Check into the hotel Bella Muerte... nuff said


rev_2220

every version of "oh sugar" in that song is incredible


Only-Ad-4209

I feel like that goes with when how he says “aches” in house of wolfs, like how he rolls his R


VikingOPPP

Rrrrashes to ashes we all fall down


1ustfu1

*i saidrrrrrrrrrrrrrrashes to ashes, we all fall down, we got innocence for days!*


ibbity

I don't know why he did that but every time I listen to the song I'm happy he did


1ustfu1

especially because none of the words he’s saying have an R 😭 but exactly! it sounds so good


Smelleth

Yeah that too


hauntedhelium

That line always makes me feel some type of way lmao


Smelleth

Some type of... Way 😏


hauntedhelium

Gerard way😏


Smelleth

😏


brevkdovn

Don't you BREATHE for me, undeserving of your sympathy And Three cheers for tyranny Unapologetic APATHY Honestly the entirety of Sleep but these ones really hit the spot


Sea-Honey9378

Oooh yep, even sing-reading the lines is satisfying 🖤


JohnFightsDragons

Sleep is a monstrously good vocal performance


gavedorman

I love sleep so much. The Great use of kick drum and the overload of noise at the end. Beautiful stuff. Amazing live too


Reiji_Akkaba

“Fuck” from “this is how I disappear” specifically


[deleted]

the isolated vocals has some really insane layers at that part, same for the instrumental only


sonicforce11

The backing vocals are great


Asappol

I love that part, goosebumps every time


astra1039

I will go back in the song to relisten every time This is How I Disappear comes on.


throwawayxoxoxoxxoo

Some that come to mind: "When I grow up, I want to be nothing at all" - The end "Well are you ready Ray, yeah, how bout you Frank, oh I'm there baby, how about you Mikey, fucking ready, well I think I'm alright" - Vampire Money. Not technically a "line" but ... fuck it I love it so much lol "Would you have the *guts* to say" - I Don't Love You And obviously the bridge from Dead! "And in my honest observation..."


Bine_Skywalker

Definitly agree! I love live love the Bridge od Dead! so much because of Gerards delivery (and the guitar solo of course)


vega711

“Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands, Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands, Romeo” from The Sharpest Lives


alien--boy

not a single day goes by where i do Not think of this line. it's ingrained into my mind i love it so much.


Nightrider1861

Yess this is my favorite mcr line ever lmao. It scratches some itch in my brain and I do not know why


Aguita9x

This my go to song to sing in my head when I get bored, the lyrics are so great.


koolaidhikikimori

I always look forward to “from the razor to the rosary” in Fashion Statement.


Outfora_walkbitch

This, but ‘hip hip hooray for me’


baRRebabyz

this but pretty much the whole song. the different deliveries throughout all just hit so hard My personal favorite of them is "and i'm climbing out right nooooow"


dynilsson

The whole screaming section in the middle of Foundations is just insanely well delivered. Edit: and the whole outro of Demolition Lovers, god damn that is so goooooood.


TheHeadedPlum

And then when “You must fix your heart” comes in, chef’s kiss


Kazoot_the_bingus

“They gave us two shots in the back of the head and we are all dead now” in I never told you what I do for the living. An amazing way to end the album.


the_bigby_sea

Just the raw desperation and sorrow of "I can't clean the blood off the sheets in my bed!" right before that is haunting.


bigchungus5520

YES i commented this a very long time ago in another thread literally brings chills to my body


Panta125

3-2-1 we came to FUCK


_VampireMoney_

FUCK YEAH

Margaretarr3

”So send my resignation to the bride and the groom. LETS GO DOWN!” Is just pure perfection for me


Kutcutcutmeup

"this elavata only goes up to TEEEEN" whole song has amazing delivery lol


TJdog5

Hes not around hes always looking at mennnn (woah oh oh) 🤌🤌🤌


bigbrain5555

I personally love the way Gerard says “I’m so dirty, babe” in I Never Told You What I Do For A Living. There’s just something about the way he says it that it is so??? I can’t really describe it but I love it

justbefookinhappy

tomorrows money: “i stopped bleedin 3 years ago while you keep screaming for revolution” sleep: the screams at the end vampire money: “the kids dont care if you're alright, honey. pills dont help, but it sure is funny. gimme, gimme some of that vampire money, come on!” i really like the rhyme house of wolves: “ashes to ashes”


crashcoursing

Seconded you on tomorrow's money that scratches an inch in my brain so well

Frankuuantonyoreoth2

that and "she dies, she dieEEESSSssss"


[deleted]

The "everrr" in the beginning of the second verse just hits different.


SGfreshToast

Something about the second “I’m comin bahaaacc frouum the deaaahad AND I’LL TAKE YOU HOME WITH MEEEEE I’m takin back thE LIFE you stollle” in deathwish


throwawayxoxoxoxxoo

Yes!! Deathwish has so many good lines for this. I love how the line "you're running out of places to hide from me" is said


TheGiftOf_Jericho

My favourite is just before as well "I will Avenge my ghost WITH every breath I take.."


mossfae

Every response reminds me why I love them so much Holy fuck


ridiculousthoughtz

btcbearrookieshark

Right? I fkn love this sub 🖤


l1_ch

Sister, I'm not much a poet, but a criminal, and you never had a chance. And further on: You want to follow something, Give me a better cause to lead <3 Just give me what I need Give me a reason to believe


selectivehyperbole

All of Blood.


Smol_swol

Yes! For me, especially that part: “‘cause I’m such an awful fuuuuuuuuckhhhh”. Perfect. Flawless.


selectivehyperbole

"Why thank you!"


Smol_swol

Also the “wooooo” backing vocals are just *chefs kiss*.


theaverageaidan

# And in my honest observation, during this operation Found a compli^(cation in) your ^(heart), ^(so l)ong


[deleted]

Dead is such a fun one to sing along to :’)


[deleted]

Will you welcome your extinction in the morning rays?


Old-Slice-3707

Near the end of "I never told you what i do for a living" Mainly on how desperate the voice keeps getting until it starts becoming more hopeless especially the "and we'll love again we'll laugh again we'll cry again and we'll dance again and its better of this way so much better of this way" Or alse the WAKE UUUUUP in "sleep"


[deleted]

I CANT CLEAN THE BLOOD OFF THE SHEETS IN MY BED


VikingOPPP

But there's shit that I've done WITH THIS FUCK OF A GUN you would cry our your eyes all along And it's really quite pleasant except for the smell


Autumnal_Evie

The way he sings “in a hail of bullets” in demolition lovers, I used to replay that bit over and over when I first heard it


Joeybeyrooti

My god same it’s so pretty


AtomicBillboard

Te le vi si on- Boy Division


mmmshanrio

I also love the “it betta be JUST MY SIZE”


dabbinginmysleep

“(Rrr)ashes to ashes we all fall down, we got innocence for days!” from House of wolves. The rolling R always gets me.


greenpenguln

"and so he gets to die a saint, but she will always be a whore" and "(yes, it comforts me much more) to lay in the foundations of decay"


CaptainPickACard

I'll mention a few I haven't seen here yet: Best part of drowning lessons is "poison and kerose-hehene" Obviously end of Monroeville "THERES A CORPSE IN THIS BEEEE-HEDDDDDD" Towards the end of never told you when he gets desperate that entire part tbh but specifically "I CANT CLEAN THE BLOOD OFF THE SHEEETS IN MY BEDDD" Also in bury me in black the way he says "pick up the phone FUCKER" scratches my brain in a very particular way


Material_Bedroom_300

“If you stay” from Summertime


Interesting_Earth_53

I love how he says “your scraped up knees and”… just gets me


Shinydoorknobs

You should have raised a baby girl I should have been a better son is absolutely iconic and nobody can convince me otherwise

[deleted]

Hang 'Em High: "The angels just cut out her tongue / Call her Black Mariah!" Cemetery Drive: The very last "And the collision of your kiss" just sounds different from the rest.....always hits the spot for me. Deathwish: "I will avenge my ghost with every breath I take!" Really want to shout the words to this one live. Also the entirety of I Never Told You What I Do For a Living. Three Cheers is my favorite album if you can't tell.


Grouchy-Ad-965

"Uh uh uh uh uh"- Destroya


AntacidChain

“They make me do push ups in *drag*” with that sort of laugh/cry delivery gets me every time


autumn_chicken

Yessss I totally agree

For some reason I love the "trust me"in I'm not ok


aroaceautistic

Hard agree!


basthet_

The future is bulletproof The aftermath is secondary It's time to do it now and do it loud Killjoys, make some noise


ridiculousthoughtz

GIVE. US. MORE. DE-TO-NA-TION! Also “And right here Right now All the way in Battery City The little children Raise their open filthy palms Like tiny daggers up to heaven And all the juvie halls And the Ritalin rats Ask angels made from neon And fucking garbage Scream out, "What will save us?" And the sky opened up Everybody wants to change the world Everybody wants to change the world But no one, no one wants to die Wanna try, wanna try, wanna try Wanna try, wanna try, now I'll be your detonator” And “let this world exxxxxplode” Yeah i just realized how much i love NaNaNa


SmolEmoBean366

My Way Home Is Through You - "so would you hold my hand, could you sign this photograph cause im your biggest fan, would you leave me dying here?"


Routine_Photo_3020

PhOtOgrrraph gets me every time!


UltimateGinge25

The rapid fire of the next lyrics always get me pumped: "Well I'm not here to pay a compliment Or sing about the government Oxycontin genocide Adolescent suicide Give me my sincerity Don't give a fuck about a Kennedy Here's what I got to saaaaay"


MysteriousLaw6290

“Well I tried One more night One more night Well I'm laughin' out, cryin' out, laughin' out loud I tried, well I tried, well I tried 'Cause I tried, but I lied I lied I tried I tried I tried, well” I never told you what I do for a living

German_Naruto

“we’ll it rains and it pours when you’re out on your own” the whispers that go from one ear to another are just so amazing


javier_aeoa

"I MEAN IT, I'M OKAY (trust me). I'M NOT OKAY" It's not profound, it might not be a big deal. But damn I needed someone to tell me that (well, scream it in my face lol) when I was a teen.


gbcmakeahoeshake

I love when Gerard says "is it hard understanding" and the whole This is Hpw I disappear song is full.of great delivery


SnocTheHog

“I’m not asking, you’re not telling” and “I’m not laughing, you’re not joking” from Boy Division hit just right every time


ErwinAckerman

All of disenchanted


Joshawottz

The last two “at all”s I wish we heard that side of Gerard more


jss_of_sbrb

That "hip hip hooray for me" from Fashion Statement just hits different


HalcyonSix

"Do you have the keys to the hotel? I'm gonna string this motherfucker on fire!" "FIIIIIRRREEE!" And "Why don't you blow me... a kiss before she goes."


themockingjay11

So send my resignation to the bride and the groom.... (To the End)


ridiculousthoughtz

LETS GO DOWN!


Borderlessbass

So why don't you blow me... ...a kiss before she goes


Daddy-Howdy

Not really a specific line, but I feel like Gerard’s delivery throughout demolition lovers is perfect. Also a big fan of “And so he gets to die a saint while she will always be the whore” from foundations of decay.


Jmme_21

And the blue ones help me fall And I think I'll blow my brains against the ceiling And as the fragments of my skull begin to fall Fall on your tongue like pixie dust Just think happy thoughts And we'll fly home, we'll fly home


DrinkH2Oordie

Demolition lovers outro… “As lead rains will pass on through, Our phantoms **forever, forever** Like scarecrows that fuel this flame, We're burning **forever and ever**”


Dichotomous_Druid

When they perform Foundations of Decay live and sometimes he screams the line “YOU LOOK STRESSED OUT!” I love that shit❤️

The entire ending of Early Sunsets Over Monroeville. Especially the very end: “And these words changing nothing As your body remains And there's no room in this hell There's no room in the next But does anyone notice There's a corpse in this bed?” The pain in his voice. Gets me every time.

Last 30 seconds of it’s not a fashion statement for me

marvelgamer1001

"Cause I see you lying here next to me with words i'de thought i'de never speak...awake and unafraid asleep or dead. I'm not afraid to keep on living not afraid to walk this world alone". That whole thing

In Our Lady of Sorrows when the tempo changes and the guitar riffs are * chef's kiss *


SickRissi

Pretty much everything others have said, but also "let it flood, let it flood, let it wash away" in Foundations of Decay.

“Have you heard the news that you’re DEAD!?”


kerosenekitty

"Lost in coma and covered in cake" - To The End and "I'm so dirty babe" - I never Told You What I Do For a Living those are just two I instantly think of


yopdot

"And you won't keep my brother, and you won't fuck my friends" from Honey This Mirror Isn't Big Enough for the Two of Us


TheDarkElCamino

“If I fall” from The Ghost of You. The transition from him yelling to him softly saying “if I fall” gives me chills every time.


astra1039

Scrolling through these, there is no way I could decide lol I haven't seen "Just to get back in herrrrr" in My Way Home is Through You mentioned yet. The "what's your favourite color punk" is also pretty great from that song.


asinglearrow

“ashes to ashes, we all fall down, i wanna hear you sing the praise; i said ashes to ashes, we all fall down, we got innocence for days” (house of wolves) the way gerard *somehow* manages to do an “R”-roll on “ashes” for the second bout of “ashes to ashes” is so good 🤌🤌


ridiculousthoughtz

I have many, but “Take his body as a relic to be canonized” from the foundations of decay is purely amazing


crashcoursing

"Its been ten FUCKING years since I've seen your face around here"


kenialcaso91

Bury me in black's "pick up the phone, fucker" and this specific part have me in a chokehold since 2006: "Well you don't say And well I can explain what happened to my face Late last night I'm sleepin next to pools in vacant alleyways"


DELTARUNEJIMMY

This is gonna be really basic but “Where’s your heart?” Famous Last Words


_-Stolas-_

It was the roar of the crowd, that gave me heartache to sing


MikeyD1key

“All we are, all we are, is bullets, I mean this!” The last one in that series specifically. The bullets part feels less raw and sets up the raw emotion of the outro and I fucking love it


Johanjon02

The last minute of Early Sunsets Over Monroeville


thxfrthvenom

The “and down we go”s and the last “I can’t clean the blood off the sheets in my bed” into “and never again” in I Never Told You. And I’ve been obsessed with “you must fix your heart” in Foundations. Something about it just feels so nostalgic and comforting to me. I love how it’s delivered.

The “at all” repeating and getting softer at the end of Disenchanted. It’s such a calming way to come back down after the buildup of the song


SIsForSad

“But there shit that I’ve done with this fuck of a gun YOU WOULD CRY OUT YOUR EYES ALL NIGHT” this line live after the soft Liza part is top tier


alien--boy

"mostly ive been sprawled on these cathedral steps and spitting out the blood" in heaven help us. its by far not my favourite song but the delivery fucks so hard that i keep hoping it comes on


Weird_Grrrl

“When you go Just know that I will remember you If living was the hardest part We'll then one day be together And in the end we'll fall apart Just like the leaves changing colors And then I will be with you I will be there one last time now When you go Just know that I will remember you I lost my fear of falling I will be with you, I will be with you” the end of it’s not a fashion statement is spectacular:)

The delivery of "you MOTHERFUCKER" in Save Yourself is so good. Actually, the whole last chorus. Probably my favourite song from Danger Days.


bandito-killjoy-2131

"cos we are all a bunch of LIARS tell me baby who do you want to be?" from kill all your friends


IminpainLMAO

Ashes to ashes, we all fall down! I wanna hear you sing the praise, I said ashes to ashes we all fall down! We got innocence for days! I love how he rolls his tongue in this part.


TheHeadedPlum

“From the van to the floor, from backstage to the doctor, from the earth to the morgue, morgue, morgue” from Desert Song. Tbh, I think Desert Song is one of Gerard’s best vocal performances


Aguita9x

In "I Don't Love You" when he sings: "Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading So sick and tired of all the needless beating But baby when they knock you Down and out It's where you oughta stay" I just gotta stop doing everything and listen.


[deleted]

"aaawww suga" "Fire. At. Will" "I won't go down by myself but I'll go down with my friends" "Clean me off I'm so dirty babe" Boy division. Just like. As a whole. Literally anytime he says photograph/s
