Best Lines from Songs ... Which do you like.... ?

[konradv]

...Sweet blossom come on under the willow
We can have high times if you'll abide
We can discover the wonders of nature
Rolling in the rushes down by the riverside

She's got everything delightful
She's got everything I need
Takes the wheel when I'm seeing double
Pays my ticket when I speed

...
She's got everything delightful
She's got everything I need
A breeze in the pines in the summer night moonlight
Crazy in the sunlight yes indeed

Sometimes when the cuckoo's crying
When the moon is halfway down
Sometimes when the night is dying
I take me out and I wander round
I wander round

Sugar Magnolia

 

[konradv]

Here's a tougher one. Xed out are the lines that would give it away.

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Why silks and linens of yesterday's gowns
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
And what will she do with Thursday's rags
When Monday comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown and cry behind the door

Hmmm don't know that one....

Gotta be an old fart to know this one.



The Velvet Underground & Nico- All Tomorrow's Parties

 

[QuickHitCurepon]

She's superfreakin'.

 

[QuickHitCurepon]

As if we were still lovers

Still freakin'.

I've got better idea! **** me, you ugly son of a *****

The way you squeeze my lemon I think I'm gonna fall right out of bed

The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe

There's a lady whose sure all that glitters is gold

Wow Zappa, Didn't expect to see that. I think I can still sing the whole album.

I dreamed I was an Eskimo...

Other gems from that album

"Look here brother who you jiving with that cosmic debris"

Just keep your nose
To the grindstone they say
Will that redeem us, Uncle Reemus?
I can't wait til mah 'fro is full grown
I'll just throw away my doo-rag at home
I'll take a drive to
Beverly Hills
Just before dawn
And knock the little jockeys
Off the rich peoples lawn
And before they get up
I'll be gone

"It doesn't, and you can't, I won't, and it don't
it hasn't, it isn't, it even ain't, and it shouldn't
it couldn't"

And of course

Watch out where the huskies go
and don't you eat that yellow snow

I did a thread in music on the Inca Roads soloos. The guy had no peers as a guitar player

Omg! My wedding song! (Lol)

No doubt there. He was the poster child for "being one of a kind".
I shook his hand once.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

You don't have to take this crap
You don't have to sit back and relax
You can actually try changing it
I know we've always been taught to rely

Upon those in authority -
But you never know until you try
How things just might be -
If we came together so strongly

 

[Bonzi]

Are you gonna try to make this work
Or spend your days down in the dirt
You see things can change
Yes an' walls come tumbling down

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Are you gonna try to make this work
Or spend your days down in the dirt
You see things can change
Yes an' walls come tumbling down

Tidy !

 

[Bonzi]

If I was beautiful like you
Oh the things I would do
Those not so blessed would by crying out murder
And I'd just laugh and get away with it too
Like you do
If I was beautiful like you
I would never be at fault
I'd walk in the rain between the rain drops
Bringing traffic to a halt
But that will never be
That will never never be
Cause I'm not beautiful like you
I'm beautiful like me

[ChrisL]

How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
Touch if you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase you
Even doves have pride

 

[baileyn45]

Old dogs care about you even when you make mistakes
God bless little children while they're still young to hate

Ain't but three things in this world worth a solitary dime
But old dogs and children and watermelon wine"

 

[baileyn45]

Another gem from Tom T Hall

I love little baby ducks, old pick-up trucks
Slow movin' trains and rain
I love little country streams, sleep without dreams
Sunday school in May and hay
And I love you too

I love leaves in the wind, pictures of my friends
Birds of the world and squirrels
I love coffee in a cup, little fuzzy pups
Bourbon in a glass and grass
And I love you too

I love honest open smiles, kisses from a child
Tomatoes on the vine and onions
I love winners when they cry, losers when they try
Music when it's good and life
And I love you too

 

[Bonzi]

Maybe we'll never be seen together
At night on a crowded street
I may never reach across your body
And kill the light when you're asleep
Maybe I'll never watch you dressing
Or sound too familiar on the phone
But I can touch your hand that's against me
And take that moment home
That's as close as I'll get to loving you
Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do
I can dream, I can hope, I can see but still I know
That's as close as I'll get to loving you

 

[baileyn45]

Where is the sun?
The sun that used to shine on me
Where has it gone?
Or is it just a memory?

I looked through the window
Staring at the sky
Waiting for a moment
That always passed me by

[QuickHitCurepon]

Love hurts
Love scars
Love wounds and marks
Any heart not tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud, it holds a lot of rain
Love hurts,
Ooo-oo love hurts

 

[Bonzi]

Yes, I've hurt your pride, and I know
What you've been through
You should give me a chance
This can't be the end
I'm still loving you

 

[Bonzi]

Ooh, baby, anytime my world gets crazy
All I have to do
to calm it,
Is just think of you
'Cause when I think of you, baby,
Nothin' else seems to matter
