Great lines from a song!

[Johnny Vinyl]

We all have songs we identify with and that sometimes hold special meaning, and then there are songs that include a line that just grabs you out of the blue. I'd like to know what lines you've heard that stand out. I'll give you two I can think of at the moment:

Annie Lennox - Cold : "I want to swim in the pools of your eyes".
Don Henley - Wasted Time: "Maybe someday we will find, that it wasn't really wasted time".

 

[JackD201]

"But what's a man without a past
We love him for his lies
and then we try to break him down to make it last"

Tina Dico - Room with a View

"An angel led me when I was blind
I said take me back, I've changed my mind
Now I believe"

Depeche Mode - Suffer Well

"To follow it you must be clean,
with mistakes that you do mean"

Peter Murphy - Cuts you Up

 

[Johnny Vinyl]

That's an interesting one.....female perception or truth?

 

[JackD201]

Probably both, John.

I like this one too.

"I want to get on with getting on with things
I want to run in fields, paint the kitchen, and love someone
And I can't do any of that here, can I?
First train home, I've got to get on it."

Imogen Heap - First Train Home

no, im not a tranny but its a classic...

Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"
He said, "Hey honey, take a walk on the wild side"

LOU REED - WALK ON THE WILD SIDE

Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"
He said, "Hey honey, take a walk on the wild side"

LOU REED - WALK ON THE WILD SIDE

The b-side of that single (Perfect Day) had infinitely better lyrics and everything else, except baseline.

Is that song politically correct anymore?

"And the coloured girls go

Do da do da do da do do do"
