favorite line from a song?

[BillSmith]

In the vein of the above,

"You met another and Pfft! you were gone."

 

[Jammer]

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port
Aboard this tiny ship.

 

[BillSmith]

Whenever we took the boat out onto the bay, sang the line,

...a three-hour tour.

 

[Pushrod]

Remember Donovan?

"Oh, the intergalactic laxative
Will get you from here to there.
Relieve you and believe me,
Without a worry or care.
If shitting is your problem
When you're out there in the stars,
Oh, the intergalactic laxative
Will get you from here to Mars."

 

[davidji]

If these dogs could talk, they'd sure tell on you
We're all lucky barkin' is all they can do

 

[Rtmac]

Life gets hard and then it gets good
Like I always knew it would

 

[littlebeast]

one
step
closer
and you’re all mine

 

[Bzwrthy]

Ain't no shame ladies, do your thing
Just make sure you ahead of the game

 

[ScottRNelson]

From 1958 by Lou Monte, sung in Italian, then English:

Lazy Mary you better get up
She answered back I am not able
Lazy Mary you better get up
We need the sheets for the table.

 

[clearspot]

Utah _Phillips wrote this on a troopship when he got a dear john letter
If the ladies were blackbirds and the ladies were thrushes
I’d lie there for hours in the chilly cold marshes
If the ladies were squirrel’s with high bushy tails
I’d fill up my shotgun with rock salt and nails

 

[littlebeast]

give to me your leather
take from me, my lace

 

[Tally Whacker]

Whatever became of the child I was
I never want to lose her and
I won't give her up
And now my heart is harder
My skin is getting tougher and tougher

 

[littlebeast]

out there in the spotlight, you’re a million miles away
every ounce of energy, you try to give away

smoking the days last cigarette…

 

[Bzwrthy]

I don’t want you to want me
You ain’t what I need

 

[littlebeast]

that was love
and it’s an ache i still remember

 

[tuxumino]

All in all you are a very dying race
Placing trust upon a cruel world
You never had the things you thought you should have had
And you'll not get them now
And all the while in perfect time
Your tears are falling on the ground

Squonk from "A Trick of the Tail" by GENESIS

 

[Bzwrthy]

I got a mind in the gutter
Trouble on one hand, a beer in the other

 

[littlebeast]

will you still be there when i round the curve
will you hold my hand when i lose my nerve

 

[Bzwrthy]

So long, four two wheels turning
Got a tank full of gas, down the road, I'm burning
Can't say I would and I can't say I wouldn't
If I don't come back, don't come lookin'

 

[littlebeast]

have said it before, but i’ll say it again…

‘was it good for us, or only good for you?’

 

[Tally Whacker]

I got lots of jealous lovers that all wish they had me back
Got a pistol for a mouth, my own mama gave me that
Making my own road out of gravel and some wine
And if I have to fall then it won't be in your line

 

[littlebeast]

you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you’re drinkin’
and you spend your life just thinkin’ of how to get away

 

[littlebeast]

tell me where to lay my head
not with me is all she said

 

[900ss]

Really don't mind if you sit this one out.
My word's but a whisper—your deafness a shout.
I may make you feel, but I can't make you think.

 

[900ss]

Turn around bright eyes
