To ask you what your favourite Song Lyric is?

[YouBetterWerk]

Sitting here thinking about mine when I should be working and thought I would throw it out to the MN masses.

After much deliberation, it is a tie for me between:

'Jonnys in the Basement mixing up the medicine, I'm on the pavement thinking 'bout the government' - Dylan

And

'Tank fly boss walk jam nitty gritty'

Anything that pulls you up? Makes you laugh? Breaks your heart? Has great memories?

The Ruts:

Sleepless nights I spend in pools of sweat
Can't get you out of my mind
Well - not just yet

Breathe out so I can breathe you in

Peggy Lee. "Chicks Were Born To Give You Fever, be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade". FEVER.

Chigley. "Your phone was disconnected by a fault we've now corrected...investigating each complaint of noises loud or voices faint". MR WANTAGE

i get all the news i need on the weather report

How can we be lovers if we cant be friends.

Live and let die

I might be barely breathing but I'm not dead .....

Bring on the rain , Jodee medina .

Got me through many a dark time !

So many that have already been mentioned; Wichita Lineman, The Needle and the Damage Done, Lilac Wine, Motown Junk and anything by Bob Dylan.

"I hope all is well with you, I wish the best for you.
When no one is around love will always love you."- Say by Cat Power

It's easy to love me now, but would you love me if I was down and out? Would you still have love me.

Justin currie is an amazing and under rated lyricist.

Nobody's perfect, and that's somehting that I'm sure she'll know
Cos trying to tell the lies from the truth at times is like trying to divide ice from the snow
And when I knew it was over
I jumped in to a cab and said guess where to go
And the driver turned around and said Finding what you want is like trying to divide ice from the snow

So here I sit rolling back to bed
Knowing loves a hazard that I couldn't guess
But from this side of the morning, I couldn't care less...

She's the kind of girl who won't forgive but will forget
So take me from this party driver put me back to bed
I wanted to be loved but just got laughed at instead
So if this taxis for hire
I'll get in the back just to feel the friction of the Tarmac and the tyres....

And that's just one song.

Oh and nick cave...

Come sail your ships around me
And burn my bridges down
We make a little history baby
Every time you come around

Hey fatty bum bum - sweet sugar dumpling !

We all leave this world alone
So who gives a fuck about all the things you own

Ms Dynamite

All of That's Entertainment & Father & Son. Plus What else can we do now except roll down the window & let the wind blow back your hair.

When trouble seems to be your only friend or company. You can turn to me. I'll put the smile back on your face. The world will seem a better place and that's a guarantee.
(You've got a friend)

Enough is enough. No more walking round with my head down. I'm so over being blue, crying over you.
(So sick of love songs)

At my most beautiful
I count your eyelashes secretly.
with every one, whisper I love you.
I let you sleep.
I know your closed eye watching me,
listening.
I thought I saw a smile

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

Billy Bragg - New England

"It's time to trust my instincts, close my eyes and leap". Idina Menzel - Defying Gravity

"We are but men, ROCK!"
Tenacious D

You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
And dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do

Pulp

Hot dog. Jumping frog.

In every nowhere town. There are somewhere dreams.
And
To see their dreams come true
sends a spark through the dark end of the mind.
And.
I've seen what love can do. It's like the candle glowing in the wine.
