[JaminDyer]

What's your favourite lyric lines? That one line that you'll put a song on just to hear.

Mine have got to be:

Road trippin' with my two favourite allies,
fully loaded we've got snacks and supplies
- Road Trippin' by RHCP

To resist is to piss in the wind, anyone who does will end up smelling,
knowing this why do I defy, 'cause my inner voice is yelling.
- Out from Under by Incubus

Terror rains drenchin', quenchin' the thirst of the power dons
That five sided fist-a-gon
- Bulls on Parade - RATM

 

[Deathblade Eric]

Mama killed a Chicken,
Thought it was a Duck;
Stuck it on the table
With its legs stickin' up.

'Bottle Up & Go' - John Lee Hooker.

The beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
so I had one more for desert

To fall in love with Sharon Tate-
And it's too soon-
To carve the inscription inscribed on my tomb"

you and me and all that stuff we're so scared of.

"She comes out of the sun
In a silk dress running like a watercolor in the rain -
Don't bother asking for explanations,
she'll just tell you that she came
In the Year of the Cat"

-or-

"The fishing boats go out across the evening water
Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border,
the wind picks up the waves so loud,
the ghost-moon sails among the clouds,
and turns the rifles into silver
On the Border."

--- both Al Stewart, both from his album "Year of the Cat"

 

[KingKrabb]

Living in a fish eye lens
Caught in the camera eye
I have no heart to lie
I can't pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend

All the world's indeed a stage
And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage

-Rush "Limelight".

I've always felt identified with those lyrics. The power of the Peart.

 

[Pandastylebass]

"We hear your one hand clapping.
It's music to our ears.
You don't like the way we sound.
We don't like the way you hear.
Sorry we ain't hard enough to piss your parents off.
Hatred's not our policy.
We tried that game and lost."
Jawbreaker-Incomplete

Fred Neil wrote the tune, AFAIK. I dug Buzzy Linhart's version of The Bag I'm In.

I burned my fingers on the coffee pot.
The toast was cold and the orange juice was hot.
You say I should start all over, but you know I'd rather not.
The same thing will happen again,
'Cause that's the bag I'm in.

And my all time favorite line:

They'll prob'ly drop the atom bomb the day my ship comes in.
