What are your favourite lines from a song ?

garnet25 Possibly my favourite Cohen song.

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

Jalima obviously an Elton John fan.

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

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.

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.

lemongrove good one ?

Different Class album by Pulp is good.

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.

Sorry I better stop posting. Enjoying everyones comments?.

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

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”

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.

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......

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”

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

You were always on my mind (Willie Nelson)

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

From Piece of my heart

This used to make the DC laugh:
Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you

Then there would be a discussion about which piece she was taking this time

I used to be good looking
In my younger days
Now I’m old and feeble
I still got my younger ways

I would give everything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
Just to have you back again.
Just to talk with you once again.
(Bread)

Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft
