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?

Ah, they'll never, they'll never ever reach the moon,
at least not the one that they're after;
it's floating broken on the open sea, look out there, my friends,
and it carries no survivors.

Leonard Cohen - Sing another song, boys.

'But they told me, a man should be faithful, and walk when not able, and fight 'till the end, but I'm only human' - Will You Be There by MJ

These lyrics have stuck with me since I was a little girl (Free Willy was my Frozen ). The words have become very poignant over the years. Lovely song, not a big Michael Jackson fan in general though.

"Fuck all that"

Not Now John by Pink Floyd.

I love you in place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you

There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again.
Sometimes I wanna call you but I know you won't be there

for my mum and my dad x x x

I love these lyrics in Starlings by Elbow

"The violets explode inside me
When I meet your eyes
Then I'm spinning and I'm diving
Like a cloud of starlings
Darling is this love?"

This is the first day of my life
I swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach

Or

Why are you scared to dream of God
When it's salvation that you want
You see stars that clear have been dead for years
But the idea just lives on

Both Bright Eyes lyrics.

Another vote for Wichita Lineman lyric and another vote for the Blur one - you and I, collapsed in love!

But need to go listen to Dub be Good to Me now!

SHe may be the reason I survive
the why and wherefore I'm alive
the one I'll care for through the rough and ready years
I'll take her laughter and her tears
make them all my souvenirs
for where she goes I've got to be
the meaning of my life is she

Sparkle- I love that lyric too!

I simply love you, more than I love life itself. -
Elton John I guess that's why they call it the blues.

And

I'm older than I once was, younger than I'll be, that's not unusual.

The Boxer by Simon & Garfunkel

"It doesn't matter where you come from,
It matters where you go,
And no one gets remembered,
For the things the didn't do"

Frank Turner - Peggy Sang The Blues

I bloody love these threads.

(me speaking, not a lyric btw)

"Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts"

Minority by Green Day

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Linkin Park

You know I'm smiling, baby
You need some guiding, baby
I'm just deciding, baby, now I need you more than ever, let's spend the night together

Wichita lineman I need you more than want you is more beautiful but the above is just superb

I tried carrying the weight of the world, but I only have 2 hands........

I’ve got your photograph, the one that you signed
tucked in my pocket, all tattered by time
oh sweetheart who’s with you tonight?

Fairground attraction.

she walks softly but she carries a big gun

'Face down ass up that's the way we like to fuck' 2 Live Crew - Face down ass up.

'Sixteen in the clip and one in the hole, Nate Dogg is about to make some bodies turn cold' Warren G - Regulate.

If you should fall upon hard times
If you should lose your way
There is a place here in this house
That you can stay

Deadlines and Commitments - The Killers

For my girls!

You fill up my senses

We,ve gotta hold on to what we,ve got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We,ve got each other and thats a lot
For love,,,,,,, we,ll give it a shot!!
Bon jovi - living on a prayer

Ooh thought of another one, from the same amazing bright eyes album

I know you've got a heavy heart
I can feel it when they kiss
So many men stronger than me
Have thrown their backs out trying to lift it

Amazing lyrics on that album

I used to make phantoms I could later chase
Images of all that could be desired
Then I got tired of counting all of these blessings
And then I just got tired
