FAVORITE LYRICS? - Midwest Spy - 02-27-2013 Every once in a while (or often actually), a particular lyric will strike me as memorable. Post here when you've got one of those running through your head. All I ask is you give proper credit to the song title and artist. RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Midwest Spy - 02-27-2013 "Would you like to bounce with a brother that's platinum?" -Will Smith, 'Getting Jiggy Wit It' RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - HairOfTheDog - 02-28-2013 So many memorable lyrics running through my head. I love the lyrics to Tangled up in Blue by Bob Dylan. Taxi by Harry Chapin tells a great story too. Year of the Cat by Al Stewart. Last Chance Texaco by Rickie Lee Jones. Crazy River by Robbie Robertson... Lots of great blues lyrics; too many to list. But, I guess if I had to narrow it down to the top 3 most memorable lyrical songs ever: 1. "Don't break my heart, my achy breaky heart..." -Billy Ray Cyrus, Achy Breaky Heart 2. "Who let the dogs out, woof woof woof ... who let the dogs out, woof woof woof..." -Baha Men, Who Let the Dogs Out 3. "What you gonna do with all that junk? All that junk inside that trunk? I'ma get, get, get, get you drunk, get you love drunk off my hump." -Black Eyed Peas, My Humps RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - crash - 02-28-2013 And it's true we are immune When fact is fiction and TV reality And today the millions cry We eat and drink while tomorrow they die Wipe your tears away... Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2 RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - cladking - 02-28-2013 There are lots of great lyrics but very few were from channeling dead Egfyptian kings. ;wink: LITTLE BIT OF ME -melanie '69? Balanced on the mountain With the people all around Who say that I've been up too long And they want to bring me down Well I wouldn't mind the falling...no It's the ones who come to see If all I've got left inside Is a little bit of me Won't you hold my hand now Hold my hand tight Hold lightly in the day And hold harder at night Well I don't mind the coming down It's the way it's got to be What I hope I got left inside Is a little bit of me Now when it is all over And I become a seed They'll plant me in the universe Where the balance gotta be Now I don't mind the dyin', no. It's the way it's got to be But I hope I leave behind Just a little bit of me A little bit of me Balanced on my mountain With the people all around Who say that I've been up too long And they want to bring me down I don't mind the coming down It's the way it's gotta be What I hope I got left inside Is a little bit of me Hope I got something left for me Hope I got something left for me Hope I got something left for me RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Midwest Spy - 03-05-2013 If you should ever leave me Well life would still go on believe me The world could show nothing to me So what good would living do me? - Beach Boys, God Only Knows RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Midwest Spy - 03-05-2013 Baby's into runnin round hanging with the crowd Puttin your business in the street and talkin out loud Sayin you bought her this and that and how much you gonna spend I swear she must believe its all heaven sent Hey boy, you better bring the chick around to the sad sad truth about the dirty lowdown I wonder wonder wonder who taught her how to talk like that I wonder wonder wonder who gave her that big idea -Boz Scaggs, Lowdown RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Midwest Spy - 03-05-2013 You got your nuclear boots and your drip dry gloves And when you bite your lip it's a reaction to luh-u-uv. - The Cars, My Best Friends Girl RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Midwest Spy - 03-05-2013 There goes my hero Watch him as he goes There goes my hero He's ordinary. - Foo Fighters, My Hero RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Midwest Spy - 03-05-2013 Half of the time we're gone but we don't know when, we don't know where. - Simon & Garfunkel, The Only Living Boy In New York RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Midwest Spy - 03-05-2013 Hey, what's the point of this? Hey, what's your favorite song? Maybe we could hum along I think you're smart you sweet thing Tell me your name, I'm dyin here Hey, maybe just a smile Oh hey, did you know that I can't dance? Could we talk for awhile? I think you're smart, you sweet thing Tell me your sign, I'm dying here - The Flys, Got You (Where I Want You) RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Midwest Spy - 03-05-2013 And it all comes down to you Well you know that it does And lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice Oh and it lights up the night! - Fleetwood Mac, Gypsy RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Midwest Spy - 03-05-2013 Baby sneezes, mommy pleases, daddy breezes in. So good on paper, so romantic, but so bewildering. I know nothing stays the same, but if you're willing to play the game, it's coming around again So don't mind if I fall apart, there's more room in a broken heart. And I believe in love, what else can I do, I'm so in love with you. - Carly Simon, Coming Around Again RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Midwest Spy - 03-05-2013 A moment of love, A dream aloud, A kiss, a cry, our right, our wrongs... Just stay there, cause I'll keep coming over... While our blood's still young, it's so young, it runs... Won't stop til it's over Won't stop to surrender... - The Temper Trap, Sweet Disposition RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - QueenBee - 03-05-2013 Remember when you ran away and I got on my knees and begged you not to leave because I'd go berserk? Well, you left me anyhow and then the days got worse and worse and now you see I've gone completely out of my mind And, they're coming to take me away, ha, ha They're coming to take me away, ho, ho, hee, hee, ha, ha To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time And I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats And they're coming to take me away, ha, ha You thought it was a joke and so you laughed, you laughed when I had said that losing you would make me flip my lid, right? You know you laughed I heard you laugh, you laughed, you laughed and laughed and then you left but now you know I'm utterly mad And, they're coming to take me away, ha, ha They're coming to take me away, ho, ho, hee, hee, ha, ha To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds And basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes And they're coming to take me away, ha, ha I cooked your food, I cleaned your house and this is how you pay me back for all my kind unselfish loving deeds, huh? Well, you just wait, they'll find you yet And when they do, they'll put you in the a.s.p.c.a, you mangy mutt And, they're coming to take me away, ha, ha They're coming to take me away, ho, ho, hee, hee, ha, ha To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time And I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats And they're coming to take me away, ha, ha To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds And basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes And they're coming to take me away, ha, ha To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time And I'll be happy to see those nice young men...

You'll never know how often I think of both you and Spy while listening to music. I'm surprised that Tequila and Wipe Out didn't make your list. How 'bout Sanford and Townsend's Smoke from a Distant Fire? And then there's this . . .

Smoke for a Distant Fire is a great song; had almost forgotten about it. I don't know if you like Loggins and Messina, but I do. I thought about you (and MS, that perv) when I was listening to albums on the weekend. I hadn't played "Sittin' In" for a long time. Still have to sing Danny's Song out loud whenever I hear it. Thanks for the video; a new one to me. Like it. I'm betting that MS will appreciate it. He was on my ass yesterday for not offering pussy in my posts. RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - HairOfTheDog - 03-05-2013 My brain (or fingers?) is truly scrambled today. Smoke from a Distant Fire. Found The Midnight Special performance. I liked Wolfman Jack. I wonder if MS had a catchy handle back when he DJ'd. RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Midwest Spy - 03-05-2013 No catchy handle HotD, but, I can still puke (DJ speak for talking like a well... DJ). My kids love it when I do it for them, or play an old tape. Tiki thanks for restoring some semblance of sanity up in this bitch by acknowledging that Dan Fogelberg is/was a tremendous artist. Everyone around here (except Sally, I really believe she has no idea who he is) is pretending they don't like 'Heart Hotels', 'Make Love Stay', 'Longer', etc., and of course, the songs you mentioned. It's nice to know that too (for Ramsey) smart, beautiful women think of me when they're alone listening to music. I'm truly in awe. RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - HairOfTheDog - 03-05-2013 I already told you that I like Dan Fogelberg. I just don't have the obsessive fascination that you demonstrated when you passionately lamented about how he had gone unrecognized as a great songwriter. I think he is well recognized as such. I liked his collaborations with Tim Weisberg and spun Twin Sons of Different Mothers many many times. One of my favorites is the only (I think) song on the album written solely by Fogelberg, The Power of Gold. Here you go, Love Doctor: The story is told of the Power of gold And its lure on the unsuspecting It glitters and shines It badgers and blinds And constantly needs protecting. Balance the cost of the soul you lost With the dreams you lightly sold Are you under The power of gold? The letters and calls Got you climbing the walls And everyone wants a favor They beg to remind you Of times left behind you But you know the past is a loser. The face you`re wearing is different now And the days run hot and cold Are you under The power of gold? You`re a creature of habit Run like a rabbit Scared of a fear you can`t name Your own paranoia Is looming before you But nobody thinks that It`s a game. Balance the cost of the soul you lost With the dreams you lightly sold Then tell me That you`re free Of the power of gold. The women are lovely The wine is superb But there`s something about the song That disturbs you... |
