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?

When you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah
Now you just say "Oh, Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him"
"Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
You said 'I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die'
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?"
I can't do the talks like they talk on the TV
And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything but I'll do anything for you
I can't do anything except be in love with you
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All I do is keep the beat, the bad company
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Julie, I'd do the stars with you any time

Romeo and Juliet, Dire Straits

@Cocolapew - you just beat me to it with that line from Wichita Lineman. Fabulous song.

I love "In these shoes" by Kirsty MacColl. Worth listening to the whole song.

Fleetwood Mac, Gold Dust Woman:

Well did she make you cry, make you break down, shatter your illusions of love? And is it over now, do you know how to pick up the pieces and go home.

Even now, we are not lost
if you look out at the night
You'll see the colours and the lights
Seem to say people are not far away
At least in distance
And it's only our own damn resistance
That's making us stay.
-VDGG

@JamieFrasersSassenach I came in to say Romeo and Juliet.
Love that song so much it's very personal to me

I got a lion in my pocket and baby he is ready to roar , absolutely love that line

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last

"I hope when I'm eighty I'll still be angry"
Angry - The Dear Janes

There's just one thing
that's getting in the way
When we go up to bed
you're just no good
It's such a shame
I look into your eyes
I want to get to know you
And then you make this noise
And it's apparent it's all over

Lily Allen, Not Fair

"These are the eyes of disarray" Plush/Stone Temple Pilots
"Under my skin where the rain can't get in.." The The/uncertain smile
"Once you were in my rear view mirror...."

@StarCourt - me too, I just think that the lyrics are so clever

*pearl jam

'And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time'.
Glenn Campbell - Wichita Lineman

This bed is on fire with passionate love
The neighbours complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she’s on top
(James, Laid)

And every time I try to fly I fall
Without my wings
I feel so small
(Brittany, Everytime)

Our house it has a crowd
There's always something happening
And it's usually quite loud
Our mum, she's so house-proud
Nothing ever slows her down
And a mess is not allowed
(Madness, Our House)

Players only love you when they are playing - (so very true) Fleetwood Mac, Dreams

Some dance to remember, some dance to forget - Eagles, Hotel California

You've got to know when to hold, know when to fold up, know when to walk away and know when to run - (good advice) Kenny Rogers, The Gambler

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you

Duran Duran, Ordinary World

The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun

The Killers - Read my Mind

If you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold. Dire Straits, Romeo and Juliet.

[quote RJnomore1]Anything by Justin currie is usually amazing but this side of the morning is pure genius:

Nobody’s perfect and that’s something that I’m sure she’ll know
But trying to tell the lies from the truth at times is like trying to divide Ice from the snow

@Tiddlerslate1987

Alone here in the kitchen, I feel there’s something missing I’d beg for some forgiveness, but begging’s not my business

Up the junction

That whole song is a little masterpiece of lyric-writing.

C'mon baby let's get out of the cold
And give me, give me, give me your precious love for me to hold

One of the most beautiful and romantic songs I've ever heard. My username, Palaces of Montezuma by Grinderman

You are the wind beneath my wings.

You taught me the courage of stars before you left
How light carries on endlessly, even after death
With shortness of breath
You explained the infinite
And how rare and beautiful it is to even exist

Saturn by Sleeping at Last

Well, I looked my demons in the eyes
Lay bare my chest, said, "Do your best to destroy me"
See, I've been to hell and back so many times
I must admit you kinda bore me
There's a lot of things that can kill a man
There's a lot of ways to die
Yes, and some already dead that walk beside me
There's a lot of things I don't understand
Why so many people lie
It's the hurt I hide that fuels the fire inside me
Will I always feel this way?
So empty, so estranged?

Empty - Ray Lamontagne

Rubber Ring: The Smiths

The passing of time
And all of its sickening crimes
Is making me sad again
But don't forget the songs
That made you cry
And the songs that saved your life
Yes, you're older now
And you're a clever swine
But they were the only ones who ever stood by you

Black: Pearl Jam

I know someday 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
Oh can't it be mine
