What's your favorite verse from a song?
_______
One of my all-time favorite verses is this:
If I've built this fortress around your heart
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
Then let me build a bridge
For I cannot fill the chasm
Let me set the battlements on fire
From the song:
Fortress Around Your Heart
by Sting
What's yours?

All I keep thinking about is her, in my arms
(Got to see what love is about)
And I won't be the same, until she is mine
And my friends keep telling me to
(Cool it now)
You got to cool it now
From the song:
Cool It Now

Lots of favorites.

Rise and look around you

Re: What's your favorite verse from a song?
Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
And the seasons, they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return, we can only look
Behind, from where we came
And go round and round and round, in the circle game
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
And the seasons, they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return, we can only look
Behind, from where we came
And go round and round and round, in the circle game

She used to be an iron horse
Twenty years ago
Used to bring the mail to me
Through the ice and snow
I've sat alone and watched her
Steaming through the night
Ninety tons of thunder
Lighting up the sky

Re: What's your favorite verse from a song?
and of course, my namesake:
All men know what waits for us
Wooden box, worm and dust
Maybe Heaven, pearly gates
Hasty prayer when it's too late
Burn in hell, all is lost
Purgatory, fingers crossed
Which or Who, yours or mine?
Eternity's a long, long time
No Remorse - Motorhead
-Imp

First verse:
Nature’s song is never wrong
Nature sings the raindrop song
Pattering on the window pane
Tapping patterns on my brain
Second verse
Harbal sings the jester song
Lyrics to warble patterns of phew
…
[Chorus]

The Hook
From back in the olden days not so long ago, when offensive was funny.
Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed
That's what I to my baby said,
Women's liberation is a-going to your head,
Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed.

Chorus
You'll be leaving on a new train
Far away from this world of pain
And when you look out your window, you'll see
Your home, your baby, and your family
No melted ice cubes in a paper cup
Hell, you'll be happy, you'll be all shook up
The friends that greet you will be simple and plain
When you step down from that new train
- John Prine

No melted ice cubes in a paper cup
Hell, you'll be happy, you'll be all shook up
The friends that greet you will be simple and plain
When you step down from that new train

Bitches ain't shit and they ain't sayin' nothin'
A hundred mothafuckas can't tell me nothin'
I beez in the trap, be-beez in the trap
I beez in the trap, be-beez in the trap
From the song:
Beez In The Trap
By Nicki Minaj

Another favorite:
Maybe a great magnet pulls
All souls towards truth
Or maybe it is life itself
Feeds wisdom
To its youth
From the song:
Constant Craving

She was a girl from Birmingham
She just had an abortion
She was a case of insanity
Her name was Pauline, she lived in a tree
(A CUNTREE)
Sex Pistols, Bodies.

Oh wow. Profound. They were a pretty pathetic band. 'Punk' had very little going for it apart from spitting and vomiting, until it evolved into actual music.attofishpi wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2024 11:55 am She was a girl from Birmingham
