OT: Best line in a song

[California Panther]

I like the way your sparkling earrings lay
Against your skin, it's so brown
And I wanna sleep with you in the desert tonight
With a billion stars all around

 

[California Panther]

She stood there bright as the sun on that California coast
He was a Midwestern boy on his own
She looked at him with those soft eyes so innocent and blue
He knew right then he was too far from home

 

[HOF Coach]

"I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning,
Very, very frightening me.
(Galileo) Galileo.
(Galileo) Galileo,
Galileo Figaro
Magnifico-o-o-o-o."

--Queen

And little Early-birdy came by in his curly-wurly and asked me
if I needed a ride

 

[rpastir]

Watch her walk

I’m so bummed that he’s not here to make any more music...so sad.

[anon_vmuicqnzlyp3u]

Was just listening to an old Kinks tune . I think it's "Talk to you later" .
One line cracks me up . In the song he moves in with girl and it doesn't end like he thought .
"Well it's been 6 months . She hasn't shut up once ."
Pretty funny lyric .

Anyone else have a favorite ?

That's the Tubes song

 

[joeydavid]

Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this, we were both butt naked
Banging on the bathroom floor
How could I forget that I had given her an extra key
All this time she was standing there
She never took her eyes off me

You know what, Stuart, I like you. You're not like the other
People, here, in the trailer park.

Oh, don't go get me wrong. They're fine people, they're
Good Americans. But they're content to sit back, maybe
Watch a little Mork and Mindy on channel 57, maybe kick
Back a cool, Coors 16-ouncer. They're good, fine people,
Stuart. But they don't know... What the queers are doing
To the soil!

You know that Jonny Wurster kid, the kid that delivers papers
In the neighborhood. He's a foreign kid. Some of the neighbors
Say he smokes crack, but I don't believe it.

1. "Come senators, congressmen
   Please heed the call
   Don't stand in the doorway
   Don't block up the hall
   For he that gets hurt
   Will be he who has stalled
   There's a battle outside
   And it is ragin'.
   It'll soon shake your windows
   And rattle your walls
   For the times they are a-changin'."

--Bob Dylan

My favorite line from Dylan is the classic put down line from "Positively 4th street".

Yeah I wish that for just one time
you could stand inside my shoes

You'd know what a drag it is
to see you.

I've got a few:

From "the River" by Springsteen:

"Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse"

or from "The Walk" by Mayer Hawthorne:

"From the moment that I met you I thought you were fine, so fine
But your shitty ****in' attitude got me changin my mind"

followed by:

"You've been chuckin' me around but, I kept my eyes shut, yeah
'Cause your shaped like an hourglass but I think your time's up"

"cause every girl crazy bout a sharp dressed man" Haha

I ain't never been with a woman long enough, for my boots to get old We've been together so long now they both need to be sewed
If I ever settle down you'd be my kind
And it's a good time for me to head on down the line


Marshall Tucker Band



Could've been the whiskey It might have been the gin
Could have been the three or four six packs, I don't know
But look at the mess I'm in
My head is like a football
I think I'm going to die
Tell me, me oh, me oh my
Wasn't that a party


The Rovers

 

[RaleighPittFan]

It's just the normal noises in here

 

[Franb]

The hungry and the hunted
Explode into rock and roll bands,

They face off against each other out in the street

Down in Jungleland

(The greatest song ever written)

Or this:

Baby this town rips the bones from your back
Its a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
'cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

 

[Panther Parrothead]

For Christmas songs, these lyrics are tough to beat:

Mary did you know that your baby boy would one day walk on water?
Mary did you know that your baby boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered, will soon deliver you?

Mary did you know that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little baby, you kiss the face of God?

 

[Panther Parrothead]

And there’s these from Kacey Musgraves:

If you ain't got two kids by 21,
You're probably gonna die alone
At least that's what tradition told you

And it don't matter if you don't believe,
Come Sunday morning you best be there
In the front row, like you're s'posed to

Same hurt in every heart
Same trailer, different park

Mama’s hooked on Mary Kay
Brother’s hooked on Mary Jane
And Daddy’s hooked on Mary two doors down

 

[McKee Place]

I ain't never been with a woman long enough, for my boots to get old We've been together so long now they both need to be sewed
If I ever settle down you'd be my kind
And it's a good time for me to head on down the line


Marshall Tucker Band



Could've been the whiskey It might have been the gin
Could have been the three or four six packs, I don't know
But look at the mess I'm in
My head is like a football
I think I'm going to die
Tell me, me oh, me oh my
Wasn't that a party

They was talking about hockey. The cat was talking BACK...

Sitting on a park bench
Eying little girls with bad intent
Snots running down his nose
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes, hey, Holgorsen

So you see, Your Honor It was all in fun

The little bitty track meet down on main street Was just to see if the cops could run

 

[Zeldas Open Roof]

So you're scared and you're thinking that maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty but, hey, you're alright
Oh, and that's alright with me

Early one morning while makin' the rounds
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my baby down
I shot her down then I went to bed
I stuck that lovin' forty-four beneath my head

 

[RaleighPittFan]

Fat bottomed girls, you make the rockin' world go 'round

 

[Panther Parrothead]

And one more:

I was supposed to have been a Jesuit priest, or a Naval Academy grad,
That was the way that my parents perceived me:
Those were the plans that they had.

But I couldn't fit the part, too dumb or too smart —
Ain’t it funny how we all turned out?
I guess we are the people our parents warned us about....

 

[shrugginatlas]

Please don't confront me with my failures---I had not forgotten them.

Won't you look at me? I'm crazy, but I get the job done.

When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose.

Favorite actor? Dennehy. Favorite drink? Odouls.
Bears; Hawks; Sox; Bulls.

You been telling me you're a genius since you were seventeen
In all the time I've known you, I still don't know what you mean
The weekend at the college didn't turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge? I can't understand.

Everything in its right place.
