What's your favourite line...

From a song...

Me, one in many is from a meat loaf song "I'm crying icicles instead if tears"

 

Cor, pass the sick-bag!!

 

One of mine is from the same song
" You were licking your lips and your lipsticks shining, I was dying just to ask for a taste !"

 

Sweetness sweetness i was only joking when i said i'd like to smash every tooth in your head

Closely followed by

Sweetness sweetness i was only joking when i said by rights you should bludgeoned in your bed

 

The one give just snorted...

Probably "even in a perfect world where everyone was equal I'd still own the film rights and be working on the sequel" from Everyday I Write the Book Elvis Costello.

 

Or "frankly I'd be fulfilled making Christmas cards with the mentally ill. I want to live and I want to love I want to catch something I might be ashamed of"

 

Thousands, a few of my favourites:

Standing on the corner, suitcase in my hand, Jack is in his corset, Jane is her vest and me I'm in a rock'n'roll band - Velvet Underground - Sweet Jane
Which is just about the coolest thing I've ever heard.

You blame it on the immigrants, you blame it on the poor, blame anyone who's not the same as you. You forgot about the bankers , the greedy ******* wnakers, 'cos it's them who made this mess we're living through - Pete Green - Subterranean Moseley Blues
It's more of a verse than a line, but...

Anytime you want it then it's there all you gotta do is stop it on the corner and ask, say hey you don't live today, stop the world, stop the world, I'm getting off
- Stone Roses - What the world is waiting for



One minute she says she's gone to get the cat in the next thing I know she's mumbling in Latin - Billy Bragg - She's got a new spell

Actually, there's hundreds of Billy Bragg lyrics I love, another:

One of em's off her food and the other one's off his head - Billy Bragg - Little Time Bomb

 

They're from different songs. The first is from Two out of Three Ain't Bad, yours is from You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth

'kin 'ell, hark at the Meatloaf fan here.

 

"We can learn to get by if we learn to have scars, If we learn to forgive and accept who we are.."

blink-182

Pretty Little Girl

 

Got a few. But one sticking in my mind. " I won't dance in a club like this, where the girls are all slags, and the beer tastes just like p**s
The specials

 

Hoop titty hoop de hoop de hoop I own that


Nicky *****

 

My voice is a little hoarse, galloping lost through the woods.....

 

We could have gone just for Billy.

" I never made the first team just made the first team laugh"

"Kissing in the park kissing on the carpet with your tights around your ankles. Late at night a lover thinks of these things"

"Most important decisions in life are made between two people in bed I found that out at my expense"

"I have all the self loathing of a wolf in sheeps clothing in this carnival of carnivores heaven help me".

Pretty much all of Life is a Riot, Brewing up and Workers Playtime.

 

Another sick-bag please!!

 

Sorry I meant album. Brain freeze !!

 

Easy, two lines for me: -

1) "I'll sleep when I'm dead" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts-e0uZfooQ

2) "I gotta hangover" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLhFDYQHDQY

 

Come Mr C, what's yours?

 

Get up, stand up, Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up, Don't give up the fight.
Bob Marley

 

Three of Billy's corkers from the same song:

The wife has three great attributes: intelligence, a Swiss army knife and charm

Though you cannot be blamed but I've become inflamed with thoughts of lust and thoughts of power, thoughts of love and thoughts of Chairman Mao

Here she comes again I'm sitting on my hands as she sings to me that siren song. Here she comes again I bite my lip and I take a trip but it won't be long.

 

I think this is really good....


Who killed Davey Moore,
Why an' what's the reason for?

"Not I," says the referee,
"Don't point your finger at me.
I could've stopped it in the eighth
An' maybe kept him from his fate,
But the crowd would've booed, I'm sure,
At not gettin' their money's worth.
It's too bad he had to go,
But there was a pressure on me too, you know.
It wasn't me that made him fall.
No, you can't blame me at all."

Who killed Davey Moore,
Why an' what's the reason for?

"Not us," says the angry crowd,
Whose screams filled the arena loud.
"It's too bad he died that night
But we just like to see a fight.
We didn't mean for him t' meet his death,
We just meant to see some sweat,
There ain't nothing wrong in that.
It wasn't us that made him fall.
No, you can't blame us at all."

"Not me," says his manager,
Puffing on a big cigar.
"It's hard to say, it's hard to tell,
I always thought that he was well.
It's too bad for his wife an' kids he's dead,
But if he was sick, he should've said.
It wasn't me that made him fall.
No, you can't blame me at all."

"Not me," says the gambling man,
With his ticket stub still in his hand.
"It wasn't me that knocked him down,
My hands never touched him none.
I didn't commit no ugly sin,
Anyway, I put money on him to win.
It wasn't me that made him fall.
No, you can't blame me at all."

Who killed Davey Moore,
Why an' what's the reason for?

"Not me," says the boxing writer,
Pounding print on his old typewriter,
Sayin', "Boxing ain't to blame,
There's just as much danger in a football game."
Sayin', "Fist fighting is here to stay,
It's just the old American way.
It wasn't me that made him fall.
No, you can't blame me at all."

Who killed Davey Moore,
Why an' what's the reason for?

"Not me," says the man whose fists
Laid him low in a cloud of mist,
Who came here from Cuba's door
Where boxing ain't allowed no more.
"I hit him, I hit him, yes, it's true,
But that's what I am paid to do.
Don't say 'murder,' don't say 'kill.'
It was destiny, it was God's will."
