What are your favourite lines from a song ?

I was so upset that I cried all the way to the chip shop...

Oh I love that one Chewbacca. Until very recently we sang that one at our weekly singing for fun group at the public library but just now we are mostly concentrating on old Elvis numbers (^not so much my cup of tea^) for an upcoming gig

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

Heard this at a friends Funeral and thought is was so moving and appropriate.

We sure had a good time when we started way back when
morning walks and bedroom talks of how I loved you then .

There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis..
Just like you swore to me that you'd be true.
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis..
Well he's a liar and I'm not sure about you!

If I just lay here ,would you lie with me and just forget the world ?

MissAdventure!! I'd just come on here to quote the exact same lines! I'll have to think of something else now, mutter, mutter....

Agree with MerlotGran but what about Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down.....

Chebacca and Gillybob - Snap! Love both Joni Mitchell and Time in a Bottle by Jim Croce. Have just read the first page of this thread and said "Oh yes..." twice!

Have got to think of my favourite lyrics now.

God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son.”

Can’t beat Bob Dylan for an attention-grabbing first line!

If you need us just call
Rest your weary world in their hands
Lay your broken laugh at their feet
I can see Angels around you
They shimmer like mirrors in Summer
There's someone who's loved you forever but you don't know it
You might feel it but just not show it....
One of Kate bush records, beautiful words....

Still trying to think of funny ones...

I see you've sent my letters back
And my LP records and they're all scratched

It's been one week since you looked at me
Threw your arms in the air and said, "You're crazy"
Five days since you tackled me
I've still got the rug burns on both my knees...

I’m not in love.10CC.Good vibrations Beach Boys.
At last ,Netta James?

Was that the trees a-rustling?
Or the 'inges on the gate?
Or Ernie's ghostly goldtops a-rattling in their crate??
They won't forget Ernie!

Oh yes, now you're talking.

Now Ernie rushed out into the street, his gold top in his hand
He said, "If you wanna marry Susie you'll fight for her like a man."
"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."

nshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high
If I had a day that I could give you
I'd give to you the day just like today
If I had a song that I could sing for you
I'd sing a song to make you feel this way

Once I believed that when love came to me
It would come with rockets, bells and poetry,
But with me and you it just started quietly and grew.
And believe it or not,
Now there's some thing groovy and good 'bout whatever we've got.

And it's getting better, growing stronger, warm and wilder,
Getting better every day.

I don't feel all turned on and starry-eyed,
I just feel a deep contentment deep inside.
Holding you at night just seems kind of natural and right.

That Mama Cass song just about sums up how I felt when I met DH. It wasn't love at first sight for me, but he sort of grew on me, and friendship turned to love. Well it must have been ok, we were together nearly 50 years!

Well, if we`re talking amusing, how about Chuck Berry`s My Dingaling?

Ah but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.....

I always think of my beautiful granddaughter when I hear..
On the day that you were born the angels got together and decided to create a dream come true.
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue..

That song reminds me of my mum.
She would jokingly sing it to my dad (but I think she meant it, really)

"I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah"

My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart

and like Gillybob further up this thread, I love Jim Croce's Time In A Bottle.

I'm gonna rise above the emotional flood. Feeder
Saw the mighty Feeder at Rochdale Feel Good Festival onSaturday

Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried
