Favourite Lines in Songs

[TVC]

Now don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim
I know lots of those and you're not one of them
There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in
And you won't come the cowboy with me

 

[Rhythm Thief]

Ladies and gentlemen, right now I got to tell you about ...

bellbottoms.

This one's not my favourite but i've always remembered it 'fondly' if thats the right word..

One of Nazareths tales of woe...

Now don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim
I know lots of those and you're not one of them
There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in
And you won't come the cowboy with me

Classic Kirsty MacColl, haven't heard that for ages.

Hey Joe
Where you going with that gun in your hand
Hey Joe
Now tell me where you going with that gun in your hand
I'm gonna shoot my lady
Cos I caught her messing around with another man
Yes, I'm going down to shoot my lady
Cos I caught her messing around with another man
Hey Joe
I heard you shot your woman down
Hey Joe
I heard you shot your woman down
Right down to the ground
Yes I did I shot her
You know I shot her cos I caught her messing 'round town
Yes I did I shot her
I shot my woman cos she was messing 'round town
I gave her the gun - I shot her!
Hey Joe
Tell me where you gonna run to now?
Hey Joe
C'mon tell me where you gonna run to?
Don't you worry about me
I'm going way down South
Way down South where I'm gonna be free
I'm going way down South
Way down South maybe outside Mexico Way
I'm gonna run, oh yeh

Classic Jimi Hendrix track, this an excellent version, with a long intro, by Deep Purple

"Klopf, klopf, lass mich rein,
Lass mich dein Geheimnis sein"


from Labyrinth by "Oomph!"

(means: "knock, knock, let me in, let me be your secret!")

L'enfer du Nord: Paris - Roubaix
La Cote d'Azur et Saint Tropez
Les Alpes et les Pyrennees
Derniere etape Champs-Elysees
Galibier et Tourmalet
En danseuse jusqu'au sommet
Pedaler en grand braquet
Sprint final a l'arrivee
Crevaison sur les paves
Le velo vite repare
Le peloton est regroupe
Camarades et amitie

 

[meenaghman]

....Stop off at Ardglass for a couple of jars of
Mussels and some potted herrings in case
We get famished before dinner On and on, over the hill and the craic is good
Heading towards Coney Island

I look at the side of your face as the sunlight comes
Streaming through the window in the autumn sunshine
And all the time going to Coney Island I'm thinking,
Wouldn't it be great if it was like this all the time.

 

[CharlieB]

How heavy the empty heart
How light the heart that's full

Every December Sky - Beth Neilsen Chapman

 

[Fnaar]

"My Favourite Things" is playing
Again and again
But it's by Julie Andrews
And not by John Coltrane

(Elvis Costello: This Is Hell)

 

[Rewind]

Pink Floyd summed it all up for me in this song from the 1983 "Final Cut" album:-

"The Fletcher Memorial Home"

take all your overgrown infants away somewhere
and build them a home, a little place of their own
the fletcher memorial home for incurable tyrants and kings
and they can appear to themselves every day
on closed circuit t.v.
to make sure they're still real
it's the only connection they feel
"ladies and gentlemen, please welcome reagan and haig
mr. begin and friend mrs. thatcher and paisley
mr. brezhnev and party
the ghost of mccarthy
the memories of nixon
and now adding colour a group of anonymous latin
american meat packing glitterati"
did they expect us to treat them with any respect
they can polish their medals and sharpen their
smiles, and amuse themselves playing games for a while
boom boom, bang bang, lie down you're dead
safe in the permanent gaze of a cold glass eye
with their favourite toys
they'll be good girls and boys
in the fletcher memorial home for colonial
wasters of life and limb
is everyone in?
are you having a nice time?
now the final solution can be applied

 

[raindog]

I know you won't go very far, you left your blonde wig in the car

 

[red_tom]

As he dreams of a waitress with Maxwell House eyes
And marmalade thighs with scrambled yellow hair.

Tom Waits - The Ghosts of Saturday Night

 

[Paulus]

From Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb------ 1979, I had turned 21.


When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child has grown
the dream is gone

 

[Andy in Sig]

Whoa, there's been a slaughter here.

and,

Rape, murder
It's just a shot away,
It's just a shot away

and,

The last time that I saw her she was burying a bone
I'm tired of whistling for her
So I'm going back home
