you fill up my senses, like a night in the forest

Carwashandthemoog · 31/12/2023 19:50

You're my anchor in life's ocean
But most of all, you're my best friend

I love this song and sing this to dh. He thinks I’m soppy

Is that from Year of the Cat?

I was about to give the lines from On the Border

The wind whips up the waves so loud
The ghost moon sails among the clouds
Turns the rifles into silver on the border

Al Stewart is the world's best lyricist!

Surprised and very happy at the Al appreciation on this thread !

There is a crack, a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.

We're sleepin' on our problems
Like we'll solve them in our dreams
We wake up early mornin'
And they're still under the sheets

You said grass was a dirty drug
You like to preach with a vodka in your mug
(Silver Tongues)

You’re one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan, designed and directed by his red right hand.

That kindly jailer grinned at me, all eaten up with sympathy
Then poured himself another beer and came and whispered in my ear,
"If booze was just a dime a bottle boy, you couldn't even buy the smell"

TooManyAnimals94 · 31/12/2023 20:04

Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

VivaciousRadish · 31/12/2023 20:04

Fifteen minutes with you
Well, I wouldn’t say no

I had dreams, they were clouds in my coffee.

She was a rare thing, fine as a beeswing. So fine a breathe of wind might blow her away. She was a lost child, she was running wild, she said as long as there's no price on love I'll stay, you wouldnt want me any other way.

Isn't it just so pretty to think all along there was some invisible string tying me to you

Watchthedoormat · 31/12/2023 20:06

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

HippyChickMama · 31/12/2023 20:07

I'm just a notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song

Overcome2023 · 31/12/2023 20:12

For everything a reason.

You blamed it on the market for burdening you with wealth
You blamed it on the whisky as if it poured itself

Earthgirlsareeasy · 31/12/2023 20:13

That’s the thing with anger,
It begs to stick around.

lairyfights9 · 31/12/2023 20:13

Don't you tell me what you think that I can be, I'm the one at the sail, I'm the captain of my sea

Overcome2023 · 31/12/2023 20:13

@thewreckofthehesperus I love Beeswing, have you heard The Futureheads version?

lairyfights9 · 31/12/2023 20:15

Master! 😬

FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper · 31/12/2023 20:16

You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
Until the light of youth became obscured

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

This is one of my favourites. I also like You broke my heart in 17 places, Shpherds Bush was only one.

You can't trust freedom when it's not in your hands, when everybody's fighting for their promised land

Chocolatecoveredshitpig · 31/12/2023 20:23

You're dressed to kill and guess who's dying?

I may have too much, but I'll take my chances, 'cos God's stopped keeping score.

You better stay away from him, he'll rip your lungs out Jim.
