There has been a long-running thread here of 'Best quotes' but maybe it would be interesting to find out folks' favorite lines from songs. To keep it on some sort of track, let's have a few ground rules.
- Attribution is required, who sang it (or wrote it) and where can we hear it? - Shorter is better, four lines maximum, a verse. These should be words of wisdom that can be summoned for inspiration in social emergencies. - If you're an opera fan, you're welcome to post in Italian, just don't expect many high fives from the monolingual among us.
I'll throw out a couple for starters:
When you're rockin' and a rollin' you can't hear your momma call. Little Richard - Good Golly, Miss Molly
All I want in this life of mine is some good clean fun. All I want in this life and time is some hit and run. Little Feat - Fat Man in the Bathtub
"Hello Mr. Soul I dropped by to pick up a reason" Neil Young/Buffalo Springfield "Those jobs are goin' boys, and they ain't comin' back" Bruce Springsteen " 'Cuse me while I kiss the sky" Jimi Hendrix
Ah but are they happy? Youd be surprised: Between the bed and the booze and the shoes They suffer least who suffer what they choose. David Ackles American Gothic
All my words are secondhand and Useless in the face of this Rationale and rhyme and reason Pale beside a single kiss And I've heard so many things I Fail to understand at all I'd settle anytime for Unknown footsteps in the hall outside
