Best Song Quote.

[Lee Marvin]

The movie quote thread was very fun and it could/may go on forever.
I want to hear your favourite lines from a song that speak to you.
Your most poignant, evocative song lyrics please.

My favourite, number one, quote from a song is from Paul Simon:
He sings "Sometimes, even music, can not substitute for tears."

any one want to play?

All I knew and all I believed
are crumbling images
that no longer comfort me.
I scramble to reach higher ground,
some order and sanity,
or something to comfort me.

So I take what is mine,and hold what is mine,
suffocate what is mine, and bury what's mine.
Soon the water will come
and claim what is mine.
I must leave it behind,
and climb to a new place now.

This ground is not the rock I thought it to be.

Thought I was high, and free.
I thought I was there
divine destiny.

I was wrong.
This changes everything.

The water is rising up on me.
Thought the sun would come deliver me,
but the truth has come to punish me instead.

You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?

[Ms Erica Phoenix]

Looking from a window above
it's like a story of love: Can you hear me?
Came back only yesterday, moving further away
Want you near me.
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew: only you.

[Man Mountain]

In the Air Tonight

Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin,
I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies

Not claiming it's the best ever but these always get my attention when they happen by on random rotation (as they did recently)...

I was speeding on the subway
Through the stations of the cross
Every eye looking every other way
Counting down 'til the pain will stop

At the moment of surrender
Of vision of over visibility
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me

 

[PierreCoeur]

Give it to me Baby uh huh uh huh

 

[Robert Upndown]

May not be the best, but I can remember being in a smokie room and listening to this

"You're breakin' my heart You're tearing it apart So fuck you"

 

[paprides]

When I get to heaven, tie me to a tree or i'll begin to roam and soon you know where i will be.

Mmmbop, ba duba dop

I come from a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder

She really worked me over good.
She was a credit to her gender.

Safe sex is great sex
Better wear that latex
Before you get that late text
That "I think I'm late" text

It's enough to make you think right now, but you don't bother"

"What's the principal doin' with her?
Who's that guy is he screwin' with her?
What's her perfume? Tigress by Faberge
She makes me cream my jeans when she comes my way

[golferjohn]

Can't waste a day when the night brings a hearse
So make a move and plead the fifth 'cause ya can't plead the first
Can't waste a day when the night brings a hearse
So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun
These people ain't seen a brown skin man
Since their grandparents bought one
