Lines from songs that you think are brilliant

[FleetwoodRaincoat]

My absolute favourite is "We don't need no education", followed closely by "You're dressed to kill ... and guess who's dying?"

What are your favourites?

Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie
A fantasy we created about people and places
As we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding
And it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth, that's love

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over,
If the high was worth the pain.
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players...
And you love the game

He calls her the chocolate girl cause he thinks she melts when he touches her

Too many protest singers
Not enough protest songs

You're the measure of my dreams - Pogues

And so I gave myself myself to God,
There was a pregnant pause, before he said... OK

And

If I hadn't seen such riches, I could live with being poor

Just a feather on the wind of time, all heading for the next destination.....

Or
Fuck the government and fuck Boris

Or
Riseup and take the power back, its time the fat cats had a heart attack (I wish so much this song became an anthem)

Oh, and (must get a bit of Leonard Cohen in):

You know that my love goes with you, as your love stays with me
It's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea.

He calls her the chocolate girl cause he thinks she melts when he touches her

She's broken up and swallowed And wrapped in bits of silver

Tremendous lyrics

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.

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
John Lennon Beautiful Boy - great song!

She ran away from home on her mother's best coat
She was married before she was even entitled to vote
And her husband was one of those blokes
The sort that only laughs at his own jokes

It’s so easy to laugh, it’s so easy to hate, it takes strength to be gentle and kind.

Smiths

Please write the artist and song titles!

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking.

How I wish you were here.

Slipping away, the moments that make up a dull day.

All Pink Floyd.

You’ve been reading S.O.S
When it’s just your clock reading 5:05

Strap on Sally chased us down the alley
We feared for our behinds

If you snack on the hoof
You'll be sure to catch
The mass wank for the RNLI

@TowandaForever

Please write the artist and song titles!

You're right, it's a bit annoying not knowing! If you can be bothered looking back, mine are:

Belle and Sebastian - The State I am in
James - Sit Down
Leonard Cohen - Hey That's No Way to Say Goodbye

♫ You can own the earth and still, all you'll own is earth until you can paint with all the colors of the wind. ♫

Sorry, Half Man Half Biscuit, Baguette Dilemma for the Booker Prize Guy

She ran away from home on her mother's best coat She was married before she was even entitled to vote And her husband was one of those blokes The sort that only laughs at his own jokes

Cracking lyrics (and song). Another of Billy's:

How can you lie there and think of England when you don't even know who's in the team?

After all the loves of my life
You’ll still be the one

You're the measure of my dreams - Pogues

Love this. Rainy Night in Soho - the lyrics are beautiful.

If I had $1 million, I would buy you a green dress - not a real green dress, that’s cruel.
