Simple concept, let's do it!

 

Here's a few of mine!

 

"Many is a word that only leaves you guessing, guessing bout a thing you really ought to know"--Led Zep, Over The Hills And Far Away

 

"One and one don't make two, one and one make one"--The Who, Bargain

 

"Lord of lords, King of kings, has returned to lead his children home, to take them to the new Jerusalem!"--Genesis, Supper's Ready

 

"Cause love's such an old fashion word, and love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night, and love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves"--Queen and David Bowie, Under Pressure

 

"The most endangered species, the honest man, will survive annihilation, building a world, state of integrity, sensitive, open, and strong"--you all know this one

I have loads of them.

 

If I could only recall them off the top of my head as I used to be able to. :(

 

The only one I can think of right now is this one:

 

 

Out of mind far from view

Beyond the reach of the nightmare come true

 

The Moody Blues, New Horizons

I felt this a bit too rude to put in "Inspirational quotes", so thank you Entre Perpetou for this opportunity:

 

"God, please f--k my mind for good."

-Don Van Vliet/Capt. Beefheart

Do you ever get the feeling that the story's too damn real and in the present tense?

Or that everybody's on the stage, and it seems like you're the only person sitting in the audience?

Easy dreamer in the chain that really fits you - Yes / Heart Of The Sunrise

 

The pool's in but the patio ain't dry - The Rolling Stones / Little T & A

 

It's one o'clock and time for lunch, When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench, I can always hear them talk. - Genesis / I Know What I like

 

I got a Gibson, Without a case, But I can't get that even tanned look on my face, Ill fitting clothes, I blend in the crowd, Fingers so clumsy, Voice too loud. - The Who / I'm One

 

Step on the ladder, toe in the pool, Your such a natural, you don't need no acting school, Don't need no casting couch or be a star in bed, Never, never, never let success go to you pretty head - The Rolling Stones / Tops

When you're searching your soul

When you're searching for pleasure

How often, pain is all you'll find

But when you're coasting along and nobody's trying too hard

You can turn around and like where you are

 

When I'm thinking about you - the Sundays

I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes

And just for that one moment I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes

You'd know what a drag it is to see you

 

 

One of the great put downs of all-time IMO. Bob Dylan and the song is "Positively 4th Street".

Another favorite of mine from Dylan:

 

 

 

You say you're looking for someone

Who'll pick you up each time you fall

Someone to get you flowers constantly

An' to come every time you call

A lover for your life an' nothing more

But it ain't me, babe

My neighbours they all disappear

The moment that I get too near

I stick out like elephant ears

On Misery Street

 

"Greetings from Shitsville" by The Wildhearts

 

 

The gap that grows between our lives

The gap our parents never had

 

"The Everlasting" by Manic Street Preachers

 

You take great pride in never having lived up to anything

Lie, steal, cheat and kill, a real bad guy,

Your daddy is a wino and your mummys quite insane

From altar boy to sewer rat you don't give a damn

 

"Liar" by Megadeth

"The sun is oh so desperate to set tonight, ashamed to light a lie" Sonata Arctica - Zeroes

 

That's brilliant.

 

Sonata Arctica are brilliant.

In with a left hook is the Bethnal Green Butcher,

But he's countered on the right by Mick's chain-gang fight,

And Liquid Len, with his smashed bottle men,

Is lobbing Bob the Nob across the gob.

With his kissar in a mess, Bob seems under stress,

But Jones the Jug hits Len right in the mug;

And Harold Demure, who's still not quite sure,

Fires acorns from out of his sllliiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnng.

 

(HERE COMES THE CAVALRY!)
