Lines from songs

[WadingInDeeper]

Top of my brilliant lyrics would be Ian Dury and Carter USM

They had some brilliant lyrics, combined with great energy live.

[Firthy]

Simon and Garfunkel - Kathy's Song

My mind distracted and confused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep
And kiss you when you start your day

[bpgburn]

I plant the kind of kiss
That wouldn't wake a baby
on the self same face
That wouldn't let me sleep

[Foshiznik]

One of the most underrated songs for storyline and lyrics is Godley and Creme's Under your thumb.

"Freedom's just another word for got nothing left to lose,
Freedom ain't worth nothing, but it's free".

[1968claret]

‘I may not always love you, but long as there are stars above you. You never need to doubt it, I’ll make you so sure about it’
God only knows - Beach Boys

‘ some might say they don’t believe in heaven. Go and tell it to the man who lives in hell’
Some might say - Oasis

[Dougall]

The newscaster lady is lookin’ kinda weird
If she has another facelift she’s gonna have a beard

[Dougall]

My house got burgled on the same day my car got stole.

A proper opening line for a standard 12 bar blues song!

[houseboy]

Just listening to the radio,on come You can call me Al

I think one of the finest lines ever written is in this song
He jumped back down the alley WITH SOME ROLY-POLY BAT FACED GIRL
Simply magnificent as expected from the genius that is Paul Simon.

If I’d never loved I never would have cried. Same genius.

Also every line of Sound of Silence.

[CJW]

"We are eagles of one nest, the nest is in our souls".

Kinda sums us up as Burnley fans.

[IWOODLOVETT]

I can't help about the shape I'm in I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin But don't ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to.

[aclaretinstevenage]

In the calling out to one another
Of the lovers up and down the strand
In the sound of the waves and the cries
Of the seagulls circling the sand
In the fragments of the songs
Carried down the wind from some radio
In the murmuring of the city in the distance
Ominous and low
I hear the sound of the world where we played
And the far too simple beauty of the promises we made
If you ever need holding
Call my name, and I'll be there
If you ever need holding
And no holding back, I'll see you through
Sky blue and black
Where the touch of the lover ends
And the soul of the friend begins
There's a need to be separate and a need to be one
And a struggle neither wins
But you gave me the world I was in
And a place I could make a stand
I could never see how you doubted me
When I'd let go of your hand
Yeah, and I was much younger then
And I must have thought that I would know
If things were going to end
And the heavens were rolling
Like a wheel on a track
And our sky was unfolding
And it'll never fold back
Sky blue and black
And I'd have fought the world for you
(I'd have fought the world for you)
If I thought that you wanted me to
Or put aside what was true or untrue (true or untrue)
If I'd know that's what you needed
What you needed me to do
But the moment has passed by me now
To have put away my pride
And just come through for you somehow
If you ever need holding
Call my name, I'll be there
If you ever need holding
And no holding back, I'll see you through
You're the color of the sky
Reflected in each store-front window pane
You're the whispering and the sighing of my tires in the rain
You're the hidden cost and the thing that's lost
In everything I do
Yeah and I'll never stop looking for you
In the sunlight and the shadows
And the faces on the avenue
That's the way love is
That's the way love is
That's the way love is
Sky, sky blue and black

Jackson Browne at his very best.

It was in verses when I copied it !!

[Lambo]

They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well
The world is full of kings and queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
It's Heaven and Hell, oh well
And they'll tell you black is really white
The moon is just the sun at night
And when you walk in golden halls
You get to keep the gold that falls
It's Heaven and Hell, oh no

You can’t beat a bit of good old fashioned rock from one of the greatest rock voices of all time Mr Ronnie James Dio

[JLaw]

And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time

Glenn Campbell and the Wichita Lineman

I quoted that line in my wedding speech, it’s was perfect for what I was trying to say

[Chobulous]

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose

[bobinho]

“Think I’ll go out for a walk, nothing happening here, nothing much ever does,
Besides, if she wakes up now, she’ll just want me to talk…. I got nothing to say, especially bout whatever it was…”

Taken from I & I, on the outstandingly brilliant ‘Infidels’ album by Dylan. Absolutely Dylan.

[bpgburn]

F**k you and your mom and your sister and your job
And your broke-ass car and that sh1t you call art
F**k you and your friends that I'll never see again
Everybody but your dog, you can all f**k off

Pure poetry

[Shaggy]

Anything by Steel Panther will have fantastic lyrics.

Death to all but Metal


All right!
Yeah!
C-c-come on!

**** the Goo Goo Dolls, they can suck my balls
They look like the dorks that hang out at the mall
Eminem can suck it, so can Dr. Dre
They can suck each other, just because they’re gay

They can suck a dick, they can lick a sack
Everybody shout, “Heavy metal’s back!”

Death to all but metal
Death to all but metal
Death to all but metal

Death to Papa Roach, Blink-182
All those ******* pussies sounds like doggy-doo
Wearing baggy pants, spiking up their hair
They’re not worth the crust on my underwear

Where is Def Leppard? Where is Mötley Crüe?
Why do all my lyrics sound like Dr. Seuss?

Death to all but metal
Death to all but metal
Death to all but metal

Kill those ******* fuckheads who program MTV
They can suck my ass with all the record companies

Death to Britney Spears, kill the little slut
Kill Madonna too and then **** her in the butt
**** Mariah Carey, death to Sheryl Crow
They can kiss each other on their camel toe

50 Cent’s a fag, so is Kanye West
Shooting hot sperm on each others’ chest
Death to all but metal
Death to all but metal
Death to all but metal

[rufus lumley]

My Father was a fisherman my Mama was a fisherman's friend.

[Chobulous]

“I recall the night we knelt and prayed,
Noticing your face was thin and pale,
Found it hard to hide my tears,
I felt ashamed,
I felt I’d let you down”

“Far between sundown’s finish and midnight's broken toll
We ducked inside the doorways, thunder went crashing
As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds
Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashin'
Flashin' for the warriors whose strength is not to fight
Flashin' for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight
And for each an' every underdog soldier in the night
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'”
