Best line from a song ??

[grayhairdontcare]

Just seen this on FB so thought I would post it here.
Mine is ...
Dearly beloved, we have gathered here today to get through this thing called life

DS1 used to play that to annoy me 😂

Another man's meat is another man's poisen. Don't poisen me.

I actually love the song but that line is endearingly terrible!

Nothing that’s forced can ever be right, if it doesn’t come naturally, leave it.
(another fan of Al Stewart’s lyrics)

I’m just a notch on your bedpost but you’re just a line in a song

And you can dream, so dream out loud
And don't let the bastards grind you down
U2 - Acrobat

And if, and if the night runs over
And if, the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony path
It's just a moment
This time will pass
U2 - Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of

So many amazing lyrics 😍

Holidays must end as you know.
All is memory taken home with me:
The opera, the stolen tea, the sand drawing, the verging sea, all years ago.
......

Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
......

When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I'll dry them all
....

I can feel your heart beat through my shirt
This was all I wanted, all I want
......

Then I'd just fade into you
In your heart in your head in your
Arms in your bed under your skin
Til there's no way to know where
You end and where I begin

Also… the lyrical mastermind that is Taylor Swift…. Some of these are the work of a teenager for god’s sake!

They say all’s well that ends well but I’m in a new hell everytime… you double cross my mind!

And he was doing lines, and crossing all of mine and someone told his white collar crimes, to the FBI

You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter

And I can’t say hello to you and face another goodbye.

Loving him was like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street

Never be so polite, you forget your power, never yield such power you forget to be polite.

I could go on, these are just the top of my head!

Three: Don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the mornin'
And if you're under him, you ain't gettin' over him

I'd rather live in his world than live without him in mine - Midnight Train to Georgia.

It always makes me feel a bit sad for some strange reason

Just between us, did the love affair maim you too?

Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first

Just when I think my heart break has settled down
I will fall, I will fall if you come around

Oh and
Nothing rver happens. Nothing happens at all. The needle returns to the start of the song, and we'll all sing along like before. And we'll all be lonely tonight, and lonely tomorrow.

My brother knows Karl Marx, he met him eating mushrooms in the People's Park

And if all that there is ,is this fear of being used
I should go back to being lonely and confused,
If I could, I would, I swear 😪

I've had enough of you, and your super-bad crew
I don't need your, I don't need your
Pseudo-satisfaction baby

"Though we adore men individually, we agree that as a group, they're rather stupid"

Suffragette song, Mary Poppins

"I don't need your speed
I don't need no kettamine
You can keep your coke
I don't want no heroine
I'm a bass line junkie
I'm a bass line junkie
I'm a bass line junkie
And I like it funky"

Dizzie Rascal

There’s a light in your eyes tells me somebody’s in,
So don’t come the cowboy with me.

Kirsty McColl (RIP)

The world won’t end in darkness, it’ll end in family fun
With Coca Cola clouds behind a Big Mac sun

The Beautiful South

Got a bowling ball in my stomach
Got a desert in my mouth
Figures that my courage would choose to
Sell out now.

Tori Amos

Apron strings, cold and lonely for time brings
Thoughts that only will be quiet when someone clings
To my apron strings

Let the walls crack, 'cause it lets the light in

I cannot count the tears you've cost me
If I could have seen

You helped me to sleep
I fancied you heaps
And so did my dad

Every word in 99 problems. Shakespeare

I am not in love. But I'm open to persuasion.

Consider the flowers, they don't try to look right
They just open their petals and turn to the light

There's smell of fresh cut grass and it's filling up my senses
And the sun is shining down on the blossoms in the avenue
There's a buzzing fly hanging around the bluebells and the daisies
And there's a lot more loving left in this world
Don't go

You should have listened
There is someone here inside
Someone I thought had died
So long ago
