Post Your Favorite Lyric Lines

[DeltaTango]

I saw The Eagles a few months back. When Take It To The Limit was being performed and I heard these lyrics, tears started streaming down my face. It was so emotional.

“And when you're looking for your freedom
Nobody seems to care
And you can't find the door
Can't find it anywhere
When there's nothing to believe in
still you're coming back
You're running back, you're coming back for more
So put me on a highway and show me a sign
take it to the limit one more time”

I have loved The Eagles pretty much my whole life. I don’t know why it affected me that way. I think it was because they are part of the fabric of my life. It was my first time seeing them live too. Fantastic show.

The power of music is just amazing.
The effects are profound.

Bring me a wheel of oaken wood
A rein of polished leather
A Heavy Horse and a tumbling sky
Brewing heavy weather.

Heavy Horses - J Tull

 

[Chrisk-K]

Down the line, don't go over
There's a limit, you went over
So much time, time runs out
Time ran out, make it down
Would you like to go to heaven tonight?

Heaven Tonight by Cheap Trick

And the northern lights commenced to glow
And she said, with a tear in her eye
Watch out where the huskies go,
and don't you eat that yellow snow

Yellow Snow - Frank Zappa

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire

Well, my baby, she don't want me around
She said she's tired of watchin' me fall down
She wants the good life and all the best
But I like that bottle better than the rest

Two immediately come to mind . . .

Do you want to be an angel
Do you want to be a star
Do you want to play some magic on my guitar?
Do you want to be a poet
Do you want to be my string?
You could be anything
Do you want to be the lover of another, undercover?
You could even be the man on the moon

Do you want to be the player
Do you want to be the string?
Let me tell you something
It just don`t mean a thing
You see, it really doesn't matter
When you`re buried in disguise
By the dark glass on your eyes
Though your flesh has crystallized
Still you turn me on
Still you turn me on
Hmm, you turn me on

Do you want to be the pillow where I lay my head
Do you want to be the feathers lying in my bed?
Do you want to be a color cover magazine
Create a scene
Every day a little sadder
A little madder?
Someone get me a ladder

Do you want to be the singer
Do you want to be the song?
Let me tell you something
You just couldn't be more wrong
You see, I really have to tell you
That it all gets so intense
From my experience
It just doesn't seem to make sense
Still you turn me on
Hmm, you turn me on, oh yeah
Hmm, you turn me on

ELP - Still . . . You Turn Me On

As you look around this room tonight
Settle in your seat and dim the lights
Do you want my blood, do you want my tears
What do you want
What do you want from me
Should I sing until I can't sing any more
Play these strings until my fingers are raw
You're so hard to please
What do you want from me

Do you think that I know something you don't know
What do you want from me
If I don't promise you the answers would you go
What do you want from me
Should I stand out in the rain
Do you want me to make a daisy chain for you
I'm not the one you need
What do you want from me

You can have anything you want
You can drift, you can dream, even walk on water
Anything you want

You can own everything you see
Sell your soul for complete control
Is that really what you need

You can lose yourself this night
See inside there is nothing to hide
Turn and face the light

What do you want from me

[L Anthony]

We are going
Heaven knows where we are going
We will know we're there
We will get there
Heaven knows how we will get there
We know we will
It will be hard we know
And the road will be muddy and rough
But we'll get there
Heaven knows how we will get there
We know we will

I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin’ ‘bout half past dead.

I just neeed some place where I can lay my head.

Hey mister can you tell me where a man might find a bed?

He just grinned and shook my hand, no was all he said.

 

[Zooberwerx]

In a G-load disaster from the rate of climb
Sometimes I'd faint and be lost to our side
But there's no reward for failure - but death
So watch me in mirrors keep in the glidepath
