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

No one to love

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 cared.

LynetteScavo · 31/12/2009 21:55

I love that too, Portofino.

Also, "A guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis, just like you swore to me that you'd be true"

If Jesus Christ is alive and well, how come John and Elvis are dead?"

I seem ot have an Elvis theme going on.

All I do is miss you, and the way we used to
be
All I do is keep the beat, the bad company
All I do is kiss you through the bars of Orion
Juliet, I'd do the stars with you anytime.

Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
You said 'I love you like the stars above, I love you til you die'
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realise, it was just that the time was wrong.

The children's laughter sang
skipping just like the stones they threw

Good to see The Smiths on here already.

I like - by The Smiths:
And if there's something you'd like to try - ask me, I won't say no: how could I?

And if a ten tonne truck kills the both of us, to die by you side, well the pleasure the privilege is mine.

The note I wrote, as she read, she said: has the Perrier gone straight to my head...

Lots more...

Not by The Smiths:

Her name was Deborah .... it never suited her (Pulp)

Let me take your hand I'm shaking like milk (The Cure)

I want to be the girl with the most cake (Hole)

"I would rather talk to plankton than to dance with you, I hope your plane back home's a DC10". Half Man Half Biscuit.
Used to get me out of some dodgy times at the end of an evening, I can tell you.

smugmumofboys · 31/12/2009 22:55

Anything by the Smiths. Genius.

RaggedRobin · 31/12/2009 23:30

haha harriet! good choice.

purepurple · 01/01/2010 09:30

If we are talking Half Man half Biscuit I could nominate their entire back catalogue!
But, this is one of mf favs.
It is so true

Paintball's Coming Home

They've got the whole world in their house,
They've got the whole wide world in their house,
They've got the whole world in their house,
To see the new conservatory
They didn't choose their cat,
The cat chose them,
They didn't choose their cat,
The cat chose them,
They didn't choose their cat,
The cat chose them,
And what do you know,
Its got it's own website,
They made some real good friends,
On Henman hill,
They made some real good friends,
On Henman hill,
They made some good friends,
On Henman hill,
Now they all meet up for boxercise,
They buy soup in cartons,
Not in tins,
They buy soup in cartons,
Not in tins,
They buy soup in cartons,
Not in tins,
And keep a torch in the back of the car,
They go to one-day cricket,
In fancy dress,
They go to one-day cricket,
In fancy dress,
They go to one-day cricket,
In fancy dress,
And choose the pub that's got the ball pond for the kids,
They treat the mercury music,
Prize win-or,
They treat the mercury music,
Prize win-or,
They treat the mercury music,
Prize win-or,
Obviously that's just jealousy on my part,
They seem to think,
It's a really good idea
They seem to think,
It's a really good idea
They seem to think,
It's a really good idea
To hire a stretch limosine,
He gets over emontional,
When he's drunk,
He gets all too emotional,
When he's drunk,
He gets over emontional,
When he's drunk,
And says,
"I tell you what mate, that baby changed me life",
If I'd have known they were coming, I'd have slashed me wrists

And who can forget the wonderful All I Want For Christmas..

And the steps of this stone church
Are peppered with confetti hearts
like a million little love affairs
waiting to fall apart

Drinking in the morning sun
Blinking in the morning sun
Shaking off the heavy one
Heavy like a loaded gun

What made me behave that way?
Using words I never say
I can only think it must be love
Oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day
it's looking like a beautiful day

bluebump · 01/01/2010 19:06

I always love the lyrics from Jamiroquai's Alright:

Yeah hey
Alright (right now)
We'll spend the night together
Wake up and live forever

" Too broken to belong, too weak to sing along"

AnathemaDevice · 03/01/2010 16:24

Sorry, can't pick a line, I have to post the whole song!

Well I guess I should confess that I am starting to get old
All the latest music fads all passed me by and left me cold
All the kids are talking slang I won't pretend to understand
All my friends are getting married, mortagages and pension plans
And it's obvious my angry adolescent days are done
And I'm happy and I'm settled in the person I've become
But that doesn't mean I'm settled up and sitting out the game
Time may change a lot but some things may stay the same

And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I yeah I won't grow up

Oh maturity's a wrapped up package deal so it seems
And ditching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams
All your friends and peers and family solemnly tell you you will
Have to grow up be an adult yeah be bored and unfulfilled
Oh when no ones yet explained to me exactly what's so great
About slaving 50 years away on something that you hate
Look I'm meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity
Well if that's your road then take it but it's not the road for me

And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I yeah I won't grow up
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up

And if all you ever do with your life
Is photosynthesize
Then you deserve every hour of these sleepless nights
That you waste wondering when you're gonna die

Now I'll play and you sing
The perfect way for the evening to begin
Now I'll play and you sing
The perfect way for the evening to begin

And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all yeah I won't grow up
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up
