What are your favourite lines from a song ?

I’m gonna show you baby
That a woman can be tough

From Piece of my heart

You were always on my mind (Willie Nelson)

Nvella good lines. Everybody Knows is so well written and still relevant.

If we’re talking funny - Ian Dury
“Oh golly, oh gosh come lie on the couch
Win a nice bit of posh from Burnham on Crouch”

If I could get another chance
Another walk
Another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
How I'd love love love
To dance with my father again

Growing up I remember dancing with my beautiful dad, oh what I would give to have one more dance with him......

Make Your Own Kind Of Music
Cass Elliot
Nobody can tell ya;
There's only one song worth singin',
They may try and sell ya,
'Cause it hangs them up to see someone like you.
But you've gotta make your own music
Sing your own special song,
Make your own kind of music even if nobody else sings along.
You're gonna be knowing
The loneliest kind of lonely,
It may be rough goin',
Just to do your thing's the hardest thing to do.
But you've gotta make your own music
Sing your own special song,
Make your own kind of music even if nobody else sings along.

Baubles and Sukie - There is no-one like Leonard
“Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows”

Merlotgran - I often think I would like In My Life at my funeral.

Sorry I better stop posting. Enjoying everyones comments?.

jeapurs beautiful song. We spent an English lesson writing the lyrics out instead of our essay. A line I love from America - "The moon rose over an open field". Lovely image. S&G were good together.

Different Class album by Pulp is good.

lemongrove good one ?

MissAdventure he's not for everyone but to his fans he is a very special person. He always took such care over writing his songs. If you decide to look I would recommend trying Famous Blue Raincoat. and this ..if link works. youtu.be/-vKONRcAJnk.
London Live Concert on youtube is good.

Alleluia ( a Leonard Cohen song) although I would have to google the exact words, a wonderful song.

From the sublime to the ridiculous: Right Said Fred
‘With the wall down, even with the hall down, we was getting nowhere,..so, we had a cuppa tea etc.

Ah, thanks MissA for the correct title, yes, it’s a great song and has interesting lyrics, full of angst!

Jalima obviously an Elton John fan.

I need to investigate Leonard Cohen, I'm sure.

garnet25 Possibly my favourite Cohen song.

.......And the Johnny Walker wisdom running high
And my very sweet companion
She's the angel of compassion
She's rubbing half the world against her thigh…

from Closing Time...Leonard Cohen

Its probably one of my favourite songs ever, lemon.
Its so wonderfully grim!
'How soon is now'

There's a club if you'd like to go?
You just need somebody who really loves you..
So you go and you stand on your own.. and you leave on your own.
And you go home, and you cry and you want to die!

‘ I am human and I need to be loved, just like anybody else does’ (same song as you quoted MissAdventure I
am the son and the heir etc) This Is Now?Something like that

I also like ‘ blackbird singing in the dead of night’ ( Beatles)
And ‘Morning has broken, like the first morning’ etc.

The wonderful Cohen again grannydarkhair

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh
As the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry

1974 Cookie yes Waterloo Sunset is London, all these years later it still sounds right

At the bitter end,
Salt and liquid blend
From the corner of my eyes.
All the miles wrecked,
Every broken step,
Always searching, always blind.

Never fear! No! Never fear!
Never fear! No! Never fear!

So let your heart hold fast
For this soon shall pass.
There's another hill ahead.
