's what happens when you're on your own

And you're alright with letting nice things go

 

Well, I pawned the earrings that you gave me

Gold and made of flowers dangling

And I almost cried as I sold them all

And I don't mind living on bread and oranges, no, no

But I got to get to and from where I come

And it's gonna take money to go

 

In the name of higher consciousness

I let the best man I knew go

Cause it's nice to love and be loved

But it's better to know all you can know

I said it's nice to love and be loved

But I'd rather know what God knows

 

I can't do this once more

No man can keep me together

Been broken since I was born

I sincerely thought I was the only one appreciating Pawn Shop Blues lyrically to this crazy point

It's so different yet so truthful

[Dominikx4 25,413]

My favorite lyrics include:

 

Radio

Now my life is sweet like cinnamon,
like a fucking dream I'm living in
 

Is This Happiness

Witch Hazel, Witch Hazel
Betrayal, Betrayal,
One gun on the table
headshot if you're able

 

Gods & Monsters

When you talk it's like a movie and you're making me crazy
'cause life imitates art
if I get a little prettier can I be your baby?

You tell me life isn't that hard

 

Honeymoon

There are violets in your eyes
There are guns that blaze around you
There are roses inbetween my thighs
Fire that surrounds you

 

Pretty When You Cry

Don't say you need me when
you leave and you leave again
I'm stronger than all my men
Except for you
Don't say you need me if
you leave last, you're leaving
I can't do it, I can't do it, 

but you do it best

 

Fine China

Fine China and fresh linen

all my dresses with them tags still on them
Fine China and dull silver
My white horses and ivory almonds
I guess they really got the best uf us, didn't they?

They said that love was enough but it wasn't

The earth shattered, the sky opened

The rain was fire but we were wooden

 

Butterflies Pt. 2

My baby has an eye for pretty things, pretty things
He thinks that little girls are butterflies and cuts their wings
Sicko, psycho, sicko, but he's my beau
Puts them on a roller coaster, lures them in with Coca Cola!

[missdelreyxo 3,786]

for k pt1

K's a friend of mine

I think about him as he does time

Miss his white wine

Funny I don't feel free

Even though it's not me

 

bad disease

There's some reason why I can't sit still

Every waking moment I feel so unfulfilled

I try to lie down, but I don't know how

Baby, when I'm sleeping, if it's less like I am dreaming

 

out with a bang

Smiles from the stranger, seem to change a day when

You were just about to go and throw your towel in

Lately I've been thinking about making changes

It's been on my mind for some time and I'm anxious

 

pretty baby

Darling, honey, if you don't think that you're going to want me

Then, honey, let me know

Listen, honey, I don't want to keep thinking you love me

Just to find out you don't

 

find my own way

I don't need anybody when I'm down

I don't really find it hard to get around

I'll find my own way back to town

Oh, no, you tell me how I need to be

That ain't up to anybody else but me

I don't care what you think

[californianfreak 3,484]

It's you, it's you, it's all for you, everything I do...
 
So simple, yet it still gets me every single time

[American Bottom 16,229]

Ultraviolence

He hurt me but it felt like true love (I relate heavily)

 

Shades of cool

And when he calls, he calls for me and not for you (sassy Lana)

 

Freak

Your Halo's full of fire (I love how this depicts him as like a fallen angel)

 

Velvet Crowbar

I was addicted to you, didn't wanna blow it (liking someone but not knowing If they feel the same)

 

Flipside

Are you gonna hurt me now, or are you Gonna Hurt me later (THE FEELS)

 

Yes To Heaven

If You dance ill dance, and if you don't ill dance anyway (not needing a mans to be happy. )

 

And lastly.... God Knows I Tried

On Monday they destroyed me, but by Friday I'm revived (this line hit me, and it did not feel like a kiss)

[knoxavel 938]

IS THIS HAPPINESS?

 

Witch Hazel, Witch Hazel
Betrayal, betrayal
One gun on the table
Headshot if you're able

[Masochism 15,400]

IS THIS HAPPINESS?

 

Witch Hazel, Witch Hazel

[Masochism 15,400]

IS THIS HAPPINESS is just really heavy. it really gives me life.

my fav song on the delxues of UV. 

[nationalxanthem 1,308]

My Best Days

Even my best days without you

Were nothing in comparison to my worst days

Once I had found you

Once I had you

I had everything

 

On Our Way

Spin me ’round, kiss me in your Chevrolet.

I love you more with each and everyday.

Top down, gonna make a getaway, top down.

Spin me ’round, kiss me in your Chevrolet.

You found me when I had lost my way.

as well as...

Why, did I think too much?

You tell me not to worry

Because you’re the boss.

 

Junky Pride

You have this way of making me

Say the opposite of everything I mean
I kiss you, I hug you
But I could not feel less connected from you
I know I wanted all this in the beginning, I really tried
I know I caught you at a not-so-happy time of your life
My dreams are bigger than your junkie pride

 

So many of her unreleased songs are lyrically gold 

[writtenxrabbits 905]

bad disease

There's some reason why I can't sit still

Every waking moment I feel so unfulfilled

I try to lie down, but I don't know how

Baby, when I'm sleeping, if it's less like I am dreaming

 

I fucking love the line "Every waking moment I feel so unfulfilled." I always forget about Bad Disease, but it's such a damn good song.

[cashcomesquick 5,381]

IS THIS HAPPINESS?

 

Witch Hazel, Witch Hazel

Betrayal, betrayal

One gun on the table

Headshot if you're able

 

The entire song is beautiful

[CrazySister 2,239]

Ultraviolence:

"He hit me and it felt like a kiss"

 

"Blessed is this, this union

Crying tears of gold, like lemonade"

 

"Yo soy la princesa, comprende mis white lines"

 

"Cause I was filled with poison

But blessed with beauty and rage"

 

Sad Girl:

"Watch what you say to me

Careful who you're talking to

I'm on fire, baby"

 

Freak:

"Flames so hot that they turn blue"

 

This Is What Makes Us Girls:

"The prettiest in crowd that you had ever seen

Ribbons in our hair and our eyes gleamed mean

A freshmen generation of degenerate beauty queens"

 

Video Games:

The whole lyric actually  . But I truly love the chorus:

"It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby, now you do"

Looks like love in the most purest and beautiful form 

Backfire:

The whole lyric too.   But especially:

"I know very well you're bringing me down
I will follow, I will follow
For a little piece of heaven

I am ready, I am willing to drown" 

[The Greatest 8,805]

The first time I ever read the fine china leaked lyrics, I honestly teared up a little bit. They're so beautiful and really feel genuine. That last line "the rain was fire but we were wooden" is such a haunting metaphor.
