Just wondered what were some of the great lines from songs from the past.

 

One of my favourites is from Joe Walsh ...Life's been good

 

"I go to parties sometimes until four, It's hard to leave when you can't find the door" :D

"cut mince pies from childrens thighs, which to feed the fairies" - boys of bedlam, traditional folk song :)

"Oh why don't we play cards for her, he sneeringly replied. And just to make it interesting we'll have a shilling on the side"

 

Ernie - The Fastest Milkman in the West

 

Norma

"the being known as wondergirl is speaking i believe" monkees - alternate title.

'Had my share of nightmares didn't think there could be much more, then in walked Roderick Usher with the Lady Eleanor'

 

Lady Eleanor (obviously) - Lindisfarne

 

Norma

 

I really do like that Joe Walsh lyric though! I used to have that album and lent it to someone ... never got it back!

can i post a whole songs lyrics?..

 

i just think that this is a beautiful bit of poetry

 

donovan - catch the wind

 

"In the chilly hours and minutes,

Of uncertainty, I want to be,

In the warm hold of your loving mind.

 

To feel you all around me,

And to take your hand, along the sand,

Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

 

When sundown pales the sky,

I wanna hide a while, behind your smile,

And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find.

 

For me to love you now,

Would be the sweetest thing, 'twould make me sing,

Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind.

 

When rain has hung the leaves with tears,

I want you near, to kill my fears

To help me to leave all my blues behind.

 

For standin' in your heart,

Is where I want to be, and I long to be,

Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind."

 

 

Ooooh Rob! You big softie!

 

Nice lyrics though.

 

Norma

I'd go for my favourite lyrics from Super Furry Animals 'It's Not The End of the World'

 

"Turn all the hate in the world into a Mockingbird - make it fly away."

Now the first day that I met ya

I was looking in the sky

When the sun turned all a blur

And the thunderclouds rolled by

The sea began to shiver

And the wind began to moan

It must've been a sign for me

To leave you well alone

I was born without you, baby

But my feelings were a little bit too strong

 

You never said you love me

And I don't believe you can

'Cause I saw you in a dream

And you were with another man

You looked so cool and casual

And I tried to look the same

But now I've got to love ya

Tell me who am I to blame?

I was born without you, baby

But my feelings were a little bit too strong

 

Now the whole wide world is movin'

'Cause there's iron in my heart

I just can't keep from cryin'

'Cause you say we've got to part

Sorrow grips my voice as I stand here all alone

And watch you slowly take away

A love I've never known

I was born without you, baby

But my feelings were a little bit too strong

Just a little bit too strong
