Favourite Line from a Green Day Song

[Teenage Kicks!]

I love the "ha ha ha at your family" and the attitude with which he sings it!

... and Song of My Returning ...

Yes! That is my favorite part. I also love when it switches and Jason sings, "Our friends will be surprised to see me smiling on you."

My brother heard the change before I did.

I haven't heard that one.

[sarita]

Ooh, At Your Funeral! I love that song.

[DeJennsitized]

Just thought of one, "marching out of time, to my own beat now" from Minority. I like the way it's metaphorical to fit in with the parade theme of the song, but it also means being different from the majority; being yourself.

I found out the lyrics to Kathleen not long ago, after listening to it for like a year. I found them to be quite funny, especially the last verse;

"And we could have some kids, if we're lucky they'll be gay

And we could be proud parents in the pride parade

I swear I almost cry every year when they go by

If I'd only been a girl instead of a guy"

[Jack96]

The whole of When I Come Around

GI Joe and panty hos

Making room for the one and only.

King 4 A Day!

Princees By Dawn

King 4 A Day!

In a Leather Thong.

My eyes feel like theyre gonna bleed

Dried Up And Bulging out my skull

Mouth is dry

Face is numb

Fucked up and spun out in my room.

On My Own here we go.

[veronica_cy]

I'll send a letter to that girl asking her to be my own

But my pen is writing wrong so I'll say it in a song

-Dry Ice-

Our romance is a love trance

And now we'll never part

1000 hours of such a love shower

We'll never stop once we start

-1000 Hours-

Sweet

Thats's my favorite part of that song! The "ha ha ha at your family" that is. The way he sings it is just awesomeness

There's no doubt about it - Billie Joe Armstrong knows how to use his voice perfectly in every song. Sometimes he sounds like a little brat; sometimes he sounds like a sleazy, boozed up, weak-willed scumbag (but still irresistible); sometimes he sounds so plaintive and sweet; then he can sound incredibly sexy (as we all know); evil; adorable; kooky; sick & twisted; wasted; sad; reckless & carefree ... you name it, he can do it!

I love the way he laughs at the end of Highway 1, and for a lyric, how about this one:

I'll tell you why

Whooo!

Alright!

From Right Hand-A-Rama and TOTALLY MADE by the way he sings it!

That is such a perfect description of Billie Joe I love it!

Now how about this from Shenanigans:

"Ha ha you're dead, the joke is over

You were an asshole and now you're gone

As your ship is going down

I'll stand by and watch you drown

Ha ha you're dead"

Gotta love 'em!

[Hermione]

That is such a perfect description of Billie Joe I love it!

I'd just like to second that. A wonderful way to descibe a wonderful voice

Today, I love this. So sweet

"Open the past and present and the future too

It's all I've got and I'm giving it to you"

Also, Bab's Uvula Who?

"I've got a knack for fucking everything up

My temper flies and I get myself all wound up"

In fact make that the whole song. It just screams 'tense and angry' so well, in the lyrics and music. Perfect

Scattered makes me tear up.

And Anything off Insomniac gets my Adrenaline rushing.

"I take a look around

At the things I've found

I call it blind hatered

If you stop for a while and maybe if you smile

You will realize that we're all the same"

GOTTA LOVE THAT. Road to Acceptance.

[Hermione]

Oooh yeah! And this too

"I always waste my time just wondering

What the next man thinks of me

I'll never do exactly what I want

And I'll sculpt my life for your acceptance"

Adore that song

[J'net]

That is such a perfect description of Billie Joe I love it!

Yeah, Billie Joe is all of those things and more. I would call him a chameleon, except he doesn't exactly blend in with his background

Love Ha Ha your dead, too!

Bab's Uvula Who is one of my all time favorites. Something about the tempo and (do I have to say it again?) the way he sings it, makes it so perfect!

I love how he sounds like a little brat in this one, of course!

"Mom and Dad don't look so hot these days

They're getting over the hill.."

[Teenage Kicks!]

"Mom and Dad don't look so hot these days

His brat voice is my favorite.

"I beg to differ on the contrary"

Walking Contradiction!

My mom loves the way he says contrary...when she pointed it out.

I was like, "WOW I love the way he says that too."

[sarita]

and his voice in "Dark Side of Night"

"There's a rain tonight

fallin' from the sky..."

[Hermione]

^Couldn't agree more, I'm addicted to his voice in that song. And oh my, Red Tide....

[sarita]

^Oh my, indeed! Don't you just love it when he sings the main part?

"Is this passion or...

Or your red tide"

[Hermione]

^Mmm hmm, of course. And the sigh right after the main part

[mandypants19]

From Stop Drop and Roll

"Sixteen and a son of a bitch, got a gun and a strychine (hah, sp?) twitch. Little girl on the graveyard shift, outta control and doesn't give a shit! YEAHHH!!!!!"

Also from Stop Drop and Roll "Losing control, break my sanity! YEAHHHHHHH!!!!" I'm not really sure exactly what Billie says at the end of that second quote, but it sounds kinda like he's saying "yeah". Oh, well.

From Broadway

"I....I'm just killing time now, I do it all the time now, and it's killing me. I...I polished the bottle, I'm throwin down the throttle, drinkin gasoline" I'm sure I've posted that before but I just really love that song

[sarita]

^Agree. Broadway is great. I love how he pronounces "bottle"

"You're spilling all the wine now

On Hollywood and Vine now

It's Lushotology"

[Hermione]

From Pieces Of Truth, this is awesome

"Little pieces of sticks

And a bucket of stones"

and

"Diggin' trouble

With a shovel"

I love his choice of words.

Basically, all the lyrics on the album are fantastic, they're so full of energy and pizzazz

[sarita]

From Sally:

"Well come on baby take a chance and get your shit together."

(I always find myself singing that part...)

And from 27th Ave. Shuffle:

"Junkyard days and toxic waste, still love is on my mind."

[Ila Reto]

hah those are probably the most entertaining lines from pieces of truth!

(even though i know the lyrics, from before when i didn't sometimes i still say "little pieces of sex & a bucket of stones" )

from Sally i love the way he says "drop your shadow on a subway wall, back in the shadow we can hear the call"

and even though im not a big fan of Aligator, when he goes "'better get your moving!" it comes out more like "spetta getchea movin!"

lol im a dork!

[Hermione]

and even though im not a big fan of Aligator, when he goes "'better get your moving!" it comes out more like "spetta getchea movin!"

LOL, you're totally right!

Oh and that's my favourite line from Sally too

Even though I used to think it said "Rub your shadow on a subway wall", which would make it an even better lyric in my expert opinion

[hardtoconcentrate]

^Mmm hmm, of course. And the sigh right after the main part

Hell yeah.
