OT:More for pop music fans

[cookie447]

How about favorite (best lines)? Here's two:
" You can ckeck out any time you want, but you can never leave"
"I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday"
Have at it folks; have fun!

 

[meyers7]

You can't always get what you want, but if you try, sometimes well you might find, you get what you need.

 

[DobbsRover2]

Considering the board this is posted on:

"Girls just want to have fun."

Or generally for life in general:

"London calling at the top of the dial, and after all this, won't you give me a smile?"

 

[pinotbear]

"God have mercy on the man who doubts what he's sure of.."

 

[OneTrickPony]

"Fools to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am...stuck in the middle..."

"I'm just a soul who's intentions are good....Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood!"

"Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah"

"Don't talk of love,
But I've heard the words before;
It's sleeping in my memory.
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
If I never loved I never would have cried.
I am a rock,
I am an island."

 

[Vowelguy]

You got lucky, babe, when I found you.

 

[Adesmar123]

I wish I didn't know now, what I didn't know then...

 

[Waquoit]

"They never told you the price you would pay for things that you might have done"

 

[OneTrickPony]

"There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy, there's only you and me and we just disagree..."

 

[Zorro]

"Ya Caint go Swimmin in a Baseball Pool". That's pretty vast, as Brother Dave Gardner would have said.

 

[wire chief]

As a depiction of the Yin-Yang of things...
"And everything under the sun is in tune, but the sun is eclipsed by the moon."

 

[Phil]

"Fools to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am...stuck in the middle..."

More Boneyard commentary, I see.

 

[Wally East]

"Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream." It's something I often try to do during long runs or when I'm feeling nervous about whatever. That and the idea "survive and advance" can get you through a lot of life

 

[Adesmar123]

Oh let's, let's stay together
Lovin' you whether, whether Times are good or bad, happy or sad,
alright, oh yeah Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

​

Once again - too many lyrics and too many years. I'll pick a couple from one of my favorite story tellers.

"He was a Kodiak lookin' fella 'bout 19 feet tall he rambled up over the hill 'spectin' me to do one of two things: flip or fly, I didn't do either one. It hung him up. He starts sniffin' 'round my body tryin' to smell fear, but he ain't gonna smell no fear, 'cause I'm God's own drunk and a fearless man. It hung him up. He looked me right in my eyes and my eyes was a lot redder than his was. It hung him up."
Jimmy Buffet - Gods Own Drunk


"He died about a month ago while winter filled the air
And though I cried I was so proud to love a man so rare
He's somewhere on the ocean now that's where he oughta be
With one hand on the starboard rail he's wavin' back at me"
Jimmy Buffet - The Captain and the Kid

 

[pinotbear]

"He went to Paris, searching for answers to questions...that bothered him so."

 

[TRest]

And you can trust me not to think
And not to sleep around
If you don't expect too much from me
You might not be let down

 

[RS9999X]

As a depiction of the Yin-Yang of things...
"And everything under the sun is in tune, but the sun is eclipsed by the moon."

Nothing says your fired like the band playing different tunes and you stand on stage unamplified. Nothing says your Syd Barrett without performing the whole set and not knowing in your own universe.

Line: "It's like trying to tell a stranger about rock and roll......"

 

[meyers7]

"You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave."

 

[cookie447]

Hello, but that lyric is what started this; it's my all time fav........................

 

[wire chief]

"Ya Caint go Swimmin in a Baseball Pool". That's pretty vast, as Brother Dave Gardner would have said.

Not only that, but also, "There ain't no Coupe de Ville hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack Box."

 

[DishNSwish]

The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls, and echoed in the Sounds of Silence.

 

[DishNSwish]

They declared me unfit to live said into that great void my soul be hurled
They wanted to know why I did what I did
Well sir I guess there's just a meanness in this world

and of course

There were ghosts in the eyes f all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of burned out chevrolets

They scream your name at night in the street, your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn you hear their engines roaring on
But when you get to the porch they're gone, on the wind, so Mary climb in
Its a town full of losers and Im pulling out of here to win.

 

[pinotbear]

"It's a sin, oh, it's a sin,
to tell yourself a lie.
I never lost you
I never lost you
I never lost you
'cause you were never mine."

 

[meyers7]

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose. Nothing ain't nothing, but it's free.

Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City is the place where they said:
Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
I said hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side

The future's so bright, I've got to wear shades

Well you don't tug on Superman's cape, you don't spit into the wind. You don't pull on the mask of the old Long Ranger and you don't mess around with Jim.


Been thinking and listening to some music.
