Best line from a song... (Page 5)

Spanish Train by Chris DeBurg

... And far away in some recess

the Lord and the Devil are now playing chess

And the Devil still cheats and wins more souls,

.. and as for the Lord well .... he's just doing his best!

And I said: "Lord, oh Lord, don't let him win,

the sun is down and night's driving in,

That train is dead on time,

Many souls are on the line,

Oh Lord .... don't let him win ........

I been up, I been down.
Take my word, my way around.
I ain't askin' for much.
I said, Lord, take me downtown,
I'm just lookin' for some tush.

ZZ TOP

Philosipher and ploughmen, each must know his part to sow a new mentality, closer to the heart;

You can be the captain and I will draw the chart...sailing into destiny, closer to the heart

Both lines from a great song.

(sorry...feeling music snobbish today)

Now Now Jim We know you are mad because we are not talking about your favorites Like Spandau Ballet or Flock of Seagulls.. Just havin fun

Ouch!!! That's harsh!!

"then you went and said that you didn't understand, how a girl so beautiful could love a guy like him, now that's a question you should be saving for your wife, and while you're on the subject ask her where she was last night, because she didn't go to her sister's for a drink, she was backstage at a show sitting on my knee, telling us about how you walked in on her, with her hands inside her pants and singing all the words"

a song for the critics (not the name) by Her Space Holiday

She is frequently kind
And she’s suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She’s nobody’s fool
But she can’t be convicted
She’s earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she’s always a woman to me

billy joel...'she's always a woman'

this song reminds me of me sometimes.....

"spinning laughing and singing to her favorite song, a little girl with nothing wrong, is all alone, eyes wide open always hoping for the sun, and she'll sing her song to anyone who comes along."

Norah Jones - Seven Years

Red hair with a curl,

Mellow roll for the flavor and two eyes for peeping.

Can't keep away from the girl,

These two sides of my brain need to have a meeting.

White Stripes, Fell in Love with a Girl from "White Blood Cells"

I like to rock out to that song while I'm driving, among other White Stripe songs. I do not, however, like the joss stone remake of this song. 

p.s. Bobby says it's fine, he don't consider it cheatin'

That is one of my favorite songs. Am I the only one who recently learned this was about him being pissed off at some chick for taking too long to get ready to go out??!

Hilarious.

Um, I believe that's a commercial.

If it were easy as fishin'

You could be a musician....

It's the work that we avoid

and we're all self employed

WE LOVE TO WORK AT NOTHIN ALL DAY

She had a west coast strut that was sweet as molases

But what really knocked me out was her cheap sunglasses.

OH YEAH

(ZZ-Top)

Yes, it's true.  It was his wife.  I read it in an interview with Eric in some guitar magazine.

Yup:

WONDERFUL TONIGHT
Eric wrote the song on 7 September 1978 while waiting for his first wife, Patti, to get dressed for a night out. They were on their way to a party hosted by Paul and Linda McCartney in honor of Buddy Holly’s birthday. They were running very late and Patti insisted on trying outfit after outfit to find the perfect one. She kept coming downstairs wearing something new and Eric kept saying, "You look wonderful. Can we go now?" Eventually, he became tired of this and picked up a guitar to keep himself occupied and wrote "Wonderful Tonight".
