Best song lyric line

[wrong hole]

When the still sea conspires an armor
And her sullen and aborted
Currents breed tiny monsters,
True sailing is dead

Awkward instant
And the first animal is jettisoned,
Legs furiously pumping
Their stiff green gallop,
And head bob up
Poise
Delicate
Pause
Consent
In mute nostril agony
Carefully refined
And sealed over

 

[nautilus]

Went down to the cemetary lookin' for love
Got there and my baby was buried I had to dig her up

 

[t8rs]

"(This bed is on fire with passion and love
The neighbours complain about the noises above)
But she only comes when she's on top"
-laid, James

My Monty Python favourite:
"Sit on my face, and tell me that you love me"

"You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave"
-Is it really necessary to say what song this is from?

 

[penguin_jf]

Geez!! Wasn't this supposed to be the best LINE???? Not the whole freaking lyric?? Focus people!!

"Meet the new boss - same as the old boss"

Pete Townsend

 

[tillithurts]

"One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces"

Careful with that axe Eugene (I think)
-- Pink Floyd

 

[havingfun]

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death

Pink Floyd

 

[Meesh]

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life I know you will be the sun in somebody else's sky but why why why can't it be can't it be mine? Black by Pearl Jam

 

[james t kirk]

The story of my life.


One by U2..........


Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame

You say
One love
One life
When it`s one need
In the night

It's one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you don`t care for it

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Well it`s too late
Tonight
To drag the past out
Into the light
We`re one
But we`re not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other

One

Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head

Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it`s all I got

We`re one
But we`re not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again

You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher love
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can`t be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should

One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers

One life
But we`re not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other

One

One

Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans.

Some snippets I love (sometimes a line ain't enough ;-)...

It's time for their burden the whip and the spur
Will she ride with him or will he ride with her
So she binds herself to her galloping steed
And he binds himself to the woman in need
And there is no space just left and right
And there is no time but there is day and night
And she leans on his neck and whispers low
Whither thou goest I will go
- Leonard Cohen

This old porch is just a long time
Of waiting and forgetting
And remembering the coming back
And not crying about the leaving
And remembering the falling down
And the laughter of the curse of luck
From all of those sons-of-bitches
Who said we'd never get back up
- Lyle Lovett and REK

Living on the road my friend,
is gonna keep you free and clean
Now you wear your skin like iron,
Your breath as hard as kerosene.
- TVZ

You know, some people got no choice
and they can't never find a voice
to talk with that they can even call their own
So the first thing that they see
that allows them the right to be
why they follow it, you know, it's called bad luck
- Lou Reed

"I guess being in love is like being insane...." Kim Mitchell- Easy to Tame

 

[Paul Waters]

Take me now, baby, here as I am
Hold me close, try to understand
Desire is hunger, it's the fire I breath
Love is the banquet on which I feed.

Patti Smith (and Bruce Springstein)

These bloodless brides of Jesus
If they had just once glimpsed their groom
Then they'd know and they'd drop the stones
Concealed behind their rosaries
They wilt the grass they walk upon
They leech the light out of a room
They'd like to drive us down the drain
At the Magdalene laundries

Joni Mitchell

 

[Stumpy]

And you come to me
On a Submarine...

How Deep Is Your Love - The Bee Gees.

(Ok, it isn't the correct words, but trying to explain that to a friend while laughing so hard your drink comes out your nose, well, that's a GREAT line!)

 

[Max Webster]

Canadian too!

Don’t the hours grow shorter as the days go by
We never get to stop and open our eyes
One minute you’re waiting for the sky to fall
Next you’re dazzled by the beauty of it all.

Lovers in a dangerous time…

These fragile bodies of touch and taste.
This fragrant skin, this hair like lace.
Spirits open to the thrust of grace.
Never a breath we can afford to waste.

Lovers in a dangerous time…

Bruce Cockburn.

 

[ontariomalelook]

This is a pretty new song, but lately as I have been "searching" for that someone specail and thought I had found her, this song took on a whole new meaning. The one line I love from it is.

"WAKE ME UP INSIDE"
by "evesense"

That pretty much says it all in the situation of looking or searching for that someone specail.

 

[champ]

Hope I get this right ...

" She watches reruns while they drag the lake"

[Mufflicker]

Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
I'll play the game and pretend.
But all my words come back to me
In shades of mediocrity
