Plenty of music threads at the minute. So what is your favorite line(s) from a song ?

Heres one of mine.. 'Caught some grief from a falling leaf as she stumbled down to the dirty ground'.

'Like pebbles on a beach, kicked around displaced by feet'

This is sure hard to beat.

Has to be a Pattaya anthem:

"Well I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola

Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola"

That's a difficult question to answer since everybody chooses a song with lyrics they can relate to. For me it's The River by The Boss.

You Love give's me such a thrill, but your love wont pay my bill, I want money

a remake of the Beatles song by the Flying Lizards

Roy Harper's tour de force against organised religion- one new sling, the same old rock

All along the ancient wastes the thin reflections spin
That gather all the times and tides at once we love within
That build the edges round the shrouds that cloud the setting sun
And carry us to other days and other days to one
And full the single stillness of the mirror that is made
By each and every one of all the colours in a shade
Inside each eye is sitting like the sword inside the blade
And longs for once upon a chance to open love's cascade
For here we stand – hand to hand
Fighting for the Promised Land

And you try to tell me with consternation
That you have found me a brand new lock
Then you try to warn me that there's only one combination
One new sling – the same old rock

There is a famous straggler stood on the edge of time
Who held the staff but did not feel the pain
He multiplied the mystery with utterance sublime
And crossed his heart for those who died insane

His friend a restless mouthpiece 7000 years of age
Trends to flash a face to shape his ways
Everlasting light is burning bright inside his cage
He's only got to breathe to fan the blaze

Such a groove to have him here on-board Her Ladyship
The man who makes his living out of bed
Such a gas to see him flying through his ceaseless lip
One day, someday soon, he'll lose his head
And withering in the galleries with eyes fixed on the door
Are who and you and me and thanks a lot
And those who see but cannot stand to walk on any floor
For fear that good is something bad is not

But loud and clear is the call
In black and white across your wall
Damn it all, man, can't you see

And you try to tell me with consternation
That you have found me a brand new lock
Then you try to warn me that there's only one combination
One new sling – the same old rock

Now she's stupid in the street
and she can't socialise
Well I love the little girl
and I'll love her till the day she dies

I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die

I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die

Nice, but this one get's me teary eyed each time. It's his last song, he knows it, it's a reflection of his life, his epitome and final goodbye to a long career.

Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
And they're young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
Anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and I
Want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh, please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their
Home, and I'm welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought oh God, my chance has come at last
(But then a strange fear gripped me and I
Just couldn't ask)

Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, da
Oh, I haven't got one

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Oh, there is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out

Life is a mystery,
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

I'm pottering.

nice,

You and me how about it.

"Hey baby, yesterday has gone departed,

and tomorrow hasn't started,

all that really matters is right now,

so you must live a lifetime in each minute,

take the sweetness from within it,

yesterday has gone without a sound".

I would post the full lyric but too vulgar.

This old world is full of singers

But just a few are chosen.

The late great George Jones, we are just coming up to the second anniversary of his passing away.

Who's Gonna Fill His Shoes? No one ever.

I won't apologise for putting this one up again, great lyrics which

will mean a lot to many Americans.

IMO, the greatest vocal and instrumentalists in any band.

The Los Angeles Byrds.
