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?

He left no time to regret
Kept his dick wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy.

Amy Winehouse

Anyone perfect must be lying
Anything easy has it's cost
Anyone plain can be lovely
Anyone loved can be lost

Barenaked ladies.. falling for the first time.

Did I dream.you dreamt about me ?

Otto Titsling song

I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife

'Take me to church' by Hozier - love the song!

The whole of song by snow patrol, especially the first but

You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go

“Well, now, don't you tell me to smile!”

Beastie Boys - Intergalactic.

Need this on a tshirt because, well, men out in public.

@Washeduponthebeach not my normal choice but it just resonates with me.

My late entry is for Justin Sullivan's lyrics for New Model Army. So many to chose from but I'll keep it to three snippets:

Is it wrong to let him walk into the water?
Close your eyes for just one moment
You get so tired the endless days of watching over
And is it wrong as the waves boil up to greet him
To turn away - he disappears into the tide
All your love it cannot save him
All your love it cannot save him

I stand on these hills and I watch Her at night
A thousands square miles, a million orange lights
Wounded and scarred, She lies silent in pain
Raped and betrayed in the cold acid rain
And I wish and I wish
We could start over again
Yes I wish and I wish
We could win back Her love once again

Winter storms and the snow flying
Razor wire and the gulls crying
Cross the water or die trying

🎼You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
Until the light of youth became obscured
And left you on your own and in the shade
An English lady of a certain age
And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
You'd say with a conspiratorial wink
"You wouldn't think that I was seventy"
And he'd say, "no, you couldn't be!"🎼

In fact this whole song it's like listening to a story - completely love it - Divine Comedy "Lady of a Certain Age"

I tear my heart open
I sew myself shut
My weakness is
I care too much
And my scars remind me
That the past is real
I tear my heart open
Just to feel

Scars by papa roach.
I started listening to it 20yrs ago. My oldest dd started listening to it 10yrs ago. And my youngest dd is now listening to it. It is a really powerful song.

Another song I love that makes me smile is
Little blue man by Petula Clark

@ginandbearit

Did I dream.you dreamt about me ?

Gorgeous ❤️

The line that gets me most is this - the whole song is heartbreaking and beautiful

Diving for dear life
When we could be diving for pearls.

"Hear my needle hit the groove"

• The Stone Roses - she bangs the drums

"The hills as old as time" - waterfall

Loads of the Stones Roses actually and James songs.

"Today, I'll not touch those sickening papers, will not think of torment or the rape of nature" what for by James

Indoor fireworks
Can still burn your fingers
Indoor fireworks
We swore we were safe as houses
They're not so spectacular
They don't burn up in the sky
They can dazzle or delight
Or bring a tear
When the smoke gets in your eye.

About a fading relationship I think - elvis Costello

And these lines from If Ever I Stray by Frank Turner

If ever I stray from the path I follow
Take me down to the English Channel
Throw me in where the water is shallow
And then drag me on back to shore!
'Cause love is free and life is cheap
As long as I've got me a place to sleep
Some clothes on my back and some food to eat
I can't ask for anything more
I can't ask for anything more
The path I chose isn't straight and narrow
It wanders 'round like a drunken fellow
Some days it's hard for me to follow
But if you've got my back I'll go on.
If you've got my back I'll go on.

@Mariell

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

Always brings to mind the opening sequence of Priscilla Queen of the Desert

Charlene’s “I’ve Never Been to Me”

At this moment in my life it's Thursday's Child by David Bowie & Reeves Gabrels:
All of my life I've tried so hard
Doing my best with what I had
Nothing much happened all the same.
Something about me stood apart
A whisper of hope that seemed to fail
Maybe I'm born right out of my time
Breaking my life in two.....

I see you crying and I want to kill your friends
Aztec Camera

Overcast days never turn me on
But something 'bout the clouds and her mixed

Elbow - Open arms
The moon is out looking for trouble
The moon wants a scrap or a cuddle
The moon is face down in a puddle
And everyone's here.

Snow Patrol - Chasing cars
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

David Grey - This year’s love

'Cause it takes something more this time
Than sweet, sweet lies oh now
Before I open up my arms and fall
Losing all control
Every dream inside my soul
When ya kiss me on that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing, "ain't this life so sweet?"

The Killers - Smile like you mean it.

And someone is calling my name
From the back of the restaurant
And someone is playing a game
In the house that I grew up in
And someone will drive her around
Down the same streets that I did
On the same streets that I did

Smile like you mean it

@harrietsweetharriet I have always loved that song, my second daughter was born on a Thursday and now I love it even more

Got so much clot she don't need no balls - L7

*clit not clot!

"If I would have known
How sharp the pieces were you crumbled into
I might have let them lay"

Taylor Swift and Big Red Machine - Renegade
