Favourite Lines in Songs

[Andy in Sig]

And I've just remembered the immortal:

Bye by baby,
Might see you later,
Sittin' in the bar,
At the Sugar Shaker

I haven't a clue why but that has consistently randomly popped into my head over many years. He had a way with words, did Mr Brilleaux.

John Cooper Clarke:

'He makes love like a footballer
He dribbles before he shoots'

Pyscho slut part 2

 

[amnesia]

"Button your lip don't let the shield slip
take a fresh grip on your bullet proof mask
and if they try to break down your disguise with their questions
you can hide hide hide
behind paranoid eyes"


Paranoid Eyes - Pink Floyd

 

[GM]

coz you wont stop talkin,
why dont you give it a rest?,
you got more rabbit than sainsburys,

Chas & Dave classic

 

[lowrider73]

Bobby's alright, Bobby's alright
He's a natural born poet, he's just outta sight
Automatic shoes, automatic shoes
Give me 3D-vision and the California Blues
And me I funk but I don't care
I ain't no square with my corkscrew hair

Marc Bolan & T.Rex

 

[Ravenbait]

If you've ever wondered how
You get triangles from a cow
You need butter, milk and cheese
And an equilateral chain saw

[Midnight]

I stepped out on the guard rail, saw the crowds slowly part
Heard a voice shouting "Don't jump, please for God's sake let me move my car!"...


Barclay James Harvest - Suicide

 

[Midnight]

And on a similar theme...


'Don't jump off the roof, Dad
You'll make a hole in the yard
Mother's just planted petunias
The weeding and seeding was hard

If you must end it all, Dad
Won't you please give us a break
Just take a walk down the park, Dad
And there you can jump in the lake.'

Tommy Cooper - Don't jump off the roof, Dad

I don't even know why I laugh at this one, humourless feminist that I am, but I do, every time:

She's so good she'd make a dead man cum


Serious answer:

So close your eyes
Open your heart
To the one who's dreaming of you
And you can never hold back spring


With a flick of the wrist and the turn of the key
You just fall in my arms

We could run all night
And dance upon the architecture
Come and take my hand
I'll do the very best I can
Boy, I still wanna be your man
I’m still these nervous feet and heart of stone
Forget this dead man's town, I’ll take you home


Reclaim the night and win the day
