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
By New Edition

“On a clear day
Rise and look around you
And you will see who you are”

“On a clear day
Rise and look around you
And you will see who you are”

Does rain affect your vision, Walker?

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

[Impenitent]

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

Princess of the night - Saxon

[Impenitent]

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

[Walker]

Lots of favorites.


“On a clear day
Rise and look around you
And you will see who you are”

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]

[Walker]

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.

[Walker]

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

[promethean75]

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

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.
