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?

I worked 11 hours,
And bought the girl some flowers

Always makes me tear up

Squeeze were very underrated I think They had it all and some brilliant lyrics too.

"We are going down 'cos you're always gettin' high,
And your crumbs of lovin'
No longer get me by

Wow, it gets better
Every time that we get high
Then your crumbs of lovin'
They somehow get me by"

Macy Gray - Still

Radio 4 was static,
As you walked away.

Love nightswimming! Also “you, I thought I knew you. You I cannot judge.”

Love is a losing game
Amy Winehouse

And I know I'm not the one who is habitually optimistic, But I'm the one who's got the microphone here so just remember this: Life is about love, last minutes and lost evenings, About fire in our bellies and furtive little feelings, And the aching amplitudes that set our needles all a-flickering, And help us with remembering that the only thing that's left to do is live.

Frank Turner: I knew Prufrock before he got famous.

I was just coming to post almost the same lyrics!

Life is about love, last minutes and lost evenings,
About fire in our bellies and furtive little feelings,
And the aching amplitudes that set our needles all a-flickering,
And help us with remembering that the only thing that's left to do is live.
After all the loving and the losing, the heroes and the pioneers,
The only thing that's left to do is get another round in at the bar.

I know some day you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star. In somebody else's sky. But why, why, why can't it be in mine?"
Black, Pearl Jam

"She asked me, Son, when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me?"

House of Gold, Twenty One Pilots...I have the lyrics of that one framed on my bedroom wall

All these years I've sang;

I walk along these city streets
So dark , with raging feet ...

Just found out via google, that I am actually wrong and Annie Lennox sings so dark, with rage and fear. Little Bird...

Ah well, I think raging feet is better

Fate doesn’t hang on a wrong or right choice.
Fortune depends on the tone of your voice.

Divine Comedy - Songs of Love.

Oooh and also...
"She's so hot she's making me sexist...bitch" Flight of the Conchords

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again.

Lovesong- The Cure.

Adele's cover of this is very good.

She was 1 in a million...
So there's 5 more just in New South Wales

• The Whitlams

It's probably my very favourite song line of all time

It's time to leave this paradise
Hope the chip shop isn't closed
Cos' their pies are really nice

The Specials - this line was written about the chippy I used to go to after swimming as a teenager so it makes me smile

.. and she's buying a stairway to heaven
..

Oh, Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life
Two kids, a dog and then the cautionary wife
While it was all going accordingly to plan
Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man

Billy Brown by Mika

Thou shalt not read NME.
Thou shalt not stop liking a band just because they've become popular.
Thou shalt not question Stephen Fry.
Thou shalt not judge a book by its cover.
Thou shalt not judge Lethal Weapon by Danny Glover.

Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip/ Thou shalt always kill

"I am not in love, but I'm open to persuasion"

Love and Affection - Joan Armatrading

Everybody must get stoned!

The freedom that you wanted back is yours for good, I hope you're glad. Sad in to unsad. Beautiful South, A little Time

Love this song

You got wires, going in
You got wires, coming out of your skin
You got tears, making tracks
I got tears, that are scared of the facts
Running, down corridors through, automatic doors
Got to get to you, got to see this through
I see hope is here, in a plastic box
I've seen christmas lights, reflect in your eyes

Wires by Athlete

You just forgot your one pet name for me
And all those promises you said you'd keep
And it's a lucky thing
Because that sentimental stuff
Doesn't suit you
At all

-Pet Name, They Might Be Giants
