RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Midwest Spy - 01-20-2015 The 1999 album is still my favorite from Prince. Publicly, I'm not allowed to say that I like that Bonnie Tyler song, privately, between you and I, I can. The Clash is good and Dirty Laundry, along with 1984's Boys Of Summer, are two good ones from Henley. RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Midwest Spy - 02-19-2015 I can't overdo Michael McDonald. I need him in small doses, but his vocal on What A Fool Believes still gets me every time. As a Doobie Brothers song I never would've imagined the tune was co written between McDonald and Kenny Loggins. Nice work guys. "But he can still believe there's a place in her life, he never made her think twice. What a fool believes."

RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - crash - 02-24-2015 Like a coin that'll never get tossed, Rolling home to you.. RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Midwest Spy - 03-05-2015 Midnight hour, almost over Time is running out for the magic pair I know you gave the best that you have But one more chance Couldn't be all that hard to bear. Wait for me, please Wait for me Alright, I guess That's more than I should ask But won't you Wait for me, please Wait for me Although I know the light is fading fast Hall & Oates, Wait For Me A great live version on YouTube with Daryl and Todd Rundgren doing this. RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Blindgreed1 - 08-27-2015 "Torches" The soul of the nation slowly withers (In the howl of the empty wind) As the spring lays crushed beneath the hammer (The invisible flame) My vision sears the crowded square (As the mouth of injustice grins) This routed (Fire runs through my veins) I choose to expire (As the steel in my nerve sets in) You're all on the brink of compromise (I carry the cries) Mass concessions in defeated eyes (In my end a new world begins) A terrible kindness to break the thrall (It's not me who dies) I strike the match And let it fall Oppression, injustice, self-immolation I am the inferno, I am legion. Oppression, injustice, self-immolation I am the inferno, I am legion. I am... the inferno, I am... legion. Some run screaming Some sit silently An agonizing gift of charred humanity My footsteps They will echo through eternity A seismic scorching outcry of indignity I write my blackened name, carved into the wind I fill your hearts with rage I leave you ash and legend. (Fire runs through my veins...) A terrible kindness to break the thrall I strike the match Fire runs through my veins Oppression, injustice, self-immolation I am the inferno, I am legion. Oppression, injustice, self-immolation I am the inferno, I am legion. RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Blindgreed1 - 08-28-2015 Overlord You never proved me anything but right You're all surprises, consistency, defied An overwhelming sense of predictability I don't say we slide into mediocrity (Another day) spent buried in the shadow of your doubt (Always the same) but still you refuse to figure out You will destroy you Distorted, tore yourself in two Your will absorbed you You can't ignore you anymore A new time of declaration of distress Strife, misery, and the pursuit of unhappiness Endless complaining, no accountability No reek of privilege and weightless tragedy (Another day) spent buried in the shadow of your doubt (Always the same) but still you refuse to figure out You will destroy you Distorted, tore yourself in two Your will absorbed you You can't ignore you anymore Cry over the silken pillow Clipped wings beneath a crooked halo A perfect child who never looks at the mirror Right in your face, but not any clearer A problem hidden in plain view Is staring right back at You All the world's a stage But you are the only player A black hole in the center of the universe, a dark cloud of despair Caught in an endless rut A crisis without solution Someone should stitch your mouth shut And solve your fucking problem Strife Another day in misery Always the same Strife Another day in misery Always the same You will destroy you Distorted, tore yourself in two Your will absorbed you You can't ignore you anymore Anymore Anymore Anymore Anymore Anymore RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Donovan - 08-28-2015 I like phrases that resonate. Not always whole songs. -Mama always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun, but Mama, that's where the fun is. -Driving along at 57 thousand miles an hour, look at those people standing on the petals of a flower, look at those petals pumping for a little bit of power. -She's got her jaws now locked down in a smile, but nothing is all right. And I want something else to get me through this life. - When you're at the end of the road And you lost all sense of control And your thoughts have taken their toll When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul Your faith walks on broken glass And the hangover doesn't pass Nothing's ever built to last You're in ruins -Low-down leaving sun Done did everything that needs done. Woe is me, why can't I see I'd best be leaving well enough alone? Them neon light nights, couldn't stay out of fights, Keep a-haunting me in memories There's one in every crowd for crying out loud. Why was it always turning out to be me? RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Blindgreed1 - 08-31-2015 (08-28-2015, 09:37 PM)Donovan Wrote: I like phrases that resonate. Not always whole songs.Me too, it just so happens the ones I posted resonate through the entire song. I like the whole journey through both of those. The entire album is very well written and produced start to finish, but alas few here appreciate Randy's vocals. And by few I mean me. RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Midwest Spy - 10-10-2015 Remember when the sound of little feet Was the music We danced to week to week? Brought back the love, we found trust Vowed we never give it up Remember when? Remember when thirty seemed so old Now looking back its just a stepping stone To where we are, Where we've been Said we'd do it all again Remember when? Remember when we said when we turned gray When the children grow up and move away We won't be sad, we'll be glad For all the life we've had And we'll remember when Alan Jackson RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - sally - 10-10-2015 Puke.
