Best song lyric

[cheerful_deviant]

"Really love your peaches, wanna shake your tree." ~ The Joker Steve Miller Band

Anyone else got a favorite line or two?

 

[cantdog]

If all the ignorance in the world
Passed a second ago
What would you say?
And who would you obey?

Live, "Peace Is Now" of the Mental Jewelry Album



Your mind's guaranteed, it's all you'll ever need
So what do you want from me?

The Airplane, years ago


The God I believe in
Isn't short of cash, mister

U2

 

[logophile]

"I don't want what's best for you
Cause where will I be when you've found it."

"The politician locks my eye and says to me
'There is no crisis here, there's no conspiracy.'"

"A lesson learned, a loving god, and things in their own time,
In nothing more do I trust."

All by E. Saliers


"She tastes like spring, there she goes again."

"I'm just a dog, waiting at the kitchen door
And love is a kindness I've never known before."

"By this time next year
You'll know you're queer
It'll all be okay
It'll all be clear
And you'll run away from home
But not to be alone
And you'll go down to the city
Where the boys are pretty."

All by A. Ray

I love the Indigo Girls.
Love them love them love them.

 

[cloudy]

There's a fear down here we can't forget
hasn't got a name just yet
Always awake, always around
singing ashes to ashes all fall down.

from Throwing Stones, by the Grateful Dead.

 

[impressive]

I love the Indigo Girls.
Love them love them love them.

Yup! Mine:

"Darkness has a hunger that's insatiable, and lightness has a call that's hard to hear ..."

"I am intense. I am in need. I am in pain. I am in love."

 

[logophile]

Yup! Mine:

"Darkness has a hunger that's insatiable, and lightness has a call that's hard to hear ..."

"... I wrap my fear around me like a blanket, I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it. I'm crawling on your shore."

Great song...

 

[yui]

'Cause I am due for a miracle
I'm waiting for a sign
I'll stare straight into the sun
And I won't close my eyes
Till I understand or go blind (till I understand or go blind)

-- Thrice "Stare At The Sun"


Like the soldier long standing under fire
Any change comes as a relief
Let the giver’s name remain unspoken
She is just a generous thief

-- Ben Harper "Diamonds On The Inside"

 

[TheEarl]

"... I wrap my fear around me like a blanket, I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it. I'm crawling on your shore."

Great song...

"There's more than these answers to these questions, pointing me in a crooked line."

[Quiet_Cool]

"That one last shot's a permanent vacation,
And how high can you fly with broken wings.
Life's a journey, not a destination,
And you just can't tell just what tomorrow will bring.

You gotta learn to crawl, before you learn to walk,
But I just couldn't listen to all that righteous talk."

Aerosmith Amazing


"The bigger you give, the bigger you get.
Force that denial, but best they forget,
The cupboard is empty, we really need food.
Summer is winter and you always knew."

Bush Little Things

Just a couple. I listen to far too much music.

[AppleBiter]

"She won't let me buy her jewelry.
She don't want things that she can keep.
She wears wildflowers in her hair,
Then throws them to the sea.
She's the beginning and the end of me.

She's a mystery.
My most beautiful regret
I will never understand her
She's a mystery.
The only promise I can keep
Even in my dreams she ruins me."

Bon Jovi "She's A Mystery"

"There's more than these answers to these questions, pointing me in a crooked line."

"And the less I seek my source, the closer I am to fine..."

Hey Sexy... nice marks!

Cause pages are meant for turning,
and people are bound to change.
And bridges are meant for burning,
when the people and memories they join
are the same.

Still I hope that you can find another,
who could take what I could not.
He'd have to be a super guy
or maybe super god.

Cause I never was much of a martyr before
And I ain't 'bout to start nothing new.
And baby I won't hang upon
a lover's cross for you.

Jim Croce - Lovers Cross

Of a temporary feeling

After taking every detour
Getting lost and losing track
So that even if I wanted
I could not find my way back
After driving out the memory
Of the way things might have been
After I’d forgotten all about us
The song remembers when
trisha yearwood

I go to school and I run and play
I tell the kids that it’s all ok
I laugh a lot so my friends won’t know
When the bell rings that I just don’t wanna go
I go to my room and I close my eyes
I make believe that I have a new life
I don’t believe you when you say
Everything will be wonderful some day
-everclear-wonderful


It’s amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don’t say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old mr. webster could never define
What’s being said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

The Tigger Song
The most wonderful thing about Tiggers,
is Tiggers are wonderful things.
Their tops are made out of rubber,
their bottoms are made out of springs.
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is,
I'm the only one.
Oh, III'm the only one!

Oh, the wonderful thing about Tiggers is,
Tiggers are wonderful chaps.
They're loaded with vim and vigor.
They love to leap in your lap.
They're jumpy, bumpy, clumpy, thumpy,
Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is ...
III'm the only one!

 

[Quiet_Cool]

"Anyone...
Caught in your mystery.
Keep it angry,
Keep it wispy.
I'm falling down,
Drunk on your juices.

[v2]:

Funky temple.
Your dress is torn to shreds.
Your eyes are crazy,
About to save my head and...
I can't forget you,
But I don't remember.

Turn my head..."

Live Turn My Head

[SeaCat]

Roll away the dawn,
Roll away the dawn and let me see,
The land of the free,
Has anything changed at all;

Sweet liberty,
Sweet liberty is in our hands,
It's part of the plan,
Or is it a state of mind?

Horses and men,
Horses and men are on the field,
They didn't yield.
Many have fallen here;

Never forget
Never forget what they have done,
The time will come,
When it will change again.
Never forget!

Chris de Burgh; Liberty

This should be listened to as a set. Revolution, Light a fire, Liberty. Then you get the idea of what he was saying.

Apparently I'm in an odd sort of mood. This was the very first thing that came to mind when I read the title of this thread:

From Little Shop of Horrors...

[AUDREY II]
Better wait a minute
Ya better hold the phone
Better mind your manners
Better change your tone
Don't you threaten me, son
Ya gotta lot of gall
We gonna do things my way
Or we won't do things at all

Ya don't know what you're messin' with.
You got no idea
You don't know what you're lookin' at
When you're lookin' here
Ya don't know what you're up against,
No, no way, no how
You don't know what you're messin' with,
But I'm gonna tell you now!

Get this straight!
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space and I'm bad
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space
And it looks like you been had
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space,
So get off my back 'n get out my face,
'Cause I'm mean and green and I am bad

Wanna save your skin, boy?
You wanna save your hide?
You wanna see tomorrow?
You better step aside
Better take a tip, boy
Want some good advice?
You better take it easy,
'Cause you're walkin' on thin ice

Ya don't know what you're dealin' with
No, you never did
Ya don't know what you're lookin' at,
But that's tough titty, kid!
The lion don't sleep tonight,
And if you pull his tail, he roars
Ya say, "That ain't fair?" Ya say, "That ain't nice?"
Ya know what I say?
"Up yours!"

Watch me now!
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space and I'm bad.
I'm just a mean green mother, a real disgrace,
And you've got me fightin' mad
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space,
Gonna trash your ass,
Gonna rock this place,
'Cause I'm mean and green and I am bad

Don't you talk to me about old King Kong
You think he's the worst, well, you're thinkin' wrong
Don't talk to me about Frankenstein
He got a temper, ha! He ain't got mine

You know I don't come from no black lagoon
I'm from past the stars and beyond the moon
You can keep The Thing, keep The It,
keep The Creature, they don't mean shit

I got one style, major moves
I got the stuff and I think that proves
You better move it out
Nature calls
You got the point?
I'm gonna bust your balls

Here it comes!
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space and I'm bad
I'm just a mean green mother, a real hard case
You can't beat this trouble, man
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space,
So just beam him up
It's all over, ace
I'm mean and green

[PODS]
Mean green mother from outer space

[AUDREY II]
I'm mean and green

[PODS]
Mean green mother from outer space

[AUDREY II]
I'm mean and green

[PODS]
Mean green mother from outer space
Mean green mother from outer space

[AUDREY II]
And I. Am. Bad!
Ah, ah, ah, ah

I feel better now that I got that off of my chest. Thanks.

Edit: My apologies for the humor if this was s'posed to be a dead serious thread.

Standing in the sun with a popsicle
Everything is possible

~ Soul Asylum "Without A Trace"

Every time she sneezes I believe it's love
and oh lord.... I'm not ready for this sort of thing

~ Counting Crows "Anna Begins"

No one talks about when one might stop and need to rest
Or how long you sit alone before you stop looking back
Like you're waiting for Godot,
then you pick your sorry ass up off the street and...
Go

~ Shawn Colvin "If I Were Brave"

Why can't I get just one fuck?

~ Violent Femmes "Add It Up"

 

[Huckleman2000]

Morning smiles
Like the face of a newborn child
Innocent, unknowing
Winter’s end
Promises of a long lost friend
Speaks to me of comfort

But I fear I have nothing to give
I have so much to lose, here in this lonely place
Tangled up in our embrace
There’s nothing I’d like better than to fall
But I fear I have nothing to give

-Fear, Sarah McLachlan


Just before our love got lost, you said, "I am as constant as the Northern Star."
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness. Where's that at? If you want me, I'll be in the bar."
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh, Canada!
With your face sketched on it twice.

You're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter, and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you
And still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet.

-A Case of You, Joni Mitchell


You take me in, no questions asked
You strip away the ugliness that surrounds me.
Are you an angel? Am I already that far gone?
I only hope that I won't disappoint you
When I'm down here on my knees.

Sweet surrender, is all I have to give

-Sweet Surrender, Sarah McLachlan


The screen door slams, Mary's dress waves
Like a vision, she dances across the porch as the radio plays

-Thunder Road, Bruce Springsteen


I take one one one cause you left me and
two two two for my family and
3 3 3 for my heartache and
4 4 4 for my headaches and
5 5 5 for my lonely and
6 6 6 for my sorrow and
7 7 for no tomorrow and
8 8 I forget what 8 was for and
9 9 9 for a lost god and
10 10 10 10 for everything
everything everything everything
you can all kiss off into the air

-Kiss Off, Violent Femmes

I'd have gone with:

Son, be a dentist
People will pay you to be inhumane
Your temperament's wrong for the priesthood
And teaching would suit you still less
Son, be a dentist
You'll be a success
