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

Oh, so I hope I learn to get over myself
Stop trying to be somebody else

Yes! Much overlooked nowadays.

The Cuddly Toy song by Harry Nilsson is a different one to Roachford’s, although they’re both belters!

My favourite line is from Jilted John - “I was so upset that I cried all the way to the chip shop”.

You call me up again just to break me like a promise. So casually cruel in the name of being honest.

AND

You showed me colours you know I can't see with anyone else.

I put you on a pedestal
You put me on the pill

(That feels quite different from the original version, which is sung from a male point of view)

I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them but they were only satellites
It's wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care

You know I've always been a dreamer
(Spent my life running 'round)

I’d like to be my old self again, but I’m still trying to find it.

We were born before the wind, also younger than the sun.

@FrazzleKazzle Also one of my favourite lines ever from All Too Well!

that whole song is very quotable. I love it.

My suggestion to these things is always

"It's 6 o'clock in the tower blocks, those stalagmites of culture shock"

or

"American businessmen snap up van Goughs for the price of a hospital wing"

but just lately my favourite comes from Midnight Oil's last album

"who left the bag of idiots open, who drank from the bottle of bad ideas?"

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour but heaven knows I'm miserable now.

Kiss me underneath this lampost light, I know it smells of piss but you look beautiful tonight

Then onward in my journey, I come to understand
That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand

Bob Dylan

You're the book that I have opened
And now I've got to know much more

I plant the kind of kiss that wouldn't wake a baby
On the self-same face that wouldn't let me sleep

(Elbow, Mirrorball - I love the entire song)

DH has suggested

"you have to be trusted by the people that you lie to"

(and I'd add all of Us and Them by Pink Floyd, a couple of those lines are in here already)

You never hear of folk getting knocked on the bonce/Although there was a drive-by shouting once

A man hears what he wants to hear and he disregards the rest.

Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans.

oh and then

The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

I think of you
Much more than I’ll ever be willing to say

You're about as easy as a nuclear war

I am a rock, I am an island
And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries

“And every time I scratch my nails down someone else’s back I hope you feel it”

Just a perfect line!

Don’t worry, it’s all just a symptom of being human

Step in my transporter
so I can teleport ya
all around my heavenly body
😂😂😂😂
