| Favourite song lyrics/lines Reading through Tiddler's great thread 'Ten Bands or Artists you don't know' and the ensuing discussion as to what makes music attractive to different people I decided to start this thread. Song lyrics are very important to me and the idea here is just to list or post lyrics that have some meaning to you or are just great lines. To get the ball rolling, so to speak here are some of my favourite song lines. 'I married my wife on the day of the eclipse, her friends rewarded her courage with gifts' The Sorrowful Wife by Nick Cave. 'Into the mercy seat I climb My head is shaved, my head is wired And like a moth that tries To enter the bright eye I go shuffling out of life Just to hide in death awhile And anyway I never lied.' The Mercy Seat by Nick Cave. 'Just a boy and a little girl Trying to change the whole wide world Isolation The world is just a little town Everybody trying to put us down Isolation.' Isolation by John Lennon. 'When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years Then they expect you to pick a career When you can't really function you're so full of fear A working class hero is something to be' Working Class Hero by John Lennon. 'The piano has been drinking, my necktie is asleep And the combo went back to New York, the jukebox has to take a leak And the carpet needs a haircut, and the spotlight looks like a prison break And the telephone's out of cigarettes, and the balcony is on the make And the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking...' The piano has been drinking by Tom Waits. 1995 2007 | ||||

| Re: Favourite song lyrics/lines One of my favorites is the Eagles, Get Over It..."I'd like to find your inner child and kick its little rear, get over it, get over it." I was tempted to make it my sig on another forum, but figured it would just stir the pot too much. Note that we have now begun moving vendors to the new pull down option at the top of the forum pages. You will find it between "Shack Shopping" and "Glossary". This will represent a great improvement in the vendor reference database, making it easier than ever to find what you are looking for. Contact me with any suggested entries, category recommendations, or additional information about the vendors that we have. If you are a vendor and want your company listed, there is an option to provide us with the information. | ||||

| Re: Favourite song lyrics/lines Pink Floyd - Brain Damage The lunatic is on the grass The lunatic is on the grass remembering games and daisy chains and laughs got to keep the loonies on the path The lunatic is in the hall the lunatics are in the hall the paper holds their folded faces to the floor and every day the paper boy brings more And if the dam breaks open many years too soon and if there is no room upon the hill and if your head explodes with dark forebodings too I'll see you on the dark side of the moon The lunatic is in my head The lunatic is in my head you raise the blade, you make the change you rearrange me ' till I'm sane you lock the door and throw away the key there's someone in my head but it's not me And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear you shout and no one seems to hear and if the band you're in starts playing different tunes I'll see you on the dark side of the moon | ||||

| Re: Favourite song lyrics/lines IT CAME OUT OF THE SKY Words and music by John Fogerty Oh, It Came Out Of The Sky, landed just a little south of Moline. Jody fell out of his tractor, couldn't b'lieve what he seen. Laid on the ground and shook, fearin' for his life. Then he ran all the way to town screamin' "It Came Out Of The Sky." Well, a crowd gathered 'round and a scientist said it was marsh gas. Spiro came and made a speech about raising the Mars tax. The Vatican said, "Woe, the Lord has come". Hollywood rushed out an epic film. And Ronnie the Popular said it was a communist plot. Oh, the newspapers came and made Jody a national hero. Walter and Eric said they'd put him on a network T.V. show. The White House said, "Put the thing in the Blue Room". The Vatican said, "No, it belongs to Rome." And Jody said, "It's mine and you can have it for seventeen million." Oh, It Came Out Of The Sky, landed just a little south of Moline. Jody fell out of his tractor, couldn't b'lieve what he seen. Laid on the ground a shakin', fearin' for his life. Then he ran all the way to town screamin' "It Came Out Of The Sky."

| Re: Favourite song lyrics/lines Some of my favorite lyrics have been Steely Dan songs. Stuff like "Any Major Dude..." and "The Royal Scam" in the twisted kind of reality that Fagan projects, always kept my interest. Mush of their later stuff got to be too self-indulgent without the context of fantastic productions and talented studio help bores me. The early few albums had some lyrical gems, of the caliber of many of the songs discussed above. Note that we have now begun moving vendors to the new pull down option at the top of the forum pages.

| Re: Favourite song lyrics/lines Rush- Free Will There are those who think that life Has nothing left to chance With a host of holy horrors To direct our aimless dance A planet of playthings We dance on the strings Of powers we cannot perceive The stars arent aligned --- Or the gods are malign Blame is better to give than receive You can choose a ready guide In some celestial voice If you choose not to decide You still have made a choice You can choose from phantom fears And kindness that can kill I will choose a path thats clear I will choose free will There are those who think that theyve been dealt a losing hand The cards were stacked against them --- They werent born in lotus-land All preordained A prisoner in chains A victim of venomous fate Kicked in the face You cant pray for a place In heavens unearthly estate Each of us A cell of awareness Imperfect and incomplete Genetic blends With uncertain ends On a fortune hunt Thats far too fleet... Think about it, Robert | ||||

| Re: Favourite song lyrics/lines Maybe not as oldschool as most of what was posted before me but I really enjoy the lyrics to a lot of Tool songs. My all time favorite has got to be Reflection. The song is actually quite long and is mostly instrumentals. Quote:
