What are some of your favourite lines from songs?

[overmydeadbody]

One of mine that is going round and round my head right now:

"Shine on you crazy diamond"

'You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot, happy Christmas my arse, I pray God it's our last..'

and:

"You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round"

Flaming Lips 'Do You Realise'

...

I hope you choke on your bacardi and coke

never try to understand me
expectation makes me old.

Never a truer word, imo!

when you quit you quit
but you always wish
you knew it was your last shot

(though more to do with cigarettes than heroin)

"it kicks like a sleep twitch" - Editors Papillon

also

it's hard to get by, when your arse is the size of a small country

"why live in the world when you can live in your head?"

Pulp

"The martians could land in the car park and no-one would care"
Del Amitri's 'Nothing Ever Happens'

"I defy inhibition, escape definition"

Hue & Cry's 'I Refuse'

You look like me- but please don't turn out like me

more Pulp

(bollocks- that's going to be in me head for the rest of the day now)

'everyone's heard about it
from the queen of england
to the hounds of hell'

White Stripbes and Seven Nation Army

'gary doesn't need his eyes to see
gary and his eyes have parted company'

Gary Gilmore's Eyes by The Adverts

'some girls are bigger than others
some girls mothers are bigger than other girls mothers'

Smiths

To name but a very small selection

I am the son and the heir, of a shyness that is criminally vulgar...

and I love you more than want you
and I want you for all time

Wichita Linesman

They've got engaged
no intention of a wedding
he's nicked your bird
and he'd probably kick your head in

'I'm gonna inject your soul with some sweet rock 'n roll
And shoot you full of rhythm and blues '

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

Well I've never prayed but tonight I'm on my knees, yeah - Verve, Bittersweet Symphony

Here's to the kids out there smoking in the streets
They're way too young but I'm way too old to preach - Kings of Leon, Ragoo

"Frankly, Mr Shankly, since you ask, you are a flatulent pain in the arse"

in fact, any Smith lyric. Inspired.

Clock in my head
Clock on the wall
And the two of them
Don't agree at all

I can?t seem to face up to the facts.
I?m tense and nervous and I can?t relax.

And most often quoted: Don't push me cos Im close to the edge

Also love the 'Arse the size of a small country'

we all have wings
but some of us don't know why

what cocolepew said...

you know that i could be in love with almost everyone
i think that people are the greatest fun...
