Your favourite line in a Madonna song....


johnnox

Recommended Posts

What's your favourite line in a Madonna song? Dunno why, but these are some of my favourites....

(Open Your Heart 12" version) 'Well, do you wanna go out with me or not? What's the matter, scared me or something?'

(Waiting) 'And the next time you want pussy, just look in the mirror baby.'

(Drowned World) 'No one-night stand, no far-off land, No fire that I can spark'

Just watch me burn. (Let It Will Be)

Too much of no sound, uncomfortable silence can be so loud. (Miles Away)

A man can tell a thousand lies, I learned my lesson well. (Live to Tell)

Words are useless, espacially sentences, they don't stand for anything, how could they explain how I feel? :dramatic: (Bedtime Story)

"Today is the last day that I'm using words

They've gone out, lost their meaning

Don't function anymore" :wow:

"Mirror, mirror on the wall

Who's the baddest of them all?" :dramatic:

"When the lights go down and there's no one left

I can go on and on and on" :wow:

"I'm not religious, but i feel so moved, makes me wanna pray, pray you'll always be here"

And no kidding, i simply adore adore that line "And i know i can feel bad when i get in the bad mood and the world can look so sad, only you make me feel good". I know people think is one of her worst, but its simplicity is really touching, as we talk when we are really in need of somebody, as if the inner child were speaking. I don't know how to explain.

AND HER BEST: "Guess I'm waiting for my place in your sun,

Wish I had the chance to know you and it wasn't stormy weather.

What a shame, who's to blame?"

"What happened? What do I remind you of? Your past, your dreams, or some part of yourself that you just can't love?"

"Please don't try to tempt me, it was just greed and it won't protect me"

"I want the good life but I don't want an easy ride"

"It's here in your arms I want to be buried, you are my sanctuary"

ONLY WHEN IM DANCIN' CAN I FEEL THIS FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

YOU CAN'T STOP ME NOW, I'M RIGHT AND IM MAKING ADVANCES.

YOU HAVE. I LACK. WE FADE. TO BLACK. YOUR MOOD. I TAKE. YOU WIN. CHECKMATE. WE'RE ALL SICK BUT WE JUST CAN'T SEE IT. CALL IT A CHICK BECAUSE WE DON'T WANNA BE IT. TRY TO BREAK THROUGH ALL OF YOUR DEFENCES. HOW WILL IT FEEL TO LET GO OF ALL OF YOUR SENSES? DON'T FORGET TO ASK HIM HIS NAME. IF YOU KNOW WHAT I KNEW, YOU WOULD BE DOING THE SAME. AMBIGUITY DOES US NO GOOD. I WANT EVERYTHING TO BE...UNDERSTOOD.

NOTHING, TAKES THE PAST AWAY...LIKE THE FUTURE. NOTHING, MAKES THE DARKNESS GO...LIKE THE LIGHT. YOU'RE SHELTER FROM THE STORM. GIVE ME COMFORT, IN YOUR ARMS. NOTHING REALLY MATTERS. LOVE IS ALL WE NEED. EVERYTHING I GIVE YOU. ALL. COMES. BACK. TO...ME.

KISS ME I'M DIEING. TOUCH ME, I'M TRYING. PUT YOUR HAND ON MY SKIN.

I'M GONNA WAKE UP, YES AND NO. I'M GONNA KISS SOME PART OF...I'M GONNA KEEP THIS SECRET. I'M GONNA CLOSE MY BODY NOW. I'M GONNA BREAK THE CYCLE. I'M GONNA SHAKE UP THE SYSTEM. I'M GONNA DE-STROY MY E-GO. I'M GONNA CLOSE MY BODY NOW.

STRIKE A POSE. STRIKE A POSE. IF ALL ELSE FAILS AND YOU LONG TO BE SOMETHING BETTER THAN YOU ARE TODAY, I KNOW A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN GET AWAY...IT'S CALLED THE DANCEFLOOR AND HERE'S WHAT IT'S FOR; SO COME ON...VOGUE! LET YOUR BODY MOVE TO THE MUSIC. (HEY, HEY, HEY!!!)

SPEAK. DON'T. SAY. FORGIVE ME. DON'T. SAY. YOU'RE SORRY. I...CAN'T TAKE IT, ANYMORE. CAN'T TAKE IT. CAN'T TAKE IT. CAN'T TAKE IT. ANYMORE. I'VE LISTENED TO YOUR LIES...AND ALL YOUR STORIES. AND I (AND I) CAN'T TAKE IT. ANYMORE. CAN'T TAKE IT. CAN'T TAKE IT. CAN'T TAKE IT. CAN'T TAKE IT. ANYMORE. DON'T SAY FORGIVE ME. I HEARD IT ALL BEFORE. DON'T SAY YOU'RE SORRY. I'VE SEEN IT ALL BEFORE. AND I (AND I) I'VE HEARD IT. ALL BEFORE. DON'T. TALK. DON'T. SPEAK. DON'T. (SORRY) TALK. DON'T. (SORRY) SPEAK. DON'T. (SORRY) TALK. DON'T. (SORRY) SPEAK.

JUST TAKE MY HAND. JUST TAKE MY HAND. JUST TAKE MY HAND. JUST TAKE MY HAND. JUST TAKE MY HAND. JUST TAKE MY HAND. JUST TAKE MY HAND. JUST TAKE MY HAND. JUST TAKE MY HAND. JUST TAKE MY HAND. JUST TAKE MY HAND. JUST TAKE MY HAND. I CAN MAKE IT ALONE. I CAN MAKE IT ALONE. I CAN MAKE IT ALONE. I CAN MAKE IT ALONE. JUST TAKE MY HAND.

NOW. I CAN SEE THINGS FOR WHAT THEY...REALLY ARE. REALLY ARE. REALLY ARE. REALLY ARE. REALLY ARE. JUST. NO RETURN. JUST. NO RETURN. JUST. NO RETURN. JUST. NO RETURN. JUST WATCH ME BURN...YOU GOT TO LET IT BE. WON'T YOU LET IT BE? YOU GOT TO LET IT BE. YEAH.

As you may have guessed, I really love songs in which certain licks/lyrics are repeatedly used. I love her voice sounding really unhumanly and kind of ultra mega powerful. That's what you want God to sound like right?

Here are just a few I like. I am sure there are more but these are some of my favorites.

Nothing Fails:

It was not a chance meeting

Feel my heart beating

You're the one...

Nothing Really Matters:

Nothing really matters

Love is all we need

Everything I give you

All comes back to me.

Intervention:

I know the road looks lonely

But that's just Satan's game

And either way my baby

We'll never be the same

The Power Of Good-Bye:

There's nothing left to lose

There's no more heart to bruise

There's no greater power than the power of good-bye

Erotica:

Erotica, romance I'd like to put you in a trance.

How did I leave this one out?!!!

IF I TAKE YOU FROM BEHIND, PUSH MYSELF INTO YOUR MIND. WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. WOULD YOU TRY TO REJECT IT? GIVE IT UP. DO AS I SAY. GIVE IT UP AND LET ME HAVE MY WAY. I'LL GIVE YOU LOVE. I'LL HIT YOU LIKE A TRUCK. I'LL GIVE YOU LOVE I'LL TEACH YOU HOW TO. (AAAAAAH)

There are so many but ill pick one....

Easy Ride

What I want is to live forever

Not defined by time and space

It's a lonely place

That's what I want

And it has more to do with the way she sings it also. I can hear the longing and fear in her voice. I dont know. Always gave me chills.

Like a child you whisper softly to me

You're in control just like a child

Now I'm dancing

-Like A Prayer

You could take all this, take it away

I'd still have it all

'Cause I've climbed the tree of life

And that is why, no longer scared if I fall

-Nothing Fails

I know there's bound to be some hard times ahead

I'd be a fool to believe

But if you go I'd rather think of dying instead

I never want you to leave

-Stay

No famous faces, far off places

Trinkets I can buy

No handsome stranger, heady danger

Drug that I can try

No ferris wheel, no heart to steal

No laughter in the dark

No one night stand, no far off land

No fire that I can spark

-Drowned World/Substitute for Love

Love all of the above. Also...

These are my arms

But they don't know tenderness

And I must confess

That I am usually drawn to sadness

And loneliness has never been a stranger

To me

Love tried to welcome me

But my soul drew back...

These are my lips

But they whisper sorrow

This is my voice

But it's telling lies

I know how to laugh

But I don't know happiness

And I must confess...

-Love Tried to Welcome Me

I've been so high

I've been so down

Up to the skies

Down to the ground...

I was so blind

I could not see

Your paradise

Is not for me. ...

There is a light

Above my head...

-Paradise (Not for Me)

Don't tell me to stop

Tell the rain not to drop

Tell the wind not to blow

'Cause you said so... mmm...mmm...

Tell me love isn't true

It's just somethin' that we do

Tell me everything I'm not but

Don't ever tell me stop... (Don't you ever...)

-Don't Tell Me

I also like the simplicity of "And I know that love will change us forever / And I know that love will keep us together..." from "Intervention." And all of the verses on "What It Feels Like for a Girl" are strong.

Oh there's so much more...

"Poor is the man

Whose pleasures depend

On the permission of another"

"I've been so high

I've been so down

Up to the skies

Down to the ground

There is a light

Above my head

Into your eyes

My face remains"

"Staring up into the heavens

In this hell that binds your hands

Will you sacrifice your comfort?

Make your way in a foreign land?

Wrestle with your darkness

Angels call your name

Can you hear what they are saying?

Will you ever be the same?

Remember remember and never forget

All of your life has all been a test

You will find the gate that's open

Even though your spirit's broken

Open up my heart

And cause my lips to speak

Bring the heaven and the stars

Down to earth for me"
