What are your favourite lines from a song ?

And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues

These threads always make me feel slightly melancholy... I love them though. So many wonderful words..

Time to get out the old CDs or vinyl

Al I can hear from the sitting room is Kevin McLeod, a very nice man but

I wear your granddad's clothes
I look incredible
I'm in this big ass coat
From that thrift shop down the road

Courtesy of my grandsons.
Its one of their favourite songs.

Has anyone mentioned Glad rags and handbags yet?

Oh not yet, but I love that, too!

You decorated my life- Glen Campbell

'Ring of fire'

= stomach upset song

Here's a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry, be happy now

(Bobby McFerrin)

And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liars chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair

My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song

Bernie Taupin, music Elton John

And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in

Ah, I like that one, Jalima.

Best listened to live, in concert …..

Night and day, you are the one.....

As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday
'Cause you are mine
Forever love
Watching me from up above
And I believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave.

Josh Groban ' To Where You Are'

Two lines from a Robbie Williams song:

I hope I'm old before I die
I hope I live to relive the days gone by

And a verse from Adele's Someone Like You:

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

baubles the wonderful Cohen. I was going to put that. But really there are so many Cohen lines you could choose.

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.

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

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

The wonderful Cohen again grannydarkhair

‘ 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.

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!

.......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
