What are the lines that make you sit up and realise that someone has wriiten something that strikes a chord with you?
I have many, but I'm curious about other people.

Love that one, me.

 

[MossCommuter]

If I could do just one near perfect thing I'd be happy
They'd write it on my grave, or when they scattered my ashes
On second thoughts I'd rather hang about and be there with my best friend
If she wants me

Always liked that - not really especially keen on Belle and Sebastian but always liked that.

The teachers that taught me weren't cool"

The muscles of the mighty never known to flinch,
They couldn't budge the donkey a quarter of an inch
Delaney lay exhausted, hanging round its throat
With a grip just like a Scotchman on a five pound note

And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons ev'rywhere"

Pretty bird, closes its eyes,

Pretty bird, dies,

Another pretty thing dead,

On the end of the shaft of the Zen Archer.

if i had not seen such riches i could live with being poor

 

[jimboalee]

Many guys have come to you
With a line that wasn't true
And you passed them by (passed them by)
Now you're in the center ring
And their lines don't mean a thing
Why don't you let me try (let me try)
Now I don't wear a diamond ring
I don't even have a song to sing
All I know is
[Chorus:]
La la la la la la la la la means
I love you


Delfonics

 

[rusty bearing]

My mother said that I should stay out of bed,
but I know that I like it in there.
Legs and thighs, hellos and goodbyes
they're all there!

from

The dog ,the dog, he's at it again
by Caravan

Always made me smile

 

[jimboalee]

Ever since he broke your heart you seem so lost
Each time you pass my way
How I long to take your hand
And say don't cry, I'll kiss your tears away
Hey there lonely girl, lonely girl
Let me make your broken heart like new
Oh my lonely girl, lonely girl
don't you know this lonely boy loves you


Earl Shuman, sung by Eddie Holman
