Favourite song lyric to quote? There are a lot of good ones out there; curious to hear what everyone's answers will be.
Mine, ATM: "Presuming that all things are equal/ who'd want to be men of the people/ When there's people like you?"
Now sit right down and you'll hear a tale. a tale of a fateful trip - that started from this tropic port, aboard this tiny ship.
The mate was a mighty sailing man, ths skipper brave and sure. Five passengers set sail that day for a three hour tour - A three hour tour....
the weather started getting rough - the tiny ship was tossed . If not for the courage of the fearless crew , the Minnow would be lost - the Minnow would be lost! ....
@PappyOnWings the ship struck ground on the shore of this unchartered dessert isle , with Gilligan! the Skipper too! the millionaire and his wife! The movie star , the professor and MaryAnn. .here on Gilligan's Isle!
So funny
Some people wear their heart upon their sleeve; I wear mine underneath my right pant leg, strapped to my boot.
Don't think cuz I'm easy, I'm naive. Don't think I won't pull it out, don't think I won't shoot!
some people wear their smile
like a disguise
those people who smile a lot
watch the eyes
i know it 'cuz i'm like that a lot
you think everything's okay
and it is
'til it's not
Yes! Remember you were warned! ❤
I have bazillions but here's the first to pop into my head;
"They say Goldfish have no memories
I guess their lives are much like mine.
And the little plastic castles,
Are a surprise every time".- Ani Difranco
Oh that's beautiful.
From that album? I just wanna get my feet wet until I drown.
@Nottheonlyone love Swandive
Captain Jack will get you high tonight.
Take you to your special island.
@webbew1 Good old Captain Jack will get you by, just a little push and you'll be smiling
Well it’s more like spoken word set to a beat but I absolutely love this lyric:
“The reason there’s smog in Los Angeles
Is cause if we could see the stars
If we could see the context of the universe we exist in
We could see how small each one of us is
Against the vastness of what we don’t know
No one would ever audition for a McDonald’s commercial again
And then where would we be?
No frozen dinners and no TV
And Is that a world we wanna text in?”
Tiny Glowing Screens by Watsky from his album Cardboard Castles.
I love Watsky! I started out as a spoken word artist and ended up doing the same competition that he had done a few years earlier.
@TheFighter23 Wow another Watsky fan? And you write poetry too?! I used to enter poetry competitions as well. Have you listened to his latest album yet? There are some really great songs on it
all i need is my leather
one t-shirt and two socks
i'll keep my hands warm in your pockets
and you can use the engine block
we'll ride out to california
with my arms around your chest
and i'll pretend that this is real
'cuz this is what i like best
Love Ani!
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose...and what,exactly is wrong with that?! Works for me!
One of my favorites!
I get by with a little help from my friends.
We always did feel the same
We just saw it from a different point
Of view
Tangled up in blue. Bob Dylan
Favourite lyric for the imagery: "My time is a piece of wax, falling on a termite, who's choking on a splinter." Beck: Loser

also all the euphemism in the Bloodhound gang's song: The Bad Touch.

Almost all the lyrics of Barenaked Ladies are really funny: like "I just made you say underwear" [azlyrics.com]
Best lyrics with rythm: Barenaked Ladies: "Chickity China the Chinese chicken....
[azlyrics.com]
Best rhyme that makes no sense: Barenaked Ladies: "I'd buy you a green dress (but not a real green dress, that's cruel)"

Sorry for the long post...
Tool- Rosetta Stoned:
It was so real
Like I woke up in Wonderland
All sorta terrifying
I don't wanna be all alone
While I tell this story
And can anyone tell me why
Y'all sound like Peanuts parents?
Will I ever be coming down?
This is so real
Finally, it's my lucky day
See, my heart is racing
'Cause this shit never happens to me
Love this song! I can hear the words ringing out as I read them, it's always that way with Maynard.
"We don't need no education / we don't need no thought control'
What have we done maggie what have we done
Pink Floyd
"..when the money's good
the Times you have
Fun'n'games galore...
But you spend your money
And lie in bed forgotten
Wonderin' what you did it for..
...no one came from miles around
And said "Man, who's he"
I could drink a case of you and still be on my feet. I love that song so much that I once kept hitting the replay button on my car CD player for 100 miles. Every line in that song resonates with me.
