HI IM NOT SURE IF SOMEONE HAS DONE THIS BEFORE ?

but what is your favorite lyrical phrase or verses from your favorite songs i will start


MIDNIGHT OIL >>> "Beds are Burning"

how can we dance when the earth is turning how can we sleep while our beds are burning??
 
It's another lonely evening
And another lonely town
But I ain't too young to worry
And I ain't too old to cry
When a woman gets me down
Got another empty bottle
And another empty bed
Ain't too young to admit it
And I'm not too old to lie
I'm just another empty head
That's why I'm lonely
I'm so lonely
But I know what I'm gonna do -
I'm gonna ride on
Ride on
Ride on, standing on the edge of the road
Ride on, thumb in the air
Ride on, one of these days I'm gonna
Ride on, change my evil ways
Till then I'll just keep riding on
Broke another promise
And I broke another heart
But I ain't too young to realize
That I ain't too old to try
Try to get back to the start
And it's another red light nightmare
Another red light street
And I ain't too old to hurry
Cause I ain't too old to die
But I sure am hard to beat
But I'm lonely
Lord I'm lonely
What am I gonna do -
Ride on
Ride on, got myself a one-way ticket
Ride on
Ride on, going the wrong way
Ride on, gonna change my evil ways
Ride on, one of these days
One of these days
Ride on
Ride on
I'm gonna ride on
Ride on, looking for a truck
Ride on
Ride on, keep on riding
Riding on and on and on and on
Gonna have myself a good time
Ohhh yeah
Ride ride ride
One of these days
One of these days.......Bon Scott RIP.
 
Pink Bullets by The Shins is a pretty kickass song. It's about finding and then losing young love.

I was just bony hands as cold as a winter pole
You held a warm stone out new flowing blood to hold
Oh what a contrast you were to the brutes in the halls
My timid young fingers held a decent animal

Over the ramparts you tossed
The scent of your skin and some foreign flowers
Tied to a brick
Sweet as a song
The years have been short
But the days were long

Cool of a temperate breeze from dark skies to wet grass
We fell in a field it seems now a thousand summers passed
When our kite lines first crossed
We tied them into knots
And finally fly apart
We had to cut them off

Since then it's been a book you read in reverse
So you understand less as the pages turn
Or a movie so crass
And awkwardly cast
Even I could be the star

I don't look back much as a rule
And all this way before murder was cool
But your memory is here and I'd it to stay
Warm light on a winter day

Over the ramparts you tossed
The scent of your skin and some foreign flowers
Tied to a brick
Sweet as a song
The years have been short
But the days go slowly by
Two loose kites falling from the sky
Drawn to the ground and an end to flight
 
I don't have a favorite - I just love music. But the song that has never left my head since it was played on TV when I was a kid is "I've got spurs that jingle, jangle jingle." I don't remember the cartoon's name, but they would have a cartoon with the words to the song at the bottom, and a ball would bounce along each syllable of the words, one line at a time. For some reason, I was just mesmerized by that ball bouncing to the music!
 
Dreams by Fleetwood Mac

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when you're playing

First thing that popped into my mind to be honest

"Stairway To Heaven"
Led Zeppelin

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying the stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying the stairway to heaven.

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

And she's buying the stairway to heaven.

my most favorite ..."riff"..or musical phrase is-
The Eagles, Hotel California-

"and still those voices are calling from..faaar away!..."


It's the harmonies.......oh, so, tight- next time you hear the song, just listen to that phrase.




Of inspirational lyrics,there are tons. I love musical talent. Don't matter if it's Billy Holiday, Axl Rose, Eddie, Etta, Queen, elevators, plaid or techno....


edit - for the daily reference, it has to be "It's 5 O'clock somewhere!" What WOULD Jimmy Buffet say????? It's ALWAYS 5:00 somewhere.

:cheers:
 
Meatloaf: I swore I'd love you 'till the end of time.
So now I'm praying for the end of time, to hurry up man alive! 'cause if I have to spend another minute with you, I don't think that I could really survive. I'll never break my promise or forget my vows, but God only knows what I could do right now. I'm praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you . . . .
(just don't tell my wife I posted this).

Flava-Flave and I-C-E
once said something that made me
want to burn my liquor store down to the ground.
But I just can't leave the pad, cuz I'll surely wind up dead,
'cuz i know there out there out there waiting and watching for me.
Still I got my yellow cat and my wooden baseball bat
and my shiny silver gat and if my homey my back then I got

All that I need
 
Pink Floyd - Thin Ice
If you should go skating
On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear stained eyes
Don't be surprised, when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice
​
 
For today I'd have to say Simple Man by Lynard Skynard is ringing in my head, but tomorrow it will be something else.


Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

And be a simple kind of man
Be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can? Oh yes, I will
 
Until I made it, Life was kind of hit-and-miss...
And after I made it, Life was, "Take a hit of this"...
Yeah I'd LOVE to talk philosophy...
But I gotta take a piss....
Man that philosophy...
Runs right through ya...
Take it from me babe....
I've got experience...

"Experience" David Lee Roth"

"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Money don't grow on trees.
I got bills to pay,
I got mouths to feed,
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
I know I can't slow down,
I can't hold back,
Though you know, I wish I could.
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good".

Stones ... Let it bleed
I was dreaming of a steel guitar engagement When you drunk my health in scented jasmine tea But you knifed me in my dirty filthy basement With that jaded, faded, junky nurse Oh what pleasant company
