What's your favorite Lyric?

TheFearDrone	Date: April 13, 2005 @ 2:05 PM Favorite, single-line lyric... One of my favs "....he wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown" -Paul Simon, "Slip Sliding Away"
zedsalt	Date: April 14, 2005 @ 1:38 PM That IS a great line. I couldn't possibly pick a favorite. Having said that, my fave quattrain in all of the rock idiom MIGHT be: "I...feel... sharp as a razor blade tight as a tourniquet dry as a funeral drum" -the inimitable Roger Waters
Hatsy	Date: April 14, 2005 @ 5:12 PM Bravo! For both of the above 'Well with buckshot eyes and a purple heart I rolled down the national stroll, and with a big fat paycheck strapped to my hip sack and a shore leave wristwatch underneath my sleeve in a Hong Kong drizzle on Cuban heels I rowed down the gutter to the Blood Bank and I'd left all my papers on the Ticonderoga and I was in bad need of a shave...' Shore Leave by Tom Waits, from the Swordfishtrombones album
Hatsy	Date: April 16, 2005 @ 7:25 PM 'I walk around inside the questions of my day, I navigate the inner reaches of my disarray, I pass the altars where fools and thieves hold sway, I wait for night to come and lift this dread away' Jackson Browne, the song 'Night In My Eyes' from the 'Naked Ride Home' album.
BOWILLIE	Date: April 16, 2005 @ 11:25 PM everybody seems to think im lazy.. i don't mind.. i think they're crazy..running everywhere at such a speed..till they find..theres no need..(im only sleeping..lennon/mccartney)
Hatsy	Date: April 17, 2005 @ 6:38 AM 'Well my baby's so fine even her car looks good from behind' - 'Boom' Tom Waits from the Real Gone album.

SephirothXer0	Date: July 16, 2005 @ 12:06 AM "Ground Control to Major Tom, your circuit's dead! There's something wrong! Can you hear me Major Tom? Can you hear me Major Tom? Can you hear me Major Tom? Can you..." ~Space Oddity, David Bowie
HenriRoger	Date: July 16, 2005 @ 4:22 AM "God only knows what i'd be without you" .Beach Boys. As for a french guy, music and the sounds of the words in English are more important then the lyrics We sometimes also love stupid songs hahaha . This one is one of my fav pop song ever .
pancreaspuppet	Date: July 16, 2005 @ 4:41 AM "And he can't remember waking up, So he refuses to believe that he ever was asleep, And he's exhausted. He sits under a tree, feeding the birds, And hoping for something in return." Something for Kate - "Feeding the Birds And Hoping for Something in Return"
rhthesinner	Date: July 16, 2005 @ 4:42 AM The meaning behind this line went straight over my head when I first heard the song in my youth. But now - ! "I keep your picture on the wall It hides a nasty stain that's lying there..." I'm Not In Love - 10CC
pancreaspuppet	Date: July 16, 2005 @ 4:43 AM Oops, just read the bit saying "single line lyric" Sorry 'bout that.
rhthesinner	Date: July 16, 2005 @ 4:44 AM that song pancreas!
Alexsy	Date: July 18, 2005 @ 7:24 PM 'and the people bowed and prayed, to the neon god they made ...' simon and garfunkel. poetry with music.
just2ska	Date: July 19, 2005 @ 10:29 PM "the goals of many tend to leave them empty or just shut them up with vcr memories" - gruvis malt. www.myspace.com/gruvismalt
mrjonnyd	Date: July 29, 2005 @ 6:26 PM Patience, pleasures and rewards, come in due time stare at the sun I'm bored in a life meaningless soaking up all of me like the cross you worship life is loss look at me I'm sure that some day we'll wake up I'm sure that some day we'll wake from the dream
joshmerfi	Date: July 29, 2005 @ 6:29 PM right now my favorite line is "I'm just a notch in your bed post but you're just a line in a song." fall out boy - sugar we're going down
Firefly	Date: July 29, 2005 @ 10:27 PM "if you've lost your faith in love and music the end won't be long"
BOWILLIE	Date: July 29, 2005 @ 10:44 PM a seed is waiting in the earth for rain to come and give it birth its all it really needs to set it free..
kyodylee	Date: July 29, 2005 @ 11:06 PM "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together." ...
redrasta	Date: July 29, 2005 @ 11:16 PM "Bottles that tumble and crash on the stairs, are like so many friends that I knew never cared" Wonderful use of words by David Sylvian.
kingo	Date: July 30, 2005 @ 8:44 AM "Whiskey don't make liars, it just makes fools... so I didn't mean to say it, but I meant what I said." - James McMurtry, "Too Long in the Wasteland"
zedsalt	Date: July 30, 2005 @ 1:14 PM David Sylvian is the writer of my favorite Rock song about steeplechase. Too long in the wasteland's what made me this way.
chrismacmanus	Date: July 30, 2005 @ 1:20 PM Great choices here! Paul Simon was one of the greatest lyricists, I do think he kinda lost it though, he's not done anything particularly ground-breaking or poetic in years. "Hey, it's the sun, and it makes me shine" - The Polyphonic Spree. I've a hangover and it's cold, wet and windy outside, gotta think of something positive
idealist	Date: July 30, 2005 @ 3:46 PM take these sunken eyes and learn to see. All your life you were only waiting for this moment to be free. Blackbird - the white album(i think) the beatles
faynt	Date: July 31, 2005 @ 4:27 PM 'life is our's, we live it our way' -- Metallica good words to live by.
Intergalacti...	Date: July 31, 2005 @ 4:47 PM 'I left my heart on my other sleeve' i know its kinda biased because its one of my own but I still like it
