Favorite Line From Any Song

[jnoble]

So much style without substance

So much stuff without style

Its hard to recognise the real thing

That comes along once in awhile

[goose]

He's like a boxer that had to retire after winning but killing a man...All of the moves, but none of the courage, afraid to throw a punch that might land

 

 

[goose]

Well your CD collection looks shiny and costly.

How much did you pay for your bad Moto Guzzi?

 

And how much did you spend on your black leather jacket?

Is it you or your parents in this income tax bracket?

 

And how much did you pay for your rock'n'roll t-shirt

That proves you were there

That you heard of them first?

 

How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?

[taurus]

Always one of my fave lines and particularly useful these days

 

"you can twist perceptions

reality won't budge"

[Fridge]

Hey, don't look now

But there goes God

In his sexy pants and his sausage dog

And he can't stand Beelzebub

'Cause he looks so good in black, in black

[driventotheedge]

Not a huge Bruce fan but always liked this line.............

 

Some silicone sister

With the managing mister

Told me I got what it takes

[goose]

Not a huge Bruce fan but always liked this line.............

 

Some silicone sister

With the managing mister

Told me I got what it takes

That entire song is a lyrical gem.

Leave out conditions

Courageous convictions

Will drag the dream into existence

[Crimsonmistymemory]

Leave out conditions

Courageous convictions

Will drag the dream into existence

Now that is hilarious! I read through this whole thread to make sure no one had wrote this and yet here it is! I this line from vital signs!

Well since my favs was already taken I go with.

In their own image

Their world is fashioned

No wonder

They don't understand...

[Jaminbenb]

"...We are only immortal, for a limited time! "

[Flavia2112]

It's a fine line between love and illusion

[rugen]

He's a radio receiver

Tuned to factories and farms

He's a writer and ranger and a young boy bearing arms

He's got a problem with his powers

His weapons on patrol

He's got to walk a fine line

And keep his self-control…

[driventotheedge]

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

[driventotheedge]

You don't see no hearses with luggage racks

[driventotheedge]

I've been searchin' for the daughter of the devil himself

I've been searchin' for an angel in white

I've been waiting for a woman who's a little of both

I can feel her but she's nowhere in sight

 

 

(describes the male's endless search for the woman who's shall we say, uninhibited behind closed doors but a perfect lady when she's not)

[driventotheedge]

Come you masters of war

You that build the big guns

You that build the death planes

You that build all the bombs

You that hide behind walls

You that hide behind desks

I just want you to know

I can see through your masks

 

You that never done nothin'

But build to destroy

You play with my world

Like it's your little toy

You put a gun in my hand

And you hide from my eyes

And you turn and run farther

When the fast bullets fly

 

Like Judas of old

You lie and deceive

A world war can be won

You want me to believe

But I see through your eyes

And I see through your brain

Like I see through the water

That runs down my drain

 

You fasten all the triggers

For the others to fire

Then you sit back and watch

When the death count gets higher

You hide in your mansion

While the young people's blood

Flows out of their bodies

And is buried in the mud

 

You've thrown the worst fear

That can ever be hurled

Fear to bring children

Into the world

For threatening my baby

Unborn and unnamed

You ain't worth the blood

That runs in your veins

 

How much do I know

To talk out of turn

You might say that I'm young

You might say I'm unlearned

But there's one thing I know

Though I'm younger than you

That even Jesus would never

Forgive what you do

 

Let me ask you one question

Is your money that good?

Will it buy you forgiveness

Do you think that it could?

I think you will find

When your death takes its toll

All the money you made

Will never buy back your soul

 

And I hope that you die

And your death will come soon

I'll follow your casket

By the pale afternoon

And I'll watch while you're lowered

Down to your deathbed

And I'll stand over your grave

'Til I'm sure that you're dead

Each time we bathe our reactions

In artificial light

Each time we alter the focus

To make the wrong moves seem right

[IbanezJem]

Shadows are falling and I've been here all day

It's too hot to sleep, time is running away

Feel like my soul has turned into steel

I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal

There's not even room enough to be anywhere

It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

 

Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain

Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain

She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind

She put down in writing what was in her mind

I just don't see why I should even care

It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

 

Well, I've been to London and I've been to gay Paris

I've followed the river and I got to the sea

I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies

I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes

Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear

It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

 

I was born here and I'll die here against my will

I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still

Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb

I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from

Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer

It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

[jnoble]

I've always liked the sad last line from Panacea

"My heart will lie beside you

And my wondering body grieves..."

[jnoble]

Oh this thread is any line from any song not just Rush.

 

I generally enjoyed almost anything Bernie Taupin wrote for Elton John to put music to. Especially their lesser known and non-hit songs.

[driventotheedge]

Looking California

But feeling Minnesota

[goose]

Looking California

But feeling Minnesota

Indeed.

[condemned2bfree]

Now the rats they leave one stricken ship for another sailing past

Your world was going nowhere slow while ours goes nowhere fast

And now it's gone, all is gone

But these changing winds can blow cold and hostile

[condemned2bfree]

So damn all the world, damn their demands

And all the things that they say

'Cause they always play love songs

When you're far away
