Song lyrics

[Ric.ror]

After Gordan lightfoots ' I don't know where we ' etc what's your fave line or lyric
One of mine is Glen Campbells 'and I need you more than want you'

[Answerprancer]

"Who is the strongest, who is the best, who holds the aces - the east or the west, that is the crap our children are learning".

(Roger Waters - The Tide Is Turning)

"...That's back in the days when you used to smoke a banana, you would scrape the stuff off the middle you would bake it you would smoke it, you even thought you was getting ripped from it ...WOOP ! ...Atlantis!"

(Frank Zappa - The Blue Light)

I love the lyrics of "The Dull Flame of Desire" by Bjork and Anthony Heggarty:
"I love your eyes, my dear
their splendid, sparkling fire
when suddenly you raise them so
to cast a swift embracing glance
like lightening flashing in the sky
but there's a charm that is greater still,
when my love's eyes are lowered
when all is fired by passion's kiss
and through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire"

No other song could encapsulate such a feeling, just reading the words makes me feel it all!

[Sir Alec]

Hello Ric.ror, I too am a great fan of Wicheta Linesman. Did you know it's Robbie Williams fave song?

[Ric.ror]

Oh no I did not know that
It's a good song

[Sir Alec]

Oh, dear, I hope I didn't put you off it!

[jubieanna]

talking of Robbie Williams, one of my fave lines in a song is from 'Strong'

early morning when I wake up
I look like Kiss but without the makeup

The Edgar Broughton Band: American Boy Soldier

[andy-hughes]

One of my fave lines is from Fleetwood Mac -

"I can still hear you sayin' you would never break the chain ..."

[MarkRae]

In the slaughterhouse all corpses smell the same
Whether queens or pawns or innocents at the game
In the cemetery a uniform cloaks the graves
Except for outward pomp and circumstance

how wonderfull i feel while youre in the world....elton john

[MarkRae]

^^ If you're referring to "Your Song", the lyric is

"How wonderful life is while you're in the world"

[MarkRae]

Wichita Lineman is indeed a great song. Jimmy Webb is an excellent lyricist.

Don't have anything particular in mind but I have always had a liking for the way Fish uses language. From his early days with Marillion to later as solo performer he has always produced interesting and thought-provoking work. "Script for a Jester's Tear" has some very good work on it.

[MarkRae]

Interesting, Scotman. I consider Derek William Dick to be (probably) the worst lyricist in the entire rock genre. He really, really tried - I'll give you that - "aural contraceptive aborting pregnant conversation", For Funks Sake!

The problem with Fish was that he so wanted to be able to write lyrics like Peter Hammill and sing them like Peter Gabriel (his two idols), but failed dismally at both...

"You're the only one I care enough to hurt about"

By Bread (Gates)

[Ric.ror]

Well I also like a lot of bruce springsteins lyrics like - she stares awful lone into the night with the one who hates for just being born - and tramps like us ......
In fact just about most of his lyrics - he just needs his music to catch up a bit
