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?

If it's love that you're running from there's no hiding place,
Love has problems I know but they're problems we'll just have to face

Your lips, a magic world
Your sky, all hung with jewels

Killing Moon - Echo and the Bunnymen

@Chikapu

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.

Yes, this ❤️

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it

Billy Joel. I know it's a little corny but I love that it's historically accurate, in chronological order AND it rhymes! Blows my tiny mind

Oops, forgot to credit,
Don't look back, The Temptations

This is what we've waited for
This is it, boys, this is war

She stays up all night watching him sleep, afraid that she'll wake up alone.
Sleeper, what do I do now? Bonus points for the bit about dancing round the room to the sound of corduroy flares, v 90s!!

"I didn't lose my mind, it was mine to give away"

Robbie Williams
No regrets.

Sorry if it's already been done, didn't rtft!

Haven’t read the whole thread so apologies if this has already been said;

Im just a notch in your bed post but you’re just a line in a song - fall out boy

…you took my dreams from me, when I first found you. I kept them with me babe I put them with my own. - fairytale of New York. Never fails to make me cry.

And you can have it all
My empire of dirt

All of the people saying There is A Light That Never Goes Out - I can only hear Doris from Gavin & Stacey singing it now

I am afraid of crossing lines. I am afraid of flying blind.

Afraid of inquiring minds. Afraid of being left behind.

I close my eyes I think of you, I take a step I think of you, I catch my breath I think of you, I cannot rest I think of you.

My one and only wrecking ball, and you're crashing through my walls.

(Brandi Carlile, Looking Out)

Yeah but his bird said it's amazing, though
So all that's left
Is the proof that love's not only blind but deaf

Arctic Monkeys - amazing lyrics.

I’m as honest as the day is long, the longer the daylight, the less I do wrong - Madness (brings a smile to my face every time!)

And the whole lyrics from waltzing Matilda - sung by the pogues but I think written by Eric bogle. That just makes me cry. With goosebumps.

I'm not as think as you drunk I am

No I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes it shows

Without You - Harry Nilsson

Mumford and sons awake my soul

Lend me your hand and we'll conquer them all
But lend me your heart and I'll just let you fall
Lend me your eyes I can change what you see
But your soul you must keep, totally free

Moved out of the house, so you moved next door
I locked you out, you cut a hole in the wall
I found you sleeping next to me, I thought I was alone
You're driving me crazy, when are you coming home

Laid by James

I wish that heaven had visiting hours
Ed Sheeran ❤️

But I can’t make you love me if you don’t
You can’t make your heart feel something that it won’t

“I can’t make you love me” by Bonnie Raitt and covered by George Michael. Such a simple but heartbreaking line.

A sister killed her baby 'cause she couldn't afford to feed it
And yet we're sending people to the moon
In September, my cousin tried reefer for the very first time
Now he's doing horse, it's June.

Prince Sign of the Times

Seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing
But different than the day before
That's when I saw her, ooh, I saw her
She walked in through the out door, out door
Prince- Raspberry Beret

You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave.

I guess I should've known, by the way you parked your car sideways, that it wouldn't last.

Prince, little red corvette.

@ThirtyCharacterUsernamesOnly30

I'm not as think as you drunk I am

And we all fell down when the sun came up, I think we've had enough

Another one of my favourite songs!
