Meat Loaf Lyrical Tattoos - Page 2

A few lyrics I've been thinking of:

- If my shadow's all that survives—I'm still alive - always loved this lyric!

- This is all of me - although I love this, its still quite new, which makes me wonder if i'll like it as much in the future!

- But there is a border to somewhere waiting, and there is a tankful of time - FCOL is my favorite song!

Although that might be a bit long.

This lyric always stood out to me! However being anti-theist, it'd make me feel a bit mixed up having lyrics with religious stuff in it haha

The best one I have thought of is:

'and the angels had guitars before they even had wings'

Although I see Lucy got there before me!

even though its from a live source:

"There's one word that'll kick fear's ass everytime. and that word is Love." on my back

robgomm · 13 Nov 2011, 20:02

I'll kill you if you don't come back

We gotta make the most of our one night together

Who am I, why am I here? Forget the question someone get me another beer

Heaven can wait

For the girls - Stop right there!

For crying out loud, you know I love you

More than you deserve

Man he doesn't live by rock and roll and brew alone

You can't run away forever

I can see paradise by the dashboard light

Just love me like you love nobody else

I love this! I remember listening to this with a friend a while ago, and she loved it too! Good choice

mtaylor315 · 14 Nov 2011, 15:36

There was so much left to dream
And so much time to make it real

^ Spent over an hour listening to Objects from the Live Around the World release last night, and this lyric wouldn't escape my mind. Reckon this would be a good choice! x

Some suggestions. I think it would be awesome to decorate the lyrics with some music notes! Or a bat!

- Like a Bat Out Of Hell
- Heaven can wait
- (And) if life is just a highway then the soul is just a car.
- (And) there are no lies on your body so take off your dress.
- That's when Rock'n Roll dreams come true.
- We're all livin' on (or: victoms of) the razor's edge

Silver bullets in the jukebox
Spin another round
Everybody at the back of the line
It's midnight at the lost and found

45 seconds of ecstacy
Cuts right through the compelxity
When I feel him/her right next to me
45 seconds of ecstacy

(Castles fall in the sand and we fade in the air
And the) good boys go to heaven, but the bad boys go everywere.

I just need some love, so turn out the lights
I'll be left in the dark again.

great stuff

szakal88 · 14 Nov 2011, 20:47

Maybe something new like "I got one shot to steal this world" and if you're in love you could add next line" "If You wanna go with me You can be my girl"

Yeah it is great stuff, but I don't think it's the best version i've ever heard. I've heard better from that era, and I also think some of the performances from this year were better than that because they have made the best arrangement of it ever with the sax, acoustic guitar and everything.

Daddy told me that his daddy said his daddy said, "Son,
Don't be going down with any bullets left in your gun"

You could use almost any line from It Just Won't Quit :P

"Every saint is a sinner some day."
-Fall From Grace

"You can hide away forever from the storm but you'll never hide away from me."
"I want to wrap myself around you like a Winter skin."
"For the good of the rock and the roll in your heart, for the good of the fire in your soul."
"For the good of the search for heaven on earth, for the good of one hell of a night."
-Bad for Good

"There's a feast waiting for you and you've never even gotten a taste."
"It's later than you think, and a Kiss is a Terrible Thing To Waste."
"Tire tracks and broken hearts, it's all that we're leaving behind."
-A Kiss is a Terrible Thing to Waste

"The thunder is rolling, the sky is black.
It's gotten so dark somehow.
There's gonna be danger, God I wish we were back.
We should have been home by now."
-Home By Now (No Matter What)

"You don't have a lot, but it's all that you got and you can turn it into more than it seems."
"All the seconds go on forever, but the third and the fourth ones are even better."
-Good Girls Go To Heaven (Bad Girls Go Everywhere)

"Life is beautiful because of you."
-Because of You

Some good ideas here
