What are your favourite lines from a song ?

Lyndylou. Girl after my own heart. Needs to be sung or played loudly. Bruuuuuuce.

I could drink a case of you.

Melt.

"I didn't lose my mind, it was mine to give away".

Love the Joni Mitchell and Dr Hook ones.

"And the sun poured in like butterscotch and stuck to all my senses"....ONE of my favourite lines by Joni Mitchell, but definitely not the only one!

Full lyrics of Chelsea Morning:

Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the first thing that I heard
Was a song outside my window, and the traffic wrote the words
It came a-reeling up like Christmas bells and rapping up like pipes and drums
Oh, won't you stay
We'll put on the day
And we'll wear it 'till the night comes
Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the first thing that I saw
Was the sun through yellow curtains, and a rainbow on the wall
Blue, red, green and gold to welcome you, crimson crystal beads to beckon
Oh, won't you stay
We'll put on the day
There's a sun show every second
Now the curtain opens on a portrait of today
And the streets are paved with passersby
And pigeons fly
And papers lie
Waiting to blow away
Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the first thing that I knew
There was milk and toast and honey and a bowl of oranges, too
And the sun poured in like butterscotch and stuck to all my senses
Oh, won't you stay
We'll put on the day
And we'll talk in present tenses
When the curtain closes and the rainbow runs away
I will bring you incense owls by night
By candlelight
By jewel-light
If only you will stay
Pretty baby, won't you
Wake up, it's a Chelsea morning

Do they know where hell is?
He'll is in hello
Heaven is in goodbye my friend
It's time for me to go...
I was born under a wondering star?

Everything passes, everything changes,
Just do what you think you should do,
And some day, maybe,
Who knows, baby,
I'll come and be crying to you.

If it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at aaalll.

I treasure your love,
I never wanna lose it.
You’ve been through the fires of hell
And I know you’ve got the ashes to prove it.

Landslide by Fleetwood Mac

But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm gettin' older, too

You’ve got to be taught to hate and fear
(You've got to be carefully taught - from South Pacific)

and

Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago?

Another Madness line:

Mother's tired she needs a rest, the kids are playing up downstairs.

The line that gets me every time is from Duran Duran's "Ordinary World"

'Where is my friend when I need you most?'

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Oh yes Bubbles the master and you got me singing

There's a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.
Leonard Cohen

It's a wonnderfu lworld

Mine is French and I shall attempt to translate them. "Ne me quitte pas " by Jacques Brel...

Moi je t'offrirai
Des perles de pluie
Venues de pays où il ne pleut pas

I would offer you rain pearls [raindrops] that come from a country where it never rains.

Aaaaah. One of my favourite songs of all time.

Spot on Baubles. I couldn't remember the preceding two lines

"There's something in the way she moves...attracts me like no other lover. Something in the way she woooooes me... Don't wanna leave her now" (written & sung by gorgeous George Harrison. Frank Sinatra described this song as the best love song ever!)

"Slipping through my fingers.." (Abba)

From 'Bitch' by Meredith Brooks

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way

To you I would give the world
To you I'd never be cold
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's all right I know it's right
And the songbirds keep singing
Like they know the score
And I love you I love you I love you
Like never before Like never before.

Songbird. Christine McVie

Heavens not beyond the clouds
its just beyond the fear

We played at our wedding (second time around for both of us):

I never made promises lightly and there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left we'll walk in fields of gold

The Eva Cassidy version of Sting's "Fields of Gold".

Ashcombe I love that Meatloaf one and Kathyd that is one I always think of too when I see very small kids don't see differences.

“Sometimes God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers” from a song by Garth Brooks

The very thought of you and I forget to do
The very ordinary things that everyone aught to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream; I'm happy as a King
And, foolish though it may seem, to me that's everything
The mere idea of you. The longing here for you.
I see your face in every flower, your eyes in stars above.
It's just the thought of you, the very thought of you, my love

Until the twelfth of never...........
