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

There is a song that I recall
My mother sang to me
She sang it as she tucked me in
When I was ninety three

From Joan Baez, Diamonds & Rust (1970s)

”Your eyes were bluer than robins eggs
My poetry was lousy you said”

Actually the whole song is beautiful

"There he is now, look - alone in his polytunnel with his pitiful competition onions"

Fuck you I won't do what you tell me. Mothafuckaaarrrrrrr

As the girl ran her fingers down the passenger list
I swear someone could have lived off the heartbeats I missed

Her green eyes blew goodbyes
With her head in her hands
And your kiss on the lips of another

How does it feel, to be, different from me?

I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday.

Walking past the border guards
Reaching for her hand
Showing no emotion
I wanna break into a run
But these are only boys, and I will never know
How men can see the wisdom in a war

Loving these, especially Springsteen!

My contribution- 'I want something good to die for, to make it beautiful to live' - Queens of the Stone Age.

Now you're telling me
You're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You who are so good with words
And at keeping things vague
'Cause I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly
Yes, I loved you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid

I was going to say that too, beautiful song!

I love that song ❤️

It's the way it's alright
When every thing goes wrong
It's the sound, of a slow simple song

Chris stapleton - simple song

I'm a juvenile product of the working class

If fashion is your trade,
then when you're naked I guess you must be unemployed

Year of the Cat ? Happy memories for me x you

That's why I sometimes stand alone at parties
That's why I drink, so I'll be who they think I am"

What's this one? Sounds intriguing

"And Charity is a coat you wear, twice a year"

There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own
Then you leave on your own
And you go home and you cry and you want to die

I actually really hate The Smiths but How Soon Is Now is a belter...that completely sums up for me what it felt like to be young...

You get another germ and you catch pneumonia
After you do, he'll never phone ya

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts, don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
But Heaven knows, anything goes

Good authors who should know better words
Now only use four letter words
Writing prose
Anything goes

The whole song is full of brilliant rhymes. Cole Porter was a genius at lyrics, so was Noel Coward. Will Adele's or similar still be remembered after 100 years?

You can’t always get what you want
Rolling stones..
