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

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.

Re: Favourite song lyrics/lines


I like the Blood, Sweat and Tears song "And When I Die".
Two of the lines are:

I swear there ain't no heaven
And I pray there ain't no hell

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


Sonnie

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


A couple of lines from Tom Petty's "Crawling Back to You", a tune on Wildflowers.

Quote:
I'm so tired of being tired
Sure as night will follow day
Most things I worry about
Never happen anyway
Been there, Tom, been there.

Re: Favourite song lyrics/lines


Can't forget the late Warren Zevon:

"Looking For The Next Best Thing"

Quote:
(That's why I'm) Looking for the next best thing
Looking for the next best thing
I appreciate the best
But I'm settling for less
'Cause I'm looking for the next best thing
Or "Detox Mansion"

Quote:
Well, I'm gone to Detox Mansion
Way down on Last Breath Farm
I've been rakin' leaves with Liza
Me and Liz clean up the yard

Left my home in Music City
In the back of a limousine
Now I'm doin' my own laundry
And I'm getting those clothes clean

Growin' fond of Detox Mansion
And this quiet life I lead
But I'm dying to tell my story
For all my friends to read

Well, it's tough to be somebody
And it's hard not to fall apart
Up here on Rehab Mountain
We gonna learn these things by heart

Well, I'm gone to Detox Mansion
Way down on Last Breath Farm
I've been rakin' leaves with Liza
Me and Liz clean up the yard

What goes on in Detox Mansion
Outside the rubber room
We get therapy and lectures
We play golf in the afternoon

Well, it's tough to be somebody
And it's hard not to fall apart
Up here on Rehab Mountain
We gonna learn these things by heart


The boy could be a tad sarcastic. (Dad was a Russian Mobster, mom was a Mormon, what do you expect?)

Re: Favourite song lyrics/lines


...but he wasn't always sarcastic....

"Reconsider Me" by Warren Zevon

Quote:
If you're all alone
And you need someone
Call me up
And I'll come running
Reconsider me
Reconsider me

If it's still the past
That makes you doubt
Darlin', that was then
And this is now
Reconsider me
Reconsider me

And I'll never make you sad again
Cause I swear that I've changed since then
And I promise that I'll never make you cry

Let's let bygones
Be forgotten
Reconsider me
Reconsider me

You can go and be
What you want to be
And it'll be alright
If we disagree
I'm the one who cares
And I hope you'll see
That I'm the one who loves you
Reconsider me

Let's let bygones
Be forgotten
Reconsider me
Reconsider me

And I'll never make you sad again
'Cause I swear I've changed since then
And I'll never make you sorry if you'll try
And I'll never make you sad again
'Cause I swear that I've changed since then
And I promise that I'll never make you cry

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.
