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, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head, you feel left out
Or looked down on
Just try your best
Try everything you can
And don't you worry what they tell themselves
When you're away
It just takes some time
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be all right, all right

Jimmy eat world - the middle

"Lean on me, when you're not strong, I'll be friend, I'll help you carry on"

Well up just writing it

Bill Withers

"If I come across as if I am complaining, it's 'cause you're pissing down my back and telling me it's raining"

You've got the universe reclining in your hair - T.Rex - Jeepster.

Two old ladies sittin' on the sand/
Each one wishing that the other was a man

The Dubliners, South Australia

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

Hotel California - The Eagles

Love is a stranger in an open car. Tempts you in and drives you far away. - Eurythmics - Love is a stranger.

Tried to RTWT but entire songs are getting difficult to scroll through...

But all my words come by back to me in shades of mediocrity...

I don't care how long this lasts.
We have no future we have no past.....

Paul Weller

Agh come back to me

And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone

-Piano Man
-Billy Joel

I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
Oh, and more, much more than this
I did it my way

• My Way

-Elvis

They told me you missed school today
So I suggest you just throw them all away
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old granddad had to sweat to buy

-Handbags & Gladrags
-Rod Stewart

Darling I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream - Taylor Swift

… and anything Paolo Nutini has ever written.

I've been here and I've been there, in my Joy Division oven gloves

Life is a game you cannot win.

Most of annies song gets to me but

you fill up my senses
come fill me again

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin', but it's free
Feelin' good was easy, Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

Two men say they're Jesus, one of them must be wrong.

Always makes me smile.

Industrial Disease - Dire Straits

And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me...
My Immortal- Evanesence. Spelt it wrong I think

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.

Burn down the disco
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music that they constantly play
It says nothing to me about my life.
Panic - The Smiths

@GreenGordon I remember first time I heard it as "you've got a microscopic cock and a catastrophic plan" 😂

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk to you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping...

Why is it that as we grow older and stronger
The road signs point us adrift and make us afraid
Saying "You never can win," "Watch your back," "Where's your husband?"
Oh, I don't like the signs that the signmakers made

So I'm going to steal out with my paint and brushes
I'll change the directions, I'll hit every street
It's the Tinseltown scandal, the Robin Hood vandal
She goes out and steals the king's English
And in the morning you wake up and the signs point to you

They say "I'm so glad that you finally made it here"
"You thought nobody cared, but I did, I could tell"
And "This is your year," and "It always starts here"
And oh... "You're aging well"

she's such a sweet girl, free of the taints of this world
think that's a compliment, don't be so full of sentiment
why you worship sweetness - what virtue's there in weakness
being pushed about is nothing much to shout about, I know
