What are your favourite lines from a song ?

A line from 'Synchronicity 2 ' by The Police makes me laugh:-

'We have to shout above the din of our Rice Crispies,
We can't hear anything at all'.

This one's for Rufus

Not quite the same thing, but a young Australian friend had posted this morning:

Rick Astley for Prime Minister because he's

Never gonna give you up,
never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry,
never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

For those who didn't know, Australia has had yet another change of PM.

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, faster than a wink,
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think

Colin Blunstone singing :

Caroline goodbye, Caroline goodbye.

If I was Caroline, and listening to one of the most gorgeous voices ever, I would definitely NOT be saying goodbye ??.

I ran so fast that life and youth at last ran out
I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation I can now recall
Concerned itself with me - me, and nothing else at all.

The amazing Charles Aznavour.

Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round!!!

As long as I gaze on Waterloo Sunset, I am in paradise.

The best song about London by the Kinks.

Last night I had a little altercation
They wobbled menacingly
Beneath the yellow street light it became a situation
Well, they wanted my brand-new phone with all the pictures of the kids and the wife
A struggle ensued and then fat children took my life

Jarvis Cocker. I love him!

Jarvis is a favourite of mine.
His lyrics are genius!

MissAdventure, like me, you have excellent taste!

Common People by Pulp.
The whole song is brilliant. Impossible to pick a favourite line.

Its a great thread altogether..

The Windmills of Your Mind by Noel Harrison, 1969 original. I wont type up the full lyrics, but here is a reminder and a link to the lovely old black and white video:

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles
That you find
In the windmills of your mind !

The first time ever I saw your face .....

Melts my heart

'cause all of me loves all of you
love your curves and all your edges
all your perfect imperfections
(John Legend)

Just watched Time in a Bottle on YouTube. A really beautiful song that I had forgotten. I also love In My Life by The Beatles, one of their best, I think.
Thank you for the music, the songs they’re singing!

You’re my bread when i’m hungry, you’re my shelter from troubled winds, you’re my anchor in life’s ocean but most of all you’re my best friend.

Kenny Rogers

Thank you for the music, the songs they’re singing!
I shall now have that as an ear worm instead of Never Gonna Give You Up!! [grub]

Yes, a great song, sung by the late great Kirstie McColl

[grub] - where did that come from

You've got the universe reclining in your hair...

nanaK
That song almost reduces me to tears, its so lovely.

I don't know that one, who sings it?

Which one, Jalima?
The universe reclining one is 'Jeepster' (T.rex)

MissAdventure me too

T Rex - Yes I remember them but I was probably busy listening to Elton John etc at the time
