similar to an earlier thread, but not entirely!
i believe this is one of the best song lines ever !

Cat Stevens (Father and son)
" From the moment i could talk, i was taught just to listen"..........................Brilliant really

"Stick my fingers right up your nose" The Stranglers (Something Better Change)

poetry really.

It's actually "ordered to listen", which is even better.

The line that always springs to my mind is "I don't feel bad about letting you go; I just feel sad about letting you know."

And of course the monumental, "to die by your side, all the pleasure the privilege is mine."

But there must be dozens of others floating about in my brain somewhere. I'll keep you posted.

I could say that you look pretty
that would make me a liar
but you turn my legs to spaghetti
and set my heart on fire

Jens Lekman - Pocketful Of Money

I wanna, I wanna, I really really really wanna Ziga-Zig-Ah.

Genius

there is a song that i recall
my granny sang to me
she sang it as she tucked me in
when i was ninety three

"He who fuks nuns will later join the church"

saw a werewolf with a chinese menu in his hand
said he was after a bowl of beef chow mein

Class

Shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die.

Ok
Just a little pinprick
There'll be no more --Aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, Good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go

A new Picture Center album on the way then

I wish that for just one time
you could stand inside my shoes
and just for that one moment
I could be you.

Yes, I wish that for just one time
you could stand inside my shoes.
You'd know what a drag it is
to see you.



Not all that profound or metaphysical, but in the interests of venom-release

How can you try to mould me
when you can't even unfold me
all you every try to do is control me

How did you think i would turn out?
Set in stone, or washed-up, burnt out?

etc etc etc

There's always another of my faves:

Did I dream you dreamed about me
Were you hare when I was fox
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken, lovelorn on you rocks

That's poetry that, see...

I'm as puzzled as the oyster
I'm as riddled as the tide
Should I stand amid the breakers
Or should I lie with death my bride

A heart that's full up like a landfill..
A job that slowly kills you..
Bruises that won't heal.

You look, so tired & unhappy..
Bring down the Government..
They don't, They don't speak for us.

Love the first line, the last 2 just seem to fit the current mood.

Chubby Brown

I love you so much i cant shit

"Without my darkness, your star couldn't shine"

You're a Leonard person, leave Bobby to me.

pass that bottle over here.

I tried to beat the bottle.......but I had to do it drunk.

Me and Leonard, we like a drink.

I think we should get Atweasle to test this for research purposes.

'...and the chip stains and grease will come out in the bath.........'

Is that a song line or a top tip?

this will bring a tear to anyone's eye

Guts and blood, bones are broken
As they eat your pancreas
Human liver, for their dinner
Or maybe soup with eyes
Cause of death, still unknown
Gnawing meat, from your bones
Bone saw binding in your skull
Brains are oozing a human stump
Needles injected, through your eyes
Pulling off flesh, skinned alive

Could be both Mr Atweasle!!

The carvery at the Corner Flag?

For I'm drunk today, and I'm seldom sober,
A handsome rover from town to town,
Ah, but I'm sick now, my days are numbered,
Come all you young men and lay me down.

or from the brilliant Morrissey...:


then on the sand - another man
he takes her hand
a smile lights up her stupid face - and well, it would
I lost my faith in womanhood

Pah

Didn't mean to scare the children
or make your grandma drool
but I'm standing here holding
the genitalia of a fool
But I wsih that your holding
the genitalia of this fool.

To the tune of 'If I was a rich man' from Fiddler on the Roof:

If I was a linesman
I would execute defenders who applauded my offsides


Incidentally, does anyone know if 'Fiddler on the Roof' has ever been used as a tabloid headline to describe a nonce in a rooftop scenario?

I don't believe in an interventionist God But I know, darling, that you do But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him Not to intervene when it came to you Not to touch a hair on your head To leave you as you are And if He felt He had to direct you Then direct you into my arms Into my arms.

She's a tart ,he's very cheap"
She's is a slut,he thinks he's tough "
She's is a bitch, he's a puff "

"Yeah yeah ,It's not fair "

Are you off to the WES or are you stopping on that park bench Sussex?
