It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice.

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

I can't stand Fairytale of New York but,

"I could have been someone,
Well so could anyone!"

Is a standout line.

Also, from 'Fever',

"Chicks were born to give you Fever,
Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade."

Excellent.

Many a tear has to fall but it's all in the game.

There's a guy works down the chipshop swears he's Elvis.
He's a liar, and I'm not sure about you.

Freedoms just another word for nothing left to lose...

"It's no secret that the both of us are running out of time"

Adele. Not the best but sadly pretty accurate for people of a certain age who haven't found companionship. I'm long term single and now happily so but when I was looking for love it was painful to listen to and I can still relate to people who hate being single.

I wished on them but they were only satellites,
It's wrong to wish on space hardware, I wish I wish I wish you cared.

DelurkingAJ · 31/12/2023 19:18

You held your breath and the door for me.

Walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme.

If I hadn’t seen such riches
I could live with being poor

There’s no success like failure and failures no success at all.

I'm as honest as the day is long
The longer the daylight, the less I do wrong.

She came out of the sun in a silk dress running like a watercolour in the rain.

notprincehamlet · 31/12/2023 19:26

I said 'I'm so happy, I could die'.
She said 'Drop dead', then left with another guy.

Do you cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed...

Reminds me of my (sometimes) dearly departed dad and the sleepless nights I spent as a child

ANightmareBeforeChristmas · 31/12/2023 19:28

Ooooh
Do we not sail on a ship of fools?
Ooooh
Why is life so precious and so cruel?

CeriB82 · 31/12/2023 19:30

And I need you more than want you…

HeadNorth · 31/12/2023 19:31

I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die

OpalOrchid · 31/12/2023 19:31

And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again

@squashyhat
Love it ! ❤️
My second choice line would have been
“And I thought, you can’t make people be what you want them to be “

Allow me to introduce myself, I’m a man of wealth and taste.

unsync · 31/12/2023 19:35

I still remember every single word you said And all the shit that somehow came along with it Still, there's one thing that comforts me Since I was always caged and now I'm free

I'm thankful for that freedom everyday.
