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?

@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.

This is lovely. What song is this?

Have been a fan forever!

They say the devil's water,
it ain't so sweet
you don't have to drink right now,
but you can dip your feet
every once in a little while

When you were young
The Killers

My two favourites there.

"I don't want to die, but I ain't keen on living either"
Perfectly summed up the way I felt at the time.

‘Oh my god, look at that face.
You look like my next mistake.’

I've paid my dues time after time
I've done my sentence but committed no crime
Bad mistakes I've made a few
I've had my fair share of sand kicked in my face but I'll come through

Pushing through the market square
So many mothers sighing (sighing)
News had just come over
We had five years left to cry in (cry in)
News guy wept and told us
Earth was really dying (dying)
Cried so much his face was wet
Then I knew he was not lying (lying)

Libraries gave us power
Then work came and made us free
What price now
For a shallow piece of dignity

Manic Street Preachers

Can't tell me 2 heads is better than one,
So with a 1000 heads we're gonna make these mother f*ers run.

They say ignorance is bliss,
I say ignorance it kills

The amazing Nehanda

"And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back I hope you feel it." Alanis Morissette - You oughta know

Oh! This one! Too good.

She dreams in colour, she dreams in red - Pearl Jam

I got soul, but I'm not a soldier - The Killers

No one really likes us except for us -Drake

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair

@DeletedByAccident Can’t wait to see Del Amitri on Monday!

I crumble completely when you cry, it seems like once again you've had to greet me with goodbye

‘-and she never gives in
She just changes her mind
She is frequently kind and she's suddenly cruel
But she can do as she pleases, she's nobody's fool’

Billy Joel- She’s always a woman

Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?

Dylan, Visions of Johanna

Some fabulous lyrics here…

Mine…

‘You call me up again just to break me like a promise. So casually cruel, in the name of being honest.’

Taylor Swift - All too well.

‘I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy’. (Randy Hanzlick). Love the word play.

Also ‘Goddamn man child. You fucked me so good that I almost said I love you’ (Lana Del Rey). Think a lot of us can relate!

If fashion is your game, then when you’re naked I guess you must be unemployed - Underwear by Pulp

You are the silence in between
What I thought and what I said

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around

Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around

from 'The Ship Song', Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. The immensity of the images actually makes me breathless, every time I hear it.

@FleetwoodRaincoat

"Time crawls by like a wounded fly" [poss Dire straits

For me it has to be Eric Clapton

I feel wonderful
Because I see the love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you

I wanna sleep with common people
I wanna sleep with common people like you
Well, what else could I do?
I said I'll - I'll see what I can do

That part always makes me smile but the whole of Pulp's Common People I think is genius!
