Broadband up and working has got me chilling out to music again - too lazy otherwise!

Always been a bit into stand-out phrases/lines

On the amusing side - from 1 JB
'Most of the folk who retire in Florida are wrinkly and they walk with a crutch'
'These days, I'm up About the time I used to go to bed'!
'I made enough money to buy Miami, But I pissed it away so fast'
or a different JB
'It'll put a smile on your face to see a Chevrolet with a Soviet transmission'

In a somewhat more serious vein
'You measure peace with guns Progress in mega-tons'

Any that particularly linger with you - for one reason or another?
 
Military Intelligence, 2 words combined that can't make sense...........Hanger 18 by Megadeth

And if God is in the Heavens, why does God let Children die........Holy War by Thin Lizzy..

What you own is your own Kingdom, what do is your own Glory, what you Love is your own Power, what you Live is your own Story. In your head is the answer let it guide you along, let your heart be the anchor and the best of your song. You don't get Something for Nothing, you can't have Freedom for Free. You won't get wise with the sleep still in your eyes no matter what your dream might be.......Something for Nothing by Rush...

Rich man wanna be king

Tell me that it's true
Tell me there's a reason
Why I'm seeing what I do
Tell me there's a heaven
Where all those people go
Tell me they're all happy now
Papa tell me that it's so
 
Were just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
running over the same old ground, and how we have found, the same old fears,
Wish you were here?
Sorry, couldn't resist after wading through some of the threads recently.;)

And then one day you find, 10 yrs have got behind you.
No one told you when to run.
You missed the starting gun.
Yes Floyd again, but oh so true. :(

A bit of light relief...
I chop down trees, i wear high heels,
Suspendies and a bra.
I wish i'd been a girlie,
Just like my dear papa. :lol:

Woke up next morning with a trash can head
When I looked to my left, oh know, I wished I was dead
There’s Frankenstein's daughter all curled up on me
I said: “I gotta go home, it’s an emergency”
She said: “But you are home” - YnT
 
I'm with Pathetic Shark and so many Bruce "nuggets" that just seem to describe where you're at and how you're feeling better than you ever could. Being a fan is one long killing me softly moment...

"Is a dream a lie if it don't come true or is it something worse"
"God have mercy on the man who doubts what he's sure of"
"You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above"
"The lights go out and there's just the three of us, you and me and all that stuff we're so scared of"

I could go on and on and on but you'd get bored!!

And the classic:
Tumble outta bed
And I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition - Dolly Parton
