More Song Lyrics
The last ones were all quite maudlin. Most of these are happier:
I saw this thing on ITV the other week,
Says if she plays with her hair she's probably keen.
She's playing with her her well regularly,
So I reckon I could well be in.
The Streets - Could Well Be In
In 999 they make a living from crime.
The house is always empty 'cos they're all doin' time.
Space - Neighbourhood
I tried to get away, but I couldn’t get far
'Cos the man with the tow-truck repossessed my car
Grandmaster Flash - The Message
Sunday morning, I'm waking up
Can't even focus on the coffee cup
Don't even know whose bed I'm in
Where do I stop, where do I begin?
The Chemical Brothers - Where Do I Begin
Nothing can compare
To when you roll the dice
And swear your love's for me.
Finlay Quaye - Dice
I took shelter from a shower
And I stepped into your arms
On a rainy night in Soho
The wind was whistling all its charms.
The Pogues - Rainy Night in Soho

Not bad, even though I don't recognise some of them. Still, I always thought the best lines in "Rainy Night in Soho" were:
"We watched our friends grow up together,
and we watched them as they fell.
Some of them fell into heaven,
some of them fell into hell."
Then again, I have more of an affinity for melancholy than you do.
This whole song is great, can't really just sample one bit
"Solsbury Hill" - Peter Gabriel
Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
Had to listen had no choice
I did not believe the information
(I) just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom boom boom
"Son," he said "Grab your things,
I've come to take you home."
To keep in silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Tho' my life was in a rut
"Till I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" he said "Grab your things
I've come to take you home."
(Back home.)
When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" I said "You can keep my things,
they've come to take me home."
Why do you persist in vexating me. Your quotes are... well... there not really that powerful or thought provoking.
Example: It's a life time garuntee, stuffed in a coffin, 10% for free. A red light special at the mauzoleum.
Can you see the hidden meaning? I heard those lyrics a hundred or more times without realising the meaning.
Ciaran McGrath has the right idea.
My quotes aren't supposed to be thought-provoking or powerful. They are simply quotes I like.
Yes, the quadlet that Ciaran chose is better than those I chose, but for some reason I prefer my choice. It was a toss up between the two though.
