favourite line ever, in a song.

[funkymoped]

weve all got a favourite song. i guess im the same as most people and like good lyrics too.

there are a thousand and one lines in songs that stand out more than any other.

whats your favourite line ?

mine. "i get to thinking maybe, that too much thinkings bad."

it makes me think...... lol

[Alibobs]

The one that amuses me most is the Smiths offfering............"I was looking for a job and then I found a job....Heaven knows I'm miserable now"

MacArthur Park has to be in the running for some of the wierdest lyrics - is it really related to drugs or is that an urban myth?

[beryllium]

Happy Good Friday peops...

Alibobs... i thought MacArthur Park was about a cake!!!

i think i'll choose....

MmmMmmMmmMmm by The Crash Test Dummies....

[B00]

Mines Sit Down by James.....

"If I hadn't seen such riches, I could live with being poor"

Oh how true...........

[mkt]

"If dreams are like movies then memories are films about ghosts" from Mrs Potters Lullaby by Counting Crows

[DiscoStu]

"I wanna be Jackie Onassis, I wanna wear a pair of dark sunglasses" Rage Against the Machine - Tire Me.

Perhaps not the world's BEST lyric, but a great use of rhyme and it makes me chuckle!

[mastermagrat]

the line " the corpses brother wants to know what you would like to drink" is one that i havent heard in many songs . its in "the wake song by colm sands

[mightyWBA]

" is she trying to get out of that clitoris? Liberation for women,thats what I preach(preacher man),walking on the beaches looking at the peaches"

Peaches by The Stranglers.

[starrs]

The opening line of It Must Be Love by Madness

"I never thought I'd miss you half as much as I do"

and a close second is from My Perfect Cousin by The Undertones

"His mother bought him a synthesizer, got the Human League in to advise her"

absolutely priceless.

From U2, Beautiful Day;

'What you don't have you don't need it now, What you don't know you can feel it somehow.

[minimonkey]

When you let me fall
Grew my own wings
Now I�m as tall as the sky
When you let me drown
Grew gills and fins
Now I�m as deep as the sea
When you let me die
My spirit�s free
There�s nothing challenging me

bit more than a line but hey!!

[robertson]

Starr's response is intriguing. My Perfect Cousin was released in April 1980, and The Human League didn't have their first hit til the following month. How do you explain that one?

[starrs]

Maybe you made a mistake Robertson because the Human League were formed in the late 70's

[robertson]

Indeed they were formed in the late 70's but not well-known til after their first hit in May 1980 - a month after My Perfect Cousin was released.

[Dudley]

'Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose' from Me & Bobby McGee by Kris Kristofferson.

[youngrusscle]

Mine is from Damien Rice Cannonball

Theres still a little bit of your taste in my mouth...

so soppy but hey, when this was out me and my boyfrind were spereated, and i sent him this song, and yeah hes all mushy too! we're back together now after a 10 month break up! yey x

[jules_word]

from;woodstock by matthews southern comfort,

and I dreamed I saw the bombers riding shotgun in the sky , turning into butterflies above our nation

[andy-hughes]

My all time favourite line is in Dexys Midnight Runners' Come On Eileen - "At this moment, you mean everything ..." perfection.
