What are your faviourite lines from songs?

Answer 1

"Oh, are you questioning your size?
Is there a tumour in your humour?
Are there bags under your eyes?
Do you leave dents where you sit?
Are you getting on a bit?
We must survive. We must survive."

Robbie Williams

Always makes me laugh.

Also love the words to Oasis's "She's Electric", and Arctic Monkeys, "Mardy Bum".

"Now then Mardy Bum,
I've seen your frown and it's like looking down
The barrel of a gun.
And it goes off.
And out come all these words..."

Class.

Answer 2

"This must be the Place" - Talking Heads
Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me round
I feel numb - burn with a weak heart
(So I) guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground
Head in the sky
It's ok I know nothing's wrong . . nothing

"Absolute Beginners" - The Jam
I lost some hours thinking of it
I need the strength to go and get what I want
I lost a lifetime thinking of it
an' lost an era daydreaming like I do

"Marlena on the wall" - Suzanne Vega
Marlene watches from the wall
her mocking smile says it all
as she records the rise and fall
of every man who's been here
But the only one here now is me
I'm fighting things I cannot see
I think it's called my destiny
that I am changing
Marlene on the wall

"Ironbound/Fancy Poultry" - Suzanne Vega
The beams and bridges cut the light on the ground
into little triangles and the rails run round
through the rust and the heat
the light and sweet coffee color of her skin

(And cheers to David 1 above for quoting one of my favorite Nick Drake songs)

Answer 3

"I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like, it's got a basket. a bell that rings and things to make it look good. I'd give it to you if I could, but i borrowed it"

" A police car and a screaming siren, pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete. a baby wailing, stray dog howling, the screech of brakes and a lamp light blinking. That's entertainment, That's entertainment"

"Ashes to ashes, funk to funky, we know major Tom's a junkie, strung out in heavens high, hitting an all time low"

"I never felt magic crazy as this. I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea, I never held emotion in the palm of my hand, or felt sweet breezes at the top of a tree..But now your here, Brighten my northern sky."

Answer 4

Favorite chorus of all time:
"On a Sunday mornin' sidewalk, I'm wishing to Lord that I was stoned, cuz there's something in a Sunday that makes a body feel alone. And there's nothing short of dying, that's half as lonesome as the sound of a sleeping city sidewalk. Sunday morning coming down."
Kris Kristofferson

Answer 5

And in the naked light I saw, Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening,
People writing songs, that voices never share.
And no one dared, Disturb the sound of silence.

Sounds of Silence - Simon and Garfunkel

I got nicotine stains on my fingers.
I got a silver spoon on a chain.
Got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains.
I've got wild, staring eyes.
And I got a strong urge to fly,
But I got nowhere to fly to

Nobody Home - Pink Floyd

Answer 6

Theres a club where you like to go
Where you can meet somebody who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home and you crya nd you wanna die

How Soon is Now? - The Smiths

Answer 7

Your socks smell of angels
But your life smells of Brie

fom Don't Marry Her by The Beautiful South

Answer 8

There is a black river
that passes by my window
and late at night
all dressed up like christ
I walk the water
between the piers
