Memorable Phrases/Lines from Songs

"No no,
No no no no,
No no no no,
There's no limit"

Greatest song ever written............:whistle: !!!
 
A few including a one from a band I went to see tonight, who have some of the most incredible lyrics of the past few years:

'You talk about your politics, and I wonder if you could be one of them,
but you could never kiss a tory boy, without wanting to cut of your tongue again'
Los Campesinos! - The Sea is a Good Place to Think of The Future

'Jesus Christ I'm alone again,
So what did you do those three days you were dead?
Cos this problem's gonna last more than the weekend'
Brand New - Jesus Christ

'They're sharing a drink they call loneliness,
but it's better than drinking alone'
Billy Joel - Piano Man

'Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry,
You said 'I love you like the stars above, I love you til I die',
and there's a place, for us.
You know, the movie song.
When you gonna realise, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet'.
Dire Straits - Romeo & Juliet

To be honest, also the whole of 'brothers in arms' by dire straits, 'stairway to heaven' by Led Zep and 'tonight tonight' by the smashing pumpkins.
 
And everything under the sun is in tune, but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.


And it's wriiten in the starlight
and every line on your palm
we are fools to make war
on our brothers in arms
 
When I woke up
So proud to see you lying naked next to me
And the clothes you wore the night before
We're lying on my bedroom floor

Busted
 
Well I dip my cup of soup back from the gurgling crackling cauldron in some train yard.


That's just 1 of many tongue tying lines in Dean Martin/Glen Campbell's gentle on my mind.

You could add the whole of Piano Man and Goodnight Saigon by Billy Joel, The Gambler by Kenny Rogers and Telegraph Road by Dire Straits to that list at the bottom

They certainly don't write them like that anymore!
 
Some belters here IMO

"Sometimes, it tries to kid me that its just.....a teddy bear. That somehow managed, to vanish in the air

But that is when i must beware....

Of the beast in me"

-------------------------------------------------

"You were born on a black day, shot through with starlight
And all the angels singing, just about got it right."

---------------------------------------------------

"Writing frightening verse, to a bucktooth girl in Luxembourg"

---------------------------------------------------

"I saw her standin on her front lawn just twirlin her baton
Me and her went for a ride sir and ten innocent people died"

---------------------------------------------------

"It's a shadowy world, skies are slippery gray
A woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet
He'll put the priest in his pocket, put the blade to the heat
Take the motherless children off the street
And place them at the feet of a harlot"
