OT: Best line in a song

“In the garden I was playing the tart, I kissed your lips and broke your heart”

Not expecting anyone else to know the song or the line (other than Owt), and I don’t even know what it means. But I always liked it. :confused:

“We met as soulmates on Parris Island, We left as inmates from an asylum” - Billy Joel

(He may have been singing about this board) :D

That whole song is a great lyric


Also...

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time. Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines. Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way. The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say.

-Pink Floyd

Not much of what you say makes any sense
Cook up some myths then ask for obedience
Even though you mean well, well, most of the time
You've aided delusion and created bias in our minds

-Jose Gonzalez, "Abram"

You looked right through me, there was no one else
I sat beside you and became myself

-Joshua Radin, "Today"


 
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.
“I still remember the 35 sweet goodbyes when you put me on the Wolverines up to Annandale.”

Best description of a sexual act in Rock and Roll history.
 
I saw the surprise and fear in his eyes .
When i took his glass of champagne .

And I toasted you said honey we may be through.
But you'll never hear me complain .
 
The girls all get prettier at closing time
They all begin to look like movie stars
The girls all get prettier at closing time
When the change starts taking place
It puts a glow on every face
Of the falling angels of the back street bars.

If I could rate 'em on a scale from 1 to 10
I'm lookin' for a 9 but 8 would slip right in
A few more drinks and I might slip to a 5 or even a 4
But when tomorrow morning comes,
And I wake up with a number 1
I swear I'll never do it anymore

Went home with a secretary
Woke up with Secretariat .

Is that from a song or did I make that one up ? Lol .
 
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 is easy, Dan Hicks song
"How can I miss you when you won't go away?" That is the song I played at the end of every night when I DJ'd at Peter's Pub.
 
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.
Fantastic


“Methodist coloring book” is one my favorites
 
Seattle is rather fond of flannel
Rice-a-Roni is the San Francisco treat
Las Vegas is full of drugs and hookers
but Las Vegas is too far away for me
Philadelphia's full of jerks and assholes
Florida's where they all will move to die
But I'll be getting drunk for seven dollars
In a classy little joint on the Southside

Pittsburgh makes me drunk and that's a fact
And every time I leave, I'm sure I won't be welcome back
Well, I rave and rant and I lose my pants and it always ends the same
Pittsburgh makes me drunk and then it rains
Pittsburgh makes me drunk and then it rains

I love that band and that line because as a drunken college kid-
To make sure I wouldn’t drive drunk- I’d just take my pants off with the keys in them.

And the one guy would wear a Pitt flag as a kilt

One for the country fans from The Voice...Vern Gosdin

That just about does it...don't it
That'll just about kill it...won't it

Maybe we should call a truce
We could..but what's the use

That just about does it...don't it

and from Simon and Garfunkle

and the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls..
and tenement halls...
 
Is there gas in the car?
Yes, there’s gas in the car
I think the people down the hall know who you are
 
Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin'
We could dream this night away.

But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night.

Harvest Moon

There is a limited playlist of songs that should be played only at night - around a fire pit or a camp fire - and “Harvest Moon” is one of those songs.

I wear black on the outside
'Cause black is how I feel on the inside

And if I seem a little strange.
Well, that's because I am

Unloveable, The Smiths (the lines are sequential, but different verses, so it doesn't flow in this context, but both are so great I included both)

Morrissey was one messed up dude. His lyrics were certainly his way of telling the world.

Not his most provocative words, but how could we forget these:

I’m so very sickened
Oh, i am so sickened now
Still, it was a good lay, good lay
It was a good lay, good lay
It was a good lay, good lay
Ah...
Still, it was a good lay, good lay
It was a good lay, good lay
It was a good lay, good lay
A good lay, ah...
Oh, it was a good lay
It was a good lay
It was a good lay
Oh, it was a good lay
Good lay, good lay

25 years later, i’m just glad my kids never asked me while listening to the song in the car , “what does that mean, Dad?”
